OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Due to Lack of Advertising.

Thirty or forty years ago the Nam
moth Cave shared honors with Mag
ara as a point of interest for trav-
elers. No American felt that he
kenw his own country till he had Wis
tied the wonderful opening in the
earth. No foreigner visiting the
United States was expected to return
to his own land without seeing and
exploring the cave. 1t was one of the
features of illustration in school geog-
raphies. 1t furnished a subject for
countless magazine writer's and illus
traitors.
Now, we never hear of the Nam
moth Cave Public attention is called
to the fact that the monster hole in
the ground lis still there" by the an
nouncement of change in ownership,
the former proprietors finding that all
profits on their investment had van,
ished.
The fact is, the Mammoth Cave has
not been advertised in recent years
1t is just as wonderful as it always
was But, somehow, practically "a
attempts in the way of advertising
have ceased. Just why this is, it may
be impossible to say. But the fact
remains.

ADVERTISING "Our Town."

Do you take a pride in your town?
In speaking of 1t and working for it,
do you say "our town."
When you say our town. the ex-
preston has a different meaning from
what 1t does when you say the town, .
this town" or your town"
Practice saying our town" until you
can give it a musical and attractive
sound that is confidence inspiring and
means the true loyalty of a citizen
There is big difference placed on
the meaning of words by the tone in
which they are expressed. Some people
can say come in" in a tone that means
say out more than it does come in.
- IN speaking of your town, make
every word mean confidence, loyalty,
prosperity, welcome, and you will have
a town that exhibits all these.-The

The above advertisement appeared
in the Want Columns of the Jackson
vile Times Union, and, presumably,
in other Florida papers as well.
Naturally some old timers, opposed to
in politics will hold up
their hands in horror. But sensible
men will commend such a use of the
advertising columns of the news
papers as eminently proper.
When the fact became widely known
that the Underwood campaign man
ayers had asked for prices for news
paper space from Southern papers i
number of the Wilson organs set up q
howl of disapproval. They thought t
an outrageous violation of some in
tangible thing known as "ethics" that
a candidate should pay out money for
newspaper space.
1t is all right, of course, to hire
"spielers," to engage clerks and stenog
raphers, to food the mails with paid
matter prepared by paid writer's, bat
to engage space in newspapers is ex-
ceeding the limitations put upon as
pirants for public office.
AS a matter of fact it would be much
better for the country and for the
candidates if they would cut out much
of their other expenses and utilize the
money thus saved in the hiring OF
newspaper space for their eXploita-
ton, it being understood, of course
that the space thus purchased shall be
marked advertising matter
Why newspapers should be expected
to give up a vast amount of their
space to boosting this candidate or
that candidate for office, publishing
the dope hired writer's see fit to furn-
Ssh, we fail to see. To our mind
L,Engle and Underwood have taken
the right path. Let the candidates
