The Lakeland evening telegram., 1917-02-17

Forty-eight thousand pounds of mail
order catalogues came in one ship
they are received in Lakeland in simi-
lar quantities. The expense of print
ing and distributing these $4,000 cat
alogues doubtless was as much as all
the merchants of Ocala spend in ad-
vertising during year; but they sit
idly by and let the mail order houses
take the business from them. And
these same observations apply with
equal force to Lakeland business men,
or, at least, large number of them.

The most valuable asset any man
can acquire is credit. The ability
to borrow money to expand ones
business, or to make a profitable in
vestment is worth far more than an
inherited fortune. The most pro-
gressive men in every community.
the men who are doing things. the
llen of character and standing, are
usually in debt. They are ahle to
be In debt, because people have con-
ildence in them, and because they
can afford TO owe money. Young men
should strain every nerve to estab-
lish and maintain credit Ii they
fal to do so, they will never make
any substantial success. The Live
Oak Democrat touches on the inn
p9rtance of credit in the following
paragraph
The late Edward H. Hartman.

"DIMMER, LAW PASSES.

A large number of owners of auto
mobiles will have to equip their cars
with DINNER" lights this summer, or
leave their cars in the garage after
dark The present legislature passed
a law which provides that autos can
not use a light of more than four
candle power, equipped with re-
flector, nor which will throw light
which will rise over AZ inches from
the ground at 70 feet from the car.
No spot light can be used unless it
throws it's light to the ground with
in distance of thirty feet of the car.
Many of the later makes of cars are
equipped with DINNER" lights, but
many of the older cars will have to
be equipped with new system of
lighting. While this will entail some
expense to the owners it is a good
solution to the problem ofplacing some
sort of check on large number of
drivers, who allow head
lights on their cars to blind the
driver of horse drawn vehicles O: a
car equipped with smaller lamps The
new law goes into effect July 9TH,

HORSES ARRIVE SAFELY.
(Greeley Home Press.)


On Saturday evening the Eolbert
Horse Importing Co., received 40
head of horses from France and the
animals, with the exception of be.
ing thin, looked mighty well.
F. H. Holbert, representing his
company, bought these horses in
France in January, and it took him
until February to complete arrange
ments for their shipment.
On Feb. Is, the horses were load
ed at onde-Sur-Husisne, France,
and from there to lie Havre, and from
there sent across to So. Hampton,
England and from there to Tilberry,
and from there on March 6, via At
lantic transport to New York, arriv-
ing at Greeley on March 80.
Mr.. Holbert had a British trans
port engaged to take the shipment
from South Hampton to Tilberry but
this particular vessel met with sub
marine or mine and never reached
port. This delayed the horses a few
days, and the crooked path across die
not hasten matters much and the
horses (if they had horse sense) were
glad to get here even if they were
hungry.

Grain On Rxght-cf-Way.

Ames-A delegation of experts from
the Iowa State college here began q
survey of the right-of-way in Iowa of
the Chicago Great Western railroad
with view to learning how much of
the land will be available for cultiva.
ton.
Statistics available here were to the
effect that the land in railroad right
of-ways will average about eight acres
to the mile. There are approximately
10000 miles of track in Iowa and cul-
tivation of the land, it was estimated,
taking the average yield of corn at
thirty-fve bushels to the acre, would
increase the Iowa output by 100000
bushels. e
1t was announced the plan of the
railroad was to turn over the land
available TO farTle-s working adjacent
farms, to be cultivated by them and
the proceeds to go to them and not
to the road itself.

TO WIN WAR BY ADVERTISING.


Acting as secretary to the Athletic
Director of Iowa State I got the fol-
lowing interesting article through
that source. | am sending it to you
to publish, or not to publish, just as
you wish:
Does it pay to advertise" anyway
Mr.. John f. Hurst. intimate friend of
Clyde Williams and of Henri, Hurst
& Mcdonald, General Advertising
Agents of Chicago is convinced that
it will. Mr.. Hurst's plans are to
win the War by Advertising. 1.-TWO
days ahead OF President Wilson's mes
sage to Congress and four days before
the announcement of the British Gov
eminent to translate President Will
sons message into German and dis
tribute it broadcast over Germany by
Aeroplanes Mr.. Hurst conceived the
idea to win the war by advertising.
He says deciding factor of this great
war is "A Political Revolution in Ger
many" and on this based belief that
| by advertising to the German people
the true state of world affairs, will
prove that 1.-THE Pen is Mightier than
the sword" ~..
For $150,O0O, 100000, recent estimate
of what the Allies spend per day, it is
proposed to prepare advertisements
setting forth clearly the attitude Of
the Allies toward the German People,
show them that it is the personnel of
the German government and their
militaristic policy which the Allies
disapprove, that so far as the German
People themselves are concerned,
there is no bitter feeling, let them
know that If they want peace it is
only necessary for thine to. reconstruct
their government, place representa-
tives, not misrepresentation in charge.
to do as Russia has done-abandon
despotic rule.
Let the advertising be done by men
of national fame, publish same for six
months in every daily and weekly
newspaper, in every weekly and |
monthly periodical, in street cars, out
door display, etc. Not only in the
United States is it planned to carry
on this campaign but also in every
country. where advertisingr space can
be purchased. IN Give to the Neutral
World and all the Allied nations just
what the issue is-the World vs. the
Kaiser not the World VS. the Germans.
Here is the plan to place the ad-
vertisments before the German People,
as neither German nor Austrian. pub
LEGATIONS could be utilized In the cam
paign, on account of the strict censor
ship, the sdistriub4tion is to bee done
Ten thousand books in
packages of rs each will be dropped
into Berlin, all over the country,
cities, Villages and rural districts.
In a few months the German people
would completely understand the sit
uation, correct their form Of govern
ment, end the war and once more re-
sumo their place among the progress
i've, peace-loving nations of the world.
Some mathematical SHARK" may in
5ist that this program couldn't be car
ried out on an Advertising Campaign
Of only s15O,OOO, 100000, but Mr.. Hurst
says, whats a mere half million OF
even a billion dollars when it comes
to ending the most frightful war the
world ever knew"
With best wishes, l am
Very truly yours,

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLANCE.

AsASohS AAoA>S VI
Whereas, Our Dear Heavenly Father
has mysteriously and untimely taken
from our midst our sister, companion
friend, and whereas her death is a
deep loss, and personal affliction
to each of us in w. r. G. circles,
and in the community in which she
lived. .-
Therefore, Be it resolved, that we
as corps of co-workers, in these
few words, tender to her companion
and other friends, our sincere SYM
PATTY for the sadness caused by the
breaking of the tenderest ties, and
the loss of sweet companioship, &C
companied by the glad thought that
a good wife and mother, Mrs Mary
French, enjoys sweet rest in Heaven
and that with the family remains the
helpful memory of her faithful home
life.
May the family, and all who share
in the great affliction, hold on to the
promise, and say, Il know in whom
l trust" and be comforted by the faith
that builds a bridge across the gulf
Of death.
In loving remembrance we present
this testimonial of our sister, who
has crossed the great Divide and en-
tered the home of the majority.
Where no tiei is eversbr0ken-
Where no heart has ever bled,
Where no parting word is spoken
And no farwell tear is she'd
Where they know no pang, or sorrow, n
No more signing or regret
Where the day will have no morrow,
For it's sun will never set.
J Be it further resolved, That these
resolutions be spread upon our re-
cords, and published in our town pap
ers, and copy be sent to the family.
