LAWN FESTIVAL ATTRACTS MANY.

The opening night of the lawn festival being held at the Parochial school grounds drew a large crowd and afforded a great deal of amusement to the patrons. The Gasey Lane band is the principal feature and instills the necessary pep into the festival. Confetti and tin horns made their appearance on the streets last night and lent a carnival atmosphere to the festival. Earlier in the evening the cafeteria lunch drew’ a large number of people and a considerable sum of money was realized. The Japanese booth, the open air theatre, the gypsy fortune tellers and other booths reported a splendid business. The festival will be held again this evening.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING TO SOUTH AMERICANS.

For the past two months Joseph Reynolds, son of Mrs. S. R. Nichols, of this city, has been in South America, having gone to that country to transact business for the Virginia Pulp and Paper company. The following article concerning Mr. Reynolds is taken from the Rivey Plate American of July 17:, Es you want to do any business these times, vou must advertise, and if you warn to advertise successfully, you must dp lots of it. American magazines, according to Joseph C. Reynolds, of the Virginia Pulp and Paper company, who has been visiting in Buenos Aires, have reached proportions, in respect both to size and circulation ~surpassing

anything in past history. - He attributes this development, so far as the matter of size, at any rate, is concerned, to the growing appreciation by American business men of the importance of advertisif they want td" f?e Various lines of business prosper, grew and develop. Asked if advertising in the United States fell off while the country was at war, Mr. Reynolds said at frpt that there certainly was no decrease, and then, after a moment’s thought, gave it as his opinion that there was an increase instead. “And now,” he added, “the volume of advertising is at least 50 per Scent larger than it was a year ago.” A great many companies, even 'including those whose entire outputs (were absorbed by the govern men* 'while hostilities raged, either kept lup their old advertising campaigns, 'he said, or actually increased their allowances, because they wanted the 1 demand for their goods to go right 'ahead, after the war, from the point where it could no longer be met, 'when the United States entered the struggle. Now even those which temporarily suspended their activities are getting into the publicity field with every ounce of their energy, feeling that they have lost ground to make up and being emphatically unwilling to give others any more time to get ahead of them. Advertising rates and the prices of magazines naturally, he added, are going up rapidly, as a result of ttiMedeveiopinenta.- ■ The Am eri can paper producers had hard work to keep up with their I orders while the war lasted, he admits. In some cases they actually were unable to do so. Now, however, they are beginning to interest themselves in the foreign field. It is in this connection that Mr. Reynolds is in South America. He is here not only in the interest of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper company, but in the interest also of the American Paper Exports, Inc..- an organization which includes forty of the big American paper ) concerns, his own among them, i formed under the Webb law to interest itself in the export business.

“We manufacturers,” he said, 1 speaking of the great American pro- ; ducers generally, and not alone of those in the paper line, “are coming down here now to look the ground over for ourselves. In the past it that w_e have taken , things in this part of the world too much for granted, with the result that I mistakes have been made to the injury of American exports. Today we propose to secure all the firsthand information obtainable —to gather it ourselves and not to get along as best we can on what we are told by others employed to represent u®& “OrganWations like the American Paper Exports will do excellent work, too. Suppose, for example, that we get an order for some special quality of goods. Such an order will not be turned over simply to the concern that happens to want it. It will go to the one that is ’best equipped to fill the order satisfactorily Or, sup pose one of thec oncerns included jn our group does fail to give satisfaction. It will be to the interest of all of us to 16ok into the matter. The customer will not be left in a position where he has no recourse except through the house with which he placed his order. Forty concerns will want to know all the details of the transaction. “This is being done in-all sorts of lines of business, and it is sure to be an excellent thing for American trade abroad.” Mr. Reynolds takes a highly optimistic view of the American shipping outlook, saying that botoms will soon be available to handle all the country’s trade, and that conditions are improving rapidly already. When it was suggested to him that business had been considerably retarded in Argentina by labor trouble, he looked a trifle surprised. “We’ve had labor troubles in the United States, too,” he said, “and I imagine they have been just as bad as they have here, but they failed to prevent us from doing business.”!

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY COUN TY AGENT LEAMING. Cott of Producing Oats Crop Being Determined. The time spent in producing the 1919 oats crop netted the Jasper county farmers ’about $1.20 per hour for a man and two horses, according being submited by representative farmers of this locality. Last spring a number of farmers, assisted by the county farm management committee, undertook to keep a record of their , laharand other costs entering into the production of the crop, including horse labor, interest, rent, seed, fertilizers, twine, threshing and other items entering into the enterprise. These records, while not complete at the present writing, indicate that the above return is somewhere near the correct result. About nine bushels of oats were produced for each hour’s work for a man and two horses, according to the figures, but labor represented one of the smallest items in producing the crop, being exceeded by rent and fertilizer and manure and somewhat approximated by the threshing twine bill combined. The farm management committee has upder way work on the corn crop, which will be compiled some time during the winter. High Grade Fertilizer* Cheapest. High grade fertilizers are the cheapest, according to a letter received last week from E. G. Prolux, state chemist. Not only do manufacturers place a higher price per unit of plant food on the low grade goods but the “overhead” cost per ton is the same on the low grade fertilizer as that on the high analysis. The farmer who buys two tons of low grade fertilizer with the same amount of plant food as-- one ton of high grade goods is paying twice the overhead expense which amounts to about $10.Q,0 per ton. “High analysis fertilizer saves three-eighths of hauling costs, bags and storage,” says Mr. Proulx. This is a matter which should be of interest to farmers who are purchasing fertilizers for wheat. Onion Marketing Service Established. Word has been received from the U. S. bureau of markets that a marketing service has been established to assist the onion growers in getting a fair price for their products. Upon request, the bureau will furnish to each grower daily quotations as to the prices of onions on any market centers in the United States, and weekly reports on the conditions in the onion fields showing the probable shipments for the coming week. A new and important feature is the food products inspection service. In the past it has been possible for unscrupulous dealers to reject cars of products upon arrival merely because of price declines br upon various “trumped up” excuses. The food products inspection service makes it possible for shippers and others to ascertain definitely and through official sources as to the exact condition of any lot of foodstuffs at aj?y time after arrival at any of the principal markets. The , mere fact of the existence of the in-, spection service appears to have al-. ready reduced the number of un-. just rejections by city dealers. Upon receiving a complaint of a car arriving in “bad order” and where the shipper suspects that the car under question is not as stated by the receiver, the shipper should wire the bureau of markets for an in-' spection. A certificate, issued by | the bureau inspector, is acceptable as prima facie evidence in any court of competent jurisdiction in the country in setling difficulties arising in regard to the condition of any lot of produce. \ Put on Super* Now.

If you have not already done so, you should lose no time in putting on supers, as the bees are now busily at work on buckwheat and smart weed. You will be surprised how quickly a colony will fill a super during the honey flow and every day you delay putting on a super you are losing several pounds of honey. If you are not supplied with sections get them at once and give the industrious bees a chance to show what they can do when nature and the bee keeper gives them a chance —nature by providing the nectar and the bee keeper by providing the equipment in which to store the honey.

The contest lasted throughout the day and at the end of the contest it was found that Mr. Stevenson had loaded and hauled forty-eight yards of gravel, or a total of twenty-four loads during the specified time. The gravel was hauled one-quarter a mile. Mr. Stevenson’s performance was a. remarkable one and his day’s earnings totalled $15.40. His friends state that he is a good shoveler, but not a fancy one. ■, The work on the road is progressing rapidly and .Saturday saw the completion of the first mile. Itis a road for which the people of that community have long felt a Want,* and will be completed this fall.

St. John, an American who was an eye-witness of the upheaval in Russia starting with the revolution. This lecture, although long and a trifle tedious on account of the immensity of the subject nevertheless gave some very interesting information on that unhappy country. Wednesday afternoon and evening Alice Louise Shrode, the child wonder, and her company gave a pleasing introduction to the lecture by Rev. Arthur Frederick Ewert, called “The American Army in Action,” a series of personal experiences and observations overseas. Fountain Park has had so far one of its very best sessions as to attendance, interest and excellence of program features. Friday, August 29, will be i Women’s day.
