STOCKHOLDERS MEETING
Of West Tennessee Wholesale Gro
Gerry Co.-Dinner at Hotel.

On Saturday, Jan. 16, 1915, some o.
the stockholders and statesmen and othel
jof the employees OF the West Tennessee
Wholesale Grocery Co. met in Martin,
DR.. E. B. Little, assistant general man
ager OF the Union City branch house,
together with statesmen George Stone,
Luther Stroud, s. N. Hall and John S.
Bowln came in on the train from the
west at $3.50 a. m. Statesmen j. B.
Sanders, of Huntingdon, and John A.
Box, of Waverly, arrived on the west
bound train at noon. They, together
with the Martin Office force, marched
in body to the Anderson Hotel, where
special dinner had been prepared for
them. 7. H. Farmer, general man
ager, took his place at the head of one
of the long tables, spoke appropriate
words of greeting and called upon Mr..
Stroud, of Union City, to return thanks.
After partaking of splendid dinner
they went Immediately to the office of
the company and the stockholders held
a meeting and elected the following
officers for the year 1915: w. N. Love-
lace, president; E. N. Lovelace, vice.
president and buyer; T. H. Farmer,

ed are: w. N. Lovelace, T. H. Farmer,
E. N. Lovelace, DR.. E. B. Little, Geo.
E. Farmer, A. D. Fuqua.
Immediately after the election of Off
GERS the statesmen were invited into the
meeting and report of the years work
was made by the secretary, showing the
amount of goods each salesman had
sold in his territory during 1914, as
compared with former years. While
the stringency of the times has caused
quite falling off of sales, and the
company had experienced some failures
over the large territory they work, yet
it was shown they had done fairly we'll
under these adverse conditions. Each
salesman was called on to make speech
and offer any suggestion respecting his
territory, and for the improvement in
order to get better and more business,
etc. These speeches were all very in
teresting and the manager and credit
men no doubt gained much good infor-
nation which will help them in man
aging these respective fields. This was
a very successful meeting and all the
statesmen seemed to be strengthened,
encouraged and more determined to
put forth greater effort to obtain more
and better business for their company
than in any of the years past. After
all the statesmen and others had spoken
making suggestions from their view
point the chairman spoke at some
ength, thanking the employees for their
great loyalty to him and the company,
cling them how much he appreciated
ZACH one of them, and sincerely hoped
o retain the service of every one, that
hey might work together harmoniously
or many years in the future as they
lad in the past.

Converted While a Policeman.

Lincoln Mcconnell was converted
while member of the police force
and determined that he would spend
his time in uplifting men rather
than putting them in Jail. Since
that time he has been able to help
thousands. His experience in deal
ing with criminals makes him an
authority on the subject Crime
and Lawlessness, which is one of
his lecture topics.

A TREE FALLACY.
The Idea That the Branches Rise a.
the Trunk Grows.

tno FUNK SFoWSs
1t is commonly believed that as a
tree grows it elevates the lower branch
es and any other thing firmly attached
to it, As a result. curious stories like
the following circulate:
A Canadian farmer built a barn on
willow posts set In the ground. The
pext spring happened to be wet, and
he noticed that the horses had trouble
in stepping up to the floor on entering.
Finally it dawned upon him that the
willow posts. which by this time had
put out branches and leaves, were
growing and elevating the whole barn.
The process continued until the floor
was some nine or ten feet high.
Then he put in another floor at the
ground level
At the time the story was told this
second floor was four feet from the
ground. and the farmer was hoping for
wet season so that the elevation
might continue until he could put in a
third floor.
1t is impossible to take this tale Sc
riously. but many folks believe stories
with as little foundation. Sometimes
hog tight fence is attached to green
posts. In few years the owner no
tees that good sized pigs can era wi
underneath it. and often he concludes
the green posts have grown and ele-
waited the whole fence.
This elevation, however. happens
also with seasoned posts and Is due
to another cause. Water expands when
it freezes. and in the ground the ex-
pansion cannot be downward or side
wise. so it must be upward. Conse-
quently, every time the ground freezes
the posts are pushed upward a frac-
ton Of an inch. When having occurs
the weight of the fence is not suffi-
cient to push them back.
Thus every freeze means slight ele-
vation. and in the course of three or
four years the fence may no longer be
hog tight.
In the same way wheat Is lifted out
of the ground in the early spring when
the ground freezes for several nights
in succession and thaws in the day
time
Farmers and city dwellers alike be-
lieve that a growing tree elevates its
lower branches; otherwise, they say,
how Is it that three foot cherry tree
in a few years has not a branch with.
in four feet Of the ground? If eleva-
ton really occurred, however, it is diff
ficult to see how we could ever have
low headed tree. and that 1t actually
does not occur is shown by careful OBJ.
servation spread over a number of
years. The lower branches gradually
die as they are shaded by the upper
ones and In the course Of time drop
off. This natural pruning can be seen
in all its stages at the same time in
any fairly dense forest. Here it is
easily seen that only branches in the
light continue to thrive and live.
No branch Is elevated to any extern,
after it is a year old.-Farm and Fire

body, having flaring tails, and "leg
o'mutton" sleeves set in with narrow
frills revived from Victorian styles.
This is worn with voluminous skirt
of net. There is a frock of cotton
crepe, embroidered and hemstitched
in pink with coatee of pink linen;
while a model of wolfe and filet lace
has a jacket of black faille cut on the
bolero order. Indeed there is no end
to the materials. Dolly Warden taf-
fetas, deep old-world pink and bril-
liant blue taffetas, fables and MORE
silks make quaint coates for crino-
line frocks and not few of the bolero
effects are fashioned of lace or fine
embroidery. There is also a lace ma
terial, lately launched on the market
for dresses of this type, the texture
like fine wolfe embroidered with gar
lands in pastel shades.
Aside from the fabrics, accessories
are so attractive, they in no small
measure account for the success of
the lingerie dress, for there is many a
maiden who buys a frock that she
may have the girdle that goes with
it. Although, it is an acknowledged
fact, waists are gradually growing
smaller, the girdle still follows in
straight lines. Loose crush girdles
of taffeta, MORE silk or primly flow
cred belts of narrow grosgrain are
pretty finishes for filmy frocks.
The handkerchief bag is another
fancy, demure as the daguerreotype
from which it is taken. Usually, the
bag is made of the material the same
as the dress, cut in half-circle, shir-
red an inch down from the top and
hung from the belt with cords or rib
bon. The handbag, too, takes on a
new beauty. Soft gathered models of
flowered MORE and striped silk, have
silver tops, that stretch like a brace
let; white leather bags, fiat purses
and gold kid skin cases are lined with
gorgeous Powered and striped silks,
Madame La Mode, not content with
these features alone, insists that mi
lady be up to the ears in style this
season and introduces the feather and
tulle boas to wear with the new lin
gerie dresses.
Hats, too, conform to the new lines
in dress. Large French sailors, tilted
on one side, daily grow in favor; satin
and chiffon facings are being used or

crown. One smart black sailor has the

INVESTING IN STOCKS.
Best Wall Street Tip to Those Anxious
to Buy Securities.

to Buy Securities.
l have noticed during a quarter of a
century's observations that when all
the financial writer's are proclaiming
the merits Of a particular stock and. at
the same time. insiders, who are sup
posed to know all about it, are point
ing out its good points. increasing earn
ings. ETC.. somebody stands waiting to
sell. l have also noticed that when a
stock advances day by day or week by
week without anything being said in
explanation or without any effort be-
ing made to attract attention to 1t there
must be something worth while 60
ing on. especially If transactions in that
stock be large. Perhaps some Of my
observant readers have noticed the
same peculiarities Of the stock market
1t is perfectly natural that when one
wants to sell his goods he should extol
their merits and that If he wants to
buy property he should go about it
quietly and If he has knowledge of its
merits should say as little as possible
about them until he has completed the
purchase. The same motives and prin
ciples that move men to buy and sell
commodities of any kind inspire men
and movements in Wall street
For this reason have advised my
readers who wish to be successful in
specializing not to take tips so freely
given by those who have their own
purposes to serve. but to note with care
the operations of the market and news
that has bearing on the values of Sc
curities. do not mean by this the
rumors that financial writer's and tip
sters give out, but the real news found
in official reports Of declining or in
creasing earnings and the statements
required by law to be made and
sworn to.-Jasper in Leslie's Weekly.

New York, May II, 1915

Nowhere is the American idea of
directness more strongly felt than in
clothes. Paris offers a wealth of ideas
and America selects one. After weeks
of hesitation, while the popularity of
one style or another in the priceless
collection received after the perilous
trip across the Atlantic, quakes in the
balance, the American public, at last,
places emphasis on one chosen fea-
ture and the coatee dress becomes I'M
iversal; not tailored creation, as the
name implies, but a sheer confection
of lace, net or batiste, topped with a
gay silk or lingerie jacket.
So cavalier have fashions become,

era. Like spirits of the old French

tea in the far corner of mulberry
tree; the black wicker furniture, up
holstered in broad stripes, strewn
with apple blossoms, was as striking
in effect as the frocks the girls wore.
A vivacious dark-eyed Miss, who
served tea at the glass-topped table,
carried off we'll the style of the smart
-coatee in a frock that bespoke the
couturier Jenny. The bodice of allover
embroidery, nipped in at the waist as
fashion approves showed from be-
meath the jaunty jacket of dark blue
taffeta silk. The Quakerish collar and
cuffs of white organdy made con-
Meeting link with the billowing folds
or organdy, laid in deep cross-wise
folds, panaled with embroidery and
trimmed with Valenciennes lace which
formed the skirt.
That she was a devotee to the fad
of fancy shoes, one could easily guess,
for her pumps were the last word in
style; the heel, back and vamp was of
patent leather and the uppers of
white kid to match the white silk
stockings. Beside the low chair, a
garden hat carefully dropped, glisten-
ed in the sun, for it was one of the
new dark blue shiny straws. The
crown was circled with tulle with
pond lilies beneath, and, like all other
Observation-Disclosures hats, it had
black velvet streamers attached to the
back; these sprawled on the grass as
% if they were tired of their voyage
through the wind.
The guest of honor, an artist of
fame who is making the best of
war-enforced exile was credit to the
maker of the clothes she wore; what
could be smarter for a woman passed
thirty than a symphony in black and
white? Again the coatee was the
chief detail of the costume; this time
it was a short Zouave jacket of ex-
quisite batiste, heavily embroidered.
1t opened as she lounged in her chair,
showing a waist of plain batiste.
Flouncing, repeated in the sleeves and
skirt yoke, and lower skirt of plain
batiste cut circular that it might flare
the more, needed only the black and
white, blazer striped, girdle to bring
out its style, so perfectly was every
detail worked out.
The skirt cleared the ground by
about four inches; mature women
have all adopted this length as more
becoming than the extremely short
skirt. Below the skirt trim white
buckskin tie laced in black could be
seen. Her white Milan straw, med
ium in size, with brim flaring just
enough to soften her face, sported a
bow of the blazer striped silk and her
slender-handled parasol, resting open
on the back of her chair completed
the picture of an up-to-date woman
well-dressed.
So diverse are the effects gained
with these jackets, it is hard to be-
lieve so many frocks have the same
feature. Here, is coatee of robins

test white silk with butterflies en-
broidered in black outline and clocks
at the sides of black flowers. So ex-
IRENE have the stockings become, that
some well-dressed women are going
back to pure black, especially as they
claim the contrast is more striking.
The white buckskin or black patent
leather and white kid tie or pump is
favored with the lingerie dress, al
though such combinations as white
buckskin and pale blue or pink uppers
are shown in fancy models. One
pump in particular has the pale blue
upper and American shield in pastel
shades placed in front where the
buckle belongs.
