Advertising Scheme# In a recent Issue of this papor, there was carried an article written by the secretary of the Newberry Chamber of Commerce relative to tho matter of hutfitig all advertising schemes referred to that body beforo solicitation of local merchants. This system of handling such would moan savings to tho various merchants of the community, evou tho each iiii'n'liH.nt. It ctpabie o-J 'Jh^ciurtfti for himself what is best for his business. Quite a few of these advertising schemes are pure and simple "rackets" uiul if a check can bo put upon this class, so much the better for the merchant. Quite often a merchant pays for something he doesn't get. and the picture of the advertising scheme is usually painted bright indeed by these professionals in the business. Many advertising schemes are worthy If the various merchants would only ask these solicitors if that par- ( ticnlar matter had been presented to j the local Chamber of Commerce secretary, or any other designated committoe of merchants, that would clear up the whole matter, and render the 1 various merchants a real service This writer knows of advertisements that have been sold on cards, with the promise of liberal distribution where the originator of the scheme never distributed even one of the . cards. | Through this cooperation our merchants can render each other a real service Newberry Observer W E C A N H AVE* SAFETY I We'll get highway safety ?when wo want it! . That is the opinion of W. Earl Hall, , president of the Iowa State Safety J Council. "When nine out of ten persons want safety, we'll he on our way to having safety." says Mr. Hall. "It will work ' out this way: "The nine will turn to the educator, the engineer and the enforcer-?tho personalities behind the three h. s or safety and say this: 'We want this problem solved. We're willing to pay the prhu and we're willing to cooperate m the fullest measure." We have all the essentials of safetv at hand <>tir road builders have made remarkable strides in giving us streets and highways designed to eliminate as many of the hazards of ; driving as possible. Our automobile maker- have worked miracles In improving lights, brakes and other mechanical safety factors Over a long period of time, our state traffic codes and standards of law enforcement have t ml d to steadilv Improve, oven though much remains to bo done. Where, then, is the fault? Why did lust year's automobile death loll reach an all-time high in excess of 4o.000? The answer is plain. We talk about safety ?but a groat many of us ; aren't willing to do tho things that create safety. It's easy to pan the other fellow?and at the same time to excuse worse faults in ourselves. We condemn recklessness?and then go out and drive at high speeds. We | argue convincingly that courtesy In driving is vital?and thogl hog the ; right-of-way We have nothing but i condemnation for the drunken driver i ?and then we go to a party, drink till evening, and drive home. Yes, we can have safety?when we really want it It's squarely up to us all Greatest Horse Man O' War had a birthday this; week This noble horse is twenty-one years old So far "Big lied." as he Is called, has sired over three hundred colts.1 and this Is some family for a hors" j< It means that for so long as the;! pedigree of notable thoroughbreds is, kept by horse lover*. the name of the;* noble animal.
