Pennybaker is brotherhood member, but as Gregg is not he asked the circuit court at Louisville for the injunction on the ground that the semi ority contract did no tapply to him, The injunction was refused and he appealed 70 the court of appeals.

FORT PAYNE

Fort Payne, October 2.-(Special) J.
 What is considered the most successful county fair ever held in DeKalb county
 was brought to a close here today after a five-day session. While the attendance
 was not large on the opening day, the crowds have grown each day until during the last three days many thou sands of people passed through the gates. The largest agricultural exhibits in years and the exhibits of live stock and poul- try were applauded by the farmers who also found the tractor exhibits attractive. The horse races were exciting and fur
 nished probably the greatest enjoyment to the crowds. Lieut.. Sam Herrell thrilled thousands each afternoon with his large airplane and a number of free acts were given daily in front of the grandstand. It is generally under stood that the present session of the fair has been the best yet held by the association and will mean the continua- tion of the fair throughout the years to come.

ing Of the national com mittee who voted against holding the convention in Chicago. His choice was St. Louis. This is explained on the ground that the Wood adherents secretly feared the holding of the convention in Chi caso because of the psychological ef- feet it might have on the nominations, Governor Lowden of Illinois being a candidate for the G. O. P. leadership.
 According to statement published in the Now fork Times. General Wood and MT. Hays met a few days ago in Chicago and the army man is said to have informed AIr. Hays that lie would retain the chairmansllip Of the national committee if the general won the nomination.
 One reason. the General explained. why he would prefer to have NIT. Hays in office rather thar Ar. kirs is his hesitancy to swap horses while crossing 8 stream. The Times ar hcie says that the rumor of MT, King proposed promotion has caused a great deal of cm mbarra ssm ent among friends and supporters of General Wood. who regard it as like ly that it was put in circulation to alenate the host of Chairman Hays friends who occupy party positions of influence throughout the country. from the Gcneral.''

 Among the contributing factors to low mertal visibility Is the ha aphaza I'd manner some merchants have of pur- chasing stock. They buy from any salesman who enters their stores just because he is occasionally able to quote a price slightly lower than his competitors. And they don't stop to reason that price counts for little in the long run.
 Another cause for failure or half success is the attitude of. some bus mess men toward advertising. They handle the subject as if it were hot poker. Advertising is telling the people what you have to sell and the price for which you will sell it. The public wants 10 know your line and is interested in what you charge. In all fairness, the merchant should ad- Vertise his wares and let folks know he is in town.
