"If merchants had time to talk
to the public as naturally as they
talk to individual customers, or if
the bright things they say uncon-
seiously could be caught by a
photograph for the use of their
advertisement writer's" said an ex-
pert recently, "the gain to adver-
Using art would be inestimabIe,
and chiefly in the line of individu-
atty" Very likely, but this is not
the trend of advertising. It's di-
rection now is TOWARD news interest
the sort of interest that has the
same fascination for women that a
baseball score or an account of a
horse race has for men-and in this
the hand of the expert may help
the overworked merchant. OF
course, the merchant who really
has no news to interest buyers has
no use for publicity.

The long drought has caused
great distress among the farmers
and lumbermen along the Little
Kanawha, wells and springs that
never failed before have been dry
for months and many streams have
dried up, stock has suffered greatly,
having to be driven miles to water.
A large proportion of the late crops
have failed. There has not been a
timber rise for some months and it
is estimated that at least s75O,O00
worth of logs, ties and lumber is
lying along the creek and river
banks. Many sawmills have been
compelled to shut down for want
of logs.
