Advertising Greatest
Trade Elixir of Life
§
Advertising is a ministering servant.
It runs errands for you.
It markets your products.
It brings the man to your office whom you
wish tb employ.
It brings customers to the store or shop if it
tells a convincing story and offers somathing
worth while.
It is a willing, tireless worker.
It never fails to do its duty.
It sometimes fails to do the work assigned
to it, but it fails when it is assigned to an im¬
possible job-, just as you fail when you are as¬
signed to turn over an immovable object.
If you are spending money for advertising,
study advertising.
Get the correct idea of what advertising is
supposed to do.
Do not give it impossible tasks.
If you have something you feel sure you could
sell if you could only get some one needing the
article to see it pnd price it, then advertise it.
Advertising will sell it.
If you have something you have failed time
after time to sell, those who have seen the ar¬
ticle, and priced it, do not assign advertising to
the task. Advertising can do no more than you
can do in person.
The News and Sun is not seeking advertising
from those who have nothing to advertise.
We want the business of those who have some
thing they can advertise with prefit.
if we could get half the advertising in our
territory that can .be done at a profit to the ad¬
vertiser we would have to enlarge the paper m
stead of thinking of reducing the size.
The advertiser must have imagination.
! irst, he must get a vision of the seven thousand
people who read the Daily News and Sun. He
must be able to sense their w,nu Lheir de¬
sires. Then he must present that which he of¬
fers tor sale in a form that will be tempting. Ad¬
vertising should show it just as the front win
do^ show attractive merchandise-attractive in appear¬
ance, in quality, and attractive in
price.
Such advertising will move merchandise.
These are days in which advertising columns
are being watched for new styled, and new prices.
To be absent from the advertising columns
may give the suspicion that you are-p
Without new merchandise;
Without new prices;
Without the selling spirit.
Sap’s rising.
Peachtrees almost blooming.
Spring is coming.
Give your business the greatest trade elixir
known to man.

THREE AND A HALF MILLION
CHILDREN IN EASTERN AND
CENTRAL EUROPE HAVE NO
ALTERNATIVE TO DISASTER
EXCEPT AMERICAN AID.
Rev. J. Marion Stafford, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, has
been appointed chairman at the Eur¬
opean Relief Council for Spalding
county, and any donations made for
this worthy call will be cheerfully re¬
ceived and promptly forwarded to the
proper destination.
Herbert Hoover, who is chairman of
the European Relief Council and is
doing a great work in raising money
for relief of these poor, starving
children, estimates that three and a
half million boys and girls in Eastern
and Central Europe have no alterna¬
tive to disaster between now and the
next harvest except American aid.
The cry for help that comes froYn
Europe is the most pitiful that the
world has ever known, and Americans
in large numbers are contributing
liberally to relieve the suffering there
from hunger and the need of clothing
to keep the bodies of the poor, starv¬
ing children of that country.
Mr. Stafford announces that any blie
desiring to make a contribution can
send same to him and he will see : that
the money goes to the aid of suffering
humanity in Europe.

DEAR WEST EL
t
UPON HIS TESTIMONY
STATE WILL RELY FOR ESTAB¬
LISHING THE PERSONNEL OF
LYNCHING PARTY NEAR JAS¬
PER, ALA.
HAMILTON, Ala., Feb. 2.—By
daybreak today crowds were making
their way toward the county court
house in expectation Leatle West, star
witness for the State in the trial of
Robert L. Lancaster, national guards¬
man, describes the lynching of Wil¬
liam Baird, miner, near Jasper, in

CLOUDY TODAY AMD WORTHY'
OLD GROUND HOG COMES OUT
OF HOLE AND DOES NOT SEE
SHADOW, WHICH MEANS WIN
TER IS BROKEN.
*" f ‘ r*
It waa a trifle cloudy today and the
old Ground Ho*- came oat of his hole
and failed to aee his shadow, which
ia an indication that the backbone of
winter has been broken and spring is
on the way,
Griffmites who put faith in Hie
tradition concerning the g. b., hoped
that it would be so cloudy that the
ground hog would be unable to see
even the faintest indication of his
shadow, and while at times it was a
little bright today, there was no rea¬
son to believe the old g. h. could see
any shadows before noon at least.
He is supposed to make his appear¬
ance at 12 o’clock.
According to tradition, when the
ground hog comes out of his hole and
does not see his shadow, he knows the
winter has been broken and spring
weather will soon come, and stays out.
On the other hand if he comes hut
of his hole and the sun i« shining and
he sees his shadow he goes back into
his hole and draws the hole after
him, as winter will have a strangle
hold on the world for the next six
weeks.
A number of people who do not be¬
lieve in the ground hog tradition have
announced they will keep tabs on the
weather, starting today, to find out
whether the ground hog is a prevari¬
cator or not.
