Cairo Cites the World That She /


The fore going appeared in last

Beneath it is published the follow
ing item.

THE following telegram was sent
The Evening Sun by the Cairo Citi-
zen today:
Young Cairoites today took
charge Of the situation in Cairo s
district, rallied to hold the district
and expect by nightfall to have all
of the entertainments intact, Very
little water entered through the
break in the Mobile and Ohio en-
bankment last night and the Big
Four leyee is holding despite the
fact it was abandoned last night
The district can be saved. There has
been no damage. The river is prac-
tically on a stand here and the sit
uation is no worse than it was TWEEN
ty-four hours ago.
Cairo announces to the world
that she is still here and determined
to stay. Molly Goddess laid down
on their jobs last night and to this
is due the break in the Mobile and
Ohio levee. Today MEN have as
sumed direction and execution of the
work of protecting the town, and
the business section of the city will
be saved"
The Evening Sun is to be COM
mended for its efforts to give Cairo
a fair deal" but it is to be regret,
ted that it was supplied with un-
truthful information as to the cause
OF the break in the Mobile and Ohio
levee. The Bulletin takes this occa-
sion to inform The Evening Sun
that the molly coddle is an unknown
species in Cairo. Those who worked
on the Mobile and Ohio embank-
ment, both before and after the
break occurred. were every inch OF
them men. molly coddles' would
not have dared to venture on the
!eyees, and especially not on the
night that the Mobile and Ohio
levee break occurred. The men who
fought against the elements on that
memorable night were men Of iron,
and that they fought losing battle
is no indication that they were molly
coddles If there ever were any
Molly Goddess in Cairo, they all
left before the city began it's battle
against the food, and so far as The
Bulletin has been able to ascertain,
none OF them have returned.

Than Wall Street.

A prominent manufacturer with su.
preme confidence in the power of ad-
vertising told friend of his from the
financial district that he was going to
invest 100000 during the year in ad-
vertisipg in new product
Whit do you expect to get from
it?" asked the friend.
well, if l put my money In Wall
street | would get about four per cent.
so will be satisfied if get that much
or little more"
At the end Of the year the manu-
facturer figured that his advertising
brought him $4,000 in profits-16 per
cent on his investment.
We'll" said the financial friend
sarcastically. are you satisfied?"
"Of course" was the answer. 81
have IS per cent on my money. That
is 12 per cent better than Wall
street"
Yes" almost shouted the friend,
'but Wall street would have returned
your original 100000, too You have
lost your money; you are $4,000 out"
Not by any means" answered the
manufacturer. 81 still have my money.
1t is represented by my trademark.
Do you think l would sell for, 100000

The proof of the pudding is the eat

ADVERTISING THE
SMALL BUSINESS
BY GEORGE s. sANTA.

The possibilities in general advertis-
ing on small amount OF money are
but little understood today and too
often overlooked by those who should
avail themselves of it. Many small re-
tailers or retail establishments are
among the aggressive advertisers in
their communities, but. in general. the
manufacturing concern Of small pro-
portions looks on advertising as some
thing to be handled only in lump sums
of tens or hundreds of thousands OF
dollars.
Nothing could be greater mistake.
Indeed. today the advertising OF an
article is part and parcel of its pro-
duction and thu manufacturer has not
done his duty who has not provided.
by an effective selling plan, an outlet
for his goods. And this is true of the
small as well as the large producer.
To the small concern, however, the
periodicals Of very wide, general cir
culation, are costly to use and action
through them Is indirect and often un.
satisfactory. Certainly they do print
beautiful advertisements, frequently in
several co1ors, but the beauty OF the
advertisement is hardly sufficient COM
pensation to the advertiser If 1t leaves
him substantially out OF pocket un-
less he is widely represented among
the retailers or has a special plan for
taking advantage of his advertisement
in some unusual way, the small adver--
tiser is quite likely to be compelled to
take his returns in the satisfaction OF
having run beautiful advertisement
If he resorts to the big weekly or
monthly magazine.
On the other hand, the newspaper
offers to the manufacturer medium
direct and economical. He can adver-
tise to the very people whom ne is In
position to reach with his sales force.
He should not expect spasmodic uses
Of space to do all the work but he
must advertise consistently and intel
ligently, and if ne follows up his news
paper advertising with close eo-opera-
tion from the sales department results
will surprise him and firm hold will
be gained upon the territory in which
the advertising is done.
But the main thing is to ADVER-
TISE, and IL not successful at first

As to orlalnalltx.

Originality, the-real originality-is
not common quality. 1t is, In fact.
something somewhat rare. We can
not all attain to it, and the best thing
meantime is to put a new value on
what would otherwise be, or might be,
without our help, commonplace. 1t
was Solomon. believe, who said there
is nothing new under the sun, and our
Wendell Phillips carried this idea so
far that he wrote and re-wrote and
exploited his very best lecture-that
on "The Lost Arts'-to prove that the
Egyptians, Thebans and Etruscans
did everything we do centuries before
the Christian era, besides a lot of
other things that we have never done.
And he made his ingenious conten-
ton very persuasive and interesting.

ference of the Reader-study
Both Sides of the Case.

It is understood at the outset that
before one thinks of attempting TO
write an advertisement that he should
kamiliarize himself thoroughly with
the thing to be advertised-should
have a complete knowledge OF its
uses and special advantages, and the
particular field in which the appeal
Is to be made. This is so obvious
that It scarcely requires mention.
Taking it for granted, however
khat the ad. writer has studied up
the proposition and understands it
clearly, the first step is to realize
that an advertisement cannot be
written successfully at moments
notice. The amateur in this work Is
apt to treat 1t too lightly; many seem
10 think that any sort Of reading mat
ter to fill the space with some large
type thrown in and picture, con-
stitutes an advertisement This hap

spiration) is much used, and the re-
suits are very haDhazard indeed.

The matter careful study--that is
why he is an expert-weighing well
syery word, and eliminating every
unnecessary one. He chooses and
places them with the care that an
artist would exercise in combining

And tie thoughtful student will
realize esrly in his work that this
gtudy is very necessary before the re-
uuirements Of the good advertisement
cau be fulfilled.

Alat wasn't the story. One opened

compels attention.
The subject should also be treated
% briefly as possible. and the opening
sentences. especially. should be short
Statements should be made very
clearly-the meaning not left to be
inferred by the reader Only the
cleverest Of people enjoy story
written in that "impressionistic"
style, and no one will bother with such
m advertisement For the sake of
flearness, too. the matter should be
simpliied by the exploitation of as
few lines of good as possible and if
number are used, the text should be
arranged so that each will appear dis
finctly by itself. Otherwise it is
like so many salesmen all shouting at
the reader at once, and naturally he
gets away from them as quickly as
possible.
In addition to clearness of language
and expression, there should be clear
ness Of typography-it should be
easy TO read and not firing on the
eyes. This is matter largely for the
printer, as the advertiser, unless of
exceptionally broad experience, is
less able to judge of effects than type
setter. But in this connection, the ad.
writer should see himself that the
space is not crowded. White space
costs money. but it attracts attention
and pleases. oftentimes creating a |
much more favorable impression than
an indifferently executed illustration
which would entail additional ex-
pense.
Another serious stumbling block to
The student ad. writer Is his failure
10 give sufficient thought to his
proposition from the standpoint of
the buyer. and this frequently results
In a completely wrong construction
pf the advertisement. His ideas
and arguments may be all right, but
lie presents them from his view
point rather than to appeal to the
reader; he wears his coat wrong side
out He should ask himself: "1f
were a reader, what is there about
khese,goods that would induce me to
part with my money for them?"
Human nature is essentially selfish,
and unless this point of the appeal
10 the buyers self-interest Is given
very careful study, something of its
weight is apt to be lost. There is a
story told Of an Irish Judge, who,
after- hearing the plaintiffs case,
refused to hear the arguments of the
defendants attorney, conten6ing that
sit would have tindincy to confuse

sides Of the case before the adver-

Basket Ball Game.
Montpelier, KY.

The Lindsey Wilson basket ball
team played the first game of the sea-
son at jamestown on Nov. End. The
game was hard fought one, but the
Lindsey Wilson boys were at a disad-
vantage because of having to play on
an out door court. At the close of the
game the score stood 9 to in favor of
jamestown. But as the Jamestown
team was composed mainly of former
Lindsey Wilson students the defeat
was not so hard to bear.
Last Saturday evening the James
town boys met the LindSeyS in the
latter's gymnasium. At first James
town seemed to- have Lindsey out
claSsed, especially in good pitching.
But the Lindsey boys soon got togeth-
er, and their score climbed until when
the whistle blew for end of game the
score was tied. They continued the
game until by one foul goal and one
field goal by Lindsey made the score
stand Is to 10 for the home team.

The New Automobile Coaches.

All Columbia was on the watch last
Thursday afternoon for the appearance
of Mr.. J.B. Barbee's new, eighteen pas
senger Automobile coaches, knowing
that they were on the foad. At $50
they strek the square, passed up
Burkesville street, and later were OUT
Greensburg street.
They are handsomely and substan-
italy built, and to ride in them is,
Crock me light and easy"
They have plenty of speed and the
General Manager of the Manufacture
ing Company, Mr.. Ira w. Kenneth
who came in on one, says there is not
doubt but they will do the work.
The tires are guaranteed for 7,2OC
miles.
The people of Columbia are indebt,
ed to the eeompany who started the
Ford Machines for Mr.. Bafbees he.
ton in this matter. He is the mai
contractor, and was running hacks,
and he was soon convinced after
the Fords started that in
order to compete with the company
lie would have to furnish a quicker
way OF getting in and out of Columbia.
His mind made up, to make the
purchase, he was not longIin deciding
the character of machine. He went
to the factory, submitted tosthe COM
pany the style machine he wanted, en-
tered into contract, and immediate
ly the work of building it was COM
menced.
Their Introductory will revolution,
ize the travel between Columbia and
Campbellsville, and they will prove a
source of much satisfaction to Column
bia and the people of Adair county.
All hats are off to Mr.. Barbee.
In the meantime no one has any
stones to throw at the Ford Company,
a company that has done much for the
travelling public of this section. The
Ford has been making quick time, and
it las been pleasure to patronize the
company. 1t is our understanding
these machines will continue to run.
Mr.. Barbee will carry the mail on
his machines, hence the Louisville
papers will reach here at 3
O'Clock in the afternoon.
1t is hoped that an automobile line
has now been established, and that
runs will continue TO be made daily,
year in and year out.
Mr.. 10 Hurt, of this place, who is
an experienced automobile man, is the
State agent for the machine pur-
chased by Mr.. Barbee.
