nuFRTISING MEN TAKE
aDwhack AT STOCK FAKE
Thp oily tongued, smooth in
Hividual, who is seeking to dis
JTof stock > some new^ en
terprise that it is proposed to
Sch on the business world,
l„d selects the holders of
iberty Bonds, War Savings
Samps orTreasury Savings
Certificates as the ones on
whom he proposes to unload,
has come in for verbal chas
tisement, in a bulletin issued
bv the Associated Advertising
dubs of the world.
Time was when the news
papers and magazines were
filled with alluring advertise
ment, the rhetoric of which
was more alluring than the
text was truthful. But those
days are past, and the best ad
vertising men now insist that
truth in advertising is the
greatest essential.
The warning m part is as
follows: “So far as we have
been able to ascertain not a
single case has ever been re
ported where the promoters j
of a legitimate, worthy enter- j
prise, have offered to take Lib- j
erty Bonds in payment for the j
capital stock of a new com- |
pany. We beleve that the
very offer to take the Liberty
Bonds should prompt the bond
owner to consult a banker or
legitimate broker relative^to
the value of the stock that is
offered in exchange for the
bonds. The offer to exchange
is an earmark which should
serve as a warning.
“Another earmark of the
faker is his attitude when it is
proposed to postpone action of
consulting a banker or broker
of standing, suggesting that of
course, they would not recom
mend the stock because they
have stocks of their own to sell
The prospective investor might j
be sensible enough in such a
case to remember that he nev
er heard of this fly-by-nightl
salesman who thus casts re
flections upon business men of
standing and that the banker
?r legitimate broker has been
ln the community for many
years and will no doubt con
tinue in business for many
years. He might reason that
an established firm would fig
are that it could not afford to
deceive him. Yet) thefre are
thousands °f people who allow
nemselves to be hoodwinked
ecause they believe such fai
ry stories.”

Get More Money For Your Cotton
COTTON that 1* picked a* fast as it 18 ready and marketed pure white
bring* an average of throe to twelve cents more a pound than cotton
that is left In the field until It becomes weather stained. The slightest stain
tug by the weather cuts th*> prtee because the spinners cannot make stained
cotton take dye evenly, and slightly stained cotton makes an uneven colored
doth.
A grower who markets only five bales of stained cotton loses from $16
to $60 e bale, or, on tin five bales $76 to $300. Do you want the extra monejrt
Then push the picking of your cotton so that every bale will be marketed white.
On the long staple cotton the loss from picking is greater. An Arkansas
planter last vear picked most of his long staple cotton as fast as it was ready,
.'•k.me of it was not picked until winter. All of it was put in good storage as
last as baled and there was no damage after picking. All the cotton was sold
at one time to one man. The latepiolred* weather-stained cotton brought 80
cents a pound less than ‘hat \eked as soon as it was ready—a loss from de
layed picking of $160 a bale
One of the largest hampers of cotton in the northern part of the State
has found that besides the decrease In value from weather staining caused by
late picking, there is a loss in weight of 20 per cent.
When locks of cotton fall on the ground they should not be mixed with
white bolls freshly picked Cotton that falls on the ground should be gathered
and baled by Itself. Just a few stained or yellow locks In a bale reduces the
price 1 to 2 cents a pound. Do not pile cotton on the ground before taking It
to the gin. If the soil is damp it will stain the cotton that touches It. Hare
floors In the cotton houses in the fields.
Use every effort and every sacrifice to get your cotton picked and baled
. ure white fcarly picking makes money for the share-cropper, the tenant and
land owner.
