Worth $4,000 Each

Life insurance experts figure
that each young man and woman
of good habits and sound physique
is an asset to the nation as pro-
ducer or conserver of the wealth
TO the amount of 5000. There
are in the United States $4,000, 900
children and young people under
twenty-five years of age. At
$4,000 apiece they are an asset of
S4oo, ooo, 900 900. In mere dollars
and cents the youth Of our nation
are worth more than our coal, our
iron, our silver, our gold; more
than the cattle on thousand hills;
more than the grain from million
fields. And the legalized liquor
traffic IS the ruthless destroyer of
youth. 1t begins the work of de-
struction before birth, handicaps
boys and girls physically and NOR
ally and renders tens of thousands
not only unable to produce or
conserve their quota OF So, 900
but makes of them dependents
and undesirables, an economic loss
to the nation and a menace to its
stability.

CASE OF LONG STANDING
AFTER Lawyers Had Testified Relative
70 Custom, Court Decided Custom
Did Not Exist as a Hard and
Fast Formally Adopted Rule.


Shreveport
A unique case in which practicing
attorneys were the plaintiffs. defend
ants and witnesses was settled when
Judge John R. Land held that Attor-
neys j. A. Thigpen and S. L. HeroId
we're entitled 10 collect a fee from ]
y. Slattery, an attorney retired from
active practice before the bar al.
though a member of the Shreveport
Bar Association. Thigpen and Her
old brought suit some time ago to col
lect $4,000, less a credit of $500. for
services rendered Attorney slattery
in a land title case tried before the
state and federal courts. the secretary
OF the interior and the commissioners
OF the United States Land Office at
Baton Rouge and the general land of.
tice in Washington, the litigation ex-
tending over period Of six years.
As the result, J. B. Slattery was
granted a patent to lands worth at
least $4,000, He contested the claim
for fees on the ground that it was "a
we'll established custom Of the Shreve
port bar that attorneys representing
fellow practitioners in litigation did
so without expecting any fee" After
several attorneys had testified rela,
tive to this custom. Judge Land decid.
ID that the custom does not exist as
hard and fast formally adopted rule,
.a' is a matter OF ne. sonal courtesy
between attorneys. and exists at all
only In cases where such gratuitious

This incident is illustrative Of
existing manufacturing and mer-
chandising methods and conditions
that are of vital Importance to you
and every other consumer.
There are two distinct classes of
merchants on the market: Standard
goods of known quality, backed by
reputable makers, aud goods of I'M
known or doubtful quality and
origin. 1t should not be difficult
matter to Judge which class offers
you greatest advantages.
Have you ever asked yourself
the question: What do advertisers
get in return for their advertising
expenditures" Only two things
the Good Will and Confidence OF
the public in products bearing
their names and trademarks. Their
advertising output simply repre-
sents an investment in their names
or tradenames, and they therefore
cannot under any circumstances
afford to inperil these investments
by breaking faith with the public.
On the other hand, makers who
have spent no money advertising
can change their brands at will
with practically no loss to them
selves, as they have no such in
vestments to protect. Whenever
their products fail to give satisfac-
ton, and are consequently no
longer desired, the only trouble
and expense necessary is a change
of lLandA.ap labels Labels -
A little study and consideration
If the question will convince even
he most skeptical person that the
only sure protection
against shoddy goods and exhor-
1itant prices lies solely in the re-
manufacturer of known
quality products.
