A Lesson in Publicity.

At 10 p. m, Monday, the presi.
dents of the three civic organizations
of Cairo, announced through com.
mittee, composed of the three presi.
dents. that $500 would be given to
the aviator who will stop in Cairo On

At 1910 a. m, two hours and ten

tn St Louis office fthe Associated
Press. 1t follows:
Minneapolis. Mimi, Sept II.
Advises received here tonight

sippi Flight Association. that
Cairo, ILL.,, subscribes to the
100000 fund being raised for
the aviation, who will start his

with the opening of the Deep
Waterway Convention.
The message received in Mime
apolis was placed on the wire in
Cairo by Mr. Spearman II. Lewis
special representative of the St Louis
Aero Club. at ii o'clock Monday
night. AS soon as II was received
in Minneapolis. a blanket STORY"
was sent simultaneously to every
newspaper published in cities along
the Mississippi river, including
Cairo.
Ten thousand publications
throughout the United States will
be printing news of the flight from
the time II commences, until the
aviator arrives in New Orleans, and
the service will be just as rapid and
accurate. as It was in this instance
Cairo could not purchase one line
in each Of these papers for $500.
The three organizations concern
ed in the flight project were: TIL
Cairo Commercial Club, the Cairo
Board of Trade and the Cairo Retail
Merchants Association, and IL they
will cooperate in one grand effort
to advertise the municipality to the
outside world, success is bound to
come.
Most of the large cities in the
United States are not known because
OF the actual dollars in cents spent
for display advertising, but because

Why Not Wake Up?

If it be true, as reported, that q
bridge company reserved more than
100 hotel rooms for and paid the ex-
penses of members of boards of super
visors attending any sort of convention
anywhere, there will be unanity Of
settlement among the people in con-
domination of the act.
1t would be idle to assume that there
is any one who would undertake to de.
fend the practice; and if it be Gus
tom among contractors to "take care"
of boards of supervisors or other public
bodies with which they expect to do
business, in this way, it will not need
argument to convince the people that
they should act-however slow they
may be in acting.
The amazing thing about it after all
is the patience of long suffering
public. The boards of supervisors If
low, experd five times as much money
as it taxes to run the state government
of Iowa. Yet nowhere on the statutes
is there a provision requiring super
visors to advertise such public work {; s
build & bridges for the reception Of
bids 50 that the contract can be let to
the lowest and best bidder. Under the
law, a job Of city work of more than
$500 must he let to The lowest bidder.
But supervisors may expend $l75, 600
On bridges in year or two without
even the formali,y of contract, to
say nothing Of "a public letting by COM
petition.
The best evidence of the lack of in
terest Of the people in their own BUSH
ness is observed in the reputed exist
ence of a lobby of supervisors at the
legislature to defeat the passage of
bills calculated to compel competition
in furnishing bridges, etc, to the
public through supervisors

II YEARS
Cured By Dr.. Weber

The Democrat has recently heard re-
ports Of remarkable cure effected by
DR.. A. II. Weber, the Des Moines oc-
culist, who comes to the Hotel Lewis
once month, and after investigation
we find the reports to be true. The
cure was in the case of Mrs. Scurlock
of Cherokee, whose picture is given
herewith. The case is an interesting
one and will attract attention both
from scientific standpoint and in the
interest Of humanity in general. Mrs.
Scurlock has had her sight restored at
ter seventeen years of blindness. She
has daughter 16 Yeas of age whom
she has never seen until three months
ago.
Mrs. ScurIock was afflicted with cat
aracts which rendered her totally blind:
According to her own story she had
been treated by Occulists wiahout bene-
fit. and gave up all hope OF ever see.
ing again, when friends told her Of
DR.. Weber having cured many difficult
cases of eye trouble. 81 called on
him." said Mrs Scurlock, land when
he informed me that he could restore
my sight it seemed too good to be true
He has done SO to my perfect satisfac-
ton. DR.. Weber removed the cata-
racts painlessly."
Mrs. Scurlock has recently called at
this office and her sight seems to be as
good as that of the ordinary person.
She has good reason to feel overjoy.-
ed and is unstinting in her praise of
