is distinctly a business PROPOSE.
lion.
Take this short lesson, allow
ing for Sundays and a few days
fishing, you are on the job ap-
proximately three hundred days
in the year with 100000 spent
for rent, 100000 for clerk hire,
$4,000 for water, lights, taxes,
insurance. etc., 5000 90 for a por-
ter and $780, 90 for incidentals.
You are operating on an invest
ment of $35OO.OO and you are do.
ing a 500, 10000 business.
You spent 100000 out of the
business to keep up your family
and your invoice shows you made
$500. 90 additional.
Charge off $500. 90 for deprecia-
ton in stock and accounts you
will be unable to collect and we
find that you, a long headed bust
ness man with $35OO.OO in real
money, have shaved through an
entire year and risked your capt.
tai in order to make a living and
lay up a measly two hundred dol
lars.
d. you know what's the matter
with you? Instead Of getting up
on your hind feet, advertising,
going after business right and
selling thirty or thirty-five thous-
and dollars worth, you haven't
needed advertising" and you
have been content to hang around
the front door and swap jokes
with the neighbor merchant when
YOU might have had a store full
of customers all the time.
Let the examples of the Paris
Medicine Co., and the National
Toilet Co., light the way for you.
But for the money spent in ad-
vertising, E. W. Grove might
still be rolling pills in a dingy
drug store and Walter Johnson
might be wrestling with clothing
trunks and catching midnight
trains as of yore.
Take a tip from US, your one
best bet is to advertise and as in
the case of the street car company
there are none so securely fixed
commercially that they can afford
to sheer at advertising.

To a big husky fellow who feels
that the world owes him liv.

Notice to Board Of Public Works.

The attention of the Board of
Public Works is called to the con-
dition of North M arket street
which is sorely in need of gravel.
Perhaps as much or more traffic
comes in over this street than
any other in she city and yet in
wet weather it is as muddy and
in dry as dusty as a tie hackers
trail in Sandy bottom.

goeth before destruction and a
naughty spirit before a fall
Last summer, the writer saw
almost every reputable business
concern in the city of Memphis,
in the interest of an attractive
advertising proposition.
He didn't close a contract with
all of them by any means but
there were only two who said
they didn't need to advertise, .
the Memphis Steam Laundry and
the Memphis Street Railway Co.
The mills of the gods are said
to grind slowly" but in dealing
with the Street Car Co., of Mem
phis, they seem to have gotten
the speed bug and slipped into
third" as within six months from
the time that Mr.. Tutwiler, the
company's big noise" lay back
in a big easy chair in his hand
somely appointed office and in
formed the writer that all the
money the Memphis Street Rail-
way Company spent for any sort
of advertising was given to char
ity' as the company would get
the business anyhow" we find
them out in a twenty page pam
phlet trying to define the relative
positions of the jitney, the street
car company and the dear peo-
ple."
Do you know what this is the
outcome of?
1t is due to the fact that there
are today 400 automobiles of all
sizes and kinds operating on the
streets of Memphis for five cent
fares. giving better service than
the street car company and Incl
dentally reducing the daily earn,
ings of that great monopoly
which needed no advertising"
from one thousand to fifteen
hundred dollars.
You can easily figure up the
enormous total when you remem.
Der that the street car runs
seven days in a week and there
are fifty two weeks in a year.
Mr.. Business Man, If you have
a business that is 'loing any bust
ness, you are doubtless so busy
attending to the business of your
business that you have had no
time to find out what business
you have spending money in the
advertising business and as we are
in the advertising business, it is
our business TO show you how you
can increase your business by
awaiting yourself of the aid Of

MEMS SOCIAL.

Last Monday evening marked
a memorable event in the Metho-
dist church, the occasion being
a mems social get-together meet
ing. Among the speakers were
DR.. G. E. DUNCAN, who gave an
amusing talk on Nonsense, "
in which he told of actual occur
rences during his youth, eliciting
much applause.
Prof. ]. l. Cochran of the
Holly public schools was the next
speaker, whose humorous selec-
ton convulsed the audience with
laughter.
Guy Robertson was heard to
advantage in a piano solo, the
High School quartet rendered
pleasing number, while Miss
Morris presided at the piano.
Refreshments were served by
members Of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety, thus ending a pleasant
evening for all present.

disgrace. Nothing will impair a man 3
standing in community more than con-
tracing the habit OF making small debts
and letting them run on indefinitely. It's
the little things, after all, that are the
test of character. There isn't person in
Hume but who is able to pay the little
debts he owes, yet when he neslects them
he is placed in the same category as the
fellow who won't pay. The result is he
suffers. l have known men who were
close friends to become estraneed over a
sfty-cent debt.
There is another side to the question
-Credit. The man who takes care of
his obligations has a credit he can draw
on when it stands in his need. A banker
said few days ago: A man doesn't
necessarily have to be rich to secure a
loan made when he needs it. The poor
man who has the reputation of looking
after his obligations has better credit at
bank than the rich man who can pay
and neslects to do so. "
In boosting the "Pay.Up" idea, Mr..
Moore preached to his readers thuswise:
TO promote friendship and good feel
ing among your neishbors and friends,
hunt up those you owe during the COM
ing "Pay.Up Week" and square the &C.
count. Don't wait on the other fellow
you see him first. Then make it habit
on the first day of each month. If you
owe more than you can pay-pay what
you can. Let your creditors know that
you haven't forgotten your obligations.
1t's more honest and more manly than
lodging them year in and year out
Wouldn't it be only fair to them and to
yourself?
"Now, let's all Get in the game "Pay.
Up week." beginning with the editor,
and inas&urate better community spirit.
Not simply because this paper proposed
it, but because it is right. We ha, en't
deluded ourself into believing that the
"Pay-Up" question would be bowling
success. 1t won't!
First, because there are some people
who have a super-abundance of false
modesty when someone else proposes a
thing. Second, because there are others
who never intend to pay what they owe
unless threatened with legal procedure.
But the good citizen who wishes to estab-
lish a credit will hunt up the little matters
that have been neglected, and clean tho
slate for a new start"

Holly was well represented in
the audience, and in every way
it was a most enjoyable evening.
But this is not the only way in
which Holly profited. Aside from
expenses. Mr.. Cochran has gen
erously decided to give his share
of the proceeds. amounting to
about $25. 90, to q school fund for
the purchase of some needed
magazines to be used in connec-

only the school should appreciate,
but the town of Holly as we'll.

COOLIDGE BOYS
and GIRLS PLAY
BASKETBALL HERE

Holly Armory Aglow With Youth
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Good.
On Saturday last the boys and
girls of Coolidge came here for a
friendly game of basketball.
They were not a weakling group
by any means, but good team
work won both games for the
Holly players. The games were
fast from start to finish and seem
to have been thoroly enjoyed by
the fans. Holly is fortunate
in having material for two excell-
ent basketball teams. With Ida
johnson at forward, throwing
baskets as she does at present,
and Mabel Rockwell with energy
enough for the entire team. the
outlook is hopeful. Kathleen
Hill at center, tho not so tall as
most opposing centers, is quick
in recovering the ball; and Ruth
Christopher is the making of the
quickest side center to be found
in almost any girls basketball
team. Our guards, Eulalah Keith
and Lillian Seastrand, need no
further commentator than to
say that thruout the game Cool
idge got but a few chances to
throw for basket. AS substitut-
es, Katie Rockwell and Opal
Conklin are so nearly equal to
the team players that it is indeed
extremely difficult to choose
first team. A number of the
other girls play we'll, and may
before the season closes, win a
place on the team.
The boys Of the team are fast
developing a system of almost in
;,,stis ti;s .e.,.t es.: s.-c ss.s-cf K. Beinarss;
at ceg is jumping we'll and
forms 4 splendid nucleus for rap
id plays. At forward Cores is
surprising everybody, even him
self, in the way he covers the
floor and throws baskets from
difficult positions. Two other
players are contesting closely for
the other forward position, Clar-
ence Newbanks and Adolphus
Keith. At guard we have four
men capable of playing the posi-
tions against the best of for
wards. Herbert Newbanks, Ot-
to McMurtry, Homer Rowe and
Russell Bryce are playing like
veterans in these positions. When
we succeed in getting tho for
ward part of the machine adjust
ed we shall, indeed. have a team
hard to beat. This afternoon
both teams go to Granada for
their first games off our own
pastures. They are in good con.
dition so early in the season, and
hope to add two more victories.

MUST COME FROM ENE MIES
German Chancellor Explains Attitude
Toward Peace.

Berlin, Dec. 10.-The imperial Ger
man chancellor, Baron Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, refused to state possible
terms of peace, in reply to the de-
mand made by the German Socialists.
Instead, he made it plain to a great
gathering in the reichstag that any
peace proposals must come from Ger
many's enemies.
"If our enemies make peace pro-
posals compatible with Germans dig
nifty and safety, then we shall always
be ready to discuss them" he as
serted.
And a moment later, continuing:
This wal can only be terminated
by a peace which gives human certi-
tude that it will not return"
He made it clear that, in his opin-
ion, it would be folly for Germany to
propose peace so long as in the
countries Of our enemies the guilt and
ignorance of statesmen are entangled
with confusion and public opinion"

AS MEASURE OF DEFENSE
Mobilization Of Nations Resources
Urged by President.

Columbus, o., Dec. 11.-Prepared-
ness by business men to mobilize the
Of the nation as a measure
of national defense was urged by
President Wilson in a ringing address
before the Columbus chamber of
commerce.. His words were given
added significance by the disputes
pending between the United States
and Austria and Germany.
The president told the business men
that it was impossible to separate
business and life. He declared that
the two are ~inseparable. The history
of business in the United States, he
said, was tied up with the history of
the nation.
