Analyze Puzzling Claims

The man who reads these claims must be puzz1e5
to know what TO do. The advertisements would
lead him TO think that all cars arc equally worth
ms money that he might as well simply close his
eyes and choose one
And yet this does not seem quite reasonable
In any group of half a dozen makes. selling ar

Different groups Of men engaged on similar
tasks will inevitably produce different results
One group will produce better results than the

Railroads and the trains which run on them
are made Of the same materials. They all charge
the same rates of fare Yet nothing is so plain as
hat some railroads are vastly better than Others

WILL START Big SCRAP
ON SALE OF BOOZE
PFOhiS Are Lining Up Strong
For the Fight

Atlanta, June 19.-That there will
be a strenuous fight in the next
legislature, not only to prevent the
repeal of the present prohibition law
and the passage of a local option bill,
but to pass an Independent bill pro-
hibiting the sale of alcoholic malt
liquors, was announced by Dr. Len G.
Broughton one night recently at the
Baptist Tabernacle.
Mr.. Hobson's recent talk here was
the opening gun of the campaign, said
Mr.. Broughton to a reporter. About
six weeks ago we learned that the IL
quor people were sending lobbyists
into the state and were preparing to
spend money to defeat the present pro-
hibition law, and to pass local OPP
ton bill.
after investigating the matter
thoroughly and getting hold of some
of their literature, which they had
sent to legislators of whom they We're
certain but who turned against them,
we decided ten days ago to fight, as
they were trying to take away from
us what we had.
Secretly, but actively We have
worked for these ten days, during
which time we have interviewed many
legislators and senator's, and we are
now convinced that we will win easily,
especially among representatives from
the rural districts which are unan-
imously in favor of the elimination Of
the sale of the so-called near-beer'
1--WE have therefore had bill pre-
pared by the ablest lawyers on our
side prohibiting the sale of alcoholic
malt liquors which will knock this
near-beer out of the state This bill
prohibits the manufacture and sale of
such.
I'm it's preparation the bill has been
so drawn that the courts will not
have a chance to dodge the law, as
they do now on intoxicants.' 1t is
against alcoholic beverages of every
kind, but its special purpose is to
destroy the near-beer traffic.
zone of the strongest and most in
huential members of the legislature
will present the bill, a copy OF which
will be sent to every minister in the
state Immediately for him to crea1c
interest in his own locality, and to
prevail upon his senator or legislator
for its passage.
For the next four weeks we Will
have such a rally as was never wit
messed before. I am going to start it
Sunday night, when l will outline the
bill in full
Sunday, July ninth, will be our
greatest day. Every church in At
lanta, and in each city of the state
will hold special services to urge the
of the bill and every member
of the legislature and senate will be
invited to attend one of these ser
vices.
1--WE are going to pass the bill, ana
il Augusta, Macon and Savannah do
not like it, they can pack up their
things and move out of Georgia and
create a state of their own"
