BRADSTREET'S Commercial
Agency recently made the state
ment that "a per cent of the bust
ness failures during 1920 were
firms that did not advertise. This
would show rather conclusively'
that it pays to advertise"
During the big boom it became
a common phrase withmany mer-
chants to say Whats the use
to advertise? We have more
business now than we can
handle" But now the same mer-
chants are dolefully saying
Business is so bad that we can
not afford to advertise" And

counted upon to be in the "a per

When a fellow looks at his
liberty bonds he feels inclined to
cuss. He remembers how they
have deprecated in value when
he was urged to buy with the eX-
pectation that they would soon
be above par. But if you have
any of them don't sacrifice them
at present rates. The present
high rates Of interest will not
last, and as the interest rates de-
cline the value of the bonds will
increase. Then it is quite with.
in the bounds of possibility that
congress will take some action
towards restoring their market
value to par by federal Legislation
if necessary. A little patience
and you may yet come out whole
on the deal.

Most men either have an auto
mobile or wish they had one.
But the automobile is rapidly de-
priving the people of the daily
exercise they require to keep
their bodies in fit condition. The
owner Of a car spends most of
his time in his machine-that is,
his spare time-and while he is
thus skinlming over the country
he is dcpriving his body of that
exercise which the law of human
nature demands. The car is a
modern necessity, and everyone
who can afford it should own one
but not at the expense of health.
Take your daily exercise before
your drive. You will be able to
live longer and drive oftener.

Many people IRE often amazed
at the shortness cfw0men's dress
es. Many seem to consider 1t
indicate, even vulgar. In
reality, however, those short
dresses are exceedingly more
sanitary, vastly more so than the
long sweeping ones our mothers
used to wear. 1t is the state of
the mind and not the length of a
dress that breeds vulgarity. Free
dom of movement means better
health and greater strength and
vitality, and without these hui
mainly would soon cease to be.

Mr.. Editor
Will you give me space to speak
word in behalf of DR.. Edwards,
the colored faith doctor. He is here
in Rockingham preaching the gospel
and healing the sick. Men and wo-
men who were unable to walk have
been sent away walking and prais-
ing the Lord.
He has large crowds in attendance
uL ~ him, both white and black
He is doing much good for both
races. If he is not benef1ting the
people, it is the peoples own fault
because they certainly say they are
being helped. l saw one man who
could scarcely walk; he went to DR.
Edwards and when he was worked
upon twice the man came away
walking as nimbly as man thai
had never had any trouble.
Let's give credit to whom credit
is due. The faith doctor is stopping
at Morgan Hooper's house, in Rock
ingham, and can be reached on

The net cost Of the World War
to the United States was S24,0l0,
100000, or, including our loans to
foreign governments, which have
not been repaid, S33,455, 100000.
The cost of running the National
Government now is around five
billion dollars annually.
Folks speak Of billions" now
adays without the least knowing
what is Z billion. Because of the
immersity of the word, no doubt
Post-Dispatch readers pass it by
with a shrug. But let's bring the
meaning of the word closer down
to our Richmond county readers.
1t is now about 1920 years since
the birth of Christ. From the
beginning Of the Year One to
January 1st, 1921, there elapsed
about 70l, 267 days, or, to reduce
it further, 16,630,408 hours, which
being reduced again means J, 900,
824,480 minutes. Now suppose
that with the PERMISSION of the
Roman authorities Uncle Sam
established a disbursing officer
at Jerusalem on the first day of
the Year One with instructions
to pay out $500 a minute day
and night, Sunday and holidays
included, right down through the
centuries to the present time.
Had he done this he would have
paid out $5,049, 122,40O and this
amount would lack $636,883,306
of the total that our Government
cost to operate during the year
1920. And so paying out SIS. a
minute for more than 1900 years
would not have kept pace with
the cost of upkeep of this Govern
ment for just one year.
Suppose this imaginary spend
ser had paid out $23, a minute
,throug all these centuries. He
would have not finished, on Jan.
], 1921, paying for our share OF
the cost of che World War by
some 784,036,96O. He would
have that much left over after
paying out nearly forty cents
every second the clock licked for
more than nineteen centuries
without being able to discharge
our share of the World War cost.
Does this give you some idea
of what billions mean? Get
your pencils and verify the above
figures. It will enable your brain
to function right speedily. But
don't suppose for ssrnonlent that

If

Ii Richmond county reduces
cotton acreage one-half or if the
weevil reduces the future yield
so per cent, how are we to re-
place the $4,000 decreased in
come from that source?
If our 5000 farmers would each
own one purebred Jersey cow,
one Duroc-Jersey sow and one
Angus cow or any old cow bred
to a purebred Angus sire, we
should have the following in.
come even at the ridiculously
low prices here estimated:
5000 Jersey calves, 10 months
old at $25, $4,000.
5000 baby beeves, 10 months
old, 100000 It's. at Sc, $4,000.
$4,000 Duroc hogs, 100000
lbs. at SC, S360,000.
Total increase annually, $50,
900.
THAT IS NOT ALL
If the abandoned cotton acreage
be planted to corn and velvet
beans, the yields of feed would
not only show a profit, but after
feeding the animals and paying
fertilizer and labor expenses
would deposit in our Bank Of
Soil Ability and Soil Fertility
approximately $500,0O0 annually
the best and safest deposit
under the sun. In fact, the only
deposit that will long sustain
cash deposit that will long sus

your lands grow fertile.
NOW is the time to buy GU
foundation stock if we expec

precedented conditions in the schools,
as revealed by the survey of non-par-
tisan women's clubs, Hearst forces or
ganized a League to Protect the
Schools" What the league" has done
is not apparent. 1t has slipped out of
existence. just as did the $4,000
which Mayor Hylan Topped off the
budget of the Board of Education last
year SO that other departments might
receive an increased share of city
funds.
During the last term the morale of
the city's $4,000 teachers was seriously
undermined as result of heavy and
impossible burdens imposed upon them
and conditions under which they were
compelled to work.
Conditions under which they ap-
proach their work this coming term
are worse, and the possibility of a
complete breakdown of the teaching
staff looms large. This condition is
not restricted to the elementary
schools, but exists also in the high
schools.
There are more than 100000 school
children in the city who will be unable
to receive full-time instruction be-
cause school facilities are inadequate,
according to the experts, and the con-
ditions will become worse each day as
the school term rrocee0s
