TALK OF TRACK MEET
AMONG COLLEGE MEN.

Local sports, most of them former
college men and members of the Pan
Hellenic Fraternity that has lately
been organized, are talking up a track
meet for this spring. They want to
make some records for themselves
and show the Military Institute boys
what they a do in the line of work
that is annually carried out by the
class in athletics at the school on the
hill. Some of the enthusiasts have AL
ready started practice and some have
had a workout or two at the fair
grounds. Chairman J.. NJ. O'Brien of
the tPan-Hellenic, today stated that he
had no information on the subject of
track meet and was of the opinion
that it was individual members of the
fraternity that were getting UP the af-
fair, rather than the society as a
whole.

means. / have simply invented a ma
chine that makes and lays a cement
tile, free of joints, any size or length.
By a perfect system of hydraulics
these continuous tiles will distribute
the water evenly and uniformly under
the soil, supplying the root zone with
the exact amount of water at all times
Any portion of the land can be irrigat-

ing on the water by mean of cut
off valves. III water percolates thru
openings in the lateral lines. These
openings are securely protected by a
cap which prevents roots Or mud from
clogging them up.

talists are soon to commence active
operations in New Mexico. The COM
pany is capitalized at $4,000, 900 I'M
der the laws of Arizona, and it is I'M
derstood that practically all of this
vast sum will be spent during the
next two of three years in the deve1-
opment of the system, demonstration
farms etc.
Speaking of the recent invention
and it's possibilities in the arid and
semi-arid portions Of the Southwest,
Inventor Virgins said:
"All of my patents are controlled
by the National Land and Sub-irriga-
ton Co., of Kansas City. The COM
pany expects to install a number of
demonstration farms in Colorado,
Mexico and other arid and semi
arid sections at the earliest possible
moment. The continuous cement tile
making machines will be mad here,
but the tile will be made and laid on
the ground to be irrigated. By drill
ing wells water can be found at depths
under 400 feet almost anywhere in
New Mexico and other semi-arid belts
of the West. By the use of wind
mills n gasoline engines enough
water a be pumped into elevated
tanks OF reservoirs to irrigate a con
siderable tract of land.

How quickly you notice the atmos-
phere of a business houSeea great de
partment store, o example. There
is as much difference between b
feeling you have in walking through
two great establishments as that you
experience in talking with the differ
ent heads of these houses. In one, re-
finement, courteousness, cousfdera-
ton for others, a feeling of good will.
permeates the very atmosphere. You
have a feeling that every employee
in tn place would be glad to serve you
if he could, and is anxious to please,
whether you buy or not. There is eyi
dence that the employer thinks "a
great deal of the character as well as
the ability of his clerks, and that
manners and department are never
left out of consideration in their selec-
ton. In another hause, only a few
blocks away, you are i'll at s. Care
~lessness, Indifference, and ~chilHness
pervade place. You do o feel
at home. There is a lack of harmony
a of antagonism in the atmos
phere. The employees make o feel
that they are doing you a favor in let
ting you e the goods, Or giving you
the opportunity to purchase them with
your money.
The mar who thinks he is going to
make a fortune without considering
the man at the other end of the bar
gain is very short-sfghted. In the long
run h customers best good is the
sellers best good also; and, other
things equal, the man succeeds best
who satisfies his customers best and
whose customers not only come back,
but always bring others with them.
Merchants sometimes lose some OF
their best customers because of the
insolence of a clerk. 1t is useless to
say that the proprietor knows nothing
about this; that 1t was lot his fault.
The fact remains that people prefer
to go where they are treated courte-
ously, kindly, and with consideration.
Great business houses find that it is
impossible to carry ON extensive trade
without the practise of courtesy; and
they vie with n another in securing
the kindliest, the most obliging en-
ployees as ambassadors representing
them in their business. they know
that they can not afford to have their
interests jeopardized by objectiona-
BILE, Indifferent clerks. They know
that it will not pay to build attrac-
tive stores, to advertise and display
their goods, to do everything possible
to bring customers to them, and then
have them turned away by disagree
able repellent clerks. They know that
a clerk that will attract trade will
not cost any more, n is worth ten
times as much as one who drives GUS
toners away.-Success Magazine.
