Gus 1915 for advertisers.

GUS 1915 for advertisers.
1915 will pass into history as an
unusual year-as a year of big bust
ness. During the early months of the
year business was not good. Nearly
everybody was pessimistic. War or
ders helped p little. but, taking it al
together, business for the first six
months Of 1915 was far behind the
corresponding period of 1914.
Early in the summer favorable crop
reports were received from the North
west, the Central West and the South
The harvest was much later than US
ual, but the general result was SPLEEN
did.
Nevertheless, general gloominess
continued. The weather was bad,
diplomatic complications were threat
ened, and capital was disposed to be
timid.
After a depressing August there was
sudden change for the better. In
September the wheels of commerce
began to revolve once more, the pes
sImists ran for cover, and the oph-
mists, after having had an enforced
vacation extending over two or three
years, were back on the job. Business
became good. healthy conditions were
restored, the fog of doubt lifted.
1t is safe to predict that in 1915 the
automobile and accessory manufac-
turers will have the best year in the
history of their business. Nearly eV-
cry manufacturer was oversold in
1915.
Nearly every automobile manufac-
turer underestimated the number of
cars that would be bought in 1915,
hence the entire industry benefited.
| The cars that were best advertised
were the first to be sold out; but the
unadvertised cars-the cars that were
| little known-got the benefit of the
excess demand.
Silent Salesmanship-Adv
will play more important part in the
big successes of 1916 than ever before.
Forcible Silent craftsmanship, which
is advertising in newspapers, backed
up by equally forcible personal sales
manship, will determine the varying
degrees of success aspired to by man
ufacturers in the coming year.
Concerns that have products which
the people want at a fair price will
have banner year between now and
the beginning of 1917, If the quality
of their advertising is right.
The heads of big business organize
tons are taking advertising more SER
iously than they have in the past.
They are using it in bigger, better
and broader way than formerly to
dovetail with and support the work
of their statesmen.
Silent Salesmanship is no longer a
gamble. 1t is part Of organized
sales effort. 1t stabilizes and stand
ardizes business, and you will find
that advertised products will reach
the pinnacle in sales during 1916.
The newspapers will be the largest
gamers in volume Of advertising dur
ing the coming year. They are rails
ing their standards, and giving better
service and cooperation to the adver-
tiser and the consumer. Hence they
are being rewarded by the receipt of
bigger and better patronage from the
/ advertiser.
Newspaper advertising is by far the

MISSISSIPPI EXCEEDED ONLY
BY ONE OTHER STATE
In Number of Dippings to Eradicate
Cattle Tick.

Washington, D. c.. Sept. 29.-The
next to the largest number of cattle
dippings ever made for cattle tick
In any one month in any state were
carried out in Mississippi in August
OF this year. In that time. the peo-
pie of Mississippi, who apparently
are not delaying tick eradication un-
til their recently passed State dip
ping law becomes compulsory on Jan
uary /, had provided l,O56 dippinp
vats, an increase of 80 over the num-
Der in operation in July, according
to field reports received by the L. s.
Department of Agriculture. In these
vats there were 7O5,424 supervised
dlppings of cattle. or an increase of
$4,000 over the dippings carried out
in July.
Texas, where herds of cattle are
larger, is the only state which has ex-
ceeded this number of cattle dipped
per month. In Texas, the dippings
for July We're 760,S46. and for Aug

AMES TALK TO GRENADA COUNTY CITIZENS
fOINIS OF LIKENESS BETWEEN AND BOIL wEEvU
HOW MUCH COTTON TO PLANT AND THE KIND OTHER
CROPS DISCUSSED. A PRACTICAL DISCUSSION
OF A PERTINENT MATTER

MIR. c. T. Ames, director of the
State Experiment Station at Holly
Springs, according to appointment
addressed about 100 of Grenada and
Grenada county citizens at the court
house last Monday night. Mr.. Ames
was presented in a few well chosen
words by J. w. Willis, district agent
OF the federal farm demonstration
forces.
Mr.. Ames first told his hearers
what the Holly Springs Experiment
Station was and what it had done.
lie said that no experiment station
could be run for profit for the rea-
son that it was intended for "experi-
mental purposes" that is, to try out
new propositions, to make mistakes
for the thousands of farmers in the
state. That it was better for one
farmer to make a mistake than for
all the farmers to make mistakes.
He told about how much was ex-
pended on the three Experiment Sta
tions, outside of the one at the A.
q M. College, in the state. He
showed by magic lantern slides the
character of land the Station was To-
Gated on and how the hill sides. gull
lies and bitches had been transform
ed by terracing into very desirable
and well producing property. He
said that the Station had much for
the farmers and the fact that they
did not have the benefit of more of
the experiments made there was be-
cause they had not availed themselves
of the farms opportunities.
Mr.. Ames discussed soils and their
for certain crops. He
said that the boil weevil, he believed,
had been sent to force the people to
keep the lands of the South from
going to waste. He said that cotton
had been raised year after year on
the same field until the lands had be-
come impoverished, that the farmers
had shut their eyes to experience and
observation and had refused to ro-
tate their crops, and now a pest had
been sent that was forcing upon the

we have ever seen; in fact, the writer
has been in the coal business more

such scarcity of coal cars. Our
mines IN Alabama and Western Ken
tucky have been working less than
half time, and some periods they are
shut down for two or three days in
succession for want of cars"
Another says:
We have never known conditions

URGES COLORED PEOPLE
TO STAY IN THE SOUTH
Well Known Negro Leader Gives
Some Very Solid Advice On
Subject.

The following letter appeared in
the jackson Daily News of Sept. "a
To the Colorcd People of Missis-
sippi: Nothing so much through
the press Of the great exodus of ne
groes from the South to the North,
I feel that someone familiar with
both sections should have something
to say concerning the matter, that
those who contemplate exchanging
the balmy and salubrious land of SUM-
shine for the cold and bleak North,
may act intelligently.
The question of moving anywhere
is always an important and serious
one, even from one part of the same
locality or state to another; hence,
when it comes to a stretch of several
hundred or thousand or more miles,
where you are to meet an entirely
different people, situation, conditions
and circumstances, the matter be-
comes far more serious.
In the first place, this is altogether
the wrong season of the year to
change climates when they differ as
widely as this section of the country
differs from the climate seven hun
dred or thousand miles north of us.
Dozens of maladies peculiar to cold
climates only await those not ac-
climated from the semi-tropical
Southland; principally among which
is that dreaded monster, tuberculo-
sis, which kills hundreds of thousands
more annually in the North because
of climatic conditions than in the
South, and it but stands to reason
that it would naturally have a pre-
dilection for those unacclimated to a
colder climate, and especially is this
true among negroes, who seem to be
especially vulnerable to its dreadful
ravages.

are accustomed to spending from IL
