ROWLAND fAVORS
 COMMISSION IDEA FOR PUBLIC UTILITIES
BELIEVES RAILROAD COMMIS- SION CAN PERFORM
 THIS DUTY.

The plan of converting the present state railroad commission into a utili- ties commission having jurisdiction over all public service corporations in the state. suggested editorially in the Log Cabin Democrat some weeks ago has the endorsement of Railroad Commissioner J. Sam Rowland, who was in Conway this morning. MT Rowland states that with the addition of two or possibly three to the com missions clerical force, he believed these duties could be performed by the commission in addition to its work in connection with railroad and ex- press companies.
 MT. Rowland said he recently visit. ed the commission in Oklahoma which has jurisdiction over all classes of public service corporations, and found it well organized and admins. tered, rendering efficient service.
 "The railroad commission now en- ploys a secretary, a rate clerk and a stenographer," MT. Rowland said, land with the addition of two or pos sibly three other clerks, do not see why the commission would not be able also to assume jurisdiction over all utility corporations in the state. The work of the commissioners is largely of judicial nature, and be- lieve three men can decide the ques- tiOns arising as we'll as five. 'er e. lieve also that the commission Ce Int to be elective rather than appointive, as has been suggested"
 MT. Rowland '" as here in response to petition from R. B. McCulloch for an extens.on of the compress spur .track to his gin and ice plant. The track ends on the land belonging to the Conway Compress Co.,, and it is stated that the company has declined to grant permission for an extension 6f the track across its grounds. The commissioner stated that he could not tell what action would be taken in the matter until he had seen a copy of the contract between the railroad and the compress company.

Whether or not a sixth annual county fair will be held at Conway next fall will be definitely decided ct a meeting of the new board of direc- tors, to be held Tuesday night in the office of J. A. King, the manager. The board has not met and organized since their election 'and no plans for the next fair have as yet been made.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine casss out of
Ten are caused by Catarrh, which is

Points on

The Cannon That M0dernized
Japan.

Business 10 no longer q man to man
contact. In which the seller and the
buyer establish a personal bond. any
more than battle is a hand-to-hand
grapple wherein bone and muscle and
sinew decide the outcome. Trade a.
well as war has changed aspect
both are now fought At long range.
Just as a present day army Of he
roes would have opportunity to dis
play the individual valor Of its mem
bers. just 30 q merchant who counts
upon his direct acquaintanceship for
success. is a relic Of the past-a b0sI.
ness dodo.
Japan changed her policy Of exclu-
sion to foreigners. after fleet of
warships battered down the Satsuma
Notifications. The Samurai, who had
hitherto considered their blades and
bows efficient, discovered that one
cannon was mightier than all the
swords in creation-if they could not
get near enough to use them. Japan
profited by the lesson. She did not
wait until further ramparts were
pounded to pieces, but was satisfied
with her one experience and proceeded
to modernize her methods.
The merchant who doesn't advertise
Is pretty much in the same position as
that in which Japan stood when her
eyes were opened to the fact that
times had changed. The long range
publicity Of a competitor will as
surely destroy his business as the can
non of the foreigners crumbled the
walls of Satsuma- Unless you take
the lessonsto heart. unless you realize
the importance of advertising, not only
as a means of extending your business
but for defending 1t as we'll. you must
be prepared to face the consequences
Of a folly as great as that of duelist
who expects to survive in a contest in
which his adversary bears q sword
twice the length Of his own.
Don't think that it's too late to begin
because there are so many stores
which have had the advantage of years
of cumulative advertising. The town is
growing. 1t will grow even more next
year. 1t needs Increased trading faclII.
ties just as it's hungry for new neigh
borhoods.
Newspaper advertising has reduced
the value Of being locally prominent.
and five-cent street car fares cut out
the advantage Of being "around the
corner" A store five miles away can
reach through the columns Of the
newspaper and draw your next door
ueighbor to its aisles. while you sit by
and see the people on your own block
enticed away. without your being able
to retaliate or secure new customers
to take their place.
1t Is not a question of your ability
TO stand the cost Of advertising but
Of holding what you already have.
Advertising Is an investment, the
cost Of which is in the same proper
ton to its returns as seeds are to the
harvest. And 1t is Just as preposter-
GUS for you to consider publicity as an
expense as It would be for a farmer to
hesitate over purchasing a fertilizer II

The Pass Of ThermopyIae.

Xerxes once led a million soldiers
out Of Persia In an effort TO capture
Greece, but his invasion failed utterly
because q Spartan captain had en-.
trenched q hundred men in a narrow
mountain pass which controlled the
road into Lacedaemon. The man who
was first on the ground had the id.
vantage.
Advertising is full of opportunities
for men who are first on the ground.
There are hundreds of advertising
passes waiting for some one to occupy
them. The first man who realizes that
his line will be held by publicity has q
tremendous opportunity. He can gain
an advantage over his competitors
that they can never possess. Those
who follow him must spend more
money to equal his returns. They
must not only invest ~ much, 70 get
a. much, but they must, as well. spend
an extra sum to eounteract the influ
ence that he has already established
In the community.
Whatever men sell. whether Il 10
actual merchandise or brain vibrations.
can be more easily sold with the aid
of advertising. Not one-half of the
businesses which should be exploited
are appearing In the newspapers.
Trade grows ~ reputation grows and
advertising spreads reputation.
II you are engaged in a line which
is waiting for an advertising pioneer.
realize what q wonderful chance you
have of being the first of your kind to
appeal directly to the public. You
stand q better chance Of leadership
than those who have handicapped their
strength by permitting you to get on
the ground before they could outstrip
you. You gain q prestige that those
who follow you must spend more
money to eounteraet.
II your particular line Is similar to
some other trade or business which
has already been introduced to the
reading public. it's up to you to start
In right now and join your competitors
in contesting for the attention of the
community. The longer you delay the
more you decrease your chances of
surviving. Every man who outstrips
you is another opponent, who must be
met and grappled with for the right
Of way.
