Given under my hand thflftwentleth day of February. Anno Domini, ltitt. N. C. ARNETT. Judge of Probata for Keiahaw County 1 - - \"'JL. .. / . a advertising a few days ago The Qastonia Gazette carried an article reprinted from The Janesville, Wisconsin, Gazette, telling about the values and virtues of advertising. "Advertising took oatmeal out of the barrel in which mice slept and placed It In clean packages. So It did to prunes and pickles. It took the 6rang? from the tee of,the Christmas stocking, and made it a nation's fruit food. It made the public finicky about the kind of bread it bought. It put dresses on the market and took away the uncertainty of what to wear. Advertising raised vthe standard of living in millions of homes. "What made a nation drink tomato juice and aslf for canned pineapple? What made the people want canned soups and freshly baked crackers and cookies in packages? Surely not by making better cakes, cookies and crackers than anyone else but by first making good foods and then telling the stlgmatic world about it in type and picture. But to get back to our mutton this time the sheep is Tug?well. He would go back to the days l of the town crier-if to anything at All. The above two paragraphs quoted from the Janesvillb paper gives an idea of the drift of the article. How any merchant can argue about advertising is beyond us, in the face of such facts as listed above. More potent arguments can.be found nearer home. These are flrtns In Gastonia which have been made by advertising and nothing else. They have outtripped their competitors because they believe in advertising and have practiced It. Their record since coming to Gastonia proves that. There is no other way to account for It. They will tell you so. And yet there are merchants who will argue to the advertising solicitor that advertising does not pay. We have only to point them to certain well established firms and stores which have exploded that idea long ago. There are two kinds of values, says the Janesville paper that which Is Inherent in the article and the mind value. Mind value is the thing which makes two women argue over the respective merits, of cheese, fur coats, or flowers. Advertising Impresses on the mind the certain things in life that may please. There would be no national distribution of a thousand items of merchandise if it were not for advertising. What advertising has done for shaving creams, toilet soaps, razor blades, tooth paste, shirts, collars, shoes, it for any merchandise and any business. ~ Rlghty women are held under bail bonds of 110,000 each in New York, as the result of the drive against vice In that city. totting L'j.

Kver-cxpatullug l/ondon will have to submit to rigid "slimming" treatment soon as a result of schemes I to curb the city's outward growth. | City planners now envisage London I ** Tffltjr built itinhywrnwr linos -tu I moderation?to prevent It sprawling I more and tnore over the neighboring I counties. They envisage also creation I within the next year or so ut one or I possibly two greeu belts surrounding the city as a permanent means of holding In greater London's "waistline." The principal drawback In the past I to, development of skyscrapers, even of modest dimensions, has been a thlrtytlve-year-oid law limiting the height of bulldlnga In the metropolis to 100 feet. Resides, the average ilrlfon prefers a small home and garden of his own to living In upnrtmcnt houses. May Remove Restrictions. The London county council will try I ffoon to hnve the restrictive laws on building heights removed. At the same I time, blocks of new apartment houses, I still within the 100-foot limit, are cropI I'Ing up and transforming the appearI ance of some of London's most famous thorough!ares. The space-saving movement has also been prominent in the big slum-clearance schemes In some poorer districts, where huge modern flat houses are taking the place of thousands of small, tumble-down dwellings. Suburban Growth Large, Too. | Despite the erection of apartmeut houses in the heart of the capital, its suburbs are growing monthly at a I prodigious rate, which even' Londoners scarcely have grasped. It is estimated that the population of greater London Is increasing by 70,000 annually, and I that within a comparatively few years London and Its suburbs'and satellite towns will bouse a quarter of the enj tire population of this country. ! Girdle of Open Spaces. j The "greeu belt" scheme, Just proI pounded by Herbert Morrison, LaborIte leader of the London county council, envisages preservation of a girdle of open spaces around London, between the hub and outer ring of the I metropolis, to bo secured permanently against the building tide. Mr. Morrison announced that the council was prepared to spend ?2,000,000 ($10,000,I (KM)) during the next three years in helping local authorities to purchase green land. J It is hoped to create an Inner green belt In approximately a 12-mile radius of Charing Cross and an outer one at a distance of 20 miles. Each belt would be about half a mile wide. ' A survey in 1027 showed that within II miles of Charing Cross some 32,000 acres of land still remained as suitable "lungs," or open spaces. By 1030 that area had dwindled by 5,500 acres, and I In 1933 only 23,500 acres were available. . It Is estimated that In 20 years at I that rate there will he no open spaces within 11 miles of the center of LonI don. Huge Rocket Expected to > Reach Height of 25 Miles 1 Moscow.?A stratosphere rocket which?If It works?will shoot up 25 miles Into the air and then lower Itself ] safely to the ground by a parachute of peculiar design Is the latest project of I Soviet aeronautical engineers. |_ Intent lipon devising new nnd strange schemes for the exploration of the upI per air, the Soviet engineers make for j the rocket the most unusual of claims. I It will travel, according to the planj ners, at almost double the speed of sound ? 700 meters per second as | against 332. Its entire ascent - therefore will be made In 57 seconds. j Principal feature of the rocket will be an apparatus for regulation of the liquid oxygen fuel which will power the machine. Regulnr explosion of I such fuel has been the principal difficulty of all previous rocket flights, j The rocket will have apace for four I or five small scientlflc Instruments. I Large Cemetery Opened for Interment of Pet# I Reading, Pa.?The love of man for | hla dog la represented In a new ceme4 tery established near here, | Dr. Earle B. Romberger, of the Reading Veterinary hospital, had a "cemetery" on the Philadelphia pike for many years, but found that it was Inadequate. Another tract was obtained. The bodlea of more than 400 dogs, cats, a canary and a duck burled in I the original cemetery were disinterred j- and moved. to the new plot Hegdstones for the most part are uniform I In else and arranged In neat rows, a few owners purchased fairly huge stones.

[Jt " BMHnEHHHHHfflH Farmers Renewing Interest In Hogs Clemson, Feb. 8.?Hogs are agafu playing au Increasing part in furnishlug farm Income in many South Carolina count leu au muy be aeen from shipping <and feeding data from typical counties. V^even care of hoge were ehlppod from Sumter county In January," says J. M. Kleazer, county farm agent. !"Our bookings of hogs hare again assumed sufficient volume so that we cai\ ship regularly by cars again. Tops in the last 4ve cars have brought 10 1-2 centa in Richmond?that market paying 26 points over the quoted price for carlot hoge. The eighth 1036 car will move in a few days." From Orangeburg, County Agent L. B. Massey reports: "During January; 13,999 pounds of hoge have been sbld ' through the office for Heven growers for .$1,102.54. Thin it) the lurgeut poundage bandied through thin office in several months. Hoge are agaiit occupying a high plate'in contributing to the farm income of Orangeburg county. There arc more hogs on feed now than ut any time in Bovoral years." W. J. Tiller, Chesterfield county agent, reports some profitable individual sales and much increased interest. He says: "Z. B. and T. H. McCoy sold 11 head of hogs that weighed 2,555 pounds for $298.07. Willie filler, u 4-H club boy, sold nine hogs averaging 219 pounds each and brought 3195.52. The price of hogs has caused lots of opr farmers to tuqn their attention to raising a few for the market." ?? ?? Some other agents reporting brief-1 ly regarding hogs are: R. A. Jackson, Williamsburg?"From December 1 to February 1, 71 hog growers have sold cooperatively 481 hogs weighing 95,615 pounds for $8,378.72." S. W. Epps, ^ Dillon?"The indicax tionB now are that we will market more hogs frpm the county this year than ever, before." M. M. McCord, Georgetown?"With a good corn crop last year, more farmers are planning to utilize the Burplus for feeding out hogs for market." Colin McLaurln, Calhoun?D. L. Haigler, H. W. Perrow, H. C. Geiger, and J. M. ltoof are feeding out a totul of 92 hogs, which are showing nice gains." Folks will light harder and spend more money over a disputed strip of land worth a few dollars than almost anything else. In Spartanburg civil court this week, it cost the county $600 to try a case In which the little bit of land in dispute is' not worth over'$10. Judge Johnson, is reported to have sent word to the litigants that if one would make a deed to the other he would pay the $10. - The League to Combat Anti-Semetism, with headquarters in Palrls, is raising funds for the defense of David Frankfurter, confessed slayer of Wilhelm Gustoloff, Nazi leader in Switzerland. Frankfurter is a Yugoslav Jewish medical student. % Two Remedies For Lice On Calves Clemson, Feb. 15, Partners In genoral may benefit from two rtnuedies for lice on calvea given by C. G.

Newsprint Mill For The South Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 17.?With j enough contracts already underwritkeep & mill in operation for five years, southerp manufacturing of newsprint from pine appeared nearer realization tbday.
