European director of the American re-
lief administration will start for Riga

tiating a written agreement with rep-
resentathres of the Russian famine

Herbert Hoover cbainaaa of the

The relief of American prisoners ia

can relief administration has been or-
dered to make no move toward giving
relief until these prisoners are actually

Upon the conclusion of the agree-
ment at Riga IS relief workers will be
sent to Petrograd and Moscow where

reserve supplies of the relief organiza-
tion at Hamburg and Danzig which

view to the possibility of assistance to
Russia are considered snffident to
carry on the work antfl shipments ar-
rive from America.
- It was stated tentatively that the re-
lief of a million sufferers win -not be a
difficult task inasmuch as the Ameri-
can relief administration during- one
period of the war fed 8000000 in En-
rope and fed 0000000 in Belgium for
five years.
The methods of the organization in
Rnasia may differ greatly from the re-
lief carried on in Europe for some in-
formation received her Indicates that

Extensive Selling Campaign
Unfolded at Meet With
Traffic Club
PIMENTEL TELLS
OF OPPORTUNITY
Speakers Give Impetus to
"Buy in Houston" Cam-
paign Plans
Houston la to be told to the merchants
and business men of the trade territory
tributary to it and told by the traveling
salesmen who make that territory in a
manner that will be the means of making
this city a distributing point on a scale
never before attempted.
This will be accomplished If the power
of advertising multiplied by salesmanship
it abit to put the proposition over.
This waa the idea stressed by the
speakers at the Joint lunch of the Hous
ton Traffic club and the recently organ'
ised Houston Trade league held at the
Bender hotel Tuesday noon and attended
by 100 prominent business men of
Houston. '
Perhaps the most inspiring talk made
was that of A. B. Phnentel president of
the Salesmanship club who stressed the
idea of telling Houston by the traveling
salesmen who go out of this city In all
directions among the business men and
merchants of the smaller cities and towns
in their territory.
Ce-tieratlva Effort Asked.
"Pl-me" pleaded for a more co oper
atlve effort by all the Interests in the
city to obtain mar business for the city
especially In the line of wholesale houses
handling commoditle not now repre
sented here. In this connection he depre
eated the efforts of a few to hamper the
dty't progress and as an instance re
ferred to tha action of three members of
the harbor board holding up the progress
of the city at recently announced in the
newspapers. Thla statement was greet
ed with applause.
He likened the Chamber of Commerce
to a sales manager with the Trade
league aa assistants in an effort to make
Houston a buying; point on a scale never
1 before attempted. iBftald that some

with aU tha Mforal advantages Houston
la M offer have but to put their ahoul
dart to the wheel to pat thla city per
maneotly in tha lead in the race for
commercial supremacy and bold it
. ( The "Buy in Houston" movemetft re
ceived a great impetus from Mr. Pimen
tart talk especially when he said he
hoped the advertising campaign would
not ttop with the flrat buyer's week but
be kept np for an Indefinite period.
Bit talk was largely on the art
of
aaleamtnihlp' and advertising to properly
boost a city and gave several examples
of the taecessful advertising of goods.
Ha went beck to the days of the old
fashioned salesman and treated him in
a humorous fashion declaring that the
limit of hjs trade was tbe extent of bi
personsl acquaintance and said the "glsd
band" daya wat as good stuff now as it
waa thea. Ho stressed the power of an
advertising idea the potentiality of mod
em aalesmanship aad tbe value of pub
lldty.
"Houston baa been sitting sround far
years'with Its eyes doted" Mr. Plmente
said. -You must have your salesmen sell
tha big Idea of Houston to the country
merchant" he said ia conrliiKion.
"Bay la Heuttat" Boosted.
Aa a result of this aad the other talks
made the ''Buy In Houston" week sched
uled for early in September received a
great impetus especially when Earl Cor
tes flrtt vice president of the Houston
Trade league to whom the meeting was
rarneo over By Jsck F. Hennessey Jr.
president of the Traffic dub said tbst
TV memberships in tbe three different
classes bad been sold.
Me also declared that an effort w-s
befag made to obtain the convention of
the Texas Retail Dry Goods anaoriation
for Houston during the first week in
September. "We have Invited them to
meat here with the trade league during
that week. It would mean the assem-
bling here of nearly 1000 dry goods mer
chants from all over the Stste" he said.
E. Jj. Crain chairman of tl.e member-
win committee said the committee was
meeting with good tueeess in obtaining
members for the league. "There ia noth-
lajg new about a "Bay-ic-Honston" cam-
paign. There are at least 250 firms in
tbe dty wbo should joist the league gnd
they will all be called on. I want to
aay that membert of tbe committee are
working every day and we want more
help in obtaining new members. I also
wish to say that tlila ia tbe biggest con
centrated effort ever put forth in behalf
