ing agreements was served upon Johu
! L. Lewis, president of the United
mime Workers of America, after a
meeting of the organization here late
today.
The word sent Lewis by the South
ern Ohio operators was said to have
been in answer to a letter sent out by
Lewis from Indianapolis on December
16 suggesting a meeting of two opera.
tors and two miners from each al the
four states in the central competitive
field to be held in Pittsburg next
Tuesday to agree upon time and
place for the next conference.

the operators of Southern Ohio will
propose a new scale FOR their en-
ployes that will not include the check
off and which will eliminate the in

was regarded in many quarters as in
dicating a possibly serious breach in
relations between operators and min
ers.
4 letter sent to Lewis telling OF
the decision to discontinue meetings
with the miners represe ntatives de-
clared that the plan of scale-fixing
employed in the past has seriously
contributed to the existing state of
extreme poverty and business depres-
sion thruout the mining districts to
Southern Ohio"
"To reach our natural markets, to
serve the public efficiently and eco
nomically, and to relieve conditions
which are destroying mining COM
munities, the mining industry and
the earning power of the Mines" the
letter concluded, 1.-The operators OF
Ohio feel that it is incum-
bent upon them to notify you now
that they can not meet with you as
heretofore"
Gordon Savage, secretary of the
Ohio Miners Association, tonight
said his organization had nothing to
say regarding the operators action.

withdrawal from the -four state

With this issue of the Republican
the year A. d. 1921 closes. This year,
like all that have gone before has
had its good spots, its sunshine and
its shadows, its seasons of joy and of
sorrow, yet, upon the whole we feel
that it has been at least up TO the
average, perhaps it has measured
above. The country has been free
from pestillence. Strife and discon-
tent have not been as prevalent as
predicted during the year preceding
and from a National standpoint we
feel that We have made progress, al
though general conditions are not
just what we would have them be.
Balances have not been struck-grad-
ing to the proper level is quite a long
way from completion-but we conf
IDENTIFY look forward to the date when
the rough peaks will be made more
nearly level with low places When
that shall have come 20 pass, and not
until then, will the general going be
made easier. This Paper has had
fair share of patronage and support,
financial and otherwise, during the
year just closing. Like individuals,
in most every vocation, it has made
errors, could have been better had
those responsible for its appearance
and the things appearing in its col
umns worked bit harder, yet we
feel that reasonable and faithful ef-
forts have been made by all connect
ed with 1t. We thank each individ
ual who has contributed news item,
who has given II business for which
there was financial remuaere ton. for
words of encouragement; while the
latter does not purchase stock. or
pay bills, yet they are priced more
highly than everything else. We

The death OF Henry Watterson
which occurred at his Florida home
Thursday of last week, marks the end
ceptions, who has graced editorial
writer's who has ever welded the pen
on a Kentucky Newspaper, perhaps
the most noted, with a very few ex-
ceptiOns, who has graced editorials
chairs within the entire history of
this Nation. Other writers there
have been, to be sure, but none with
the style of "Marse" Henry. There
was no such thing as No Mans Land
for Mr.. Watterson. He was to be
found upon one side or the other.
His pen carried sting. His argu-
ments were strong and frequently
vitriolic. but always Wattersonian.
One could select them from scores of
articles written by others. In short,
his pen, in the field he ranged, was
to the calling as "T. N. T." to high
explosives. While the Veteran of
thousand battles had retired from
the field of newspaperdom. yet the
Country, especially Kentucky, sees in
the death of Henry WatIerson the end
of the King of the Old Tribe, and
him as such.

WATER POWER RIGHTS

When the Federal Power Commits
sion holds it's next meeting on Mon
day, July % 1T is expected to act upon
the application of A. Reed Bingham
of this city for a permit to undertake
a waterpower development on the
Perdido river, near the Alabama
Florida state line. Mr.. Bingham
plans to harness the Perdido at five
points, generating 5000 horsepower.
Recently the commission called upon
Mr.. Bingham for additional informa-
ton, asking him to furnish it by July
Is. The request was complied with
and officials of the commission, with
this added information, are now pre-
pairing the case for action on next
Monday.
The original application is for
three sites on the Styx and Blackwater
rivers in Baldwin county.
These estimates of power are passed
on natural flow only in these streams,
further investigation will develop the
question Of water storage materially
changing the figures.
The present application is in the ma
ture of a temporary right merely en-
abling thorough and precise investi-
cation to be made. 1t asks a con-
firmation of first estimates in a for
NAL way and is an answer to those
who declare that water power is i'm
possible in this country.
Later steps will consist of reducing
the matter to precise estimates Of
cost, output and selling value, for a
complete report, this work will be
done.
The ultimate financing of this
project remains dependent on the re-
suits of a survey, furthermore the
financing of water power projects in
general may be said to be an entire
~ different matter from any other
form of investment since this is under
a new Federal Law, the workings OF
which are only now being slowly
shaped out, point by point. The law
was intended to attract investors in
waterpower as a matter of conserv-
ing coal resources of the nation by
the use Of an inexhaustible resource.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

No more convincing Illustration of
the efficiency Of newspaper advertis-
ing has been presented than the OK
perience Of the Literary Digest. Five
years ago when the magazine had
100000 circulation the directors de-
cided that a larger circulation was
desirable and that the only way to
get it was through advertising. For
four years 100000 was invested an
nually in 400 leading newspapers in
the United States with the result that
today the magazine has circulation
of 1900, 900, and its income has been
increased more than $50 per cent.
Would it have been possible for the
Literary Digest to secure such returns
from any other medium? We believe
not. Newspaper advertising presents
it's message when people are in a re-
ceptive mood. Appearing as it does
in a medium that is welcomed and
read in practically every household,
it is bound to attract the attention
of masses of people, and if the article
advertised possesses real merit, large
sales are sure to follow.

RAPID EXPANSION
WEEVIL POISONING
Has Made Necessary the Establish
ment of a Number of New
Field Stations.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The rapid
expansion of weevil poisoning through
out the southern states has unade
necessary the establishment of a
number of new field stations by the
department of agriculture throughout
the weevil infested territory, it was
announced today. The stations locat-
ed so far follows:
Fairfax, S. c.; Waynesboro, Ga;
Americas, Ga; DempoIis, Ala; Tus-
caloosa, Ala; Brookhaven, Miss;
Victoria, Texas; Denton, Texas; Ty-
Ter, Texas, and San Benito, Texas.
Two or more men are located at
each station, the announcement said,
one engaged in research work, and
the other surveying weevil and cotton
conditions throughout the surround
ing district. A number of men are
assigned to districts not accessible to
the established stations. The Selta
laboratory of the department at TuI-
lalah, Ala, is directing the work of
assisting the farmers in the work of
weevil determination
Reports from practically all portions
Of the cotton belt indicate there is an
unusually severe boil weevil infesta-
ton this year in nearly all portions Of
the south, the department announced.
From a series of surveys made by the
department laboratory at Tullalah,
during the last seven years it has been
determined that the infestation this
year is the heaviest which has been
experienced in any of the seasons ex-
cept that of 1916.
The surveys, made from 1915 to 1921
inclusive, were on II plantations in
Madison parish, Louisiana, the same
points being taken each year and
something over two hundred thousand
plants examined annually usually dur
ing the first week in June From
these observations the number OF
plants per weevil were computed as
follows: 1915, 1T; 1916, 100; 1917,
5.525; 1918, AL; 1919, 245; 1920, 221;
1921, 152. The observations, the de-
partment said, afford a fair degree of
comparison of the infestations deveI-
opipg each season.
"These comments, of course said
the department, apply only to the in
festation of hyberanated weevils. and
this infestation does not necessarily
determine the degree Of damage which
will be experienced throughout the
season, because weather conditions
may operate to offset this heavy initial
infestation and thus reduce the dam
age later. However, it simply means
this: If the injury by the weevil is
to be no more than normal, the wealth
er must be abnormally unfavorable to

PRESS COMMENT
He Who Runs May Read.

Cincinnati Enquirer: Most people
do read. They could not fit into the
present unless they did read. That is
why advertising is the most import
ant factor in modern business, as Dr.
John d. Tigert. United States COM
missioner of education, recently point
ed out in a speech delivered at Des
Moines. DR.. Tigert said: Important
as are the factors of labor, raw ma
terials. production, marketing and Or
ganization, none of them is as sig
nificant as advertising. The newspa-
per is the greatest medium of adver-
Using, and 1t is the only medium that
can be used for immediate effect"
The successful business world is aware
of the truth of the commissioners
statements. The successful men of the
world in any avenue of activity know
1t. Notably Mr.. Sunday and Henry
Ford are indebted to the public free
advertising as few men have been.
The churches and the professions have
come to realize the essential import
ance and value of this factor in the
social, religious and business fields.
The man who does not advertise is
a dead one" The procession leaves
him marooned in the desert of his
own isolation and folly. Whoever in
this day has something to dispose of
must tell the public all about it. If
he does not do this, the public will
buy something perhaps not so good,
but a something they have been taught
to know all about. The man in bus.
mess who does not advertise it not
a business man. He's on the way to
retirement, or worse. The demand for
commodities must be created. That
is done in these days by education
through advertising. The money in
vested in this form Of education yields
returns in proportion to the extent of
the campaign and the quality of the
article or commodity given publicity.
This is why the newspaper and the
live business men comprise the most
profitable kind of partnership.
