CERTAINLY THERE
IS BUSINESS
B> WILLIAM H. RANKIN
President, Win. H. Rankin Company,
New York and Chicago
There are advertisers who are doing
good business today. They are adver
ti mg. they began planning their ad
using and selling campaigns last
Ii.oember and January. They looked
anead to spring and summer business
- just as they are right now looking
ahead to and planning for fall and
winter business.
'fnese advertisers, who used adver
ti ing to help reduce inventories, are
now on the market buying materials
ai she present low prices. They are m
splendid shape for business this fall.
Because they mapped out their ad
vertising and selling several months
ago they are avoiding extra expense
and wasted effort today.
Your fall and winter advertising
should be planned and prepared now.
It should have the benefit of the expe¬
rience of an organization, which is
conversant with the changes that have
taken place in the markets and with
the newer methods necessary in adver¬
tising as well as selling.
With your fall and winter advertis¬
ing campaign in shape, it can be sold
to your sales force, and your salesmen
in turn can cash in on it with the
dealers before a line of it has appeal
ed.
The consumer looks upon advertis¬
ing today as his source of news re¬
garding living conditions. The advertis
ci who bears this in mind knows what
a strong selling factor advertising can
be for him next fall.
Now is file time to plan for good
business this fail and winter. Get
ready!
National advertising in newspapers
as well as zone advertising in special
territories using both the large city
dailies as well as the small town
dailies and weeklies should be given
thorough consideration. Consult the
Advertising or Business Manager of
tins newspaper or your own Adveitts
in Agency for full information.
,\It.ICO WITESSKS IN WILLIAMS
CASE PAID AND FREED
dinging' tightly to government
vouchers for $S8 each nine negro wit¬
nesses in the John Williams peonage
case, who were ai rested by federal
agents and placed in the Fulton Tow¬
er for safekeeping, scattered in vario
ous directions from the cashier's win
do T in the United States marshal’s of¬
fice Tuesday and began to seek jobs,
having not the slightest desire to re¬
sume their abode in Jasper county.
fhe witnesses were released from the
Tower by an order issued Tuesday
morning by Judge Samuel H. Sibley
at Hie request of the district attorney’s
oliiie. They were ordered to report
following their release to the marshal
in the Federal building and receive
their cch open sat ion for the time they
regained in custody. Each received $1
fi r each of L.he 88 .days in confine¬
ment.
The witnesses were Claude and Em
ina Freeman Julius. Rena and Rufus
Manning, Will and Grace Johnson,
Bessie May Benton and Fred Favors
Some of them declared that 088 was
more money than they had %- ever held
at ane tune.
Three of the women were very for¬
tunate in getting jobs. Hal Lindsay,
assistant district attorney, employed
one as a Cook. Other federal officials
took the cue and two more were given
domestic jobs.
Since Wiliams and his three sons,
Leroy, Marvin and Hulan, have been
indicted in federal court, the district
attorney ■ thought it unnecsary to de¬
tain the witnesses longer, and was sat¬
isfied that they will appear to testify
when the cases are called.—Atlanta

EDITOR NAMED FOR
GOVERNOR OF ALASKA
Scott C. Bone, a former Seattle pub
lisher who was publicity manager foi
t lie Republican national committee in
the 1920 campaign, has been nomi¬
nated by President Harding to be gov¬
ernor of Alaska. Mr. Bone was former¬
ly editor-in-chief of the Seattle Post
Intellegencer and for a time was
chairman of the Alaska bureau of the
Seattle chamber of commerce. One of
the considerations which, it is under¬
stood, caused President Harding to
make the appointment is Mr. Bone’s
wide experience with problems of news
print paper and wood pulp, which in¬
dustries tile administration expects to
develop extensivelj from the Alaskan
raw meterial.

CHILD STICKS TONGUE
INTO SOCKET OF LIGHT;
LOSES POWER OF SPEECH
The daughter of Chas. Morrow, Clover
depot agent, stuck her tongue in an
electric light socket from which Mrs.

regain her speech.
FIGHT THE
BOLL WEEVIL
County Agent Luck Admonishes Farm
ers to Get Busy ami Wage Wat on
Georgia's Pest. Now is the
Accepted Time.
Now while the ground is dry and hot
is the time to make our hardest fight.
It is a known fact and I have seen it
tried out myself, that if we get all of
i lie punctured squares off of the stalks
und on the ground while it is hot and
dry we will kill ninety per cent of the
grubs in these squares. Practically ali
.if the weevils are out and at work
laying egges. If we stop the first gen¬
eration by getting these squares we
will be sure to rid our cotton of that
many weevils for the next fifteen
lays; which wil allow our cotton to
-;et a good deal of fruit. These old
weevils that are laying now will die
after they have laid a 140 eggs apiece.
It will be something like fifteen days
before these eggs mature into grown
weevils, therefore stop these eggs
,'rom maturing is our best fight.
Keep the plows running during these
hot dry days for it will be the making
>f a cotton crop. It may start to rain¬
ing soon and keep you out of the
fields entirely for several days and
perhaps weeks. Rainy, cloudy weather
is favorable for the weevil. He can’t
multiply rapidly in dry weather, so
work fast and take advantage of out
dry weather now.

County Agent.

MINE FLOODED WITH
SUNLIGHT ONCE YEARLY
Sombrete, Zacatecas, Mexico—Min¬
ers in the La Joya shaft at Sombrete
are due to be dazzled by a ray of sun¬
light at noon, July 21. The old miners
are awaiting this visit of light to the
bottom of the 1,400 foot shaft, for to
them it marks another year of labor,
but the now workers will receive it as
a surprise, according to the “old tim¬
ers.”
The mine is situated on the imagina¬
ry line known as the divide between
i he Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of
Capricorn. Once a year, at noon, the
sun passes directly above the mine
and the vertical rays penetrate the
darkness of fhe shaft with such bril¬
liancy. the old miners say, that some
of tiie native workers fear they hav#
dug into the infernal region.
DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH
FAILS TO KISS HIS BRIDE
Paris—The Duke of Marlborough
failed to exercise liis most important
prerogative today when the religious
ceremony was performed in his wed¬
ding to Miss Gladys Deacon, of Bos¬
ton—he didn’t kiss the bride.
The religious ceremony was held in
the gardens of the home of Eugene
Higgins, a cousin of Miss Deacon. The
civil ceremony took place yesterday
at the British consulate.
The ceremony started half an hour
late today. The identity of the minis
ter who was to perform the ceremony
was kept secret even from the guests
until just before the wedding began.
Then Higgins appeared with the Rev.
T. H. Wright, pastor of the Scots
Church of Paris!

Paris—The number of male crimi
nals greatly decreased in France dur
ing the period of 1914 1919. That is
i explained by the fact that millions of
i men served with the colors. But crimes
by women and minors under 18 in
creased Before the war, out of every
hundred convictions, two were of wo
. men and five of minors; during the
war. out of every hundred convicted
persons. 30 were women und 14 were
minors.

A BILL TO STOP
STEALING AUTOMOBILES
Atlanta, Ga.—Every Georgia man
owns an automobile or who expects to
own one should be interested in the
passage of a bill, to be presented at
this session of the Legislature, which
is designed to stop the stealing of au¬
tomobiles by making it practically
impossible to sell a stolen car. It is be¬
ing backed by prominent member? of
both houses and is endorsed by all the
organizations interested in the auto¬
mobile industry. A similar bill passed
the Senate last summer but never
came up for a -vote in the house, ow¬
ing to the congestion of the last few
days.
The bill will follow the lines of the
law 7 In successful operation iiv Michi¬
gan and several other states. It pro¬
vides, in brief, that whenever a car
is sold the seller must fill out a hill of
sale giving the engine number and
other identifying marks. One copy of
this is to be sent the Secretary of
State and one retained by the- buyer
of the car. The buyer* shall report to
the sheriff of his county within ten
days and the sheriff w 7 ill inspect the
i ar and see that it “checks” with that
described in the bill of sale. There is
very little “red tape” required. Pen¬
alties are provided for altering"'serial
numbers of automobiles and for for¬
gery or alteration of bills of sale.
They will protect not only the
present owners of cars, but hundreds
of innocent purchasers of used automo¬
biles. While most of the thefts occur
in the larger cities, the small town and
country residents are frequently
“stung” by buying a car from a stran¬
ger who gives no proof of legal pos¬
session. The oar is afterwards traced
and recovered and the purchaser los¬
es his money and has no redress. Hun¬
dreds of such cases w r ere reported in
Georgia this year.

Advertising costs money—but it
goods. Do not believe the
who argues that he can undersell
ers because his sales are smaller than
theirs and his method of doing
ness proportionately less expensive.
Common sense should teach you
the greater number of sales a
makes the cheaper he can afford
sell. And common sense should
convince you that if advertising
increase sales hundreds of
of merchants would have quit it
ago.—Ex.
