CONTAINS FEATURES
 OF ADVERTISING
July Issue of "PracticaI Advertising" Full of Interesting Articles On
 Forms of Publicity.

The July issue of Practical Advertising, published by the Massengale Advertising Agency, has just made it's appearance in unusually attractive form. The number contains even more than the ordinary quota of special articles interesting to business men and particularly to active advertisers.
 The leading article is an interview with Henry l., DeGive of the Atlanta Adver- Using Service. on the subject of Bill board Publicity" and it's growing inn portance in the local field. The advan- tages of this form of publishing the val ues of proprietary and other articles are discussed with interesting cearness. The fact that more than 15.000 square feet If billboards in Atlanta are covered with attractive posters and that this surface is increasing rapidly, may be something of a surprise to the average citizen.
 What Constitutes Good Copy" a sub- ject specially discussed for Practical Ad- vertising by w. E. Woodward, adverts- ing manager for the New York Evening Journal, contains many valuable hints from man whose wide and varied ex- perience entities his utterances to careful reading. The opening of the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic railroad. with fine reproduction of President H. M. Atkin- sons face and a map showing the route of the new line from Atlanta to the sea- Is a feature of general interest not only to Atantians, but to the entire state of Georgia.
 To newspaper readers the story of the New York World building and equipment will be instructive. Of interest to the advertiser is a number of articles bear ing on this line of work. The usual per- sonal and news items gathered from near and from far, make this number of Practical Advertising worth careful read ing and reflect favorably on the energy of the Massengale Agency. an enterpris- ing Atlanta-made institution.

OKLAHOMA STATE
 VOTE IS LIGHT

Guthrie, Okla, August As expected the vote boiled at the primary in Okla homa today has been light and reports from all parts of the state indicate that the election has passed off quietly. Uni- ted States Senator Thomas P. Gore, dem ocrat and Dennis T. Flynn, republican, had no opposition in their parties for the nomination for the United States Senate.
 Greatest interest has been manifested in the contest between Congressman Bird s. Mcclure of Pawnee and Judge Bayard T. Hainer of Perry for the republican congressional nomination in the First dis trict. Reports which are fairly complete indicate McGuires nomination by a safe majority.
 Owing to the fact that several tangles have arisen over the primary election law. it will be several days before the actual results of the primaries will be known.

Over Thirty=fiye Years,

In 1872 there was great deal of di-
tum. 1t was at this time that Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoca
Remedy was first brought into use 1t
proved more successful than any other
remedy or treatment, and has for thir-
ty-fivc years maintained that record.
From small beginning its sale ana use
has extended to every part of the
United States and to many foreign
countries. Nine druggists out of ten
will recommend it when their opinion is
asked, although they have other mcdi-
cines tuat pay them a greater profit.
1t can always be depended upon, even
in the most severe and dangerous eases.

usual G. O. P. elephant form, but with
three dark blots upon it's back and
tlanks. These blots or splotches repre-
scented "Hard Times,' "Panic" and
Campaign Fund Publicity Fiasco." {"
Accompanying this representation was
this notice: "Wanted-S Someone to
Whitewash the Elephant" and in the
picture was offered $3.50 reward to
any person who could explain why the
q. o. P. should remain in power
Laurens had within her borders a
bright young man with an idea, which
he at once carried out. He is the young
son of Mr. II. K. l1udgens, It. X. the
junior, aged about six. Clipping the
cartoon from The State he proceeded to
whitewash the elephant according to
direction, sent it to The State and
claimed the reward. However, young
Mr.. Hudgens had only whtewashed the
'picture" of the G. o. P. elephant, an
easy task, while whitewashing the real
thing, the spotted G. o. P, would have
proven an elephantine undertaking.
But the ingenious idea of the lad at
tracted a great deal of attention and
comment, not only in this State but
elsewhere. The following article APP
pears in the Washington Star:
Myriad are the reasons given why the
Republican party should be continued in
power in letters received at the head

Novel was the response sent in through
the courtesy of The State, Democratic
paper of Columbia, S. C.
The State printed cartoon entitled
"White Elephant, " and showing pic
ture of an elephant, embematic of the
Republican party, all covered with spots
labeled "Panic, "Hard Times, ""Cam-
paign Publicity Fiasco," etc. Under
meath the picture were the words,
Wanted Some One to Whitewash the
Elephant"
A reply was received by the paper
from little lad of Laurens, S. c., who
signed himself "T. X. Hudgens,' and
said:
J whitewashed the elephant. And
hope to get the reward, for want to
buy me pony with it."

clipping of the cartoon covered with
whitewash. The black spots were still
discernable, but a brave effort had been
made to obliterate them.
William E. Gonzales, editor of the
paper, under date of June l1th, sent
the exhibits in the case to Chairman
Sherman of the committee with the
following letter:
Dear Sir Amid the serious work Of
the campaign this glimpse of simplicity
with its unconscious touch of humor may
not be unpleasant to you. A white ee-
phant would not take the place of
pony for him. Very truly yours,
