Perfidious Savages
He is letting
Anyone can spend money—the reader of advertisements spends wisely.
In the Torres Straits Islands in the East Indies, there are no trees
suitable for canoe building. So the natives, a cruel, treacherous race,
import their canoes from the Fly River Delta in New Guinea—another
place .with an unenviable reputation. The distance between thesd two
places is over four hundred miles, and no native in that region travels
. even one-quarter of that distance.
There ;s a reason for this honesty in savages to whom perfidy is
natural. If any of the parties in this complicated transaction were to
risk being dishonest, their credit would be ruined. And though these
natives may kill and eat each other, they hold barter inviolate.
When a canoe is wanted, the word is simply passed on from tribe
to tribe. On the strength of this vague order a canoe is built. Then it
is relayed back. Each tribe of bloodthirsty cannibals tests and discusses
it before passing it on. Finally the payment, shell necklaces, spear
points, arms bands, makes its way to the canoe builders in the same
leisurely fashion.
Even savages understand that in commerce it pays to be honest
and to let the world realize your honesty! So in modern business. Ad-
vertising must be honest. It is a proof of honesty. A product’s adver-
tising is the best guarantee of its quality, usefulness and value.
The man who advertises is inviting your.inspection. T"
his roods stand on their own merit. He can’t afford to deceive you. You
can dej>end on him. That’s why it pays to read advertising and to buy
advertised goods.

Will Rogers is known the
world over as a comedian, but
few know that he was once •
railroad magnate. A story to
that effect is told, however, and
for all we know, it may be true.
It is said that in the early
days of Claremore, Will’s home
town in Oklahoma, that flour*
1 ishing village was five miles
’ from a railroad. Will and his
' brothers built a branch railroad
! to connect Claremore with the
main line, also got up some nif-
* ty letterheads on which the
names of the brothers were
listed as high officials of the
I road. They also had some
good-looking courtesy passes
printed, which they freely ex-
1 changed with officials of other

When one inquisitive rail-
roader took it upon himself to
investigate the status of the

A wild looking man rushed
into the dentist’s office, plank-
led himself into the chair and

“Do you

The dentist replied that he
did.
“Can a fellow feel anything i
at all when he takes it?’’ asked I
the sufferer.
“No,” answered the tooth j

To the Voters of Lamar Co.:
The period through which I
have served as County Judge
' has been an unusual one in the
history of Lamar county. Al-
though it has been my sincere
desire to Ik* just and fair to
everyone who has had business
with this office, I realize, nev-
ertheless, that in the discharge
■ of my duties under the exist-
ing conditions, it has been im-
iwi.ssible. to please all with
whom I have come in contact.
When I assumed the duties
of the office, I promised to give
the people the best business ad-
ministration of the affairs of
this county within my ability
to give. I have tries! in all sin-
cerity to carry out this prom-
ise. For whatever good I have
accomplished during my tenure
in office, I gladly give credit to
the splendid co-operation of the
patriotic citizenship of our
county.
R alizing the needs of the
count..’ under the pre-' nt con-
ditions, and b lievinv that J
can give, even better service
in the future than I have,
in the past, I take this oc-
casion to '"'announce that I
shall seek re-elect iolFto the of-
fice of county ’judge. If I am i
re-elbcted, I promise that my
continued service in this office
will be for th'- best interest of
all the jteople, and that 1 sha’I
endeavor to maintain the credit
of the county and at the same
time give to the taxpayer.^ al!
the relief possible under .th
conditions that now exist.
Respectfully,
C. A. Martin.

Editor and Mrs. Sam Hollo-
Way left Wednesday, f°r Dallas
to attend th - fifty-fifth annual
aession of the Texa Press As-
sociation. While Dallas and the
State Fair entertain Texas ed-
itors one day every fall at the
annual press day gathering at 1
the fair, this is the first time
within 35 years that an annua'
convention has been held in
that city. More than 500 edit-
or® are expected at this gath-1
ering.
Thomas W. Jackson, humor-
ist and author of “A Slow Train

elers on many slow trains in

Deport. The Times wants to j
again call attention to th<- fact |
that the city’s dump grounds
should l>e cleaned up or buried
behind aome kind of screening
shrubbery. When the plot of
ground was purchased many
years ago it was not alongside
of a highway, which was later
built. All kinds of rubbish is
now scattered over a large!
area, and it is anything but a
pleasant sight to the visitor j
and tourist Ix?t's dean up the i
dump grounds, and give
trance to our town a
pleasing appearance.
