NUMBER 20
LIQUOR DECISION
AFFECTS AUTO MEN.

United States Attorney Lee Doug
lass, of Nashville, is in receipt of an
advance copy of the decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the
case of Goldsmith, Grant Company
VS.. the United States in which the
Supreme Court settled definitely a
question of great interest, not only to
those who would violate the prohi-
bition law, but to innocent automo-
bile dealers and owners, whose cars
are used by other parties in removing
and concealing "moonshine" liquor.
The plaintiff was an automobile
sales company and had sold the car
retaining the title for the unpaid
purchase money, to taxicab opera
tor, who used it in transporting il
licit spirits, but such use was without
the knowledge of the automobile
company, who did not even suspect
that the car was being illegally used.
The Supreme Court held that the
government mas entitled to seize and
forfeit the car, regardless of the in
nocence of the owner and in spite of
the owner having a title to the cal
The opinion quoted the old maxim,
from the Mosaical law: "If an OK
gore man that he die, the OK shall
be stoned and his flesh shall not be
eaten"
The decision will go hard with au-
tomobile dealers who have sold cars
on part payment, retaining the title,
to people who use them illegally and
get them caught.

THE PNEUMONIA MONTH.

March is typical pneumonia
month and usually gives a high rate
of mortality for the disease. After a
hard winter, the system loses much
of its resistance and people grow
careless. When ever cold, no matter
how slight, is given prompt and in
telligent attention, there is much less
danger of pneumonia. 1t should be
bourn in mind that pneumonia il a
germ disease and breeds in the
throat. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is an expectorant and clenses out the
germ ladened mucus and not only
cures a cold but prevents its result
ing in pneumonia. 1t is pleasant to
take. Children take it willingly. All
Druggists.

HERBERT H00VER'S
INVISIBLE GUESTS.

Recently Herbert Hoover, assist
ed by General John j. Pershing and
other people of note, served a beef
stew super to one thousand wealthy
New Workers.. The supper consisted
of one course only and cost each guest
the small sum of one thousand dol
lars. This million dollars was the
first of thirty-five millions which
must be raised in beneficent Ameri-
ca for the relief of the orphans of the
Near East.
A nationwide appeal has been rails
ed, and churches of every denomina-
ton were asked to make Jan. 3Oth,
guest day for the children of that
war stricken country. An empty
chair placed before the congregation
was invisibly filled with the pres
ence of an Armenian child. Ten dol
lars provides food and lodging for
such one for a year. Many church
es have fifty chairs filed with invisi-
BILE guests-meaning that five hun
dred dollars has been given to care
for fifty children.
This work has received some atten-
ton in Lexington. The Methodist
Church, South, has three invisible
guests" and the League has one. The
Grammar School has one, and the
High School, at a meeting Monday
night, pledged to have four or five.
H. A. Powers is County Chairman
of this work and individuals as well
as churches are urged to help support
some of these little guests. No more
beautiful spirit can be conceived than
for family to have vacant chair
in their household, filled in fancy
with one of these destitute children.
This is the spirit of Christ who loved
little children, and who said that our
smallest efforts to care for such
should not go mrewarded.
Will you not be one to have an in
visible guest" in your home and
school and church,. sa -

THE CORRECT
,0ODS TO PUSH

Every man who keeps a store now
ldays is advertised. whether he ad-
yertises himself or not. Consequently
very storekeeper must be interested
n advertising. The makers of scores
of things sold right here in Winnie
mucca advertise them for the home
merchants-not over their names. 1t
is true, but they advertise; and the
public, knowing that advertised arti-
cles are always sold in good stores.
naturally go into good stores when
seeking a branded and advertised
product.
These manufacturers who adver-
tise put up good products, too If
they didn't the advertising would fail
This product, usually the best of its
kind to be had, is advertised to slim
ulate the dealers own individual
trade. A demand is created by the
maker and the goods are partly sold
from the moment the dealer has
placed his order. You go to a store
for soap, and you ask for brand
YOU have seen advertised. 1t is the
same way with hundreds of other
things-you know them through ad
yertising, and you know that unless
they were good the advertising would
have stopped long ago.
Advertising makes selling easy
The merchant knows this. and he
knows that he doesn't have to talk
up" advertised products, and he does
not lose time explaining their merits
to the customer. All he has to do is
take the order for an advertised arti-
Gle, wrap up the goods, and put the
money in the cash drawer.
That being the case, there should
not be a merchant in all this land so
headstrong as to argue that advertis-
ing doesn't pay. For he is arguing
against the makers of the very goods
he has upon his shelves.
