State Takes Famous Home
AS The Old Order Passes

New Orleans, La, Feb. ga
relic of the days when the Old
South was at the heighth of its
prosperity is about to be swallow
ed up in the march of progress
down the Mississippi Valley.
The historical old Ackland plan
tation near here-one of the larg-
est estates OF the Old SOuth-has
been acquired by the State of
Louisiana and will be broken up
for use in connection with the
state convict farm system.
The plantations are part of
an immense estate acquired by the
Ackland family during the early
part Of the nineteenth century
The estate of this aristocratic
old Southern family extended fol
miles up and down the Mississip-
pi and took in thousands OF acres
where bustling towns now stand.
The lands surround the Lake
of the Cross" where, legend has
it, the explorer La Sale and his
priests first planted their ban
ners and claimed louisiana for
Ellis gracious Majesty, the King
of France" They were owned by
Colonel ]. A. Ackland, whose
name was known the length of
the Mississippi as a symbol of
openhearted hospitality,
With the acquisition of the
plantation by Louisiana, the last
piece of property has passed from
the hands Of one. of the wealthiest
land owners in North America.
in addition to the Louisiana plan
tations, the Acklands owned ex-
tensive properties in other parts
of the South, including a huge
ranch near Matagorda Bay, Tex
as, and an immense stock farm
near Gallatin, Mo.
In 1856 Colonel Ackland, be-
coming dissatisfied with his home
in Louisiana, determined to build
for his family n mansion that
should be the most palatial resid-
ence in America. A few miles
outside of Nashville, Tennessee,
on n site of great natural beauty
ne gathered the finest artisans of
the world. to plan his mansion.
For over a year they laoored and
finally completed the home which
he named Belmont" To furnish
the house he secured the old
world and brought to America
many art treasures.
The fame of the magnificent
dwelling spread even to Europe.
Many travellers went out of their
way to visit the mansion. It's

THEY ALL ADVERTISED

Occasionally man is found who thinks that he
can build up big commercial success WITHOUT AID
IVERrISING. But usually he wakes up, sooner or
later to the fact that it just can't be done There is
nothing more certain in the business world than that
iudicious publicity is essential to success. .-f
This has been so clearly demonstrated time and
time aga that it is hardly necessary to refer to the
subject. The world war is striking illustration OF
the value of publicity. Does any man believe the
great Liberty Loan drives would have been successful
had it not been for the advertising carried in the
DAILY NEWSPAPERS. No man will contradict the
assertion that advertising was the big factor in sell
inc liberty bonds and in fact contributed more to the
success of the war than cny other one thing.
Under the caption THERE AMT no SUCH
ANIMAL" the Chicago DAILY NEWS had the fol-
lowing in a recent issue of Printers Ink:
"Name ten merchant princes who never advcrtis-
cd. NO Name nine, then Six? Two? One? Why what
is the meaning Of this? Your knowledge OF history
and current affairs is comprehensive; your memory
is excellent why, then, can't you name the great
leaders of commerce who built up their enterprises
without advertising?
Simply because There amt no such animal.
Great commercial success since the dawn OF history
or another And as the means Of advertising i'm
proved, the number and extent OF business enter
prises increased CORRESPONDENCE. Cause and effect
"The big successes are the big advertisers-and
they are not big advertisers because they are big sue
cesses but bic successes because they are big adver
Itisers.
'"They know not only what to advertise, out how
and when They are adept in the choice of mediums
They take no chances. Where they lead the later
conner may safely follow"
Consider for a moment:
"THE BIG SUCCESSES ARE NOT BIG AL
VERTISERS BECAUSE THEY ARE BIG Sue
ICESSES BUT BIG SUCCE SSES BECAUSE THEY
ARE BIG ADVERTISERS"
Occasionally you find a who inagines that
his business is TOO SMALL for him to advertise per-
isistently and freely.
'GThat's all right" he says, "for the man who has
been in business long time and who has big volume
Iof trade but can't afford it.
Who are the big, successful business men in your
own town? Do they advertise? Yes, persstently and
Ijudciously Advertising pays Nothing is truer shan
that.

SOUNDS ALARM OF WOODS
FIRES IN MARYLAND
State Lacks Sufficient Force,
Says Assistant Forester

Most oak trees in a Maryland for
est cannot grow to maturity because
Maryland today is fighting forest fires
on an annual appropriation of one
half cent an acre.
This was the statement of J. A.
Cope, Assistant Forester, in discuss
ing the rapid destruction of forests
in the State and steps thai must be
taken to preserve Maryland forests
Every 81 years, Mr.. Cope said, the
entire forest area of Maryland is de-
stroyed by fire. An oak forest, re-
curing rs years to reach maturity,
odoes not have an opportunity to at
tain its full growth.
approximately $4,000 is now spent
in preserving the States forests of
two and a quarter million acres The
State has only 200 forest wardens, an
average of more than 1900 acres
to each man. None of these wardens
is a full-time man. The State las no

Forty thousand dollars, or an al
lOtment Of 2 1-2 cents an acre, IS
needed to insure preservation Of the
States forest land, Mr.. Cope seid,
and until this appropriation is rna3e
the State Forestry Department must
continue to mark tina. Northern
States, he asserted, are spending
huge sums in throwing protection
around their forests.
Reports made to the forestry Office
show that there have been 50 forest
fires, destroying 1900 acres OF forest
