ADVERTISING FILM SHOWN
AT ROTARY CLUB DINNER
''The Way To Success" Title OF
Motion Picture Romance Last
Monday Evening

C. M. Freeman, w. F. Allen, David
Dallas, Harry Todd and Lee Engler,
of the Salisbury Rotary Club; A. w.
Burton, of Onley; Harlan Robertson,
j. w. Singleton, Clayton J. Davis, of
Pocomoke City; and County Agent
Oswald, were all visitors at the Ro-
tary weekly luncheon last Monday
evening.
The visitors added much life and
zest to the meeting, all made neat
speeches, and all enjoyed the splen-
did meal set by the ladies Of the
Presbyterian Church.
The feature of the evening was a
two-reel motion picture, shown by
County Agent Oswald, the title of
which was "The way to Success"
The point of the picture emphasiz-
ed the great value of advertising
Specialties" as advertising media.
In the two thousand feet of ro-
nance, the scenario writer selected a
Shoe Manufacturer, and we'll known
actors who were playing in Chicago
were engaged for the leads in the
Film.
The senior partner in the firm was
welded to old methods; the junior,
seeing a slump in the business, de-
sired change to newer. Not until
sickness called the cold man" away
did the son have his chance. He
plunged into advertising Methods" !"
and when "Dad" came back presented
such a good case, the cold man" was
converted.
There was a love thread running
through the plot, which involved the
"junior," who saw his hope of we'd
ding bliss fast fading in declining
trade; but advertising Specialties," !"
made everything look lovely.
The Advertising Speciality Asso-
citation exists for the purpose of put
ting attractive designs in the hands
of the commercial world to boost
business. These consist of thousands
Of devices in the shape of household,
office, and many other sorts of trink
cts. Fans, paper knives, weights,
calendars, buttons, and hundreds of
others to catch the public eye are
manufactured, the main point being
to purchase good will-to make a
friend, the sentiment taught is that
every time you make friend, you
grow a little"
The picture was spendidly executed
by County Agent, Oswald, and thor
oughly enjoyed. Doubtless it gave
many an idea that will sink deep and
possibly result in greatly increased
volume of business in their particular
li..c.

BLAINE TO BACK
2-CENT TAX
Revenue viii Be Distributed
Among All Highways
In the State.

Wisconsin automobiles will be the
center of a number of legislative bat
ties promised in the legislature this
spring.
In this connection Gov. John j.
Blaine has announced that he will
back a gasoline tax bill providing a
tax of two cents a gallon with the
proceeds to be distributed equally to
all the highways in the state. The
gas tax bill that Gov. Blaine vetoed
in the last session provided for dis
tribution of proceeds to certain roads
only. The legislature is expected to
be almost unanimous for gasoline
tax bill but fight is promised on the
question of distribution.
At the last session the legislature
passed the weight tax on automobiles,
making owners pay a license fee
graduated according to the weight of
their machines. The result has been
much more labor for the automobile
division of the secretary of states Of
flee and a great increase of employees.
Practically every legislator inter
ested in automobile legislation has
expressed himself in favor of the gas
oline tax but the new weight tax has
found disfavor in many quarters.
Assemblyman Robert Caldwell,
Lodi declared on Tuesday that he will
back a bill in the coming session to
repeal the weight tax law claiming
that it has proven unsatisfactory. He
will back a gasoline tax in place of
the weight tax on the grounds that
it more equally distributes the high
WaV cost to fhe users of the high
ways.
Two proposed changes are being
contemplated by legislators. One
would be to pass two cent gasoline
tax and leave the weight license tax
as it is. Another group will ask the
repeal of the weight tax and raise the
see on a gasoline tax to bear the diff
ference between the proceeds of the
present license law and the old fiat
rate of $40 year for all cars.

RED. IRRITATING COLOR

DR.. Vol, professional on hygiene
says that we should use yellow more
in our homes, as that color is most
restful and with touch of red, gives
warmth, and actually saves coal bills.
Blue, on the contrary, is a cold color
and no matter what the temperature,
one feels cool in blue atmosphere.
Red, of all colors is most irritating.
