Too Thorough I A friend of the street commission- 1 cr of New York, white passing through the city for the fir'd time in his life, : lost a watch which he valued highly. | Not being familiar with Manhiuten, | the man wrote to the commissioner -if hi. loss, and asked him to do his best to find the missing article. The co.n ! missirner answered that he would do ■ all in hi power to recover the watch and not leave a stone unturned in the search. 1 A short time after this time the man happened to be in New York ; again and business took him in the direction of Park avenue. A new etil>- : way was in course of construction, | although he didn't know it. At u ! glance he took in the piles of stone, j dirt and other material front the torn j un .street. Rushing to the nearest ! telegraph office he sent the following | message to the commissioner: "i)i not bother any longer. Watch j notwoith it.'1 Weekly Newspaper In Service Given •‘There will- continue ta be for « h ng time, many week™ ami scfi.i weekly newspapers in the state be cause the daily field is limited,’’ says the Statesville Landmark. “Tks weeklies are as important in then field as the dailies in their, and the constituency served by the weeklies deserve the In-st the field affords. In fact the field of the local weekly Is TiicVi! iuipoitant ,and it offers oppor tunities for service that are not found in the daily. In brief, the country weekly ably and conservatively edit ed, can and does render a greater set vice to its constituency than it is pos sible for the daily to render in that field.. Therefore, the importance of strong men, trained men, taking hold of the country weeklies should be stressed. Not all who aspire to news paper workican find jobs on the dail ies and it is best for them and the dailies that they do not. If they can take a country weekly and make it go, can put it on the map, the finan cial reward may or mav not be ■ so great but the service will be greatei; anti he who demonstrates in the week ly field that he is a real newspaper man will find openings in plenty on dailies. In fact the dailies—the lar ger dailies especially—are always looking out for men who have made good pn weeklies.” DR. A. A. LACKEY —DENTIST— | Fallston, N.

COLOR AM) III MOR ADD TO LONDON'S OMNIBUS WAR London:—Cr lor and humor hate been added to London street life by the hitter omnibus war. The London Omnibus compary, against which the independents are struggling, has all its busses labelled “General.” Rival lines have their vehicles named as variously ah Pullman cars in (he United States. One of the line;, ca"s its busses “Admiral.” The independent busses have com bined to get business away from the dignified old “General.” whose em ployes refuse to solicit passengers while the rivals keep up a constant ballyhoo. The “General” busses are all red.’ Many of the independent lines also have ; nut vehicles. “Try’ the brown, hoys,” is the cry of the Chocolate Ex press company limited. “Have a green one,” is the call of another line. Hell, doubtless, is a place where you can't get along with a mate and are wholly miserable without the creature. UTTERLY FAGGED OUT! Yes, that is what haDpens to most women who do thei** own washing and ironing. It is drudgery—household slavery— of the worst kind.

( Carolina Negroes ‘ Show More Thrift More than 10,000 persons became shareholders in building un<l loan as sociations in North Carolina during the past year, swelling the total nura : her of shareholders in the associations from 81,474 to 92,007, according to i figures on the North Carolina budd ing and loan associations' being com piled by the Stato Insurance Depart ment. An interesting feature of the in crease in the number of building and loan shareholders is that while the number of white shareholders increas ed only 11.6 per cent, the number of negro shareholders increa-cd by 22.2 per cent. the number of white shareholders increased from 71,201 in 1924 to 79, 1995 while the number of ne gro shareholders increased from 10, 173 to 12',428. A11lu>uk1i tlif combined asset* nn North Carolina building and loan as sociations increased more than ■$ 11, 000,000 to $81,188,540.40 during 1025. • This increase wa^ not as great as tins $14,000,000 increase m 1924, and something of the building stump in North Carolina and the United States is reflected in a decrease in the num ber of homes built and repaired through loans from the association*. Seven thousand, five hundred and thir teen homes were built or repaired through the aid of the building and loan associations during -1925, as against 7.048 during 1921. . The aggregate cost of this build ing and repairing during 1921 'arts $23,863,005.44. but this sum slumped to $17,898,013.20 last year. AT WEBB THEATRE!
