JOB WORK A SPECIALTY
IF you want an example of
how thoroughly widespread ad
vertising does its work look at
the VSwat the Fly" campaign.
Only fly in the average house
hold now is chased about till it
drops from exhaustion. And
without advertising patronage,
a newspaper would exist about
as long as the proverbial snow
ball down below. With the pres
ent cost of print paper the
POST-DISPATCH actually los
es money on each $2.00 sub-scripTion.
' COLGATE, Kellogg or Wrig
ley or aoyone of a hundred
others spend hundreds of thou
sands of dollars every year to
advertise their tooth paste,
their corn flakes and their chew
ing gum. Shrewd business mer.
such as these would not make
such heavy expenditures merely
for the pleasure of seeing their
names in print. No. It is be
cause they realize the returns
they are getting.
The POST-DISPATCH is pub
lished at the county-seat of a
rich manufacturing s:id agricul
tural county. The paper covers
the local field as closely as pos
sible. It prints the NEWS with
out fear or favor, and it is a po
tential salesman for every one
who advertises therein. If you
have anything to sell, or want
to buy something, or have lost
an article, try an advt. in the
"Want" column and you'll be
surprised at the responses, ft
pays to advertise in the POST
AUGUST weather can be de
pended upon to bring out the
non-essential citizens the one
one who greets you c-r: a swelter
ing day with the time worn ex
pression, "This hot enough for
you ?" A turkish bath ought to
be his answer. Then there is
the other nuisance who is alway
wiping the perspiration from his
brow and saying "Whew," in
loud tones. This tends to raise
the temperature just about ten
degrees. If you'll take a hot day
with a cool head you will find
things much more pleasant.
AN editor can't manufacture
news. The POST-DISPATCH
can publish only that which can
be safely classed as legitimate.
How often have you picked up
a daily or weekly paper, and
glancing through it, laid it aside
with the remark that "there's
nothing in the paper today."
You little realized the work that
went to make up that paper,
and that many items and articles
therein were of much interest to
others if not to yourself.
Probably you want the paper
to be more literal with the news.
Instead of saying "Mrs. Jones
spent Tuesday in the city, shop
ping," you would prefer that we
say, "Mrs. Jones was in fne city
Tuesday and bought a new set
of false teeth." Or instead of
saying of a party "the guests
arrived and chatted pleasantly
for an hour;" when as a matter
of fact, it should read "the
guests straggled in, and the
game was delayed an hour wait
ing for Miss Cowstail who has
a habit of being late at every
party ; instead of enjoying them
selves, the guests finally began
the game. with a grouch." ,
It would be fun reading the
real truth about others, but it
would be a different matter if
that truth were about YOU. You
wouldn't be so anxious for "lit
eral" news, but would be con
tent to let the W oY Post-Dis
patch publish it as it sees fit.
Here is how Senator Warren
Harding, Republican candidate
for President, regards the League
of Nations; it is clipped from a
recent speech of his from his
front porch:
"This country cannot take its place in
the League of Nations because of the
presence in our midst of large numbers
of people of foreign birth who would
cease to be rejoicing American when the
land of adoption sits in judgment on the
land from whence they came."
Wonder how our Southern
Republicans, and our Richmond
county Republicans, regard this
brazen effort to get the German
American vote? In contrast is
the statement of Democratic
Candidate Cox who heartily en
dorses the League of Nations and
who, in speaking of the foreign
element, says "there are 1,600,000
in this country of foreign birth
who need to be Americanized by
our American public schools."
Tftu?y can't stand the gaff of
simon-pure Americanism they
had best get out of the country
and return to their native lands.
, We have no room for half-hearted
hyphenated Americans.
Dog Derails Car.
Capt. H. C. Sheley, Supt. of
bridges for the Seaboard, with
headquarters at Hamlet, suffered
a broken collar bone Saturday
when a.motor car struck a doc
near Maxton, derailing the car
and throwing the other occu
pant, Dan Owens,i;forty feet into
a nearby cotton patch. The
motor car was crippled, but the
dog apparently was not; the last
seen of him he was hitting it
down a cotton row at a rabbit
rate.
Robinson in China.

They were last week at Pekin,
China. In the party are Con

A Sad Death.
On Tuesday morning, August
19th, the Angel of Death visited
the home of Mr. E. J. Hale and
bore away to the realms of eter
nal bliss, the baby girl of the
family which on July 21, 1919,
was married to Mr.Alex Mc
Queen. This loyal christian
woman was ready to answer the
call to go heavenward, but to
part with her husband and tiny
baby was a severe and trying
ordeal. Just a few hours prior
to her death, God had given her
a sweet little baby boy. This
baby will never know the tender
love of a mother.
