Hart, Schaffner & Marx, clothine
manufacturers, who have invested
millions in newspaper advertising
and who have encouraged dealers
to provide liberal appropriations for
advertising. have published book
let showing that money cannot be
spent for advertising-the idea be-
ing that the more a merchant adver-
tises the more business he will do
so the way to decrease advertising
expense is to increase the advertising.
This is no new idea and is not a
theory. Americas greatest mer-
chants owe their success to advertis-
ing, and it will be observed that even
in the smaller cities and the mer-
chant that advertises the most is
usually the most successful. Some
small merchants have never seen the
matter in this light, which may ac-
count for the fact that they are small
merchants.

ABOUT SELLING BONDS

For sometime past bonds Of all
kinds have been at a low level with
practically no demand at the low
prices. Nearly everyone understands
the reason for the slump in prices of
bonds, so we will not endeavor to ex-
plain the depression here. Suffice it
to say that if present indications and
the opinions of those who are sup
posed to know count for anything,
good bonds of every description will
be in demand at good prices within
the next few months; in fact, within
the last few days considerable is

This public denial came following the
United protest of the women's clubs
of the state after "rumor" got out
that application would be made for
executive clemency prior to January

When we see what the mere rumor
of applying for pardon for Menden-

the pardon is published? The Trib-
une does not believe there would be
housing accommodations enough in
Tallahassee to take care of those who
would flock to the capital protesting
against the pardoning of this man,

spectacular murder of the elder wOm-

head in case he should be pardoned,

the younger woman.
The Tribune kept silent while the
rumor was being spread, and later

Mendenhall is actually working for
pardon and is admittedly seeking to
overcome the protest of the women of
the state against his release. The

must not be released from the punish

age hope in criminal breasts that no

pardon will come upon showing that
the prisoner is repentant.-- Tampa

The Crent Advantage in Savings
Stamps and Certificates.

The Crent Advantage in Savings
Stamps and Certificates.
Il wish the people fully under
stood the special advantage of Saw
ings Stamps and TREASURY Savings
Certificates" said Silas W. Davis,
Government Director for the War
Loan Organization Of the Sixth Fed
eral Reserve District. For example,
the Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates, which are sim
ply Savings Stamps in 500 and ST.
900 denominations with the registra-
ton privilege, II not subject to
market fluctuations and in this re-
|spect have an important advantage
over Government Bonds. This is true
because they are redeemable by the
Government on ten days notice.
Another important advantage is
that the interest is compounded auto
matically on Savings Stamps and Ger
~tificates. If you buy a Bond you have
to collect the interest and reinvest it.
If you buy Savings Stamps or Ger
tificates, they mature in five years,
the interest is approximately four
percent compounded quarterly and
.reinvested for you, so that at the end
of five years the Government turns
over in cash the whole of your prin-
cipal, plus four percent interest for
the whole period.
Another distinct advantage is that
these Stamps and Certificates may be
cashed at any time on ten days no
tice in case of need. This is a great
safety clause and a man may be per-
fectly comfortable in buying these
Savings Stamps, because he will be in
a position to meet any contingency, or
any urgent need Of money arising
from sickness, the purchase of
home, the education of children, or
anything of that sort, and he can do
so in ten days, and this without any
expense for selling the securities. 1t
YOU sold bonds you would have to pay
brokerage and take market price,
whatever that might be-. With Saw
ings Stamps or Certificates you can
get one hundred percent, plus inter
est at a slightly lower rate than you
would if you waited until maturity.
This rate is approximately three per-
cent, where you get four percent II
you wait until maturity
81 am glad to say that the Decem-
Der sales of Savings Stamps through
out the Pnited States and in this Dis
trict, composing the Southeastern
States, were larger than during any
other month of 1919. From this, we
hope that the people have made up
their minds to get back on an eco
nomical basis. 1t is high time they
were doing So"

THINGS THAT EVERYBODY
SHOULD THINK ABOUT

Everybody is aware that a dogs
nose is cold, but very few people
know why. The cartilage composing
the outer surface of the dogs nose is
almost destitute of blood vessels, but
plentifully supplied with glands,
which exude a watery secretion, that,
by its evaporation, keeps the nose be-
low the normal temperature. The
dogs sense of smell is located in the
nerves within the nostirls. and it is
probable that these are keft in better
condition by the low temperature of
the ~cartilaginous tip of the nose. The
state of the dogs health is at once
indicated by his nose, for nc dog with
a hot, dry nose can be healthy and
one of the first signs of rabies is dry
ness and heat of the nose, for those
symptoms indicate fever, and fever
is the beginning of hydrophobia.
The non-advertising merchant go
eth forth to his lair at the rising of
the sun and 10! no man intereth. He
standeth around all day, like unto a
bottle Of castor oil, and the people
with the shekels come not unto his
shanty. He advertiseth not his wares
and his fact is forgotten on the face
of the earth. Who hath dried ap-
pies? Who hath fly spoiled ging-
hams? Who hath calicoes made "be-
for de wah?" Who hath stale bak-
ing powder without end? He that
knoweth not the way to the printer.
Every once in a while we hear a
farmer say: "Well, the corn l plant
ed the middle of June is the best and
the heaviest I've got. And yet how
we Responded, and even declared corn
planted at that time could not pro-
duce a crop. And probably some re-
fused to plant, and those that did
plant worked in despair and without
hope. Let us learn the lesson, "seed
time and harvest" are promised, and
"your labor shall not be in vain."
A little more trust would burnish up
hope, brighten today and lead to
gratefulness tomorrow.
Feast and your friends are many;
fast and they cut you dead; they'll
rot get mad if you treat them bad,
so lang as their stomachs are fed.
Steal if you get a million, for then
you can furnish bail; it's the great big
thief who gets out on leave, while
the little ones get to Jail. Advertise
and the dollars come to you; quit
and they fail to come in, for what
care the men who have money to
spend, for the men who don't care to
see them.
1t is the truest courtesy to diver
tise. It is a polite invitation for
people to come to your store and see
you as we'll as your goods. 1t is a
guarantee of fair and polite treat
ment to all who come. Everyone
likes the polite and cordial person.
Now this courtesy gets the people to
your store. You should stand by your
promises in the advertisement or you
will get the name of M who know
ingly misrepresents for the purpose

The functions Of the Interchurch
World Movement are threefold. First
1t collects, by means Of world surveys,
all the pertinent facts on which de,
nominational programs may be built,
Second, It sets up the practical ma.
chinery Of cooperation. Third, 1t acts
In an advisory capacity whenever its
advice is requested.
The Movement has nothing to do
with organic church union or matters
of creed or doctrine. Each constituent
unit preserves complete autonomy. and
is bound only 50 far as It wishes to be
bound. Financial appeals are made
by each denomination to its own con.
stituency. Any surplus IN undesignat.
ed funds. over and above the actual
cost Of administration, will be prorat.
ed among the denominations engaged
IN a given financial undertaking.
An illustration Of one thing the
Movement car do Is to be found In a
western community Of 1000 persons
In which thirteen denominations have
been supporting separate churches
with missionary funds. while an ada
cent territory Of $1,000 persons has
only three churches. BY seeing that all

A wisely conducted newspaper is

Everything is served up with a view

palatable. Be generous and broad
enough to select gracefully such read
ing matter from newspapers as will
be agreeable to your mental taste.
You, as an individual, are not COM
PEELED to swallow everything. We do
not all think alike on every subject
and it is a good thing, as it makes
more variety, and variety is the spice

Washington, April 30.-Forty

permission to cross the border in
case they are threatened as "A result

Through official channels it was
learned today that federal forces
still hold the port Of Frontera, the
only port of that section of Mex
leo not controlled by the rebels
since Gen. Carlos Greene, federal
commander and military governor
of Tabasco, revolted.
The rebels in the state of Guer-
