A Sensible Cigarette
A Sensible Cigarette delivers COMFORT
If you think of Fatimas as being
in a class by themselves, it must be
due to one and only one reason?
Fatimas actually deliver a service
that no other cigarette can give.
If you are smoking Fatimas you
have discovered this. You have
I.V..
found that their delicately balanced
Turkish blend is comfortable. That
is why Fatimas leave you feeling
fine and fit even after an unusually
long-smoking day.
Surely ? a comfortable smoke
must be a sensible smoke.

WANTS SEED OF HOG PACKING

Learning through reading the nows
papers what a boonVto farmers and
others a packing plant is, a Gates
county farmer has sent the follow?
ing letter to the Wilmington Cham?
ber of Commerce:
"I have been Informed that you
have the hog packing plant. Please
let me no when you have the seed &
when to so it."
The letter was referred to Mr. W.

Plenty ot Time.
A man stood waiting for a suburban
car. A newsboy asked: "Paper,
mister?"
The man muttered a "No" and the
boy went away.
Two minutes later the boy ap?
proached and asked: "Paper?"
"No," said the man angrily, "I told
I you I don't want a paper."
In a few minutes the newsboy re?
turned. Ho looked at the waiting man
and asked: "Shine, mister?"
This time the man replied with a
roaring, thundering "No." The boy
departed.
A fourth time the newsboy came
back to the man and in meekest ac?
cents inquired: "Please, mister, what
time Is It?" I
The man unbuttoned his overcoat,
:?ulled out his watch, and then replied:
'Ten minutes of one."
"At one o'clock you can go to hell,"
uhoutcd the boy and Started to run.
Tbc infuriated man tcok after him.
T| e boy dodged around a corner and
pad a policeman, but when the man
cams running the blus?coat decided

Tracking Development in Beaufort
Proved Very Remunerative.'
At a recent meeting in Beaufort,
according to press dispatches, "much
was said about the trucking indus?
try In Beaufort county and the won?
derful development it is capable of.
Mr. Kred Whipple gave figures tr
substantiate that the largest retui..
ever received from the crops from
one acre of land were received from
an acre on his place, which yielded
$6,000 in a single year, and which
produced so much marketable ma?
terial that the railroad companies!
roceived over $1,000 to haul the pro- j
duce from that acre to market.
"Other Instances of unusual yields'
and returns were mentioned, among j
others the experience of one truck
farmer in buying a 90-acre truck
farm for $30,000 and making enough
on the land (most of it made on
about twenty acres of the ninety) to
pay for the place in ninety days?
more than $.??00 a day."?OrangehUtg

What Is the most Important at?
tribute of a soldier?
Good feet? No.
Good eyesight? No.
Good brains? No.
What then? Good teeth.
A soldier may have good feet, good
eyesight, and good brains, but if he
has bad teeth, he can't cat. If he
cant' cat he can't inarch near enough
to the enemy to see him and use his |
brains to light him.
How does a soldier got good teeth?
By having good teeth in childhood,
How do children keep good teeth?!
Through being taught by their moth?
er to keep Hum." teeth clean and hav
(ng their teeth looked after while
hey are growing. Thta makes good
teeth for future soldiers.

Advertising Beats Circular Leiters.
John Lee Mahln, a Chicago adver?
tising expert) says that if merchants
would use the same copy contained
in a circular lettor and place it in
their local paper, they would secure
greater circulation at less expense.
The cost of postage, paper, and labor
in a circular lotter will buy consid?
erable newspaper space, if some
merchants would put the same care?
ful thought into their newspaper
ads that they employ in Writing It
circular letter, they would get still
more for their money.?Ceo. A. Star?
