THIS 8UMMER
Careless campers who leave their
fires burning in the woods or toss
lighted cigar and cigarette stubs into
the brush, burned last season more
timber land than was cut by all saw
mills in the country all year.
Reforestation has been recognized
for years as one of great necessities.
Something is being accomplished in
thia direction. But forest fires
present wipe out much more timibei
every year than is being regrown.
Records kept by the forest service
show that every year the area of for
est land swept by fire is about twice
as groat as the area cut overby log
ging operations, v
Four-fifths of ;the fires each year
are man made. They might be pre
vented by the exercise of ordinary
care. Most of them start from hot
coals left by campers or picnickers o:
from lighted cigarette butts, and somi
of them come through carelessness of
settlers in burning up stump piles and
brush heaps.
The burned-over acreage is‘largely
cut-over land,, which reduces the
monetary loss, but the potential de
struction is nevertheless terrific, foi
the fires on th^ cut-over acreage de
stroy the seeds and young growth
that would reforest the land.
The forestry service saya the first
important step i nreforestation is b1
start the growth on the cut-over land,
and on much of this land “effective
protection against fire will be all that
Is necessary for this purposs.”

brush at the roadside.
Stripping the body of valuables,
they returned to th« car and drove
it to Asheville, thence towards Can
ton, where King lives, according to
the confession. After an unsuccess
ful attempt to cross Crabtree moun
tain, near Canton, they returned to
the Thickety section and ditched the
car unintentionally. Then, unable to
extricate it, they hid Me Leary’a be
longings, stripped off the license tags
from the car, and fled, King going to
his home near Canton.
This confession was obtained only
after King had been once arrested
and questioned, and then released.
He was again taken into custody and a
search was made of his house. At
this time a shirt was found resemb
lirg those found in the belongings of
Major McLeary, and checking up
showed that the maker’s label and
laundry marks coincided.
Confronted with this evidence, King
broke down and said, ‘‘Well, men, I’ll
tell the truth. That’s his shirt. We
did it.”
The confession was made in the
presence of four men—Charles H.
Powers of the department of justice;
chief <d police, H. A. Summer, of
Canton; Major S. W. Williams, of
Asheville and Hubert Holloway, of

HOW PRINTERS INK
WELDED MARKETS OF
THE UNITED STATES
E. T. Meredith Lays Value Of
Advertising Before World
Ad Clubs
■ •
(By Associated Press)
London, July 17.—An address by
E. T. Meredith, of Des Moines, Iowa,
on “How Advertising: has Welded the
United States Market," was this af-1
■ernoon read before the convention of
ihe Associated Advertising Clubs ol
the World, now in session in London.
Mr. Meredith, in the beginning, re
viewed the barriers that exist in
America to uniform buying1 cus'onm
throughout the 48 states. He re
ferred to the geographical barriers
fodfid in mountainchains; the different
climatic conditions in winter, for in
stance, between Florida on the south
and the Canadian border on the north;
ihegreat distances north, east, south
and west; the distribution of popula
tion, 82,000,000 people on farms,
15,000,000 in cities and 29,000,000 in
towns, and the question of sectional,
industrial and agricultural production.
“Nevertheless,” Mr. Meredith de
clared. “the use of locally manufac
tured prodocts made from locally pro
duced raw materials is nation-vride,
end th:s has been accomplished by ad
vertising. Nationally-known and na
tionally-used products have been ad
vertised throughout the nation, and
the heads of these concerns will tell
you that universal sales would not
have been possible without tills
publicity.”
io explain what national advertis
fng meant in dollars and cents the
speaker related the sums of money
spent yearly by well-known firms deal
ing in automobiles, foodstuffs, cloth
ing, etcetera. In conslusion he said:
“I hope I have made clear to y°u
that in the first place nearly all of the
natural conditions in the United States
work against national distribution of
products and that tbe line of least re
sistance, the easy way out as it were,
would have developed in the United
States not a single buying unit as wt
find it today. We would have had a
number of local or sectional com
munities to a large extent sufficient
unto themselves each going its own
way with its own customs, living con
ditions, and the use of commodities
nectssary for its well-being. But far
seeing men saw what might have been
considered as definite trade barriers
only a3 trade problems to be solved
in some way. To solve the problem,
they, with almost no exception, turned
to national advertising to establish na
tional consumption of their product
in a vast country. The. wise and in
telligent use <>f advertising in alt its
forms has succeeded in its purpose of
welding the United States market.”
SEARCH FOR BABY’S BODY
CONTINUED WHILE BODY OF
MOTHER LAID TO~REST'
Richmond, July 17.—W‘hile the
funeral services were being held for
Mrs. John Christian, who was found
drowned in the Old Canal here Tues
day, authorities continued search of
waterway for the body oi her eight
months old infant who she took with
her when she left home Monday.
The canal has been drained and
officers centered their search on many
holts on the bottom in which they
said the baby’s body could be con
cealed.
