To Husband and Wife

Preserve sacredly the privacies of
your own house, your married state
and your heart. Let 90 father or
mother or sister or brother ever pre-
sumo to come between you or share
he joys or sorrows that belong to you
two alone.
With mutual help build your quiet
world, not allowing your dearest
earthly friend to be the eonfdant of
aught that concerns your domestic
peace. Let moments Of alienation, If
hey occur, be healed at once. Never,
no never, speak of II outside: but 70
each other confess and all will come
out right. Never let the morrow's
sun still find you at variance. Re-
new and renew your vow. II viii do
you good; and thereby your minds
wa grow together contented in that
love which is stronger than death. and
ycu will be truly one.a-AnUnynfous.

LESS UNEMPLOYMENT
IN NORTH CAROLINA
Federal Agent Says This State Is
Better on Than Is Amy Other
Section of the Country

That there is less unemployment
in North Carolina than in any other
section of the country and that the
recovery this spring will be quicker
in this state than in other see
tions was the opinion Of Francis l.
Jones, federal director of employment
bureaus for the nation, who has been
visiting the North Carolina office. Mr..
Jones stopped off in North Carolina TO
confer with NJ. L. Shipman, who con
ducts the state employment bureau at
Raleigh. He has been in Columbia,
where he held conference with Gov
ernor Cooper regarding the establish
ment of system of employment bu-
reaus in that state. South Carolina
needs the employment: bureaus in the
opinion of Mr.. Jones. and while there
are no state appropriations Tor the
work, il will be started on a small
scale with the hope that II will de-
velop.
Mr.. Jones was optimistic over the
general situation all over the country.
The reports reaching Washington
from the employment bureau, field
agents and chambers of commerce
indicate that there is a gradual I'M
proyement in the unemployed sltua-
ton. which will approach normaley
in the spring when business opens up.
But the recovery in o-her sections OF
the country is not expected to come
as rapidly as il will come in North
Carolina. There are number OF
reasons for this predict on of the gen
eral director. In the first place there
is less unemployment in North Caro-
lima than in many other states. In
the second place the ate itself has
IN q building program that is offering
work TO a large percentage OF the
people now and with the opening of
spr:ng this worl, win be increased to
A point where there will be a demand
ecr all Of the labor that can be Sc
cured.
The months reports from over
200 cotton mills in North Carolina
shows slight increase in the number
Of people employed last month, Mr..
Jones pointed out. There is an in
crease in the number Of people work
ing in lumber mills, fertilizer plants
and other industries, as compared
with month ago. All of these plants |
will add more help in the spring, the
reports indicated.
This prediction of the general d.
rector Of employment bureau regard
ing the situation in North Carolina |
happens to be exactly in line with |
that of one of the biggest engineer
ing firms in the state, which expects
actual labor shortage in North Caro-
lima after March |. The shortage /
could and would Immediately be taken
care of by the importation Of labor
from the outside, for there has been
a constant influx of people into the
state during the past few months.
This increased demand for labor will |
come from the big building program
Under way by the state and state in
stitutions, which will call for COM
mon labor and labor skilled in all of
he building trade. In addition to the
public building programs many cities |
and towns have plans under way Tor
new sewerage systems, bigger water
plants and other municipal improve |
ments which will cali for much labor.

Eben Rexford's Discharge

1t was Convention Day for the G.
A. K. in the state of-(well say South
Dakota). Eben Rexford was promi-
nent candidate for State Commander,
bat his opponents had whispered
around that Eben had no discharge
to show. There must be something
crooked in his record.
On the day of the election, Eben
arose in his place and addressed the
chair as follows:
"Mr. Chairman, Ii has been stated
that | have no discharge, and as my
name has been mentioned for Com
mander, wish to make an explana-
ton. 1t is true that | have no dis
charge.

back in New Hampshire, my older
brother Samuel happened to be in the
village that evening, and enlisted.
When he got home, out on the farm
a few miles, he told father and moth
er, and the matter was talked over.
Samuel was the support of the family,
father and mother being aged people,
and as he understood the farm work
better than did, being only sixteen
years old at that time, it was decided
that Samuel should stay at home and
| should go in his place. went. and
answered to his name at every roll
call all through the war. No, Mr..
Chairman, | have no discharge, but
Samuel has one"
Eben sat down, the tears rolling
down his cheeks, and there was not u

Give Them the Flowers Now
Closed eyes can't see the white roses
Cold hands can't hold them. you know
Breath that is stilled cannot gather
The odors that sweet from them blow
Death, with a peace beyond dreaming,
It's children Of earth doth endow;
Life is the time we can help them,
So give them the flowers now!
Here are the struggles and striving,
Here are the cares and the tears;
Now IS the time to be smoothing
The frowns and the burrows and fears.
What to closed eyes are kind sayings !!
What to hushed heart is deep vow :?
Naugh can avail after parting,
So give them he flowers now.
Just a kind word or n greeting;
Just a warm grasp or a smile =
There are the flowers that will tighten
The burdens for many a mile.
After the journey is over
What is the use of them; how
Can they carry them who must be
carried?
Oh, give them the flowers now.
Blooms from the happy hearts garden
Plucked in the spirit of love;
Blooms that are earthly reflections
of flowers that blossom above.
Words cannot tell what measure
OF blessing such gifts will allow
To dwell in the lives of many,
SO give them the flowers now,

modern dealer is he who almost con-

have learned that with an average OF

as important as sales. As one dealer

make more sales from my back door
than | do from my 'front.'.
With all this money needed to be
an automobile dealer, selling is rapidly
concentrating itself in the hands of
the most stable and financially re-
sponsible merchants. Last year it
was estimated that probably 1000 au-
tomobile dealers, representing about
two per cent. of the total number of
dealers did approximately sixty-seven
per cent. of the total automobile SELL
ing. These 900 men scattered thru
out the United States are as well
known in their own localities as Hen

nationally. Last year gave emphatic
confederation to the statement that
there is difference between the au-
tomobile merchant and an automobile
dealer.
"The fair weather sailor has almost
entirely disappeared from this portion
of the country writes S. V. w.
Peters of Portland, Ore, Packard
Nash dealer there. "It will be only
a short time before the solidly fin
anced, highly organized merchant will
be left in business here
"The modern dealer must have
strong financial rating, extensive ser
vice facilities and consider the Gus
toner as the man who must be
pleased writes w. B. Sawyer of Bos-
ton, of the Oakland Motor Co. of New
England, "Make every word to your
customer your solemn pledge" says
Frank R. Tate of st. Louis, Dodge
Brothers dealer there. A Satisfied

finest citizens and his business is con-
Quoted on such plane that he always

emphasize that the romance has gone
and the place has been filed by the
shrewd business man. Capital, credit,

Gated the motor car owner to the i'm
portance of buying from the right
