Important News From Outside.

Here is positive proof of good times
and the success possible for an article
of honest value, when backed by good
advertising in the right newspapers.
If there has ever been any question
in the minds of our readers regarding
the productiveness of the Times-Re-
corder as business building medium.
that question is settled definitely now
We have just received a big con
tract for advertising space from the
Calumet Baking Powder Co., manufac-
turers of the famous Calumet Baking
Powder
Year after year at this season, they
make their contracts with the leading
publications. They advertise in thous-
ands and thousands of newspapers
throughout the country, and are in a
position to know the value of news
paper publicity.
The absolute purity, the unquestion-
ed wholesomeness and wonderful
economy of Calumet Baking Powder.
all backed by honest advertising in
the right mediums, has succeeded in
building for them a tremendous bust
ness and enviable reputation. This
year Calumet advertising will be very
much different than any of the prev.
ious years. One of the country's best

GOOD TIMES AHEAD.

Every indication points to a conserv-
alive balancing in southern finan~-
es this fall. 1t is no idle prophesy
and no inflated boosts when the sub
stantial and enterprising business men
of a community predict good times.
The cotton market has shown re-
markedly settled temper by its rise in
the face of the English and French
declarations of contraband. 1t receiv-
ed a slight tremor in its rise by the
announcement of the government crop
condition. But, speaking generally the
price is pleasing to the most optimis-
tic.
The farmers have produced the
crop now being marketed at the loves
cost in the history of the cotton-rais
ing south. They have lived econom-
ically; used fertilizer judiciously, and
adopted every honorable means to
produce their crop at the smallest ex-
penditure.
In view of this, and with the likeli
hood of the cotton market reaching
1Oc, the business men of this section
believe that the farmers will be able
to liquidate their obligations brought
over from last year and in addition
pay their debts on this years crop.
If this situation can be brough;
about the South will undoubtedly face
an era of unprecedented prosperity.
We are not the optimist who will
contend that the present financial
stress is a mental and psychological
disease, but we do believe that it is
partially brought about by the persist
ent propensities of class of people
who can talk nothing but hard times
1t behooves every true and loval
to put his shoulder to the
wheel; make the best of conditions.

with good eer-obliterating the

Some complaint has come regarding
the giving of half the road in case Of
an automobile coming up behind
team. The parties claim that when
they come up behind a fellow with a
team he stubbornly refuses to give any
of the road no matter if there is plenty
of room to turn out Now the law
recognizes both the rights of both
the man with the team and the mar
with auto, and these rights should be
respected. There are plenty of men
who are running autos who should
be driving OK teams and visa versa.

IS THERE MONEY IN IT?

In the newspapers recently we saw
headlines such as these:
DEMON RUM LAUGHS AT THE

Despite Nation Wide Prohibition Move
"Whiskey Trust" Shows Grow
ing Profits.
The text reveals the financial mar
wells of the Distillers' Securities Cor
poration, sometimes called the "Whis
ky Trust"-and the marvels do not
justify the headlines. The annual re-
port of the concern state that in the
last three years, on capital stock OF
$30,S43, 480, the total ne tprofit earned
was S2,492,303, or a shade under 81
per cent per annum The demon" is
laughing on the wrong side of his
mouth. Over half the total profit not
ed above was made in the past year
during which time the Distillers' Sc,
curity Corporation, through subsid-
larry, has been furnishing enormous
quantities of denatured alcohol to
England and France for war purposes
The money in whisky seems to be in
making something else.
Has Your State Done This Yet!
Why is it? If railway president
