What Inventories Have Discovered
Springfield. Illinois, was the home
aed contains the torn of Abraham
Llnco'n. It is a rood town, as town
go. It meant well. I: hd it'a civic
improvement societies, and it was
Jcggtrg along in a comfortable and
on the whole. progressive way. But
all of a sudden somecdv decided it
w!ii'd be a ?ood thini to ktow
SrrlnRfield letter, to rlan for bet
trmfnt without so much c;uess
work. So eTperts wre sent for and
Sprlngfe'd s-.t down to study itself.
The Fi rvev of Srvrirse'd 1 Tery
in'eresMre. At ore or two places it
hpcaire s'artliri". There had been
more or le-s Uphold about. People
did not think rnnch of it. Fvery citv
has a little. Four m'lllons bad been
I -.p"iU hy the c!iy for water works
mil swcr. n th" wntrr was ire
Hiently eT'irrined nnd always found
&'e fcr domestic use The Inven
tory showed however, that the mor
tality from typhoid was 52 per 100,
m o and had t een an hth as eighty.
Some dies had but twenty. What
as the matter?
Many people wore still using
wells. The water of 1"0 of them wan
examined, and all hut three were
fourd to he dancerous'y polluted.
Six thousand wells were found "the
pollution of which was g'saarnteed by
T.i'On privy vau'ts."
The next year, after these homes
iver( eoune ted with, the city water
the mrrtailtv from Uphold went
down into the t,ve'i'i"s. Instead of
fifties and oIl-HIcs. per inn.non.
, This article was a pai t Iciilat k in
terestlng one tn ill" Advi'iice fimi
ly, who had MvH so loiu'. inland
that they had mis.-ed many of the
advantages of tills blessed section
and had read of cranberries urowinu
In Massachuetts but never before
In the sunny South.
Believing that a11 tl,e isnorance
of the State had n"t concentrated
ltse'f In The Advance fiinily, the
article w.is sent to the Charlotte
Observer In briefer form and ap
peared a month or two later In that
paper as a feature story with a
double column head.
The world having been enlighten
ed 10 far as wis at that time In the
writers power, the subject was drop
ped and in some measure forgotten.
Yesterday afternoon while doing
the day's marketing, the freshness
of a big measure of cranberries dis
played In the window of the Eagle
Grocery attracted the attention of
the marketer and Inquiry about
them brought from Mr. Scott the
answer "Why yes, they came In to
day from Dare".
. "We h'tve tre Masschusetts cran
berries over here In the back of
the store," continued Mr. Scott, "so
you can take your choice".
Thank you. The Advance prefers
Democratic cranberries from Dare
to Republican cranberries from .
" Masschusetts, and Mr. Davis of the
Advance force, who knows all about
.Dare Is going to te'I the Advance
readers more about Dare cranber
ries soon.
At Salem School
Monday Night
On the ightof nextJJondayjhe
0t&, at 7:33 o'clock. Mr. TDi Owen
will address the farmers of the sec
tion of the county about Weeksvllle
and Salem school on the subject of
nog cholera prevention, and it is
hored 'that all the firmer of that
tortlJnCf the county wi 1 be pre
sent.
Dr. Owen feels that as cho'era is
known to b in that end of the coun
ty, and that It U pretty sure to work
its way to this neighborhood, that
every one who owns one or more
hogs should take an interest and be
present.
At the present tlme the disease
is avout five rai'ej away from Salem
but when it is considered that cho
ler3 Is the :nojt easily of all ani
mal diseases to be spread, and that
hegs at the present time are worth
more than they have been for year
p-.u, 1' is worth the time to come
ai d learn of the methods which the
Unfed States Department of Agrl
cu'ture Is ere'eavorins to P"t into
effect t0 control, and if possible. t
eradicate this dl ease entirely.
The meeting will be illustrated
wi'h st- roptiean lantern views, and
will show bow the disease can be
fou-'ht. and the swine saved by the
means of the ant t -bog cholera serum
nnd a0 the lest Fanltary steps to
pursue If It should appear upon a
farm.

WHY TAKE A TOWN INVENTORY
By William BYron Forbush.
An Inventory Is the prime requi
site to taking up any- new buslrMss
' UOcesfifully. You would not buy a
, Store or a factory, you would not
engage a furnished house, you would
not undertake to teach a school ot
'. to take over a medical practice, un
til wou knew what was In It, what
'.you were getting for your money.
You need to know In what condition
.Jonr future possession Is, or what
tt, needs before It gets Into good
condition, before you go to work.
" " vviuiuilllHJ UDLIOIIUCIII LUC
wisest preliminary Is an Inventory.
It is possible to get along without
It. A civic Improvement society can
." bow a grass-plot and Pt "P a sign
' telling people to get off, a commer
cial c'.ub may put a big pl-i-d at
't5e railroad station telling strangers
to come to town and get free build
'lag plots and no taxes for factories,
a woman's club can ornament the
afreet corners wlh green boxes to
nnliT Mrter unit vol nnno nt ttiam
may reach deep Into the town's
needs or have a Job big enough to
Interest earnest citizens In keeping
up the work.
But when you know what you
have got and haven't got. you know
Just what you need. It is easy to go
arming hontlno ttia A pit ma 9 lnta 1

pride about the town's pet advantig
S?ving Basics
We are not so heathenish nbout
I bimim; the deaths nf babies upon
I'revideni'e as we once were, vet we
have gotten into the habit of ex
pecting that about so many will die
anyway, not re-'tlzlnsr that the medi
cn! ideal is that every baby safelv
born oii'.:bt to live to grow up. In
this pame Springfield the deaths,
the summer after they cleaned up
their milk suppK from infantile
diarrhea were reduced one-third.
They saved twenty-seven babies
from death. If It had been your baby
you would bave been glad.
In every town there Is some one
defect that people like to cover up.
nl one town It was their shanties,
and the day they had a great civic
celebration they bui't a high fence
in front of them Instead of tearing
them down. Inan ther town it was
the open garbage palls, and they
should be kept In the alleys Instead
passed an ordinance that thev
of on the street curb'
But there are towns that think it
pays to know. They won't fend off
calamity by biding their heads in
the sand. They want the town to be
clean, and not merely look clean.
An Inventory Is Good Business.
Surveys bave got a black eye In
this countr , because unscrupulous
news-mongers have bruited abroad
rnere'y the destructive side. Out a
town Inventory Is above all things
constructive. It should- reveal many
plewn' facts; It shou'd give new
material f;:r town advertising. It
will set people to work to do what
needs to be done, nnd when they
do that the town prospers. In Spring
field reil estate men soon began to
advertise their prepnrty on Its sanl
tarv merits, and 'sanitation took on
a commercial value." '
i
The -ust way to take a town in- j
vent iry Is the cheapest. Even a
small town can afford It. The meth
ed Is not essentially different from I
the way one would take the Inven
tory of an estate. Appraisers are I .
needed, under the guidance of I
chief apt ra'ser who Is something ot t ,
an expert. The ci'izens may be their -own
apprilser.-i. They may unit'- 1
clieerlul'v, for H is not an inquest;
pleasantly, for it not a muck
racking expedition: seriously, for
they don t want to lose the facts by i
being partial or superficial
A g'.od challenge with which t-
start is this motto: "We want ours'
to be a 100 per cent Town; we In
tend to find how near that it is
now."
