FACTS CONCERNING FEDERAL

CONFERENCE OF WHOLESAL-
ERS WITH DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Relief from the prevailing sugar
shortage in Pensacola within a short
time now is expected, it was an
nounced yesterday following a confer
ence between local wholesalers and
District Attorney John L. Neeley in
the latter's office. The prevailing
prices will be in the neighborhood OF
20 cents it is expected.
The conference resulted in a better
under standing between the whole
salers and those charged with federal
control of the product, it was asserted.
One of the important facts learned by
the wholesalers was that they are not
necessarily TO be confined to the New
Orleans zone in the purchase of sugar
but may buy anywhere in the market.
Prices ranging around 20 cents will be
for Louisiana plantation sugar. 1t is
understood, while prices for other

Louisiana suger interests have
proposed an agreed upon refining

concurred in this understanding, with
all contracts for higher prices abro-
gated unless shipment of the same is

Wall Mason's Daily Poem,
THE STRIKE FEVER.


My job is all I could DESIRE it yields me hand
some pay; wrestle with my blooming Tyre for eight
brief hours day. I ought to think myself in luck
to have job like; but all the other boys have
struck and so think I'll strike. No stern oppressor
grinds my face with cruel iron heel to tyrants in
the higher place make vain appeal No rank
injustice lament, my spirit isn't sore; have no
grievance worth a cent taat makes me walk the
floor. But see all the striking lads parade along
the pike; they've quit their work in all the grads
and I think I'll strike, 1 am the only man at
work. in all this lovely land, who does not find
labors rk who makes stern demand. I'm sa it's
fled with what do and with the pay I get; each
day earn three bones two. in damp but honest
sweat I'm treated better than king and life
seems pretty slick and sit around and sing
II can't think kick. But I am lonesome all the
day. the one contented guy; the have thrown
their tools away, and they go marching by see

Honesty.

Honest goods easily sold.
1t takes less time and effort and money to sell
an honest proposition than that is questionable
This is a discovery since advertising has become
so generally used in promoting sales.
An advertisement for questionable article or
inquiries honest one.
The returns are very much lower law of aver
ages.
While it may be true that there is a sucker born
every minute. and while it may be the successful
design of the crooked advertiser locate and get
the suckers money yet
There more WISE shrewd persons who have
more in the way of money with which to purchase
goods.
In other words. there only more wise
shrewd ones but they have greater purchasing
power
Thus honest advertising brings a larger return

Inventors.

: Why do many inventors fail to financially real
ize their inventions
1t is often their failure to recognize certain
very simple natural laws of business rather than
the shrewd maneuverings Of others.
There are three elements to financial success
from invention:
First. there is invention ITSELF then there is
economical production and finally seIling-edu-
eating people to buy it and it.
This means that those who supply each of these
elements entitled to share in the profits to
say nothing of those who finance enterprise and
who may assume large risk its outcome.
More often the largest problem of a new invention
is it's sale-its introduction.
There is frequently more time, money. effort and
sometimes ingenuity displayed in marketing a
device than in it's original invention.
All of more less conservative about buy
ing new devices and adapting ways and man
ners of doing things. and this tendency must be
broken down by educational advertising and per-
sonal salesmanship
1t took time and money and effort to intro
duce the telephone city than did to invent
it.
This also true with the sewing machine-peo-
pie first thought it device OF the evil throw
poor women out of employment.
Up until the organization Of the International
Harvester Co. very large part of the profits from
the sale OF harvesters used in sales-inducing
farmers to them.
Then, in cases where inventors are in business
control of/their enterprises is tendency in
them not to let their child alone.
That is. they spend their time and money in
bringing improvements faster than the device can
be manufactured and sold
They fail to market their inventions in a CONNER
cial state of perfection. but quantity production
sales and advertising campaigns held up await
ing improvements.
The first concern to manufacture electric fans
failed three times for this reason noS sue
ceed until production manager was employed who
shut the inventor up in experimental department
and did not add of his improvements until long
after the fans had been the market IN a stand

tor who used large part of his original capital in

The success of the enterprise did not come until
the inventor was relieved of the production and
changes not permitted in his device faster than it
could be produced and sold
There is old saying around certain class of

Advertising.

Some of the best of literature these days seems to

US to whom distant pastures always the green

The average advertisement stimulates more
thought and action upon thought. by its ap-
peal to our sense pleasure profit than any
other literary form.
And it does it in less space and in fewer num-
Der OF words
The reason for this economy and efficiency is
this:
An advertiser pays large sum the white
space and he is naturally economical with it.
More thought is put upon the space.
He conveys the idea and promotes the action with
number of carefully selected expressions
Every word. phrase. sentence and paragraph is
weighed to this end.
Other forms of writing are paid for by the num-
ber OF words space occupied, and there is not
the natural incentive economy of expression
in advertising.
Advertisers paying large white space as
they do have found it economical to employ men
skilled in the art of expression-word carpentering;
