The Hardest Job in EUery Business

TN nearly every line production has been
4 increased on account Of the war. The
4 hardest job ahead is to find market in
" ' peace times for what those factories turn out.
Money is made-not in manufaCturing-bu
In selling. Yet selling seldom receives the
attention 1t deserves
The number of factories manufacturer can
-build-the profit he can earn-are limited by
the amount OF merchandise for which he can
find profitable market.
If demand can be kept ahead of production
profitable market is sure. And the one way to
keep demand ahead of productionisby adver
Using teaching the public to use of
your goods.
In the past the South has bent her energies on
manufacturing. The marketing OF her prod
ucts were largely left to others who took the
materials and staples and converted
them into specialtieS, trade-marked adver-
tised and sold them And, invariably, it is the
selling ofspecaltiest that pays the wide margin
of profit and the selling of staples that pays
the slim.
Greater profits keeping conditions in our
hands instead of on them-depend upon
marketing our goods as we'll as upon max
ing them.
The Souths cotton goods should be known by
brand-nameS in Detroit just we know and
buy the various makes of automobiles pro-
duced by the citizens of that enterprisng
Michigan city.
Lumber, of which the South is the Nations
greatest posseSsor will be needed for recon-
struction and the merits of our various woods
should be convincingly told by advertising
The South is the greatest reproducing sec
ton of America. In the vegetable oils from
her cotton-seed, peanuts and soy beans she
produces more fat than all the dairy COWS of
Amerca-more fat than all the hogs Slaught-
cred in year More Southern-made and
marketed compound lards and salad oils
would bring additional millions into Dixie.

TRI-PARISH FAIR

Attention is called to the fact that
this year is to see a renewal Of the
Tri-Parish Fair of Tensas, Madison
and East Carroll parishes. The fair
Is to be held at Lake Providence Oct
ober Is, IA, and Is. Every individual
Of the three parishes is responsible
for the success Of the fair, and it is
hoped that each one will feel his re-
sponsibility.
In Madison parish Miss Whitaker
and Mr.. Watson will take charge Of
the entries. These will be collected in
Tallulah and carried to Lake Provi-
dence in trucks. In order that those
people may be able to do anything
they must have the backing and as
sistance of the people. Each woman
and child should make at least one
entry, If is is nothing more than a
pocket handkerchief, each man should
make an entry If nothing more than
IN ear of corn.

COMMON DECENCY

In moving about town one sees
many common, every day occurrences
which serve to make the fellow who
is a bit sensitive blush with shame
at the actions and attitude Of many
citizens who bear excellent reputa-
tons in the community, and Of whom
as leading citizens much is to be ex.
pected.
1t takes only little effort to say
"Good Morning" it takes only q
sunny smile to make someone else
feel glad. The kindly gesture, the
sunny smile, the polite bow of the
head, the glad hand of fellowship are
the little things which spur men on
to niger and nobler attainments.
But when you walk down the street
and some citizen Of supposed good re-
pute stares into space, looking in
another direction, then coolly mods
his naughty head, lit makes your
blood run cold and your heart fairly
burn with contempt. When a man
can't treat his fellowman with show
of common decency simply for the
fact that they do not agree on some
minor point, he is a very narrow man
and hardly worth the space he
occupies in any public place. When a
man sees but one side Of any ques-
ton he becomes a menace to So
ciety, and should not be taken
seriously by those who are forced
to live in the same community with
him.
The LOWEST hobo that passes
through town is never entirely
bereft of common decency, and still
knows the meaning of politeness.
So there is no reason for taking
seriously or paying any special atten-
ton to the citizen who has not vet
learned that which the hobo has al
WAYS known and refuses to forget.
