This amount has been ex ceeded by only two years in the history of this country—1917 and 1920. These figures do not sound like the “hard times” cry that we often hear in this sec tion. Commissioner Grist kills two birds with one stone when he buys a car load of paper from the great pulp mill at Canton, Haywood County, for use in of ficial departments at a saving ol $1,800 per year. He practices economy and at the same time lives up to a mighty good slo gan: JNorth Carolina lor .North Carolinians. To patronize home industries especially when the goods are satisfactory com mends itself as a good policy. Of the different “weeks” that are being observed all over the country from time to time, per haps “Be Kind to Animpis Week” which is to be observed April 13-18 is gaining in inter est as fast as any yet originated, it is a fine movement that was started by humane societies and every one should be glad to help encourage the sentiment that prompted the cWebration of this week. Animals should be treated with kindness and con sideration, especially the domes tic animals that give their live! in service to nyan. m AND COMMENTS It would bo interesting to know who writes some of the editorials in the Raleigh News and Observer. For instance, the three column editorial in the Sunday edition did not seem to be in the usual style of the editorials in that paper. If some one on the outside is writing editorials attack ing the administration of the State Prison by Mr. £ou, that fact should be indicated. -o Mr. Josephus Daniels says that the political issue between the two par ties now js, “Shall the trusts be in the saddle?” Possibly that may be come the issue, but there does not seem to be any well-defined issue be tween the two parties now. During the last campaign there was no clear issue between the Republican and Democratic parties. Coolidge was for “common sense in government”, and Davis was for “common honesty in government.” There was no issue on these two slogans, for everybody was for both common honesty and common sense in government. --o Over the entrance to the door of the Ford plant, at Charlotte, there is a sign which says that every work man must have on a clean pair of overalls on Monday morning. At first thought that might seem to be one of Ford’s cranky ideas, but there is probably a good reason for it from Ford’s standpoint, which is greater efficiency in production. -o Book agents and magazine agents tell us that “leaders are readers.” Capitol Cafe j Where you get good things to eat OPEN DAY AND NIGHT EASTERN CAROLINA EXPOSITION April 1 .*?—18 Your Boy Deserves a Real Easter Suit— Your Purse Deserves a Square Deal HERE ARE BOTH!

Grantham 0 Head-to-Foot Outfitters © for MEN AND BOYS Smithfield, North Carolina © It is by no means true that all lead j ers are readers, and it is certainly not true that all readers are leaders. However, there is a great deal of truth in the statement that leaders ^are readers. The leaders nP any vo cation or profession have to keep abreast of the times, and especially do they have to keep themselves in formed as to the advances in their own vocation or profession. This can be done to a certain extent by conversation with others in the same profession or trade, but the best way to keep fully abreast of the new methods and ideas of one’s trade or profession is to read two or three papers or magazines of one’s trade or profession. Once in a while a book which has been written by an author ity in one’s trade or profession should be read. The farmer should sub scribe for two or three good farm papers and study them carefully. The farm papers secure for their readers all of the latest information about farming, marketing, etc. All the practical results of the experiments which are made at the experiment farms and agricultural colleges find their way to the farm papers. Thus the farmer can get many benefits of the agricultural college without going there. What is true of the farmer is true of the mechanic, the druggist, the milliner, the lawyer, the doctor, the teacher, and for any other vocation or prefession. Of course, merely reading these papers and magazines will be of no use unless there is an effort made to use what seems to be practical for one’s own purpose. Much that is printed in the magazines and papers is not practical for the average'man in his vocation or profession, but a great deal of it is practical . Once in a while an idea will be found which can be worth hundreds of dollars if the idea is put into use. Then there is such a thing as read ing too much. Some people do so much reading that they have little time for doing anything else. Fur thermore, they may get mental in digestion. .T H. F. KEEP THE TRASH MAN BUSY When we expect company wre us ually cleen up, sweep floors, dust, etc. Smithfield is looking for 10,000 people next Monday. Why not every body clean up front yards, back yards, streets, alleys and anywhere else that a visitor’s eye may rest. I Jet all business houses that have waste paper see to it that it is burned or turned over to the trash man. It is quite an eyesore to see loose pa per blowing about, lodging around yard-fences, flower bushes and lawns. The visitors will get a bad impression of our town if they are allowed to see it dirty. Show your town pride if you have any and if you do not, i clean up any way, to be in the lat est style. When anything is thrown out to be burned, be sure that it is really burned. Some one' fired a pile of paper Monday and it was scat tered all over the court house lawn. This was not intentional, but some ione was in a hurry and the wind did the rest. A. J. PARKER. MR. SANDS REVIEWS 4IST0RY OF CO-OPS (Continued from first page) twelve grades on whicn the growers have received 75 percent of the bankers’ valuation. The only section in which complete settlement on the two crops has not been made is said to be in the dark fired district of Vir ginia. Assets of the members of the asso ciation are steadily growing, as they pay each year one-fifth of the $3, 000,000 owed on 150 warehouses in the tobacco belt, of the three States, and as the reserve fund of the asso ciation is built up. This, together with the establishment of credit corporations under the intermediary credit act, has given the tobacco growers a new means of credit hith erto unattainable by the individual farmer. In the letter accompanying this statement, Mr. Sands calls attention to the increased money brought in to the three States through the in creased price which tobacco has brought during the existence of the association.
