TREES IN CAPITAL
National Botanical Garden Has Many
That Were Planted by Nations
Distinguished Men.

Including the modest salary gfHh'ea
its superintendent, The national hetali-
Teal garden at Washington has always
been very economically supported ~
congress. and deserves high credit fer
what il has accomplished with a con.
scrvative income, But men who culu-
waite flowers are usually willing to at
tempt the maximum Of beauty with the
minimum of working capital. The gar
den has mary things that cannot be
duplicated. Particularly interesting
TO visitors are the trees planted by dis
tinguisled men. Charles a. Dana
planted an acorn which he brought
from China; General Grant planted an
acacia; Senators Hoar and Evarts each
planted cedar Of Lebanon, and SEMI
tor Cri.tenden planted an oak. There
is tree planted by Edwin Booth, ana
another planted by Edwin Forrest. But
the most famous tree Of all is the horn
beam planted by President Lincoln.
As it now stands in the garden the
shade Of this tree covers about one
tenth Of an acre.

there are many idle persons who
should be arrested under The vagrancy
law. Then too We are told of the ha
bitual sale of gasoline on Sunday and
other acts and deeds that violate the
sanctity of the Sabbath. In this con-
ncction we feel sure that our Rural
Policemen are alive to their duty con-
cerning such matters and we know
that they have large territory to
cover. None the less we urge them
an increased vigilance and dctermina-
ton to correct these evils. They may
be considered as minor matters. bui
in the aggregate they add to laNity OF
the law observance and lead TO more
serious things.
Much complaint is heard of speed
ing automobiles on the public high
ways. a number Of accidents have
occurred from reckless driving at un-
lawful rate of speed. Unless the
growing evil is stopped. serious conse-
quences will be the certain result. The
peace officers, sheriff. deputy sheriff
and policemen should use their best
cndeavor to apprchcnd all persons of
tending in this particular and pun
i&hmcnt should be swift and severe to
the limits Of the law.
In closing. we hes 10 express our
for the col:rteSies and as

and all officers of the Court

Profit in Advertising
Publicity Expert Demonstrates
Value of Advertising to Pro-
gressive Merchants

Asheville, n. c.. July II (SpeciaD-
general public has been clearly estao-
lished in the discussions here this
week before the annual convention OF
newspaper publishers and advertising
agencies.
1t is through the greater volume O.
business on a given overhead which
is made possible by intelligent adver-
stising that prices of any commodity
are lower If sold by advertising than
when this engine Of modern business
power is not employed.
81 In almost every instance where ad-
yertising is done intelligently its cost
is Bmore than Offset by the savings that
it effects. Just how the matter works
ont was fully explained IN meetings
of the past few days by men familiar
with every phase Of publicity.
For instance, retail store may
have fixed overhead Of fifty dollars
per week. IF the overturn is only two
hundred and fifty dollars each week.
twenty per cent must be added to
cover the running expenses and ten
per cent. more to give the owner a
safe margin of actual profit.
When the merchant spends fifty dol
lars week more for advertising. in
creasing his overhead to one hundred
dollars, with the effect Of building his
business to a thousand dollars a week,
ten per cent. mark up will cover his
costs of operation and an additional
Ave per cent will afford him twice the
net profit that ten per cent gave him
on his two hundred and fifty dollar
oYerturn.
SO the merchant who advertises can
sell his goods for fifteen per cent ad-
vance on the wholesale prices and
make twice as much for himself as
does the storekeeper who fails to ad-
,vsrtise and whose prices are thirty
percent higher than those at which
he buys from the wholesale houses.
The public gets the benefit Of the
ffteen per cent lower prices the ad-
vertising store can, offer.
It has been pointed out repeatedly
this week in the discussions before the
conventions of the Southern Council
OF the American Association Of Ad-
verttsing Agencies and the Southern
Newspaper Publishers Association
that widely advertised food and other
products were last to be raised in
price during the war and that on these
advances when made were smaller
than on non-advertised goods

BiShopville has secured hydro
