Its Up To The Women!"

It's Up To The Women!"
With the above caption as a them,
The Ladies Home Journal puts thu
issue OF the return of prosperity ane
normal condition squarely up to thu
women OF the country. Prompted b,
this editorial, a group of distinguish,
ed economists have prepared a sever
point platform of wise spending anc
saving to guide women along the patti
OF economic normally.
Briefly the seven points of the plat
form are:
l. Maintain Normal Living Con-
ditions.
The food you eat, the clothes you
wear the house you live in constitute
your standard of living. Don't lower
1t. Protect it. Put your dollars to
work. Your purchases will keep re-
tail stocks moving, factories running,
your neighbor at work, money in
Nt1dIIOll, SICu1L dCC1Ve.
2. Satisfy Your Wants At Today's
Prices.
Food, clothing and shelter can all
be bought right now at prices that
are exceedingly advantageous.
3. Buy A Home Now.
The house and lot that you buy at
today's prices will surely be a sound
and profitable purchase. 1t is a splen-
did way to save.
4. Modermize And Rebar Your
Home.
Present conditions are highly IA
vorable for such work. 1t will make
your own surroundings more pleasant
and will make jobs for the unemplov-
ed.
5. Join The Parade To Prosperity.
You can participate and profit in
the inevitable recovery of general in
dustry by investing in sound Ameri-
can securities.
6. Stop Being Afraid.
Americans are not towards or mis-
ers. Don't spread calamity gossip. Be
sane. Spread good news.
7. Don't Hoard Yonr Money
Keep 1t Safe.
Hoarded money may be misplaced
or lost or stolen. Hoarded money pays
no interest or dividends. Hoarded
money dries up credit-and it gives
no one a job. The banking system is
sound 49,. So is the United States
of America.
In a second editorial the Ladies
Home Journal points out that the
book of the American Woman
is the barometer of American business.
In boom times she is a liberal spender.
In bad times she is a desperate hoard
er of money. Right now if she opens
her purse she can help the depression.
There are t%wenty-nine million families

AN INCREASE OF
OVER HALF MILLION
Reynolds Tobacco Conn
tamy Pays u Per Cent
OF States Income Taxes.

North Carolina revenues, most Sc
rious concern of the commonwealth
tor half a century, will be augment
ed by more than $4,000 900 as the
result of the Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany's earnings in 1881.
The company will pay nearly $780,
600 more between now and the March
listing than it paid last year. Income
taxes in North Carolina will suffer
quite a slump from all reports, but
the Reynolds people will beat their
1881 record all the way from $780,
600 to 100000. The increase NAV
be more. Thus the state gets more
money from this corporation than ev-
en- the best guessers hoped. The state
increased its rate from as to S. per
cent, going perilously close to the
constitutional limit.
The Reynolds company will pay
about u per cent of the states in
come taxes. And the money which
comes from this source will help to
hold the income expectancies near the
point set by the general assembly of
1881. A few other institutions may
increase their tribute slightly; but
business in the large will show a big
slump.
The company made a net profit Of
$36,396,S16.S1 last year. For 1880
the profits were $34,256,664.92. Thus
the Reynolds people gained $2,14o,-
1919 in earnings.
Fresh and furious debate has met
the two announcements, but the man
ufacturers have a few facts working
for them: During 1881 there was nc
lay off among the workers, and there
was no reduction of working time,
the factories ran steadily, there were
no salary cuts, and at the end of the
year there, were more people on the
Reynolds payroll than at any other
time during the year.
1t is doubtful if there is another
corporation in the state which has
had just that sort of a year. State
workers have been cut both in num-
Der and in compensation. The Rey-
nolds organization ran on full wages,
salaries, hours and personnel, even
augmenting the array of workers.

Reynolds To Pay State Two Million This Year

in the United States. Suppose a half of
them boarded one hundred dollars
each. That's nearly a billion and a
half dollars put out of circulation.
Suppose again this new fad of per-.
sonal shabbiness, wearing old clothes,
cutting down on food supplies in
dulged in by, say half of the twenty
nine million families was stopped,
textile mills would be running over
time to supply needs of the store
keepers and factories would be giving
jobs to numberless unemployed.
"1t's Up To The Women!"
Don't go shabby if you can afford
any new clothes right now.
Don't put off buying a home if you
can make a down payment.
Don't cut down on food just to be
thrifty.
Don't postpone the baby you want.
Don't drive the old car another
year while you wait to see what's 60
ing to happen.
Here is an appeal to the women of
Salisbury for it is the women who do
90 per cent of the buying:
Live the very best that you can.
Have courage to spend, and spend
now.
Have faith in a prosperous future.
Hoard anything except currency.
Spread the good news that you
hear.
Then watch how your pocketbook
patriotism helps to bring back pros
perity.
Plans are in the making for the an
nual meeting and dinner of the Sails
bury Chamber of Commerce. Many
innovations are being considered and
it is proposed to make the event not
only enjoyable but of lasting benefit
both to the organization and the
community. Six new directors and a
president are to be named. Ballots
will be sent out from the office of the
secretary in a short while on which
twelve directors will be nominated
and from the twelve six will be chos-
en- at the meeting to be held early in
February.
1t won't be long now before Sails
burlans will be getting thex mail
from the governments own building,
corner of Innes and Church streets,
and it is % out of place to remind
our people that but for the prompt
action taken by the Chamber of
last Spring work would
hardly have been begun on the $780,
900 addition. 1t was that organization
that stepped in when it seemed, ow-
ing to the bid of the contractor be-
ing a few thousand dollars over the
appropriation, that further action by
congress would be necessary and Sc
cured the active, urgent help of
Congressman Doughton and found a
way around the red tape that was go
ing to put off the beginning of work.

STAMPS IS YEARS OLD

1t is perhaps not generally known that
United States postage stamps have been IN
use only IS years, but such is the case. The
first issue of United States stamps consisted
of only two denominations, the scent used
on half-ounce letters going 800 miles or less,
and the 1O-cent for letters going distance
exceeding 800 miles.
The scent stamp bore the portrait of
Benjamin Frnaklin, our first postmaster; the
1O-cent stamp bore the portrait of Washing
ton, and were first issued in 1887, although
a few postmasters had issued some stamps at
their own expense for about two years pre-
viously. The very first adhesive postage
stamps to be issued by any government were
introduced in England in 1910, the example
being quickly followed by other nations.
The first issue of postage stamps in 1887
would seem very insignificant in volume COM
pared with the tremendous output of the
present year, which is estimated to be not
les than 10 billion, requiring 1000 tons of
paper, 575 tons of gum and 500 tons of ink.
Placed end to end this one years supply
would reach around the earth at the equator
ten times.
But no one has figured out how much en-
ergy and moisture it will take to stick them
where they will peform their duty.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1932-05-26
HOW THE U. S. GREW

To those who have never taken the trou-
BILE to look into the matter it may be sur
prising to know that the area of the United
States has been increased from 892,135
square miles in 1870 to 3,738,393 square
miles at present.
The Is original states-New Hampshire,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carroll
ma, South Carolina and Georgia-had gross
area of 892,135 squire miles, of which a.
155 was water.
The first accession to this territory was
through the louisiana Purchase from
France in 1903, which added 827,987 square
miles, nearly doubling the nations area. Otn-
er additions of large extent were those of
Florida, Texas, Oregon, the Mexican cession,
Alaska and the PHILIPPINES.
Smaller additions resulted from the
Gadsden Purchase, and the acquisition Of
Hawaii, Porto Rico, Guam, American Samoa,
Panama Canal Zone and the Danish West In
dies The purchase of the Danish West In
dies in 1917 marked the last extension of
United States territory.
In future it seems unlikely that the
United States will make any effort to en-
large it's present size, and it is the avowed
intention to grant independence to the Phil
ippines whenever the islands give satisfac-
tory evidence of their capacity for self gov
eminent.

MANS SEVEN MISTAKES

Mans imperfections lead him to make
many mistakes in life, and the pointing out
of these frailties has engaged the attention
of philosophers and reformers in all ages. A
recent writer enumerates what he considers
to be the seven greatest mistakes of man, as
follows:
1. The delusion that individual advance
ment is made by crushing others down.
2. The tendency to worry about things
that can not be changed or corrected.
g. Insisting that thing is impossible
because we ourselves can not accomplish it.
4. Refusing to set aside trivial prefer
ences in order that important things may be
accomplished.
5. Neglecting development and refine
ment of the mind by not acquiring the habit
of reading.
6. Attempting to compel other persons
to believe and live as we do.
7. The failure to establish the habit of
saving money.
This appears to be pretty fair dag
nosis of what is the matter with us, and
everyone might profitably check up on him
self in the light of these suggestions.

FIRST MEMORIAL DAY

Petersburg, Va, claims the distinction
of being the originator of Memorial Day, now
generally observed on one date or another
throughout the United States
On June 9, 1864, General Kautz with
10000 Federal cavalrymen marched on
Petersburg, then unguarded except for a
few Confederate pickets. Hastily 125 old
men and boys of the home guard were gath
cred together to oppose the Federals and
partially checked their advance until an
army of Confederate cavalry arrived, II of
the defenders being killed.
+ The next year on the first anniversary
of the battle the people of Petersburg decor
ated the graves of these dead. In 1868 Mrs.
Logan, wife of General John A. Logan, then
Commander of the G. A. R., happened to visit
Petersburg on it's memorial day and was so
impressed with the beautiful tribute OF flow
ers and flags that she suggested to the gen
eral that it should be made national GUS
TOM The next year he issued an order for
the observance of May 80 by the veterans of
the North as Memorial Day and the custom
has continued.
In the South, April 26 is observed in Ala
bama, Georgia, Mississippi and Florida; May
10 in North and South Carolina, the second
Friday in May in Tennessee, and June in
Louisiana.
While Virginia observes the national
date, May 80, Petersburg still keeps its GUS
tom of decorating its graves on June also,
thus having two memorial days each year.
Thus according to the claim of that city
the nationwide yearly tribute to the dead
veterans of both North and South had its
origin in the commemoration of the valor of
that heroic little band of Petersburg's de-
tenders.
