DOES IT PAY TO
ADVERTISE?
The most common question put to
an editor is: "Do you believe adver
tising pays?”
To answer in the affirmative is only
natural for any editor. His bread and
butter is derived from the income re.
ceived for advertising space. But to
enter into detail in an effort to con.
vince the inquirer is an act that is
noble in purpose. So many items
stand directly in the path of an effort
to explain the point to decision that
is convincing. Under the circumstan
ces, action, instead of words, must be
the factor contributing to the positive
proof of the affirmative answer.
Advertising is an investment in a
business. It is an art that requires
considerable thought and study be.
cause of the many different forms to
which it can be used. The outstanding
form of advertising is that of using
the columns of a newspaper as a me.
dium of reaching into the homes of
buyers and prospective customers. No
other form of advertising is as sure,
shot and permanent as the home for
it lingers in the home long after other
form of conveying the message have
been forgotten.
Any form of advertising is better
than none at all. But, a message on a
hand hill is soon destroyed for hand
bills are substance of litter that mar
the appearance of a well kept home.
Consequently hand bills are som de.
stroyed. Radio carries the message
directly into the home but only cars
that are attentive receive the message
Circulars or form letters reach the ad.
dressee in a personal form but only
the add'-essee in all probability will
read the message. Stamped messages
on gifts, etc., become more a hidden
ot secret code than a valuable adver
tising medium.
Advertising in a newspaper reaches
every member in a home and everv
person who visits that home. When
one member of a family reads a news
paper he carefully lays it aside for
someone else to read. Every news,
paper carries a message that often
results in fhe filing of newspaper For
future reference.
People do not have a set time to
read their newspapers. They can read
a small part during a few idle mo.
fhents, return later and continue read,
ing, each time the newspaper adver.
tisement appears once more before
their eyes. Newspaper advertising is
a medium that can never be excelled.
Fish All You Please
With Hook And Line
Atlanta, Ga., May 3, —“Fish all
you piease with hook and line and
enjoy it all you can; but be sure
you get the permission of the land,
owner first.” This generous expres.
sion of good wishes from Game and
Fish Commissioner Peter S. Twitty
will no doubt be appreciated by most
Georgia fishermen who will be glad
to heed his warning to respect the
property rights ot the landowner.
According to the Commissioner,
many complaints from landownerc
are reaching his office that fisher,
men are fishing and trespassing on
their lands without permission. “We
are. glad of the opportunity to help
our fishermen friends by permitting
hook and line fishing throughout the
year, because we knew that many
families were in need and would
have to depend on the fish they
caught for meat to eat; hut the con.
cession we made by allowing hook
and line fishing does not mean that
one may fish on the lands of another
without the owner’s consent. On the
contrary, the owner must consent,
otherwise, the fisherman is subject
to prosecution,” advises the Com.
missioner. “We do not prosecute in
cases of this kind, except upon com.
plaint of the landowner, but where
a landowner objects to fishing on
his land and requests the Depart,
ment’s cooperation, it is our duty to
prosecute the offender. If landow.
ners who have been imposed on in
this manner will notify this Depart,
ment or its nearest game warden,
we will give them our very best co.
operation. However, we hope no fur.
ther prosecutions will be necessary
and that the fishermen of the state
will respect the property rights of
their friends and neighbors.”

IN THE FARMER’S
OWN HANDS
The farmers of the country are
naturally encouraged by the fact
that the present Administration, like
the last, is giving every effort to
stabilize their industry, raise prices,
and broaden and improve markets.
These efforts will doubtless meet
with a degree of success. But the
farmer should not take the attitude
that the matter is now out of his
hands. He should not seek to lean
on the shoulders of the Administrat.
ion and await results. As President
Roosevelt has said, government farm
relief is frankly experimental and is
but temporary. It is an attempt to
avert a crisis and to carry the farm,
er through an exceedingly difficult
period, in the long run, permanent
farm relief must come from the far.
mer himself.
It will come through organization,
through mass effort—in brief, thru
development and extension \t the
cooperative plan. It will come thru
the buying and selling power that
only collective action ran give. The
achievements of American industry
in the past were largely due to in.
telligent cooperation, and business
is cooperating now in the work of
recovery. The farmer must adopt the
same plan. If he produces and sells
as an individual only, he will be for.
ever at the mercy of those who buy
from him. If he joins with his fellows
in a strong, loyally supported coop,
erative, he can meet the middleman
on his own ground.
The cooperative movement has
done fine things. It Is withstanding

FOOL’S GOLD.
. i
Many an experienced prospector has been fooled
by finding a worthless substance which the old
timer calls ‘‘Fool’s Gold.”
The other day, in the bank, a man remarked that
he often thought the nearest thing to “Fool’s Gold’
is hidden money.
First of all, it loses the splendid earning power
of interest which it would gain if deposited in the
bank.
Secondly, it is always in danger of fire or theft.
The history of years is dotted with the story of
thousands and thousands of dollars of hidden mon
ey lost by people who thought they were doing the
right thing.
May we urge you in all sincerity. Select our
bank or any bank you wish, but in your own best
interest and that of your children if you have any
—if you have hidden money, put it in a bank where
it will be safe and earn interest for you.
