series of advertisements can be run this week and direct results reaped 

 ne.vt week or ne.xt month or even during the next six months. It takes three 

 or four .rears to hrii:p real results from an advertising campaign. 



**Tl'ere have been many outstanding successful co-operative advertising 

 campaigns. 'Pa.v it with Flowers' has l)rouglit results to the florists. 

 'Save the Surface and you Save .^H' Is admitted by the paint manufacturers 

 to have tremendously increased the use of paint. Fruits and vegetables 

 from the west have been handled !n a way which is almost miraculous, by 

 co-operative advertisirg. Concrete has been advocated and caused to be 

 used in tremendous volumes without even the mention of cement, although 

 everybody knows tVat concrete cannot he made without cement. 



'■.\dvertisirg. to some people, means the buying of space in periodicals 

 and the extravagant advocacy of the use of different products, hut to me 

 advertising runs parallel with trade extension and In the carrying out of 

 a program such as I would have in mind, calls for many other activities 

 In addition to the buying and filling of advertising space. 



"What the public wants in advertising, and after all the public Is both 

 the judge and jury, is real honest-to-goodness information about the serv- 

 ice that may be expected from the goods the advertiser wants to sell, so 

 Instead of saying 'Co-operative Advertising' I would say 'Co-operative 

 Education.' " 



Memphis Lumbermen Hold Athletic Frolic 

 The outing and barbecue of the Memphis Lumbermen's Club members 

 and their guests at Vance's Woods, just south of Memphis. Saturday. 

 August 19, was a huge success. There were plenty of good things to eat 

 and the various features provided by J. H. .Stannaid and his associates 

 on the entertainment committee added very greatly to the pleasure of the 

 occasion. 



The "big" feature was the fat men's race, in which Ra'ph May was the 

 star performer although not the winner. Dick Welch negotiatid the 

 distance over nil ten of his competitors but Ralph May. of May Brothers, 

 did not yield the lead to him until the former had fallen down with his 

 2o0 pounds of avoirdupois and ruined both knees of a perfectly good pair 

 of trous' rs. W. IT. Dick, of the Tallahatchie Lumber Company, won second 

 prize, a gold watch chain, donated by Paul Rush, of the Rush Lumber 

 Company. Mr. Welch cnrri'^d off the humidor which represented first 

 honors. This was given by Frank A. Coukling, of the Conkling Lumber 

 Company. 



Ilnrs- sho<^ pitching, th*^ potato race and the tug-o-war wre also features 

 of the afternoon. Frank Schnepp defeated an entry of 40 contestants 

 and easily proved himself the best of the hunch in the rural art of pitching 



horseshoes. He was awarded first prize, a gold pen, donated by C. R. 

 Tustin. Butord Dillon came in second best and captur.d a pair of golf 

 link buttons pres-ntcd by J. Clayton Johnson, who is engaged in business 

 under his own name. 



Paul Rush proved the champion potato slinger. lie captured the "Tom 

 Kats" loving cup olTered by the Thompson-Katz Lumb"r Company. K. L. 

 Emmons carried off a fountain pen as second best in this event. 



The "tug-of-war," with eight men on either side, was won by W. IT. Dick 

 and his team mates. The winners conceded weight to their opponents but 

 they easily carried off the Bennett & Witte cup. This trophy was deposited 

 at the rooms of the cub I>y the victors. 



E. O. '^Vhite. of the Tustin Hardwood Lumber Company, won the 100- 

 yard dash. 



Farm Implement Makers Urge President to Back Carriers 

 Against Strikers 



An urgent appeal to Pr'sident Harding to save the country from the 

 serious disaster of interrupted transportation and mob rule, by directing 

 the railroads to resume operations — under protection of troops if need 

 be — is contained in a te'egram dispatched August 17 by the Emergency 

 Committee of the National Association of Farm Equipment Manufacturers. 



The President is requested to render all possible aid to the railroads In 

 protecting the seniority rights of the loyal railroad employes, for "To do 

 less," reads the telegram, "is simply to invite anarchy." 



The message came as the result of a sp'-cial meeting of the Emergency 

 Committee at the Association offices in Chicago, August 12, nt which the 

 railroad situation was thoroughly considered. The exceptionally efficient 

 service which the roads have rendered the farm equipment industry since 

 the commencement ot the strike, despite all handicaps, was favorably com- 

 mented upon, but the danger of interruptions to interstate commerce and 

 to the transporting of the mails was considered so grave that, after serious 

 deliberations, the following telegram was sent to the White House: 



"In behalf ot the constitutional right of every man to work witho\it the 

 permission of anyone and in behalf of absolute freedom from group domlnsi- 

 tion, predicated on violence and terrorism, as so frequently and patriotically 

 advocated by yourself, we r' spectfully protest against nggrnvnting the 

 present serious situation incidental to the strike of certain railroad em- 

 p'oye'S l)y further temporizing with them or referring the matter to the 

 Congress. 



"We urgently recommend that yon Immediately exercise the great 

 authority vested in your high office and save the country from the serious
