RAIL MOVE FOLLOWS

Completion Of Structure in Savannah

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 22.--News con-
tanned in press dispatches from Nor
folk, Va, to the effect that the OPP
Grating headquarters of the Seaboard
Air Line are to be moved immediate
ly to Savannah has been received in
local railway circles with gratifica-
ton. This step is taken as an indi-
cation of the growth of the far south
and it's increasing Importance in
transportation circles.
The announcement that the new
offices are to be located in the three
top floors of the Realty building in
Savannah, a recentl ycompleted Of
flee structure, is pointed to by realty
men as a fortunate instance of pre-
paredness. 1t is probable that this
available space which met the re-
quirements of therailroad was one of
the deciding factors in the move.
eff the Realty building had not
recently been completed, affording
available space for a large lease of
this character, it is probable that the
removal would not have been made
at this time, at least to the city of
Savannah" stated H. L. Morris,
treasurer of G. L. Miller and COM
pany, southern mortgage bond house
which financed the structure. "The
expansion of business in Savannah,
in which large outside corporations
are opening offices in the city, led
to the financing Of this structure
which now Is playing q promineni
part in securing for the city one OF
the most valuable business assets that
has recently come to it,
The move entails the presence in

ident and staff of several hundred

WEATHER FOLK LOOK
FOR SEVERE WINTER
But 1t Seems That They Have Missed
Their Guess as to "Summerless
Year"-Latest Predictions.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 22.-The prog.
nosticators who during the recently
cold spring asserted that we were in
for "summerless years. have been
conclusively proved to have missed
their guess, it was pointed out here
today by weather propehts. And now
comes predictions of an exceedingly
severe winter, and
Although the average citizen be-
lieve that the present year has been
thoroughly abnormal and freaky in
respect to the weather, weather bu-
reau authorities here maintain that
there is nothing particularly queer
about it, except possibly in the mat
ter of the long drought. There has
been some unusually hot weather re-
Gently, it's true, but authorities here
do not regard these heat waves as
particularly abnormal for the season
at which they arrived.
What the weather bureau hopes
may prove clew to some further
light on weather conditions and their
causes, was contained recently in re-
ports from MacMillan's Arctic expe-
dition. Macmillan found an unusual
ly "cold summer" in the Arctics, and
this was the primary reason for call
ing off the expedition for the remain
der of this year.
Up the coast Labrador, Macmillan
found more ice than had been pres
ent in that season in the memory Of
the Oldest sealing shippers. While
the mercury was rising to heights in
this section that broks the records
for many years, abnormally low tenn
peratures were obtained over the
Arctics, and inroads of the United
States of sub-normal temperatures in
the latter part of June, are supposed
to have been reflection Of the un-
usually cold weather in the far north.
If this unusual cold of the Arctics
does actually follow the sun south
ward during the next few weeks, il
may be that fears of a very severe
winter in this section may be realiz.
ed. However, it is perhaps too early
yet to be apprehensive.
If the weather over the United
States thus far this year has really
been averaging about normal, as the
weather bureau maintains, it wa:
pointed out here, that is good reason
to hope that there may continue
something like normal temperature:
for the next few months, at any
rate.

Bible Stresses Advertising
Basing his argument on the value
of advertising on admonitions found
in the Bible, Mr.. Williams delivered
semi-humorous address, which COM
pletely captivated his audience.
He compared the duck and the
chicken-declaring that although the
duck and hen both produce eggs, the
duck hides her Eight under a busheP'
while the hen proclaims her achieve
ments to the world.
Everything that nature wishes to
sell Is advertised in a most alluring
manner" Mr.. Williams declared.
Caesar and other great figures of
history were great advertisers and
Napoleon can almost be seen going
around with a corps of press agents.
Heart of Business
advertising is the heartbeat of
business. If you stop the heart, you
paralyze business-it dies.
American business supremacy is
the result of the righ tkind of adver-
tising. Every business and even pro-
fessions use advertising in some form.
The Target and most successful busi-
nesses are we'll advertised. The world
runs on it. If you would sell your
self to the world, you must let the
world know what you can do and
what you have got that it needs.

of business failures are due to non
Intelligence in advertis-
ing has become essential and large
firms employ experts to direct their
activities along this line"
