602,909 Va. 332,372 Last Year
Washington. American cotton
mills spurred on by increased demand
for their products, consumed more
cotton during May than in any month
since October, 1929.
The Census Bureau said today
they required 620,909 bales during
the month, nearly twice* the 332,372
bales consumed in May last year and
a sharp increase over the April fi
gure of 470,685 bales in October,
1929, when stock prices dropped
sharply, the mills used 639,759 bales.
Since that time activity for the most
part has been light, reaching its low
mark in July, last ydar, when con
sumption dropped to 278,568.

RAISE IN SUBSCRIPTION
ADVOCATED TO INSURE '
HIGH QUALITY PAPERS
Chicago, lll.—Higher subscription
rates and sale prices for newspapers
are imperative if the quality of the
publications is to be maintained,
John T. Toler, circulation manager of
the Atlanta Constitution, said in the
President’s address to the Interna
tional Circulation Managers’ Associ
ation in convention here Tuesday.
He recalled that for years news
papers have been conducted with ad
vertising as the principal source of
revenue.
“This plan,” he said, “is all right
when times are good and advertisers
are advertising freely; but in'nearly
every depression it has been clearly I
demonstrated that the principle is en- ‘
tirely wrong.”
He reviewed the history of periods
of slack business and said that in
every case circulation had remained
fairly stable while advertising volume
dropped sharply, and -said the last
four years have “emphasized more
than ever that circulation and circu
lation revenue is more stable and
more dependable than advertising
volume and advertising revenue.”
Toler expressed a belief that “the
public would much prefer to pay an
increased rate for the present quality
of a newspaper than to pay the pres-
ent rate for an inferior quality, or
a lover rate for a still further infer
ior quality.”
The dirty, tired looking, ragged
“newsy” of the past is only a tradi
tion, H. W. Stodghill, business and
lation manager of the Louisville
circulation manager of the Louiseville
Times, said Tuesday.
The “newsy” has become a “news
paper boy” and he has cleaned up,
said Stodghill. Stodghill is chairman
of a committee on newspaper boy
welfare.
PUT AMERICANS BACK TO WORK
The major objective of most of
the legislation passed by congress is
to put jobless Americans back to
work.
The problem that faced congress
may be simply stated: “How to re
employ some 13,000,000 men?” Here
are the direct answers:
1. A measure providing for the
establishment of federal-state labor
bureaus, which will seek to connect
men with jobs. These are in the
process of being set up under the di
rection of the department of labor
at Washington.
2. The public works bill, providing
for the possible expenditure of some
$3,300,000,000 in public and semi
public construction of all kinds—on
roads, on rivers and harbors, on
slums, on bridges—to give jobs to
between 3,000,000 and 6,000,000
men.
3. The reforestation bill, provid
ing for the expenditure of an unde
termined amount ($148,000,000 to
begin with) to put 250,000 men at
work reclaiming and protecting the
nation’s forests.
4. The beer bill, legalizing beer
and wine of 3.2 alcohol by weight, re
habilitating a large but dormant in
dustry, and employing many men in
the process.
5. Ihe Muscle Shoala bill, provid
ing for the industrial development of
the Tennessee valley. This gigantic
plan, already under way, envisages
the expenditure of hundreds of mil
lions in erecting dams for power, per
fecting navigation on the Tennessee
river, providing for flood control and,
generally, building up a possible new
center of population in a great elec
tric power area.
6. The emergency relief bill, pro
viding that the Reconstruction Fi
nance Corporation lend some $500,-
000,000 to the states for direct relief
of the unemployed, some to be spent
in “made work” and some in direct
payments.
HOME SPUN IDEAS
Here are a few homespun ideas by
the inimitable philosopher and hum
orist, Joe Cone:
The funniest fellers in the world
are them that don’t know it.
Don’t be so eezy goin’ thet no
body will even expect tew see yew
cornin’.
Joy seldom kills, even though it
strikes more than once in the same
place.
Some folks begin tew make their
mark in the world by disfiggerin’
other people.
Nobuddy hez ever yit seen a sign
uv “Hands Off” on the han’l uv a
bucksaw.
A well-fed cat won’t steal, but
thet hain’t so much tur dew with a
well-fed man.
\V hen yew come tew the cross
roads ehewse the one thet hez a leetle
up grade.
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
CAMILLA CITIZEN ROBBED OF
TRUCK AND MONEY
Frequently the motorist with va
cant seats in his car would find real
joy in giving a lift to a tired pedes
trian, but he never knows whether
he is doing a humane deed ®r sub
jecting himself to> the nefarious
plots of a hi-jacker. Recently, while
trying to play the rood Samaritan
when thriving from Bainbridgc to his
home in Camilla B. IL Gaulden was
robbed of twenty-odd dollars in cash
and the truck he was driving.
Gaulden states that he was driv
ing along the Camilla and Bainbridge
road when a man stepped out frin
the side of the road and waved his
hand. He slowed down and the man
stepped up on the running board and
wanted to t*orrow a tire pump. GauL
den told the man he had no pump,
and he then wanted a tire patch.
While the conversation was going on
the stranger opened the daor of tha
truck and slid onto the seat next tcv
Gaulden. At the same time another
man stepped up on the running
board on the other side of the truck.
The first man stuck the muzzle of a
gun in Gaulden’s side and threw a
cloth of some kind over his head-
The second man shoved him ut from
under the wheel and took charge of
the car and drove off.
Gaulden says the truck wa.- turn
ed to the right several times,,but was
never turned completely around in
the- road. .After driving with him
for some time the men pushed Gaul
den; out of thie truck and drove olf
and left him. Except to relieve him
of something over twenty dollars in
money and his truck the meirdid not.

THINK FRIENDLY THOUGHTS
If a man thinks everyone is a
gainst him, he will soon begin to
treat them ao they will be.. If he
thinks everyane is his friend,, he will
unconsciously treat them as such, and.
they will soon be his friends^
The main who lives his daily life
according to this formula has in; his
make-up a philosophy that wall make
his. life brighter. If we put. into ail
the relations with our fellows a full
measure csf friendliness and good
will, we are pretty sure to gst it back,
full and overflowing. On the other
hand, if a man is suspicious; of every
body, everyone will be suspicious of
him. The man who goes about lock
ing for a fight is sure to get licked
some day, good and plenty.
True friendliness is founded on
sincerity. And sincerity is about the
only thing in this world that can*t be
counterfeited. The impulse toward
friendliness springs from the very
soul of man.
The world needs friendliness, and
kindness, and good will; not Sun
days only, but every day in the
w“ek and every hoar of the dav.
Think friendly thoughts. Put your
faith in men. Believe they are
your friends, and they will be.—
Parry’s Pickings.
MENAGERIE
I was awful sick las’ night, I almost
nearly died;
I had to have the doctor ’cause the
trouble was inside.
I eated crackers that my ma had got
me up in town,
An’ they was made like animals, an’
looked so nice and brown
That I ate dogs an’ pussy cats, an’
bears an’ lions, too,
An’ elephants with curly trunks, like
any child would do.
An’ when 1 eated rnore’n a pound, I
felt an awful pain,
An’ somethin’ seemed to jump inside,
an’ run, an’ jump again.
1 told the doctor when he corned, but
he just only smiled
An’ said he guessed the trouble was
them animals was wild.
An’ dogs and pussy cats, he said,
sometimes did not agree;
Besides I shouldn’t ought to eat a
whole menagerie,
’Cause I was never meant to be a
Noah’s Ark inside—
But I was awful sick las’ night, an’
almost nearly died!

Combs should not be washed, for
the water is apt to split the beeth.
An old and fairly stiff nailbrush will
be found very useful in cleaning
them. Work the bristles well in
and out between the teeth until all
the dirt and fluff are removed and
then wipe the comb carefully on a
damp cloth.

COMMON ROACHES
Roaches are among the mast com
mon and the most offensive insects
which frequent the home.. In the
house, the roaches are particularly
abundant in pantries and kitchens.
They usually conceal themselves dur
ing the day and venture from their
hiding places at night in search of
food.
Roaches will not only feed on ce
real products and food materials of
all sorts, but will eat or gnaw wool
ens, leather, and are frequently the
cause of extensive damage to leather
bindings of books. Roaches will not
stay in a room unless they find avail
able food, and if such can be kept
away from them they may be exter
minated.
Roaches may be controlled by the
use of various poisons, repellents and
fumigants or by trapping. Sodium
fluoride is one of the most effective
simple means of ridding premises of
them. Dust the room along the edges
of the wall with the powder.
Borax in one part to three parts
of finely pulverized chocolate sprink
led freely about the infested premis
es has been reported as a successful
poison for roaches. Flowers of sul
phur dusted where roaches abound
has also proved very effective as a.
repellent. .
Extreme care in sanitation and
cleanliness are the important factors
in combatting these household pests.
They can be exterminated or con
trolled by necessary care and the
employment of agencies suggested in
this article. Best results are obtain
ed by the co-operation of all people,
for one person to rid his house of
flies, mosquitoes or roaches is effec
tive so far as the measure may go.
However, it cannot be as effective as
when others nearby co-operate.
