CAN'T AFFORD IT.

The other day a merchant said he
could not afford ~ advertise in his home
newspaper. If the mans view were
not distorted, he would see that be
could not afford not to advertise. Re-
fusing to advertise is his most expen-
sive extravaganza. That same mer-
chant will spend hours telling Of the
unfair" competition of the mail-order
houses which are his most aggressive
and dangerous competitors, yet the
methods employed by the mail order
order houses which succeed are the very
ones which the merchant refuses to
use. The mail-order house first of all
is an ADVERTISER. Advertising is
the life of its business, Every maya
zine that enters the small town and ru-
raj home carries the ad of the mail
order house. Expensive catalogs are
printed showing the illustrations of the
actual articles. Occasionally sheets
are scattered broadcast over the coun
try as a special "come-on" for the bar
gain hunter. Instead of doing these
things in a smaller way through the
columns of his local paper, the mer-
chant who can't afford to advertise sits
down and "cusses" his tough luck and
wonders why he can't get the business.
He never thinks he has better oppor-
tunity to reach the people in his neigh
hood than the mail order house has. 1t
doesn't cost him as much as it does the
outsider; he can draw the people to his
store and show them the actual article
he is advertising, and, when they buy,
they can take their purchases home
with them instead of having to wait
several weeks for them. Advertising
is an investment. 1t should be charged
to your selling cost. Figure what per-
centage you have to pay to advertise,
then base fifty-two weeks campaign
on the computation. You can't lose. !
You can't afford NOT to advertise!

oder Bur STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, Is sound advice, because in the
strength OF middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when cider, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food, tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS.

The good roads movement in West
Tennessee had a big boost on last
Thursday when all towns and commu.
mites along the Fulton-Memphis high
way quit business of every kind and de-
voted the day to the construction of
that road. Hills were cut down and
curves cut out and the road was put in
good condition, much of it being COM
pleted along the entire distance. 1t
was great day and the spirit which
prevailed throughout the campaign and
on the day of the working has done
much to encourage other communities.
1t was case of the people turning out
to build this road for themselves, and
farmers, merchants, doctors, lawyers,
and all the rest joined hands for the
construction of this thru road, and the
results are gratifying to those who
were leaders in the project.

A Somerville Man Gives

His Testimony will Interest every

His Testimony will Interest every

The value of local evidence is indis-

accept as true because we know we
can prove it for ourselves. There has
been plenty of such evidence in the
Somerville papers lately, and this
straightforward testimony has estab-
lished a confidence in the minds of
Somerville people that will not be east
ly shaken.

We've been preaching buy-at- home
sermons almost weekly for years, and
we are wondering if the merchants and
business men of Fayette county have
noticed it. Do they practice it? If
not they have little kick on the other
fellow. AS long as merchants buy their
printing outside the county have they
good grounds for preaching the buy-at-
home doctrine?

On August IL, if plans carry. the
people of the southern end of the
county will meet with their teams and
road working implements and spend the
day working the State Line road from
Moscow to the Shelby county line near
Collierville- Recently most enthusi-
astic road gathering was held at
Moscow and the people of that city
heard good-rosds argument and spent
q whole day enthusing themselves on
this important matter. The plan is to
divide the road mentioned into sections
and give to each section e sufficient
number of men and teams to build il
into first class road in the day, thus
making continuous good road from
Somerville by Moscow to the Shelby
county line to connect with the pike
there. Other sections Of the county
could profit by following the lead of
the southern end Of the county and
using this season which is between busy
times with farmers and business men
alike. and il could not be used to better
advantage than in building better roads.

this kind, the overlooking of hidden
bodies of water will be very much
minimized
In conclusion, let it be reiterated
that the malaria carrier must first of
all be eliminated. We will probably
always have mosquitoes but we can at
least try to limit the pest as much as
Iossihle.

With the call for a senatorial primary
for November 20 the campaign for
United States senator to succeed Luke
Lea is fairly on. 1t is stated in the
capitol city that there will probably be
four or five candidates in the race and
the campaign promises to be lively
one.

Mosquitoes lay eggs only upon water.
They require that this water is still.
Wherever there is much current, there
can be no danger breeding places unless
there is vegetation, which will restrain
the free flow of water.
Bodies of water that can not be drain
ed. emptied or oiled should be stocked
with minnows or ducks. Ducks are
the most active and energetic larva
eaters known. Bats rapidly clear mos
quitoes from their neighborhood.
Screening. Screens should be of
a mesh not less than 16 to the linear
inch. The most effective screen is the
all over screen, fitted on the outside of
the blind stop. This permits of COM
plete ventilation, as both the top and
bottom sash can be moved. 1t gives
good contact one inch wide all around
and is the only screen frame that does
not leak. For the front Of the house
where it is desirable to show the hang
ings through the glass, half screens
are permissible, but these also should
be fitted on the outside of the blind
stop. A railor cleat is fitted at the
upper rail to make close joint with
the bottom rail Of the top sash. This
can be made to swing out at the bottom
and in most instances this will fall
back into place without making leak.
In any case hook and eye at the bot
tom is desirable.
The number of openings in a screened
house should be limited as much as
possible. Upstairs doors opening upon
porches are best handled by screening
the entire porch. The downstairs open
ings should be Yestihuted so that one
has to pass two screen doors TO get in
to the house. This plan takes care of
the fiend who insists upon standing in
the open screen door and carrying on
lengthy conversation. II is necessary,
of course, to exercise enough vigilance
to keep the vestibule itself clear Of
mosquitoes.
Fire places must be made mosquito
proof and also easements and servants
quarters.
In extreme case this system can be
with mosquito bars. A
screened porch is very desirable. IL
this is infessible, one should anoint
with one of the various aromatic oils
recommended for that purpose.

ITALYS ACTION

Regardless of the fact that Italy was
member of the triple alliance there
was further reason for Germany de-
string that it should remain neutral or
at least if it was going to join in
the war not to do so on the side of
the allies. Italy has a war rating of
100000 men and it has even been
claimed that her strength could be
easily increased to over 1000, 900 while
it has a navy of proportions which
cannot be ignored. 1t is also so To-
Gated that its entrance into the strug-
gle as an opponent closes an i'm
portant avenue through which many
supplies have been received by both
Germany and Austria-H Hungary since
the war opened.
Italys decision means the throwing
into tine fight for immediate action
just as soon as the proper time ar
rives CT a force which is larger than
Kitchener has just called for from
Great Britain. 1t means fresh troops,
O. new front which will tax the re-
sources of what is left of the alliance
and the drawing upon the reserve and
those troops which are now engaged
in other operations in a manner which
they hoped to avoid. 1t is a step
which is also bound to have it's in
nuence upon other nations in that sec
ton which have been holding to their
proclaimed neutrality. 1t will bring
out the understanding which it has
been claimed existed between Italy
and Roumania and makes it easier for
Bulgaria and Greece to take up arms
IN behalf of their national ambitions.
There are points where Italy could
throw its strength which might have
a more direct influence upon the out
come of the war, but how much it can
and will participate therein for the
direct assistance of the allies must be
determined by the resistance it en-
counters in carrying out it's own pro-
gram,

IMPOSED ON HIS COUNTRY.

Although he used the fact that he
was an American citizen in his en-
deavor to escape the punishment of
a spy after being caught red handed
in London and as he Acknowledges be-
ing given "a fair trial in the United
Kingdom no greater admission of
guilt could have been made by Anton
Kuepferle than was made by his act
in committing suicide. Not only did
he confess his guilt as q soldier in
the employ of the German government
engaged in locating vessels of the
British government and relying upon
invisible writing to get his message
through the censor bureau, but he fully
understood that his citizenship in this
country could not eliminate him from
the responsibilities of his acts and the
penalty for his crime
Kuepferle had the right to return
to the fatherland, as he is reputed to
have done, when war broke out, and
enlist in the German army or to ally
himself with any of the belligerents,
but when he did so he cut off all claim
which he had upon this country to act
as his protector in such an emergency
as he forced himself. His entrance into
London and his freedom to carry on
his work for the German government
was insured through the fact that he
was citizen of this country. He made
full use of the false position in which
he stood and it is such performances
which can act only to the discredA
of such men. Such receptions or the
possibilities are what make it neces-
sary to guard SO strictly the issuance
of American passports. 1t is a prac-
tice which would never be tolerated
if it were known for it simply tends
to the lessening of the value of each
and every American passport that is
issued. There can only be contempt
for such imposition whenever or how
ever it is practiced.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Clean Up Week.

Mr.. Editor: The 'FClean Up Week.
proclamation of the mayor published
in The Bulletin of this morning is
all right.
Coming down town after breakfast,
met one of our best known ladies
whose name stands for efficiency in
everything. She said the Mayors
proclamation was good-but why can't
we have clean up weeks all the timer
Perhaps for the same reason that
some houses and yards don't have
clean up week. all the time. The
trouble is, with the cleaner.
In the case of the city, who is the
cleaner?
There the responsibility becomes di-
vided between officials and the gen.
erai public.
In proportion to the division of re-
sponsibil!ty, the difficulty increas-
es Under the Prussian system there
would be no such division. The off,
Gals would attend to the whole mat
ter or lose their official heads. Under
our way of doing things municipal,
the difficulty can be overcome only by
mutual understanding and systematic
cooperation between the official and
the citizen.
For instance, the mayors good fore
word might be followed by vast

the collection and transportation of
ashes, general refuse and garbage.
This would imply some pretty stiff
enforcement of ordinances for the sep
aration of ashes from CARRIAGES, and a
willing cooperation by those citizens
who now pollute the atmosphere of
the sidewalks by an indiscriminate
mixture.
Again, city carts should and might
be much less liberal than they are, in
the distribution of light ashes and
scraps of paper along the streets as
they collect their loads-especially on
windy days.
This is not as easy as it might
seem, for it involves not only strict
orders from official headquarters, but
an equally strict obedience to those
orders by the collectors; and behind
all that, cards equipped to securely
hold their contents-a point where we
are surpassed by some other cities.
The whole subject is too big to be
comprised in a letter of this kind.
After all, the main responsibility
lies with the people themselves.
If public opinion demands-and ever
demands-clean streets, clean side
walks, clean parks, clean door steps
and yards, those conditions will come
and come to stay.
1t is a question Of time. patience and
education.

plaintiff no satisfaction. It virtually
declares that from the evidence which
was produced, even though a portion
of what was considered the most
damaging had been introduced before
the jury and then excluded, the plain
tiff had no reason to take offense at
what was said and seek to get dam
ages at law. Notice of appeal, how
ever, indicates that the end is not yet
and this contest may string along for
many months.
Though the verdict justifies the
statements made about Mr.. Barnes,
the testimony has been of such char
acter that both the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT have suffered. It has not add
ed anything creditab1e to the record
of Mr.. Roosevelt but shown, as has
been so often maintained, that his
loudly proclaimed stand against cor
rupt politics didn't come until after
he had himself INDUCED in political
practices for the advancement of his
personal interests, and practices which
were especially boss favored. Public
opinion takes into consideration more
than the legal question involved.

by the hundreds until finally they
had to give up. We, however, re-
manned in the trench, for if we had
advanced after them they would
surely have defeated us.
The fight that night lasted about
half an hour, and after the smoke
cleared away we could see nothing
but dead Germans in the front of our
trenches. The sight nearly turned me
sick. Our artillery played havoc
among the German troops. We lost
but a few men in the trenches, and
it was the first battle we were in.
The Germans did not attempt another
attack until two days later. On that
night which was Thursday, April g.
shortly before 9 o'clock, the Germans
began to throw gas bombs near our
trench. They nearly suffocated US.
Our general, seeing that if we stayed
in the trench we would all be suffo-
Gated, gave the order to retreat. We
fell back about mile and the Ger
mans captured a number of our
About Is minutes later We got the
order to attack.
It was simply horrible. I was ex-
pecting every minute to be killed, for
my comrades were falling all about
me. We charged the Germans and
were running and yelling like mad
men. 1t was a hand to hand fight
and the Germans were being forced
back, when a shell lit in front of us,
killing our officer and a number of
men and wounding 10 of US. I was
picked up unconscious and rushed to
barn nearby, where a few doctors
were bandaging the wounds of the
men who were being brought in.
After the wounds were dressed, the
wounded, which included myself
were sent to a French town called
Boulogne, where I was operated on
a 0nI1Tla nf DAVIS later IUhar7 I c
able to sit up the doctors told me
that we had won great victory and
captured our guns and drove the Ger
mans back several miles.
1 was in the hospital at Boulogne
for two weeks and was then sent to
the hospital at Have Sussex Eng
land. And this latter place is some
swell place, for it is one of the
mansions turned into a hospital. We
get treated fine and have the best
to eat. Rich people come around in
their automobiles and drive us around
the town. We were taken to a show
this afternoon, about Is of US. AS
we entered the theatre We were
cheered and clapped, as a wounded
soldier from the front is just as great
as being the King of England. The
English people have the greatest re-
spect for the wounded soldiers and
are not slow in showing their graft
tude.
I am reading the papers every day
and from the casualty list 1 find that
nearly all our officers have been
killed. 1 don't know if I shall again
be sent to the front. It will be some
time, however, before 1 go. I must
say 1 do not want to see such a hor-
ribie sight again as the battle through
which I went at Ypres. 1t was a
horrible sight. l am getting along
nicely and there is no cause for you
to worry.
With love, SAM.
