“How can you make people drink at noon?"
is the bold headline of a liquor maker’s an
nouncement to the trade, an authenic copy of
which the American Business Men’s Research
Foundation asserts has come into its possession.
Here ate several excerpts from this candid
document of an American liquor-making and
importing firm. They are submitting to the con
sideration of those persons who voted for re
peal because they swallowed the propaganda of
the drink interests and honestlv believed repeal
would promote temperance. Incidentally, this
first release to the liquor retailer promises a
sales play which shall be “an effective assault
on the great market of non-drinkers or very in
frequent drinkers.” This objective is to be at
tained by a barrage of advertising.
“Newspapers of all leading metropolitan cities
will carry frequent advertisement . . . stressing
its (the imported French drink’s) very real vir
tues . . . National magazines will feature the
whole . . .
“At least four drinks ordered where there
might have been none before,” is the glad news
predicted as one of the results of the new sales
plan. Just one result. Another is that “in almost
every instance, those who would have refused a
drink will take this distiller’s product."
All is fair in the liquor trade. It is pointed
out that thousands take time out between lunch
eon and dinners for a few minutes' refreshment,
frequently non-alcoholic. The bold type is ours.
By using the new plan inroads are being made
into this great crowd of non-drinkers, the cir
cular declares.
And so on, ad nauseam. How about it, Mr.
and Mrs. Honest Believer in Repeal?—Christian
Science Monitor.
THE SPIRIT AND THE LETTHR
The letter we publish below is of such an un
usual sort and shows such a wonderful spirit
that we can’t refrain from printing it for the
benefit of others. This young woman has just
finished, we understand, Junior College and we
sincerely hope she may continue till she has
completed her education. The world needs more
of her type.
After receiving so many letters that breathe
an entirely different spirit, from those who owe
us, we are encouraged to endure much more af
ter receiving one like this. Its spirit is such that
we commend it not only to the voung, but to
older ones who may profit by its reading. Read
it and see if you do not agree with us that it is
one of the most beautiful letters you ever read,
not excepting those wonderful love letters your
sweetheart used to write you.

Dear Mr. Davis:
At Last! Enclosed you will find a receipt for
twenty dollars (S2O) for the last issue of
plained conditions to you. 1 asked the Business
Manager to do so long ago. but from your let-
ter I judge he did not. Frankly I was ashamed to
write (though I realize now it would have been
the only right thing to do) for I did not have
the money and saw no way of getting it. You
see according to some law or code, the Chamber
of Commerce wouldn’t allow us to get any more
ads. * * * * The old sponsor of
either and the new sponsor left it all to us, in
experienced students. ** * * I tried every
way 1 could to make up the money, selling ice
cream and candy at ball games and public pro
grams, etc., but another group of students were
trying to publish an annual by doing little odds
and ends so I had so much competition I could
not do much.
Since I had caused you to wai* so long I
thought maybe I could get a few more dollars
to “sorter” pay as interest for having you to
wait so long but I didn’t get enough. However,
I am sending the whole amount and I guess you
will be glad to get that—for you surely had
thought you would not get even that. But before
I got what I did I had determined to try to work
this summer and pay it myself, if l could not
get it some other way. Since the Business Man
ager did not take the responsibility it was left
to me and I could not bear to think of my owing
anyone. I am glad to say that now I
send the amount. 1 hope to be able to patHHH
some more for waiting so long for 1 knowM||||j

Mr. Davis, you don’t know how much I aA|

would have been harsh but you have

don't deserve it at all. I am sorry things tt®S|l

it. but 1 thank you for waiting patiently soHHB
Though 1 do not know you personally, I
that you are a real man and shall always rtflHß
you as such.
Again allow me to express my appreciatiW|Pj|
you for being so lenient with us. |BH

You would not go on your neighbors’ prem-,

does, what is the difference? There seems to be

SEEN AND HEARD
Sure Enough Not Our Burinem
A young business man of Zebulon was telling
us yesterday that “they” were going to boycott
him for not closing on Wednesday afternoon,
and asked me what 1 thought about it. We do
not know who the “they" are and told him we
did not know and besides that we were not di
rectly concerned and had no opinion to voice
nor advice to give.
