For the Good of
 the Community

SOMETIMES the cautious, whose ex- O perience has taught them to keep a weather eye on the downs" as we'll as the "ups" of life enter mild protest against what they term continuous news paper boosting"
 On the other hand these same cautious ones have their sales agents whose sole duty it is to "boost" the merits of that which they produce and have for sale
 The salesman who misrepresent his goods does not secure return orders, but he who pertinaciously presents their ac- tual qualities and thereby creates satis- fled customers puts his business on firm basis.
 A community cannot know too much about itself. A newspaper cannot tell it's readers too much about their community. The community cries out for the com munity spirit and "get-together" is the slogan of every gathering where the com mon interest is the subject matter
 A father, whose study of his son is con- fined to a loud pedal on his faults and soft pedal on his good qualities, will not do the wise thing by that child. It is just as important for the fledgling to know what he is fit for as what he is not fit for
 So, the well-conducted newspaper does it's best to discover what are the underly- ing potentialities for good of the com munity which 1t serves and then 1t goes to work to develop them by persistent and optimistic publicity.
 Mobile harbors thirty-foot channel has just been completed
 The roseate horoscope of that attain ment painted by Alabama newspapers for thirty years did not clog the wheels of achievement
 The power dam at Muscle Shoals is so far toward completion that they are awarding contracts for the generators of 12O 000 horse power of electric energy
 The glowing forecast of what that means to Alabama told and re-told in Alabama newspapers these ten years and more did not retard that work
 Fat cattle are on Alabama's plains None educated the Alabama farmer in that industry more than the newspapers that published column on column of the high prices that tick-free and pure-bred stock would bring.
 When the people were called on to vote special taxes for schools for their children, the news papers pointed out to the tax-paying parents the vista of the success of the educated child
 The government gave us canazed Warrior. It stood without the door of peoples apprecia- tion until the newspapers led them to realization by years of mirroring it's value as freight burden bearer.

NO GAMBLING AT THE
STATE FAIR THIS YEAR

In response to a request by the
State Fair Commission, the Phoenix
Chamber of Commerce has announced
that it will make every effort to care
for visitors to the fair. Steps will be
taken to prevent hotels, rooming
houses and restaurants who might be
so inclined from taking advantage of
the thousands of guests who will con-
gregate in this city during the week
of November 8.
1t was suggested by the fair man.
agement that the Chamber of Com
merce ascertain the present rates for
lodgings and meals, and then that
steps be taken to see that these are
not raised during fair week. 1t is ex-
pected that the Chamber of Commerce
will be able to announce to the out
side public prices that will prevail for
hotel rooms, for quarters in lodging
houses, and for accommodations in
private homes.

ing travellers thereto.

been our aim to present clean sports
and clean entertainment, despite ru-
mors or criticism to the contrary that
have arisen in some quarters. This
year even greater effort will be put
forth to keep horse racing free from
the stigma that is usually attached to
the sport where bookmaking and other
forms of gambling are permitted"
In response to the public demand
for clean amusement, and the desire
of the fair management to present the
best entertainment possible, the
Workman Shows have been secured
for the Pike. These are reputed to be
