OF the country saw the tangible evil

presenting its claim to the world.
few, aside from those who have visit
ed there. know what it accomplished.
1t is estimated that as the result of
the advertising campaign no less
than sixty-five manufacturing con-
Germs have moved to Memphis.
Careful investigation has revealed
fhat these plants employ, on an
average, eighty men apiece. This
would give total of $500 new cit

have figured that for every man

Using campaign brought more than
sixty-five new iobbing houses and
between 800 and 400 new firms were
added to the business enterprises of

What has Memphis to offer the

not be equalled or even excelled by

If all the persons who violate the

the police magistrate and fined, suf-
ficient money would be obtained 10

construct additions to the public IL

However, when the lawmakers ere

The intention was to make Cairo a
better and cleaner city. That the

laxity on the part OF the Police De-

part OF the citizens is responsible in
great, measure. The policeman can

Cash Value of Cheer.

Cheerfulness has been given a
legal cash value.
A Connecticut court has awarded
$3.50 TO a man who enlivened the
declining years of millionaire
with funny stories.
The judge in rendering his opin-
ion said that it was impossible to
separate physical benefit from good
cheer. Though good cheer in itself
may not have a definite price. the
physical benefit that results from II
certainly has.
For the last four years the dying
millionaire was kept cheerful AID
happy by the funny mans stories,
And the end of life devoted to m erc
money-making is not usually time
to laugh.
One must be something Of wiz
