PAGE FOUR PIATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1928. DESCRIBES HIS METHODS OF OBTAINING PUBLICITY Washington, June 22. Methods, including "back slapping," used to influence the newspaper editors in Tennessee to publish power concerns publicity to defeat government oper ation of Muscle Shoals were describ ed today in the federal trade commis sion's utility investigation. Guy P. Newburn, Nashville, direc tor of the Tennessee public service information bureau, who was the witness before the commission, testi fied the first place of importance for the utility publicity organizations to obtain contracts was with the newspapers and their editors. He de clared he had urged the other south- . .. . . - ern utility publicity organizations to "call the country editors by their ( first names and slap them on the back." ! "Without the friendship of news paper editors" Newburn said. "I don't think that any business can succeed." He added, in reply to ques- , tions by Robert E. Healy, chief com mission counsel, that he had been partly successful in the back slapping of Tennessee editors.

Greenwoo dI leeartmeot! Prepared in the Interest of the People of Greenwood and Surrounding Vicinity Coolidge Lets Business Pass by as He Rests President Thoroughly Enjoying Pres ent Privacy and Absence of Political Turmoil. Superior, Wis., June 23. Satisfied to let all but the most pressing of his duties lie over until Monday, President Coolidge decided Friday to wind up the remainder of this week in the soliture of the Wisconsin woods, thus getting 10 full days of invigorating open air life before pay ing his first call at his executive of fices. Some routine matters, however, required Mr. Coolidge's approval and signature and these were taken out to him Friday at Cedar Island lodge. These questions quickly dispatched, and wearing his 10 gallon hat and his high-heeled boots, he chose to take it easy reading the papers and strolling about in the immediate vi cinity of the lodge. No word had reached Mr. Cool idge Friday from Washington that Secretary Work intended to come to Superior in the near future either before or after resigning from the cabinet. ! Caused No Surprise, i In fact officially, Mr. Coolidge had 1 not been informed of Mr. Work's in tention to resign, having learned this ! only through press reports. The an j nouncement, however, caused no sur ! prise at the summer White House. While it was emphasized that Mr. ; Coolidge had apparently every in dention of spending an exceedingly quiet summer, receiving few visitors land perhaps refusing all invitations j for trips and speeches, it was said ' that a visit frcm Mr. Work would be ! welcomed. In any case the chief exe- outive would be glad to go over ; departmental matters with the re ; tiring interior secretary in view of i the vacancy in the cabinet which ! would have to be filled- . . I ' It was added that probably it would devolve on Mr. Work to pre pare the preliminary estimates for I his department's appropriations for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1929. Secluded Life. These have to be filed with the bureau of the budget by August 1, and Mr. Coolidge was thought to be glad to have the opportunity to dis- j cusss them with Mr. Work. I Little indication was available j here regarding Mr. Coolidge's views j on the political aspects of Mr. Work's projected visit. The chief executive has led for the last week so secluded a life at Cedar Island lodge that no opportunity has been afforded to even his closest aides here to discuss the matter with him. No information is therefore at hand to show what part Mr. Coolidge would be willing to take in the forth coming campaign nor whether he would be ready to advise in the prac tical details of its management. The impression is well grounded, however that Mr. Coolidge is enjoying hugely his present privacy and the absence of political turmoil about him. Omaha Bee-News. LINCOLN MAKES ITS BID Asheville, N. C, June 22. The Optimist intei national annual con vention today went on record as fa voring the enactment in every state of laws prohibiting the issuance of marriage licenses to persons unable to furnish medical certificates that they are free from social disease.

Miss Catherine Coleman, the post mistress, of Greenwood, was away most of last week attending the con-A-ention of the Nebraska postmasters, which was held at Grand Island, and also following and during the time was a guest at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ada Gullion, formerly of Greenwood, but making her home in Grand Island.

Tidd, who, by the way, is a most careful student of the Bible, spoke at the Methodist church, while the Rev. W. T.

No matter where you go, you are always inter ested in being shown a copy of the old home paper with its news of the activities of your friends. The Jour nal is just that sort of a paper for Cass county people. It maintains in dividual news departments for six or seven smaller towns that are with out a paper of their own. In addition, it publishes all the important news of the county seat, doings at the court house, official proceedings of the county commissioners, etc. It is your paper the one you'd call for if marooned on a far-away island and could be given your choice, but only one.
