A Daring Feat
The courage and daring of
man has been a theme of poets
for all ages of human history.
The Roman poet, Horace,
awarded the palm for human
daring to the man who first
tempted fate by trusting his
life to fragile bark to sail
the "separating oceans."
Surely if there were a HoT
race today he would sing the
courage of men who drive
high powered motor cars at
unbelievable speed or to the
pilots of the ships that saiMhe
air.
On January 12th at the Al
abama State Fair as Larry
Stone, world's dirt champion,
drove his car at the rate of
90 miles an hour and as
Vernie Treat, a World's War
ace, circled the track fifteen
feet about the ground, John
Hall of Birmingham swung
himself from the car to the
cockpit of the plane by a rope
ladder, suspended from the
plane.
The feat r is the first of its
kind on record and will be
shown in moving pictures
throughout the country.
The right of a small nation con
sists in what is left.
The latest thing in the way of a
vicious circle is "Pay me what
thou owest."
The striking consumer is doing
his best to establish the closed shop
in America.
The Treasury vaults In Washing
ton are a nice safe place to keep our
national deficit.
One effect of present railroad
fares has been to increase the sale
of books of travel.
Young ladies who are afflicted
with "nerves" will find thai cne of
the best tonics is dish-water applied
to the hands three times a day.
Much of America's distress is oc
casioned by the middleman. And
even more of It by the meddleman.
No matter how Nawberry's case
ends, he will always speak In ferv
ent accents of the "dear" people.
The seismograph says there is an
earthquake somewhere all the time,
but there is reason to believe that it
is merely recording the vacillating
policy of statesmen.
Formerly Europe objected to
America's splendid isolation, but
now if is coming over to help en
joy it.
When the blue laws are passed,
one who blacks his shoes on a Sun
day must be careful not to annoy
the sole. v
When little Jack Horner pulled
out a plum, it was a chorus of office
seekers that shouted "What a good
boy am I."
Cotton and wheat farmers can't
hope for a better price unless they
can persuade the bootleggers to
handle their product.
When Government begins to in
vestigate a man it shows no mercy.
It just hounds him from one news
paper column to another.
The sinner drinks hootch to get
that feoling of importance and par-
feet ion. but the reformer has it in
his natural state.
Ami so there are three million
unemployed. Well, start a govern
ment employment agency and give
them all jobs as clerks.
When Harding is driven frantic by
office seekers, he should think of
poor Constantlne. Ccnstantine got
9S per cent of the votes.
America's left hand raises money
to buy food for Europe, and its
right hand establishes a tariff to in
crease the price of the food.

O Dear Doctor Can You Tell
Can somebody tell us what is
the death rate for infants in
Elizabeth City?
The Advance is prompted to
ask this question because the
Federal Department of Agri
culture tells us that the South
produces and consumes only
three fifths as much milk as the
North and West; and physi
cians tell us that the milk sup
ply1; of Eastern North Carolina
is certainly not adequate to the
needs of its children. Eastern
North Carolina imports and
' uses vast quantities of condens
ed milk to feed its babies.
."Children fed on condensed
milk," says a well know physi
cian of this section, "have poor
resistance and are subject to
all diseases, especially diar
rheal troubles. Their mortal
ity from thesa diseases is three
times as great as for those fed
on cow's milk. The death
rate from bowel diseases
among children in North
Carolina is fifty per cent
higher than in the rest of the
United States."
Now if this is true of the
State as a whole, including
the rural sections where milk
ia comparatively plentiful

how much more so must ic be.
true in a city of ten thousand
people having no dairy to as

Milk is a necessary food for
growing children and , should
constitute sixty per cent or
more df the diet of a child two
years old. - Does that little tot

We think that it will be handled promptly.
But we are more certain that if we take it, it will
be handled to your satisfaction.
Our prices seem a trifle high to those who
are in the habit of taking their work where they
can "get it done the cheapest."
But our prices are reasonable and right and
are not high when compared with costs in the
printing business today.
We are trying to build a real printing plant
in Elizabeth City. ' "
