JUD SHAW JUST COULDN'T
AFFORD TO ADVERTISE

Jud Shaw sold shoes and sealing
wax, and lamps, fishpoles and glue;
tobacco, candles, gum, and tacks
slickers and sardines, too; dry goods
and hams were in his line; he dealt
in peas and beans; he kept the gen
eral store, In fine-sold overalls and
jeans; but Jud, somehow. he wasn't
wise-"Couldn't afford to ADVERTISE
Not that he harbored any grudge
against his home town sheet; he
was, as anyone might judge. kind
ly man to meet; his customers he
treated fair, and yet he prospered
not; his goods were honest, one
would swear-he simply was forgot ;
for Jud, somehow, he wasn't wise
Couldn't afford to advertise"
Mail order firms from out of town,
much wiser in their day, paid liber-
ally for their renown, and gathered
in the hay; their catalogues went
everywhere; they advertised for
trade; their names went forth with
trumpet's blare, and, oh! the coin
they made; couldn't afford-they
were so wise-couldn't afford NOT
t. advertise.
Now, Jud's stuff it was just as
good; his prices were the same; the
loss was his; he simply WOULD
not spread abroad his name; though
townsfolks might have much pre-
ferred in their home mart to buy. of
Jud Shaw they had never heard
you know the reason why. for Jud,
somehow, he wasn't wise-"Couldn't
afford to ADVERTISED"

THE EVIL WORK OF A
CITY" CORRESPONDENT

An Ohio county space-filling cor
respondent to the city press, whose
stuff is read with small respect by
the citizens of that county, has scat
tered broadcast exaggerated reports
of the "possum hunter" troubles
there, and for some three dollars per
column, seems willing to SANDER the
people of his own vicinage.
There have been some "possum
hunter" outrages in Ohio county,
but as the correspondent referred to
lives in the center of the small area
of their operation there is little ex-
cuse for the false reports he has sent
out to the newspapers about their
operations.
There are more than thirty thous-
end good citizens in Ohio county and
the night marauders, who never
numbered more than two hundred
men and their operations were con-
fined to a small territory, should not
set the measure of Ohio county cit
izenship.
That the citizenship of that coun-
ty is sound to the core is shown by
the fact that already five "possum
hunters" have been tried, sentenced
and delivered to the penitentiary, a
greater number than were ever SEN
fenced before from any county in the
State.
The people of Ohio county have a
citizenship that believes in a govern
ment by law, and they have brave
sheriff and a fearless county attor-
ney from whom some other counties
in Western Kentucky might get a
valuable receipt for dealing with
"possum hunters"
AS a former Ohio county citizen,
the writer knows the facts, and he
has little patience with man who
will disgrace his home county wheth-
er by 7'possum hunting" or traduc-
ing it through the columns of the
press.-[J. H. T. in Kentucky Sun.

GENERAL PLOT TO
BLOCK BIG LOAN
Boycott Employed and
Threats Made.
COMMISSIONERS GO SINGLY
To Place Of Business, Fearing
Trouble-RunS On Banks
AreFeared.
SEEMS ORGANIZED MOVEMENT

New York, Sept. 16.-The pro-
German campaign against the fiota-
ton of a billion-dollar credit loan in
tie United States to Great Britain
and France appeared to-day to as
sumo the proportions of country
wide plot thre atening even the per-
sonal safety of the six members of
the Anglo-French financial commits
sion.
Members If this commission. of
which Lord Reading. Lord Chief Jus
tice of England. is chairman. have
doubled their bodyguards. it became
known to-day. They have been re-
quested by the police of New York
not to announce in advance their
plans for any day, and in no instance
appear on the streets without detec-
tives guarding them.
More than fifty threatening let
tiers have been received by the COM
mission. Their contents run the
scale from abuse to threats against
the lives of the commission. Some
of the most threatening of these let
tiers have been turned over to the
police for investigation, it is said,
and New York City detectives are
now reported to be engaged in seek
ing the writers.
Largely upon advice of the po-
lice, the commissioners do not visit
the financial section in a body or ev-
en- in couples. Each commissioner
travels through the streets of New
York unaccompanied by any other
commissioner. At least one detec-
tive is at the heels of each commits
sioner in his trips about the city, and
in some cases, it is said, there are
several.
Whether this active opposition is
sporadic in its nature or is organic
ed is not known. Bankers and 9TH
er callers at the headquarters of the
commission have expressed the view,
cleaned from their talks with the
commissioners, that the opinion of
the commissioners themselves is that
il is of an organized nature.
Other forms of the opposition to
the fiotation of the big loan. accord
ing to word received by the commits
sion to-day. have been evidenced in
widespread threats by German
American depositors that participa-
ton by the banks in which they have
their funds would be followed by
Withdrawals.
In the case of savings banks, the
commission heard, organized with
drawals of funds approaching the
magnitude or runs on the banks
were contemplated.

The October Woman's Home Com
DaniOn.

In the October Woman's Home
Companion William j. Burns tells
the first of a series of six true detec-
tive stories of big Burns cases in
volving women. Mr.. Burns calls
them my six most interesting de-
tective stories about women" The
first in the series is not only a good
story but it proposes an interesting
question to all women readers. What
would they. what would you, do un-
der similar circumstances? Would
you. or would you not, protect your
men-folks?
The October Companion contains
seventeen illustrated pages devoted
to news of fall and winter fashions.
Grace Margaret Gould. the fashion
editor. pursues her policy of show
ing women how they can dress in
fashion, and at the same time avoid
eXtravagant and foolish use of mon
ey. Miss Gould accomplishes the
task that she has set before herself
with great ability. Her presentation
OF fashions is interesting and at the
same time profoundly sensible.

And This Is the Truth.

William Jennings Bryan has said
many good things, but nothing bet
ter, according to our idea. than the
following; shut off the demand
for liquor, and there will be no sale.
No man can save others until he has
first saved himself" Here is a true
solution of the liquor problem
Don't drink; get those who do to
quit. and teach the youngsters not
to begin. If every man in this coun-
ty who was shouting for Statewide
during the late campaign would be-
some an absolute teetotaler, there
wouldn't be so many jugs. cases and
cartons going in the bac kdoors;
and bootleggers would have to go
out of business for the want of pat
ronage.-GMurray Times.

RAILROADS TO CALL IN THE
TW0-CENT MILEAGE BOOKS

= Effective December %. according to cir
culars issued by the railroads, the 2-cent
per mile mileage books will become
things OF the past, so far as being used
for interstate traffic is concerned. Notice
is given that on the date named. all such
books will be called in, and that In their
stead, II the holders desire, mileage books
sold on the basis Of S45 for 1000 miles will
be issued. In the event holders do not
want the books. cash representing the
unusued mileage will be sent TO the
holders.
The Increase in the charge OF mileage
books for interstate use is in keeping
with the recent decision of the Inter
state Commerce commission. permitting
the railroads TO charge "a cents per mile
on Interstate business. instead Of cents
per mile, as now.
The change in the price of mileage
books will have no effect upon those sold
for intrastate travel. but the presunp-
tion is that after the END OF the present
year there will not be any mileage books
sold for intrastate travel. However up
TO the present time there is no order out
on this class Of mileage.
