THE ELECTIONS MAKE TRADE IN BRITAIN Though Times Have Changed Many In dustries Will Still Profit. London, Nov. 21.—The prospect of an earlv general election in Great Britain a* satisfaction ij} alincst dertafn nraifHies at teadeTfe which busi ness has been si >w ever ii*oe the war and the stimulus which the eloctton will provide will come a« a relief and provide temporary employment at least for many thousand extra workers. The manufacturers of badges, rosettes and similar favors are already busy. Hotel proprietors are expect!rig a rush, for an army of party orators will descend on the country districts. The high price of paper may serve to curtail the output tof election addresAis, but there are still millions and millions of ballots, election notices, etc., to be printed—more than at any previous election. Os late years, except the period of the war, every motor ear in the country is pressed into service at a general elec tion. The railways, too, will be more crowded tha never, and taxfci, scarce' enough at any time, will be in tremen dous demand on election day. Tailors always have rush orders at election time. It is not to be supposed that there will be its plentiful as in these happier days when one could buy a new suit for fifteen or twenty dollars, yet even so the tailor will be busier than usual. Tiie batter looks back with regret to the good old days when every candidate provided himse'f with from two to half a dozen hats before starting but to ad dress his constituents. The number de pended upon the kind of constituency. If the electors belonged to the working class tiie destruction of hats, on both sides was something shocking. It Was a point of honor to leave at least a njark of disapproval on the hats of those from whom you differed politically. Indictments Against 128 Persons. (By the Associated. Press.)

Chamber of Commerce Membership Is Not Charity but Straight Business. Some folks have a notion that when they join their CHAMBER OF COMMERCE and pay their small dues they are “CONTRIBUT ING" just as much mqney to a certain cause. That’s a mistake, vml can’t “CONTRIBUTE" to a CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. There is no earthly way in which you can "GIVE” a CHAMBER OF COM MERCE a cent. For a CHAMBER OF COMMERCE is not a thing separate and apart from you; it IS you; it has no business of it's own to invest in : it IS YOUR Business. It has no lauds that increase in value, no products to sell, no merchandise to offer; Hie land whieh it hopes to make more valuable is YOUR land, the manufactured prod ucts it seeks to sell are your products, the merchandise is your merch andise. It does not come seeking your job. but it finds a job for you. CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE just don't live and thrive of themsel ves. To join the CHAMBER OF COMMERCE means an assumption of responsibility which every citizen should be proud to meet. For to be «,ailed on b.v your fellow citizens to do something constructive for your community is an honor. Get in with the men tiiat arc working to .organize a Concord CHAMBER OF COMMERCE and by doing so, you are doing Concord a Genuine Service. We need more Factories, New Hotels, New Auditoriums aud many other Enterprises that "a Chamber can give us.

OUR CHARITABLE AND PENAL INSTITUTIONS Current Issue.of “Welfare Progress” an Institutional Number. , (By the Associated Press.) Raleigh, Nov. 21.—The current issue of “Public Welfare Progress,” the month ly publication of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, which is just just off the press, is an “institu tional number” devoted entirely to the charitable and penal inotitutions in North Carolina. Included in the contents are: a his tory of these instutions, a table showing the approprations made them for main tenance and permanent improvements by the General Assembly of 1923 and spe cial stories about each of them. The institutions discussed are the three State hospitals for the insane at Raleigh. Mor ganton and Goldsboro; Samarcand Man or, Jackson Training School. Caswell Training School, the Orthopedic Hospital at Gastonia and the State prison. There also are stories about the two institu tions whieh have been provided for bby j the General Assembly, but which have. not been built, the Industrial Training School for delinquent white boys in! eastern Xortli Carolina) and a similar in- i stiution for delinquent negro boys. An- I other story tells of plans of the North ! I’ar.ftiihi*. Fedaratiou. of Colored WoumuLs ) Clubs for an industrial training school j for delinquent negro girls. Improvements recently made and others planned at the State’s charitable | and penal institutions are described in the “Progress.” This issue is illustrat-j ed with pictures of the institutions. | The leading editorial begins: "On the I whole. North Carolina.s charitable insti tutions arc distinctly creditable; well above the average in most of the states. Some of the institutions in this state have been singled out for especially com plimentary comment by the authorities who are familiar with the’ best institu tions in the country.” The editorial concludes: “The proper care of its dependents is one of the greatest problems which confronts the State. It is a problem that under pres ent conditions will steadily increase. Just so much dead wood in the form of insane and feeble minded the State must carry along with it in its march towards i civilization. Just so many delinquents must be given special advantages if they I are to adjust themselves successfully to ! society. Until the millenium breaks, ; the insane, the imbecile, the defective‘de linquent, the pauper, the orphan, the prisoner, the cripple will be with us. l “North Carolina may very well cou gratulate itself on what it has done for its unforucates—and get its second wind to do a great deal more that is s’i" in po-ative ” Throe Oho’ H- --•« '” >• ■>* 'g-’n Sc~n.
