~ Fortune has looked upon him
with no threatening eye. Yet
here is young man, just turned

Hartman, like Vincent Astor, has
great aspirations!
The frivolous work of polished idle

to succeed his famous father as the
head Of the enormous railroad inter

The plain truth told In simple
language Is so startling nova
days that 1t unconsciously slim
uIates action on the part of the
buyer. If you don't believe It,
try 1t in your next ad.


In a recent address on THE Modern
Newspaper Louis Wiley, manager OF
the New York Times, had this to say
on the distinction between news and
advertising:
"The most difficult thing Is to sepa
rate the news from the advertising.
There is so much news In advertising
and frequently so much advertising In
news that great skill and Judgment
are required to make a successful
separation. The constant effort OF the
advertiser is to employ the news col
umns for his advertising purposes.
Many are the ingenious efforts of adj
vartisers to secure free publicity. The
best rule for an editor is to treat
news as news. II a thing has news
value it should be printed, whether or
not it aids the advertiser, but 1t
should never be printed as news sim-
ply because it helps the advertiser.
The tendency of the editor Is to shrink
from the publication Of news matter
if he thinks an advertiser IS interested
In 1t. The fact that an advertiser has
some connection with the news should
not hinder its publication The only
point the editor should consider To-:
Is IL of interest to the reader ?"

NO SPECIAL. SESSION
Of THE LAWMAKERS
PRESENT CONDITIONS DO NOT.
WARRANT SUCH ACTION.
Gov. Brewer Takes a Firm Stand
Against Levee Board Proposition,
Saying Funds Can Be Had
in Other Ways.

Jackson.-Gov. Brewer will not call a
special session of the legislature to au-
thorize a million-dollar bond issue by
the Mississippi board of leyee commits
sioners. His mind is fully made up on
the subject, and no argument likely to
be advanced by the leyee board members
will cause him to change his opinion.
The governor made this plain when
informed that meeting of the levee
board was being held in Greenviile for
the purpose of framing memorial ask
ing him to call special session, to be
convened as quickly as possible.
II do not believe the situation war
rants special session." said Gov. Brew
er. "At the same time, fully realize
the necessity for permanent improve
ment work on the levees in that district,
but the necessary finances can be Sc
cured by the board without calling the
lawmakers in special session at this
season, at a heavy expense to the tax
payers of the state
The governors decision, in advance OF
the formal memorial from the levee
board, is not surprising, in view of the
fact that he has always opposed special
sessions. Gov. Brewer was invited to
personally attend the meeting at
Greenville, but, owing to important BUSH
ness here, could not arrange to do so.
The levee board proposal is to get au-
thority for bond issue in the sum of
$1,0O0,OO0, bearing per cent interest,
and also new statute authorizing the
board to levy an ad valorem tax of 20
mills on all property in the district.
Concerning this plan, the Greenville
Democrat, which apparently favors the
extra session, says:
"The condition of the levees, whether
a crevasse occurs this year or not, de-
mands prompt attention. To anticipate
the revenues of the district, year after
year with a high water fight, is poor
business policy, because money spent in
high water fights is spent as tempo
rary expedient and with no thought of
the permanent improvement of the
levees. And when the resources of the
board for the year are spent in advance
on high water fights there can be no
permanent enlargement or construction
of levees in the summer, when such
work should be done.
"A special session of the legislature
of two weeks would cost the state less
than 1925, 900; it would be money well
spent by the state if through legisla-
tion enacted the taxpayers of this sec
ton of the Delta could secure protec-
ton from overflow which would increase
the taxable value of property and thus
help the state as well as the levee dis
trict.
This section of the Delta is I'M
equaled in the fertility of its soil; to
secure protection from overflow and these
annual high water fights, any expendi-
ture of money in reason, would be JUS
titled, while almost any rate of taxation
could be borne for a few years without
becoming a serious burden"
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1913-05-02

some must have the truth literally
hammered into them.
But because the last mentioned has
been a trifie obtuse, it is no sign that
he will be an Improbable depositor.
1t portends that he will be likely to
stick to you through thick and thin.
Now let us say that you have been
carrying on some kind of an educa-
tional campaign for year, that it has
been eminently successful, that it has
cost you considerable sum of money,
and that your directors, though
pleased with the result, think you had
better stop advertising awhile and
take it up later on"
You want to know what you really
ought to do about it.
In the new faces at your counter
you have the best kind of proof that
your advertising has worked" Those
are the people who saw the force of
your arguments quickly.
What about those who are almost
convinced Going to let the impress
sions that you have been building
steadily in their minds, growing more
like doing something every time you
approach them going to let them
lapse into Indifference and fall back
to the point where you must begin all
over again? Or perhaps let up on
them entirely and permit your COM
petitor to apply the finishing touches
to your argument, and reap nice har-
vest of business, the seed of which
you planted and cultivated almost up
to the harvesting point?
That is just what many bankers are
doing I've seen many of them de-
liberate1y throw away advantages
they had bought and paid for just be-
cause they, or their directors, didn't
realize the necessity of Sustained Eff
fort in their advertising.
Know this: 1t will cost you much
less to keep on with your advertising,
provided, of course, that it has been
properly planned, than to stop for
awhile and then get back to the point
where you left off. Why advertise at
all If not with sustained effort? If it
pays to advertise year in an intel
ligent fashion, it will pay better to ad-
vertise for two and still better to adj
vertise for three.
Results of one years advertising are
twofold-the business it has created
and the business it has almost Gre
ated.
When you buy advertising you are
buying cumulative results. When you
stop you lose large share of bene-
fits which have cost you money.
1t takes less power to keep train
going than to get it going. When un-
der Roadway, shut off steam and 1t
will keep on little while, then stop.
Just so with advertising. Sustained
Effort is the only effort worth while.

The Business Man Who
Does Not Advertise

The business man who does
not advertise, simply because
his grandfather did not, should
wear knee breeches and a
queue. The business man who
does not advertise because it
costs money, should quit paying
salaries for the same reason.
The business man who does
not advertise because he tried it
once, and failed, should throw
away his cigar because the
light went out.
The business man who does
not advertise because he doesn't
know how himself. should stop
eating because he can't cook.
The business man who does
not advertise because somebody
said it did not pay, should not
believe the world is round be-
cause the ancients said it was
fiat.
The business man who does
not advertise because he cannot
know absolutely that it is going
to pay, should commit suicide to
avoid being killed by an acct
dent.
The business man who. does
advertise but who insists on his
business literature in inferior
covers, simply because they
cost less than the uncommon"
kind, should wear blue jeans
overalls because they are cheap
er than tailor-made clothing.

funds for several years. Very recently
a decided impetus was given the move
ment when the chairman, DR.. w. N. Lo-

a well-known philanthropist. The pledge
was made with the provision that the
friends of the college collect one'half
that amount and erect and equip a

committees have secured pledges for
about half of the amount necessary to
obtain the larger gilt. If the remain
