OVER THE TOP AGAIN.
Concord oversubscribed the funds
sought for the Y. M. C. A. for the ensu
ing jlear. canvassers in the campaign re
porting at the end of the second day that
more than $1(5,000 had been pledged dur
ing the drive.
The local assoc : ation Is one of the most
active in the country and vre felt all
along that the people were not going to
sacrifice its good for the sake of a few
dollars. There was a time when it would
have been practically impossible to raise
SIO,OOO for the Y here, but that time has
gone, and gone forever, we hope. The as
sociation during the regime of H. W.
Blanks and his asistants has touched the
life of practically every person in Con
cord and that’s the reason the campaign
went over with such a whoop.
The people have seen something for
their money. They have seen hundreds
of children benefitted by the Y. They
have seen the association building utilized
by all classes for all kinds of worthwhile
things. They have taken part in many
attractive and wholesome things sponsor
ed by the Y. In other words they have
been convinced that the Y ’a worthwhile
and they are unwilling for anything
worthwhile to perish.
Upon the manner in which they sub
scribed to the Y the people of the city
are to be commended. They did not have
to be driven. They were shown the way
and they gladly followed.
IVith the subscriptions made during
the campaign Mr. Blanks and his assist
ants can plan for another active year’s
work. And there is none who doubts
that the year will be an active one.
THE UNSETTLED TEXTILE MAR
KET.
Conditions in various textile centers
seem to be about the same and an edi
torial in The Gastonia Gazette covering
conditions in that city and county could
justly have been written for this county.
“The cotton mill business is doing fairly
well in Gaston county if you talk to one
man. and it is on the blink for fair, ac
cording to the drift of the next man’s
conversation.’’ The Gazette says. Con
tinuing The Gazette says “it all depends
on the mood he is in when you hit him.
or the number of orders he has, or lias
not received that day.
“The market is as changeable as the
weather. Some days conditions look
good, and again the outlook is gloomy.
Sonic mills are making money and paying
dividends. Others arc riot and will not
for some months to come. The prevailing
opinion is that the mills that have had
their cotton bought have been breaking
a little better than even during the past
few months.’’
A Philadelphia authority sums up the
situation this way: \
“Some spinners claim they ought to
have at least 21 cents above cotton cost
in order to get out with a meagre profit
oh the manufacture of this number. This
gives rise to the impression that at cur
rent market quotationa/th* spinners face
a loss in taking orders for 20’S t*o-piy

“It is realized among yarn sellers that
tile only way to combat such a state of
mind Among consumers is to decrease the
floating supply of yarns, but this is not
as easy to do as might appear on the sur
face: Local unsold stocks of yarns are
admittedly smaller than a year ago. but
it is held that the spinners must curtail

the low price levels of last summer. It
Is just as difficult to induce yarn spinners

a change calculated to reduce

The thrice accursed automobile

streets, wide as they are, aren’t
wide enough for swarms of
these honking, (flatting things.
Merchants are insisting that road
ways bq, extended and sidewalks
correspondingly shrunk to make
room for more. It’s been done in:
several instances. Worse is to fol

With these movings backward

trees. There's talk of mutilating
the old elms even along the ave

are clamoring also for the paving
of the green spaces to make park

General Hog Feeding Suggestions
The Progress!v? Farmer
In general, feed 3 to 5 pounds concen
trates per 100 pounds live weight daily,
giving larger amounts to younger pigs
and smaller amounts to larger hogs,
2. For pigs at weaning time (40 to
50 pounds) feed 5 pounds concentrates
per 100 pounds live weight daily or 4
ponds concentrates per 100 pounds live
weight daily and forage as they will eat.
3. For slioats (about 100 pounds,) self
feed or feed all they will take (about 4
or 5 pounds).

THE CONCORD" DAILY TRIBUNE

|f'• bo JOBS QUICKLY
Skies Today Are Far" More Important
Tbagi Sales Next Year,
j Occasionally i- every newspaper men
! hears the old. chestnut, ”a newspaper ad
; vertisemeßs jfpUs for only one day.”
I There are many evidences indicating that
the response actually covers a longer pe
riod of time, eays a writer in Newspaper
Advertising, official publication of the
A. N. A. E.
An extreme instance just occurred in
Indianapolis. A man brought a newspa
per clipping to Krause Brothers, a men’s
clothing store, showing a small section
of an advertisement that offered men's
hats of odd irses at a reduced price.
The customer volunteered the informa
tion that the‘ Advertisement appeared
some time ago but that the firm might
be having another clearance sale at about
this season of the year. Actually, the
advertisement appeared in the newspaper
two years previously.
This is an unusual circumstance. Nev
ertheless, it •dds evidence to the state-1
ment that newspaper advertisements pull
for several days at least.
The ne\vepap*rs do not aspire howev
er, ho complete for a "long life" with
media thnt are sold upon that theory. One
great strength cf the newspaper a/ an
advertising medium is the fact that it
gets quick action.
Merchants, classified advertisers and
manufacturers would rather make sales
today than next year.
Opponents of newspaper advertising
say that "nothing is as dead ns yester
day's newspaper.” Those whd -know,
promptly respond that “there is nothing
as alive as today’s newspaper.”
Today's newspaper is not competing
with Methuselah in establishing a record
for long life. The newspaper prefers
lo put over n healthy wallop while it is
young and full of i>ep.
FRATERNITIES ARE
FOUND ALL RIGHT

Conference es Deans and Advisers of
Men at. Chapel Hill Think Well of
Them-
Chapel Hill, April 23.—Fraternities
are a desirable asset in college life and
the good in them far outweighs the bad,
speakers deehtred today in the first ses
sion of the seventh annua! national con
ference of deans and advisers of men,
who convened at the University of
North Carolina, for a three-day discus
sion of all phases of student life. Thirty
delegates from leading institutions of
the country are in attendance.
The conference also decided tliaf
students who combine studies with
extra activities, with the pos
sible exception of freshman in certain
elnsxes usually make a higher scholastic
standing than do students who stick
strickly to their textbooks.
A roll call showed that 20 of the 30
delegates favored pledging students early
during the freshman year while six
were for deferred pledging. Virtually all
favored deferred initiations ranging
from four months after entrance to a
year. The advocates of early pledging
argued the difficulties of students set
tling down to work while being "rush
ed, " while the minority opinicn was
that neither student nor fraternity
would be aMrHn chobse wisely until
sufficient time had elapsed for them to
know each otjifß .well.

lina Inn tonight, followed by ft faculty

Government Whitewash Formula '
The Progressive Fanner.
A whitewash that has been thoroughly 1
tested by the I’nited States Government '
and many individuals is made as fol
lows :
“Slake in boiling water one-half bushel j
of quicklime, keeping it just fairly covered
with water during the process. Strain
to remove the sediment, which will fall
to the bottom, and add to it one peck of
salt dissolved in warm water, 3 pound* 1
of ground rice boiled in water to a thin \
paste, % pound of powdered Spanish whit- i
ing, and a pound of glue dissolved ill
warm water. Mix the different inf,re- '
clients thoroughly and let the mixtur* <
stand for several days. When ieady to
use, apply it hot. If a less quantity i*
desired, use the same proportions.” _
For buildings on the farm', fences,'etc., j
this will to a great extent answer thp.pur- ,
pose of paint and at a much reduced 1
cost. The rice floor and glue make the ]
whitewash stick. Rain and freezing have i
slight effect on this whitewash and it may l
be put on with a sprayer. When spray- j
ed. hold the nozzle 15 or 20 inches from i
the sprayed surface.
