THE COST OF ADVERTISING Somewhat amusing to the folks who know is the statement that nationally advertised pro ducts cost more because so much is spent for advert isiiig. for a tact, advertising actuallv makes it. possible for goods to be sold at less cost. Some figures recently collected bv lr nard Lichtenberg, formi 1 piesuknt of the A sociation of National Advertisers, are of especi.d ' .'interest; ; ;:: ,('am)l)ell's Soup is taken as an illustration. The advertised price of Campbell's Nup is 1J cents a can. The cost i adwitiMiig a singh can of Campbell's Soup, according to the figures of Mr. LKcheiibeig, is ;5b-10l)0ths of one cent Tlie IK)se-Viles Uiscuit Company savs that on a ten-cent package the advertising ex penditure is less than one null. A Lord Pepperell shirt for Sl.9.1: The advertising expense at that price is one-thirl of one per cent or some G-l-lOOOths of a cent. A five-cent glass of Coca-Cola costs for ad. vertismig inTG-lOO.OOOths of a cent. The-Eastman Kodak Company has been a consistent advertiser, It has built its business and reduced its cost increased its volume, and Sjiivett the benefits of its business building to the public. The Eastman company justifies the money spent on advertising by saying: "Savings to the consumers as a. result of advertising are so many times the amount of the money devoted to advertis ing that we think any question of yvasteful practice is untenable." -. . - The next time some smart person tries to sell you an unadvertised product with the argu ment that you are getting just as good for less money because of the saving effected by not advertising quote him some of the figures giv en above. UNITED WE STAND Realizing that without uryty the progress of the community was being retarded, the two Chambers of Commerce, heretofore in Waynes ville, have merged, which is a step forward, indeed. The merger of the two organizations does not in any way mean just the elimination of one organization. It means.' as we understand it,, thai the organization will bear the name Way. nesville Chamber of Commerce and serve the entire district. Its purpose will be to develop a greater spirit of neighborliness throughout the region; to unify our objectives; and to con solidate our forces. Thus prepared, we shall be in a position to encourage needed projects. Under the old set up. this would have been im possible. Without unity there cannot be progress; and the lack of progress in a community is most detrimental. We do not know who will be elect, ed members of the board of directors, .but we do know this, that the citizens of this com munity under no circumstances feel that it is up to the board to make' a success out of "he merger it is partly their job but the major part of" the responsibility rests entirely with us ami by us we mean you and I. Both organizations have accomplished things that at times looked almost impossible. l!oth had determination and -ideals, but un. fortunately then. was not enough financial sup. pot t :o enable them to do all the things they wanted to do. With the combination of the organizations, the decrease in operating expens es, and the knitting together of the ideas d l h groups, there should be no reason why this community should not be in the forefront this coining .season and for all seasons to come: We have said time and time again that there is no community that has been blessed, by nature as this one. and certainly with the pr -gramlhat is being mapped out. the organization that we will have here shortly will enable us t go forward as never before. Another outstanding feature about the new set. up is the territory which will be served. Waynesville cannot go forward alone, neither can Hazelwood. Lake Junahiska or anv other town within this section, .but united and all working towards one definite program there :s much that can be accomplished, and we believe that it will be. Heretofore some citizens have had the idea that the membership of a chamber of com merce was composed only ot the older men The new order of things presupposes that the younger men, in fact every civic minded per son should give support whether by contribut ing financially, or by lending moral support the organization: With these things put into practice, it .should not be long before this .community will have accomplished that which even the extreme optimist does not now dare hope for THIS THING CALLED KISSING There is no telling who invented the art of ki.s.Miig, but its a safe assertion that no other linentor ever saw his example so universally adopted or so gosh awfully en loved Kissing is a pleasure, a habit, an eestacv a dut, a sin. a crime depending altogether 011 t he circumstances Kissing a baby is about theweetest kiss, ing on earth, but it's mighty hard on the baby He gets such a lot of it. Pretty girls kiss him ; married women kiss him ; old bachelors kiss him everybody's doin' it. If he were old enough to assert himself lie wouldn't stand lor it not all of it anyway. But then, if he were bigger no one would care to kiss him Kissing a girl whose lips are like warm velvet would be about the niftiest kissing, ex cept for the fact that 110 one gets to kiss tha? kinu of girl except raw boys who haven't learn ed how to ki Kissing one's wife is about as near perfect enjoyment as a mere mortal need hope to get But it's a custom not universally followed- Some men never kiss their wives. And. of course some men kiss other men's wives The man who doesn't kiss his yvife at least ten times a dav doesn't deserve her. The woman who doesn't want to be kissed at least ten times a day doesn't deserve a husband. And yet, if the old man keeps a quid of cut plug in his jaw, the yvife who stands for ten kisses a day deserves a halo and a cushion seat alongside of Job in the Neyv Jerusalem. r There are many ways to kiss. A little baby merely opens its mouth and slobbers. A coy maiden closes her eyes tight and lets some one else do the kissing. An old maid ties her lips into a hard knot and pecks at the victim like a woodpecker. An old bachelor puckers up and smacks like the dredge of a steam shovel. Wives real wives kiss like the lingering clasp of hands between man friends who know how to love. And mothers? Ah, mothers kiss like the soft beating of angel's wings like the soothing notes of some celestial harp heard through the twilight like God's benediction whispered over one's bowed head. Ex. Random SIDE GLANCES Uv W. CURTIS RL'SS It : about thus time of year that a disease known as "poem ifis" makei its appearance. No cure ha- been found for the malady. ne editor said once, "when tha ,-au .n the trees begin- tu iie. luok out f i- poetry." Th:.i same editor remarked thai lie saved all , the poems he received dur ing the spring and used them l'yr fuel in the winter, SiiSiiHiililllSSIII! 1 Well, .-o it goes some like poetry and other detest it.

The political situation in Haywood county is warming up. There is a continued increase in enthusiasm, and unless 1 am badlv mistaken betore the primary, there will be several "jolts" to some of the folks who think things are "sewed up." One (): two "old timers" are paving their way to make a fast race at the last minute- I believe that the sher iff's race will be in for the thickest of the battle. And did you know that perhaps there will be a "Mrs. on the eounty ticket this year. Unless present plans fail, formal announcement will be made soon; yes, real soon!

RUFUS SILER MRS KATE MORRIS. NERVES ARE TOO IMPORTANT TO TRIFLE WITH ... SO I NEVER SMOKE ANYTHING BUT CAMELS. I SMOKE THEM STEADILY. THEY NEVER GET ON MY NERVES I Down in Durham, last week, the president of one of the banks sent a newly employed boy to another bank to get the kev to "the cleairng house." After being sent from ono bank to another, the boy realized there was something strange about it ail, so he stopped and figured it out its. being; a joke- which it . was. . He went to the live and ten cent store and bought, a large . wooden key such as is presented to mayors and distinguishe! vi.sitors at times, and carried it back to the banker who started him on the search. The banker was somewhat amazed to see the bov return with the key. Every ttm,, someone starts to wof-k in a printing office there is a number of things that he is sent for rang uig from a paper stretcher to striped ink. Not many vears ago a bov of about 15 was given work in the shop of a daily, and immediately he was sent out for a left handed monkey wrench. After an hour he returned disgusted and ready to quit because he had failed to perform his first duty as a printer. About a week later he was sent to thP laundry for a bucket of steam. The manager of the laundry did not catch on that it was a joke on the boy so he sent him back to the news paper office to get "a steam bucket.'' After the boy is shown real type lice he is then a full fledged printers devil, and seldom does he ever live it down. '"What's happened to that ifice lodger you had, Mrs. Brown?" "Oh. I had to get rid of him. Do you know, he told me he was a bach elor of arts, and I found out by chance he has a wife and family in another city." OE STANDARD DEPENDABILITY The sold standard is. of course, purely arbitrary. Anj rate element is internationally agreed upon, might serve as the absolute in fixing values. Standards in prescriptions, however, cannot be so determined. They must produce the results desired and intended by the physician, and to do this they must be carefully and skillfully compounded with chemically pure ingredients. For twenty years, Alexander's Prescriptions have 1 conformed to one standard of dependability. 1 And yet there is no price premium on the absolute assurance of safety which the Alexander label gives.
