It looks like it is going to be a "Turkey trot" after all. The best laid plans of mice and men -- political leaders included -- "gang aft agley." By HERBERT KAUFMAN Author uf Do Something.' B Somtithinjir' I AS buying a cigar !a?t week when a mart dropped into thr shop and after making a purchase told the proprietor that he had started a clothes shop around the corner and quoted him prices, with the assurance of best garments and terms. After he left the cigar man turned to me and said: "Fnlerpnsin fellow, that, he'll get along." "But he wont," 1 replied, "and, iurthcrinvte. I'll wager ou that he hasnt the soit of clothe, shop that vsill enable him to" "What made you think that:1" qucned the tiiau behind the CuLUltcl His theories are wrong," 1 explained: "he's tclving upon Word of mouth public it to build U(j his business and he tan t interview enough individuals to compete with a merchant who has eue dough to say the same things he told you, to a thousand men, while he is telling it to one. besides. hi method of advertising is too ex pensive.

"I don't quite follow you."

"Now, if he were really able and clever he would discover that he tan talk to thousands oi people at a tenth of a cent per individual. There is not a newspaper in town the advertising rate of which i 1 00 per thousand circulation, for a space big enough in which to display what he said to you." "1 never looked at it that way," said the cigar man It i onlv "the man who hasn't looked at it that way," who hesi tates for an instant over the advisability and profitableness of news paper publicity. Newspaper advertising is the cheapest channel of communica tion ever established by man. A thousand letters with one-cent stamps, will tasily cost fifteen dollars and not one envelope in ten will be opened because the very postage is an invitation to the waste basket. Ii there were anything cheaper rest assured that the greatest merchants in America would not spend individual sums ranging up to half a million dollars a yerr and over, upon this form of attract ing trade. tCopyrlf ht) reace ana quiet will now reign we suppose in strife-torn Warren County.

The Election Of course it was an off election and the full strength of the elec torate not expected to be polled, but the showing made by this in Europe and business men everywhere are regaining confi dence in the stability of the business health uf this country. The cotton situation is also tak ing on a more cheerful aspect. Takings of cotton by spinners across the water seem to be steadily increasing and if this increase continues in the same proportions throughout the win ter and spring a good deal of the surplus crop will have been dis posed of.
