The man who refuses to consider it as a possible expedient, simply shuts his eyes on one of the problems of his business. He might as well ignore the banks as sources of credit when he has need to borrow capital. On the other hand, the

man who looks to advertising to checkmate all weaknesses and shortcomings of his business and to carry it along to t victory despite these, has a childlike faith in the miraculous. Advertising will not make his product or his service any better than they are; but it will bring him the full benefits of their merits. It will not eliminate wastefulness in his factory or his store; but it will reduce his cost to operate. It will not make illogical selling methods successful; but it will assist good selling methods, and often point the way for improving them. Advertising is the most inexpensive motive power that the manufacturer or merchant can buy today. It is a form of stimulus that brings excellent returns on the investment

FISH KILLED BY THOUSANDS Kingston. N. C., July 25.—Thousands >f dead fish were washed up on the North Carolina coast recently. Coast residents have next determined the cause. One opinion in that poison gas left >ver from the world war was dumped nto the ocean off a neighboring port, mother that some ocean-bottom phenomenon occured by which the oxy;en was removed from the water and he thosuands of fish in the affected area were “drowned.” The numbers, were too great to permit of entertainment of a theory hat unscrupulous fisherman dynamit ■d the fish, finding that they had slain more than they could handle. Magistrate Kenneth F. Foscue, of his city, saw the beach lined with the fish between New River inlet and Bogue sound. Large dog sharks, were numerous, Foscue said, while he saw one litigator in the shoal waters. Even a crocodile came ashore. Where the crocodile could have come from was a complete mystery. The species is entirely foreign to the region. MONROE NEWS Rev. Fink of Fort Wayne filled the pulpit at the Winchester U. B. church last Sunday.
