Some towns, like some folks, strug-
gle through hectic existence suffer
ing with a malignant malady which
might be termed an inferiority COM
plex.
There is no excuse for this malady.
1t is caused by lack of community
spirit, a failure to appreciate the basic
principles Of citizenship.
If we should be called upon to pass
on mans status as a citizen of Po-
eahontas, we would first ascertain his
demeanor while listening to an out
slider belittle our town.
There is no better evidence of a
commendable community spirit than
that of loyalty to ones home town. If
Pocahontas is worth living in, it is
worth defending and supporting in its
efforts to advance with the rest of the
world.
If man or woman smiles sheep
ishly and weakly agrees when some
one makes a nasty dig against Poca-
hontas, it shows a disgraceful lack Of
civic pride and goes a long way to
lower an outsiders opinion of the town.
If you don't care enough about this
town to fight for it you are no better
than the Stacker who would not fight
for his country in II and Is.
OF course Pocahontas has her fail
ings, just the same as any other town,
but the town is not to blame. It's the
people.
If you hear some bird knocking onr
schools-and if you know he's in the
right-boost our streets And is he's
knocking our streets. put in a good
word for our schools. That's civic
pride.

cHILDRENs FATAL DISEASE

Worms and parasites in the intes-
tines Of children undermine health and
so weaken their vitality that they are
unable to resist the diseases so fatal
to child life. The safe course is to
give few doses of Whites Cream

worms without the slightest injury to
the health Of activity Of the child.

If human nature were not what it
Is, the Christmas season might not be
one of rush and worry over what to
buy, and sales forces in stores would
not be rushed to exhaustion in the two
or three weeks before the event. If
people did their shopping when it could
be done under the least congested con
ditions, it might extend over months
instead of weeks, and it would be not
less seasonable.
However, none but the exceptional
person thinks of doing shopping until
it cannot be put off longer. Then it
becomes an ordeal and is so strenuous
that it tends to rob the season of the
"cheer and good will" that attach to
it sentimentally. The good will'
might actually pervade the shoppers
were they not overworked trying to
find what they want and struggling
to get it. Yet it would not be Christ
mas for a lot of people were it other
wise. They have become so accustom-
ed to waiting and then making hurry
up job of it that they would not feel
right were il done betimes.
Human nature is peculiar thing
despite the fact that all of us have it.
1t wouldn't be human nature if it
wasn't odd. If we did everything in a
reasonable and sane way we would not
be human beings. We would be super
human and that is too much TO expect
1t is the prerogative of human beings
to do as they please and Of course
most of us please to delay as long as
we can the doing of what we cannot
avoid. There may be those who are
forehanded in Christmas shopping but
they are rare and so different from the
mass that they are odd, too.
Old-timers caught in the holiday

get his money back, several-fold, when
the bill becomes law.
Certain it is that no man in Ran
dolph county will profit if the bill gets
through. AS pointed out through these
columns few weeks ago, Randolph
county will lose $4,000 of highway
funds each year the Loughborough
plan is in operation. In fourteen years
that would amount to more than a
half million dollars. That half mill
lion alone would almost take care of
all our county roads and it would not
be necessary to use the half million
we will get during the next fourteen
years under the Harrelson Act.
We would be glad to see the heavily
bonded counties emerge from their
slough of debt, but we just can't see
the justice of taking tax money from
our county to provide the necessary
relief for other counties.

Persons who have not given the sub
jeet of advertising serious thought
may be inclined to believe that stan
dard products could be sold cheaper if
the manufacturers did not spend so
much money in advertising them. The
contrary is the truth.
Every concern which seeks general
market for its goods finds it necessary
to set aside a certain sum each year
for advertising, and this is charged as
a part of the operating expenses, the
same as rent, fuel or insurance. The
aim of the advertising manager is to
buy the largest possible circulation
among persons who would be interest
ed in his product.
Every manufacturer has certain fix
ed charges which must be paid out of
the receipts from the business, and the
larger the volume of business that can
be created the less per article is charg-
ed for the payment of overhead COSTS
This volume Of business is obtained
only by creating a demand for the
goods. and It is most quickly and
cheaply done by direct appeal through
the newspapers.
The same principle which obtains
in the case of the general advertiser
could be applied in the business of the
smallest merchant. The quicker the
turnover which a dealer is able to
make the sooner his profit is obtained
and the cash is put in the till for new

Wins Contest at Washington

VINES STAFF PHOTO

Rose Marie Longley, 1917 T street
southeast. Anacostia, has won the
distinction of being the champion
bean counter i'm the world.
Officials of the National Pressure
Cooker Company announced today
that Miss Longley came within
eight beans of guessing the exact
number in the seven-quart cooker
exhibited at the recent food exhibit
held by The Washington Times at
the washington Auditorium.
There were 1908 beans in the
cooker and Miss Longley guessed
1900. There were six others who
each guessed $4,000 exactly, only
ten away from winning.
It is announced that two years
ago in a ten-quart cooker the
nearest to the winner was 1000
beans off and Miss Longley's feat
is considered exceptional.
Miss Longley will be invited to
visit the Washington office of the
company at 900 Nineteenth street

Sees Great Changes.
There has been quite a change
during the period 1900 to 1926" said
Mr.. Ffrestone, at the New willard.
I'VE have seen a great change in the
methods and means OF transporta-
ton. believe the change has af-
fected the lives Of every man, woman
and child to an extent that few other
developments have.
And moving along with the
steady advance in transportation our
company has moved. I look back
with pride over the twenty-five years
that have passed--frona the time
the F1restone Company started with
q dozen persons on the payroll up to
The present with about $4,000 on the
payroll.
ITS big jump from twenty-five
tires a day to 1000 a. day, and we
are now making plans TO increase
our capacity to $4,000 tires daily.
Today. we are making about $1,000
tubes and we are installing equip
ment to increase this capacity to
46 900.
"The year 1925 looks very bright
for US and for the entire rubber In
dustry. Last year was a busy year.
OF course we had unusual price fluc-
tuations, caused largely by the
British rubber restrictions act, reduc-
ing the expectation OF rubber August

per cent, and again November from
SIS per cent to so per cent, forcing
the price of crude rubber to advance
from IL cents q pound to as high az
40 cents.
5000, 900 Profits.
I'VE made two reductions in tire
prices in 1924, amounting to 20
per cent. on high pressure tires and
80 per cent on balloon tires, but
in the face Of these reductions our
sales for the year were 385. $40, 900
as compared with $77,6SS, 900 for
1928. Our net profits, after provid-
ing for depreciation, interest and
other charges, but before. Federal
taxes, were about $S,117, 900.

four years ago, but when she read
the announcement in the papers and
saw the children's charities to be
aided by the ball receipts she de-
cided to go. and her request went
irto the mails the same morning.
She said she recalled the rush for
tickets four years ago and wanted
to get her request in early.

the honor of obtaining ticket No. /.
