The political firmament in the Lone Star State is cer-
tain to assume all the earmarks of an astral revolution if
present indications are to be accepted as bearing upon the
temperature of the campaign.
From constable to governor there’ll be a hot time in
everybody’s home-town for many nights as well as days,
and Shelby county will be no exeption to the rule.
The Daily News, supplemented by the admirable
United Press, will offer its readers a grandstand seat in
one of the liveliest political fiestas in many years from a
state standpoint. Locally speaking, the News will engineer
the spotlight which will reveal all the candidates in the run-
ning and no effort will be spared to bring the qualifications
of every aspirant home to the voters.

quality foods to be served here by skill-
ful cooks.

College Station — Early
plowing of land in the fall to
increase its water holding ca-
pacity, and the plowing under
of as much green crop and
weed growth as possible, are
two valuable farm! practices
to which attention is called
by county agents in crop de-
The Broadway craze to “get
a billing” has moved to the
restaurant business. It has
been changed on the sign to
“Zani and Joe’s” in front of
a fancy theatrical beanery.
Joe is the cook.
No doubt William F. Kenny, millionaire playboy, thinks
it’s a terrible world. Kenny, in London, telephoned his pet
barber, in New York, to catch the next ship in order that •
his hair mpght not be subjected to the insufferable attacks
of European tonsorial artists.
Louis Arico, the obliging wielder of the scissors, is now
barred from England by the British Federaton of Hair-
dressers who object to an American laborer plying his trade
in the British Isles without official sanction.
Poor Kenny I His tresses are becoming unruly, his ap-
pearance is suffering. How could nations and societies be
so cruel as to prohibit his enjoyment of the expert touch
of his New York’barber. He should appeal to President
Hoover and perhaps our worthy executive will dispatch a
battle cruiser of bristling marines to avenge this insult upon
American vanity.

Mukden, Sept. 11 (UP) —
The two most active centers
of fihting between Chinese
and Russian troops on t h e
Manchurian border—Pogran-
itchuaya and Manchuli—con-
tinued under fire Monday
night and Tuesday as the re-
newal of frontier warfare ga-
thered momentum.
Chinese sources estimated
their casualties in a five-hour
clash Monday night at more
than 100. TJhey said 1,500
Soviet soldiers participated in
one encounter, using 150
pieces of artillery.
Three Soviet airplanes were
reported to have flown Tues-
day morning over Pogranit-
chinaya, scene of fighting and
bombing Sunday, and dropped
more bombs. Officials of the
Muline station colony, less
than 250 miles from Harbin,
reported that Russian planes
flew over there Monday night,
apparently reconnoitering.
The officials reported that
they could hear cannonading
on the border line over a per-
iod of three hours.
The situation at Pogranit-
chinaya remained desperate,
according to meager telephone
mesages received at Harbin.
Brigands were taking advant-
age of the confusion and de-
struction of buildings by
bombs to loot the city. About
six Russians .and Chinese
were wounded by bombs drop-
ped at Pogranitchinaya, Ja-
panese residents requested
eight freight cars for trans-
portation to Harbin.
At Manchuli the firing died
down Tuesday, but Chinese
troops remained in the
trenches despite freezing
cold. The residents were in
panic.

DID YOU EVER STOP
TO THINK?
By
Edison R. Waite

W. E. Topilin, advertising
manager of the London (Eng-
land). Daily Express, says:
THAT the best advertising
medium in Britain today is
the National Press. It h a s
been one of the greatest fac-
tors in the growth of that in-
creasingly popular method of
marketing—mail order.
The Daily Express takes
the advertisers message to
every village and hamlet in
the British Isles, thereby giv-
ing the nrovincial and coun-
tryman the same facilities for
shopping as the Londoner.
Every article bought
through the advertisement
columns of the Daily Express
is guaranteed by the proprie-
tors of that newspaner on the
basis of a refund of the
amount expended should the
article prove to be of a lower
standard than that represent-
ed by the advertiser.
No advertiser in a British
newspaper ever succeeded in
consistently selling a product
which failed t o merit the
claims made for it. It is only
by the great newspapers of
thp world insisting on
TRUTH in advertising that
the buying public will be edu-
cated up to making full use
of the great service which ad-
vertising offers them.
The British public expects
ernd value for its money—
and American advertisers in
the pres of this country h^ve
not disappointed them? For
example such American pro-
ducts as Forhans Tooth
Paste, Ford Cars. Del Monte
Foods, Palm Olive, and num-
erous others are regularly ad-
vertised and many of them
have already become house-
hold words.
In fact, the results of
American advertising in the
British Press hhve been so
encouraging that American
firm's are building manufac-
turing plants in Great Britain
in increasing numbers, and
the. healthy competition
which this engenders is ob-
viously of advantage to the
purchaser who gains by get-
ting.as perfect an article as
possible at as low a price as
possible.
