Every 'man is thor ouhgly convinced that advertising pays other people, 'says the market master. He is not quite sure, however, that it will pay in his oVn case. As a well known advertising authority points, out: "It's like dieting we think it's just lhc:tiiing for Smith or Jones but we hesitate to take it up our selves." . And he goes on to say that the reason we hesitate is because we fail to investigate. We haven't gone to the trouble to.stndy its benefits upoir up in particular. People read advertising tnat s why it pays," says our authority, to quote further. . "Newspaper adyer.tising catches our eye as we skim the day's news frequently it is a part of the day's work. "Rudyard Kipling wrote to a friend who sent him an American magazine witn tne advertising pages torn out to save postage: 'Next time you keep the front part, and send me the ads I can write stories myself.' "Advertising makes for better dressed people. It has taught us to cook without fires, to sweep without brooms, to make music with a disc, to,add figures by machinery, and it hsk fitted us to ready made clothing, 'uK-ertisins sens a "suit to. a man once,; but it does more. It makes, if the roods are worthy, a more or less permanent customer out of that per son. "It promises' him. that he. can come around and get tire same thing again. It gives that suit of clothes an added value in his eye." ' Advertising -is -simply making folks take notice of wh;,t you are and what you do and what you have and ad vertising pays. NO EASY JOB. "God forbicj," says Dr. Frank Crane, "that I should ever own a newspaper or attempt to manage one. It takes more quantities of both courage and tact than.l possess." What a queer man this Dr. Crane must be, to con fess he lacks capacity to run a news paper. Why, we thought everybody knew how to run a newspaper. Most people seem to think that running a newspaper is just the easiest, thing; they firmly believe that .'hey could do a much better job at it than is being done as matters are now ar ranged. Courage and tact what have they got to do with running a newspaper? Dr. Crane must be kid ding us. Dawson News. If the average reader of a news paper could only witness the publica tion of one issue of a newspaper, especially the weekly paper, where oftimes the office is not fully equip ped, the force inadequate (three men trying to do five men's work), copy piling in at the last moment, adver tisements rushed in half hour before time to go to press, 'phone ringing and countless other interruptions, per haps you wouldn't like to run a news paper. Maybe you could understand why headlines on a front page could get mixed or a missing line appear 60tiietimes if you'll try and run a newspaper. Greensboro Herald-Journal. First Modern Census. Many of the European countries had crude methods of taking a census in very early times. In England as early as 1081 William the Conqueror took what may- be termed as an agri cultural census, the results being cm bodied in the Domesday Book. The modern census originated in Sweden, Ejngland and the United States. In 1746 the Swedish Academy of; Scien ces directed the clergy to compile statistics of population, etc. In Great Britain the census ffice was estab lished in 1800. andyiie first official census taken iivl-H h first census of the United, Sf,..,- &as .in' 1730.

C. sold 5.41 pounds of poultry and 10.388 dozen eggs during 1923, as compared with 600 pounds of market poultry and 1,009 dozen eggs in )920. This large increase : in three years was accomplished, on the part of'ex tension workers 'co-operatively direct ed by the United States Department of Agriculture and the State agricul tural colleges by constantly emphasiz ing the value of purebred poultry and of the need of gradingjall products. The home demonstration agent ren dered all possible assistance in the marketing of these products, but the good results are attributed largely to' the fact that at every meeting held, no matter what subject was discussed, poultry was advised as a means of in creasing, the home income. Out of 138" women enrolled in home demon stration work, -70 improved their flocks by thc: purchase of standard- bred cockrels or baby chicks. In addition to selling poultry, 5.337 pounds of butter and fresh vegetables amounting to $i,jos.;0, were sold in the county.- The money earned by the women in these ways was divided into three portions.. -One part was laid away, for a rainy. day. one part wa.s spent in supplying special needs of thechildrcn or "for food 'or cloth ing, and the third w-as spent for home improvements. '-Among- these im provement's. 23 houses were ren'od eled by having additions, new Boots, or new lighting systems. Eleven women bought gasoline irons, I made wheel trays, anii. 4 bought, kitchen cabinets; 15 planted fruit trees and 138 planted local trees and shrubs to beautify the hoino grounds. The people must register their ap proval of honest pubic officials and their demand for lax reduction, if they expect to eliminate dishonesty in public office and increasing tax bills.

MACON COUNTY FARMERS' FEDE HOG GROWING PAYS - IN .ANSON COUNTY, RAlc.igh, N. C, March 2.Anson ': Courty farmers under .the leadership 'of County' Agent J. W. Cameron are winning out in a personal contest, with the corn belt fanner in growing hogs. Anson County 'farmers arc making money with the hogs gowti according to the plans for fccding'as outlined by '.the swine extension , workers oi the State College of -Ag--riculture. This, in substance, is a re- , port made by W. W. Shay, who re cently returned to the College from , a visit to that county. 1 . In talking with, the farmers who ate conducting feeding demonstra-i tions, Mr. Shay asked: "Are you losing money on your tiogs at present prices?" In'each case the answer was accompanied by a smile and no man -said that his hogs were costing him mpre than they were selling for.. These men know, too, exactly where they stand, because they are keeping close records of the" work and know the exact feed costs of gains made on the hogs fed. In telling about this work, 'Mr, Shay says: "These men are getting by with a profit when tne corn bel farmer is frankly selling at a loss; They are proving that the' North , Carolina' corn-fed hog can show z ' profit when the corn belt hog is los ing money, and when the corn belt hog i? profitable the Tar Heel hog is ; more so. These Anson County grow ers know that the packers handled nearly ten million, more hogs in 1923 than they did in 1922. and from Wall they know further that the corn belt If farmer is unloading his hogs and be fore he stops will sell short as he always dcs.,: 'Therefore, Jhe young pigs now in Anson Coflnty lots. will likely show a profit when . sold next September. Those pigs which come later this spring will certainly be profitable when sold next spring and the man who sells his sows now in disgust will be buying back again at a higher price, and so the Anson County farm ers smile when they are asked about the prcfits in the hog business." Is it morally right for a city or state to start business competition with its private citizens? State in dustries pay no "taxc,. but force private properties with which they compete, to pay the taxes to support the public properties. -" PEAK' PURE BRED Rhode Island Reds ' EGGS $1.50 PER 15.-: V.cu.i j our' order in ad yanct', so as to-gat eggs . yhc':r wanted.
