He explained that no town or city, of whatever size, was too -small to adopt and foster whatever measures and methods could successfully be used to further the growth and progress of that city, and that a Kiwanis club was one of these things, together with a Board of Trade and similar enterprises. He finally urged that the local club stand together and continue as an active organization, for the benefit qC the community. His re marks were heartily applauded. The chairman then called upon F. W.

Among the other interesting fea ATLANTA SPEAKER HEARD ON TOPIC OF ADVERTISING j Advertising Club of Hendersonville Hears Head of Harvey Advertis ing Agency. The recently organized Advertising Club of Hendersonville met Thursday j night around the banquet board at I dress from R. Winston Harvey on the subject of advertising, a topic the or ganization is deeply interested in at this time by reason of its adoption of the Neosho plan for creating more "business and bringing city and coun try dwellers closer together on a more co-operative basis. Mr. Harvey, president of the Harvey Advertising Agency of Atlanta, came under the auspices of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World at the invitation of the local club. His ad dress was brief but interesting. This was followed by a round-table dis cussion wherein Mr. Harvey answer ed a number of questions on the sub rf nHvprtisiner. He said that con fidence was the foundation stone of j all business. This established, co operation was necessary. He said that the Neosho plan was co-operation in the highest degree. Mr. Harvey touch ed upon the psychology of advertis ing; told the business men to keep persistently after the advertising end of their business, to adopt an idea and make it characteristic of their business and to study their business and their advertising with the view to getting the greatest possible re sults from money-invested.

Patterson Remarks About Business In Florida and Cuba H- Patterson returned Sunday from a two weeks' pleasure trip to various points in Florida and to Havana, Cuba. He was accompanied as far as Miami by S. H. Freidman of Ashe ville. "There are many Americans in . Cuba," said Mr. Patterson, who de ' scribed Havana as a great sporting city. "The people of Havana," he continued, "do not know of any real hard times. Money seems to be plentiful." Mr. Patterson "took in" Jackson ville, St. Augustine, Daytona, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Miami, and Key West, but declared he preferred Hendersonville to them all. These cities, he stated, are in the height of their tourist season, comparable to our August. When asked if the sea son was as good for them as it has been formerly, Mr. Patterson replied that generally the season in Florida is fine, though not as good as some former seasons, with the exception of Palm Beach and West Palm Beach, uwhere there is as much business as , 'ever. The latter fact vouched for, Mr. Patterson said, by Anthony, whose department store is open at West ;PJm Beach during the tourist season. , tr. Patterson left yesterday for Philadelphia and New York, where he will do his spring and summer buying. y He will visit also Washington and Baltimore. tures of the evening were the songs by the members and the excellent music furnished by a quartet of ladies, Mrs. Ewbank, at the piano, and Miss Evah Blythe and Miss Virginia Siler playing the violin, while Mrs. N. F. Jones furnished a number of vocal selections. This part of the program was highly appreciated by both local and visiting Kiwanians, and the lat ter especially expressed their appre ciation and invited the artists to ap pear on the program in Asheville next Friday when the latter club will entertain the ministers of their city. Ned Wheeler, in his presentation speech commented on the possibilities of the local club and urged co-operation between the two organizations to further the growth and progress of Western North Carolina. His re marks were timely and to the point and were evidently appreciated. Vari ous other speakers were called upon for short remarks and, upon motion, the club expressed itself as unani mously in favor of an active contin uation. In view of the fact that the former secretary of the club had expressed himself as being unable to continue in the duties as such, the directors present appointed Edgar Latham as acting secretary until the annual meeting. It was also decided to meet again on Thursday next, March 2, at 1 o'clock, at the Hodgewell, and invi tations are being extended to the Woodmen officials who will be in Hen dersonville on that day, and the com mittee on entertainment. The meet ing then adjourned. Plumber - Preacher Was Heard Here Sunday By Appreciative Audience Joe Hollingsworth, the plumber preacher, was heard Sunday afternoon at the court house by an apprecia tive audience that comfortably filled the large auditorium. In his message on "God's Power to Humanity" Mr. Hollingworth had the privilege of preaching to quite a num ber who do not make it a custom to attend church. They were very at tentive and their reception of the message gave the speaker encourage ment. Following a devotional service in which Phralo Kuykendall, assisted by J.JVL Stepp and Morris Orr, led the singing, Mr. Hollingsworth plunged with his characteristic enthusiasm in to the very heart of his subject and held his audience spell-bound for nearly an hour. The speaker brought a surprise to many of his hearers who were not acquainted with his speaking quali ties. It is his ambition to become an evangelistic preacher and he is fill ing a number of appointments for services in this county. Mr. Hollings worth says he is going to hold anoth er service at the court house early in the spring.

WH kins, sang at the Baptist church at East Flat Rock Friday night, the oc casion being the formation of a Young Peoples Union. . - Tri-WSeekly News Announcement The News takes pleasure in announcing its purpose to develop into a tri-weekly newspaper at an early date This will give Hendersonville the distinction of having the second tri-weekly newspaper in North Carolina. It has been less than a year since The News, then in 4 weekly form, announced its purpose to become a semi weekly publication, the first in Western North Carolina. The test of months demonstrated clearly that Hender son ville and Henderson county welcomed the develop ment and improvement whereby it was enabled to pub lish more local and general news. Gathering from this experience the important fact that Henderson county people want such news and service as this paper has beeu giving them it proposes to develop into a tri-weekly pub lication, appearing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri days. There are many readers who would like to see The News grow into a daily newspaper this summer but one has to learn to crawl before he can walk and so it is with small industries. We are gradually growing, pass ing from the weekly realm of publications into the semi weekly class and next into a tri-weekly. Our next move forward will naturally be a daily. We have kept this goal in sight, adding new and modern machinery to our plant to the extent that it is now the best equipped plant, excepting, daily papers, in Western Carolina. Even with in the past week we received new equipment unlike any thing in Carolina west of the Blue Ridge but since this machine has not been completely installed we are not now describing its many merits, but incidentially men tioning its arrival to show that The News is improving in mechanical equipment as well as developing as a news paper. Local news and local service, carrying matchless newspaper reader interest, have been the dominant notes in the success of The News in its semi-weekly form, and this feature will not be diminished in the least in the tri-weekly publication but will be enhanced. New fea tures will be introduced, an improvement made possible by more frequent publication and more available space. Naturally these varied and important improvements greatly enhance the value of The News as an advertising medium to local merchants and business men. By reach ing more readers, and by reaching them oftener, local advertisers who heretofore so liberally patronized us will undoubtedly receive vastly greater returns for their in vestment and be brought to a realization of the great value of judicious and persistent advertising as the great business maker newspaper advertising has long been recognized to be. Details incident to this development into a newspaper every other day for Henderson county are being worked out and as yet the management is unable to announce what the subscription price will be, but the semi-weekly rate of $2.50 a year still prevails and all new and renew al subscriptions will be received at this rate until the new rate is announced. The tri-weekly paper will be sent to subscribers who pay $2.50 before the new rate is fixed just as the semi-weekly paper is being sent to hundreds who subscribed at the old rates for the weekly publication.

Both men and women attended the lecture, which was well received. A Klansman in full costume, a flow ing white robe, with tasseled cap, and a flaming cross on his breast, stood at the entrance to the auditorium and silently passed out "Non Silba Sed Anthar" cards, which outline the prin ciples for which the order stands. Dr. Abernethy, who is said to hold the highest office in the organization in the state of North Carolina, said that the Ku Klux Klan of today is the last stand of the Caucasian race, an organization standing for just laws, better enforcement of laws within the law and through constituted authority. Some of its cardinal principles, he said, are in brief, patriotism, separa tion of church and state, white su premacy, and the chastity of the home. He "gave many concrete examples of the practical work of the order. A. KANTROWITZ GLAD TO GET BACK TO HENDERSONVILLE A.

SUBSCRIBERS OF NEWS TELL ABOUT ITS MANY MERITS Growing Subscription List Shows Good Will and Popularity of Serai Weekly Paper. A subscription list more correctly represents the popularity and good will of a newspaper than any one other thing. Since The News grew to a semi-weekly newspaper in May it has enjoyed a growth in its family of readers instead of losing as was pre dicted by. some who feared the out come of the venture. This growth in dicates the hearty reception accord ed a semi-weekly newspaper in Hen dersonville. v One may gather a lot of human in terest from perusing a subscription list because it shows of relatives and acquaintances scattered from ocean to ocean, reminds one of friends of long, long ago, and often recalls both fond and bitter recollections. The News makes it a policy to pub lish its list of new and renewal sub scriptions from month to month so as to acquaint friends with the where abouts of each other and to acknowl edge receipt of payment received through the mails. Delay was oc casioned in publishing that received in December, but it is given below.. That for January, also a healthy and flattering list, will appear at an early date. Quite a number of the names below represents new subscri bers, with a name or two of some one (Continued on Page 7) Business Conditions Much Improved Says A. Lewis After Trip A.
