A City Must Advertise.

Ebert Hubbard wrote recently that
not long ago he visited the farfamed
Mammoth ave in Kentucky. He found
clumps of willows and grasses grown
up before its entrance. The large ho-
tel that once entertained hundreds Of
guests was falling down and in ruin.
Only a single family of farming PEG.
pie lived near the great caves mouth.
Once inside the cave. Hubbard was
even more astonished. for he founG
thousands If names written and cary
ed on it's walls. There were the names
Of Emerson. Longfellow and Presiden'
U. S. Grant.
Hubbard asked himself a question.
How is it. he said. that so many people
once j%ourneyed to visit this wonderful
place and that 10 few come now? He
inquired around. He 500 got an au-
swer to his question. 1t was this:
The man who once advertised the
Mammoth cave so extensively a few
years ago died. And with the death of
the advertising manager the great
cave. with all it's wonders. dropped
out of sight.
1t is the same old story. People
won't know what your goods and your
town are unless you advertise.
An enterprising mar for twenty-five
years advertised the Mammoth cave
and got thousands of people there.
Every fellow used to take his girl
there on their honeymoon. But now
the caves mouth is obscured by a
jungle. No one knows about its won
ders. Why? The advertising man
died.

single handed for between five and six
years between a bankrupt grocer Of
Berlin and the elector Of Saxony. who
was the most powerful German prince

Hans Kohlhase. and the immediate
cause Of the quarrel was the arresting

elector of Brandenburg. Failing to
get redress, he adopted what was then
a perfectly legal e%xpedient and de-
clared formal war on the realm Of
Saxony. The declaration was accepted
IN due form, and the war began.
The extraordinary part Of the story
is that the grocer kept the war up for
nearly six years practically single
