Kentuckian Said
To Be 131 Years
Old Has Son, 80


Louisville, KY, Aug. 21.--Several
hundred descendants are preparing
to gather at the log -cabin home Of
"Uncle" John Shell on Greasy Creek,
Leslie county, Ky, September to
celebrate the mountaineer's birthday.
Just what form the festival will take
has not been divulged.
Meanwhile the national geographic
society is investigating Shells claim
that he is 131 years old and whether
he is the oldest man in the United
States.
There is no doubt among Shells
neighbors as to his age. Men, eighty
years, old declare he was an old man
when they were youths. Colonel
Henry .Chappell says he has a tax
duplicate signed by Shell in 1903
when he was 81, the earliest age,
under Kentucky laws, to pay taxes.
Shell is father of eleven children,
the Oldest of whom is said to be 80
years old. He has several great,
great grandchildren and descendants
in his home section are said. to num-
Der nearly 200.
Excellent eyesight, three success
i've sets Of teeth and all of his facul-
ties are claimed by the Kentuckian
who attributed his long life to out
door living and temperate habits.

Lexington Herald, writes Editor and
Publisher. "a newspaper not now as
sured of its supply for the remainder
OF this year is, in my opinion, in a
very critical situation"
The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph re-
ports that it has exceeded its supply
under contract and is unable to buy
paper at the wills for less than 5 to
s cents.
Between 20 and rs per cent. of the
print paper used by newspapers in
the United States is consumed in
Greater New York. About twenty
five per cent of the total is consum-
ed in Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston,
and St. Louis. Another Is per cent.
is used in As cities having over 1OO,-
600 population. The increase in news
print consumption during the first
six months of this year as compared
with the same period last year, is
greater, proportionately, in the large
cities than in the smaller cities and
towns.
Yet, in New York city and other
large cities, advertising is being re-
fused in order to keep down the size
OF newspapers.
Urges Higher Rates.
The need of continuing the con-
servation of paper by newspaper pub.
fishers was emphasized by Charles l.
Stewart, chairman of the committee
on paper conservation of the South
ern Newspaper Publishers associa-
ton, nan address at it's convention
at Asheville, N. C. He predicted a
period of high prices in the paper
market, and said that because of ris-
ing costs, newspaper proprietors
must not be timid about the prices
they ask subscribers and adver
tisers."
"The is danger in being dazzled by
the prospect of large volume of
business, and if we make losing rates,
the larger the volume the greater
will be the loss," he said. eve should
remember that, after all, the real test
Of our profits is not the measure of
dollars and cents, but the measure of
commodities.

Pine BLUFF AID
CLUB ORGANIZED
BY LOCAL FIRMS
Will Have Representation at
New Orleans International
Meeting.

The Pine Bluff AID club was launch
ed at meeting in the Chamber OF
Commerce assembly hall yesterday
at noon, following a description of
the work of an ad club and it's bene-
fits to city, made by E. r. Lanng,
director of publicity for the Hibernia
Bank and Trust company, New Or
leans, and chairman of the "big
brother" committee of the New Or
leans AID club.
Temporary officers were elected,
as follows: Jack Bernhardt, presi-
dent; Louis Froug, vice president;
Roy M. Kemp, secretary-treasurer.
Permanent organization will be eff
fected and officers elected at meet
ing to be held at the Hotel Pines next
Wednesday, August e. Efforts will
be made to have every firm and
establishment selling the public
goods or service present at this meet
ing.
Mr.. Lanng, for three years con-
nected with the Chambers agency at
New Orleans before accepting the in
vitation to handle the publicity de-
partment of the Hibernia bank, EN-
phasized the value of proper public
ity in selling and showed how adver-
Using helps both the seller and buyer.
He pointed out that advertising had
"sold the war to 100 millions of
American people, as few of us want
ed war;" and had sold billions of
bonds in the very shortest time pos
sible. He impressed the Importance
of honest statements in advertising,
relating several Incidents to show
that exaggeration in newspaper space
or window cards is Improbable, "as
the dishonest statements are detect
ed, and the man who makes them
loses old customers about as fast as
the advertising brings him new ones.
"The honest advertiser holds old
customers and gains new ones, con-
sequently his business constantly
grows" he declared.
To Advertise City.
Mr.. Lanng showed how the ad
club helps the individual member to
improve his sales, the merchant to
increase his profits thru large vol
ume, the consumer to get better
goods and service cheaper thru buy
ing advertised articles, and the COM
munity thru cooperation Of the
members.
He urged that Pine Bluff be rep
resented at the convention of the AS
ISOLATED Advertising clubs of the
world in New Orleans next month,
which will be attended by delegates
from all parts of the world.
"New Orleans is spending 100000
on this convention" Mr.. Lanng said
land we want the South to make the
most of the opportunity to get the
truth concerning its climate, health,
industry and resources. We have ar
ranged for space for each advertis
ing club. Pine Bluff will be allotted
one of these booths, and there you
can distribute any literature you de-
sire. 1t is wonderful opportunity
for you to obtain favorable publicity
for Pine Bluff. This booth space
will not cost you anything. We have
made this provision for. the clubs
sending delegates. You should take
advantage of it."
Pine Bluff is assured of represen-
tat:on at the convention. At least
two publicity men have determined
to attend. These are R. W. Etter,
