"You can't sell Maine in a better
way than over the radio" was the
declaration of Maurice +. Tobias,
the speaker at the joint luncheon
OF the Augusta I<iwanis Club and
the Augusta Chamber of Commerce,
which was held at the Augusta Girls
Community Club Thursday noon.
Mr.. Tobias, who IS a representative
of the Bureau of Business Standards
of the Shaw Publications of Chicago
is thoroughly conVersant with con-
ditions in the New England states
and took rs his subject Wake Up
New England"
He went on to say that today
there are over 100000 radio re-
ceiving sets in the country and that
every night when the State of Maine
broadcasting station gets under way
it will reach 100000 listeners. Mr..
Tobias said that the State of Maine
and the New England states are
known to other parts Of the coun-
try because of Paul Revere's- ride
and for other patriotic happenings.
but that little is known of it's indus
trial standing. 1t Is necessary for
New England to blow its own horn
and when the State of Maine begins
to furnish the impulse that will
bring loud speakers to life over the
entire United States, then indeed
will this state truly begin to adver-
tise.
The speaker took occasion to ex-
press in no uncertain terms his ao-
horence of those calamity MOWERS
who are always asking how Is busl-
ness" and complaining of conditions.
He said that the various industries
of the United States are doing more
business than ever before and cited
the cases of automobiles. tobacco,
candy and others. He attributed the
failure of a large number of busi-
ness concerns to poor management
and to attempts at too rapid eXpan-
sion.
He told Of Bostonian who stated
that once year for custom, they LED
a COW over the paths of Boston Com
mon. To this he had replied that
when you live with your ancestors
you should be planted with them.
and he felt that this saying should
be true Of business, that progressive
ness should be the motto OF business
rather than conservatism. In thls
regard he pointed out that many
Maine men who are noted for their
conservatism while residing In the
state, later move to California.
Florida or some of the growing
states and change their tactics en-
tirely, making a name for themseVe
in a. business way such as they nev-
er had back home.
In concluding he urged more and
closer cooperation between the mer-
chants of the city in order that the
knowledge of one might help anoth-
er over a rough place.
The large hall at the Girls Club
was we'll filled by the local business
men and the club members, as there
we're about 80 present to enjoy the
delicious luncheon and to hear Mr.
Tobias. Among those present were
Gov. Ralph o. Brewster, Councillor
Albert ]. Stearns and Senator Henry
l.. Cram.

Deep grippy colds have been IN

The situation is fairly general

ually accompanied by a headache,
burning eyeballs and aching scalp
and frequently by gastric and intes-

coughs. nausea, diarrhea, etc.
Colds are too often neglected un-
til they have lowered the vitality
sufficiently to permit the lurking
germs, which cause pneumonia,
bronchitis and influenza to attack the
body.
Don't Take Chances
The only safe plan is to attack
