FAKE ADVERTISING
NAILED BY THE
TRADES BODY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ADOPTS
RULE PLACING BAN ON WILD.
CAT ADVERTISING SCHEMTS-
ENDORSE LOCAL PAPERS

The officers and commissioners of
the Chamber of Commerce held a very
busy meeting yesterday at 4 o'clock
at the Windsor Hotel. One of the
very best moves at the meeting was
the passing of a resolution that in fu-
ture all advertising schemes will have
to be passed upon by the publicity di-
vision of the Chamber of Commerce
and carry their endorsement to get the
members of the organization to pat
ronize them. OF course, this is not to
apply to the local press, as the local
newspapers are considered legitimate
advertising mediums.
In many instances the merchants are
imposed upon by fake advertising
schemes that have no merit at all, but
they contract for out-of-town adver-
tising, and throw their money away,
getting no benefit from this kind OF
publicity. But now they can refer the
party soliciting them to the Chamber
Of Commerce for their endorsement.
President Glover, Vice-President Oil
yer and Secretary Hyman will be the
committee in charge of this matter, un-
til the regular publicity committee is
appointed by President Glover.
The resolution as passed by the
commissioners is as follows: THAT
the members of the Chamber of Com
merce are not obligated to, or should
they consider placing an advertisement
in any medium offered, other than the
local press, unless such advertisement
bears the endorsement of the commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce,
which will be the Publicity Division.
Until such time as they are appointed,
the President, Vice President and Sec
retary shall constitute this committee
and carry out the provisions of this
resolution"
This is a step in the right direction
and the Times-Recorder agrees with
the commissioners, that our merchants
are often imposed upon by advertising
solicitors. There is no better medium
for merchant to advertise his busi-
ness than through the local press and
he is sure that it will go direct to the
readers and will bring results.

BELGIAN POWDER FACTORY
OPENED BY GERMANS

HAVRE, May 24.-News has been
received from Holland to the effect
that the Germans have discovered the
secret of the manufacture of a special
powder produced at the Cautelle fac
tory near the Dutch border in Belgium
and are keeping the works going night
and day. When the Belgians evacuated
the region they flooded the powder
magazines instead of blowing them up.
The Germans re-opened the factory i'm
mediately on occupying the region but
the employees refused to work and
were expelled into Holland.
The laboratories had been walled up
and secret underground vaults con-
tanning plans and archives enclosed in
heavy masonry and then covered with
earth. The Germans explored the
ground continually and finally un>
earthed the secret. They are said to
have succeeded in drying 80 tons of
powder that had been flooded. The
powder manufactured there was of q
special kind used in cartridges made at
the national arms factory at Herbsthal
near Liege.

Roads In Montenegro.

The excellence of the roads of Monte
negro is asserted in a communication
describing that country addressed to
the National Geographic society by
George Higgins Moses. former United
States minister to Greece and Monte
negro. In telling what King Nicholas.
the present ruler. has accomplished in
he fifty-four years of his reign. Mr..
Moses writes that when Nicholas as
cended the throne only few difficult
trails threaded the hills of the country.
while now Il splendid network of roads
connects the principal points of the
kingdom. He adds that ''it may be said
OF Montenegro alone among nations
that wherever one may go Mt all in a
wheeled conveyance one may go in an

AUTUMN WORK
FOR GOOD ROADS
All Distractions Should Be
Removed.
TRIM THE GUTTER LINES.

Dead and Dangerous Trees Should e.
Cut Away and Burned; Also Brush,
eriers and Other Growth Should Be
Destroyed.
To be quite plain about it, says
writer in the Farm Progress, the less
actual digging and blowing, ditching
and piling up of dirt done during the
fall months the better for the roads.
That is one of the things that have
made American country roads about
the worst in the world.
Road work ought to be well out OF
the way before midsummer. OF course
it is not, but that would be the ideal
way of getting the highways i'll the
best of shape. Flowing, scraping.
grading and filling ought to be done
early enough in the summer to give all
the newly moved earth time to settle
down.
Where this is done about all that it
is necessary to do i'll the fall is to run
the drag over the road and fill up any
holes that may have been scooped out
in the wheel track. To attempt any
thing more is to make it very certain
that the newly worked stretch Of road
will be regular uuaginire some time
before the first of the year.
OF course there is always some re-
pairing that may be done unless the
culvertS and bridges have all been re-
built lately During the summer the
earth may have been worn away from
culvert or bridge approach, and
where this happened it should be re-
filed and the approach put into good
shape by the use of great deal of
broken rock and gravel. To put i'll dirt
will merely make Il bad matter much
worse. as soon as the road gets soft.
Other work that may be done with
profit now is the clearing OFF all OBJ
structions from the right OF way. Dead
and dangerous trees may be cut away
and burned now as we'll as ut any
other time. Brush may be cleaned off
the right of way and destroyed and
briers and other growth taken out. 1t
will do little good to cut and burn the
weeds ut this time in the Year, since
all of them have naturcd and are
ready to scatter seed
Trimming up the gutter lines and the
opening of the side bitches is work
that may be done in the fall and, in
fact, should be done then. The cutters
| and clllverts will handle more water
ia the winter than at amy other time.
| and if they are clean and lined up as
| they ought to be there will not be So
many washed out places in the high
ways next spring.

CONVICTS BUILD ROADS.
Colorado Prisoners Have Constructed
Most Beautiful Drive.

Colorado convicts have worked the
roads of that state with much success.
Thomas J. Ryan. IL new warden of the
penitentiary. has started many prison
reforms in that state one of which is
the placing of many prisoners in
camps and working them on roads.
Harper's Weekly says of this work:
The convict, road camps are the
pride of Tom Ryan's heart. He be-
lieves that convict labor is going to
solve the road problem of the nation.
Furthermore. he is proving his theories
in practice. Canon City convicts have
built some of the finest highways in
the world. including the celebrated
''sky line drive" extending along Il hog

ley and Offering Il superb view OH both
sides. At present a big road gang OF

WoMAN's RELIEF ASSOCIATION
ASKS ASSISTANCE.

A very important meeting of the
Woman's Cooperative Relief Asso-
citation viii be held this afternoon at
five o'clock, at the residence of the
president, Mrs. j. S. Gaughey, on
North Spring street, and it is hoped
that all who can possibly arrange to
do so, will attend this meeting, as
there are a number Of matters to re-
ceive attention.
The Woman's Cooperative Relief
Association has, for several years,
been engaged in work of very great
value to the community. This asso-
citation, in measure, takes the place
of the Associated Charities, and the
fact that the organization is facing a
very serious need of assistance,
should induce many to attend the
meeting, and to give the work their
earnest support.
A number Of letters have been
sent out by the president to business
men of the city, asking for help in
alleviating conditions of want and
suffering in Pensacola, induced by the
present financial stIingency, which
Pensacola, with other cities, is suf-
fering.
The fact must be faced here, as it
is being faced elsewhere, that there
are many who must have assistance
at this time of stress. Everyone who
has enough can give little from that
share of the worlds goods, and those
who have plenty, should certainly
give of that plenty to aid those who
are today asking for help-many of
whom have never had to ask for as
sistance of any kind.
The president Of the association re-
quests that if there are any who have
not been called upon to help in the
work of the Woman's Cooperative
Relief Association, that they will con-
slider the press notices as invitation:
to respond, in so far as is possible
to this call for assistance in the work
of relieving the great necessity Of
many who are suffering from misfor
tune, or from the fact that they arr
out of employment.
