HONGKONG, August 1.-The Siam
csc government has appropriated
$685., 900 for the preliminary expenses
in connection with the Prasak irriga-
ton project, which will ultimately
cost $4,250,000. This scheme provides

ter yesterday by a drove of grass
hoppers that were attracted to the

Ben Murray was hauled in this

and under the care of the assist
ant coroner. Ben engaged in a
fight at Coon Holler with a fellow
and after it was all over an argu-
ment arose between them as to
who got the best of the difficulty.
This brought on another fight,
which was quite severe. The by

YOUR LOCAL PAPER

We think the home merchant
never had more sincere or con-
slant companion than We are. We
have always and continuously adj
vocated the patronage of the local
merchant exclusively because we
are quite certain that the individ-
ual life and future of the commun-
ity-not only the town and people
who live in town-but the whole
community, is bound up in the fight
of the home merchant against the
mail order house.
There are times, however, VIXEN
we feel that we are taking lot
more interest in the Issue than
the merchants themselves are, Our
interest is naturally bound up with
theirs, but after all, it is the mer-
chants themselves who have the
most at stake and if they choose
to ignore the inroads of the mail
order houses, why should we wor-
nv? One little word tells the story
of the successful methods of the
mail order house-advertising. Ev-
crlasting and continuous advertis-
ing--expensive and up-to-date adj
vertising. The genuine sort Of add
vertising that takes no count of
the cost so long as the results
are satisfactory; advertising that
is difficult to prepare and expensive
to distribute.
Still in view of these things
and with the greatest advertising
weapon in the world at their com
mand, there are many merchants
who viii sit back and say, sAdver-
Using don't do me any good" or
at don't pay in my business" or
"they'll come in and buy from me
anyway when they want anything
/ have" or "the ads cost too much
money! can't afford it," or a
thousand and one other excuses
familiar to the. man who solicits
advertising for the local papers.

YOUNG MAN, WHO ARE YOUR

Are you known by your own
name, or are you known merely
as your fathers son?
Are you known by your own
good qualities and by your own
acts, or are you remembered sim
ply because you bear the name of
better people who conceivd you
and brought you into this world?
The young man who can look his
elders straight in the eye and say

opportunity at his feet, but the
fellow who can say nothing better
than that "he is Robert Martins
son" will still be cropping in the
darkness of the future after OPP
portunity has vanished in the dis
lance.
BE something, do something,
create a personality of your own,
and the world will know you and
respect you for what you are and
not for what your parents were
before you.
But continue content as "another
mans son" and you will be ac-

when death overtakes you your
