At the Iris.
Reviewing the Price of Malice"
the photodrama at the Iris today and
tonight, Critic Kearney says:
The producers of this picture were
ambitious. Let us have all the action
in the world said they. And SO they
secured a story and put it on, story
which to a large extent fulfilled their
desires and made them entirely
happy. Presumably 1.-The Price of
Malice is made up of wild and amaz-
more pep and dash than in a dozen
reels of ordinary films Who cares
whether the action is impossible
What difference does it make that the
whole plot is founded on the premise
that there is but one cab in the whole
this assumed starting point there
would be no film at ALL but, granting
that, there opens out a picture so en-
tertaining and amusing at all times
that one cares not If all the, cabs, of
the world were abolished34i il by so
doing we could get another as good
story.

Why Spring Brings Out
FreckLes and Eruptions

The sudden appearance OF freckles, slight
eruptions or fine lines at this season is at
tributed by scientists to the ''actinic ray"
which is unusually active during the spring
months. When the skin is so affected by
this influence, if one will procure an ounce
of common mercolized wax at any drug
store apply a little of it before retiring
like cold cream, she can easily overcome
the trouble. When the wax is washed off
next morning, flaky skin particles come
with it, The entire outer cuticle is re-
moved in this way in week or two, with
all its defects. No bleach could so effect
ually remove freckies or blemishes. The
new surface is smooth, clear, fresh looking.
No pain or inconvenience accompanies this
simple treatment.
In case of wrinkles which sink beneath
the outer skin. solution of saxolite 1 o..
dissolved in y pint witch hazel. makes a
face bath which is wonderfully effective

The Iris theater staged a fashion
show Monday night, the clothes on
display being from the stock of the
Pelletier company. The models walked
slowly across the stage, and then
promenaded through the aisles, giving
the audience a good look of the cos
tunes from all sides.
The sport clothes were in high ia
vor with the audience that viewed
them. Jersey cloth in various colors
is popular. One OF the models in
green jersey, with. a green hat, was
we'll liked. The shoes worn with the
suit were white oxfords with tips and
heels of green. A white sport suit
with a rose velour coat was an attrac-
tive outfit.
A copy of a gown worn by Mrs. YER
non Castle was of black net, trimmed
in satin bands and worn with a shawl
of ermine. lined in Dresden silk. A
blue velvet trimming for gown OF
deep cream lace, was stunning. The
effect in the shoulder drapery was of u
ripple cape. Awning-striped Innings
are good this year.

shoes We're all models of the new

tendency toward fancy straws and

Discussing Paper Prices.

Publishers of North Carolina are
meeting today in Greensboro to run
over the paper situation which has late
ly grown exceedingly acute. Paperprices
have advanced from 100 to 200 per cent
over what was paid this time last year
and it is not difficult for the public to
apprehend at once that this means a
serious predicament for the publishers.
The margin or profit and loss with
many newspapers, notably the weeklies
and religious publications as well as
some dailies, is so narrow that many
Of them are facing disaster on account
Of the tremendous rise in price. The
North Carolina publishers are trying to
map out a course of procedure and di-
wise some way to face the exigency
from which no relief is in sight. They
are not only handicapped at present
by an unparalleled rise in the price OF
| the material but another serious OBJ
stacle faces them in being unable tc
contract for supplies in advance. We
have no reason to doubt that the pub
lie will appreciate the position in which
the publishers find themselves and will
heartily yield to whatever action tn,
newspapermen men figure out as neces
sary in the present emergency.-Char

"a Know It Alp

There are but few country towns in
existence but what have some one or
more persons who 'know it all.' That
is, they fondly imagine they know it
all and most people give them credit
for being better posted on everything
and everybody than their neighbors
are.
But are they?
The fellow who is "know it all''
is most generally free talker He
trades information for information, gos-
sip for gossip, and scandal for scan
dal.
Thus it is that he is often able to
impart certain unimportant information
to his associates in ''strictly confiden-
tial manner, giving the impression
that he has been in close touch with
the powers that be.
But when you sift it down he has
simply passed along, with embellish
ments of his own, information that is
more ~or less Of public nature, and
which would have reached the public
/ in the usual routine in few days.
As a matter of fact the know it al
man seldom knows in advance of tn,

LET'S HAVE A TOBACCO MARKET

We have been reading this week
about the opening of the tobacco mar
kets in several eastern North Carolina
towns, and it certainly sounds good to
the ear. Scotland Neck once had to-
baceo market, we are informed, but for
some reason or other, possibly the low
price of the weed, it was allowed to 81
down. But better times are here again.
Prosperity seems to have come to .tay.
The golden weed is three times as valnl-
able today as it was 15 years ago and
the farmer who has good crop this
year is in luck.
The board Of Trade, which, by the
way, is doing much good for this com
munity, will no doubt go about the task
of getting capital interested in once
more establishing a tobacco market
here so that our town may share in the
increased prosperity, which our sister
towns are now enjoying. True there
is not great deal of tobacco grown ia
this immediate vicinity, but since we
have the necessary soil with which to
grow it, all that is lacking is good
place to sell the yellow leaf after it
is made. We believe that if there was
market here, the farmers would grow
it, Our men who are so fortunate as
to have the weed on hand this season
will soon be sending same to Rocky
Mount, Greenville or even Wilson. The
expense of sending it to these points
is an item itself It cost money to
drive team or to use the freights
Other small towns the size Of this one
have markets. We cite Farmville and
Ayden in Pitt county, Robersonville
and Williamson in Martin county
They are enjoying prosperous times

Grinding Other Peoples Axes.

Every newspaper editor appreciates
from his readers-and we re nc excep-
tion to the rule. We're thankful that
there are number Of prominent cltl-
zens in Washington who don It hesitate
TO criticise certain things about the
paper and point out where mistake
has been made-for even editors are
prone to make mistakes. We deeply
appreciate suggestions Of this KIND.
They help us with our work and they
show us where we can make improve
ments and avoid mistakes Of the past.
But there is another type OF sug-
gestion that we do not appreciate, and
that is where we are asked to attack
some individual or some business con-
cern or organization.
For example, Mr.. Smith comes to us
and says that we ought to give MI
Jones "down the country for allow
ing his chickens out on the street
What are we to do? If we carry out
Mr.. Smith s advice, we make an enemy
out of Mr. Jones and incur the dislike
of all his friends, and if we don t write
m the kind of article that Mr.. Smith
wants us to write, he will Immediately
circulate the report that we are sad
" lacking in nerve and are afraid to
express our opinion freely through the
paper. Whatever we do, we re bound
to get in bad.
And suppose we were to request MT
Smith to write us an article for publl
cation on the subject of Mr.. Jones
chickens and sign his name to It.
would Mr. Smith do it? Yes, he would
not! He'd hasten to make answer
that he didn It want to become engaged
in any newspaper scrap But at the
same time, he expects us to become en-
gagged in a scrap, while he himself
stands to one side and watches devel
opments.
It seems to us that when Mr.. Smith
has an ak to grind, he ought to do the
grinding himself-and take the risk OF
cutting himself-instead of putting the
lob up to somebody Washington
