letter followed saying she was very
i'll and would try to come as soon as
she was able. The meeting was post
poned for a later date. Rev. Gordon
tried to tell the members perhaps
"our disappointment" was This ap-
pointment." He didn't believe the
members were ready for a revival
and hoped they would prepare for a
revival while this sister is recover
ing.

upset BY a judicial decision. attor-

their efforts toward a new strategy
in his trial for the murder Of Mrs.
Myrtle Mellrs.
Virtually the whole OF yesterdays
court session was given over TO at
tempts BY the butcher boys counsel
TO introduce evidence indicating his
society matron sweetheart was a
habitual drinker and suffered num-
erous falls which resulted IN her
death.
That line Of defense finally was
halted when the court sustained a
prosecution objection that such evil
dence was "too remote" to have a
hearing on the case. Immediately de-
Tense attorneys requested an adj

HOOVER TALKS
TO COVER BIG
LIST OF IDEAS
Prohibition May Be Is
sue Discussed In
One; Plans to Make
Position Clear

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-tR1-
Business and economic conditions,
the tariff, water power, industrial
problems and labor will be the cen
trail themes Of the four speeches that
Herbert Hoover will deliver in his
campaigning in the East and South.
Prohibition, generally regarded as
the outstanding issue of the presi-
Dental contest, may be treated in one
Of the addresses which the republican
candidate will deliver in his final
drive as he swings back across the
continent to his California home.
Meantime, a series OF statements,
dealing with this subject will be Is.
sued through republican national
headquarters here The first IF these
will be made public this week under
present plans.
Hoover's decision TO limit to four
the number Of his speeches On the
Atlantic seaboard has puzzled his
party leaders and the public alike.
but to those who know the man and
his methods the explanation IS COM
paratively simple.
II is not that he is adverse to
public speaking and facing crowds;
the answer is found in the time ne
devotes to the preparation Of each
address and his abiding conviction
that il Is better to speak infrequently
and we'll than it Is to speak frequent
ly and not so WELL
Since starting out In quest ot MS
first elective office, the republican
candidate has developed q literary
style peculiarly his own and IN some
respects rs unique as some OF the
ideas he has brought 10 the conduct
az the campaign, ideas that have
shocked some Of the old liners IN
the game Of politics.
His vehicles Of expression rather
delight his advisors and when they
are called upon to review the results
of his efforts they are careful TO
leave intact the somewhat peculiar
but nevertheless forceful phrases he
evolves as he works in the quiet
night hours in his study.
Perhaps few candidates for the
presidency within the last generation
have devoted more time and pains 70
the preparation Of addresses than
Hoover. He writes and rewrites,
edits and reedits until each sentence
and each prase Is entirely to MS
liking.

TRUTH ABOUT
ADVERTISING

To say that it pays to advertise
is merely repeating truism. But
occasionally we run across concrete
examples and here is one of them:
The town of Rayne, in Louisiana,
has a population of about 5000. In
1883 the MarVin-Kahn store was
founded there. 1t started with one
clerk, but it now employs thirty
and does an annual business of
S5OO,O0O or more. And remember
that the community numbers no
more than 5000 souls.
In commenting on the success Of
the business the company manager
recently said: 1--WE have done a
general merchandising business
with drygoods as the bulk of the
business, catering to the trade of
ten parishes, and advertising in
every paper in our section"
The meat of this statement is in
the last few words. By advertising
in the newspapers of the section,
and by giving the customers fair
treatment and honest values this
store has been able to grow, even
in a small community. The same
experience can be found in many
other places. Everywhere it is
the merchant who advertises that
has the best and biggest store and
the most business. The fellow who
has so little confidence in his own
business that he will not tell his
neighbors and friends about it, just
naturally withers up in a business
sense, and the fault is generally his
own.
Advertising not only informs the
people of the community that the
advertising merchant has the goods,
but creates demand for the goods
where there has been none before.
Take your own case for instance.
How often have you been induced to
stop in a store and buy a certain
article that you wanted but would
not have remembered to buy had
you not noticed the ad in the news
paper? The age of isolation in bus
mess is past and the fellow who
wants to progress must keep on
his toes and stay abreast of the |
times. One way to do this is to
advertise your business in the local |
papers.
