Surveying ten years of corporate activities, the National Industrial Con ference ]^ard is surprised to find that Big Business has become quite another sort of thing than the Big Business that was so mercilessly manhandled by trust busters early in its career. The secret of the change is that Big Business has fallen into the hands of the most capable men in the country, and they realize that a square deal is the best policy in the long run. How quickly public opinion has re sponded is seen in the general recog nition that the larger corporations are as a rule the most honestly and fairly conducted. Thus Big Business, from being re garded as a menace, may be in the way of becoming a public pet.—San Francisco Chronicle. Southern Pines Investment files articles for incorporation.

Pines WINTER IS SO CLOSE AT HAND THAT IT IS TIME TO BE THINKING ABOUT KEEPING WARM One of the first things you need is a Heating Stove Then with that you need some pipe and a coal shovel and a coal hod. For the fire place a pair of andirons to hold the wood up out of the ashes. To make wood a good cross-cut saw is desirable. So is a Buck saw. With the sweet potato ready to bake you begin to figure out about a ’possum to go with the potatoes. Can’t cut a ’possum tree without an axe, and if the axe is a good one it may mean that you get the ’possum, while a poor axe may let him get away. Good night for ’coons oc casionally in this moonlight time. Want an axe to cut a ’coon tree, too. And you want an axe to cut wood, for a dull axe is an abomination when the fire is out. Axes with handles, axes without handles, handles without axes. Anything you need to help keep the home fires burning. Bedding and Bed Covering After you have stayed by the fire as long as you like you want a place where you can sleep warm. A shipment of bed covering and bedding is coming in these days, and you might as well be getting in your supplies so you will have them on hand the next cool night. What is the use to put off until January what you might have the use of from now until spring? Get your winter conveniences right now and be comfortable all winter long. ^ If you need a new fiue before firing up we have the brick and lime, and about everything else you will be called on to secure now that frosty days have appeared. And of course we have Winter Wearing Apparel for Everybody.
