WHAT PUBLICITY DOES
Advertising In 1912 Brought Citizen
Who Has Invested Half Million Here

= Forty members Of the grocers' and
butchers division of the Retail Mer-
chants Association met at the Next
can Original restaurant Monday night
and organized eight committees to So
icit subscriptions from all retail gro
GERS and butchers in San Antonio to
the $4,000 winter advertising fund
that is now being raised by the Great
er San Antonio publicity committee.
The city has been divided into eight
districts, and one committee has been
assigned the task of ealing on ali
members in each district. The actual
work of seeing the prospects started
Tuesday morning and will be COM
pleted before Wednesday night.
The meeting Monday night was adj
dressed by j. B. Darlington. who told
of the campaign to raise $4,000 in
1912. One of the tourists who came
as the result of that campaign was
Harry Rogers, who has invested over
half million dollars in Can Antonio,
he said.
II. o. Huff also made a talk in
which he discussed the necessity of
acting together. The time will soon
come when the entire Southwest will
join in conducting an advertising cam
paign of the wonderful undeveloped
resources of this section, he said. Less
than 10 per cent of San Antonio's
trade territory is developed at the
present time.
The committees as organized in.
clude four members of the association
each with one worker who has been
helping in the campaign. Only 81 out
Of approximately 800 firms represent
ed by the grocers and butchers have
subscribed to the fund up TO the pres
ent time for the reason that they have
not yet been called upon.
A subscription of $1,000 was re-
ceiyed Monday afternoon and swclls
the total to about $4,000. Other
large subscriptions are expected to be
received before the week ends. Pros
poets for reaching the goal set before
Saturday are very good, according to
Mr.. Huff.

DAVIS THANKS GOD"
FOR AMERICA AFTER
JOURNEY TO EUROPE
Selectiue immigration Only
Solution to Problem,
Secretary Says.

Bisbee. Ariz., Oct. 1O.-America Is
the greatest, most powerful and rich
est nation in the world, and radicals
who come her to preach the gospel Of
hatred and tell of greater governments
should be seized by the nape of the
neck and thrown aboard the next ship
that sails for the nations of which
they speak in such glowing terms,
Secretary of Labor Davis told an audi
ence her last night,
Touching upon the immigration
quetion, Secretary Davis said:
I'VE should have selective immigra-
fion or none at all.
"The foreign nations, after their
penitentiaries are filled, give their I'M
desirables passports and send them
over to us.
Registration of aliens is the only
way to eliminate the radical and UNI
desirable foreigner, for there are said
to be as many come into this country
Illegally as through the proper chan
nels," he continued.
1--WE should register them and teach
both the child and his parents the true
spirit of America"
Secretary Davis said that he got
down on his knees and thanked God"
for conditions in America when he re-
turned from a visit TO Europe.

SOLUTION TO PROBLEM
Currency Initiation Proposed as Means
Of Reviving Britain's Sakging Trade.

London, Oct. 10.-Currency infla.
ton as a means of reviving Great
Britain's sagging trade and of reduc-
Ing unemployment now is being wide
ly discussed.
One proposal involving the sum of
S100,000,000 was said by Minister of
Labor Barlow in a speech yesterday,
to have been put forward ty a prom
inent banker.
Mr.. Barlow said that ru, b a scheme
is worth consideration but that neither
himself nor the government is respon-
sible for it.
A number of plans, he added, have
been considered and developments are
in sight"
The minister expressed hope that
either Prime Minister Baldwin or him
self would soon be able to make an
announcement on the subject.

THE OIL INDUSTRY

Congress and the state legislatures
are still busy investigating and trying
to regulate the oil industry, which
involves more capital and empiyes
more labor than steel and iron.
The American Petroleum Institute
estimated from reports received from
the leading oil producing centers OF
the United States that the daily aver
age gross crude oil production i'll the
United States for the week ended
February 10, 1928, was 100000 bar
relg over same week in 1922.
Capital is going into storage facili-
tics on a large scale. One of the five
largest producing oil companies on
the coast is building reservoirs cost
ing 100000 each. Its present ca
pacity for storage is 6, 100000 bar
rels.
According to statistics compiled
from authoritive solrces, the grand
total of production of oil from all Of
the fields in California since the be-
ginning of the industry is estimated
at l sos, ,599,039 barrels.
Oil operations arc so large and the
business so world wide tht it seems
ridiculous for politicians to assume
that their expensive and wasteful
methods could deal with the industry.

NATIONAL PROSPERITY

Western states are affected by the
prosperity Of the eastern and Miss
issippi valley states as we'll as by
trade and financial conditions in Eu-
rope. The mid-western states are
sharing in the continued improve
ment in business conditions evidenced
throughout the entire country. Cold
weather and storm blockades have
hampered operations in some Sec
tions, but, as compared with year
ago, merchandise lines, as we'll as
steel and the metals, reflect broad
er buying power and genuine recov-
cry in trade. The country has been
much cheered by the announcement
of an approved plan for the settle
ment of Great Britain's debt to the
United States government; it repre-
sents the most important move yet
made in the direction Of clearing up
wartime obligations. Following
actions by congress, sterling quickly
advanced to the highest level touched
since the New York agents OF the
British government suspended the
purchase Of sterling bills on March
10, 1919. The increased strength of
sterling exchange has had favor
able effect upon sentiment. and, If
continued, may contribute in an i'm
poCtant manner toward increasing
our foreign trade.

TAX FREE SECURITIES

AND FARMERS
Tax free securities are better in
vestment than first mortgage loans
on farms. They force the farmers to
pay higher rates of interest.
According to the hearings before
the Congressional Ways and Means
Committee, there are about $8,000,-
100000, of farm mortgages out in the
| United States. According to these
hearings only about per cent of that
amount was obtained through Gov
ernment agency or the rural credit
land banks.
Those who are sincerely solicitous
for the farmers think we'll of this-9 5
/ per cent of the loans outstanding,
owed by the farmers is money belong
ing to private individuals. Five PEI
cen. tax-free securities will net the in
vestor more than a Z or per cent
farm mortgage What is the re-
suit?
The farmers are finding it difficult
to borrow money, and when their
loans mature-and they are matur-
! ing all the time-if they can not fl
nance renewal, it means sales OF
! homes and farms on the sheriff s
block
A witness testified before the Ser.
ate committee that few years ago
there was a gentleman that had ST.
100000 invested in farm mortgages.
Now he has 95 per cent of that ST.
100000 withdrawn from the farm
mortgages and has invested it in tax
free securities.
j A farm loan firm that for years
has done an extensive business in first
; mortgages on land reports that a few
days ago the estate of Marshall Field
ceased buying any more farm mort
cages. The trustee of the estate
. said, No; we will not take any more
. mortgages; we are collecting those
. we own as fast as we can and invest
ing the money in tax-free securities

ELECrR1F1cAr1oN OF FARs-

Necessity overcomes every IN
pediment. Electrification Of the farm
Is necessity. II Transmission Z:
power is too expensive, it is probable
that power will be generated in 10.
calities. The latter plan is feasible.
Electrical development on the farm
is expected to be a potent factor il
making attractive rural life. Hevel-
opment of electrical machinery is e,1-
pected to be of special value in VIC
of the shortage of farm labor, and the
usebf labor-saving devices in rural
