GUPPORT THE AD CLUB.
The Athens Ad Club recently organised in tills city
has not received the encouragement which is due an organ
isation of this character. However new life Is being In
jected in the club and a meeting will be held today for the
purpose ot reviving and reorganizing the club which ran be
'made to contribute much towards file upbuilding of this
city.
Ad clubs have proven great boosters for communities
and builders of cities. The dub here can accomplish much
for tbo betterment of the community with proper ac tivities
on the part of its members. It Is an organization to not
only encourage commercial interests to use the various
forms of advertising, hut it is an organization to aid in
every manner possible all movements for the good of the
locality In which clubs organiz. Wonderful benefits
have been brought to communities by these clubs and
many undertakings not in the province of commercial
organization havo been successfully directed by ad clubs.
Besides it is an educational instltutifji for the mer
chant, banker and manufacturer. It aids the business man
to advertise Judiciously and discriminate!/. Many concerns
over-advertlse; many concerns under advertise and many
do not advertise at uil. In such cases all concerned suffer
losses which could he remedied by proper advice and train
ing given by experienced and professional advertising men.
Preparation of copy for advertising is one of the most es
sential points for successful advertising. Knowing the
value of space and knowing what to say in the given space
and how to have copy displayed with attractive type and
borders is of the utmost value to the advertiser. The fake
advertiser is a menace to any community; deceiving state
ments Inserted Jn advertising matter of any character
leads to failure in business. Misleading statements as to
value of goods advertised will soon react and the advertiser
on this lino will soon learn that Increased business will
not continue unless every article advertised measures up
to clalpis inserted in advertisements.
The* Ad Mon's Club is a national organization and is
recognized throughout the nation as'one of the most Im
portant clubs fu commercial circles. The members of ad
clubs do not cbnflne- their work to newspaper advertising
alsroe or to newspaper men as members, but the member
ship is made up from leading advertisers and business men
who believe In community building. Publiclt/ftas proven
Its worth in business and politics and with (the proper
amount of publicity couched in proper language results
will be obtained.
Every business man In Athens should become a mem
ber of the Athens Ad Men’s Club. Today you are Invited
to be present at the meeting and Join in doing your part
in the building of a Greater city. Be prosed* today and
show your Interest In an organization which has possiblli
ties forvuuch service to this city and section. ..

“TAKING CHARGE IN GEORGIA."
The Banner stands for the enforcement pS the law; it
stands for the upholding of the courts and for the support
of the officers of the law. but we do not ugr*8 wlfjbp.tkiulc
who liMve gone so far as to suggest that the
•rnmem should “take charge la (Georgia." It.Sn tW That
several cases have,.recently been developed in this state
which have been proved tQ be peonage. No law-abiding
citizen will endorse or undertuko.to.protect any One guilty
f such an offense, but We do noi believe flie time has
come or that the occasion demands that we turn over the
enforcement of the state federal laws to outsiders. A
very small percentage of citizens have been proved guilty
of violating the peonage act of the federal government.
Georgians are as mhch opposed to such violations as
citizens in any state in tile union. Kor that reason, we feel
that such an act on the part of our state government in
calling on the federal government to ‘‘take charge In Geor
gia” is a reflection on the manhood and honesty of our
citizenship and that tin* people yf this state are honest
enough to munage tlie affairs of the courts and Jo enforce
the laws without calling on outside help. It may he as
sured that any one tried and found guilty of the charge
of peonage will he dealt with severely and as the law
provides. There will be no favorites in such cases, hut
the verdict will be of guilt Just as was returned by a New-
ton county Jury.
Before we turn our state over to outsiders, let us con
elder the results: Such action would not bring speedier
trials nor would it mete out justice any quicker. Our
citizens know local conditions; they know the character
istlrs of our people and how to deal with them. Uw en
forcemeat can best be preserved through our <twn people
directing and controlling In the conduct of the courts.
Again, before wo ugree to "tuking charge of Georgia,’
liy outsiders, let u« see to it that the laws are enforced
and that every citizen either white or colored is given
fair deal uml equitable treatment.

SUNK WITHOUT TRACE.
ENCOURAOINQ REPORTS, i
Th« dally cotton letters trom the leading cotton far
toir, of the country indicate that the (ariueri and cotton
growers have actually reduced cotton acreage onuthlrd
of last year's crop.
This Information la reliable and It may be expected
that the price of cotton will advance rapidly. IBesIdes
reports from manufacturer- shew that there ia a demand
for cotton goods, and It Is believed that the American mills
will use a great portion of the surplus. i-r«p now on hand
to say nothing of the demand tor cotton which w!|l arise
»o soon as trade relations are established with dermany
and other foreign countries.
Tho government report will be announced within the
next thirty days and If that report shows a thirty to fdrty
per cent decrease in acreage, the price of cotton will ad
vance and remain firm even with tilt* gathering of the
new crop.
Better times are coming and the farmer who has cotton
on hand Is hound to secure a protltahle prlca'.for It. Ot
course It Is not expected that the price of cotton will ever
again reach forty cents, conditions do not Justify such a
price, but there Is no question about the price reaching
twenty cents and In all probability reach twenty-five cents
k the pound.
Money ta easier in the markot and can be bought for
Peas Interest than at any time since the war. England has
reduced the rate of Interest from 7 to 6>,4 per cent and
conditions in that country are improving, the coal strike
having been practically settled.
In fact a bright prospect is hovering over the country
and before we realize It, normal conditions will be restored
nnd th-i machinery of the nation speeding along without a
bobble.
Keep the spirit of good times foremost In all your
dealings nnd It Is hound to work out for better times and
better things in all lines.
AN AMERICAN 8HIP.
(Savannah Pressl
The steamship George Washington, which ta the largest
American merchant vessel evqr to fly the American flag,
hoe been remodeled at a codt of $1,000,000 and will soon
take the seas.
Now he Washington was one of the veaaels of the
North Gqrmau Lloyd which was seized during the war by
the Untied States government. It carried thousands ot
American, soldiers abroad and brought many of them
back. It was the ship which Woodrow Wilson used on his
two visits to Europe and it was also the choice of King
Albert end Queen Elizabeth of Belgium when they came to
the United States.
When this magnificent vessel takes the waters again
next August It .will have accommodations tor 3.000 passeng
ers. The swimming pool Is to be the largest ever Installed
on a steamship. The Installation of billiard tables has

Out of every dollar you give to the government In taxes
more than ninety cents goes to pay for pnst and future

ThW Is the most striking feature or an analysis of the gov
ernment’s expenditures made by Edward B. Rosa, chief
physicist, of tho United Stales Bureau of Standards. Dr.
Rosa has figured out the share ot each of us, man, woman

. Let ua diyitl'j It about aa the government xpont It in
1920. Count’off thirty-seven dollars arid one-half and right
on top of thut put an additional pile or twelve dollars and
another half. Thut fifty dollars we may charge to war,
past and to come, the larger pile to hills for the past, thi
smaller sum to the current needs of the army and navy.
Taai left the government $3.50 to distribute among tin
rest of Its varied activities. Of that, $2 went to “primary
government functions," executive, legislative, aiui judicial
and about a duilar left and with that we carried op th>

WOMAN HITS STRAIGHT FROM SHOULOER.
I Editor nnd Publisher.)
"What's the uao of me advertising? Everybody In this
town knows me and- my store."
The Pine Bluff (Ark.) Advertising Club offered a prlzi
of $25 for the best essay on "Why I Buy Outside of Pin.
Bluff.” A woman, Mrs. Robert Rogers, won tho $26. No
ticc how she gives it to the local merchants, straight from
the shculder. She wrote:
“One reason why I buy outside of Plne.Btult Is tl’.<
lack of advertising among the merchants.
"The people of today buy through advertising. In Pine
(Bluff and out. We have catalogues sent with descriptions
of goods, and while there may be Just the same In-Pine
Blt^ff, we don't knew where It Is or who has it. The mer
chant says: 'Why don't you look for It. Here we are, at
your service.'
“True enough, but we all follow the advertisement col
umns, and a good many times are led out of town by pa
llors nnd catalogues of other cities.
"Take tho working girls, and there are many of them
who havo not the time to go from place to place hunting
certain articles. We have the catalogues and papers be
fore us, and know Just where we can get the articles
wattled. So we sit down and order certain things sent cn
approval, and one satisfactory purchase makes another
"This Is very much easier than spending timo and
energy hunting from store to store Tor articles that are
neither displayed er advertised.
‘Another reason Is incompetent clerks. No merchant
would think ot having an untrained bookkeeper or sten
ographer, and yet we have to put up with untrained sales
people, some even lacking courtesy, others in knowledgf
of goods. Why not have meetings where the salespeople
could hear good lectures on selllpg methods. Every cus
tomer Is different. One should learn how to approach
prospective customers.
"Courtesy sells as mm li goods as advertlsiMk , Am
ether thing, so few know bow to show their' (todw. F*>r
instance. In a place like Pine Bluff I should say nine-tenths
of the customers are known to the salepeople. Yet we
go In and are misled instead ot being shown what is with
in oqr means. We are shown some very handsome, high
priced artlclgs or else something tpo cheap, and we cotne
awr.-ty dissatisfied. •
'"We then pick up a paper or catalogue from another
town amt eee just what we want and order it. The mail
order houses try to please and thereby catch a good deal
of the tradq that might be kept In Pine Blufl."
Another thing this essay proves: There's no good In
eaylng: "There's no. use in advertising to women; they'll
Shop, around anyway." This woman didn't, and the fair
presumption Is that hunureuu and thousands of her sisters
In Pine t lufl and other towns are following her example.
It's the advertiser who gets the business, locally aa well
as nationally.
