When Carey Oldham called the
house to order after a most substan-
tial meal during the MONDAY lun-
eheon hour by the Chamber Of Com
merce at Hotel Rogers, it was eyi-
dent that there We're many things
to talk about and effort was made
to dispatch business as rapidly as
possible.
Three very important matters were
taken up and If carried out will mean
much to WaNahaChie. 1t is hardly
necessary TO add a part of the above
sentence because Waxahachie bust
ress men always carry out their
plans and add something additional
TO them as they go. To be brief it
was decided at the luncheon that
Waxahaehie would hold a spring
style show, a farmers encampment
and the Commercial club would per-
feet the organization of the ladies

kind in Texas. These three things
can be made very useful to Waxaha-

each and every business enterprise in

desired all must cooperate. The
