There are mere advertising schemes and more advertising solicitors to pester and harass merchants and business men than ever before. 4. . \ • Some time ago a coup’e of pretty girls solicited the Enquirer for an advertisement to be placed on a cur tain of an auditorium in a high gchool. The cost would be only $7.50 for a small space and $10 to $15 for larger space. * Because I did not see fit to threw away several perfectly good dollars, the girls threatened to boycott, pr maybe girlcott, the ,old Enquirer. The merchants of Mcnroe have thrown away thousands of dollars in placing lettering which no one reads on high school curtains. " \ There is another species of adver tising wherein the merchant is vic timized. Seme young woman comes to town and organizes a group to pro duce a play. School auditorium is used for which no rent is paid. The beys and girls do all the work and the young woman get s practically all the pay. But program s must be printed and the merchants of the town are solicited to carry “advertise ments” on the sheet—sometimesj , as pecans starred on a sphee less than muc ^ as worth. Then the au- an inch long, an evidence that money j dience furnished program, in the grows on the very trees in Blackville.' dar ^ ened use w ^ ere 110 one can rea d l | the program much less the advertise- “An experience of thirty-five years ; ments. Merchants all too often are in the geneial mercantile business threatened with boycott if they do ha, convinced me that the credit sys tem does m re to keep merchants, farmers, newspaper people and all working folk* poor than all other causes put together” was remarked in our hearing a few days ag". About two month* ag while two little children of Mr. Gu* Hutto, living 1 near Olar, were at play the older dropped a laige round tobacco tag in the mi uth of the younger wh swal lowed the t;.g. After forty-three day* suffering fur the child and uneasiness for the parent*. *he tag wa, thrown up and the htt e one i* ail *ight aga n. not “come across.” On a recent day a fellow came to the Enquirer office saying he would walk blindfolded the cornice of the highest building in town. He said the merchants* would be glad to cany large advei tbement* in the pUper because of the big (rowds that would c. me to town to ^*e the stunt. But a crowd that ha* only mo: bid curiosity never put* any money in the merchants’ till. In thi. I am ie- minded of the late Charlie Newman, who operated Monr e'g first bakery. To help in the sale of bread. Newman purchased a monkey. The monkey attracted a large crowd of b-»jr* and men to the atoie. But when the vi«l- t rs purchased no loaves.

Enquirer. ’’Eveaiaf Red” Apt to Be True The Jipgle about “evening red and morning gray." which also Is Inter preted In another widely-known couplet beginning, “a red sky at night Is a sailor's delight,” Is apt- to he true, a weather bureau man said. Tills belief is based on scientific facts' about at mospheric conditions. The meteorol ogist explained It like this: The red color caused by the setting sun is not due to the same conditions as the red color when the sun is rising. The earth has been warmed all day and by sun set the earth Is warming the nir. caus ing an uprush of air and moisture. The rays shining through this cause red ness. However, iri the morning no warm air is rising from the earth and If the sun’s light shows red. it is be cause the air already is full of mois ture and !therefon» rain is probable. Seven Wise Men The names of the seven wise men of Greece include Solon, Chilo, Pittacus,, Bias, Periander (in place of w'hom some give Epimenides) i Cleobulus and Thales. They were the authors of the celebrated mottoes Inscribed in later days in the Delphian temple. The mottoes were as follows: “Know thyself."—Solon. “Consider the end."—Chilo. “Know thy opportunity.”—Pittacus. “Most men are bad.”—Bias. “Nothing is Impossible to industry." —Periander. “Avoid excesses."—Cleobulus. “Suretyship is the precursor of ruin."—Thai<*s. Political Hokum. Butterflies’ Sight It Is believed that butterflies can sec by ultra violet light more than by the gray mixture of colors which we call daylight. Ultra violet rays are shorter in wave lensth than those colors of the visible spectrum. *o that they can render minute objects more visible and show up ordinary colors in a dif ferent form. This principle has been used by the European police to detect nHerations In the figures of check*, for ’unless the same ink is employed for the faking the added eoi„ r only look* the same when studied by day light.—Montreal Herald. Dr. W. 34. J ne» will preach in Williston next Sunday. The Rev. W. R. Dav.*, who ha* been pastor there for the past ten yeais, closed hta past-rate in that field last Sun lay.

SMITH AA a »\ a g « r That’s when a low-priced car begins to show the stuff it’s made of! And that’s when you’ll really begin to appreciate what it means to own a Chevrolet: How much better off you are, for instance, with a Fisher body—a staunch, solid, wood- and-steel* body that’s built rigid and tight, and stays that way. How much money you “What a sweet-running motor, Jack. Is that speedometer right: 30,000 miles?” “Sure. That’s nothing lor a Chevrolet. It’s good for that much mileage and plenty more.” save with a SIX—that uses the least amount of gas and oil of any full-size car. How much more economical it is to have a cushion- balanced engine, free from wearing, tearing vibration. Yes—at 30,000 miles, a Chevrolet Six owner looks back with satisfaction —on many months of saving money. And looks forward with confidence—to many tens of thousands of care-free miles to come! *Stael alone ia not enoujh. CHEVROLET MOTOR CONft>ANY, DETROIT, MICH. Pricea range from $443 to $363 f. o. b.
