BENNO, THE BAKERY MAN
LEAVES FOR PARTS UN-
KNOWN

High Point is without a bakery
because the proprietor of the only
one In the city has silently and sure
5ly made his departure for a point

EEbe, ralher a Frenehy name but
S0 cl aimed 70. be a German came
to our fair city and hsk l1ehefp al
his frau (wife) set up an establish
ment, on North Main street. He
was an expert baker and had a fine
trade from the beginning. What he
couldn't bake wasn't worth baking.
The business grew by leaps and
bounds and he hired help. Every
body thought he had mint. AS
the price of flour went up the size of
the loaf got smaller but the people
understood and bought literally.
He just couldn't make enough. But
said he / am going to spread out in
1917-he must have meant to some
other country for he surely did
spread OUT He and his wife at
tended church and Sunday school
and the wife belonged to the socities
of the church. They were in good
and people 10 general gave them the
O. k. And before they left they
got in good" to the chagrin of many
High Pointers.
Up to about Nov. 1st Benno seems
to have paid his bills pretty regular
ly. But November and December
were the big months and it took lots
( of stuff and he got it. Some $5OO.OO
worth of -four was used and about
half of it purchased here and all OF
which he owed for at the time OF
departure. Then there was two
months rent $50. and several other
necessary bills but all would be

New Year began.
Two days before they left his wife
with tears in her eyes went to the
bank and drew out every cent on
deposit, several hundred dollars, say
ine that relative was in trouble
and that they were going to give re-
lief. The same day a nice account
was cOOtTaCtOu dC OuC VI tnC OIOAOS
for handsome furs, another bill fol

jewelry store Saturday night about
eleven O clock and purchased jewelry
to the amount of $4,000, giving his
his check for SIS 90 and saying he
would pay the balance the following
Wednesday (of course the check
was no eood)-that was Saturday
night before Christmas and Bennc
and his frau left on the next morn
ine's train, presumably for Greens

expectation of sailing for Germany

We Don't Claim to Have the
Best Advertising Medium
in the World, and then
Some, Bnt=== ,.

WE DO CLAIM
to have circulation pretty well dis
tribnted for local and community
service of real value to the adver-
tiser
All newspaper advertising is good
and there are very few papers in
deed Which do not give more than
value for the money expended. A
800 900 a year business cannot be
maintained on $1,000 worth of adj
vertising but if a proper per cent
(say three to five) is set aside for
advertising it will prove a wonder.
Suppose you try the plan. We will
help you.

March

In March the climate has gone
crazy; one day is sweet and calm
and hazy, like something swlped
from Indian summer; the next
day is an old time hummer, with
howling wind which SO intense IS,
it blows you through some barbed-
wire fences. A storm of hail
comes down and pelts you, and
then the tropic sunshine melts
YOU, and while a sudden deluge
browns YOU, a streak OF lightning
comes and downs YOU. No man
can say just what the weather
will be for two short hours to-
gether. We're sunstruck when at
noon we're roaming, and we are
freezing in the cleaning. Oh,
March is fair and false and tickle,
and puts all mankind in a pickle,
and vet we take her tantrums
grinning, all pleased that she en-
joys her inning. The grim old
winters gallivanting; that is the
moral of her ranting. Some final
fits this month is throwing, to
celebrate old winters going, and
spring is smiling at the portal,
and brings balm to every mortal.
And so we say, ooh, March, go
to it! You're chanting winters
dirge, beshrew it!'
