The newspapers are feeling keen " ly the bite in the increased cost Of newsprint paper, and It Is mani fest that if there is not some relief found that there wil bo papers vhich will have to shut up shop, as the hli, cost of print paper will knock the, preps from under the publications. Kverj where In news paperdom there is being souuhl some relief. But thor are other lines of busi ness In which the pinch of the high ' cost of paper Is being felt. All lines Of selling In which there is paper used In wrapping bundles and pack ages of any and all kinds are feel ing the cost. The remedy for the condltlonsj which they face lies In two things, these either In concert or Independently. One Is that all who use .wrapping paper agree to discontinue Its use except in the absolutely necessary cases; and the other 19 that (he puUIc agree to stand by the merchants who cut out the needless wrapping paper. There is manifestly a great waste of wrapping paper, needless cover ings being put on packages, simply because the public lias become ac customed to the coverings. Anil tons on tons of paper have to be bought for this leodloss covering of parcels. The public may rKt assur ed that In -we way or another It is paying the paper Mil. There are so many things on which paper wrap ping Is superfluous. Cardboard boxes canned goods, bottles In the first wrappings these and other things can be carried or sent as directed without, the additional wrapping, ami money can he" saved, it is up to the public to get this point of view, and to aid the merchant t0 save money. NeedlesB wrapping should go. ami go quickly. There is another matter connect el with the Increase in the cost of paper whin, might well he given attention. IV U that children in many cities are collecting old Paper i'"'1 selling it. the money being used for playground purposes, the old paper giving stock for paper mills. We notice that in se.ne of the !:m:cr cities of lb" leuntiy pr.iii-ila ly in wa-hiPi.ion. n. r. ;-; lot of money has I.e. n wecivu f.e. the school playground '' ,Klvil,'; thO pupil of the school collect the waste paper.

A MINNEAPOLIS IDEA The New York Times tells of a campaign to reduce the street accl dentR, whlc,, is educational and not Tlndlcllve in nature and Is in line with the modern co-operative com munity spirit: "An Ingenius and decidedly prom ising scheme for diminishing the number of street accidents has been devised and put In operation by the Civic and Commerce Association of Minneapolis. It Is the maintenance of a bureau to which all citizens are requested to send reports as de tailed as possible of observed In stances of carelessness of reckless ness In the use of automobiles or Practical Economy Baking powders made from aluin or phosphate may be bought for a trifle less than Royal Baking Powder, which is made from cream of tartar, derived from grapes. Alum powders are not only cheap, but they differ greatly in leavening power If a cheap baking powder is used for a fine cake and tne cake turns out a failure there is a waste of costly materials worth more than a whole can of the cheap bak ing powder Royal Baking Powder produces the finest food, and its use therefore, results m an actual saving. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York other vehicles, and they are also asked to make complaint of failures on the part of the city's Highway Department to keep the streets In such condition as to make safe their use. "Every accusation against a driv er or chaffeur that provides the necessary data Is followed up by the association. For the first offense a mild warning is sent; for the sec ond a letter of sharp reproof and warning, and when a third one a gainst the same individual comes In his prosecution In court is begun. I, ike action is taken in case of ofli ci.il negligence. "The effort is educational rather than vindictive, lor Investigation' has convinced the association that a larg; majority of street accidents are due to hnbttual carelessness or Incompetence thrt em be discover ed before serious consequences have resulted from it. And discovery of ten means a timely cure. "Working against the success of the plan is the characteristic Amer ican disinclination to take personal trouble for a public purpose, but in Minneapolis the accusing -letters or postal cards are treated as confi dential, and the writers are nut summoned as witnesses. That helps' THE HOPE OF TOMORROW Not Rlnce The Advance has been In Elizabeth City have we heard such enthusiastic reports of school life from students, teachers and patrons. The old spirit of criticism and fault finding Is passing away and a new day is dawning In Eliza beth City. The .leadership of those In charge of the various phases of school ac tivities is in large measure respon sible, of course, and we could be personal, and cn'l a number of names In this connection. We conb! mention Chautauqua and the in Senco""of that" movement In this connection, too and we might even though we sre sure that this would call forth a protest from the ladles themselves, refer to the fact that two of the school's trustees have exerted their gentler influence in bringing ah.nit a better spirit. - But. we have learned this much In our brief experience In the news paper world. real leaders are quite content to see progress In their work, and peek not glare and glory and credit fof themselves. And we merely repeat what we have said many times since the Junior Chm tau.imi play last June. "Depend on tho bos and girR" They me onj n, ;,, '( f m.ikiiiK thi school year -r .I,,.,. 1 reader.

Well, truly, the women are com ing int0 their own, and incidentally having a hit of revenge. Cant' you recall the innumerable times you have been seen leofing about the house in the way of the good house keepers and kiddies? We are requested again to call at tention to the fact that those who undertake to entertain delegates to the ISaptist State Convention at IMz abeth City next month will be ex pected to provide only lodsin?; and brea'fait for their guest. This is the Havard Plan, and it is the plan of entertainment that the TSaptista of the State have decided upon as the most satisfactory all around. Tts main purpose in to save housekeep ers from overwork and worry dur ing the convention and permit thorn some time to attend its sessions. Prohibition In Norfolk and no police court in Elizabeth City in two weeks. It looks as if even the liquor folks will have to quit pull ing that old gag that prohibition doesn't prohibit. The liquor trailic Is outlawed now in 23 states of the Union. One more will give the drys a majority of the states. Nati onal prohibition is no long r a dream. It is a coming reality.
