A LOCAL NEWSPAPER
The. average man knows but
little about the cost attached to
the .publication of a news
paper. ..Not one man in a thousand,
whe.n, he has placed on his
breakfast, table any morning
newspaper, realizes how much
brain, energy, money and hard
ypflj; it, has taken to place it
there.. .
4 Jxid the same thins applies
to the local newspaper,
whether it be a daily or a
weekly.
It..takes a . hard day's work
every day to place in the hands
of .its . subscribers any daily
newspaper.
In towns like Tarboro the
patronage of a local news
paper is Jjmited to a certain ex-
tent..No paper can run on sub
scriptions alone. ., In the State
of North Carolina it is impos
sible to find a. college or a hos
pital, that is supported alone by
tuitions or fees.
And so it is with the news
papers. It can not be support
ed alone by a subscription list. J 2. Because of her determination
The advertising patronage I to hold on to the 750,000 miles of
of ft newspaper is its biggest I lanf area and to perpetuate her
asset, and on the other hand 1 domination ovver more than a mil
these rates, for advertising lion miles of seas that she has ac
3ja.ce is based on the SUbscrip-i quired or seized since the Japanese-
tion list.
The question may be asked,
what good does the merchant!
derive from advertising? Just
exactly what he should get out
of it, publicity for his business,
and the continual reminder to
the people. What is his busi
ness, where and what kind it
is-
A merchant who does not
know how to advertise had bet
ter keep ont of a newspaper,
if he doesn't want to throw
hv(ky nis money.
', Stale, lifeless, meaningless
advertisements are injurious,
rather than beneficial, because
ihey are indicative of the man
and his business. Whereas live,
active advertisements with
"pep" and "vim" show up the
Irtisiness and the businss man
in the true light.
' Beaide the matters of sub
scription and advertisement
What is a local newspaper
worth to a town in dollars and
cents? Tliis is hard to answer.
'" It ' is 'easy to disparage the
efforts of the local paper, be
cause It in some way does not
meet the exact approval of this
person br -that person. It would
be-impbssibje to find any one
roan ' fn Tarboro, that suits
eVerybody. Jiist so rt is impos
sible for any one paper to
'please Wverybbdy. Ve are not
all1 made alike, neither do we
all think alike. -' . ; . .
'Yhefilocal newspaper is one
of the tbwirt'a biggest assets. It
keeps the outside world in
toiicTi with each other. The
bfgget booster any town lias is
it's rie'wepaper. " ' '

CHAPTER VIII.
Japannae Problem and Why Japan
Wants the Arms Conference
Conditioned.
By F. HUNTER CREECH.
In the "BaBltimore American" for
September 2j, 121, on the first
page, are given ten reasons why
Japan balks at unconditional arms
parley:
1. Because expansion is absolutely
necessary for the survival of a popu
lation if 79,000,000 Japanese, hem
med within the borders of an island
territory.
Russian war, ten years ago.
3. Because she is determined to
Provi,; a lar'er fieU1 for hei' raP'dl'
growing merchant marine, through
which she hopes to dictate the trade
conditions of the Far East and the
Pacific.
4. Because she will demand non
interference with her program for
exploiting the natural and commer
cial resources of northern Chhaa,
Korea, Manchuria, Mongolia and Si
beria, whose population, aggregat
ing nearly 3 ),000,000, are deffnse
less against her huge army and
splendid navy,
5. Because of her ambition to
dominate, through the application of
imperialistic policies, the political
and economic fortunes of the coun
tries she has coerced with her mili
tary machine and from which she
must secure raw materials to gratify
her ambition for woTld power.
. Because she is determined to
find homes and occupations, from
which she will greatly profit, for the
teeming millions who struggle for a
Iiveihood in the overcrowded terri
tory of the imperial island empire.
7. Because of hr confidence that,
by the application of force, she .'will
finally compel the assimilation of the
30,000.000 of aien populaon of
Formosa, Shantung, Mongolia,' Sa
ghalien, and the islands in the Pa
cific mandated ta her by the
Versailles treaty and the league of
nations. ' . ; ' f w :
8. Because she wilT demand- the
fullest liberty , in fortifying the
island now administered by -her as
a means of defense against any at
tempt to deprive her, of the territory
the has illegally seized or te curtail
her dire need for expansion. ; ..
9. Because of her demand, that
other nations-shatl grant .racial
equality to Japanese "subjects seeking
homes and occupations outside fcf the(
imperioV Japanese empire.- jT;
10. Because of her dterminati6B
to resist any encroachment by th
United States or any ether power

Japan is probably not seekin.tr wai

quo by the subtle diplomacy of hei
Orieiu-ii statesmen, if possible, but",
if nec.'ssary. is willing to resort to
the swiii to lfeep that which she now
has. Her absorption of Siberia and ;
I Manchuria will give her the raw ma j

' cumin. r conference 011 the twenty
I one demands she recently mailt
China, ll is altogether probable that
.-.he w;Il bring into the conference
her l-'inands for racial equality,
which America would hardly agree
to, risking the displeasure of the
Pacific coast. Equally interestea
with the Pacific coast in this question
is the Western part of Canada, and
ai; of Australia, bo there is every
reason to believe that we will havve

on this issue if not actually open
