What Advertising,
Private Enterprise
Does in America
FOOLED HIM
It happened at one of those par-
lies that the Temperance people
worry about. At the inquest that
followed, one witness was asked
what happened.
He replied: “Well, all of a sud-
den, poor Bill picked up a broom
and opened the window and said
he was going to fly around the
block and back in again. With that,
out he flew.”
“Well,” he was asked, “why didn’t
you stop him?”
"Heck,” he answered, “I thought
he could do it.”

San Antonio Light: One of the
most /conclusive documents on the
boon that the individual competi-
tive system brings to the consumer
is set forth in a pamphlet printed
by Lord and Thomas.
What advertising and the Ameri-
can system of private enterprise
has done is illustrated in this ex-
cerpt:
“In the past 25 years the $1,500
automobile has become a much
finer automobile at $600.
“In 1910 a tire that would run
2,500 miles cost $25—a cent a mile.
Today a tire costing $12 frequently
runs 25,00 of even 30,000 miles—
about one-twenty-fifth of a cent a
mile.
“The $50 camera has become a
superior one at $17.50. The box
camera at $2 has become an im-
proved camera at $1.
“The 12-cent can of soup has be-
come a better can of soup at 10
cents.
“In 1922, a few thousand people
with radio sets costing from $100
to $500 could amaze their friends
with a voice from the air.
“Today, over 25,000,000 homes
have been sold a radio.”
Note that automobiles, tires,
cameras, radio sets and soups are
merchandise that is absolutely un-
regulated by the government.
There is no monopoly, private or
otherwise, in these goods.
There is no automobile, camera,
soup, radio or tire dictator at
Washington.
The result is not only lower costs
to the ultimate consumer but high-
er and higher revenues from the
manufacture of these goods.
Private ingenuity and individual
initiative, on the American plan,
have' found the way to bring the
moat, beneficial results for industry,
for employment, for the'consuming
community, and for national wealth
and welfare.

World War tear gas is now being
put to a more humane use by Dr.
George H. Godfrey, plant patho-
logist at the State experiment farm,
Weslaco, (Hidalgo county). Cholro-
pierin, as the gas is known, is be-
ing used to sterilize soil so that
plants will grow better. The gas
destroys nematodes, injurious fungi
and weed seeds, removing competi-
tion for the plants.
The oil refining industry pays
workers the highest wages of any
industry in Texas.
The man who said “half the
world doesn’t know how the other
half lives” never lived in a small
town
AUSTIN.—So long as he doesn’t
carry more than a quart, a citizen
of a dry county can carry whisky
home from a wet county.
So Attorney General Gerald Mann
has ruled, at the request of Liquor
Administrator Bert Ford.
The citizen of the dry county
may, Mann pointed out, carry home
up to one quart, for his own con-
sumption; moreover, he need have
no permit to carry it.
Not possession, but sale, of liquor
in a dry territory is forbidden, Mann
pointed out. It follows that possess-
ion of liquor in a dry territory is
not necessarily illegal.
The law specifically says that any
person who purchases alcoholic be-
verages for his own consumption
may transport them from a place
where the sale is legal to a place
where the “possession” is legal.
The only thing preventing the
dry citizen in the dry county to
transport more than one quart is
that section of the liquor law which
says possession of more than one
quart of liquor in a dry territory
shall be “prima facie evidence” that
sale is intended.
