Many things have been said and a great deal has been published regarding the truth in advertising For many years I have been a very strong advocate and have written many articles which I have paid for pubIica ton in the daily press regarding the truth in advertising. | have always considered il a great pleasure to have been recognized as one of the first advocates for the enactment of a law that will protect the public against mis- statements and misrepresentation in advertising.
 You have. time and again read and listened to about how some certain business was being con- ducted and the great trade they were doing, and they have boasted about the tremendous sales and customers that have come into their place of business. At other times you have read Western Union telegrams reproduced con corning the wonderful bargains that were bought from the New York office and the great savings in merchandise that would be placed on sale so that the Phoenix public could take advantage Of it. The public is blind to a great many of these statements and my only reason to reprove the real meaning of the truth in advertis- ing is to do in my way and I submit for your approval and consideration the following facts:
 In conducting my great money raising sale, I learned a great many things and it is of just as much interest to the public to know it's results and what the truth in advertising really can do. In my various other statements. I made known the fact that I needed the cash for my legitimate obligations I told the absolute truth and there is no reflection and that I have to sacrifice my merchandise and put out such prices that would receive a hearty response. a sane inducement for you to buy. Results manifested themselves in tremendous returns and the wonderful success of this big sale.
 To get back 10 the subject in hand regarding the truth in adver-
 
 you of my sincerity. l make known the fact that during the few weeks so far of this sale. or from its be- ginning up until May 4th, we have sold 31I dozen straw hats. This means that We have disposed of 3S1 hats from the time we adver- tised one dollar off as an induce ment for our customers to come in and buy. This is not a mere bold statement on our part. but to show you that we are backing it up. we had our MT. Blumenthal as sisted by our NIT. Moore. go over our entire stock very carefully to make sure that the statement which we are publishing in another part of this issue sworn to by me, was absolutely the truth. In this statement. you will read that l have gone before a notary public and sworn to this fact, as l be- IieVe it the only way in which the public can be absolutely suaran- teed regarding the real meaning of the truth in advertising.
 I am more convinced than ever that the volume of business Is the proper merchandising plan for 1921. My motto is to sell more goods and make a smaller profit on each sale. as this has been demouStrat ed 10 me during this big cash raising sale which Is sjil going on.

In Conclusion
CHAPTER XI

THE GOOD CITIZEN has seen from the l foregoing statements that a public
 utility's well being is essential to the public welfare He realizes that without the support of the people-without his in- dividual moral support this essential in- dustry cannot properly function.
 TT IS the careless word spoken by The l Man In The Street, the destructive criti- cism that unthinkingly slips out "To Make Conversation at the tea table or else where, that injures not only the public service companies but also the city as a whole.
 yA7HEN a public utility is exerting it's w every effort to build up it's community, giving good service, operating efficiently under rates much lower than those current in the country as whole, the Good Citizen will endeavor to constructively assist it in meeting the difficulties that confront that industry from time to time.

Honorable Board of Pardons.
| Gentlemen:
We the undersigned citizens of La
fayette County hereby, respectfully
petition you to pardon Gus" Ger
stle) Brown, now confined in the State
Penitentiary on charge Of murder.
He was convicted at the March Term
of Circuit Court of Lafayette COun-
ty, Mississippi, and for reasons why
he should be pardoned, we assign the
following:
First, this was his first offense, for
all of his life, he had been a law
abiding citizen and commanded the
respect of both white and black. His
father being an old time Southern
negro, now almost eighty years Of
age and one of our very best negro
citizens.
Second. the defendant always claim
ed that he acted in his own necessary
self defense, and this, after the de-
ceased had threatened his life great
many times.
Third, great many citizens after
investigating the matter, are of the
opinion that the defendant should not
have been convicted at all, and that
he has been sufficiently punished,
even if guilty.
Fourth, we believe he will make a
law-abiding citizen if pardoned, and
we are advised that ne has made a
model prisoner and this is shown by
his being trusty from the first; and
for other and good reasons to be
shown on the hearing.
Respectfully submitted:
GUS BROWN AND OTHERS.

Saving EUROPE"

An English nobleman voices the
opinion that it is up to England to
save Europe"
Encouraging words. We hope ch@y
develop into something more than
noise.
For long time now it has been the
custom for foreign statesmen to dwell
eloquently and tearfully upon the
sacred duty of America, that of re-
facilitating broken down countries on
the other side of the Atlantic.
They have PREACHED this doctrine
in season and out, have fed it to US
in driblets and by the wholesale, and
have even resorted to thinly yelled
threats of appalling disasters~to occur
if we don't "come across"
The idea of perpetual meal ticket
from America was too good for them
to let go. Apparently it was absorb
ingly fascinating that no one even
thought of going to work again, as we
did over here.
But we fear they will eventually
have to go out and grub for them
selves. 1t may be a new experience for
some of them, but grubbring make
red blood and stimulate brain power.
1t also help to fill empty stomachs.
Still, if England feel it her duty to
"save Europe" she has our gracious
permission.
We might even say"amen, go to it,

PESSIMISTIC. BUT TRUE.

Peace is beautiful thing, but before
we spend too much time in dreaming
of the peace of the world we should
take practical steps to restore peace
at home.
There is a deadly war on right here
in Americana war to the finish. 1t
is a war between the criminal element
and responsibility.
Murderers, bank robbers, mail loot
ers, hold up men and cheap thug are
becoming too numerous. Thier depre-
dation are Of daily and nightly occur
renee in the big cities. The criminal
is becoming so bold and so powerful
and insolent as to constitute distinct
menace to the future of the law and
order and decency in this country.
Probably the most alarming phase
of the whole unsavory mess is the
facility with which these gangsters
escape punishment. 1t is easier
for a murderer or holdup
man to manufacture
fictitious abb than it is for a decent
man to kick the cat And there is al
ways some lawyer crook ready and
anxious to aid him in perjuring his
neck out of tl,e nooze.
1t is getting to the point where
country towns and rural communities
are vitality interested in the suppress
ion of this devils horde
Even the most stagnant of water
viii eventually find its level, and as
the cities become overcrowded with
criminals it is inevitable that many Of
them will branch out into the smaller
communities in search of fresh prey.
The outlook is not conducive to that
sound and refreshing sleep which
country people enjoy.
