Bell was highly educated in the scientific schools of Scotland
and England. As a young man he was a" professor of sciences in
Boston University. He married the daughter of a wealthy mer-
P§PP; chant. He joint*! the family in extending lo her especial tender
consideration for she was deaf. He resolved to use his scientific
lu'-y ^knowledge to perfect a device that would give her an artifical ear-
drum that his voice might carry to her. For a year he experimented
x in his father-in-law’s bam. He failed to find a way to cam his
voice his beloved and afflicted bride, hut that romantic effort
brought to him die instrument that has carried the human voice
over seas and across continents. 4

beyond the proportions of all former dreams.
TENNIS!
When you bake with
Calumet you know
there will be no loss or
failures. That’s why it
is far less expensive
than some other brands
selling for less.
Under date of August 8th word
comes from Waite* Browning, that
Pecos w 11 endeavor to come to Car-
lsbad on the ‘26th day of August to
have a full day of tennis (no tour-
nament or entry fees, )ust tennis for
ever’oodv and anyway. Ladies al-
so asked to take part). Invitation
is hereby given to Hagerman, Arte-
sia and Roswell to be on hand and
take part. However, definite date
will be given later, and hope to have
all the tennis players of the valley
Present.
The “Carlsbad Singles Trophy ’
with “Wal*er Browning, 1922.” en-
graved thereon will be on display,
and Walt?r Browning will take the
cup back with him. This cup must
be woTfeby one prrty the third time
before it becomes the permanent
property of any person. So turn*
y u’self up to make a hot contest
for the honor in 1923.—Carlsbad

On the first of this month few took notice of the passjjig>of
this great benefactor of mankind: He shortened distance* saved
time; sped up all the wheels of industry and promoted commerce.
He waA a great progress-maker. Mr. Bell sent our hello every-

After God had finished making the
rattlesnake, the toad and the vampire, He
. had some awful substance left of which he
made a knocker. A knocker is a two-

water soaked brain and

N AMERICAN MAGAZINE reporter once asked Join
Jjm Wriglev, the fifty million gum magnate, what be attriib-
J ^ uted his huge business success to, and the man replied
ttat it was 90 per cent advertising.
Mr. Wrigley is used as a study among journalism classes its
the man who accumulated three fortunes and each time spent them
for advertising, after which he started in over again.
It is a well known fact that he spent one million dollars ad-
vertising his gum products on Broadway, New York, alone.
THE FUNDAMENTAL FACT — *'
however, i& that after the gum
^0$ king had spent three fortunes
on advertising he did not stop.
¥ He let drop a secret that may
^ well be applied tg any busi-
ne88’ however big, or however
small:—
“Thm advertising is a good deal like feeding
a furnace—you have to keep shoveling in the
coal in order to keep the fire alive.
A little “ad” dropped here and there in
really of little value. It is the persistent, w<
that makes the j>eople sit up and take notice.
WHAT THE ENTERPRISE CAN DO
It can place advertising, based on the inch rate, in 2^00
homes, virtually circulated among 11,500 people for 50 centsu
To attempt to reach the same number of people by post card, the
only other means of communication, would cost $115.00.
It can readily be seen that there is no argument from an ecc-
nomic standpoint as the cheapest and most effective way of reach-
ing the public.
