Need More Advertising
To Conquer Depression
New York, June 18. ? Adrertls-1
Ing men must hold themselves at
least partly responsible for the,
depression, Secretary of Agricul
ture Henry A. Wallace told 500
delegates to the 30th annual con
vention of the Advertising Feder
ation of America here tonight.
To fulflll its place In the mod
ern American social atructure, the
secretary said, advertising must
create a demand for goods which
will make unemployment and the
underconsumption of national
production Impossible.
The secretary spoke on human
desires and the possibility of their
?tlmulatlon through advertising,
?^'ndcr-ronxnmptlon
"It seems almost as If dealro
had failed ua In recent years,"
Wallace asserted. "A terrible
thing ? under-consumptlon ? has
?addled upon us.
"That would suggest that ad
vertising has, In ifkrt at least,
Failed. It Is a situation that can
be remedied. I want you to
think whether something can
be done which will agalv stimu
late the human desire for the
thing* which we produce *o that
we can all lire In greater comfort
than ever before and consume the
things which we now hare."
Advertising can and must aid
solution of the problem of un
employment, the secretary said.
It must stimulate people to buy
what they can afford to buy so
that factories can get to work and
provide labor for all.
Wallace suggested a minimum
salary In the United States ought
to be about )2,S00 a year. If all
workers received approximately
that amount, he said, a distribu
tion of wealth would be effected
which would aid In consumption.
Shoot Too High
The secretary criticised "much
of our present advertising" as
aimed only at persona In com
paratively high salary brackets.
The bulk of It, hev thought, should
be aimed at thoee who labor for
a small wage for they constitute
the great bulk of the CDnsumlrfg
population.

"TARZAN AND
HIS MATE"
PLAYS AT LOCISBURC THEA
TRE, JUNE 28th-20th
Most Thrilling Film Hut's Ever
Been Made? A Thousand New
Breath Taking Thrills ? Dwarf
ing the Halr-Ralsers in "Tar
zan, the Ape Man."
Hundreds of wild beasts, in
cluding a herd of elephants, near
ly a "hundred lions, a rhinoceros,
(crocodiles, monkeys, gazelles,
wildebeeste, boa-constrictors and
many other rare Jungle specimens
are all in "Tarzan and His Mate"
which comes to the Loulsburg
Theatre, Thursday and Friday,
June 28th and 29th.
The exhilarating thrill of re
lief from the problems of dally
life is offered with a "punch" in
every minute of adventure in
"Tarzan and His Mate," new pic
ture of jungle hazards. Johnny
Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sul
livan are re-united in the new
film.
Based upon the adventures of
the famous fictional character
created by Edgar Rice Burroughs,
the Btory has been developed to
pack even more human drama on
to the screen than did "Tarzan,
the Ape Man," the picture which
broke attendance records at the
atres in all parts of the country.
Crocodile Battle
The new picture has animal
thrill scenes that leave an audi
ence gasping, including such
breath-taking action as a terrific
fight between Weissmuller and a
giant crocodile at a depth of more
than thirty feet under water. A
special camera compartment was
used that brings the spectacle to
within a few feet of the mad com
bat with perfect visibility.
Herds of elephants are Bhown
running amuck among hundreds
of natives on safari for ivory.
Nearly fifty lions are turned loose
among the players for a climax to
the picture that brings a tingling
scalp to every member of the au
dience.
A tender love story is woven
through the Jungle thrills provid
ing a concentration of sympathet
ic interest on Weissmuller and
Miss O'Sulllvan that makes each
one of their dangers seem vividly
real. Their action is carried on
from the first of the "Tarzan"
stories in sound with a second
safari of white men attempting
to take hundreds of pounds of
ivory from the sacred burial
ground of the elephants. The ef
forts of "Tarzan" to protect the
ivory and his final success leads
to a smashing climax.
NOTICE TO COTTON
FARMERS IN FRANK
LIN COUNTY
County Agent E. J. Morgan
Btated to the Times this week
that "Practically all Producer'3
Copy of Cotton Contracts havj
been mailed to the producers this
week, along with card giving each
their allotted acres to plant this
year with yield per acre that can
be sold tax free this tall.
"Since the contracts were mail
ed out quite a number of people
have been in the office for infor
mation on how to tell what is
meant by the different figures on
the contract.
"The only misleading thing
about the contract is line (t) on
the bottom of page 4. The
pounds listed at the end of this '
line does not mean the number
of pounds you can sell, this means
the number of pounds that you
will receive at least lc per pound
as parity next fall.
"If you will read on your
allotment card and see how
many acres you are allowed
to plant this year and then
multiply this by the yield per
acre allowed or approved on
the contract you will readily
see how many pounds you
can sell tax free this fall.
"If any person flnds an error '
in the contract please do not go
all over the neighborhood telling
how you have been done by Con
trol committees in the county,
but bring It immediately to the
office of your County Agent and
let some one In 4he office check It
over, and correct the error, as
this will have to be done and a
copy of the correction sent to
Washington, so you can be pro
tected.
"We regret that errors havo
been made but they Just can't be ,
helped and we are glad to correct
them when they are brought to
our attention." ?
