The bonus may not have tak
en the count : but it has the ap
pearance of being rather decis
ively beaten on points, at least.
No matter what the price
there is small chance of perma
nent prosperity in cotton for the
farmer who fails to provide for
his own needs at least in the
way of hog and hominy.
Saturday's paper, once per
haps the least interesting issue
of The Advance, has come to be
the newsiest. If you can find
anywhere a daily newspaper
dated Saturday, January 12,
with more of interest to you in
it than you find in Saturday's
Advance, we'd like to hear about
it.
Meet Bol) Small
When the death of President
Harding occurred while David
Lawrence was in Europe, Rob
ert T. Small was sent to Wash
ington to cover events there un
til Mr. Lawrence could return.
The Advance was to receive
the dispatches of Mr. Small
from Washington in addition to
those from David Lawrence
during the interval of Mr. Law
rence's absence.
But through some misunder
standing of instructions at the
relay station at Richmond, none
of the Small dispatches at that
time reached The Advance,
though this newspaper had an
nounced that they were expect
ed.
Naturally The Advance was
disappointed at its failure to re
ceive these dispatches and cha
grinned that it had failed to
make good on an announcement
made to its readers in all good
faith. It's disappointment and
chagrin were made clear to the
Consolidated Press Association,
which is the organization send-'
ing out the Lawrence and Small
dispatches, a^id the association
was quick to see this newspa
per's viewpoint. Accordingly,
the Small dispatches were start

Mr. I-awrence's stay in Europe
and during the period while he
was aboard ship on his way!
home.
t During those weeks The Ad
vance was so favorably ini-l
pressed by the Small dispatches
that it arranged to continue re
ceiving them 011 a trial basis un
til January. It has now ar
ranged for their continuation
indefinitely and feels that its
readers are due formal intro

duction to Robert T. Small, now
of The Advance staff.
Bob Small, then, is a reporter
and r.ewswriter of international
reputation. Headers of The Ad
vance must have noticed that
his are the stories in the news
of the day that editorial writers
all over the country are com
, meriting on. His headquarters
are New York City, but the Con
solidated Press Association
gives him a roving commission
land he is free always to go
! wherever big or unusual events
are happening. Mr. Small knows
New York, but he also knows
most of the country and of the
I world as well. He has been on
I intimate terms with American
: Presidents, from McKinley to
Harding, but he has known just
! as intimately notorious gunmen
^of New York City or of Ihe Far
( West. While a reporter for The
j Associated Press he was de
j scribed by Melville Stone, head
of that great newsgathering
1 agency, as among the four or
five best newspaper writers in
the country. Bob Small met
Pershing when the commander
of the American forces first set;
foot in France and was issued

F. While war correspondent of
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, i
he sent the first dispatch to
reach America carrying the;
news that there was to be at
last one supreme command on ?
the allied fronts before Paris.
Bob Small, David Lawrence,
Frank Simonds and Roger Bab
son are each at the top in his
particular line. They make a
quartet that the biggest newspa- j
per in the country would bo I
proud to have on its staff.
But the best is none too good !
for readers of The Daily Ad
vance.
