Dolly Studies the Publicity Game and After Seeing the Campaign Declares That Tt Really Pays to Advertiser

erts, yesterday afternoon and asked him to tell me just how he felt about the service department of The Age-Heraid, which is handling his appropriation for advertising, writing copy and getting up display ads for his business.
 T used to be a pessimist when 1t came to advertising" said MT. Roberts, but 1t was unmistakable the appreciation that he has of the merits of advertising now. judging from his enthusiastic man. ner However, I'm convinced at last that there is nothing like it. When I turned over my advertising to the service department of The Age-Herald, I felt the greatest hestancy in doing so. I'm free to admit this, for it means that the whole scheme of our business was turned upside down. We had been doing credit business and we were changing it into a cash business and that was a little squeamish, you well know but in- stead of decreasing our business it has increased so amazingly that I hardly know what to say about it.
 T used to think that advertising was intended only for the department store merchant" MT. Roberts said, ''who had pretty things to sell to the ladies. It never occurred to me that groceries needed any advertising They were just here, to buy, and if people wanted them, why, all well and good enough but why advertise? But now I know it is all dif- ferent. Since our campaign with the service department of The Age Herald I have found that when people have money to spend they had just as soon pay cash for things as to ask credit; once you get the cash habit you never want to change back to the old way. People hate to get bills and often they don't want to pay them; the merchant gets mad because he can't collect his bills, and then every body is mad But the e1cash system elimi- mates all that, and everybody is in good humor and the world goes on happily. UT patronage is built up by the best peo- pie in Birmingham, and I'm glad to say that The Age-Herald has been a great medium In our success"

Mexican

The final act in the entrance into
| Mexico of twelve thousand United
| States soldiers as a result of the Villa
massacre at Columbus, N. M, on
March 9, 1916, was written with off
cial announcement by the United
States war department that General
Pershing had been ordered and &C
tually had started to bring his troops
back to the United States.
There is no official information as
to whether Villa or Carranza troops
will occupy the territory left vacant
by the departing Americans, but the
belief is strong in some circles that
the bandit, who is credited with hav-
ing at least 5000 we'll armed men and
who is not at least four times as
strong as when the American troops
went across the border, will make a
desperate effort to take the territory,
particularly for its moral effect.
With the last American soldier out
of Mexico, the Mexican problem can
be viewed in a new light. From now
on, it will not be possible for Car
rama to meet American demands with
counter demands for the withdrawal
of the troops.

A tract Of eight thousand acres on
Mount Mitchell, N. c., has been pur-
chased by the federal reservation com
mission.
The federal reservation commission
announces that it has purchased forty
five hundred acres of land in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire.
1t is stated that on the collateral
deposited by the allied nations of Eu-
rope, they are entitled to a loan of
sever billion two hundred million dol
lars.
Small Woman, former wife of Sit
ting Bull, who annihilated Custer and
his command in Little Big Horn in
1876 and who himself was slain in
battle fifteen years later at Wounded
Knee, is dead at the North Dakota
Fort Berthold Indian reservation. She
died from injuries sustained in the
burning of her cabin, from which she
escaped uninjured, but returned for
an old shawl which she priced highly,
and it was then that her clothing took
fire with disastrous results.
The president of the American
Newspaper Publishers association
says that prohibition against printing
news of election betting, which is
contained in a section of the Owens
corrupt practices bill, might become a
stepping stone toward further restric-
tions.

World v Music.

An estimate, based on figures gath
cred by the manufacturing department
of the Aeolian company places the pro-
duction of pianos in the United States
in 1916 at $50, 1000, compared with 326,-
600 in 1914. For the first time in sew
eral years the American piano manu-
facturers find their plants working at
maximum capacity.
Prosperity accompanying the war
has stimulated domestic buying to an
unusual degree, according to the COM
pany. This, coupled with our increas-
ing export business, has created o de-
mand that is taxing factory capacity
in this country. Foreign buying from
new and unexpected sources is APP
pearing in the market every few days.

NO CHANCE IN LEAGUE
All Teams Board Base Ball Band
Wagon For 1912 Season in the
North Carolina League.

Greensboro.-With foul of the six
clubs represented and the remaining
pair expressing their intention through
proxy of boarding the band wagon,
the 1917 season of the North Carolina
League became a surety at he annual
directors meeting, held in this city.
Although the time limit for the post
ing of the 81 900 forfeit checks was ex-
tended to February Is, positive assur-
ance was forthcoming from each city
of the league that the respective or
carnations would be ready to start
the season on schedule time. Those
present at the annual gathering, were,
in addition to President W. G. Bran
ham, of Durham; DR.. R. o. Apple and
K. E. Shore, of Winston-Salem; Chas.
Woodall, of Raleigh; ]. E. Mc1lwaine
and George w. Wearn, of Charlotte,
and L. G. Brandt AID John Rees, of
Greensboro. Durham and Asheville
were not represented by officials,
President Bramham presenting the
proxies of these clubs at the opening
of the meeting.
The most drastic change effected by
the assembled moguls was the elimi-
nation of the Glass &c" ruling, adopt
ed last year, which provides that only
three men would be permitted on each
club, exclusive of the manager, who
ha dparticipated in Is or more games
in a league higher than 3D." the clas-
siication of the North Carolina
League. According to the terms of
the agreement reached at today's meet
ing, each team may be composed in it's
entirety of higher class players, pro-
vided that it remains within the salary
limit, which was retained at it's former
figure.
With the necessity of cutting ex-
penses urged by various delegates, it
was agreed that the roster limit of
each club be placed at IL. inclusive
of the manager, instead of IS, as was
the case last season. Since with the
possible exception of Winston, where
Charley Clancy may be returned, there
will be only actively performing pilots
in the circuit, this new ruling is not
expected to weaken the various line
Ups. At the opening of the 1916 semes
ter, there were but two playing mana
gers in the circuit.

railroad engine collided with the rear
car of a Rock Island passenger train,
eastbound from Little Rock, Ark, to
Memphis, Tenn, in a dense fog at
Mound, Ark, near Memphis.
A New York dispatch says that the
American commission for relief of Bel
GUM is preparing for at least another
years work and the necessity of rails
ing approximately $3.50, 900, 900 more
will be discussed by the commission in
