IMPROVEMENTS ON NORTH CAR0IIA
FARMS As COMPARED With TnE
Value OF The CROP YIELDS.

According to Mr.. JIM. johnson,
Of the North Carolina Experiment
Station, the Improvements on the
farms of North Carolina during the
period from 1900 to 1910 was sew
en- per cent annually of the value
of the crops produced during the
year.
According to the census of 1910"
says Mr.. johnson, the value of
of the crops grown in North Caro-
lima during the previous year
amounted to $152,89O, 1852. The
increase in farm buildings, equip
ment, and live stock on the farms
was $102, 672,412. This amount is
70 percent of the value of the one
years crop as given above, and if
we distribute this per cent increase
in value over the ten year period,
it seems that the far mer has been
able to put at least Z per cent of
of the value of his crops into better
equipment, more and better live
stock, and improved farm buildings
Putting this money into these
improvements is equivalent to
making that much profit above his
living expense Not only has the
farmer; bettered himself by improv-
ing his farm, but his land has in
creased in value in the same
length Of time about 142.5 per cent
or $202,209, los so he has the value
of this unearned increment in ad-
dition to the other profit. The 9th
er profit of 7 per cent is not on
total capitalization of his farm
either but is on his annual earning i:

SLEEPING PORCHES and

Have you noticed how many
sleeping porches are being con-
structed in the city of Raleigh"
asked an observing visitor in the
city recently. Its the same way
all over the country and I'm glad to
see it, he said. 1T is wonderful to
note how the attitude has changed
in the last year or two regarding
sleeping porches, fresh air sleeping,
and might add open air schools.
: Why, no longer than two years
ago. the sight of a sleeping porch in
connection with any home was re.
earded as an open sign of tubercul-
osis in that, home but today it
means a different thing. 1t means
that that family ideas of health

and efficiency are not the old kind.
They believe that the best conser-
walton of health is the prevention
of disease. and it's my opinion that
dollar for dollar, the sleeping porch
is the best health investment that
a home can have. If it is second to
any it is the bath room, but even
then it has the advantage of being
built and maintained much cheap
er than a bath room.
Its fact" said he, that in a
few years a house will be consider
cred more complete without a bath
room than without its fresh air
arrangements. And the same refor-
nation that is rapidly taking place
in the homes as to fresh air apart
ments will soon be seen in all the
schools. All anaemic and abnor-

you Can IF you WILL.

Would you increase the value of
your town property if you could?
It's easy to do and worth doing.
Get busy on it; clean it up; re-
pair and paint up; grade your
grounds. if they need it; keep your
walks in good condition and add
new ones where required: cut the
weeds and keep them down, both
on adjacent to your property; don't
throw trash in the street or the
back yard; keep up your fences, if
you have them; grow plenty of
flowers and neat shrubery, and
make it a place of beauty.
Then 60 around and -brag like the
dickens to your neighbor about
your place, and keep on Dragging
until you make him jealous of it's
beauties and he goes to work and
does the same with his.
Then let him in on the secret and
start him out to rubbing it into his
neighbors, aud see that he keeps it
"p until they, too, become tired of
the contrast and the Dragging and
get busy on their own property
with a determination to Guido the
rest of you.
And in time the whole town will
become jealous of the property of
each other and every fellow will be
whoopine it up to see who can have
the most attractive place.
Then the travelling public will
come along and take notice, and 90
away and talk about the beauties
of our town and the thriftiness of
our people, and other people will
want to come and live in such a
fine community.
And isn't it easy to see that your
property then will be worth nearly
double what it is today?

THE WATERS FINE"

come on H., the waters fine" is
literally true in every sense OF the
word these days. Nothing so re-
lleves the situation in hot weather
as a nice cool bath or a SWIM It

long suffering baby bundled up in
TWO many clothes to the, stout

on intimate terms with the swim

heard Of any boys being injured by
going swimming, whenever they
want to and for about as long as
they want to? 1t is one of the
finest and best exercises known.
No small boy is everything to take
a bath but show us one that won't

a chance.
Furthermore; to know how to
swim is an important part of any
education these days. Yale re-
quires that every graduate be able
to swim 800 yards before receiving
his diploma. If every boy told the
truth and obeyed his mother. how
many men would know how to
swim?
The most precautions about
swimming are to learn how to
swim by the assistance or in the
presence of some other good SWIM
mer, to avoid swimming in filthy
water, containing sewage pollution.

filthy water is liable to be swallow

War Does Not Stop

ana giving in marriage at almost their

marriage licenses issued was Lei. which
was only 1l2 less than for December. 1919.
The number OF babies born In December
was about the same as for the previous
year.
on the other hand the deaths numbered
BOG more than in December. 1918. which
was probably due to the mortality in the
numerous military hospitals located here.
Traffic in the street cars shows only
moderate reduction. At the savings banks
a still more satisfactory showing is
made Deposits amounted TO 81, 10000,
which exceeded those OF December. 1918,

Talks on Newspaper Advertising"
By TRUMAN A. DewEEsE, Buffalo, N. Y.

Why not apply this plan of
advertising to every city
where this manufacturer
has a distribution7 The
usual objection to newspa-
per advertising by manufac-
turers of high-priced com
modities is that the percent
age of possible purchasers
reached is too small to JUS
tify the expense. The logic
is all wrong for many rea-
sons, one of the reasons be
ing that the profit on an au-
tomobile will justify the eX-
penditure of a large sum to
reach fewer possible pur-
chasers. The same principle
applies to all advertising
matter. The manufacturer
of automobiles, pianos and
talking machines can afford
to distribute a much more
elaborate booklet than can
the manufactures of a break
fast food. The manufacture
er of a ten or fifteen-cent
commodity must content
himself with two-page and
four-page leaflets instead of
booklets, and even these
must be reduced to the mini
mum of cost.
All this is intended to
clearly emphasize. the fact
that the manufacturer re-
ferred to at the beginning of

Advertising that

In a certain city is a man
ufacturer who makes a high
priced automobile which has
attained a great vogue
among people of high pur-
chasing power through what
advertisers call "atmos-
pheric" advertising in ma
tional mediums. By "atmos-
pheric" advertising is meant
the kind of publicity that
confines itself to color and
impressionistic s k e t c h 9 s
and which gives no technical
information about the car.
And yet | notice that when
ever this manufactures
wants to dispose of a bunch
of made-over models Gust as
good as the day they left the
factory, he uses the news
papers quite vigorously UNI
ill they are sold. What
greater tribute could he pay
to the propelling, pulling
power of newspaper adver-
Using.

tomobile is made has a popu-
lation Of nearly five hundred

cal, effective, sensible plan
for advertising SUCH a COM
