CLEAN UP. PAINT UP.

Charleston. MAY 1st.-The Clean
Up and Paint Up campaign is fine
developer of tn community spirit, it
is claimed bv State Fire Marshal C.
l.. Topping. 1t is Job for every
body and the people learn to work
and play together.
"This campaign. besides reducing
fire losses and conserving health. adj
vertises community and helps its
business" said Mr.. Topping. MANY
cities have shown a more rapid
growth in population after this cam
paign was inaugurated than they
had ever hoped to enjoy.

tivity 1t creates lively demand
upon local dealers for everything
needed in making homes clean and
attractive and safe from fire. dis
ease and the weather 1t stablizes,
restores and increases the value of
real estate and helps the banks and
the borrowers.
This time of year should be not

but it is wonderful preservative.
Paint tones up the self-respect of
neighborhood. town or city. 1t adds
value to properties when sales are
forced or voluntary, and it saves
wastage otherwise inevitable be-
cause of the elements. The increased
production of materials used in the
making TO paint is so much greater
than usual that it is being credited
chiefly to the rapidly developing
campaign for Improvement which
has for its slogan, Clean Up and
Paint Up What the sensible, per-
sistent use of paint will do in coun-
try or city can be noted by any auto
mobilist.
"f people aren't building, they
can at least paint up. Every store
building should be painted every
two or three years. There is no
economy in letting a building grow
dirty and rotten"

to save them on the ground that Il
isn't worth the bother.
That IS a mistake.
Christmas shopping season Is a
busy one. and a store can make
mistakes in its accounts. And If a
collector comes to you and demands
payment for an article you have al
ready paid for-well, II you have a
receipt the matter ends right there.
Receipt Protects You
In addition, the receipt is invalu-
able If for any reason the mer-
chandise you have bought is unsatis-
factory and must be returned It Is
your protection--a check on the
honesty and accuracy of tho stores
workers-and you should always
keep it.
One more word-about charge 40
counts.
They're wonderful things to have,
especially at Christmas time, but be
careful you don't say charge it,
too often. It's easy to buy beyond
your means when you do it on
credit, and it's worth remembering
that the day of reckoning is bound
to come-all too soon. Buy as care
fully as If you were paying cash for
everything-and then Christmas
won't leave bad taste in your
mouth when the bills begin to come
in.

That joke has drawn plenty of
laughs. But in reality It's no joke
at all.
It's certainly no joke to the mer-
chant. who is forced TO give out
perfect goods in exchange for Sec
ond hand articles which he must sell
at a marked-down price.
1t is not a joke to the salesgirls,
who find their commissions cut by
deduction Of the returned articles
from their sales slips.
1t is no Joke to the buyer. either.
In the long run the buyer must pay
higher prices to make up what the
merchant loses on returns.
There is another angle to It, too.
When you buy. at reduced price,
goods that some one else has re-
turned, you are exposing your fam
lily too the possibility OF contagion.
Who knows what germs the goods
may have come in contact with
while lying around some one else's
home for four or five days7
Only a Habit
It is up to the woman buyers
sense OF fair play to do away with
this habit. For, in most cases, the
returning OF Christmas gifts is a
habit and nothing more.
Shaking of bahita. there ia nm.
other habit that women buyers-and
men, Tonight well cultivate dur
ing the Christmas shopping season
and at other times. That is the
habit of always getting a receipt
for every article that is purchased.
Receipts are always given, in
practically every store in the land.
Many shoppers, however, make a
practice OF dropping them. refusing
