Cost of Marriage Increased
Big business concerns keep on say-i
ing that business is pood. They offer
as evidence the big increase in auto
mobile sales, bond sales, rubber sales,
elect i u business, and some other big
things happening in the business
world.
• They prove their case, In so far as
the people engaged in these particular
lines are concerned, yet while they
\
are prospering greatly the general pub
||f, the working people, are being bled
dry to keep the great current of
wealth HoyinK in the rich coiers of the
great. Ford's wealth is flowing in
auch large streams that it will soon
stifle all other business. The Rocke
feller wealth has piled up until he finds
it a burden, and these financier* are
The Brooks-Kilgore Break
The ohl-time price of marriage li
censes in North Carolina was changed,
beginning June Ist, from s't to $5, the
raise all being in the State tax, which
was $L hut which was raised in the
revenue act passed by the last session
of the legislature to stf. The, county
tax of sl, and the -1 fee fur the regis
ter of deeds make the $5.
At one time, following the Spanish-
American War, there was a 10c war
tax stamp on each license.*' This tax
was soon removed, and the cost of
war was all put in the after-marnage

Potmto Storage House Will Pay It's Way
It costs from 40 to 45 cents per t
bushel to build a 1,000-bushel capacity
sweet potator storage house, accord- >
lug |o plans furnished by the depart- 1
ment of horticulture at State College,
and a profit of at least 6i cents pei »
bushel is generally made on such stor- '
, age potatoes the first season. Thus
the sweet potato storage house pays |
for itself in one year. 1
s "A storage house is essential to sue- i
cess in the commercial growing of )
•weet potatoes." says Glenn O. Ran
-1 daii, extension horticulturist for the
college. "Our results show that a I
bouse of 1000-bushel capacity may be i
constructed at a cost of from 40 to i
■ 4® crate per boshel, using the standard i
I specification* recommended by the i

difference in price for the two sea
sons amounted to 76 cents per bushel.
If the 1 oss from shrinkage and rot is
deducted the profit still amounts to"
t>s.f> cents pel bushel. If 5 cents per
bushel is allowed for handling the
crop in storage, there Is still a net
profit of 00.5 cents per bushel. There-,
fore,, a storage house of reasonable
size should pay for itself the first
year."
Mr. Randall also states that there
was a -Short crop of potatoes grown
last season which makes the difference
I
in price between harvest time and this
spring smaller than usual. He states
also that the percentage of loss from
shrinkage is more apparent than real,
since potatoes are sold generally ih
containers and not by weight. He ad
vises those who wish to build a stor
age house to take up the matter with
his department at the college.

Black-Draught
Lawreneeburg, Ky.—Mr. J. P.
Nevins, a local coal dealer and far
mer, about two years ago learned
of the vahie of Thedford's Black-
Draught liver medicine, and now
he say*: ~,i»
"Until then I suffered with se
vere bilious attacks that came on
two or three times each month.
I would get nauseated. I would
have dizziness and couldn't work.
"I would take pills until I was
worn-out with them. I didn't seem
to get relief. After taking the pills
mj bgweU would act a couple or
three times, then I would be very
constipated.
"A neighbor told me of Black-
Draught and I began its use. I
never have found so much relief
as it gave/me. I would not be
without iV'for anything.
"It seemed to cleanse my whole
system and make mo feel like new.
I would take a few doses —get rid
of the bile and have my usual clear
head, feel full of 'pep' and could
do twice the wdrk."

Isn't One Roofing BUI Enough?
Don't buy a roof that's going to keep on costing yon
money for painting and repairs. Put down a roof that wffl
last—a roof of sound economy.
Barrett Shingles give this kind of roof. They nerar
need painting or staining. Their handsome surface of nat
ural slate in soft red, moss green or blue-black doesn't fade.
They will not rot or rust. Their first x>6t is
that's all there is—there isn't any morel
/ ROOFINGS
Long experience with roofing* convinces us that
Barrett Shingles are the most satisfactory for any
thing like their moderate cost. In addition they're
fire-safe —sure protection against flying spsrks and
embers. Come in and sec ilesc sturdy roofings.
