To Hazard Herald, u,
Hazard. XIV.

Irvine, KY, July 14th, 1919.
To Hazard Herald,
Hazard, Ky.
In your issue of June 10th, you
make mention of the fact that GER
tain candidates for Railroad Com
missioner in the Third District had
withdrawn in favor of Mr.. Eversole,
and in this article you intimate that
Allen Cisco and ! should go to- work
and have our brothers Clay Cisco and
e. G. Kash withdraw.
You also say that "Mr. Cisco and
Mr.. Kash were requested to attend
the candidates meeting but did not
do So" ! am writing to advise you
that p. G. Kash was not advised of
any such meeting, and I was not adj
vised of it, and no one was advised of
it. am informed by Judge Cisco
that he had no notice of it. It was
a well known fact that my brother
was candidate at that time, and
also that Mr.. Cisco was a candidate.
Therefore, it cannot be said that E.
G. Kash is in any wise bound by the
action of meeting to which he was
not party and of which he had no
notice.
At the State Convention at Lex
ington a Ninth District man, j. L.
Mccoy was candidate for Secre-
tary Of State, and he withdrew in
favor of Judge Fred Vaughn of
Paintsville the Tenth District. The
Ninth District has no candidate on
the State Ticket. The Ninth District
has more counties in this Railroad
Commissioner district than any other
Congressional district.
We are entirely in the interest Of
party harmony. We are in the fight
primarily to help the republican ticket
in November, and this we expect to
do. My brother, E. C. Kash, has al
ways been an active and consistent
supporter Of the republican party
and its candidates and will continue
to be.
We are willing to leave it to the
republicans of this entire Railroad
Commissioner district as to who their
candidate shall be.

individual attention. Ready-made
ads will not get results for
your store.
In preparing your ads write
them out the best you can; then
say the same thing in half as
many words; then cut it again
if you can. The result will be
better.
In writing ads place yourself
in the position of the person you
are writing to. The kind of ads
you read are the kind that will
interest the other fellow. AS a
general rule it is well to give
prices.
If you don't give them the
reader may assume that the price
is high. If you are advertising
high grade goods, place the
emphasis on quality and mention
the price in an incidental way.
Be absolutely honest in your
advertising. Put your reputation
into every statement. You may
as a leader occasionally sell goods
below cost" but don't overdo
the "below cost" sale. Every
body knows you can't afford to
do business on that basis.
And don't advertise every week
or so ''The Greatest Value Ever
Offered" It stamps you as an
amateur and destroys confidence
lin your statements.
Keep your advertising ahead of
business, not behind it. Make it
pull your business along. 1t will
give you reputation as an up
to-the-minute merchant.
Your advertising is your store
news. If you haven't any, make
some. A new line of goods; cut
prices on goods you want to turn
over. It's easy enough to get
news if you watch for the oppor-
tunities.
Don't spend few dollars in
advertising and then say "adver-
tising doesn't pay" Advertising
does pay as attested by thous-
ands of merchants who have be-
come successful through its use,
tho sometimes it takes little
time for it to bring maximum re-
turns. Make it a part Of the
continuous policy of your store
and you will not be disappointed
with results.
Select your advertising medium
carefully. Its value depends, to
a certain extent, upon the goods
you sell and the conditions
under which you sell them. Ex-
cept for the small store serving
a district of a large city, how
ever, more people can be reached
oftener and at less expense by
newspaper ads than in any other
way. The merchant who is not
using them is missing an oppor-
tunity.

The Paris Democrat said last
week: The race for the Demo
cratic nomination for Lieutenant
Governor is creating much inter
est in this county as the race
for Governor. That is, the people
here are interested in w. H.
Shanks, candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, whom they hope to
see win the nomination, and
know that he can win in Novem-
Der. He represented Lincoln
county in the 1910 Legislature
and was one of the most influen-
tial members. He is president of
the Lincoln county National
Bank, of Stanford, which has
capital stock of 100000 and over
half million deposits, is one of
the largest land owners of Lin
coin county, and a solid business
man and popular gentleman. He
is high-class man, and by plac-
ing him on the ticket the party
and the entire State would be
honored. 1874 1t
In his speech at Shelbyville Mon
day, Gov. Black denied that he was in
anyway connected with the Stanley
machine. Some of Gov. Stanley's
he said, were for him,
and he was glad to have their sup
port, but many of them were opposing
him, and he did not regret it. In the
latter class he mentioned Eli Fl.
Brown, who he said, had drawn a
salary Of $4,000 as attorney for the
Rating Board until he was 1egislated
out of job, and who also had
been instrumental in the settlement
of the Hardness estate, from which
he received a "rake-off" of $1,000.
Other Stanley appointees mentioned
as strong Carroll adherents were
Banking Commissioner Speer, M. M.
Logan, Charles Hawes, Henry Hin
es and Ben Marshall.
The Governor denied being a poll
tician himself, and asserted that he
was not politician in the strict
sense of the term, because, he said
they could not use him. His support
he claimed, came exclusively from
the country and the smaller towns.
Gov Black defended his record in
regard to the School Book Commits
sion and contended that his every
action therein was absolutely in ac-
cordance with thn law ~

TOBACCO POOL
LAW Is EXPLAINED
BY COMMISSIONER
Persons Selling Tobacco For Farmers
On Commission are Classed as
Dealers Internal Revenue
Head Says.

Washington, November 18. - The
pooling of tobacco by farmers for sale
through an agent is permissible and
does not violate any internal revenue
law, as long as the agent is paid a
straight salary and not a commission,
according to decision of Commission
er Of Internal Revenue Roper, trans
mitted today to Congressman Kinche-
loe, of Kentucky.
Commissioner Roper states in his
letter to Mr.. Kincheloe that growers
may sell tobacco to any one without
payment of internal revenue tax or
compliance with other requirements
so long as the tobacco is sold in it's
original state, just as it is when cured
Any treatment beyond that of putting
1t into hands and drying it renders the
seller liable to the tax and regulations
applicable to a dealer in tobacco.
According to the same> authority,
any grower may employ an agent to
sell his tobacco and two or more grow
ers may pool their tobacco and employ
an agent to sell for all of them, but
he must work on straight salary. If
the agent for one or more growers
sells on a commission basis he at once
becomes dealer in the Interpretation
of the law and liable for the tax on
dealers All sales by an agent must
be conducted in the name of the grow
er or growers represented by him and
all receipts must be turned over in
full to the growers, without any de-
ductions whatever. Salary may then
be paid to the agent, otherwise he rem
ders himself liable for the dealers tax
