NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
JtMT erroneous reflection upon the
WTW-jntion or standing of any individ-
'uhil. iirm or corporation that may ap-
tmar in the columns of The Paducah
Pest will be gladly corrected when
to the attention of the editor.
A most significant fact ob-
served in all the reports from
the big papers of those indulg-
ing in crime is that the major
part of the names denote their
earners to be foreigners. This
ttedls the story of what too lax
immigration laws will do. It
shows what has been done
tlomr this line in the past. Un-
less a man and woman is born
with patriotic conceptions it is
•a very difficult matter to in-
stil them into their makeup
after they have become adults.
It can not be done 100 per
went. The foreigner’s idea of
America is a place where ev-
erything is free; where the
mar.ing of money is done by
magTe; where there are no
restraints upon their liberties,
ms ntarter what their inclina-
ttwns might be. And another
thing. The home-loving, indus-
trieois, prosperous foreigner
dws .not wish to leave his
home- land. He lias a job: his
friends and his social position,
and he is satisfied. It is the
person with a roaming disposi-
tion .v hu is always wanting to
that’ge locations, especially his
home land. The idea that the
6wise immigration advocate

®rthiv arid a"res in America

• 1------
knows it the entire world will
once more be in the throes of
a great conflict. We are just
now becoming fully aware of
I what the last war meant to all
vantage of the ability to come
and go at will are not the type
of folks who wish to farm the
soil. Not at all. They are in
the main those who are try inp [ ‘ T^xes! unresi? unsettled
to lose their identity in their
home country; who settle in
the cities, picking for their as-j
soeiates those citizens of Am-
whd prefer the dark
business conditions—that is the
we are paying today for

more war is needed.
No
erica
rather than the light. Of course
there are exceptions to this
rule. Some fine people have
come to our shores from for-
eign countries, and have made
excellent citizens. But that
was before the war. Now the
world is so turned Topsy-turvy
that no on1 knows what they
want to do. nor when they
want to start it. America is
the finest land in the world;
it should be the heritage of
American born boys and girls.
The idea of throwing open the
gates and letting any kind of
human come in. unrestricted,
should not be even tolerated,
let along put into practice. It
might be well to close the
doors even tighter for a time
and see if there would not be
a cessation of action by thugs
in the big places. Americans
can be taught things of right;
they can be appealed to from
the standpoint of good citizen-
ship and national pride to hold
the standard of living high.
But not so the foreigner. Too
many of them can not even
read and write. Their minds
do not track along the same
lines of the people of this na-
tion. They were not reared
thus in the first plaee. Let us
all plead for -tricter immigra-
tion laws in the future than
we have had in the past
When starting out in life
too many voting people think
making a loud noise is impress-
ing the masses with their in-
tellect, and that pushing to
the front will win them fame
and fortune. They should re-
member that the braying jack-
ass fills the forest with dis-
gusted denizens, but that the
quiet lion is the king of beasts.
In the recent death of Senator
Dwight W. Morrow the world
was given an example of a
powerful man who seldom oc-
cupied a front row position.
He never made big speeches in
the senate; he did not rush to
the newspapers in order to get
his picture on the front page,
but when advice on real gov-
ernmental questions was need-
ed this man was eagerly sought
out by President Hoover and
other government officials high
in authority. He did not in-
dulge in ballyhoo, but spent
his time in quiet study, becom-
ing thoroughly familiar with)
These Hats
I started off down the street
a few days ago and met a neigh-
bor lady of ours, and after speak-
ing to her. I noticed that she had
a terrible-looking black spot just |
above one of her eyes. Well, I
was astonished, as we had known
these folks for a great many j
years and had never known the
jady and her husband tb have any
serious domestic trouble. That is,
as far as I knew, the couple had
never openly declared physical
on each other. Anyway,
the colored speck was there, and
that was sufficient evidence that
something was wrong.
Well, I went further on down
the street, and every few steps
I met some female with a dis-
colored splotch some place about
her skull, neck, ears or upper por-
tion of the backbone. I wondered
what in the world had happened
any issue before expressing an th(? 0ffjce alKi

it had a right to, for thousands
would die of it. In fact, more
would be taken away than
would ever get well. But there
is no use for anyone to be
alarmed over these diseases if
they will only have the proper
serums administered. But we
are due for a scourge of small
pox in this country, and that
within the next few years.
People have come to look upon
this disease as something to
not he afraid of any more. In
fact, most of us look upon it
as not dangerous. The fact re-
mains that small pox is small
pox, just the same as it was
thirty to fifty years ago. It
has the same killing power as
then. The difference has come
about in the fact that the medi-
cal world has learned how to
control it and a serum has been
found that will prevent it. But
the medical profession nor the
wonderful serum found will
be of no worth if the people
will not use it. During the
times we are now passing
through people ought to be
inoculated for the contagious
diseases common in the coun-
try in which they live. Sick-

if advertising really pays, de-
ltas been
proven over and over that it
does. If it were not so, how in
the world would you get a
big Jew merchant to do the
enormous amount of advertis-
ing he does? He is one fellow
that must not only have his
money back, but a good per
cent return on it. But adver-j
tising does not always pay.
This is a peculiar statement to [combat
, 1 «a1.
come from a newspaper man,
but it is a fact just the same.
In our experience we have
seen folks put an ad in a
paper for something they wish-
ed to sell that no one else
wanted or would have—some-
thing that there was absolute-
ly- no demand for and no mar- to the men of this town to cause
kef for Of course it did not them to beat up the women folks
kit tor. ut course on no ^ such manner j went back
pay them. They had tried ami home’and reported the thing to
my wife. She took me by the ear
arid demanded that I go with her
to investigate this outrage. She
Towed that if the men folks of
this community had got lowdown
enough to beat up the women
folks she would take a hand in
the affair and help her sex out
in the battle, and declared that
she would begin the war right
at home.
Ear in hand, we started down
the street, and hadn’t gone far
when I pointed out one of these
here scarred-up dames. Of all the
jars I ever got, I got my worst
one right there. In complimentary
terms (like Maggie talks to Jiggs)
my spouse informed me that those
things on the girls’ domes were
not scars, but were Empress Eu-
genie hats. Of course, I didn’t
know Empress Eugenie even had
a hat. In fact, I thought Eugenie
got run over by Paul Revere’s
horse. Anyways, I says to her, if
those are hats I’m a Chinese cook.
Of all the styles I have ever
seed, I claims that this new-
fangled piece of so-called head-
wear has got them all beat. They
remind me of a terrapin about to
slip off the side of a mountain.
And they are worn at all angles.
I haven’t been able to learn
whether they’re stuck on with
adhesive tape, mucilage or some
other manner of suction, but
they’re dabbed on almost any
place a person is supposed to wear
a hat. Some of the girls wear one
on every freckle, and lots of
times a part of the freckle shows
tried to sell it themselves and
failed, and then expected an
ad in a paper to do something
that they had found impossible.
Of course that ad did not pay.
A newspaper can sell nothing
that a personal salesman finds
impossible to sell. The only
difference between the personal
salesman and the newspaper
is that (taking The Post as an
example) it will reach fifteen
hundred each week while an
individual only sees a few peo-
ple.
As an example of what ad-
vertising does for a product
where there is a market for it
let us give some examples. In
last week’s issue of The Post
Mrs. John Davis of this city-
placed a little four-line sales
ad in the trade locals about
some chickens for sale. A day
tyvo after the paper had
out Mr. Davis came to
or
come
said for us to
please take that ad out. as
they sold all their chickens
almost before the ink had got-
ten dry on the paper.
In the same issue yve placed
an ad stating that the subscrip-
tion rate to The Post yvould be
reduced during the remainder,
of October and all of Novem-1 around £be edges,
her to seventy-five cents per! These headgears would make
year. It would be placing a splendid thumb-pads if a fellow’s

not been able to learn just where
| the hats are purchased, but im
as to giving it a special posi-
tion.
We could go on and on giv-
ing example after example. We
could give you an instance
yvhere a drvgoodsman moved
over one hundred articles in
less than a day by just placing
them because she’s afraid the
baby might syvallow it. I am told
that when they are not in use
they can he stuck around the

a feller never gets too old to
learn, but I believe that I am too
old to understand why women
hadn’t just as soon wear hats as
these plasters. They may be
handy to stick on, but when a
woman wears one of them she is
putting some good hat maker out
of employment. Therefore, in
view of the present unemployment
situation, I rule that these hats,
or plasters, are unconstitutional
and should be investigated by
Congress, providing Congress
meets again before the things go
out of style.

But let us again emphasize
the fact that advertising yvon’t

article that is not salable. If
you have something that no
one yvants you had just as yvell

save your money. But if you
have an article that anyone

Advertising might be illus-
trated by the folloyving story:

ing a yvasp soaring around.
Suddenly he noticed that it

San Bernardino, Cal., Oct. 16.
—It’s a rare occasion yvhen a
man can eat breakfast and read
his obituary in the morning news-
paper at the same time. But
that’s yvhat hannened to Jacob
Kennedy, 84, Friday.
Mr. Kennedy was strickened
yvith convulsions about midnight.
A doctor yvas summoned and he
yvas pronounced dead. Newspapers
yvere notified and arrangements
made yvith an undertaker.
Later the elderly man showed
symptoms of life. Relatives, who
had left before the ambulance
came, called at the undertaker’s
—only to learn Mr. Kennedy was
eating breakfast and reading his
own obituary. The doctor was un-
able to explain Mr. Kennedy’s
recovery.
MOTHER’S EFFORTS

heroic efforts and quick thinking
of a youthful farm mother Thurs-

son.
Mrs. Grover Willmoth of the
Gem Community, twenty miles
southeast of Canadian, found her
15-month-old son, George, float-

near the farm home. She recover-

then bent over the tiny form to
attempt resuscitation.

MARRIED IN LUBBOCK
G. A. Lee reports that his
daughter, Miss Marguerrite, yvas
married last Sunday to Mr. J. H.
Johnston. The ceremony was per-
formed in Lubbock, Texas.
Mrs. Johnston formerly made
this city her home, having attend-

friends in this city and county
who will join in extending she
and her husband congratulations
and best wishes.
The Post joins in wishing the
happy couple a life of prosperity
and contentment.
PEACE SEEN BY GHAND1
New York, Oct. 18.—Real
world peace and disarmament will
come when a strong nation like
America initiates it, the Mahatma
Ghandi said in a letter to Dr.
Daniel A. Poling, editor of the
Christian Herald, made public
Sunday.
The letter, mailed from London
said:
“I was deeply touched by your
prayerful greetings. My message
to American Christians on world
peace disarmament is that peace
and disarmament are not a mat-
ter of reciprocity. When real
peace and disarmament come they
will be initiated by a strong na-
tion like America—irrespective of
the consent and co-operation of
other nations.
“An individual or nation must
have faith in one’s self and in the
protective power of God to find
peace in the midst of strife and
to shed all arms by reason of
feeling the loving power of God
and his protective shield and I
hold such peace to be impossible
so long as strong nations do not
consider it sinful to exploit weak
nations."
PANIC CAUSED AS 1,000
STEERS STAMPEDE AT SEA
Cristobal. Canal Zone, Oct. 15.
—The cattle boat Genevieve
Lykes, her starboard rail awash
yvith a heavy list, arrived here
Thursday and her crew told of a
mad night at sea during which
1,000 frightened steers had brok-
en from their deck pens, stam-
peded and left in the ocean be-
hind the ship a trail of drowning
beasts.
When the animals broke loose
many of them were gored or
trampled to death and others
were shoved overboard. Several
seamen suffered minor injuries
before the animals were herded
back into their pens.

to drink at your school?”*

can hardly find enough for the
