WHY fOl- SHOULD pATkoNiIE
HOME INSTITUTION >

Never did the charming Mrs FAN
utter a more beautiful truth than
" hen she said THE good you do this
year may be picked mp by some one
else in after years,
and the reverse is equally true,
for every dollar that We spend out
of Waxahachie now, will have its
effect on her in years to come.
She is now III her infancy and
needs our fostering care and helr
as also do her institutions. II We
want a large, prosperous. beautiful
city we must support her institu-
tions.
Her lawyers, her physicians, her
merchants, her professional men,
her farmers and laboring men and
women must all be patronized in
preference to other towns,
Because We all depend upon each
other as our town grows, our homes
grow more beautiful and increase ia
value. Our churches and schools
become greater and more inHuen-
tial. while the farm lands are more
valuable as a natural consequence.
What would Dallas be today II
half her natives had traded i'll Fort
Worth and the county had patron
ICED mali order houses. thus failing
to patronize home Institutions?
Her people were loyal to their
town and now they have the blessed
ness Of knowing that ihey did what
they could in building their beautiful
city.
What would the Methodist church
be if all her members supported the
institutions of some other church?
You may say, "Oh We'll what
little / spend out of Waxahachie
will neither make or break it."
Thousands of others have said the
same thing and so We fail to do our
part, however small. to make a
prosperous and growing city
If we want our homes and lands
to decrease in value, our city prop
erty to rent for II song, all improve
ments to stop, then let us fail to sup
port our home institutions.

derful, wonderful year for busi-
ness and progress in the sunny
Southland.
A year ago, Southern farmers
were glad to get six cents pound
for cotton. Now it appears that a
fifteen-cent price may be reached
before long. The figure already
has climbed from seven to ten
cents, following England's classi-
fication of the product as contra
band.
The important thing about the
cotton crop, next to the advanced
price, is the fact that no other cot
ton crop has been grown so eco
nor1ically as has this one. Only
a little over half the usual amount
of commercial fertilizer has been
used, and the net balance for the
farmers amounts to hundreds of
millions of dollars, much of which
will be spent for improvements
and conveniences.
OF equal, if not greater impor-
tance than the rich cotton crop, is
the far-reaching significance in
the enthusiastic and successful
way agriculturists below the Ma
son and Dixon" line have taken
to general farming. Stock. raising
and dairying are rapidly becom-
ing vital interests, while trial
has proved that miscellaneous
crops prosper under Southern con-
di ions.
The ten year average yield Of
corn in the South was 52S, 900 900
bushels a year; this year, experts
believe it will be 77S,000, 900
bushels-an increase of nearly so
per cent.

CAN'T AFFORD TT.

The other day a merchant
said he couldn't afford to adj
vertise in his home newspaper
If the mans view were not
distorted, he would see that
he couldn't afford not to adver-
tise. Refusing to advertise is
his most expensive extrava-
gance. That same merchant
will spend hours telling Of the
unfair competition of the
mail-order houses who are his
most aggressive and danger
Gus competitors, yet the meth
DDS employed by the mail
order houses which succeed
are the very ones which the
merchant refuses to use. The
mail-order house first of all is
an ADVERTISER. Adver-
tising is the life of its businses
Every magazine that enters
the small town and rural home
carries the ad of the mail-order
house. Expensive catalogs
are printed showing the illus
trations of the actual articles.
Occasionally sheets are scat
tered broadcast over the coun-
try as a special "come on" for
the bargain hunter. Instead
Of doing these things la a
smaller way through the col
umns Of his local paper, the
merchant who can't afford to
advertise sits down and cusses
his tough luck and wonders
why he can't get the business.
He never thinks he has a bet
ter opportunity to reach the
people in his neighborhood
than the mail-order house has.
1t doesn't cost him as much as
it does the outsider; he can
draw the people to his store
and show them the actual ar
ticle he is advertising; and
when they buy. they can take
their purchase home with
them instead of having to wait
several weeks for it. Adver-
tising is an investment. 1t
should be charged to your
selling cost. Figure what
percentage you have to pay to
advertise, then base a fifty-two
weeks campaign on the com
putation, You emit lose.
You can't afford NOT to ad-
vertise!

ARMY STILL LEADS
COLLEGE BATSMEN
Keeps in Winning Stride
and Team Average Is
Over 300 Mark.

The Army nine continued TO show
the way TO the college baseball teams
last week, winning al three of its
games and maintaing its batting aver
age well over the 800 mark. Among
the Army's victims was Harvard,
which began its annual spring trip
with a defeat at the hands OF the
cadets.
In addition to leading the colleges
IN team batting, Prichard, the Army
shortstop, is the real leader among the
individual batters, and Neyland, the
big pitcher, has record far surpass-
ing any other college twirler. Pricn-
ard in five games has hit for an aver
age of $50, and Coffin, his team mate,
in seven games has compiled an aver
age OF 800 In the box Neyland has
won seventeen straight games and has
not met defeat since being beaten by
Fordham in the spring Of 1913.
Harvard is taking a long time in
getting started and is far down in the
team batting averages. Dartmouth Is
close up to the Army, and Columbia,
Syracuse and the Navy follow in or
der. Princeton, Cornell and Yale are
punched, with averages Of .236, .22o
and .226, respectively, and then come
Brown, Pennsylvania, Harvard, AM
herst and Williams.
The records follow:
