POLK COUNTY NEWS Published Weekly by The News Publishing Co. H. A. SHANNON, Editor Entered at the postoffice at Tryon, N. C' as second class mail matter under actl of Congress TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION One Year $1.50 j Six Months $1.00 Three Months 7Sc DISPLAY ADVERTISING RATE IMM Thirty Cents Per Column Inch, Flat Legal Advertising, One cent Per Word Cash In Advance .... If we believed half of what some of our prominent politic- 1 ians tell us about North Carolina we would lock up the office door and buy a one way ticket for the South Sea Island p. d. q. Fifty years ago John Wanamaker opened a store In Phila delphia. The first day his total sales amounted to $24.67, and of the first days receipts Mr. Wanamaker invested $24.00 in advertising. When he died he left a twenty-five million dollar estate . Some people with more leisure than grey matter have been trying to figure out who pays for advertising, and there has been a great of talk about advertising increasing the cost of goods to the consumer. That's a fallacy. Advertising costs money of course, but it does not add to the cost of merchandise. It makes more business, it reduces the overhead resulting from unused facilities, and it greatly in creases production. Increase in production in efficently operat ed plants means reduction in cost of manufacture. Decidedly and emphatically, advertising DOES NOT increase the cost of goods. The tendency is exactly the reverse. The careless "give'em anything" merchant and the happy go-lucky "take anything" buyer of yesterday are disappearing from the avenues of modern business. A rapidly developing attitude of careful selection backed up I by knowledge of goods and brands through careful attention to I advertising in local and national mediums is being reflected in the more scientific management of retail stores. We believe the careful consideration of the advertising pages of the NEWS will save any reader real money. We be lieve that the libera^ use of advertising space on the part of the J merchant will increase his business in direct ratio to his ex penditure' for display space. If we didn't believe just that we couldn't concientiously sell advertising. If you are wise you'll keep on reading the advertisements] in these pages. You'll read them every week. Through them' you will learn of new comforts and conveniences men have thought out for you. You'll read them to keep alert to the many new ways of making your life more pleasant. You'll read them to compare, to choose, to save. And you'll tell yourl friend the merchant where and when you read them. > A community divided against itself will never acquire adequate parks, playgrounds or community centers befitting the the place we call home. The government of our town will go along because it is backed by law, but the non-official movements that touch more closely our community life and help to weave our social fabric will have to come largely through the vision of unified citizen ship. Cooperation, solidly backed, brings results. Musical critics state that Geraldine Farrar has a new way of doing Carmen. She has eliminated most of the scenery and all of the choruses. The interest is centered entirely on the two principal characters. Her version has been pronounced a suc cess.- v Geraldine long ago eliminated most of the cigarette makers clothing in her version of Carmen, and now with the elimina tion of the choruses, interest will center on Geraldine of course. As to her success in the role one of the best known musical critics in America in expressing an opinion regarding Miss Far rar's vocal ability, tersely said "Her father was a great ball player." Bob LaFollette in a Chicago speech said "You cannot con vict a hundred million dollars in the United States. You can not punish a millionire, as a poor man would be punished no matter how revolting or inhuman his crime may be." .LaFollette, admittedly a radical, thus challenges the judges of our courts, the sole defenders of our liberties under the Constitution. That he did this in Chicago, the scene of the Loeb-Leopold .murder case caused his words to attract national attention. Great Britian with her few laws impartially enforced has fewer homicides than Chicago itself. There is a reason. So long as property rights supercede human rights in this country of ours, just so long will radicals of the LaFollette type have fol lowers in plenty. Now the Prince of Wales is declared to be anxious to tackle the great American game of poker. Whatever the young mah may not be. he seems to be game. An optimist is a man who can be proud of his chivalry while pumping up a tire on a hot day. If the worst comes to the worst, the American world aviat ors can walk the rest of the way. Lots of people wouldn't go to the polls if they didn't waAt to vote against some one . The first telescope makers had their troubles, but they never tried to see a chorus through a bobbed head. Of all the ills that public men are called upon to suffer, slan der must be the most pernicious, if for no other reason than that it is so easy to set in motion and hard to overtake. Once fairly on its feet, a good substantial lie about a man,- and par ticularly about a man in public life, will circle the globe while the truth is lacing its shoe on. One of the worst things about bobbed hair is that too many ?ditors needing a haircut and shave are trying to say something funny about it. ^ j 4 fc t k. Occasionally a subscriber calls and asks us to write a red hot editorial on something that he or she doesn't in the least Mke. We ndtice, however, that such people usually show what courage they have by concluding^ Please dont mention my name. JWe don't ? neither do we follow their suggestions.
