We Weaken Somewhat With the little editor ill. his mother ha? been absent from her desk since last Tuesday, and both staff and forco have missed her. directing hand. Her absence j makes it Impossible for the editor? to leave his office and the Christ-, mas rush makes it necessary for j Joseph Peele to give practically J his entlro time to the advertising department. In addition to the difficulties arising from the foregoing clr-l cumstances, staff and force are | further handicapped by a break down that put one of the typeset ting machines out of commission last Tuesday. The small paitj ?rt Beaded before It can be got going again was ordered by telegraph, but in the Christmas rush was do J*y?i In transit and had to be or dered again, and as yet has not arrived. In its Infancy The Advance used to run to Its public with most of Its troubles; but ns it had Crown bigger and stronger It has , come to feel that It ought to hi old enough to carry its own bur-' dens. Under handicaps and anxi-i eties so exceptional as those whtah now weigh upon us, we hw*' endeavored lo keep a stiff upyci Hp up lo the present, but \ .hope wo may bo pardoned now [ ,fot a plea for the co-operation 'and indulgence of our friends in, "?oureffort to take caro of Christ-) mas business and to keep The Ad vance as nearly as may bo up to | Its usual standard. Assistance Ik j particularly welcome In the mat-j ter of news happenings, since practically every local Item that gets Into print must be handled over the telephone. For In*tuiH-< The recent news Item In thlsi newspaper relative to the attitude' sportsmen and of hunters < f ^lhr|tmaa evergreens toward the| of the owners of land on | they go for game or holly ; has brought forth considerable comment and many Instances of the ruthlessness spoken of In the l^em are cited. ' ' Ohe farmer who went out Into his woods to cut a Christmas tree for his own little girl found thnt the city dwellers had visited his property ahead of him and * stripped the woods of practically > everything that might serve as a ' Christinas tree. And this hsd been done without any pretense of ask ing for leave. Another landowner tells of havtag a holly tree just Inside his gate which be would not have sold at any price cut cown and atrlpped of Its limbs at night, the marauder using a saw so that the notae of cutting down the tree IgUt be aiuffl. H ?till another presents tho ?aa) THE EASIEST THING HE DOES of tli? t? mint farmer, now ho butty with all his family in the cotton I patch, that breakfast and dinner | | arc cookcd together in III? morn- [ In? and time taken ut noon for! only a cold snack, his boys unabv! to And a minute to hunt thent-j selevs or even time to guap*d their premises against trespasser)? who tear down or Ignore posted signs? who finds after Christmas when there is some leisure on the farm, that his lands have already been hunted clean. One prominent I'asquotank farmer goes so far as to say that unless bird hunting Is stopped for a period of five years In l'asquo tank County, there'll soon be no birds left In the County but Kng llsli sparrows, buzzards, and may be a few crows. ! Thero may have been years of more severe storm, but taking It all In all, did you ever know a windier year tliun 1!?24? March t weather was prolonged into Muv and throughout the year rare ban been the week without some sort j of a blow. In behalf of the trains It niutl be admitted that they don't run over you unless you cross their track.

(Cartoonists will phase take note.) And there Is a story hack of the loss. One day during the campaign Smoot was trying to J catch a train. H? found he had ; time to visit a village barber. Ho; asked that his mustache be , trimmed. Before the Senator ; realized what had happened, the ! tonsorlal artist had trimmed not j wIsHy but Well. Only a bit of toothbrush had been left. Stuoot was disgusted. "Take It all off." he groaned, "and be quick about It." Looking at himself an hour or so later, the Senator was rather pleas?-d with the effect. Hut Mrs. Smoot was forlorn.
