ADVERTISING PAYS
FRANKLIN & CANNON

1t is a pleasure to know that the
advertising of Franklin & Cannon,
done thru the Advocate, is having
real results, coupled with the fact
that the firm is carrying an increas-
ingly fine stock which meets the ap-
prevail of the buying public. Mr..
Collie Franklin insists that every
week his advertising is bringing him
a larger clientele, which is of course
the object of advertising.
One has respect for the firm that
let's the people know what it has for
sale and the price at which goods
may be purchased. The business of
firms in the larger cities is of course
built up thru advertising and genu-
inc value and Franklin & Cannon
have the good sense to realise this
fact and to take the public into their
confidence, first. as to what they may
have for sale. and. secondly, that
they appreciate the business of their
friends.
If all our merchants would do this
it would mean that much business
would be drawn to Barbourville,
which now goes to surrounding
towns.

ton was called to the countless
weeds that are growing within the

suggested that maybe the League

II Is regrettable fact that the
grocery stores of Barbourville do not
advertise and quote their prices.
More and more people are studying

are sending away for their groceries.
Some day our grocers will discover

policy does not pay. Meantime, the
city grocers, who are taking the pub
lie into their business to the extent
of letting them know what goods
cost, are getting more and more
of the business that would other
wise be done at home.

Ragnar Johnston
Spoke at Forum

Eagnar Johnston, one of the men
who is now out on bail from a charge
of criminal syndicalism, spoke to an
enthusiastic audience in the Forum
here Saturday night. Mr.. Johnston
told of the conditions in the federal
penitentiary at Leavenworth where
he served six months of his sentence.
He told how the men in prison, after
a few months, begin to count the
very days that they have been be-
hind the bars and when one of them
is asked how long they have been
in the reply is, $50 many days or
months and Last Night" He
told too that the prisoners are al
lowed no money at all, bags of to-
bacco are used in place of money.
Mr.. Johnston told how criminals who
have killed one, two and sometimes
more people have received a term
of Is years; and the men who re-
fused to kill were given 20 years.
Another story he told was that some
of the men who were in for criminal
synicalism were taken down in the
"Black hole" where two negroes, one
in for killing a white woman and
one for killing a white man, with
headguards and chest protectors, and
bats, beat them up with bats, while
armed guards stood outside, ready
to see that the men being beaten
did not raise their hands to defend
themselves. Mr.. Johnston's talk was
full of such incidents of prison
life that the ordinary citizen can
have no conception of, without get
ting the information first hand.
