southern MERCHANTS
TO HOLD CONFERENCE
MR.. sYDENsTRIcKER TO SPEAK

That a new direction in the field OF
community building Is shown in the
work of over twoscore commercial or
ganizations in as many Southern cities
that of directly encouraging and assist
ing the development Of agricultural terri
tory adjacent to commercial and trade
centers-will be shown in a report to be
submitted to the Business Mems Con-
ference, to be held in Richmond, Va,
April 1918. by Edgar Sydenstricker, man.
aging editor of the Lynchburg Va) Ad-
vance, and chairman OF the Lynchburg
Chamber of Commerce committee on
agriculture and immigration.
The report contains the results of a
recent inquiry into ''city and country CO.
operation" and furnishes an array OF
detailed data as to the methods, results
and scope of the movement in the South
ern States.
Summarizing the methods employed by
business mems organizations in CO.
operating with farmers for agricultural
progress, Mr.. Sydenstricker says:
"A review of what Southern cities.
through the work of business mems or
ganizations, are doing for the develop
ment of Southern farming, reveals the
fact that in practically every large
Southern town and city there is some ef-
fort being made through one or more
methods. In something over forty CEN
tiers the business men nave consciously
grasped the idea that in order to provide
for a greater food production, a larger
supply of labor, and a richer field for
the expansion of their retail trade, the
Immediately contiguous farm territory
must be more quickly developed and that
every inducement should be afforded to
encourage the country boy and girl to
stay on the farm, rather than to swell
the population of the towns and cities.
Some twoscore or more cities and
towns in nine Southern States are en-
ploying the following methods Of agri-
cultural aid:
by providing educational advan-
tages for the farmer, such/as lectures
by agricultural experts. better farming
demonstrations and demonstration
farms in corporation with State and
national departments, aiding in corn
and tomato club work, holding farm
ers' meetings, &c.
by stimulating better farm produc-
ton through prizes and premiums at
fairs and agricultural exhibits.
by encouraging and cooperating In
financial way for the building and
ma intenance Of permanent highways.
by acting as advertising and immi-
grafton agents for the purpose OF In
creasing the white farm population
through settlers from the North and
West and from Northern Europe"
Delegations from every Southern
State, from numerous commercial or
carnations, as well as representatives
of railways, industrial organizations.
and individual business men will take
part in the Richmond conference.

 One day there came toiling up the long bin on whose crest stood Aunt Hannah's rather gloomy house boy about fourteen years old. He was rag ged and hungry. He was city wait who had left the city behind and was tramDlng. He saw Aunt Hannah in her cucumber patch and opened the gate.
 "wou, bub2" she Queried in her brisk way.
 'I want to live with you for awhile" was the reply
 But you have a lazy look about you"
 "Glmme something to do and see how pll make the dirt 1y.
 After a few more questions and an- swers he was given a slice of bread and butter and set to work.
 Aunt Hannah had always agured that lf robbers came it would be at midnight and that there would be three of them and eacb wearing black mask. She had written down and then committed to memory che very first words she was going to gpeak when she found them bending over her bed and flashing the light from a dark lantern in her eyes,

During the hot months mothers

When trouble results II Is usually in

At the FIRST sign of q summer cold
also give Syrup Pepsin, as the cleaning
