ADVERTISING CITIES.
This Is IL New Form of Municipal
Activity That Pays.

The business men of Nashville
have determined to organize an in
dustrial advertising bureau and to
spend some money in making knoWA
the advantages and attractions OF
their city. This is a sensible determi-
nation and does them credit.
At a meeting held Thursday the
subject was thoroughly discussed
aud committees that had been APP
pointed to investigate the results or
advertising in other cities made IA
yorable reports. AS a result of in
vestigations he had made one of the
committeeman submitted the follow
ing figures:
with an expenditure of $40 900
Omaha secured sixty factories, with
1000 operatives employed, Des
Moines, $14, 900, twenty factories
with 500 workmen; Kansas City eX-
pended $4,000, got eighty factories
with $500 men, Cincinnati, $22, 1000,
thirty factories, 800 men employed
Memphis First three months $4,000,
six factories; San Antonio, $1,000
eighteen factories, 1900 men, Buff
falo 1.-TWO months) $4,000. twelve
factories, $50 men; Lynchburg Zone
month"; $500 two factories and 400
men
In addition to the foregoing
some figures We're shown relating
to the good accomplished by an adj
yertising campaign in Pensacola,
| Fla. In that city fund of 100000
| was raised by the property owners
/ to be used in three wears In the first
| three months 81 5000 was expended,
I with the result that city property adj
yanced IS a foot and farms sl5 an
acre. In the meantime several hum
| dred city lots and a number of farms
/ had been sold as direct conse-
| quence of the campaign of publicity.
IT was shown at the business
mems meeting that zoe cities in the
| United States are conducting regu-
lar advertising campaigns. Memphis
has spent $4,000, and is so well
pleased with the results that she has
gone to work to raise $4,000 more.
The evidence was all of the same ten-
or and the men who attended the
meeting were not slow to reach
decision that what was good fot
other cities would be equally eftica-
cious for Nashville
No city which hopes to keep
abreast of other cities can afford to
neglect the publicity plan altogether
and TO get the best results there
should be systematic and continuous
effort in that direction. The CONNER
cial organizations of Louisville
would do well TO follow the example
of the Nashville business men AMI

DR.. Stafford, for many years pro-
fessor of chemistry in the Medical
College of the University of Mash.
vile, used to tell his students a fa-
ble-the moral of which was prove,
it. Certain wise men were gathered
together to ascertain the explanation
of a statement that when two glasses
of water of equal weight are balanced
on the beams of balance scale ard
frog is then put in one of the yes
sells the balance remains the same,
thus attempting to prove the asser-
ton that a frog has no weight When
immersed in water. Each wise man
had his own explanation, and there
was much heated argument and dis
cussion. AT length one of the wise
men said; But is your statement
true? Let's prove it. OF course when
it came to proving it, they couldn't.
So when you hear people say that
Coco-Cola is injurious Just ask
them to prove it. They cant. Nobody
can, because it is not injurious. Bat
on tho otheNsaand it can be proved
that it is not injurious by chemical
analysis Or If YOU are not a chemist
YOURSELF why not accept the verdict
of every competent chemist who over
analyzed 1t? Eminent College and
University chemists, government,
and state and city chemists all have
analyzed Coco-Cola and not one has
ever been able to find anything HI
furious in it. The very next time you
hear anyone say that Coco-Cola con
tains deleterious ingredients tell him

During the summer.
Officially Waxahachie has a popu-

Der of inhabitants will exceed 1000
and there is no reason why the CEN
sus of 1920 should not show-a popu-
lation of 10000 While the CONNER
cial club is looking out after indus,
trial enterprises and mercantile es-
adjustments the city's educational
institutions should not be overlook
ed. The high school ranks with the
best in the state and Trinity Unive"-
sity occupies a high position in the
rank of colleges. The university has
added a large number of families to
the city's population and if properly
fostered will accomplish great deal
more along this line. Just now the
university is hampered in its work
by lack of room in the boarding
halls for students Every room In
Beeson and Prendergast halls Is oGi
cupied and many students are board
ing with private families. A move
ment has been started looking to the
erection of a new hall for girls to
cost in the neighborhood of $50 600.
The need of this hall is apparent to
every one who Is familiar with pres
ent conditions at Trinity. The city
could well afford to cooperate with
the management in securing this
needed addition to the university's
buildings 1t would mean the bring
ing of at least one hundred more
students to the institution. Every eff
fort possible should be made to have
the new building ready for the OPEN
