The South Should
Learn to Advertise

(Newport News Times-Herald)
The South must learn to adj
vertise if it's products are to
take their rightful place in COM
merce in the opinion of George
Garner, associate editor of the
Manufacturers Record and a
speaker at the Institute of Pub
lie Affairs being held at the
University of Virginia.
"As long as the south contin-
ues to look upon advertising as
an expense rather than an in
vestment, advertised products
of other sections of the country
will compete with southern mar
kets on more than even terms"
Mr.. Garner declared.
Virginia, he added, is behind
hand in advertising it's ap-
pies and in calling to the atten-
tion of the remainder of the
country it's natural advantages,
its historic shrines, its climate
and the other factors which
combine to make it one of the
garden spots of the world.
Like most other southern
states, Virginia looks upon ad-
vertising as an expense. Until
advertising is seen as an in
vestment and not as an expense
southern products will not be
able to compete with those from
sections which believe in and
practice advertising.
Again and again we have
voiced this view, and now take
,ieasurl in once more noting
hat the Virginia State Cham
Der of Commerce is functioning
where other bodies failed. The
work done by the State Cham
Der during the past few years
IS worth many times the money
which it cost, and we trust
hat it not only will be contin-
ded but will be expanded from
year to year.

And the end of your made

That no man will pay what he

When you see good" church

Yet stoutly refusing to go down,
And bring up the cash from

When your poor preacher daddy

That's the time when you're
actually forced to doubt
Peoples religion: the kind and

The Rescue From
Bulls Hole

One day we received a letter
from the General Superintend-
ent of one of these clients. The
Helvey Coal Il Coke Co. The
letter was as follows:
Helvey, KY, Aug. %, 49,
Morris. & Clark, Attys. at Law,
4ovington, Ky.
Gentlemen:
AS you already know the Of
fees OF the Helvey Coal &
Coke Co. are at Helvey, KY, a
mining town near the foot of
the Cumberland mountains.
The mineral holdings of the
company extends from Ken
lucky across the into the state
of Virginia.
Recently the company started
to make an opening and put in
tipple on the Virginia side.
But the first thing we did was
to clash with the landowners
on that side---a bad bunch of
men. who took arms against
our workmen and forced them
back to Kentucky, back across
the Cumberland mountains.
The country is sure rough a.
ross the mountain; the land is
rugged and the people are
tough mostly moonshiners.
These contestants claim that
our patent does not extend
down on the side of Cumberland
mountain as our engineers ran
the line. They claim there is an
old marked line far inside of the
patent line. So, we have had our
engineers run this old marked
line, also. There is going to be a
big suit, and so | desire both of
you to come to Helvey at once
and take all the dispositions in
the case. 1t will also be neces-
sary to you to take the maps
and go over both lines in the
mountains.
realize this will be hazard
Gus undertaking, but | have Sc
cured the services of old Sam
Hartley, a pioneer backswoods-
man and hunter, for your guide.
He knows every inch of the
Cumberlands, and also knows
how to deal with the natives,
should a clash occur.
| have everything possible ar
ranged for your comfort and
convenience during your stay
| in our little town.
Trusting to receive your wire
that you will arrive tomorrow
afternoon, | remain,
Very truly yours,
J. M. Mcconnell,
Gen. Supt. Helvey Coal & Coke
Co.

eyes, sir, Herb, | figure that

Oh thought transference may

laughed my law partner, Bill
Morris, as we had just COM
pleted our successful expert
-ment number 142.
Eyes, Bill" | replied. am
glad that we decided five years
ago, on discovering we had the
power of telepathy, to keep a
record of our experiments"
We had now recorded the one
hundred forty-second success
full experiment. had come in
to the office that day with an in
quiry on my mind and Bill had
anticipated it, and had given me
the desired information even
before | had uttered one word.
Bill Morris and | had been
law partners for ten years, and,
by long association together on
cases, we had dicovered we
could help one another and
greatly facilitate the dispatch
of the office routine by reading
and anticipating one another's
thoughts.
So, for the past five years we
had practiced thought trans
ference, both as an aid to bus
mess, and as useful diversion.
It was largely through the
use of telepathy that we had
built the law firm of Morris &
Clark into one of the most wide
ly known in the country. How
many times we had used tele-
pathy to help us to success be-
sides the 142 experiments re-
corded, | am unable to say.
Now, our firm was sWamped
with work, and we had been
able in the past five years to
pick us a number of select eli
ents, for we catered to a client
ele OF large coal and railway
corporations.
Herb" if either of us should
ever fall into trouble and sore
ly need the others help, I firm
ly believe we could get in COM
munication by means Of tele-
pathy," declared Bill.
Indeed, | believe it, Bill.
Let's resolve if one ever needs
the others help in any case of
extreme danger to try this with
all our might, and let's form a
solemn covenant that if one of
us should ever have a bunch
that the other is in need of help,
to go with the greatest possible
speed"
We had specialized in corpor-
alton law, and on the doors of
our offices were the names of a
dozen or more coal companies,
our clients who paid us retainer
fees. We had never handled any
cases for some of them.
