Hamrick Ha* Novel
Stunt At Whiteway
Water Seem* To C'omr f rom No
where And Run Down String.
Attract is Many.
A11 this morning bewildered faces
Have been seen staring In Ihe front
window of the Whiteway Dry Clean
ing company. Koine would guess,
some would calculate and others
would question: "Where Is that wa
ter coming from?”
There seemed to be a faucet-size
stream of water running down a
small string suspended lrom thp
celling. Into a shiny brasi faucet
which emptied into a little keg on
the floor. The back of the faucet Is
Corked tight so no water can seem
to enter or escape. Yet there is a
continuous stream of clear water
gushing from the spigot into a small
hole bored into the head of the lit
tle barrel. A drain pipe Inserted
near the top of the barrel serves to
carry off the overflow of water
that comes from "nowhere.” The
stream Issuing from the spigot is
fully twelve Inches long and, in di
ameter* of the size that comes from
the ordinary kitchen faucet
Louis Hamrick is to be commend
ed for his Ingenuity In co.ittructlng
this novel display. He says he work
ed until two last night before he
could coax the "water to run down
the string.” Loui's suggestion to vis
itors and spectators is "try to fig
ure where the water Is coming
from.”

Fish In Catawba
Dying In Drought
Official* In Gaston Asked To Do
.Something About Stench And
Odor.
Fishing parties from this section
to Bridgewater and clscwncie have
talked recently about how the fish
are suffering due to low waters caus
ed by the drought. However It was
not known how bad the situation |
was until a report was made to the j
Gaston county commissioners this
week.
Concerning the problem the Gas
tonia Gazette says:
Fish are dying by the hundreds
and thousands in the backwaters of
the Catawba river in the oaslns and
depressions left by the receding wa
ters, as the streams of the county
are drying up from the drought.
This report was brought to the
county commissioners Monday at
the regular meeting by a man from
the South Faint section of the
county.
“The situation is one that is a
serious menace to the health of the
community," he told the commis
sioners. “The odor and stench from
the hundreds of dead fish's becom
ing almost intolerable. Most of the
fish that are dying are smaller fish
less than'six inches long. The larg
er fish follow the water out through
the drain canals and channels and
were not left high and dry in shal
low pools and basins. The water In
these places, being very shallow, has
gotten mighty hot during the re
ceht heat wave and the fish have
literally died by the thousands.”
The commissioners decided that
this was a question that ought to
be brought to the attention of the
Duke Power company and also to
state board of conservation. The
board thought that the power com
pany had made ample provision for
the draining of these backwater
pools.

Talking about general biBiffess
conditions, Mr. McMurry expects
things to pick up generally, and
likely In the fall of the year. "Things
cannot go down forever. Every well
has a bottom, and somewhere there
is a turning point for business.
Seems to me that we should be get
ting pretty near there by now,” he
said.
Much of the present depression
he blames upon Hoover's lallure tn
not preventing Wall street from be
ing more particular about Federal
Reserve regultlons. “The Federal
Reserve banks,” he said, "are our
hope. If It should ever be that Wall
street could completely control the
banking facilities and financial
source of the United Stages again,
it would be just too bad for ue. Then
we couldn’t be sure that there was
a turning point somewhere tor hard
times. Yet I believe a change for the
better Is coming.”
Mrs. Moore Says Gas
Came From Basement
Mrs. J. I, Moore, S. DeKalb street,
who was burned about the hands
and arms and whose dwelling was
damaged by fire early Wednesday
morning, says the gasoline which
she poured in her cook stove to
start her breakfast fire, tame from
her own basement. Her son bought]
an inflammable material to clean a
bicycle some months ago. She
thought it was kerosene but it prov
ed to be gasoline and when the stove
burst Into flames she attempted to
throw the cr, nthrough the door,
but it struck the doo rfacing, spat
tered the kitchen floor nr,d walls
and this caused the fire to damage
the house.

If You Want To Be Remembered—
ADVERTISE
How Much To Spend
ONE of the most costly errors made in advertising
is to stop advertising. It costs you real money to
quit. It penalizes you every time you slow up or
“ease off.” Stopping and starting is the most ex
pensive thing in railroading. Every railroad man
will tell you that the through train that runs long
distances without stops is the most economical
train to operate. So it is in advertising. It should
be a through train to be resultful.
The public is quick to forget. A man may be a
hero one day and a tramp the next. One of the
most pathetic things about our present day heroes
is the fact that we forget them in a few weeks and
turn to a new and fresher one.
The public will forget any-store that does not
keep in the limelight. There is a true old saying:
“If you want to be remembered you must stay
alive.” The cemeteries are filled with people long
since forgotten. Only the tombstones and monu
ments serve to remind us of departed great men.
If a merchant wants to pass out of the public mind
all he needs to do is to discontinue his advertising.
It is better never to start than to start and stop.
Competitors are eager to take advantage of the
store’s failure to stay out in the bright light of
publicity.
The man who says that he cannot afford to ad
vertise continuously makes a grievous business
error. He cannot afford not to advertise. He can
not afford to follow an in-and-out policy with his
. advertising. He cannot affftrd to scatter his
forces and run an “occasional ad.”
If your business does not justify a large expendi
ture in advertising then use a small one. Spread
the butter a little thinner on the bread but by all
means spread it. Small space continuously used
may be made effective if the right thought and
care is given to planning and writing the ads. If
you cannot do it yourself call in an expert or enlist
the services of your newspaper. Make an approp
riation for advertising and spend it—every cent.
