advertising space.
Byron (Cal.) Times.
The Rod Bluff Dully News submits
this statement:
••If you had newspaper space to sell,
mul n pay-roll to meet,, would you sell
vour space to business inon of other
cities who want it, or would you hold it
for local people who won’t take it and
who sometimes declare advertising does
not payf”
The question is olio that concerns
newspaper publishers everywhere. In
iniiny places, notably small communities,
the newspaper- lias a hard struggle for
existence. It muy be a live sheet, well
edited, but tho loon) morchnnt feds that
••everybody knows him” and it is not
accessory to advertise: that he does
about ‘‘the same amount of business
anyway. ’ ’
He fails to appreciate what it means
to his community to spread abroad tho
news of its doings, of Its achievements
usd advantages.
In supporting the newspaper by ad
vertising, tile merchant encourages new
enterprises, and tho greator the publicity
given the town and comity the more
rapid their growth.
The local newspaper is a chamber of
commerce mid publicity burouu eombised.
It should hnvo tile support of everyone,
to the end that tho grentest amount of
good may be accomplished.
Thousands of dollurs’ worth of free
advertising is given every year to the
community by the local newspaper. Ev
ery little thing is boosted,. mul people
abroad begin to find out what a tine
place your town -iis.
Only in advertising can the local news
paper find reward for its efforts. Tho
subscriptions do not’ mono than pny for
ihe cost of printing and delivering the
paper. - -
In supporting the paper by adverti
sing, the , merchant is contributing not
only to ;)l,ip.'flli ( ®ft'bdnelit, but to the fu
ture of the ,community.
, Naturally,' If there is liot sufficient in-
colno from local sourcos to pay the bills
piivl leave a fair mgfghi of ^profit;' there
•rail be no question of tliq-justification of
life newspaper in accepting advertising
@pm abroad. £
VlTlte people of Byron, for instance,
•Would not have tlie Byron Times for.i if-
lather issue if it wero not ’ for outside
Advertising. The fact that tills ..illver-
•Tlsing space is in demand by .outsiders
ps a tribute to the paper—to its infill-
dice and -wide eivenlat'iqn. -,-
ii The lied Bluff News wisely says that
newspaper space is not fai:■•handpicked
jaistoiiiers any more than is’tlie co\imiod-
•ity of any other business; hud all'ljH'si-
.liess sells its wares where it can find n
customer. ’ ’
You can judge a man by the way lit
handles a book agent.
Maybe they are called ‘‘infant Indus
tries” because they arc always squalling
for protection.
Tliore is sonielliing wrong with the
hoy who hud rather be' President than
•“ home-runner” in a bill game.
YOU FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOUR
SELF.
A sate small representing a jobber in
Western Missouri tells this one as a
true story, which incident he declares
occurred while lie was trying to buy a
Hchet at a railway station, v
‘‘.Let me have Bleeping ueeuinmudn
tlons on tile train to St. Louis,'' tho
would-bo passenger told the man at the
window.
‘ • For two passengers!'' asked the
ticket agent.
“No!” shot back the traveler, •‘I'm
not, taking anybody with me. A
single bunk will answer. Wlmt's the
illftWeme!” quizzed the man, impatient
ly-
—•'Our prices in St. Louis are -Tti.US
and j 1 4-.07. You understand, of course, ”
explained the tlekot stamper, ‘ 1 the lower
is higher than the upper. The higher
price is for the lower berth. If you
wind a lower you'll have to go higher.
AVe sell tho upper lower than the lower.
It didn’t use to bo so, but we found that
everybody wanted the lower. In other
words, tlie higher tho lower.”
‘•Why do they nil prefer the lower!''
broke in the traveler.
On ncoouht of its convenience,''
flashed back the ticket agent. ‘ ‘ Most,
persons didn’t liko tho upper, although
it’s lower, on account of being higher,
and because when you occupy mi upper
you hnvo to get up to go to bed, and
then get down when you got up. I would
advise you to take tho lower, although
its highor than tho upper, for the reason
that I have stated. Tlie upper is lower
than the lower because it is higher. A’uu
can have the lower if you pny high
or, but. if yon are willing to go higher
it will be lower,” lie concluded.

CUTTING FUNDS CUTS WORK
Twenty-Four Thousand One Hundred
And Fifty-Nine Dollar* Of The
Fund For 1921.
Buy Mileage
In Tires—
The first consideration in buy
ing tires is the mileage you get
from them. Fisk, U. S and
Hood tires are as standard in
value as sterling silver—long
mileage is guaranteed.

R. B. Askew & Co,
The appropriation of the Stule Hoard
of Health tor 1922 and 1923 was cut
by the Legislature. This cut, with Che
withdrawal of Coderul aid to venereal
disease control work, gives the State
Board of Health $24,159.00 less money
than they are operating with this year,
It Is bnrd to conceive how this work
enu be curried on in tho same pro
portion us at present; in tact, it can
not be done. The Venereal Disease
Control Division of tile Board hus been
cut 60%; this means that this De
partment cannot do much more than
continue its free Wassormnn Depart
ment and possibly furnish Keidel blood
tubes to the physicians. This, ns we
view it, is no less than a public ca
lamity. The Slate Board of Health,
eo far hb the central unit Is concerned,
had tlielr appropriation cut $9,690.
When you consider Hie growth of the
population and the constantly Increas
ing demands on the Laboratory, you
will realize that this really moanB a
decrease In the capacity of the work
of the State Board of Health, of about
20%; in other words, It was estimated
by Dr. Tlios. F. Abercrombie, the Sec
retary and Commissioner of Health,
that to keep pace with our Increase
of population and consequent danger
front Infections nnd communicable dis
eases Incident to tho natural conges
tion of peojf.e, he would hnvo to lmvo
ten thousand dollars more money for
1922 and 1923 than for last year and
this. This, It seems to the editor of
this paper, was a very modest and rea
sonable conclusion.
The appeal of Dr. Abercrombie to
the appropriation committee was for
$100,960.00. This was made after very
careful estimates had been made hav
ing in view the finanelnl condition of
the State nnd of the people who pay
the tax, keeping constantly in mind
tlie acttiul demands on him by the peo
ple and the physicians of his State,
with also the fact that the lowered re
slstance of our people from the neces
slty for economy that all must prac
tice, the possibility of un Increase in'
the communicable diseases and a pos
sibility of pellagra increasing. We cun
imagine bis grief and surprise when
the committee recommended an ap
propriation for the entire work of $67,■
600.00; Lite appropriation for this year
bad been $90,690.00.
The friends of tlie people and those
legislators who were interested in the
prevention of disease, some of thorn
being members of tlie appropriation
committee from the floor of the House
succeeded In getting this raised to $81,,
431.00. Many realized that this sum
was entirely inadequate for tho work
of the health department, and Interest
ed themselves in having the Senate
increase the amount at loast to the
figure of this year, but history of all
time was broken when the Senate;
'adopted the House Bill without the
changing of a. word, tho dotting of an
or the crossing of a t.
AVe think, In justice to our State
Board of Health, our people, and the
physicians especialy, should know the
facts, and If you are not able to get
from this Board the co-operation that
you think you should, you should re
member that they are doing, tlie very
best they can und wrestling with
shortage of $24,159.00. -
It is more than likely that the dis
tribution of free Arsphenumlne wiJl
have to be discontinued, and that tits
funds will admit of very little dlphthe
ria antitoxin being given the poor,
This is no less than a public calamity
as a few doses of 606 will control the
spread of Syphilis and a few thousand
units of antitoxin will save a life.
Our State has many people in it who
are not able to pay for these reme
dies.
The work of the Board will have
to be curtailed in other respects as
well. We are quite sure that it will
function as host It can, and with the
small appropriation at Its disposal will
be the means of preventing much 111
ness and the curing of many who are
sick through its diagnostic work at the
Laboratory.
PROHIBITION AND HUMAN NA
TURE.
Exchange.
We don't want, to talk prohibition.
There Isa't anything (o say ou the sub
ject. nuywny. There is plenty "hooch”
on the market, for those enjoying l’at
purses and copper-lined digestive or
gans, ntiil those equipped with neither
of these ought, not to drink liquor,
But we have a lot of fun out of pro
hibition in this way, Wo ask our friends
nnd aequo in lances if they believe In pro
hibition. Many of them do, on tho lniHis
that It Is ii good thing for the other fel
low, or tho poor man.
AVo hnvo yet tu find a man who feels
and .believes that it was a necessary
measure for his own particular welfare.
Try this out yourself. II won’t bo so
or.v amusing until sonio score or more
hnvo made you the same answer, nnd
then you will begin to wonder. Tlie
trouble is, you wonder iff vain. You
on't. know whether every prohibitionist
in the world votes because lie thinks tho
other fellow is weak. Nobody believes
it vitally enacorns his own welfare. Or
OU. will wonder whether nil men nro
la rs.
Tliore am a lot of things about human
nature to puzzle over. For hist,unco,
Caruso maintained that it was tho voice
mtd not tho reputation of the singor that
called forth the applnuso. So in u cer
tain opera whore tlie second tenor sang
in the wings, Caruso also hidden in tho
wings, took tho same song one night,
nnd the house silt unmoved. Geraldine
[i'arrnr, unannounced, snug a song in tho
opening number of a bouofit -perform
aiiee, and tlie appluliiHo was perfunctory.
Later in tho evening, singing in her turn
on tlie lull, she received her usual spon
taneous applause. All of which goes to
provo that a little scenery, a little sot
ting of the stage, is relislind by the best
of us.
O
The young wife mot her husband on
the doorstep. Before lie had taken off
bis coat, she began:
"John, the cook 1ms luftc—"
Said the man, reproach fully:
"Is it right to moot mo with such
news when 1 return home Into from ilio
office, tired and hungry!’’
But, John, I merely want to sty tho
cook has left— ’ ’
"A'os, 1 know you merely want to say.-.
And I merely want to say it’s a shame
that tlfin household' is always in a state
of upset. Other women' manage to keep
tlielr servants. Why can't you!”
'John, 1 will speak. The cook knew
you would lie late, so she left a eolil
chicken and custard pudding on the
dining-room table for you.”
'Well, Ethel, why in the world didn't
you say that at, first.”
PROTECTION OF WOMEN REFUSED
Legislature Fails to Pass Necessary
Law.
The protection of the young womer
of our State against venereal Infec
tion that was sought In a bill by Mr
Moore, of Appling County, In the re
cent legislature was defeated because
of a lack of a constitutional majority
The vote on this bill was 85 for and
65 against; It requires 100 votes to
pass such a law. The bill was called
up at a very Inopportune time, on Mon
day morning before a number of mem
bers of the House arrived. Splendid
work in favor of the enactment of this
measure into a law was done by the
various organizations of the good wom
en of Atlanta and a few outside of the
efty.
The bill will be again offered at the
next session, and, in the interim, It Is
hoped that all who are interested In
the matter will do some effect©
work.
Ponder over the following figures
18 per cent of all deaths under one yeat
of age occur during the first month
•jf life, and that at least 43 per cent
of them are due to natal of prenatal
causes. It Is believed that congenital
syphilis or no syphilis, our respon
slbillty to the unborn and the new
born child should be encouraged ami
tho responsibility taken up. Every
community has Its part of this bur
den to bear.
