Warnings On
Unreliable

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Nov. 27.-All industries
are not desirable or reliable and
North Carolina cities and towns de-
string to "capture' new ones should
go very slow in Offering "bait' in the
form of tax exemptions cash pay
ments and the like, James T. Ander-
son, inouslrial engineer for the De-
partment OF Conservation and Dcvcl-
opment warns.
The only Industries worth having,
he points out, are those financially
stable enough to establish and sup
port themselves Others will prove
complete flops or viii be left on the
hands OF the cities which induce them
to come in.
New industries that want city
Or town to provide free factory space,
or space without rent or q cash bonus
usually cannot be depended upon and
are likely to prove fly-by-night con-
They should be thoroughly inves-
tigated and required to post a bond
or adequate security before anything
IS done to help them.
'If this is not done, the city or
town is likely to nave an experience
similar to that Of a Missouri town,
which in order to get a shoe factory.
offered the company free factory
space for ten years and in addition
put up $4,000 in cash, demanded by
the company so that it might finance
training period for the unskilled
workers Of the community.
"A big celebration was held wheen
the shoe factory opened up and the
town thought it was on its way to per
manent prosperity. The $4,000 a
year payroll failed to materialize and
the factory never employed more
than 80 workers, even at its peak.
Soon it began to slack off and within
little more than year it closed down
entirely with the announcement it
was going back to ST. Louis. The To-
cal folks were just out their $4,000.

Under the old control plan many

gestive organs by indulging in the
tooth-some "hot-dog," we were COM
PEELED to line it up with recent
bit Of hot dog news. The promoters
OF the Golden Gate International
Exposition have figured that the
number OF hot dogs to be consumed,
II stretched out together, will reach
273 miles. This doctor, ten years
ago, tried to take from us the best
square meal q nickel can buy, but
present day figures show that Am
orleans continue to eat and enjoy
them. So often folks in Kennewick
find that what they like most is put
on the mustn't touch" shelf, but
1t seems that the hot dog is still In
favor. at least the carnivals, coun-
try fairs. roadside stands, and the
town '3beaneriese" can attest to the
fact that the stomach of America
still likes its hot dog.

TT PAYS YOU

No matter what paper you pick
up, don't overlook the ads. A re-
cent survey in farming district, q
community about the size of Ken
newick, showed that the readers OF
the weekly newspaper paid more
concern to their local advertisers
than to those of nearby shopping
centers. The wise buyer knows that
his advertising merchants are the
pointers of economy. Today there
are none to say that advertising
doesn't pay, with such companies
as Wrigley, Campbell and Ford
spending millions each year to tell
you of the advantages of their gum,
soup and automobiles. The nice
feature about advertising is that
it pays both those who buy and
those who sell. It. is a two-way
gain. .T
Today, more than ever before, do
farm groups realize the success in
marketing crops of their selections
as cooperative group. The exchange
selling oranges and other citrus
fruits marketed the largest orange
crop in it's history this past year.
The managing of the cotton, wheat
and corn crop may cause concern to
national and local farm leaders, but
the special crops of various sections
are being handled most effectively.
There are groups of farmers with
their butter and other dairy prod
ucts, their apples, peas, cranberries
and potatoes. This latter product
was given a national promotion
week and nine states participated in
the support and advertising of the
lowly potato. This successful sell
ing is not necessarily the solution o.
the great farm problem, but it does
show the Importance of cooperative
grading and especially advertising
to put the article across to the con-
sumner. The best selling goods on
the merchants shelf are the best
advertised.

PREVENT IT


If there is one thing of which
you can get too much, it's every
body's special remedy for treating
colds. There are always pet rem
edies that have cured the patient
and never fails on the friends for
an equal cure. Some of these favor
ties are good remedies, but you
would probably be a long time de-
ceased if you tried all of them!
After all Is said and done about
1t, there is one item that stands out
In the cold control situation. That
is known as cold prevention. AS far
as your medical man had advanced
he still is bit reluctant to make
drastic statements about the COM
mon cold. The fact that it is so
common is the big reason we take
extra precautions to prevent CATCH
Ing it. The best remedy, the one
that seems to be the most tried and
true, is to prevent colds through
comfortable, sensible dress, good,
clean air and a well-chosen diet.
What man refuses to believe that
the best cure for a cold is to 60 to
bed until relief is obtained. Two
days of complete rest in bed may
be the prevention of two weeks of
misery on your feet. The associa-
ton of folks with colds is the easiest
way OF passing the complaint
around the neighborhood. Use COM
mon sense with the common cold.

REMEMBER THIS CASE

It is always wise to profit by the
experience Of someone else. It Is
often a costly thing to be needless OF
the outcome and shut our eyes to
the circumstance that might hap
pen to us-if! How often you will
hear someone in Kennewick say,
you can't tell him anything, he has
to find out for himself. !" Too bad we
won't listen. For instance, here is
a recent accident that Is well worth
remembering. Up in Canada q far
mer caught the cuff of his trouser
leg in his combine while examining
it. 1t took. only few seconds for
the undressing of the amazed and
somewhat bruised farmer. He was
left standing in only his hat and
boots. Folks say it gets awfully
cold in Canada!

The Public Utility District Com
missioners do not appear to agree
with the Grange and the Washing
ton Taxpayers Association They
are not anxious to have publicly
owned utilities taxed on the same
basis as those privately owned, ac-
cording to report of their meeting
in Vancouver. They want to be per
mitted" by law to pay to cities,
counties and the state such taxes as
they deem "fair." This ought to be
satisfactory if other businesses are
allowed the same privilege. When
you think of it, why not let every
one contribute to government what
he considers a "fair" tax? sWhy re-
strict desirable privilege to polit-
ically operated enterprises?
