Now is the Time to Advertise

who has maginations, courage and initiative, whose
vision is not contracted and fixed upon the discourage

OF the returning tide be seen, will prepare to take
advantage of it at the flood.
Some business reduce their advertising space in
order to curta expenditures the theory that they
must practice economy it is best to cut down the items OF
expense where they least ESSENTIAL. Advertising
seems to the business Of certain type to be lux
ury which may be safely INDUCED in during prosperous
times but which cannot be bought except in limited way
when the market is dull
1t is the other way around. The dull periods are
those which demand the largest and most careful ex-
pendture of money for advertising 1t is needed like
stimulant in times of weakness
Big advertising firms receiving letters which
read please cancel my advertising but don't mention
and go writing in optimistic vein about business
conditions Or the customer writes s'cancel our ad-
vertisement We must husband resources
1t is worth inquiring whether it isn't true that if
business generally to enter upon vigorous
campaign of udicous advertising it would not have the
effect of creating in the public mind feeling of
confidence and optimism and induce than any
thing else resumption of argescale production and
consumption
Advertising is the lfe-bood of trade To sshusband
at this point is like going back in medicine
the practice of bleeding the patient to reduce the fever
when what he needs is better blood and more of it.
Business men insstent that the press sound
and the note of optimism They regard this wise
and beneficial But there is no other way in which OPP
timsm be spread effectively through generous
appropriation of money for high-class advertising.
The who follow such policy will find their re-
ward in the good times ahead They will be the creators
of prosperity and have right to the major share.

Circuit Court Begins
With Light Docket

The Montgomery Circuit Courl
convened here yesterday with Judge
Henry Prewitt OF the bench. Judge
Prewitt's charge to the grand jury
was strong one. He greatly de-
plored the night riding conditions
now prevalent in this section. 'Night
riding is unlawful" said Judge
Prewitt, "and the provisions Of our
statutes makes it felony for per-
sons to band together for the pur-
pose Of intimidating another. Be-
sides being felony these acts are
deserving Of the condemnation Of
every good citizen in the commun-
ity." Judge Prewitt also stressed the
Importance Of the prohibition laws
being enforced to the letter, and Of
the offenders being brought to JUS
tice.
The docket for this term is a COM
paratively light one and few cases Of
Importance will be heard. -
John Turner, colored, held on a
charge Of stealing chickens, was
tried yesterday, and cleared.
Lane Clarke, held on charge Of
Transporting whiskey, was found
guilty and fined fifty dollars, with
80 days in jail.
The case Of a number Of resi-
dents in the neighborhood against
the Mt. Sterling Laundry, in which
they claim the laundry is respon-
sible for smoke nuisance was tried
and the case dismissed.
H. Fl. Pieper, held on embezzle-
ment charges, will be heard this af-
ternoon and the Verne Jones case
viii come up for trial tomorrow.
The case Of Claude Salyer, charg-
ed with the killing of Greene Cole,
will also come up this week.

Nightriders in
Neighboring Counties

Excitement was at a high pitch
Sunday in Bath and Fleming coun-
ties, where late Saturday night and
early Sunday morning fifteen prom
Inent tobacco growers were visited
by band of armed night riders and
warned not to raise any tobacco this
year and not to haul or sell any this
season.
Posses were formed in Bath coun-
ty, but after thorough search they
were unable to find any trace, either
of the night riders or of their meet
ing place.
Bath county and Fleming county
authorities are unwilling to believe
the bands were recruited from their
respective counties. The opinion was
expressed by Fleming county Off
ciasl that the night riders consisted
entirely of dissatisfied growers from
Bath county.
They cite, in support of this view,
the fact that prices obtained on the
Flemingsburg market have been
higher than the average elsewhere,
and no reports of dissatisfaction
have been made.
1t is believed in Bath county, how
ever, that the men lived in Fleming
county, as they seemed to have
gathered and dispersed near the
Fleming county line, it is said. Some
of the men likely we're from Bath
county since they seemed familiar
with farmers over that section, it
was reported.
Although fifteen growers were re-
ported to have been visited by the
band, names of only five were avail
able. They were:
T. S. Robertson, Bethel Bath
county, who is widely known in this
section; Thomas Crouch, Jake Boyd
and farmer named Stevens, Bath
county; W. T. Shields, and truck
driver by the name of Tomlin, Sher-
burne, Fleming county.
First reports of threats being
made came from near Sherburne,
Fleming county, and it is believed
that the hand next proceeded toward
Bethel, several farmers being arous-
ed on the way. When those sum-
moned came to the door they were
told in ocular way by the night |
riders they were '1oking for a doc
tor"
twenty-five men visited Mr.. Rob-
ertson's home in Bath county about |
11:30 o'clock Saturday night and
four approached him, with their
backs to him, to prevent recognition.
They warned him not to raise any
tobacco during the coming season
and not to sell or haul any to mar

We are in receipt OF letter from
Joe s. Boggs, State Highway Engi-
neer, urging that Montgomery coun-
ty accept the proposition recently
made this county to build perma-
nent type road from this city to the
Clark county line, whereby the cost
to Montgomery county would only be
25 per cent Of the original cost of
construction. The same proposition
was made Clark county which has
been accepted, and we cannot but be-
lieve that Montgomery county should
do likewise without delay. Mr.. Boggs'
letter in part follows:
s'The proposition was made by the
chairman of the State Highway
Commission and myself at Winches-
ter, some weeks ago for the improve
ment, with permanent type Of
road, Of the Midland Trail from Mt.
Sterling to the Clark county line,
provided Montgomery county wonld
bear twenty-five per cent of the cost
of same, is yet open and ! sincerely
trust viii be accepted. Improvement
>of this project will probably entail
an expenditure Of 100000 at the
outside, Of which, Of course the
state and federal governments would
pay seventy-five per cent, or $780,
600, and this return to your county
would amount to more than the au-
tomobile license tax would be for
several years ahead.
"On the Bath county end Of the
Midland Trail I believe our commits
sion would be willing to make the
same proposition and, ! cannot help
but feel that the major portion Of
the citizenship of Montgomery coun-
ty are good enough business men to
not let such offers get away"
The Advocate has always (underl
its present management been a
strong advocate Of good roads and
it cannot but believe that the citi-
zens Of Montgomery county should
avail themselves of this proposition
without delay.
We understand there has been |
some hesitancy among local offici-
ais from heartily entering into the
above proposition due to the fact
that the legal right of county to
loan money to the state under the
present road laws having been chal-
lenged. OF course if we can loan this
$4,000 to the state and have it re-
turned at some future date, that is
what we want to do, but if such can
not be done, we believe it would be
wise move to vote a bond issue and
appropriate the needed funds for
this purpose without further delay.

camille marine Is prepared to transport

which usually precipitate sustained

Such are the simple fundamental facts

slider the present reaction as anything

furthermore, any man who seeks to
