Press Comment
Suiting the Occasion.

An unadvertised incident of the
Presidents swing was the banquet
at Aberdeen, South Dakota, where
the hand-me-downs and hob-nails
triumphed and gloated over the ar
biters of elegance in full-dress and
potent feathers. At Aberdeen the
Commercial Club is divided into fac
tions, the .reactionaries and pregres-
sives. 1t being decided to banquet
the President the progressives con-
trolled the committee and planned O
recherche affair, full-dress and $40
plate. Thereupon an ancient
citizen, with corrugated counter
ance and steel-trap jaw, took the
string off his plethoric purse and
bought a large number of the ban
qnet tickets and distributed them
among his friends. The dress suit
restriction went like sampaign
promise after the election is over,
and the creme de la creme lunched
in amity with the boys who punch
the cattle and sheed the pillow. The
President smiled and dined and
GRATED with elegance, ease and aban-
don, while all around him ragged a
social war that left the town divided
into hostile camps. Somehow we
like the way that mysterious Santa
Claus appeared upon the scene and
with appreciation of the situation
suited his weasel skin to the occasion

A, fad for fancy bags Is developing
at such a rate that We may expect 1t
to become a furore by the time the
holidays arrive These bags have
every claim to popularity and are a
pleasing change from the leather bags
which have been SO universally worn
Tor many years. They are made of
all sorts Of materials. especially mil
linery fabrics. and "a bag to match

ion centers.

cry and brocaded ribbons provide ma
terials from which these bags are
made. They vary in shape from per-
fectly round to square. Nearly all OF
them are made on the model of an en-
yelope and the flap fastens with a
cord loop over covered button. Gold
and silver laces, nets and cord play
q conspicuous part in their construc-
ton and the furnished effects are
more effective then the bright gold.
These bags are not difficult to make.
As holiday gifts they will without
doubt be In excellent demand.

Stenciling.

This work is done simply by going
over the opening in the pattern With
a soft brush dipped in dissolved dye.
Care must be taken to prevent the
dye from running under the edge Of
the pattern. To prevent stenciling
from fading try this plan: After the
stenciling is done dip clean white
cloths in salt water. Place the work
between the wet cloths and press till
dry with a hot fiatiron.

usual lining fabric Small pockets are
shirred or sewed on plain. on the lin
ing. Allowing for the flap. the re-
mainder Of the covered strip Is turned
up to form the bag, and the sides slip
stitched or machine stitched together.
The flap is fastened down with a loop
made of cord sewed to the flap This
slips over button made by covering
button mold with bit of the ma
terial used In the bag. On some bags
clasps are used such as those that
fasten gloves. All are suspended with
silk or tfnsel cords. which are long
enough in nearly all cases to be worn
over the shoulder. 1t is the fashion
just now to knot the cord and carry
the bag by 1t. In the hand.
Hand crocheted bags are very popu-
lar. also others made Of heavy laces.
They are lined with silk and suspend
ed by crocheted cords finished with
tassels. Crocheted balls decorate the
bottoms of many of them. They are
drawn up at the top with the cord.
Embroidered motifs. In silk of many
brilliant colors, decorate velvet bags

decoration, In many cases. But the

Advertise Cairo.

"All that Cairo needs to place it
self before the world as one of the
big, busting and growing cities is
proper advertising on the part If its
commercial organization. Cairo has
many virtues, which should be ex-
plotted through some method. A
Press Bureau conducted by some ex-
perienced citizen, ! believe, would ac-
eomplish this result. Cairo's loca-
ton as to place of transaction of i'm
mense business cannot be overlooked
by manufacturers desiring to locate
where shipping facilities are good
Cairo's rivers should be instrumental
in bringing business to our city, but
above all, what you need is adver-
Using"
This was the statement made to a
special representative Of The Bull
letin Monday by William jennings
Bryan, who passed through Cairo on
his way to Kentucky,
In the issue Of August 20, more
than two months ago, The Bulletin
editorially advocated the establish
ment of press bureau as the means
of advertising Cairo's advantages.
The editorial in part, follows:
There are many ways OF ad-
vertising city, and the most
be greeted with statement of
popular mediums are press bu-
reaus and display advertising
in out-of-town newspapers and
magazines.
The bureau OF New York City
flooded the coutry with news
matter and all of IL referring
entirely to New York. The OBJ
ject of sending out the matter
Is to keep New York before the
public at all times and to at
tract new citizens as we'll as
new capital.
Nearly every large city main
tains a news bureau and If the
big municipalities can obtain
results through this simple me-
dunn is 1t obvious that smaller
city would receive some bene-
fits through similar method.
Chicago, Philadelphia, st.
Louis, Boston, Spokane. San
Francisco, Los Angeles, San
Antonio and Seattle are among
the other cities that obtain
good results through this sys-
tenn of advertising and the cost
is small when compared with
the results.
Let us have news bureau In
Cairo, one that will spread the
city's fame through the uni
verse. SO that when one OF our
citizens travels abroad he will

Guy down there ana I've always

Mr. Bryan has travelled extensive
ly both in the United States and
abroad. That, he saw and was inn
pressed with the advantages offered
to manufacturers and shippers by
Cairo, is encouraging. If these adj
yantages impressed him, they surely
will impress others, and it is entirely
up to you, Cairo, to exploit them.
That Cairo offers shipping faci-
lities as cheap as any other city is
undisputable, but this is not
generally known outuside of Cairo
and that the city has not grown may
be attributed to this fact,
