ADS STIMULATE PROFITS
Kenneth Collins urges store executives to increase
their promotion budgets in the coming year even though
their businesses may be operating on an efficient basis.
By so doing, he says, the net profit will be immeasurably
improved.
That is sound reasoning. The enterprising adver
tiser who will go after business is bound to get it. Too
many are content to sit back when they have reached a
certain point. They feel that the added cost for promo
tion will offset any profits which might ensue.
But the advertiser who so reasons might soon find
his own business slipping. His competitors, taking ad
vantage of every opportunity to reach the consumer, will
leave him in the lurch.
Advertising should be used whenever and wherever
possible. It stimulates trade, and is one of the most po
tent pages in the country today. It is playing a signifi
cant part in restoring the nation to better times.—News

TIME SAVER
Economists ten us that every
labor saving device ultimately
makes more work for everyone
because more of the thing that is
made so easily is consumed, and
so it takes more people to make
the increased amount in the easy
way. It all sounds very compli
cated to us, and we don’t know.
We wouldn’t advocate going back
to doing everything by hand, and
we privately prefer traveling in a
car to walking, or riding a horse,
but that’s just a personal idiosyn
cracy of our own. And we believe
that a greater proportion of our
population is employed making
cars than ever worked at making
harness and carriages or buggies.
We do know of one up-to-date
time saver, however, which not
only saves time, labor and trou
ble, but results in a far better
product than was ever made by
hand. We refer to the ready mixed
vegetables that come in cans and
are being used all over the coun
try in rapidly increasing quan
tities. And we’re willing to bet
anything, from a diamond tiara
to an old silk hat, that more
mixed vegetable dishes containing
five or six vegetables are made in
a year today than were formerly
made in a hundred years by hand.
Can you conceive of an old-fash
ioned housewife cleaning and pre
paring half a dozen different vege
tables to cook in a dish like the
following
Delicious Dish
Scalloped Mixed Vegetables:
Drain the contents of a No. 2 can
mixed vegetables, turn into a but
tered baking dish, and pour over
one-half cup cream. Mix together
one-fourth cup grated cheese and
one-fourth cup buttered crumbs,
and sprinkle over top. Brown in
an oven. Makes five servings.*
Methodists Plan Fireside Program To
Aid Prohibition
Memphis, Tenn.—A fire side pro
gram for return of national prohibi
tion was considered Monday by
Southern Methodist youth.
“We must start in the home,”
they were told. “Take your mes
sage there, and then to your city,
county and state. Remember to
support those at the polls who stand
by our cause. That is the plan for
bringing about the return of na
tional prohibition.”

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
THE STRANGER
There passed a man along the street
I thought that never I should meet
So poor his clothes appeared;
So far aloof he seemed from me
I thought it safe to let him see
My scorn and so I sneered.
He asked of me the time of day.
I looked at him and turned away
And never answer made.
Thought I, why should I condescend
To such a man to play the friend?
He’s of a lower grade.
That night invited out to dine
With influential friends of mine
Across sat the self-same man, who
said:
(And oh my cheeks went flaming
red)
“I think we met today!
“We’d had a rather nasty flood.
I was besmeared with grime and mud
And ill to see, I’ll vow.”
And then he smiled and whispered
low:
“I wonder if by chance you know
What time it is right now?”
—Exchange.
MISAPPREHENSION

The Law Be Hanged, Or
Repealed
W. H. Faust
The heading of the article is
what the average citizen would
seemingly like in this glorious coun
try of ours.
In other words, the way to stop
law violation is to abrogate all law.
Why have any constituted authority,
anyway? Why stand for the Ten
Commandments today, when the
masses seem to want to violate each
one of them with impunity? Why
punish anybody for doing what they
want to do? Why have any rights
of human life or property?
People walk across our streets, and
are guilty of jaywalking, when they
know it is against the law and im
perils life and limb. People burn
leaves on our streets, and do so
knowing that a street car or some
accident can cause a sudden stop and
endanger automobiles and life as
they stop near these roaring fires.
Gasoline still burns and explodes,
even if inesponsibles do not think
so. Drivers will persist in drinking
liquor and handle the steering wheels
of highpowered cars. A man could
use a machine gun on a truck going
down a street and miss a man, but
he is bound to hit someone with as
large a missile as an automobile.
Could we not stop this worry over
stealing cars and everything else by
doing away with all law and letting
people drive as they please, take as
they please, walk where the please,
and utterly disregard all law? Of
course, a fellow who does not want
to pay his just obligations, would like
to see all laws relative to debts re
pealed. The man who loves to drink
and carouse, would like to have laws
against liquor repealed. In fact,
the lawless would all agree to re
pealing all laws, but where would
the country be if all laws were re
pealed?
Some would actually have the Ten
Commandments repealed, because
they stand in the way of the will of
lawless ones.
How are we going to stop condi
tions that cause men like Lindbergh
to go to England, where he and his
fine family may find peace of mind?
The repealists would not stop, it
seems, anywhere short of abrogating
all constituted authority. Where
would we get in an absolutely law
less world?
We are rushing around so rapidly
that we do not have time to think,
but the hit and run driver may
speedily forget the person run over;
but not so the family of the dead
person, nor the person whose long
nights are spent in agony. It is
high time for some authority to show
the lawless ones where to stop.
Comes someone today and says that
the terrible traffic accidents would
stop if we could pass laws forbidding
automobile makers to construct cars
that would run over sixty miles per
hour. But pause and think a mo
ment and see that it is not the car
that does the damage, but the irre
sponsible driver. A drunk driver
could run over a person going fifty
five miles per hour and do damage.
Going say, thirty-five or even
twenty-five miles per hour while
drunk would cause some damage.
And if one law can be passed, why
not another of similar nature? If
you can legislate sense into drivers,
why not legislate sense into drunk
ards; and if law will make a man use
more sense in the use of a car, would
not law make a man use more sense
in the use of liquor? It is high
time for our people to law
abiding for the sake of property and
life.

HOOVER WOULD LIKE TO GET
NOMINATION
Former President Herbert Hoover
is blasting away at the New Deal,
and editorial writers throughout the
country have interpreted the speech
es as proof that the Hermit of Palo
Alto, as he is called, is getting ready
to attack Democratic leaders. Since
leaving the Presidential chair, Mr.
Hoover is said to have been about as
inactive a s Notre Dame’s football
team. He has crossed the continent
twelves times, made innumerable
trips about the West, and practical
ly commuted between Palo Alto and
Chicago. Apart from brief periods
of work as n mining consultant, au
thor, and insurance company direct
or, Mr. Hoover has devoted almost
full time to his political fences. A
telephone booth would hold all the
important GOP politicians with whom
he has neither conferred nor cor
responded. In his palatial home at
Palo Alto, Calif., his offices occupy,
seven rooms, and he has a large
staff of clerks and secretaries to
keep up with the news of the outside
world. His last speech furnished no
final answer to the question, “Does
he want to run again?” but the guess
is that he would like the 1936 Re
publican nomination if he can get it;
otherwise, he wants at least to be
the picker of the nominee.
BOYHOOD PRIVATIONS
He was just the doting father; of his
children fond and proud,
Half defending, half excusing little
freedoms he allowed.
And he gave the same old reason:
“I have always hoped to spare
My children from the burdens which
my shoulders had to bear.”
And I know that when he said it he
believed he spoke the truth,
As he thought about the trials and
the hardships of his youth.
“I would keep their childhood hap
py,” he repeated, and I smiled,
For most men who have succeeded
think they suffered as a child.
And I said: “I do not doubt you.
In those days of long ago
You had many a little duty which
your boys will never know;
But today you’re hale and hearty
and for business prime and fit,
So those hardships you remember
didn’t hamper you a bit.”
Boys and girls are merry-hearted.
It’s the grown-ups as a rule
Who remember, ho, so sadly, that
they had to walk to school.
It’s some fond and doting father
who sits weeping o’er a list
Of the real or fiancied pleasures
which he merely thinks he miss
ed.
And those grim and dreadful duties
which the dads today recall
Were the simple tasks of boyhood
that are romance to us all.
—Selected.
GOOD CHEER
Jesus continually preached the
gospel of good cheer. Carlyle once
said: “Give me a man who sings at
his work,” and when Solomon said:
“A merry heart doeth good like
medicine,” he gave expression to a
fundamental law of physical well
being.
If one’s body functions well, it is
easy to be optimistic and full of
hope, but if the secretions of the
body become clogged and fail to
function properly it makes of one
an incorrigible pessimist. We be
come gruff and cross and sour on
account of a bad liver, or gruffness
and sourness and ill-temperedness
cause the bad liver.
Many of the things that over
whelm us with anxiety are of minor
importance. Sometimes we grow
round shouldered carrying burdens
of the past or of the future. We
make ourselves unhappy about the
weather —because the wind is in the
east—but we can do nothing about
it. Worry drives its victims to in
sanity and suicide. It generates
poison, upsets digestion and taints
the blood! —Florida Christian Advo
cate.
THAT WAY.
“Pardon me,” said the stranger,
“are you a resident here?”
“Yes,” was the answer, “I’ve been
here goin’ on 50 years. What kin I
do for you?”
“I am looking for a criminal law
yer,” said the stranger. “Have you
any here?”
“Well,” said the other, “we’re
pretty sure we have, but we can’t
prove it.”

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT LAUDS
OBJECTIVES OF CC CAMP
The men of the Civilian Conserva
tion Corps are young. They are
being made healthy and vigorous by
their work in the forests. They rep
resent America’s future. Their
work is guided by older hands who
have the cumulative forestry knowl
edge and ideal of the past sixty
years. From its beginning in the
Department of Agriculture sixty
years ago, forestry in the United
States has moved steadily toward
bringing about wise use of our forest
lands. Now, through the Civilian
Conservation Corps, forestry is help
ing to shape the destiny of both, and
thus contributing materially to our
national security.
Forests, like people, must be con
stantly productive. The problems of
the future of both are interlocked.
American forestry efforts must be
consolidated, and advanced.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
ATTRACTIONS OF COUNTRY
LIFE
Sometimes a great deal may be
suggested by a few words. A case in
point is the following brief letter
from Mrs. R. L. Baugh, of Texas, re
printed from The Progressive Farm
er, which paints a picture of country
life, calculated to cause homesick
ness in any one who has lived in a
similar community and no longer
does so:—
“I love the community in which
we live, the community singings we
have once a month, the community
Thanksgiving dinner we have once a
year. I love our all-day quiltings,
when each one takes a dish of food
to add to the bountiful repast, and
I love the banter and fun while gath
ered around the quilt. I love to go
’possum hunting across the wooded
hills with my two youngsters on
starry fall nights, and to go with
the men folks to cut a bee tree and
bring home pans of golden honey. I
love to swap seeds and plants with
my neighbors. I love to have a
crowd of young people come home
with us from church to eat dinner
and spend the rest of the day in
merry laughter and conversation and
singing.”

THE NEW LEAF
He came to my desk, with quivering
- lip.
The lesson was done.
“Have you anew leaf for me, dear
Teacher?
I have spoiled this one!”
I took his leaf, all soiled and blot
ted,
And gave him anew one, all unspot
ted,
Then into his tired heart I smiled:
“Do better now, my child!”
I went to the throne, with trembling
heart.
The year was done.
“Have you a New Year for me, dear
Master?
I have spoiled this one!”
He took my year, all soiled and blot
ted,
Then into my tired heart He smil
ed :
“Do better now, my child!”
