Newspaper
Advertising
The following was taken from a
circular sent to retail mef'chants by a
large wholesale houses:
“The value of your local newspaper to
the success of your business cannot
be overestimated. It’s worth all the
support and co-operation you can give
it. For the newspaper is a mirror re-
flecting the life of the community in
which you and your store have an im-
portant part. Your advertisement is
the reflection of your store in the mir-
mor. Everybody sees it there. If it is
not there, the mirror is dark where
your store should be. You are there
but you cannot be seen. Your store is
open for business as usual, but ‘out
of sight, out of mind.’ To keep in step
with the progress of the community,
to get your share of business you must
advertise regularly. Take your news-
paper publisher into your confidence;
he can give you valuable assistance.
EEstablish an advertising budget. Plan
a regular schedule for your advertise-
ment. It’s a policy that is followed
by the most successful stores; it’s an
idea that will be profitable for you.”

eration, and we should have that many
Mothers’ Singers Chorus. Won’t you
help by organizing one in your club
and reporting to me at once? I think
it would be fine if our next Federa-
tion program could include a Chorus
Contest. In organizing a chorus, be
sure not to forget, one of the prime
objectives is to encourage the Mothers
to sing, and to help develop talent
that may have been buried. Such a
chorus should always be on programs
wherever possible. Since my last re-
port a year ago, I am glad to hear of
musical activities in seholos that had
not been reported before. Matagorda
has introduced the Damrosch pro-
grams and Markham has organized a
Choral Club. If each dub will elect its
long leader and this leader will report
to me, I’m sure we can have a much
better report next time, as I have had
no means of tabulating activities thus
far. Please let me remind you, that
one of our goals adopted last December
was a Radio in every school, and be
sure to state your progress on said
goal in your reports. This report was
adopted.
The County Health Nurse, Mrs. Pa-
tricia Martyn, urged that a committee
on Health be appointed, especially to
help in getting the children to the doc-
tors, whtn work was to be done. Also
suggested that rooms be made avail-
able in each community where the sick
may be cared for when necessary.
This report was adopted, and it was
moved and carried that we have a com-
mittee to work with Mrs. Martyn.
In reporting on sales of Centennial
Seals, it was found that nothing much
had be n done in that line. It was
urged that the work be taken up.
The meeting was adjourned for
lunch. After lunch the meeting was
called to order and some fine musical
numbers were given, which were much
enjoyed. A telegram was read from
Mrs. E. F. Goodall of Wadsworth, in-
viting the Federation to meet with
them in December.
The Scholarship Committee was re-
ported on through a written report
from Mrs. Pollard, who was not pres-
ent, as follows, in part: “We, your
Scholarship Committee, beg leave to
make the following report for the
quarter ending Sept. 1st, 1934. Our
finances have improved some, whereas
we were 45c overdrawn in January,
we no have a balance of $13,51. We
have four applications for scholar-
ships. Since we do not have the money
on hand nor any likelihood of accum-
ulating sam . we recommend that no
scholarship be granted until such time
as the funds have accumulated.”
The Home Demonstration report was
given by Mrs. Gregg Lawrence as fol-

Since so much of this work will not
be completed until the end of the year,
it is impossible to say just what is
being accomplished in our county in
the way of better homes and more at-
tractive surroundings. These reports
were adopted.
Mrs. A. B. Pierce was called on to
tell what she had derived from the at-
tendance at the A. & M. Short Course,
and gave an interesting report.
The Committee on Constitution was
reported for, by Mrs. G. A. Salsbury,
who read the changes and amendments,
which will be voted on at our next
meeting.
The President appointed the follow-
ing members to act on the Nominating
Committee: Mrs. Amos Duffy, Mrs. C.
A. Lucas, and Mrs. J. L. Koerber.
The President reminded the Clubs
that annual dues were now due.
Miss Dorothy Lee Curtis sang a
beautiful selection, which was greatly
‘ njoyed, and Mr. Eugene Wilson, nom-
inee for County Attorney, gave an in-
teresting address on the Amendments
to the State Constitution that are to
be voted on at our next election.
The Resolution Committee gave their
report as follows:
BE IT RESOLVED, first, that we
endorse Mrs. Keller’s request that the
Clubs appoint a Song Leader, a Sing-
ers Chorus, and Choral Club, and work
for a Radio in every school, also Musi-
cal Contests; second that we commend
the Athena Club of Palacios for their
splendid Year Book; third, that we
cotnmend the work of the County
Health Nurse, the Doctors of the coun-
ty, and all individual workers, who
helped put over the County Hialth
work, and place our county on record
as holding two certificates from the
National Health Department. Also,
that we endorse the appointment of
the County Health Committee to as-
sist in the work of management and
financing the work; fourth, that we
urge the sales of Centennial Seals;
fifth, that we commend the spl ndid
report of Mrs. Lawrence in Home Dem-
onstration work; sixth, further be it
resolved that we express our appre-
ciation for the splendid program giv-
en by Palacios talent, and to Mr. Eu-
gene Wilson for his helpful explan-
ation to our State Constitution. Also
that we express thanks to the Palacios
ladies for their lovely luncheon.
Mrs. L. E. Liggett,
Mrs. A. B. Pierce,
Mrs. Amos Duffy.
The meeting was now adjourned.
