"The Pageant Of the West"

Probably the greatest historical pa
geant ever seen in America is being
arranged in Denver for the entertain
ment of the thousands of visitors to
the International German Turnfest
next June. This pageant will occupy
the whole of several days, and will in
clude hundreds of magnificent floats
and thousands of costumed actors.
The affair will be named the "Pa-
geant of the West" 1t will depict
the transition of the vast country west
of the Mississippi river from the hap
py hunting ground of the Indian tribes
to land of magnificent cities and
progressive civilization, 1t will be of
a character and on a scale that are
absolutely new to the people of the
United States.
Early portions of the pageant will
show the Indians of a hundred years
ago. Hundreds of real Indians, men,
bers of the tribes now living in Colo
RADIO and adjoining states, will be used
in the parade. The floats will repre-.
sent Indian camps of those early days.
Later sections of the pageant will
show the next steps-the coming of
the scouts, and then the cattlemen and
miners. The Indian wars will be de-
picted by hundreds of costumed men
and women. Then will be shown the
steady recession of the Indians, and
the development of the lard by the
ranchmen. Some of the most noted
cowpunchers and cattlemen of the
present time will appear in the pa
geant, representing the details of the
life they lived when they first came to
the West.
Through these various stages will
be shown the marvellous change that
has come over the whole west Indians
of the present day-farmers, college
students and well dressed women and
children march in the parade to
show the present condition of their
race.
Subsequent portions of the pageant
will show the part the German Turner's
have played in the history OF the west
All of the floats will be extremely
elaborate. The attention of the visit
ors from all over the world will be
taken up with the magnitude of the
pageant. The Turnfest takes place

Advertiser With a Plan
Copyright 1917 by George E. Patterson

There is as much difference be-
tween an advertiser with a plan
and an advertiser without a plan
as there is between the builder of
a fine residence with plan and
the builder of residence without
q plan. Whether in the building
of building or the building of a
business the same rule holds true
success or failure is just the
difference between planning before
building and building before plan
ming. In the one instance the re-
suit is fixed and certain, while in
the other instance it is like taking
leap in the dark.
In all the catalogue of business
activity the merchant as class is
operating without definite selling
plans, and the merchant class is
failing in business at the rate of 95
out of every 100.
The average merchant buys his
goods, hires his clerks, opens his
doors for business and goes after
the money-the natural effect of
business activity. He says by his
conduct: "I'm after the mon."

paid, others are not.
"There is no real government in
Tennessee.
"The people get along because
the majority of them are moved by
a desire to do the right thing.
"The majority of our State and
county officials are incompetent
and a few of them are moved by
that high motive of desiring to do
service to the State and to the peo-
pie because the work is patriotic,
"The State government of Ten
nessee is run by the politicians
and for the politicians.
"They fool the people and
strange to say-the people do not
seem to care.
"Why these things in Tennes-
see? Because we elect men to Office
who best play the game of politics
and the fitness of these men for the
Offices desired is minor Incident"
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1913-08-29

There is nothing SO distasteful to
the trading public as merchant
whose only purpose is to get their
money. The people want value
received and satisfaction for every
dollar expended, and the merchant
who embarks in business with the
determination to render the public
the best service possible has really
adopted good selling plan, and is
headed toward the goal of a perm
anent and profitable mercantile
business.
The selling plan is incomplete,
however, without definite adver-
tising plan. 1t is said that over rs
per cent of the money spent for
advertising is waste because Of
no definite advertising plan. And
yet, in the face of this appalling
waste, the majority of merchants
go at this great problem of busi-
ness building with their eyes shut.
They should open their eyes to the
situation and become master sales
men, which includes salesmanship
on paper. The master salesmen
are the master business builders.

The Trouble in Tennessee

Commissioners of Agriculture

other five years, we will be pro
ducing in Tennessee.
You have heard it said, "Thert
is no lane SO long without a turn.
We are rounding the tnrn. The
high cost of living is helping us
Fhe faithful few have been work.
ing long for better agriculture
They have succeeded in interest.
ing few in different portions OF
the State. These few have been
improving their land and practic.
ing modern scientific methods
Now with the prevailing high
prices and their increased pro.
duction they are prospecting.
The newspapers, always in the
forefront of progress, are lending
their aid in popularizing agricul-
ture as vocation and in the dis
semination of information valuable
to the farmer. The railroad man.
ayers are awake to the great value
of progressive agricultural Sec
tion along their lines and are lend
ing every possible intelligent aid
to the development of the farm
land along their lines.
Those at the head of the public
school system of the State have
changed their policy and now en-
courage the teachings of agricul-
ture and domestic science. The
progressive man is now regarded
as the shrewd man of business.
The comic supplements of the
Sunday papers no more caricature
the farmer as the hay seed and the
country pumpkin. The leaders in
agricultural development are elm
mating the theorist and putting in
his place the teacher and lecturer
who talks practical common sense
in language that the farmer can
understand.
While we are importing many
things we should be raising at
home; while there is still evidence
of neglect and Indifference on the
part of the farmers of the past, we
are going to decrease the imports
with home products and we are
going to cover with a mantle of
green the CALLED hilsides, evidences
of the poor farming of our prede-
cessors. Then we can in truth
boast of the richness, grandeur
and beauty of our own redeemed
Tennessee.

OUR GOVERNMENT.

That the State government of
Tennessee is notoriously bad is
admitted by all right thinking peo-
pie, says the Waverly Democrat.
AS long as we continue to place
laws on our statute books without
providing for their enforcement,
regardless of individual or politi-
cal factional opposition, this mis-
cradle state of affairs will continue.
No law ought ever to be passed
without carrying with it rigid pro-
vision for it's enforcement. Then
if it is bad law it will be repealed.
In an editorial which appeared in
the Memphis Commercial Appeal
recently on the poor State govern
ment in Arkansas, Mississippi and
Tennessee, the miserable farce
which is being enacted in this State
was commented on as follows:
"What miserable mess our
people are making of State gov
ernment.
"That the machinery of the
State does not entirely collapse is
because of that we'll defined coher-
ency which men have discovered
in graft and in incompotency.
In Tennessee we are tarred

as that in Mississippi. The differ
ence is in the form of the abuses.

faulted, have not stolen outright
because the laws are so shaped
that graft is legalized.

tax system. This system is not
fragrant in Memphis because the
men in charge seem to have still
justified sense of wright and wrong.
"In East and Middle Tennessee
these back tax agents swarmed up
and down the country and have
been a greater curse to the people
than Sherman's hummers when
they passed through Georgia,

INDIAN MOUND.

B. W. Merwin, representing the
Peabody Museum of Harvard Un-
iversity, assisted by G. W. Bishop
of Columbia University, have just
completed excavations in Indian
mounds in the northern part of
Henry County, which have ex-
tended over two months time.
They have employed at least two
workmen all the time and part of
the time as many as fifteen men.
A large amount of excavating
was done and at one place they
excavation human skull in good
state of preservation and numer-
GUS human bones. Quantities of
pottery was found, nearly all of
which shown an intricate woven
design, and a large number of
weapons, such as arrow heads,
hatchets, etc. There were few
rude hoes found and one or two
pipes, some of which were saved.
One very unusual feature was
the uncovering, about ten feet
from the surface of the mound, of
the site of what, according to the
experts, must have been house.
The places where the pillars Of
the house were could easily be de-
termined and the difference be-
tween the color of ground marking
the site of the house and that
about it gave an outline of the
foundation by which it could be
traced with utmost care.

PARCEL POST CHANGES.

The changes in the parcel post
system, which became effective on
August 15, include an increase
from IL to 20 pounds in the maxi
mum weight of parcels; material
reduction in the postage rates in
the first and second zones, and the
abandonment of the parcel map as
means of computing rates and
the substitution of rate chart in
dividualized to every postofice in
the United States.
While for the present the maxi
mum weight limit of 20 pounds
and the reduction of rates will ap-
ply only to the first and second
zones, from any given postoffice-
a distance of aobut $50 miles-the
changes directed by Postmaster
General A. S. Burleson, who plans
for the extension and improvement
of the parcel post, constitute the
first long step toward a universal
extension of the system and also
general reduction in the rates of
postage on parcel matter.
Mr.. Burleson announced the
change as follows:
"The first zone shall include the
territory within the local delivery
of any Office and the first zone rate
of postage will apply to all parcel
post mail deposited at any office
for local delivery by city carrier or
on rural routes emanating from
that postofice.
"The second zone shall include
the remainder of what is now the
first zone together with the pres
ent second zone, and shall include
all the units of area located in
whole or in part within a radius of
approximately $50 miles from any
postoffice.
"The rate of postage on parcels
weighing in excess of 4 ounces in
the proposed first zone will be re-
duced from 5 cents for the first
pound and l cent for each addi-
tional pound or fraction thereof to
5 cents for the first pound and l
cent for each additional two pounds
or fraction thereof, and the rate
for the second zone will be reduced
from 5 cents for the first pound
and 3 cents for each additional
pound or 6 cents for the first
pound and 4 cents for each addi-
tional pound or fraction thereof to
5 cents for the first pound and l
cent for each additional pound or
fraction thereof.
"The maximum weight of parcel
post packages will be increased
from IL pounds to 20 pounds, the
increase of weight to apply only to
the first and second zones. No
change has been made in the size
or form of the packages"

rye, potatoes, apples, milk, butter,
meats cheese-all staple products
In Tennessee and all can be pro-
duced right here in the State as
well and as cheap as they can be
produced anywhere. The money
paid out that leaves the State runs
into millions of dollars. Why
should this money leave the State
when the products it pays for can
be produced better here?
Since earliest childhood we have
heard orators grow eloquent over
our matchless resources, the great
fertility of our soils, the abundance
and purity of our water, the luxur-
ance of the grass in onr meadows,
our fields of golden grain and our
herds of cattle and focks of sheep,
30 hear them one would think
Tennessee veritable El Dorado.
The pictures they portray are
both pleasing and possible. Our
Creator has made them possible,
but what have we been doing?
Have we been using as we should
this possible El Dorado? 1t does
not appear that we have, when we
enumerate the many things we are
importing into Tennessee. 1t does
not look it when we travel over the
State and see the many evidences
of abuse this favored land has been
subjected to. We see CALLED and
washed hillsides We see weeds
and briars growing where should
be waving the golden grain.
The herds and focks are few
and far between. There is much
we find thu does not fit in the pic
lures we have heard so eloquently
painted so many times. | would
prefer to follow in the same vein if
facts would bear we out, but you
know they would not. So long as
we import the staples we now i'm
port when they should and could
be produced here we had better
face the music, find out the cause,
and try to remedy it.
The cause-broadly stated-is
want of interest in the agriculture
ofthe State. There has been much
activity for several years in the de-
velopment of mineral and timber
resources. This has necessitated
increased mileage of railroads.
With the railroads, came manu-
featuring establishments. New
cities and town have grown up, all
increasing the consumption OF
farm products and at the same
time decreasing farm production
because the increased demand for
labor was largely supplied from
our farms. Then. too, the public
schools in the past have educated
the boys and girls away from the
farm instead of to the farm.
The country schools have been
neglected'in a measure. The new,
inexperienced teachers have been
sent to the country schools The
boys and girls have had held upto
them as ideals men end women
who have become famous in some
of the professions and encouraged
to qualify themselves for profess
sional careers.
Farmers, if they secured educa-
tional advantagesfor theirchildren'
had to move to the towns and vii
lagos. The boy and girl neither
had chance to see or hear any,
thing to encourage them to stay on
the farm. It is not to be wondered
at that they wanted to get away
from the farm and it is easy to un-
derstand why we are importing SO
much that we should be producing
in Tennessee aud that, before an
