LONDON, Aug. 19.--Breaking the
pledge of silence which was imposed
upon him by the British government
M. Kamenoff, head Of the bolshevik
trade mission today gave an exhaus-
tive interview in which he made the
prediction that Russians eventually
will capture Warsaw and defeat Gem
eral Wrangel, whose defacto govern
ment in southern Russia has just
been recognized by France.
Soviet Russia cannot be beaten"
declared the Bolshevik official. 1--WE
will take Warsaw. There is no
doubt in N.Y. mind on that. We are
not afraid Of the allies intervening.
They supported Admiral Kolchak
and he was beaten. They supported
General Denikin and he failed. Even
il they support General Wrangel he
will be beaten. 1t would be much
better for the allies il peace were

THE RUPEES ARE PROGRESSING

Ancil Rupe and his good wife and
the sons and daughters are clear up
to their necks in business this sum-
mer. Last winter they sold their
upper ranch for twenty thousand dol
lars and rented the old homestead
to the sugar company for $500 cash,
but they went back at the company
and proposed to suitcase it to them
selves, and the company accepted,
retaining one-fifth of the crop as
their part to offset that $500 and
for their profit on the years trans
actions.
Mr.. Rupe planted a hundred acres
of sugar beets, has it on the sliding
scale SO that with high sugar he
participates in the returns and has
stuck right to the job OF caring for
them and has fine prospects for a
trainload of beets and a barrel of
money.
All of the Rupe family are busy
bodies. Nobody ever caught them
doing nothing. Mr.. Rupe slips out
at the break of day and goes out
among the crops and birds anG works
till he gets good and ready to come
in. He is the chief irrigator, and
knows the crops and the soil so
we'll that he understands their sign
language so we'll that he can let
the water in on crop at the time
it boosts it most. He is one of those
fellows who waters thoroly hut with
out waterlogging the soil. With him
there is no fooling-it gets done
about right, and the crop is the best
evidence. When others get pretty
good crop Rupe gets bumper crop
Mr.. Rupe has some daughters
who are bound to work at
something that really counts. This
year they besieged him for a
job on the farm and he agreed
to letting them be his hired men.
They bought coveralls and took the
job of hoeing that hundred acres of
sugar beets. They hoed them once;
they hoed them twice; and then Pa
pa Rupe decided that it would pay to
hoe them again, so it was done. He
pays the girls with checks that are
good at the banks, and they are get
ting into the capitalistic class them
selves. They are studying the stock
business and all angles of farming
and one OF these days you may find
some of them occupying managerial
positions on some big stock farms. |
Mr.. Rupe has just completed
fine barn 4sx56 with a haymow large
enough to hold forty tons. The barn
Is quite modern and complete in all
An addition has Just been
built on the house and some fine

SOMETHING NEW IN
FIELD OF ADVERTISING

A few days ago the newspapers
printed little notice of the death
OF John E. Powers, up in Brooklyn.
There was no great display of the
item. Nobody was interviewed. The
news was promptly forgotten by most
of those who read it.
But Mr.. Powers had made more
people spend money than any other
man in America.
Millions of people opened their
pocketbooks because he suggested it.
For forty years he had been the
man who said Here is something
you want. Buy it. Buy it of ME-"
Not one in hundred thousand of
the people he addressed knew who
he was. Somebody else's name was
always signed to his messages. For
he was an ADVERTISING man.
1t was almost a half century ago
that he devised the style of publi-
city known as the conversational
advertising
He originated the idea of putting
salesmanship on paper. l
What the clerk said to the custom
er in the store, If he was a good
salesman, Mr.. Powers said to the
possible buyer at his home.
In that way he gained the advant-
age of first hearing, the benefit Of
opening the argument. H.
He believed that people liked to
be talked to, and when it was evil
dent that he was getting an audi
ence other advertisers and other ad-
vertising writer's copied his style
and his methods. - 80
1t took more space to tell the
stores stories, but it paid. - es
1t isn't what you pay for a. thing
that determines economy or profit.
1t is what it returns to you, what
you get out of it. ss..
Advertising has grown nightly
since Mr.. Powers first announce
ment was published.
Some, of the producers that
thought his style of advertising, or
any other style, was useless, have
long ago disappeared, along with
their products.
A soap that when he began writing
ads was the biggest seller and the
best known laundry article in the
world, and the trademark of which
was judged by the courts to be
worth more than million dollars, is
never heard of now. WHY? Be-
cause the man who made it thought
he didn't need to advertise.
Other men with perhaps no better
soaps, but better brains, displaced
the million-dollar name to the point
of disappearance.
A tooth powder that forty years
ago was literally in everybody's
mouth followed the same course OF
atrophy for the same reason.
Atrophy means to wither away.
Mr.. Powers could never have used
the word in one of his advertise
ments, because he used plain words,
easy to understand.
Scores and scores of other good
products have failed because of lack
of publicity.
Advertising never failed to build
business if the thing advertised was
worth buying twice.
With good thing to sell and a
good advertisement in a good medi-
UNI to sell, success is certain.
No good newspaper will adver-
tise bad thing, if it knows it is
bad. Morally it isn't right to do it.
Selfishly it isn't good business. ,
TRUTH is the foundation of all ,

GOOD advertising. Advertising is
the superstructure, the building, the
architecture of which either attracts
or repels buyers. Il
Rules for advertising are rules for
all writing.
SPEAK BRIEFLY. Nobody is in
terested in a long story. O. Henry
has good many more readers in
Washington than Dickens. Say
enough to tell your story SO people
will understand it and then stop.
SPEAK PLAINLY. Use short
words. Use easy, understandable
words. Write short sentences that
can quickly be read. Fighters de-
pend on short, sharp blows to win.
AND KEEP AT 1T UNTIL YOU
WIN!
1t is the keeping everlastingly at
it that gets results. If you keep hit
ting big rock with small hammer
the rock will eventually break. Hit
ting it once don't often make
dent
Mr.. Powers did a great deal for
advertising, and in doing that he did
a great deal for the public. This
editorial is only poor tribute to a
worthy mans life's work.-The

Boptists of Birmingham are laying plans for Howard college to grow into great university, and toward that end they expect shortly to institute in Bir- mingham drive for s50O,0O0 with which to augment the funds they already have.
 The first big gun to be opened up is the s100,000 campaign among the alumni of the college. Before the drive is o1 already $20,000 has been subscribed.
 The idea of the leaders of the move ment is to make Howard college an in stitution such as New York college of New York; Boston university, Baltimore, Johns Hopkins Richmond. Richmond college; Chattanooga. University of Chattanooga; Nashville. Vanderbilt New Orleans, Tulane; Memphis, South western university; Denver, University of Denver. etc.
 That Birmingham needs a great edu- cational institution for young men aud young women cannot be denied says Dr. Williams, president of Howard. It is a fact which everybody admits. Leaders of this expansion movement are urging the city to concentrate on Howard.
 Already the new site, situated in Wood lawn, comprising 120 acres, between Fifty-ffth and Fifty-ninth streets, has
