Tells Merchants How to Write
Their Ads.

Four definite rules for writing
advertisements for newspapers
we're recently outlined by j. B
Powell, instructor in advertising in
the University of Missouri at Co
lumbia, in speech before the Iowa
Retail Lumberman's Association
Mr.. Powell said:
| Forget about yourself your
customers are not interested in you
until you have demonstrated you
are worth while.
2 Pick out a definite person in
your community whose trade you
desire and write your ad directly
at that person. If you interest him
you will interest hundreds of
others.
3 Talk i'll your advertisement
just as you would talk if the pros
pective customer were in your
store Be honest, for exaggerations
do not influence persons ady more.
not even in circus ads.
4 Use plenty of good pictures
in your ads for a picture of a new
spring suit will tell more than a
page Of description.
Mr.. Powell said these rules for
writing advertisements were of as
much importance to farmers in the
sale of their products through ad-
vertisements in the local newspa.
pers, as they we're to merchants in
selling their merchandise, He also
SAID that if these rules are followed
it makes it much easier for custo-
mers to do their buying, for they
can quickly look over their news
papers and choose the merchandise
they they are interested in.

EXPLAIN THIS J

We hope there is no truth to the
report that the county commissioners
will hold special unannounced
meeting early this morning to railroad
through Mr.. Rommel's appointment
as highway engineer for Escambia
county.
Why, indeed, should there be such
unseemly haste? The appointment
can not become effective until October.
What, then, is back of the wild rush
to put a man on the pay roll whose
work in Pensacola has been subjected
to such severe criticism, and who has
not shown the highway experience to
justify his selection to administer fifty
thousand dollars year of the peoples
money?
Even the people have some rights,
Messrs. Commissioners. When you
took your oath of office you swore to
conserve their interests to the best of
your ability.
Are you keeping your trust in making
an appointment months before neces-
sary, without even trying to find the
most suitable and efficient man avail
able in the entire United States. @
At least one-and, maybe, two
commissioners are pledged to vote
against Rommel, but to the others
we say: What's Rommel to you or
you to Rommel?
The probe of public inquiry may go
deeper than you think

MARINE FASHION NOTE.

Somebody may have told you sailors
trousers were wide at the bottom so they
could be pulled up around the hip when the
sailor is wading
Well, that's q handy argument all right,
but nobody thought of that when the loose
trouser was decided on
When King George II. of Great Britain
opined he'd put his sailors in uniform, he
had picked gold-laced tunic of scarlet,
with tight blue pantaloons
But just then the Duchess of Bedford
came by in riding habit that took the
cake for neatness
The king ordered a young sailor to put
that habit on, The sailor did-not, of
course, until Mrs. Duchess had gone home
and changed her garb and come back with
the riding buds all wrapped in bundle.
Now cut the skirt up the back and front
in the middle" said the king, who was a
little muddled in his speech, as became a
king,
They did
Sew seams, hic. on the inside" said the
king.
They did
And there was born the universal sailors
uniform with the wide-bottomed loose
trousers and the V-cut neck, now worn the
world over
Who says women's fashions have no in
auence on history?

PROTEST APPOINTMENT
OF GEO. ROMNIELL

Editor Journal:
I have just learned that our coun-
ty commissioners are consid2r--~ Mr..
Geo. Rommell, former civil engineer
of this city, for the position of road
engineer.
Now I have nothing against Mr..
Rommell as man, but as a city en-
gineer, everyone knows the condition
Of everything that was done under
his supervision, viz: The sewer sys-
tem-we are told needs to be rebuilt
entirely to make it satisfactory; The
paving, especially on Palafox street,
where the two car tracks make two
bitches down the middle of the street
so when it rains it Is almost impossi-
BILE to cross the street without wading
or doing some long jumps. It was
also under his supervision that the
bay was in danger of being pumped
into the sewer down near st. Mich
ael's cemetery, with a small gasoline
engine driven pump and several men
sitting around measuring how fast
the water was going down, when the
tide fell. IF anyone can mention any
work he did for the city that was sat
isfactory, we would IKE to hear Of it.
Now everyone knows our county is
out of funds and the county demon
stration agent is about to be dis
pensed with; we have been promised
for several years to have the road
to the Lillian ferry hardened from
Millview down to Cummins' Point,
and if they now appoint Mr.. Rom
nell as county road engineer, I think
it will be the straw that will break
the camePs back, anu the people
ought to take steps to put such a set
out of office, as they have already
done enough to be ashamed of.
Yours truly,
G. G. KEYSER.

FLORIDA SCHOOLS.

If "Buy at Home" is a good slogan,
what's the matter with ATTEND Florida
Schools"
There are good schools in other states,
but they are no better than we have in
Florida. There may be larger buildings
and more students in the schools of more
populous states, but the opportunities for
acquiring knowledge are just as good at
Gainesville, Tallahassee, DeLand, Winter
Park, Lake City, Sutherland, Tampa, Or
lando, Jacksonville and other points in
Florida, as at schools we could name in
other states.
Boys and girls who leave Florida and
spend years away from the home state
form acquaintance whom they must leave
behind when they return comparative
strangers to their community. Whatever
the calling is that may be contemplated by
boy or girl, it is better to get knowledge
of it among the people they expect to live
with
Conditions are different in different
states. The laws are different. Crops and
material resources differ. Manufacturing
interests are different. Therefore the need
of young men and women of state being
educated in their own state in whatever
may be their bent, and at the same time
familiarizing themselves with all phases of
life in commonwealth in which thew are
to play part. This will not be an easy
matter if the character forming period is
spent in distant region.

ECONOMIC ATAvIsM.


Abandoning the farm demonstration
work is a bitter pill for the men who have
worked so hard for the agricultural de-
velopment of this region.
Escambia has been heralded far and near
as the banner county of West Florida, and
now, in one fell moment, the board has un--
done the work of five years.
I'VE can't find room in the budget for
$500 salary appropriation" is the plt1tul
excuse. "The six hundred dollars that Will
bring an equal federal appropriation is too
much for us to raise. We do not think the
cause of agricultural education sufficient
to warrant Our looping off six hundred dol
lars of useless expenditure IN other places
and applying it to the purpose. We do not
think the demonstration agent, who this
year saved thousands upon thousands OF
dollars of hogs from cholera is worth an
effort on our part to raise 5000. We do
not think that his endeavor to secure mar
kets for our produce is worth anything.
Having spent all our lives Undertaking
and turpentine bleeding, we are too thor
ougtly conversant with the modern science
of agriculture to need any instruction"
Yes, that's the reason the county board
advance for not raising the $500. Yet the
county board right now are trying to Dor
row So, 500 on next years appropriation, al
though they know its questionable legality,
to spend on road work, not content with
their failures in that line to date.
But the people have right to know il
that is the only reason. They have right
to know if it was really, truly impossible
for the county board to squeeze out a
measly six hundred dollars, or if they
simply don't care If they were not pro-
gressive enough to withstand the agitation
of certain ho1d-back element.
How anybody with any business in
terests in Pensacola could sit quietly by
and allow the monstrous abandonment to
be accomplished without proclaiming aloud
the infamy until the very stones in the
streets took up the cry, passes all compre-
hension. Pensacola is not manufac-
turing center-it must, therefore, depend
on the country. 1t cannot subsist by the
fishing and stevedore industries-our
money must come from the grain and
cattle of the back country. In the school
of hard experience, the business men of
Pensacola learned these things, and they
have been working for the past five years
to develop agriculture. The employment
of farm demonstrators placed the prize of
prosperity almost within reach; they were
already planning for the big things of next
year and the year after, and suddenly the
county commissioners swept away every
vestige of the progress so laboriously
builded.
These be bitter things to say about ones
home, ones country, in which one still has
faith. But they are the truth and the truth
must be faced. To let the farm demonstra-
ton work go was economic atavism.
We must get back the demonstration
agent next year at the latest Our future
depends on it. If the incoming board OF
commissioners have not determined already
to re-estab1ish the work, it is time that the
progressive element of Escambia county
took their education in hand to bring
about change of heart
