This was a good omen as there are five other attractions of this series of entertainments to be given through the winter, the next the Colleens, being equally good aid should draw a large and appreciative an audience as was in evidence last night. One thing has been proved beyond a shadow doubt. Scotland Neck people can be entertained and do appreciate an offering that is clean and unsug- gestive. Last night the two hours spent at Madry 's Opera House was amusing, entertaining and instructive. Not a .. dull . moment was experienced and the time flew by until the close when all wished there could be more. The variation of the program was one of the special features of the en tertainment. Scotch, Irish, Japanese, Chinese and American melodies were sung in dialect and with a touch of native costume that added greatlv. jThe singing was fine, the action good and the interspersed reading and skits relieved the situation. All in all the Rich-Werno Entertainers were high class, as promised, and they did en tertain immensely. - EXECUTOR'S NOTICE. North Carolina, Halifax County.

A tremulous lament has arisen from a victim of monopoly or bolshevism, or plutocracy, or so cial seifemography any way, iid's the victim of something. And his complaint is that there are soda fountains which charge 40 cents for ice cream. There are. And there are shoe stores charging 40 for a pair of shoes. They wouldn't charge such a price for shoes if they didn't know that there are plenty of people willing to pay. As long as there is a demand for ice cream soda at 40 cents a throw, so long we will find ac commodating compounders of that soothing alimentive willing to dispense it at the price or at a dollar, if there are suefficient enthusiasts willing to trade. We have no kick. Theatres are always crowded ; ice crem par lors are busy; cigar stores could, in most cases, handle twice as many lines, and still find a mar ket. It will soon be more of a dis tinction t0 be a pedestrian than an auiomobilist ;. every month a few more thousands of us climb in behind windshields and join the speedway parade. The insistent and,; almost uni yer without it, and your health certainly one of the causes of the cost of living. Necessities such as wooden bedsteads are needed to make pianos and talk ing mchines; so the bedsteads become scarce and expensive. Ice cream soda, at 40 cents, would be a short lived institu tion if we all discovered that Ave don't need it. You can live for a year without it, and yolr health will not suffer. Methuselah did without it longer than that, and he was an active old bird, even in middle age. Our habit of ex travagance is not the prime cause' of high prices but it is proof that we are not disposed to do much on our own account to bring them down.
