ADVERTISING IS OF
MOST BENEFIT TO
THE CONSVMER
Advertising benefits the eo isumer—
most of all. Advertised g >ods are
trade marfced to protect the con
sumer for quality and quant ty.
Think of the infinite variety of pre
pared foods, from which the greater
part of a wholesome meal mt-y be pre
pared with almost no work for the
housewife. \
Think of the household convenien
ces and business conveniences--the
time savers in your office or home—
the accessories which make your auto
mobile a greater pleasure.
All of these things are rather in
tricate. It would cost a si tall for
o tune to prepare a few of them for
private use.
How do you suppose the iiian who
first thought of these things was
v able to make them for you at a price
you could afford to pay?
It was through advert ling— of
course Advertising organic a co-op
erative buying units. The man with
a new idea knows that he can tell
thousands or millions of ptoi le about
his Idea through advertising, "lie
knows that the united buying power
of all these people will enable him
to produce his idea in practical form
at a cost which is only a friction of
what the first article would cost.
One of the best examples of how
is done is Esklemo Pie* Within
six months after the inventor first
had this idea, everybody in thu United
States knew about these delicious ri'.'W
chocolate covered ice cream bars.
This was a spectacular demonstra
tion of how advertising can bring a
now idea to the whole American pub
lic. But in every advertising success,
the same principle holds true.
But advertising does more than in
troduces new ideas to you. It safe
guards you in the purchase of any
advertised product. You can depend
upon it—nothing can succeed through
advertising unless the article itself
has merit. Advertising a bad product
will make just as many enemies for
that product as advertising a good
product will make friends for the
good product.
And so, if an article has beta widely
advertised for a long time, you can
be sure that it is good or the public
«" would never have supported it. You
know that advertised and tratle-mark
ed product must have a definite qual
ity—arid be fully worth the price.
You can be sure that you get more
real value in an advertised product for
every penny you spend, than you will
in an unadvertised product, because
advertising is the cheapest selling
UH'thod there is.
You know the advantages of co-op
erative buying. You have heard a lot
about the idea in the last two or three
years. You belong to a cooperative
buying society every time you buy
an advertised product. Read adver
tising. Buy advertised products. It
is the surest way to be certain of sat
isfaction and money's worth.

WEEKLY COTTON NEWS
Raleigh, Nov. 6.—Objection by the
Textiel World, a leading cotton manu
facturing journal, to the loaning of
money by the War Finance Corpor
ation to hold cotton, is without basis
so far as the North Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative Association is
concerned, according to Secretary
Ashley E. Bing.
More than three million dollars
was loaned during October by Tar
Heel bankers, Mr. Ring states, for ad
vances to members and some loans
A' ere secured outside the State, but
the government has not been asked
for a cent. "
The War Finance Corporation ten
tatively agreed to advance as much
as ten million dollars to the Tar Heel
cooperatives, but the fine cooperation
received from bankers will make it
unnecessary to use any of t'lis cred
it, according to present indications.
The cotton cooperatives are recog
nized as an important factor in the
cotton trade as is indicated by the
editorial in the Textile World, which
suggests that an investigation of
their activities be made by the Con
gressional committee appointed to
look into the operations of the cot
ton exchanges. While endorsing co
operative selling as a general prin
ciple, the textile paper objects to the
use of government credit for the
purpose, as it alleges, of bulling the
.•otton market.
The Tar Heel cooperatives will get
'pto.their permanent quartos in the
jld Academy of Music building in
Raleigh this week. While the build
ing which was leased three months
igo was being remodeled, tfie hend
luarters staff occupied temporary
luarters in a garage.
The drive made this month for
'distress" cotton has met with fine
success, according to General Mana
ger U. B, Blalock, who states that
, cotton is being delivered in large
quantities to the Association, and
ue expects this to continue through
rhis and next month.
The headquarters staff has been
.wamped with the,mass of work, and
some delay has beep necessary in
getting out grades and staples to'
members who have delivered cotton.
The office force is working night and
day to get these out, it is stated, but
grading cotton can only be done in
he daytime, and cloudy days inter
fere with classing activities.
FEUER-SYKES
A .wedding of not only local inter
est but to friends in New York City
,as well took place in the local Jew.
■ sh Synagogue on Tuesday afternoon
when Miss Chi Iselian Sykes was
married to Mr. 'Lr W. Feuer of New
York City. Rabbi Chain Lerkfetes
jerformed the ceremony. The temple
was tastily decorated with White
hrysanthernums and candles burned
HI the alter.
Miss Sykes who is a noted beauty
i tall, stately brunette, who is a great
locial favorite, entered the synagogue
m the arm of her father by whom she
vas given in marriage. She wore a
wedding gown of white satin with
labinetea silk trimming and wore a
wedding veil with orange blossoms.
The bridesmaids wore dresses of yel
low chiffon with brown satin girdles
*nd carried bunches of large chrysun
ihemums.
When the bride left the synagogue
she wore around her a fur wrap
trimmed which fell to the bottom of |
ler skirt, and was the gift of her
father. Mr. Feuer had as his best
•nan, Frank J. Margolis, of Wililanni
ton, formerly of New York City.
Mr. Feuer who has travelled in this
section for several years is a young
man of pleasing personality and has
made many friends since coming to
this city. After a wedding trip to
Asheville, N. C,, Mr. and Mrs. Feuer
will temporarily reside at the Astor

I. Characteristics of ths Subjects
of tha Kingdom (vv. 20-20).
Only ttioae who are subject# of tha
Kingdom know what bless.-duess ta.
The spiritual experience of the sub
jects of the Kingdom are marked by
the following steps:
1. Poverty of Spirit (v. itt). This
means consciousness of one's lost con
dition and worthleaanesa. It Is spir
itual.bankruptcy. It means to come
to the end of self and to sbuw sorrow
for slus*
2. Hunger for Righteousness (v. 21).
The one who has com* to know his
poverty desires the true rtghtsousueas
of Christ. A
8. Weeping Because of His Lack (t.
21). This le the godly sorrow which
worketh repentance (II Cor. 7:10).
Those who thus sorrow are assumed
that they shall laugh.
4. Treatment Which the Subjects
of the Kingdom May Kxpect (vv. 22,
28). When the subjects of the King
dom become like the King they luclte
the hatred, contempt and pereecutlon
of the world. Those whe pass through
tlila for Christ's sske should rejoice,
for there la great reward laid up for
theiu.
11. The Governing Principles ef ths
Kingdom (vv. 27 88).
L Love Tour Kneiulee (v. 27). Te
love frlenda la easy, but to love en
emies Is only possible te those who
have been made partakers ef the di
vine nature.
2. Do Good to Those Whe Hate
Vou (v. 27). Love acta according to
lti own nature. Knmtty ouly stlmu
latea love to act lu harmony with Ita
own laws.
"8. Bless Them That Curse You (r.
28). Injury by worda Is hard to lot
go unchallenged.
4. Pray for Them Which Deeplte
fully Use You (v. 28). Christ's own
example Is the best commentary on
this precept (Luke 28:24; cf. Acta
7,«>).
5. patiently Endure Wrong and In-
Jury (v. 20). The Christian Is uot to
bristle up lu defense of his rights, but
rather to suiter Insult, Injury and even
loss. This should not be preseed so
I far that evildoers can go unchecked.
It expresses the law which should gov
ern Individual action.
0. Give te Kvery Oue Thst Aaketb
(v. 80). Ttila does uot uecesaartly
mean thst the thing asked for should
be given. We should give to every
me that aaketh, but not necessarily
the thlag saked for.
7. Do as Tou Wish to Be Done By
v, 81). Title Is called the "Goldsa
Rule." If men were to live by this
rule the labor problem would be
solved. An end would be put to wsr.
International relations would be peace
fully adjusted aud all prolteerlug In
business would end.
A Be Merciful (v. 30). The mercy
of the Heaveuly Father la the graad
example.
0. Censorious Judgment Condemned
(v. 87). We should uot seek out the
evil In others for our satisfaction.
10. Danger of Following False Teach
ers (v. 80). The one who does not
know Clod and the way te heaven will
lead others to ruin. Happily, we have
the Scriptures, and the Holy Spirit Is
ready to uuke their msaniag known,
so there la no excuse.
11. Those Who Reprove Others
Should Strive te Live Blameless Lives
(vv. 81-46). It Is easy to see others'
faults, but hard to see our ewn.
12. The Bin of Profession Without
Fruits (v. 40). The one who professes
a life and fellowship with God should
practice the principle which reveal
the nature of God.
111. The Judgment te Be Applied
te the Subjects sf the Kingdom (vv.
47-40).
1. The one who hesrs and dose the
eaylpge of Christ the King shall he as
secure as the house built upon the
solid rock. The storms of ths Judg
ment cannot destroy him, for ths Rock
of Ages Is Immovabls.
2. The one who hesrs and doss not
the saylugs of Christ shalf over
whelmed In the judgment afld (o down
to utter ruin *nd destination. ,
