Houston Times Post.
The merchant who is on the Job is
the one who advertlises and the adj
vertiser who brings home the bacon
is the one who uses the columns OF
his local newspaper. He must tell
the people about his business-tell of
the advantages of trading in the
town where his business is located
and why it is to their interest to buy
of him. When he advertises any
thing he must come through liz full
measure with what he says if be
doesn't, he falls short of the mark.
The country newspaper is the best
medium for local advertising.

Money Works In Many Places.

Carthage Carthagenian
We noticed a few day ago where a
merchant in Georgia gave a fve-dol-
lar check 10 payment for produce.
That night when the merchant count
ed his cash he found the check with
five endorsements on it. In one day
this check satisfied six different men
and at night was in the hands of the
man who originally gave it. No one
was hurt but all were benefited. If
this policy is adopted throughout the
country, a bad situation can be I'M
mediately relieved. Cooperate. 1t
means the salvation OF all,

Brother Faux of the Greene Coun-
ty Herald, served notice on his SUBJ
scribers last week that the Herald
would be suspended during the next
few weeks IN order for the editor to
attend the National Press Associa-

newspaper men that does not worry
little troubles and evidently has

HaOglHgs Needed TO Deter Crimes.

Bay Springs News.
Crime is on the increase in this
country and human life seems to be
about the cheapest thing. The diiy
papers are filed with horrible crimes
and unless something is done to les
sen crime this country will be
doomed. The News believes that if
there were about 100 per cent o
hangings and but few pardons, the
crimes would decrease. If q mar
has money and a few influential
friends no matter what crime he may
commit, he seldom has to pay the
death penalty. If he is sentenced to
life in the ~penitentiary, before he get
acquainted with the surroundings,
there is a petition for his pardon and
if he has some influential politician
who is a special friend of the COVER
nor. he will very likely get the par
don. 1T is too easy to get out of the
penitentiary. If our criminal class
believed that it would be impossible
to secure a pardon or that death
would be the penalty VIC would see
crime decreasing very rapidly.

This was the preface to an in

Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and

ment bureaus for this purpose" she
said. Special training In how best
to get hold of unemployed men and
women, who, while jobless, still have
pride and self-respect, is given to
our workers. The value of this
training has often been demonetrat-
ed.
To-day, the Salvation Army can
SHOW by countless examples that
through obtaining employment for
b jobless, and in reaching ont
the kindly helping hand to the un-
fortunate, lives have been
ed, and good substantial citizens
made of those who were tempo
rarily shipwrecked on life's sea-"
Right at this time, the value
of this work cannot be underestf.
mated" she declared. with depres,
sion in business in many parts of
the country, unemployment on a
large scale exists In certain fields.
This condition can easily become a
dangerous one, because 1t is In this
way that Bolsheyism, anarchy and
crime waves their origin.
This is where the wora of the
Salvation Army comes in, Trained
workers, men and women who
through long experience and care
full preparation for their work. know
the slums and the people of the un-
defworld, have evolved a system OF
handling these things that is scien-
t~ifically accurate and mathematicaf1y
correct. The Salvation Army knows
how to deal with all the ills that
come from unemployment.
Extension of this work to include
all communities is contemplated
through the Community Advisory
Board idea, and this idea is being
advanced all over the division in
the appeal for the Home Service
Program for 1921"
Through the Community Advisory
Board, Yhich is the objective of the
1921 Home Service program appeal,
it will be possible to discover and
report to the Salvation Army from
each community such cases as are de-
termined impossible of solution by
OF binary methods, and to discover and
report to the Salvation Army emerg-
ency cases requiring removal to homes
and institutions other than locally
provided.
THE fundamental principle is serv-
ice of the highest order. This is the
spirit that has actuated the Salvation
Army since its formation and that
makes 1t seek fuller cooperation in
order to achieve more glorious re.

$1,000 spectators and 1000 others who
just want to be near the scene Of the
scrap. Both Mayor Hague and Com
missioner Bentley are anxious TO show

Of satisfactorily handling an enormous
crowd, and for this reason they have
been giving the proposition unusually
careful attention.

~ founder and head of the Inter-
national Reform Bureau. forwarded
from Cincinnati to-day a petition to
Secretary of State Hughes request

ground that the fight is national

THE Supreme Court Of the United
States held that neither Louisiana
nor any other State could legalize
lottery to the detriment of the citl-
zenship. Therefore no State has the
power to legallze so brutal spec
tacle as a prize fight. No State has

wrestling Problem.

Harry r. Newcomb. chairman athletic
committee Brooklyn Branch. American
Legion, recently addressed the following
communication to Jack Curley
AT a meeting of the Kings County
Branch of the American Legion. held in
Brooklyn on June s. ] was authorized,
as chairman of the athletic committee. to
investigate the challenge of Marin PIE
stina to w'restle Stanislaus Zbyszko for
the championship. Plestina to give his
share of the receipts to the Brooklyn
American Legion.
II have made some inquiries since
then and have been unable to learn any
reason why Plestna should not be given
O chance to win the championship. He
seems 10 be qualified by skill to warrant
consideration by the title holder and Is
prepared to post the necessary forfeit.
The thing however. that actuates the
Legion in this matter Is the principle OF
fair play which is involved. We think
that the title OF champion OF America
should not be held In any restricted way !:
that any properly qualified person should
be given his opportunity to win II. The
spirit OF sportsma anship and Americanism
demands that Plestina be given his op-
portunity.
This is a matter of sharp concern
Brooklyn but we think will be a matter
of concern to members of the Legion all
over the United States.
"T'he American Legion of Brooklyn is
prepared to cooperate with you in what
ever steps may be necessary TO arrange
a match for the title between Plestina
and Zbyszko. ! have taken the liberty
Of sending copies OF this letter to the
newspapers"
Mr.. Ncwcome is informed that the new
state Athletic Commission. william Null
doom. chairman. now has complete con-
troll OF wrestling. superseding Mr.. Curley,
who has managed the sport with great
success for many years.
II would. therefore. be advisable for
the A~re-icar Legion TO get into touch
with Chairman Muldoon at 291 Broad
way. with the object of obtaining a
wrestling license for Plestina. Then he
could issue a challenge to Zbyszko, and
II the match is approved by Chairman
Muldoon. who once was wrestling
champion, It will no doubt take place.
