Alx>ut u month Publisher Mc-
Sweeney of the Allendale County
Citizen, the Hampton County Guar
dian andi the Jasper County Herald,
inaugurated a subscription campaign,
offerinp: a number of valuable prizes
to contestants, including the thoice of
u Ford or Chevrolet automobile. Last
week he called off the campaign be
cause of lack of interest on the part
of contestants and subscribers. Sever
al years ago the then publisher of the
Williston Way started a similar cam
paign nd wa s forced to abandon it for
a like reason. ,
We suspect that the lack of interest
on the part of contestants was engen
dered by the failure or refusal of sub
scribers to pay their just dues. And
just why any honest person will accept
a newspaper month after month and
feel no obligation whatever to pay
the publisher for the service rendered
is beyond our comprehension. It costs
good money these days to publish an
acceptable weekly newspaper and the
small subscription price charged does
not nearly cover the costs. The dif
ference must be made up from the
revenue received frtim advertising and
job printing.
And as far as "local” advertising is
concerned, it is almost as diea^i in
many towns as the proverbial dodo
and reliance is placed mostly upon
"foreign” and legal advertising. As
to job printing, many admittedly good
business men prefer to patronize out-
of-town and mail-order concerns rather
than their local printer, while at the
same time decrying the fact that sj
much of the business to which they are
entitled goes to the cities. There are
probably merchants in every town
where printshops are located who go
to printers in neighboring towns to
have them print circulars advertising
sales by which they hope to attract
heme dollars to their stores.
After all, a newspaper is a com
munity enterprise, dedicated to the
upbuilding of the community. All
other considerations aside, for that
reason alone it is entitled to the sup
port of the public—subscribers and
advertisers alike—provided, of course,
it is a newspaper worthy of the name.
(We never have been in sympathy with
the idea of “giving” the publisher an
advertisement "t.j help him out.”) The
fact that the publisher may make a
decent living if. subscribers pay their
dues and business men advertise and
buy their printing locally is incidental.
All good newspaper men use a good
part of their increased revenue to fur
ther improve their newspaper. Starv
ing them of the busines g to which they
are entitled compels the publishers to
lower the standard! of their publica
tions.
The People-Sentinel has a number
of past due subscription accounts. We-
would like to collect the money and
further improve the paper. We have
the equipment to do creditable job
printing and are always ready and
willing to meet reasonable competi
tion. We would like rhbJiave more cf
our local business men wnb profess to
believe in the trade-at-home idea to
spend their printing dollars with us
It would enable us and cur employes to
spend more with them.
A Good Resolution.
The South Carolina house of repre
sentatives last week adopted a resolu
tion endbrsing a bill introduced in the
United States senate by Senator Rey
nolds,' of North Carolina, requiring
aliens to "get American or get out.”
Under the terms of the Reynolds bill,
tall aliens convicted of crimes or who
have certain diseases or belong to or
ganizations pledged to the overthrow
of our form of government will be
promptly deported. We would like to
see an even mere stringent law—one
that would require aliens to be natur
alized within a reasonable length of
time, if they prove themselves to be
worthy citizens, or face immediate de
portation.
It has been charged that there are
hundred^ of thousands of aliens em
ployed in this country while native-
born American citizens are jobless and
that other hundreds of thousands are
on the relief rolls at the expense of
the American taxpayers. This could
not happen in any other country but
the United States, fer the instant that
an American citizen Secame an object
of charity in a foreign country he
w r ould be immediately deported. It is
claimed that Uncle Sam would have
saved millions cf dollars in relief
money if these jobless aliens had been
returned to their native lands at gov
ernment expense.
Just why we should continue to play
Santa Claus to the citizens and sub
jects of ungrateful nations is beyond
the comprehension of any reasonably
sane man. We hope that Senator Rey
nolds’ bill will be enacted—and en
forced.

Triple “C” New* Note*
--—^ —-Now C. Q.
, Lieut. C. A. Ritchie arrived on Mon
day, April 13th. He is to take com
mand of Co. 4468, replacing Capt. Ed
ward Sanders, whese tour of duty ex
pires on the 21st.
Captain Sander s will be greatly
missed by the boys. He took command
of this company when it was formed
in July 1935, and has been with it
since that time. He was always kind
and thoughtful ofHhe boys, and was
very popular with them and with the
foresters. In December he was pro
moted from the rank of 1st lieutenant
to that of captain, but he still re
mained the same. We are sorry to see
him go.
At the same time we extend a w r arm
welcome to Lieut. Ritchie. Our new
C. O. is. from Statesville, N. C., is a
1 graduate of Davidson, and has had two
other tour s of duty in the CCC. We
will work for him as we did for the
Captain.
Lieut. Cor. Dunn was here Monday
of this week for a short inspection
trip. Captain Love, of the district
quartermaster’s office was here for
one day to supervise the check up and
turn over of property incident to the
change of commanding officers.
The educational program i g going
strong with the forestry department
holding discussions, or round table
talks. Mrs. Patterson and Mr. Carter
are holding classes ’ in the school
house, and Mr. Bryan is holding meet
ings in the recreation hall and the
barracks. This week there was good
attendance in all activities. ,
The work this week was substantial
ly the same as it was last week. Ten
mei) of the camp under Mr. Edgerton
are working on tower construction.
Sometimes they work at the Barnwell
tower and sometimes at the Elko tow
er. Another 10 men under Mr. Mur
ray are engaged in constructing the
buildings around the Elko tower; this
is the “carpenter’s detail.” The bulk
of the men in this camp, about 30, are
working under Mr. ; Matthews, on a
truck trail. There are in addition, a
couple of men detailed to Mr. Nevils,
for work around camp, the army and
forestry overheads.
At the side camp at Luray, Mr.
Padgett is in charge o( about 30 men
working on a truck trail, and some
times, when the weather does not per
mit work on the truck trails, tearing
tibwn the unused barracks in that
i* ■
camp. The lumber from these build
ings will be salvaged and used to con
struct smokehouses, etc., around vari
ous towenrs. 1
At the side camp at Stokes, two
crews under Mr. Pearson and Mr,
Padget, are both engaged in the con
struction cf a truck trail. The work
there has been very slow lately,
because the trail ha s been through
very low places. For several hun-
dfred yards a fill is being made, and
will be covered with “corduroys” be
fore any sort of road can be made.
The water in places is three or four
feet deep.

KING of Them AH
Foremost Highflyer, 1935 Grand Champion Jertey Bull.
Owned by A. H. Go**, The Oaklands, Ann Arbor, Mich.
T HERE are plenty of Jersey bulls in America, but only one
among all the thousands, stands out as National Champion.
Foremost Highflyer won 1935 honors at the National Dairy
Show, St. Louis, Mo.—a magnificent creature to which Nature
gave the vital spark, the perfect natural balance of all the elements
that go to make a champion. Wonderful top line, great body,
fine neck, shoulders, big barreled, good on his legs Foremost
Highflyer had everything!
Most bulls are just bulls, average strong, average good, but just
plain ordinary bulls. There is only one Foremost Highflyer. He
stands out the King of them all—the champion.
i#
The champion bull is Nature at her best—one of Nature’s
wonder creations. Favored by Nature, with her priceless gift of
perfect natural balance, the champion is almost beyond price,
while another bull that may look a little like him—well, he’s just
bull, that’s all.
And hfre is another wonder-creation of Nature—Natural
Chilean Nitrate. Like the champion bull, Natural Chilean is
favored by Nature with that priceless gift of natural balance—
natural blend of many elements such as boron, calcium,
manganese, etc., over and above its nitrogen. Nature gave the vital
spark to this nitrogen fertilizer by blending into it these vital
impurities. Nature herself aged it, cured it ... tliat’s w hy Natural
Chilean is the natural food for your crops.
Natural Chilean contains almost two score of major
and minor elements such as boron, magnesium, manga
nese, iodine, calcium, potassium, etc.—each a vital ele
ment in growth and healthy development of plants.
