Merchants know, do majority of readers of this newspaper that advertising works for lower selling cost for commodities just improved manu featuring methods work for lower producing cost
 We could have no moderate prices for commodities unless we had highly efficient manufacturing process es and expensive transportation systems. Machinery which costs good deal to install pays for itsef and Continues to yield dividends to all who it's out put. It costs money to build railroads but it would cost immensely more not to build them i ''
 After manufacturing and transportation prob lens have been solved, however, there remains the problem of distribution to the ultimate consumer There is factor known selling cost which en- ters into the ultimate retail price of every article.
 If the selling cost is unnecessarily high, the retail price keeps pace with it-includes it. And thus it becomes just vital problem to reduce sellngcost it has been to reduce manufacturing and transpor tatiOn costs.
 store, organized to carry large distribution of goods may keep the selling cost at minimum only through doing the largest possible volume of bls- ness. This maximum volume, or capacity turnover is made possible only through adequate advertising Advertising thus becomes the final economic factor in determining retail prices If the advertising is not planned to match the selling task in hand, then all else that has been done to minimum sell ing price is less nulfied. Slow and contest ed final distribution would entail such selling-cost would force high retail prices.
 When you big and interesting store adver tsement you may know that the merchant is safe guarding you in the price you will pay for the thing you need-that he is matching economical fanufac- turing methods by economical selling methods, and that YOU will profit by his progressiveness.a gasr

VETERAN OF
CIVIL WAR
Wilbur F. Randle Passes
Away Very Quietly
And Peacefully
ONE OF OLDEST CITIZENS
Native OF Illinois But Choose
Kentucky Many
Years Ago
ONE OF OLDEST CITIZENS

In the passing away yesterday Of
Wilbur y. Randle. at his apartment
in st. Charles Court. HopkinsvIlle has
again had one Of her oldest and most
respected and beloved citizens re-
moved from her midst. While il was
known for many hours previous. the
end did not come until IL o'clock
yesterday morning. He had been in
a much weakened and failing condi-
tion for many months and friends
were not surprised to learn that the
end had come.
Had Mr.. Randle lived until the 22
Of next June he would have rounded
out his full 80 years. He was born
in jefferson county. ILL.,, and was sew
snth in line Of a large family Of
eleven children born to Peyton Ran
die and Mary Grant Randle. The
Randle family moved in is44 from
Illinois to ArkanSas where the pa
rents died.
At the outbreak Of the Civil War
Wilbur Randle, then a young man
Of 25 years. cast his lot with the
Southern Confederaey and went with
that army through the entire strug-
gle except for one year while he
was disabled from following the flag.
when the war was over he settled
again on the family farm in Arkan-
sas and remained there until 1869
when he removed TO Kentucky and To-
Gated at Paducah. After one year
in that city he settled in Hopkins
vile and for is years this city has
been his home.
Early in life Mr.. handle became a
member Of the NJ, +. Church, South,
and was one Of the most active and
influential. as well rs most beloved,
menibers Of that organization. For
many years he was weather observer
for this city and only gave up this
work recently because Of his weak
ened physical condition. caused by his
advanced age and an injury sus-
tanned several years ago when he fell
on ice and broke his hip. Since that
time he had gone on crutches.
Mr.. Randle was married many
years ago TO Miss Matte Park but
no children were ever born to this
union. Mrs. Randle still survives.
As a reward for her many and long
years Of connection with. and faith
full service for, the Western Union
Telegraph Co. as operator here, Mrs.
Randle was retired by that company
some years ago on a pension for
life.
While Mr.. Randle was a devoted
member Of the church. a Civil War
veteran, and weather observer. II i
not for any nor all Of these that
he was best and popularity known
Throughout this entire section Of
country. But he was best known
as champion old time fiddler Many
were the old hddlers contests in
which he played all over West Ken
lucky and Tennessee. IL Is said thai
he was the most perfect fiddler Of th'
old-time school and carried ava,
more prizes than any other man
though practically all his playing wal
for charitable purposes.
