STATE GUARD SOON WILL BE
 REORCANIzED
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES

WASHINGTON March 8.--(Special Correspondence).-Th will soon be a recrudesence of the national guard. Under the army reorganization act a national guard officer is to be chief of the bureau of militia affairs. Since the bureau was established a regu- lar army officer has always headed it. Under the new law the chief here after will be a national guard officer, who must have had at least ten years commissioned experience in the guard.
 It is hoped by friends of the nation al guard that under the new regime, with the bureau in actual charge of national guard officer, the guard will take on new life, and soon be re- organized and recruited up to the strength and military efficiency that | congress and the people wish it to have.
 Certainly with the regular army cut down to only 150,000 rank and file, and universal military training 1 thrown into the discard by congress, the only hope now of an adequate military force for the country lies in the national guard. This is well real | ized in congress though the present war department regime does not seem to realize it.
 Therefore, as soon as the national | guard secures actual control of the militia bureau, we may look for big 1 increase in the number and efficiency of the national guard. The guard at present numbers about 75,000 officers and men, when it should be half a million. Many members of congress and civilian advocates of national defense believe the guard should num- Der at least million men all trained on some system similar to the Swiss method, or some other system where by the guard would become real offensive and defensive force. l It is true that for some years to come, even without a strong national guard and with a regular army of only 150,000 men the country WoQd 1 be safe in event another war occurred because there are now in the United States about 5,000,000 veterans trained in the World war. All of these veterans are young men and for number of years would be able to again flock to the colors and defend the country.
 Another big thing that makes the republic safe in event of another war, for some years, is the fact that the government arsenals and storehouses arc now crammed full of warlike ma terial of all kinds. It is said we have enough small arms ammunition now in storage to last for twenty years war, and all other munitions are stored in proportion.
 The situation therefore is, if an- other war occurs, say within the next ten years, we would have the men and the supplies to quickly raise huge armies again.
 But the veterans of the World war will after time become too old for !

HOUSE OF SECRETS.

II must show you the cellar before
the rest of the house." said Master
Thoughtfulness TO the boy and girl
who had come on adventures and who
had now reached their journeys end
at the House of Secrets.
'The cellar is dark and Damp Mas
ter Thoughtfulness continued, "and we
don't want to stay there long. We
want to see the best last"
They went down some dark stairs,
and there they heard murmurings and
mumbles and curious sounds, flsiting
to get up, ii seemed.
Here" said Master Thoughtfulness
dwell the Things That Aren't True
They're kept down by the Things That
Are True. Here dwell the evil
thoughts and desires and wishes that
are in peoples hearts. They're kept
down by the Things That Are True
above.
AT times they get uppermost, but
not often, for even If the evil thoughts
do come up for time they are quickly
put down. Evil thoughts and mean
desires are always in the cellar i'm the
House OF Secrets"
1t was So dark they could hardly see,
only they heard the mutterings, and
from time 10 time they would hear
a mufiled voice saying:
"Oh, hope she doesn't get the
prize. maybe if | cheat no one will see
me."
And there'd be violent quarrel and
the mufiled voice would slink away.
"Oh, it's good to get upstairs again"
said the girl after they had left the
cellar
From room to room they went. Yes.
lhey surely found out why they had
had the bumps, for without them they
would never nave reached the House
Of Secrets, but would still he going
backwards.
Now they could learn so many, many
secrets.
The great center rooms were filled
With dancers and with music.
There Brownie JOY and his dancers
were. there was Brother Joker and
Mrs. Get -the-AfoSt Out-of-Life was
often tor be found wandering through
these rooms.
You see," she told the boy and
girl, you had lots Of signposts along
the way in the people you met, as you
can see now.
And also many Of those bad crea-
lures like Doubt and Intolerance and
the little Gnome who couldn't grow
were sign-posts Of what TO turn your
backs upon !"
Master Thoughtfulness introduced
them 10 many new friends In the diff
ferent rooms. How coy and bright
The Belding banner-news., 1921-07-06

and CHEEKY the rooms were. Anyone
at once could feel at home in them
They weren't big and stiff and cold
and formal, but they were just like
rooms to be found In the home OF a
very nice person-where one could set
tie down and have such q good quiet
read or chat, or where one could find
gayety, too, and laughter, and music
and dancing.
1t seemed as If there were every
thing in the House OF Secrets, and
the house wasn't so terrifically large
1T was big and Ii had enough stair
ways and rooms so one could play
hide-and-go-seek when one was through
exploring and meeting friends-but it
wasn't like castle where one would
have TO be thinking of how dignified
one must be all the time.
And the great secret of all they
learned was the secret of real broth
crhood. Every secret was almostAike
q part of the big secret, or like a by
path which leads 10 the main road.
How happy every one was In the
House Of Secrets. How happy every
one was not always quarrellng TO be
the chief and most important one.
And the boy and the girl learned
that real leadership was caring for
people and not trying to boss them.
"Our adventures have been wonder
full" said the boy.
II will never forget this trip as
long as live" the girl replied.
Never, never indeed" the boy an
swered, and Master Thoughtfulness
smiled with pleasure and happiness.

Why Advertising Pays
II people did not move away and
some die
If new generations did not grow
up
If competitors did not compete
If people were not receptive to
new ideas
Then
And only then
Would there be no need for ad-
vertising.
Because of changing business
conditions
Fluctuations in wages
And the natural aggressiveness
and progressiveness of the
normal man
He is your prospective buyer to-
day who could not use or af-
ford your product yesterday.
These were the reasons point
ed out recently by well known
sales manager of a large corp
oration on why it is imperative
that advertising be CONSIST
ENT AND REGULAR. - Ex-

Send Them To Bed With a Kiss
O, mothers, so weary, discouraged,
Worn out with the cares of the day,
You often grow cross and impatient,
Complain Of he noise and the play;
For the day brings so many vexations
So many things going .amiss;
But, mothers, whatever may vex you,
Send the children to bed with kiss
The little feet wander often
Perhaps from the pattern Of right,
The dear little hands find new mis-
chief
To try you from morning till night;
But think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your
bliss,
And, as thanks for your infinite
blessings,
Send the children to bed with kiss
For some day their noise will not vex
you,
The silence will hurt you far more,
You will long for the sweet children's
voices,
For a sweet, childish face at the
door;
And to press a child's face to your
BOSOM,
You'd give all the world for just
this;
For the comfort twill bring you in
sorrow,
Send the children to bed with kiss

SAM BROWNS HATRED
OF ADkERTISING G

Sam Brown hated advertising. He
dispised the circular that was placed
on his desk and he disliked the ads
in the street cars. He detested the
newspapers that shrieked, Bargains
today, and he wished all advertising
houses, advertisers and advertising
solicitors were in Hades. Sam Brown
was an ordinary man, but he was OBJ
stinate. He abhorred publicity and
he knew it. But one night he saw a
great light. He had a dream. AM
this is what he dreamed.
That he awoke one morning in a
world that was free from advertising.
He went to the grocer to purchase
some breakfast food for his vii
All the grocer's goods were put u
plain packages. Sam looked around.
Couldn't remember the name of the
stuff, took the first thing handed him
and got the deuce from his wife. Out
in the streets the cars shot by, with
no names on them. Sam took a
chance, boarded the wrong one. Got
off at the wrong street, because the
conductor did not shout out the street
names.
In his office building he enters
manicure shop instead of his own
place. There were no signs on the
doors. He had to walk from the
second to the tenth floor. as 1T was
against the rules of the elevator boy
to call floors.
At his desk he fumed. Where was
the mail man? Oh! There was only
one mail a day, as the mail was very
light, since advertising was prohibit
ed. Where's the phone book? Not
allowed, it's advertising. Bring IN
that letter from Smith & Co. The
poor stenographer could not find it.
There were no names on any OF the
letter heads.
Sam Brown started to kick. No
advertising? How could he tell what
show was in town? How could he
pick out his favorite brand of cigars
without the bands on them?
Nevertheless Sam thought he could
read his newspaper and find out
what was going on and he reached
out his hand for it but it was gone.
The Anti Advertising Society of
which Sam was a charter member,
had carried things and there were to
be no more newspapers.
And where was his little cigar cut
ter? Sam started TO figure it out.
Where was that little silver pencil
the jeweler presented to him? 1t
was a little souvenir when he made
some purchase Gone too. All those
little desk blotters, match stands, pin
trays and rulers, those useful gifts
from his bushes friends had been
prohibited by the Non-AdiSociety
What day was it? No calendar? Of
course not, that was advertising
That was too much; it infringed on
Sans personal affairs. Sam thought
may be there was some good in ad-
vertising. Perhaps he was wrong
and the rest of the world was right.
Those little gifts that he treasured
so were gone He had never thought
of those as advertising. They always
come under the head of gifts from
appreciative folks to whom he had
always given his business. It's a
shame! There ought to be law
against the law against advertising.
Something ought to be done.
He at once determined to adver-
tise his business and forthwith
sought out the local newspaperman
to assist him in the matter There
is no need of going to sleep and
dreaming as Sam Brown did. but
come in and see US about 1t or call US
on the phone and we will help you
with our service.

sons voyage In his little boat,
the Half Moon, up the river
which now bears his name. For
at that early date an Italian
navigator, Verrazano, exploring
for France, sailed into New
York bay. This first visit to
New York made little stir and
was soon forgotten, and Ii was
Hudson's rediscovery whic h
tempted the Dutch to send over
colonists and obtain for the
Dutch West India company a
monopoly of the Dutch fur trade
In America. The new colony
which was started In 1923 called
its territory New Netherlands,
after its mother country, and
their principal city New Amster-
dam. 1t is interesting to reflect
that Manhattan island, which Is
now New York city, was pur-
chased from the Indians for S24
worth of beads and ribbons.
Even In it's earliest days the set
tlement on Manhattan Island
was cosmopolitan. In 1913 1t is
reported that eighteen different
languages were spoken there.
In 1864 the English captured
New Netherlands, and King
Charles III presented the colony
TO his brother, the duke Of York,
who was later King James III,
and its name was then changed
to New York.
New York played leading
part in the formation of the
United States. 1t was Alexan-
der Hamilton who was New
Hork's representative in framing
the Constitution and ii was New
York city which was selected as
the first capital of the new
Union, where Washington was
inaugurated the first president.
Ever since the Empire state, as
New York is sometimes called,
has held the deciding voice in
presidential elections. Though
its size is only 49,204 square
miles, not quite half way in the
list of states according to area,
its great population gives New
York forty-five presidential cleo
tors, the largest number Of any
of the states.

settlement. 1t was In 1884 that
Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth TO plant
an English colony In America.
and the expeditions which he
sent established little colony
on Roanoke island. There in
1887 was born the first Ameri-
can child of English parents.
She was named Virginia Dare,
after the virgin queen. This col
ony, due to England's war with
Spain, could not be properly sup
ported. and after a few years
perished. 1t was not until over
n century later that permanent
settlements were made. Daring
pioneers from Virginia pressed
south into the new territory, and
these, augmented by a large
company of Huguenots from
France and a greater number of
Germans from the Palatinate,
founded the first North Carolina
town Of Newburn in 1710. BY
the time of the Revolution the
population in North Carolina
had increased to such an extent,
with an influx of Scotch-Irish
and Scotch Highlanders who
settled chiefly in the western
counties, that IL ranked fourth
among the original thirteen col
onies. Today its population en-
titles 1t to twelve electoral votes
for president. In area IL stands
about half way among the states
with 2,426 square miles. North
Carolina was the twelfth state
to adopt the Constitution, the
formal ratification taking place
in November, 1889. The deriva-
tion of the name Carolina, as in
the case Of South Carolina, came
from the Latin Carolus, mean
ing Charles, and was given orig
inally in honor Of King Charles
TX Of France and retained by
King Charles III of England.
North Carolina is also known
as the Old North state.

SEEKS APPOINTMENT
FOR HAMPTON ROADS
Congressman Slcmp Anxious
TO Have Commissioner of
Immigration at Norfolk.

NORFOLK. VA. Aug. Ii.-Norfoll,
stands good chance OF having a
commissioner Of Immigration appoint
ed for this port. according to G..
Hascom Slcmp. NirginIa's only Re-
publican Congressman, who was in
the city yesterday. Mr.. Slcmp said
he had presented the proposition to
President Harding. and that the
President had indicated he would
make the appointment. Baltimore,
Philadelphia. New York. Boston, San
Francisco and New Orleans are the
only ports which now have such an
officer.
II am very anxious to have such
a station established here" Congress
man Sicmp declared. 1t would be
far better to have immigration here
for distribution through the agricul-
tural districts than to dump all the
Immigrants into New York, where
they join the already enormous army
OF unemployed"
Mr.. Slemp declined to say who
would. probably be given the position
here
