BE SURE YOU THINK
By RALPH POOL .
The primaries are drawing near in truth they soon
will be right here and Betsy's citizens may see if things
shall go the same old way, of graft and peanut politics, the
sad and sorry sort of 'fix we've been in all these many years
(for which we merit darned few cheers). Let's bust the
jinx and oust the gang which long has let our town go hang;
which long has ruled by hook and crook to fill its private
pocketbook.
Beyond all camouflage or doubt we've got a town to
brag about; the; beauty of each shaded street, the pretty
homes, all trig and neat, the business section, nobby, trim,
and full5 of hustle, pep arid vim; the storied, tranquil Pas
quotank these give us spme small right to swank. Then
why should we still tolerate a rule belike a feudal state,
whose bosses who aspire alone to work new schemes to fill
their own foul purses with our hard-earned chink? Before
you vote, BE SURE YOU THINK!

Elizabeth City parents must estab
lish something of a censorship of mov
ing pictures, according to Miss Marcie
Albertson, ' Home Demonstrator- for
Pasquotank dounty, in a recent address
to the Housewives' League of the city.
Miss Albertson voices the opinion
that many of the pictures shown in
youth of the town and are not mak
ing for good citizenship. She says the
Elizabeth City are demoralizing to the
mothers should band together and de
mand educational pictures and pictures
carrying wholesome morals. She thinks
once a week is often enough for the
average child to see me movies ana
that the management of the theatres
could be persuaded -to give the child
ren special pictures of merit once a
week. If the theatres preferred show
ing the other kind the children should
be made to stay at home. The House
wives have a committee to recommend
a plan of procedure in behalf of better
pictures.

SIX SPLENDID BODY TYTPfiS
The financial advantage that farmers
may derive from the cooperative ship
ping of livestock to the larger market
centers, when local markets are un
satisfactory, was very clearly demon
strated last week when a cooperative
carload shipment of 72 hogs was made
from Hyde County to the Richmond
market.
Believing that Hyde County farmers
were not getting what they should for
their hogs when sold locally, County
Agent . Murray began advocating and
encouraging cooperative carload ship
ments to packer markets and was sue
cessf ul in getting a number of his farm
ers to try this- plan of marketing. The
carload shipment last week netted the
farmers consigning the hogs $591.39
more, after deducting all expenses and
results were highly satisfactory. The
allowing for shrinkage en route to mar
ket, than the animals would have
brought had they been sold at local
prices.
The best hogs in the shipment ' sold
for 21 cents per pound, live, weight, in
Richmond, the top price paid for hogs
on that market last week.
The successful cooperative market
ing of hogs from Hyde County is of
special interest, reports C. S. Jones,
Specialist in Livestock Marketing, in
asmuch as it was accomplished under
somewhat adverse conditions. There
being no railroad in the county, it was
necessary to ship the hogs a part of the
way by boat and later transfer them to
a car to complete the trip by rail. How
ever Mr. Jones finds that the farmers
'.were highly pleased with the results
and plans already are being made for
making considerable number pf cooper
ative shipments from that county" dur
ing the next hog-marketing season.
Equally satisfactory results have
also been secured in a number of other
counties in the State during the past
few months, where the cooperative plan
of shipping fat hogs thas been tried for
the first time, and the indications are
that this plan of marketing all classes
of livestock will rapidly grow in favor
over the State.
"Aside from the fact that the cooper
ative shipment of hogs to market en
ables farmers to get full market price
for their hogs, less actual cost of mar
keting," says Mr. Jones, "it also causes
them to realize that there is always a
ready market for all fat hogs they can
grow and provides a means of their
placing .them on the packer market
even though each farmer has only a
few to sell. When these facts are more
fully appreciated they will be a very
important factor in bringing about in
creased swine production in North
Carolina, which we believe is desire-able."
NEW STAT? DOG LAW
IS NOT BEING ENFORCED
Though the bill entitled "An Act to
Tax Dogs in North Carolina and to
Encourage Sheep Husbandry" became a
law immediately at its ratification by
the General Assembly, many dog ow
ners over the State do not seem to un
derstand its provisions. v
According to R. S. Curtis, Animai
Husbandman- of the North : Carolina
Experiment Station, it has come to his
attention recently that many sheep on
different farms of the State: are being
killed by roaming dogs, yet section 5
of the law recently passed slates speci
fically that "No person shall allow his
dbg over six months old to run at large
in the night time unaccompanied by the
owner, by some member of the owner's
family,' or by some other person with
the owner's permission. Any person
Intentionally, knowingly and wilfully
violating this section shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor and, upon conviction,
shall be fined not exceeding fifty dol
lars or imprisoned not exceeding thirty
days, and shall also be liable in dam
ages to any person injured or suffer
ing loss" to his property or chattels."
Mr. Curtis thinks that this section
shows clearly that the recent damages
inflicted on the sheep industry of the
State have made some one liable for
conviction under this law. As passed
by the last Legislature, this law has
for its purpose the protection and pro
motion of the sheep industry, as -well
as to modify the dangers to human
health from mad dogs. However, un
less the law is strictly enforce 1 by the
county commissioners of the .lmerer-.t
counties, it will be of small value in
promoting the purposes for which it
was intended.

Why Spend So Much
Money on Shoes?
Here is what Tracy Munson of
Joplin, Missouri, says ot Ne&lin
Soles: "Judging from my own ex
perience, they wear four times longer
than other soles and have the addi
tional advantage pf being waterprool
and slip-proof." .-
Why continue to wear extravagant
old-fashioned soles when you can get
these money-saving, long-wearing soles
on new shoes in any style you like
for any member of the family? Good
shoe stores everywhere carry them.
. And don't throw away. your old
shoes. Have them re-bottomed with
Neolin Soles and enjoy the comfort
of a re-soled shoe which is not stiff
or clumsy. Neslin Soles are a dis
covery of Science, and are made by
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,
Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot
Heels guaranteed to outwear all
other Keels. - '

MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER
Edenton, N. C, April 25. Miss Sallie
Ruth Chappell was hostess on Friday
evening, April twenty-fifth from si-
to eight o'clock in honor .of Miss Estelle
White whose marriage to Mr. Thomas
Jarvis Markham of Elizabeth City will
be the social event of the week. A
miscellaneous shower was staged.
The hall, library and living room
were similarly decorated with ferns,
palms, and other potted plants, mass
ed with a profusion of whit narcis
sus, tulips, spirea and other cut flowers
indigenous to springtime. JThe stair
way was twined with southern smilax.
A copious bridal shower of lilies of the
valley tied with white and satin rib
bon wasi suspended from the electric
light in each of the three rooms. A
wedding bell in the hall and cupids in
the other rooms lent a festive atmos
phere suggestive of the hymeneal oc
casion approaching. Pink candles and
pink shaded lights added a witchery
to the romantic scene, that was irres
istible. . .
The guests were met at the door by
Mrs. Miles Brown and Mrs. W. H. Co
field, Jr., who invited them to go to
the punch bowl which was presided
over by Misses Ruth Reade, Camilla
McMullan and Myrtle jnappeii, oi
Hertford. After being served they were
directed to go to the library where
Misses Marie Wineke, of Baltimore, Mr.
Bessie Owens of Weldon and Eliz
abeth Wozelka were receiving. All

There's a good
Farmer
As ycu drive through the coun
try it's easy to pick out the
farmers who are progressive t
and prosperous. A shiftless
man allows his buildings to be
come shabby and weather
beaten. The thrifty farmer
keeps everything painted with
LmJlldyJlLi Lead and Zinc Paint
Fewer Gallons Wears Longer
Of course, any paint you put on
is better than no paint. But for
long and satisfactory service we
' always recommend Devoe Lead
and Zinc Paint because we can
guarantee it to be absolutely
pure. It contains' no whiting, no silica, or
any other worth less adulterants. That's
why Devoe paint goes so much farther and
lasts so much longer than ordinary paint.
Come in and let us show you why it's real
economy for you to paint Devoe paint now.
Ask for free booklet on painting ''Keep
Appearances Up and Expenses Down." .
