The membership drive of the
Chamber of Commerce has just
closed, and we are glad to state
that they have secured a men,
bership of about 225, when the
goal was placed at $50. This is
a very credible showing for a
town of this size, and will enable
them to be a potent. factor in the
upbuilding of our city. A good
strong live Chamber of Com
merce is one of the greatest fac
tors any town can have for i'm
provements and upbuilding. For
example, the citizens of Los An
geles attribute its phenominal
growth to their large and pro-
gressive Chamber of Commerce,
and if our members will get
squarely behind the Chamber it
will only be a few years until our
town is surrounded by the best
irrigated farms in the country.

Failure Above Par

The reason so many men are
successful is that success is easier
to achieve than failure. A thoro-
going failure is dreadfully hard
to keep up. If you doubt it,
compare the men who saunter
down to the train and the men
who miss it by the fraction of a
second. Which one has worked
harder? Making thing is al
ways easier than missing it.
The man who fails does all the
work necessary for success, and
does it either in the wrong way
or at the wrong time. He goes
through all the motions, but they
are waste motions. 1t is true
that success comes by hard work.
by application, by tireless devo-
ton. But it is equally true that
failure comes by the same route.
Work alone never made success
although success has never come
without work. A little work
done in the right way is usually
more effective than late hours.
The man who burns the midnight
bulb has to worry about his cleo
trio bills. Success is really a
great art, and, like all art, de-
pends largely on the manner, not
on the matter. Human beings
are very much alike. They work
with very much the same ma
terials. They differ only in their
style. And it happens that fail
ure is an extreme style, which
is costly because it doesn't last.

if he did that and sent them out
without any published statements
to keep them and their prospects
posted, they would be pretty
sure to mess up the job, exag-
gerate the institutions standing
and generally do as much harm
as good-then he must rely on
the one best and tested medium
of instilling confidence in the
people-advertising.
Confidence precedes deposits.
Establish it in the minds of a lot
of people. at once, and you have
the start of a good business.
Keep it there and you have
good institution.
There is only one. standard,
tried, universal and easy to-con-
troll method of getting the atten-
tion of possible depositors; that
is by advertising. The press is
recognized as the most potent
force in the world today, "migh
tier than the sword" +" that has
been proven to US during the last
four years. very forcebly. To
refuse to make use of so handy
and effective a medium of COM
batting inertia, or competitive ac-
tivity, is to manifest lack of
business acumen hardly expected
to be found in a man of the aver
age bankers proclivities.
Vegetables are produced by
gardening. Women are won by
wooing. Gold is secured by
mining. And you can, get de-
posits and customers by going
after them. Just how many you
get is problematical. 1t depends
on the strength with which you
go after them. and how.

Clean Up

The streets, alleys and some of
the back yards in this town are
so dirty, filthy and Uttered with
paper that they are a disgrace to
the town.
The citizens here as rule are
very proud of their homes and
appearance of their yards, and
maintain numerous shade trees
and beautiful lawns, but the
beauty of all these are destroyed
by the unsightly appearance of
the streets and alleys. Let every
one pick up the papers and trash
around their homes and places of
business, which is asking little
enough, as it will take only few
minutes of your time each day,
and the looks and appearance of
the town in general will be i'm
proved immensely.
Some Of the business houses
make it a practice to sweep their
paper and trash out into the
street each morning, and we have
ordinances against such things,
but it should not be necessary to
invote the law to make people
keep clean. The Chamber of
Commerce has been before the
Town Council protesting against
such practices and the dirty
streets in general. and at the
next meeting of the Council we
anticipate that Mayor w. E. Gar.
yer will issue a proclamation
designating a clean up week, sc
every one show the proper spirit
and clean up their premises anc
for once we will have a clear
town, one which the tourists will
remark about the cleanliness ane
not the dirt.

Bankers, Why Advertise?
By Frank Wilson

BY Frank Wilson
Advertising Manager, Scandina-
vian American Bank, Tacoma,
Washington.
About two years ago | had oc-
casion to talk to a banker friend
regarding an)intensive advertis-
ing campaign to increase his al
ready good business. After a
long, tedious conversation on the
subject he finally wound up with
the remark that business was
so deposits were coming
in so consistently-that he could
not see any reason in the world
why he should spend perfectly
good money on Advertising" all
of which reminded me of the
story of the minister and the
Scotchman. Sandy, always ad-
dicted to the habit of his "wee
drape," was being read a SER
mon. Sandy said the minis
ter, its this way; you must
either give up drinking whisky
or you will lose your eyesight.
1t is up to you to choose. !"
"Weel." reflected Sandy, I'm
an ould man an I'm thinkin' I've
seen about all there is worth
seein'. "
It was our old friend the argu-
ment, "Oh well, we have got
about all the business we can
handle" Some men dislike to
give up their old ideas of doing
business almost as much Sandy
his whisky.
A progressive banker adrer-
tises, because at the present time,
with high wages and better liv-
ing conditions all oyer the coun-
try, hundreds of thousands of
our citizens, having the proven
bal dollar lying useless IN their
pockets, are waiting to be coax
ed into placing their surplus in
the banks.
The banker must therefore ad-
vertise, because it's the only way
in which he can establish good
will" and goodwill never meant
anything but good business. Un-
less he can afford to have a dozen
first-class representatives rum
ming around the country telling
folks about his bank-and even

ATTORNEY FOR LOESER
FAMILY SEEKS DIAMONDS

st. Petersburg, Feb 13 3.-Diamonds
valued at between $4,000 and $4,000,
the property of Mrs. Katherine Loes-
er, who together with her husband
was killed here last week as the re-
suit of an unlighted gas stove, are
missing. Several thousand dollars
worth Of Liberty bonds. previously
missing, have been located in safety
deposit vault In Louisville. BENJAMIN
H. Sacks, attorney fpr the families o;
the dead couple and for the trust COM
pany which Is administrator Of the
estate, reached this city yesterday
morning to investigate the circum-
stances connected with the double
death and to settle all bills incurred in
connection. He will leave for Louis
vile tomorrow.
Mr.. Sacks made every effort yes
terday to locate the diamonds or to
find some clue which would lead to
their location. The result Of his in
vestigation leads apparently to the
conclusion that Mrs. Loeser did not
bring the diamonds to st. Petersburg
and the search will be continued iu
New Orleans.
The estate left by the couple Is
valued at $4,000 and as there are
no children the property will be di-
vided among the members OF the two
families. To avoid any legal contro-
versy both families have agreed to ac-
cept as fact that the couple died
simultaneously which will mean that
the property will be divided equally.
The bonds, at first missing, have
been located in a safety deposit box In
a Louisville bank. Efforts are being
made to locate the diamonds in New
Orleans, which city the Loesers visited
before coming to Florida.
Attorney Sacks, of course, has been
able to give much more information
about the couple than was known
here Immediately following the dis
covery OF the dead bodies, at which
time little more than the name, home

Mr.. Loeser was, 81 years old and a
salesman for Joseph Thompson & Co.
Whiskey dealers of Louisville. He
had in Louisville a blooded bulldog
named Kentucky Girl" for which he
gave $1,000. Since taking charge Of
the estate Mr.. Sacks has had turned
over to him large trunk full OF
medals won by the dog at bench
shows.
The dead man was also the owner of
q race horse which is In New Orleans
The trip to that city, made before
coming here, was for the purpose of
attending the horse races there and
caring for the race horse.
Mr.. Sacks is very much pleased
with the way the local Elks' Lodge
handled the affairs after the fatal ac-
cident. He said that the relatives In
Louisville are grateful for the manner
in which the bodies were cared for
and sent home. All bills incurred
were paid yesterday by the Louisville
attorney.
