From what we can gather, the wets are in favor of leav ing it up to the counties'as to whether they go wet or stay dry, while the drys are seeking a state-wide referendum on the matter. There are lots of ways to look at the matter when one gets into the matter of' revenue, etc., but personally and everyone at this point should start holding their breath we favor the referendum. Of course, one can never tell about how people will vote, but in case the matter is again put up to the people we believe they will vote against liquor as they did that dreary, overcast day some years ago when ballots were cast on the repeal of the 18th amend ment. We still remember how Mr. Reich was afraid the rainy weather was going to hurt the cause of the drys at the polls here but it turned out that the drys ventured out and got wet to keep everything dry, if you get what we mean. Downtown you'll find a lot of different opinions about how the liquor problem should be met. Some are in favor of making the entire state either wet or dry, and not bother about this busi ness of having some counties wet and some dry as is now the case. If Surry was dry and Yadkin wet, or vice versa, they will argue, why shouldn't the dry county go wet too, and take advantage of the Hugh Royall INSURANCE FOR EVERY NEED PHONE 111 ELKIN, N. C.

OPEN NIGHTS revenue that would go from the dry county to the wet county by the sale of liquor? It's quite a problem, and one we will have with us always. As far as we are concerned the state can stay dry. We've never been able to figure out where liquor, legal or bootleg, ever did any thing for anyone other than giv ing them a headache and a bad taste next morning. Of course, now, a little Christmas eggnog should be an exception. * * • THIS AND THAT At this writing Mr. Whitaker is still seeking his flood book, and we've learned since that instead of there being only two flood books around here, there are three that we know of, J. R. Windsor in forming us just yesterday that he has one too. Mr. Windsor said he has lost a book that he'd like to find, some one having borrowed it and, like all of us who borrow books, for gotten to return it. This partic ular book is under the title of "Fish River Scenes and Chartc ters," and de&ls with this section. TOE BLKIN TRIBUNE, EL KIN. NORTH CAROLINA Windsor so he wont have to wor ry about it anymore. Besides, we'd like to borrow it ourself. We had a book belonging to the company that would have proven interesting to you to read, only It was destroyed when our house bumed. It dwelt with the print ing industry, tracing the origin of the linotype and proving false a number of stories concerning Mr. Mergenthaler, the man who did much in perfection of the lino type. We had always heard that, Mergenthaler died penniless in an insane asylum after being re lieved of his interest in the Mer genthaler Linotype Co., but in fairness to the company we can say that this was not true, Mr. Mergenthaler having died of tu berculosis. He was a wealthy man at his death, receiving a large income from the company he did so much to make a success and he was not insane. The book also points out that the typewriter was invented by those seeking to perfect a ma chine to set type. Thus the type writer, one might say, is a by product of .the linotype. The first typewriter perfected was made by Remington, and was used to transcribe records of the United States Supreme Court. So you can see the "nine old men" have been up-to-date for quite a num ber of years in one respect, at least. Speaking of printing and sich, we've been looking over a couple of new school papers, the Jones ville Hi Bugle, published by the Jonesville school, and The Hill side Views, published by the West Yadkin school, both very credit able newspapers. But what set us to thinking was tfie editorial mast heads of the two with the list of officers. There was so and so, editor in chief, and so and so, managing editor, and on down the list, and all of them have . just been in the newspaper game a few weeks, while we, sweating and toiling for 10, these many years, have never been able to wtork ourself up past janitor yet. Ouess we're just plain dumb. In the West Yadkin school pa per, right down at the bottom of the list, appeared the names of two who were listed as columnists. Boy, but you two sure don't know what you're letting yourself in for! Take a look at these grey ing locks, and us so young, too, and you'll realize how we inter nationally known columnists wind up. But you'll be all right if you learn how to retreat gracefully— while running like the dickens. How can you make sixty cents out of two pieces of money and one of them not be a dime? It's easy. A dime and fifty-cent piece. Uncle Frank Miller was in a few minutes ago with a milk bill and while here considered the ad visability of running a want ad in an attempt to sell a pair of slightly used false teeth. Mr. Miller said he had just bought himself a new set of streamlined, super deluxe teeth containing three sets of biting edges that are controlled by a clever button manipulated by the tongue, and has no further use for his old set. The new teeth, he said, are equipped to eat soup, candy and tough steak. The soup teeth are very blunt as no one has occasion to do much biting while eating soup. The candy edge, which re places the soup edge by a flick of the button, is equipped with a candy unstopper upper, automat ically removing sticky candy so that the wearer can get his mouth open with very little trouble. The steak eating teeth are super keen so that the toughest steak can be bitten without undue strain on the jaws. Anyone interested in the slight ly used teeth should telephone 1010101010101010 and ask for Mr. Grinder. Come over and listen to our shoes squeak sometime. While a certain Alabama city isn't especially noted for the man ufacture of paints and varnishes it supplies the FINISH for every AUTO. Give up? MOBILE.
