THE ROANOKE BEACON ANl THE WASHINGTON COUNTY NEWS Published Every Friday in Plymouth, North Carolina . __ ■ ■ . _I' "• -__ LEE ROY HARRIS,.Owner and Publisher Walter H. Para more Edi tor 81.50 A YEAR Tof SIX MONTHS Address all communications to the Roanoke Beacon, Plymouth, N. C. Entered as second-class mail matter at the Postoffice, Plymouth, North Carolina, under the act of March 3rd, lbS7. FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1929 Mothers Day Sunday, May 12. is Mother's Day. The entire nation will join in paying annual tribute to mothers. Whether it be through special programs in churches, schools, or other public places, matters not. Mothers will not be forgot ton on that day. The busy man who has much to engross his mind, even on Sunday, will not be too busy to breathe a silent prayer for the happiness, the peace and the content ment of mankind’s greatest earthly triend mother. It may be thac she has passed on, then it will be a praver for a peaceful sleep, through eternity If living, it should be a prayer spoieen aloud, and to her—either by lips or letter. Six Page Paper Many compliments have been received by the publisher of the Roanoke Bcaccn and the Washington County News from the sub scribers relative to the six page paper issued last week. The publisher appreciates these kind words of ercouragement, and would like to put out a six page paper each week. However, this paper is like every other newspaper, the amount of advertising governs the number of page, that goes in any special issues. Pick up the State papers or any publication that circulates in this section. Some times it has more pages than at other times. Always notice while reading that there are more advertisements in the paper when it is larger. This stands to reason. It costs money to get news from the county, then a fair salary is paid a man to edit andbe in charge of arranging this material for publication in addition to getting news. Then the copy must go to a linotype operator who gets a large salary for his ^ork. Then it goes to a printer who arranges it in the forms in preparation for printing Then it goes to the press which cost a goodley sum then it is run off in the paper and mailed to the several hundred subscribers which also costs money. So a paper must have advertising to operate. Every additional page necesstates additional expense. Unless there are enough additional ads to pay for printing additional pages it would not be sound and wEe business management to issue extra pages. However, the publisher is optimistic, and believes that the time will come when the merchants of this town will realise the value of advertising. Then the paper hopes to go to eight pages regular. The very fact that the publisher put out a commendable paper last week should settle the fact in the mind of every person that an interesting, enlightening and fairly good paper could be published each week if the merchants cooperated with the necessary advertising. The Beacon offers good opportunities for advertisers. So bear in mind that all of us are depending on the advertisers for the six and eight page papers. ] FARM N OTE S | The branch creamery in Clay County has doubled its output of butter within one month after opening. Four-H club boys of Edgecombe are learning to shear sheep as one means of earning money for club work. The acerage to improved seeds in Richmond County will reach highest proportions this season, reports the county agent. A group of farmers in Northampton County brought 1.500 pounds of Sudan grass for planting as an emergency hay crop. Rowan farmers are planning to cash in on the growing of sweet clover in that county by transferring their bees to modern hives. The oats and crimson clover combination in Edgecombe County has caused favorable comment from government farm investigators. Before moving 74 head of cattle from Caldwell county to Watauga for summer grazing, the owner had the herd vaccinated for black leg. Peanut growers of Scotland County have made a cooperative order for seed, limesto te and landplaster to be used In growing the crop this season. >V»0l> FOR Ntlil PINE SLAB CUT IN STOVE LENGTH FROM BARREL MILL $2.25 TRUCKLOAD(!
