Publicity.
BY way of introduction H. 2. Mitch
ell compared the Publicity necessary to
a community with an automobile. He
said that we might beautify the city
and put all the "get together spirit
possible into the work but without pub
licity nothing could be gained. No vii
lage is so humble that it does not need
publicity said Mr. Mitchell and no city
so large that 1t does not want more.
He referred to the wonderful publicity
work being done in Minneapolis. Mr..
Mitchell classified publicity into three
departments, namely: newspaper and
magazine, the souvenir and pamphlet
idea, and last but greatest, personal
publicity. At this juncture he put in a
witicism that put fitting close to his
toast.
Get Together Spirit.
Rev. Bailey in his address on the
"Get Together Spirit" stated that the
banquet was significant to his subject
in that it should not the slightest skep-
ticism or doubt but the earnestness
on the part Of all to get together. Rev.
Baileys toast was chuck full of hlmor
the minister not being forgotten in
this particular. He showed where the
minister represented a big proportion
Of the Commercial interest of any COM
munity. In conclusion Rev. Bailey
said that it should not all be hot air,
we must deviler the goods, and
added that one step that might
be taken could be the provision for bet
ter, more comfortable and adequate
churches
