north and south bound mails have ar
rived at V. B. Its an hours run by

best and fall down as they did this
week two days in succession and
have done so before, (and missing
one day has become common), surely
such a condition could be met by
loading the mail onto an auto or
truck and have it in Leakesville
about the noon hour The federal
government is expected to see that
the mails travel and without delay
and surely somebody whose duty it
is to look after this particular branch
OF the postal service, has been and is
continueing to be woefully negligent
of suck needs and the vital interests
of many people are suffering. We
hope to see immediate relief.

An Advertisers Earn
est Request to All
of the Readers of
Advertising VI
By ]. R. HAMILTON

Former Advertising Manager Wanamakers Philadelphia

In spite of all of it's drawbacks advertising many times
over the cheapest method of marketing goods
And the principal drawback of advertising nonreadng
public 1t costs many times than ought simply because
have not acquired the habit consciously reading
1T costs that much put idea your
scousy than would received that idea consciously and
willingly
Now why don't you do your share lowering
of marketing merchandise
Practically every standard thing you buy an advertised
article And is always cheaper because 1t advertised The
volume and the distribution than make up for the advertising
cost You can't send salesman around from door to door as
cheapy as you can a newspaper.
But the pity of it is that advertisers have got to get
their ideas your mind you looking The greater
part of advertising impression subconscous impression
eye registers the thought against your will
If you would only learn consciously eagerly
what an automobile manufacturer clothing
shoe store has about its product you would bring the
cost of each article UNNECESSARILY.
After you have read what has say his product
whether he be retailer manufacturer then you
the goods themselves up against his claims them
very short time you where get everything
1t is all simple 1t is such moneysaver; it is such
mesaver And since every good thing you shy you buy
through advertising whether you know why look
for the advertising instead of making constantly you
If you will do this the whole problem will be smplifed
Immediately The advertiser will spend sixty per
his money trying to get your attention He will already
and he will be able to devote his entire attention his selling
talk When this is done the selling everything will again
be lowered and you the buying public will to gain
the benefit
Advertising it is is somuchcheaper method of sales
manshp that the nonadyertser simply cngng by his
teeth SO think how much cheaper every product going be-
when the cost of selling again reduced you
willingly to the ads
Get the habit now-for your sake.

HOW WE MADE GOOD
MONEY LAST YEAR
Hastings Declares That Southern
Farmers Can Repeat the Past
Years Prosperity. II

Atlanta, Ca Especially 1.-THE gen
crafty of Southern farmers made real
money out of their farming operations
in 1919, more profit than most of them
ever made before, despite boil weevil,
unfavorable seasons and labor short
age"
This statement was made recently
by H. G. Hastings, president of both
the Southeastern Fair Association and
the Georgia State Chamber of Com
merce, in discussing general farm
conditions in the South
Very naturally most of this farm
prosperity is credited to the high
price OF cotton and, of course, the high
price helped, but the real down-at-the-
bottom reason WIS that most farmers
owned their cotton when it was made
instead OF owing it for food and
grain bought on credit as used to be
the case when the practice was to grow
all or nearly al cotton and buy on
credit all or nearly all feod, grain, etc
Present farm prosperity is due
largely to what DIR. Bradford Knanp
head OF the demonstration work. has
so aptly termed Safe Farming which
is nothing more or less than growif z
on nome acres every pound of food,
grain and forage needed for family
and live stock use. When this is done
every other available acre can wisely
and safely be put in cotton or other
cash crop.
The expense of making cotton or
other cash crop is, either directly or
indirectly, the cost of food for man
and beast that works the crop. Most
items OF food and grain can be pro-
duced on southern farms at one-third
to one-balf what those same items
cost from supply merchants.
We made money last year bv fol.

We know of no subject upon which
to write editorally at this time that
is closer to the hearts and lives of

that OF the inadequate mail service

the system is not organized to cover

ment among the Leakesville people

and that the parcel post system

Herald hopes to see some energetic
and efficient man with large vision

vigor which characterized the postal
department. start these mails TO

down about time he gets away good.
Proper pay and reasonably planned
routes will secure that kind of SER

hope to get it. Surely 1920 is not
to be allowed to run OFT in the hit

the American people. They look to us
as the human agency to extricate
them from the frightful situation in
which they have been left as conse-
quence of the war.
If we should fail TO aid them, starya-
ton and the winters cold would go far
to completing the work done by the
unspeakable Turk.
l have not seen with my own eyes
the misery In which the Armenians
now exist. l have been spared that
But the reports which have been
brought In by agents Of the Near East

Peace Conference paint a picture of
Indebtedness inconceivable to those

ExIied From Homes.
Since the beginning of the war the
Turkish Armenians have been largely
refugees from their homes. A simple
agricultural people, they have been
exiles from their farms, deprived of
all opportunity to support themselves.
Year by year their sufferings have In
creased. Now, year after fighting
has ceased, they are still living the
life of nomads, able to continue to
keep alive only by virtue of American
philanthropy.
These homeless people-"fllthy inf
dels" to the Turk-were good enough
to exert their poor might in our be-
half while the war was still in the
balance. Massacres of a half century
had not so broken their spirit that
they dared not fight for right and for
democracy when justice was the issue.
We accepted their aid then. Surely
we shall not pass them by without
compassion now.
The day has passed when any self
respecting man dares permit absorp-
lion in his own personal affairs 10 ex-
clude consideration Of his neighbours
well being No honorable man can
knowingly allow his nelghbor to hun
ger or to go unclothed. The Christian
peoples Of the Near East are our
neighbors The money needed to re-
lieve them can be spared without
causing any man, woman or child in
the United States to suffer.
Must Not Rest on Past.
In other years of our own free will
we sent missionaries to Turkey. Our
schools and colleges and hospitals
have played a wonderful role in hui
manizing that dark spot in the world.
Our ideas, our educational resources,
our material equipment, have been
leaven in the Near East Because we
have done well in times past we have
this great opportunity for the present.
The Armenians have been treated as
perhaps no people in history have been
treated because they are the spiritual
brothers of western races.
VIII America help them? There
can be but one answer. Their neces-
slty is dire, but our power Is great.
We are wealthy. We are member of
the family of nations. Our brothers
call us. Food, clothes, money, are Inn
mediately wanted If ever unmerited

Of the Armesfsans should be needed

60 DIR. Livingston Farrand, exec
utive head Of the American
Red Cross, has given his I'M
qualified endorsement Of the
1919 Red Cross Christmas Seal sale,
which is now under way and which
will extend for ten days under the
auspices of the National tuberculosis
Association and its 1000 allied organ
izations. A fund of more than $6,500,-
co., which will be used in the 1920 ed
ucational and preventive campaign,
will be raised through the sale of the
seals
Acquainted as he is with all ques-
lions of general health community i'm
provement and relief because of the
nature of his work and office, DR.. Far
rand's endorsement is based upon an
expert knowledge Of what the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association has ac-
compllsbed and will accomplish in the
future. His letter to DR.. Charles j.
Hatfield, Managing Director of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association, fol-
lows:
II have been greatly Interested in
the plans that the National Tuberculo-
sis Association is making for the sale
of Christmas Seals during the coming
holiday season. The success of that
effort is Indispensable to the carrying
out of the farreaching plans of the
Association in its fight against tuber-
culosis in this country.
"The American people, in common
with the nations of Europe, are be-
coming aroused to the critical impor
lance of the problem Of vitality and
conservation of health as the neces-
sary factor In re-establishing the
world after the devastation and de-
struction caused by the war OF all
the preventable diseases, tuberculosis
takes perhaps the first place in impor-
lance. For that reason | view with
keenest sympathy and approval the
splendid work which the National Tu-
berculosis Association is conducting,
and l trust that the response of the
American people in the Christmas Seal
Campaign will be generous and univer-
sal. Sincerely yours,

Clarke County shows through its
county-seat paper, the Tribune, pub
lished at Quitman, the most fore
closure Sales being run at this time
that we have noticed. The last
number of that paper bad seven such

column long and was the sale under
chancery receivership of the proper

prise; the other six were mortgage
or Trust Deed Sales. A man who
has mortgage Indebtedness and IS
not paying something on it these
days of flush money tide, can not
blame his creditors for closing IN on
it, though we recognize that tempo

to keep up payments. The farmers

a great deal of the mortgage system

it more liberal terms and lower rate

times but nearly always hard to pay
