Economy without sacrifice of performance^ Stability and highest roadability without unnecas* sary weight. The riding ease of large, costly cars. The handling ease of a bicycle. Utter simplicity in design. The lowest maintenance cost, we believe, of any car in the world. • . Two of every three Essex buyers come to it from those who form erly owned cars bought chiefly for their low first price. Just as the Coach body and Coach name have been exten sively copied, even by costliest cars, so must future mechanical design seek to approximate the results Essex gives. But the patents which make the • Super-Six the most enduring, smoothest motor and give it all advantages, also prevent any from copying its chassis. Surely you cannot be satisfied with less than Essex offers. Its cost is but little more than can of the lowest price. COMPANY (By Poger \V. Bat-son.) Bahson Park, Mass., Feb. 2'v Steers are to be raised in New Eng land—because of the automobile! Through a remarkable coincidence, (he automobile as one of our newest industries is reviving one of cur old est. New England started as a farm ing country but as cheaper and bet ter land opened in tbe west agricul ture gravitated to the plains and New England took to manufacturing. Land values in the north west de clined and agriculture all but disap peared. Nowhere have farmers had so mini a time making a living us jn the rocky hills of New England. The valleys have always been productive but most of New England has been too hard to farm successfully. The farm land of the valleys, worked for many generations, now requires much fertilizer and animal fertilizer has be come very scarce due to the advent of the automobile. Meantime land val i ties in the west have risen and rail rates have increased. The combination 1 of circumstances has created an op portunity for the farmers of these bleak hills. Steel's can be raised .vith little outside labor. The valleys will buy fertilizer and the markets of the enst will absorb the meat. A prelimi nary analysis shows that the hill larmerd of New England can raise cattle and market them at a good profit in competition with western beef plus the freight charges to bring it into the New England markets. Meetings have been held and several herds are already being gropmed as the basis for the revival of the cat tle industry in New England. Hund reds of farmers are planning to go in for cattle and the northeast promises to become important as a meat pro ducing centre. The working of eco nomic law brings about queer com binations. Perhaps one of the queer est, is that the automobile should have brought the steer back to New England. Farm Relief at this session yf Con gress is confidently expected by mem bers of both parties. The Capper Haugen bill providing for a Federal Co-operative Marketing Board is ready for action.

McCORMICK % ^ Many of you farmers have often found It necessary to take up with your I fertilizer manufacturer various prob lems, complaints, adjustments, etc. Sometimes you find that your matter has to go through a maze of red tape and he passed along to somebody “higher up." All of which doesn't add to your mental cotn you fort or get , J.G. McCORMICK, quick action. ®ec. and Treat. ... . W e, of the Acme Manufacturing Company, sel- j rtom receive kicks about Acme ferti- i iizers. but when you do have any mat-j tors to take up with us, they receive the personal and prompt attention of Mr. Gilchrist or myself. So red tape. No delays. e are home folks. Have been mak ing old, reliable Acme fertilizers forty two yeatjp Our business success it based upon making the best fertilizers men, money and machinery can pro duce. Mr. Gilchrist and myself stay on the job to see that there is never any variance in the quality of our product and to give our customers full measure of service. Acme fertilizers are composed of in gredients of proven plant food value. Our brands are made from non secret formulae. They are right up to date and in keeping with modern growing conditions and scientific manufacture. Our newly rebuilt factory at Acme, N. C.. is a wonder. The mechanical facilities are most modern. With skilled supervision. Acme fertilizers ! are perfectly manipulated, and a su perior quality product guaranteed. Thousands of Carolina farmers swear by Acme, and hundreds are switching to Acme brands each year, ' settling upon them as the best crop producers on the market. We want you, too, to give old, reliable Acme j fertilizers a trial this season. The satisfaction that comes from using Acme is shown by the following letter from-Dr. J. W. Neal, Walnut Cove, N. C.: “My father used Acrao fertilizer j some thirty years ago. I have been using it ever since. I find it equally as good, if not better than any ferti lifcer I have used on my soil." I will consider it a pleasure to an swer personally any inquiries you may have to make about your fertilizer re quirements. Write me care of the Acme Manufacturing Company, Wii mlngtoa, N. C. , i, :.

Fifteen billion dollars is the food bill paid to the retail stor es of the country compared with four billion dollars fifteen years ago, ac cording to I)r. Paul N. Nvstroin, head of tho Retail Research Association. We spend almost twice as much for food as for the 8 billion dollars of clothing purchased, and more than four times the 3 1-2 billions spent for automobiles. Of the total national in come of 68 billion dollars 35 billion dollars, or more than half, goes to the retail stores. The American table is bountifully provided. We are the best fed people in the world, in fact some eminent physicians clhim that our national vice is overeating rather than overdrinking. ( otton Acreage is Doubtful. Now Is the time of th» year, in the cotton states, when the farmer is buying his fertilizer and getting mules and plows into condition to break ground for cotton. Meantime cotton brokers are talking higher prices and this will have a tendency to hr ng in an in creased acreage. Huge exporta and u steadily improving textile market are the cause of this optimism. We have already exported 5,823,000 bales, an amount equal to the entire shipment the previous season. Including the re iv. .lining five and one-half months the total export - may reasonably be esti mated at 7.500,090 to 8,000,000 hales. Further, textile mills are not holding large supplies and with the outlook for normal, healthy business there should be a considerable domestic de mand. Estimates have placed the sup ply on hand August 1, 1025 at not more than 1,330,000 bales, the amount calculated by the Department of Commerce as on hand August 1, 1924. The Department of Agriculture re commended a short time ago that the cotton farmer- plant about the same acreage as in 1921.

This the 14th day of February, 1925. GEO. P. WEBB, Clerk Superior Court. Peyton McSwain, Atty. for Plaintiff, j meree we exported 8,256,622 pounds nf butter valued at $3,429,453 in 1924 ns against 5,845,514 pounds valued at $2,568.80? in 1923. However, the im ports during thin jreriod were 19, 404,816 pounds valued at $7„046,940 compared with 23,741,217 pounds val ued at $8,507,094 in 1923. From these figures the balance of trade against in 1923 was $5,938.2878 while for 1924 it stood $3,617,487. This gives us e favorable gain last year of $2,320, 800. Our largest shipments of butter • were to Mexico and Cuba with Pan nmn third. Our largest imports were from Denmark and New Zealand, with Argentina third. The foreign cheese trr.de of the United States showed a decline in exports from 8,331,321 pounds, valued at $2,1792169 in 1923 to 4,299,127 pounds, valued at $1, Ii7,91,r> in 19*21. On the other hand, the mports of cheese in 1924 were 5,000,000 pounds less than in 1623, thus more than offsetting the de crease in exports. Plant White Potatoes, advises the Depart merit of Agriculture. However, it does not advise an increased acre age of sweet potatoes, sugar beets, or tobacco. The large crops of white po tatoes last year were due to extra ordinary yields per acre and not .to ■ excess acreage. An acreage slightly2 larger than th.it of 1924 should be profitable to growers. On the other, baud, the present prices of sweet po tatoes are more the result of low yields in 1924 rather than short acre-' age. An increase of more than 10 per cent over 1924 acreage with an aver age yield is likely to produce more sweet potatoes than could be mar keted profitably. “BatH-r-r-up!" (From Charlotte News.) A fourtecn-yrar-old youngster, his cap over Ida riifht ear and his book satchel slung across his left shoulder, suddenly gave a great burst of speed as he turned the corner that brought into view the srhoolhouao. Sticking out of a hip pocket were three fingers of a grimy baseball glove that had been soaking in oil to. ‘‘limber 'er up” and in his right hand* was a bat that was almost as long as1 Junior himself. , "Take me. Slim!” he yelled as he neared the schoolgrounds on which aj baseball game was in the brewing.' Two other lads about his own age,, were “picking up." “I got yuh, Fatty,” one of them! squalled. “Bring that air bat over* here and get on second. Hurry up; it 1 ain’t long till the bell’ll be ringing.” And in another minute the Nation al game was on. It won’t Ik- long until baseball will be back with us. The breath of Spring, that for tiie past two days has been hovering around and the attendant' peanuts, hot-dogs, popcorn and “dop es.” . ; . . i . Out at W'enrn field in another couple of months the familiar “Right here to get yd’ hot-dogs, folks” will he echoing through the stands and in the bleachers. Baseball will be claiming the atten tion of schoolboys, preachers, carpen ters, poor newspaper men, and Presi dents. It's born in the American- to* lik" baseball. Stick a baseball bat ih' an American baby’s cradle and he’ll know which end to grab. It’s the National game and there’s no other near runner-up—unless it be politics.

A cheap job of painting is like a cheap suit of clothes, both are too costly. Pay enough for a good job of painting, but don’t pay too much. Remember th'is—a real good job of painting- is going to cost just so much—don’t pay more than it’s worth. But if you are looking for the cheapest painter to do your job the cheapest, you will get what you are looking for. It costs too much to havo painting done too cheap. But don’t waste money on paying too much for your paint ing. May cost a little more but its worth more than it costs to get “QUEEN” to do your painting. Wm. Henry Queen Fainting — Faperhanging.
