' THIS AND THAT Has anybody seen Mr. Whitaker's flood book? Some one borrowed it to look at and has probably overlooked re turning it, and Mr. Whitaker has forgotten who he loaned it to. The reason we are so interested in the matter is be cause we want to borrow it ourself. The book in question was published by the Southern Railway Co. following the flood of the Yadkin, and other rivers, in 1916. It contains pictures of the flood at various heights and the damage done by the water. It's one of only two books of its kind around here. We hope you'll pardon us : but there is one thing that w cat got out all right, but the one 4 and only mouse we had in the entire house hasn't been seen since. We've about made up our mind that the mouse was in the cat. In that case, the mouse got out, too. One of the kids, carried from I Here's a Gift for the house- I wife.

Our pet the house half asleep, in his pa jamas, and barefooted, headed back into the house the minute he was put down on the wet ground. He said his feet were cold. We had to chase him down. Since the last paragraph above was written the home of Uncle Sant Holcomb, over in Jonesville has been damaged by fire. To make matters worse, the Elkin fire truck was held up at the rail way crossing by a train. Luckily, it reached the scene early enough to extinguish the blaze, even in the face of a whipping wind. Maybe some day Jonesville will actually put in a larger water main connecting the water sys tems of the Jwo towns. An inch and one-haly line across the river looks migh'dy small when some one's homie is ablaze. We under stand plans have already been drawn for a larger water line, but an actual fire is rather hard to fighy with blue prints. If we were sure it wouldn't spoil every chance/ of the new water main, we'd start one of the Browning guaranteed useless campaigns for it. Ur.cle Sant was one of the calm est persons at the fire. We were calm at our fire too, until next TiTK ET.KTN TRTRITNR KTKfN. NORTH CAROLINA day, when we put on one of the grandest exhibitions of the ner vous shakes ever to be seen in this section. It's a pity we didn't have a few milk shakes hung on to us. We could have saved the soda fountains a lot of wear and tear on their electric shakers. But enough of fires. While we are raving and ranting around about our troubles and the trou bles of others, there might be som§ weighty matters floating around needing our expert atten tion. Only we've found, once we've given a matter our atten tion, it's usually a total wreck. But that's life, we reckon. If there were no wrecks, what would become of all the wreckers? Think it over and make your report at the next meeting. After taking one look at Mc- Daniel's advertisement in last week's issue of The Tribune we were fully convinced that he is trying to steal our stuff. Just to look at Mr. McDaniel one would think he had fairly good sense, but after reading that ad one be gins to wonder, doesn't one? Still, after subjecting him to our interviewing department, we had the information that he ran such an ad. to get people to talk ing. That being the case, his ad. was a fair success. Still, should he continue to copy our always original and entertaining stuff we may be forced to enter suit. In our present state, we'd be willing to compromise the suit for a suit. FERTILIZER CO. TO GUARANTEE PRICE Smith-Douglas Company to Con tinue 1936 Policy of Protecting Customers Against Decline I Norfolk, Va., Jan. 30. R. B. Douglas, Vice-President of Smith- Douglas Company, Inc., fertilizer manufacturers of Norfolk, made the following announcement today with respect to price guarantee and refunds to customers during the coming season: "A great many farmers have written us or inquired of our rep resentatives as to whether or not we will continue this season our policy of guaranteeing prices, and in event of decline on price mak ing refunds to customers in the same manner and for the same reasons as caused us to make such refunds last season. "I am very happy to announce that our policy will be the same as in 1936. We will continue to guarantee our prices against our own decline. Also, we will con tinue to pass on to customers such savings as they help us earn by paying cash with order, cash on delivery, or by making early pay ment. "We believe that this is the fair thing in dealing with outr customers, and we will continue this policy indefinitely in the fu ture." It will be recalled that in July 1936 Smith-Douglass startled the fertilizer and farming world by mailing checks to its customers totaling nearly SIOO,OOO, based mainly on its guarantee of its prices against decline. At that time, Mr. Oscar F. Smith, President of Smith-Doug lass, made the following state men with respect to his com pany's policy: "To do other than guarantee our fertilizer prices against our own decline would be grossly un fair. It would be even more un fair after guaranteeing our prices not to refund to our customers in event we reduced our price. There is no reason why a customer who orders early at a certain price should be penalized if, at a later date, we decide for one reason or another to lower our price on the same piece of goods for the same crop. We have always tried to make it a point of company honor to see to it that no customer, re gardless of when his order was placed, paid a higher price than other customers in the same area for the same grade and quantity."
