statesmen AND ADVERTISING
MEN TO LEAD THE WAY IN 1920
WILLIAM H. RAMSEY, Chicago

The following is the creed |
would suggest to increase produc-
tion and lower cost of living in
1920:
-Work-More Work
More work to the hour.
More hours of the work
8-10-12 hours a day.
We're behind. Let's cater up
I EFT us put more work into every
Lhour and more hours into every
to serve as an example to other
workingmen and the rest of the
world.
Let US do our best to make Pro
gress and increase production in
more work done per hour and work
more hours per day.
Let's work with all our might
all our brain-all our heart to
make the world see that the only
road to permanent PROSPERITY is
rard work.
h The world needs more of every
thing. 1t looks toward America to
produce. What will America do?
Listen to the siren calls of the
gods of unrest or get down to bus
mess.
Will we shilley-shalley, parley,
delay, linger and wait while the
world starves?
Will our American workmen be
blind to the cause of the High
cost of living?
Will they continue to try to
boost themselves up by their boot
straps, in an attempt to beat the
high prices?
Will they fail to see trat every
disturbance-every hour of lay
off-costs them more than their
nlgHer wages.
Will they be blind to the fact
that shorter hours, higher pay de-
feats tire end thew are seeking?
That higher pay for Jess work
means higher prices for less theing
that they need.
Will they persist in their fren-
Lied "dog- -chasing-its-tair' meth
DDS until the craze of unrest
spreads to the farm?
Will the farm hand demand a
44-hour week, and thus boost the
prices still more?
Will the American workmen
continue to be unconcious tools OF

Bolshevists and |. w. w? Will la
Dor act aas a cats paw and singe
itself in the fire of discontent-to
further the cause of destpuetianist
who would make license of liberty
and substitute immortality for the
morality we now have.
Will Americans let a few of the
born in bitterness" foreigners
whip them into a tempest of dis
cord, that will wreck their life and
Liberty?
No!!! A thousand times NO!
We have faith in the American
spirit.
Deep down in the heart of ev-
cry American working man or EN-
ployer is a patriotism as strudy
as that of the men who made the
Declaration of independence.
This was shown in the great
war. 1t helped to win the war. 1t
will defeat the insidious foe of
American Progress and Prosperity
disguised as the friend of the
working man.
Production alone will cut down
the cost of living. Production
means work-an honest days
work for the farmer, the plumber,
the carpenter, the Office man, he
office boy. 1t means work with the
hands and theheart and with the
brain.
The price of prosperity is work
The price of contentment is work.
Good, faithful service for good pay
is the salvation of America and
of the world.
We are away behind on produc-
tion. Prices are soaring. The old
law of supply and demand always
works. Increase the supply by
work and the price will come with
in reach.
Because men are no wolf their
mental balance the country is off
balance. =
1t is up to the advertising man
to work to help restore balance,
to reduce prices by increasing pro
duction. Increased production will
make present wages buy more.
It's the only way to break the vi
cious circle of higher wages-less
work-higher cost of living.

A SWAN SONG
Knoxville, Jan, /.

Editor the news:-
On this the first day of the
new year, | feel that | could make
no better start than to write and
tell you that Of all the blessings
heaped upon me during the past
year, none surpassed the real joy
and pleasure received from read
ing the news. AS time goes by and
the hairs upon my head become
fewer, / like to sit down in my lit
tie home and mediate over the
past, and to travel life's pathway
over again. Being a Granger
County boy, having had the favor
of God shown me by permitting
me to be born in, such a noble
county, among such a noble peo-
pie, and spending twenty odd years
of my life there-nothing gives
me more pleasure and comfort
than to read in your paper of the
happenings and successes of my
home people. No spot on earth is
so dear to me asa your county and
no people quite so close to me as
her people; there is no scenery
so beautiful as the towering
mountains of my home county
and her sparkling streams of crys
tai waters as they flow gently
down the mighty Holston.
- | shall never forget my child
hood days as spent in the old In
dian ridge Settlement; of my first
experience aas teacher at Black
wells Branch. l am glad to note
that one of my students of that
school is now chairman of your
honorable county court. How JOY
GUS are the memories of the days
spent in teaching at Indian
Ridge, Richland and Morgans,
and how hungry l get for a news
item in your paper ferom these
places that my interest in the peeo
pie may not lag but may prosper
and grow and lead out into the
great useful avenues of life's
pathway.
May the blessings of God be
upon you,
That his joys with you He
may share;
May success crown your efforts
in every way
Are my wishes for you for the
New Year.
Respectfully,
