The Get Together Idea

Too many of us are strangers
to each other in this community,
where we should all be brothers
aud dwell together in unity for
the common good of all.
And that is because there are
entirely too many hard and fast
cliques and sets, with each im
merseu in its own shell and
never a peep at the light of outer
day
We need a common ground for
meeting where neighbor greeJs

THE G|ET-TOGETHER SPIRIT

Every town that is a town
has the get.together spirit.
Merchant and farmer and the
people generally work for a
better town, better living condi-
tons, batter amusements, and
more personal freedom. Here
are some rules of the get-to-
gethers:
The town and the farming
community cannot succeed
without Co cooperation and mu-
tual assistance.
Farmers should forget the
wild charges of the demasogues
and consider their own interests
in relation to the railroads and
better railroad facilities. Leg
%islation against business in
terests is not always best for
the farmer.
Help the people of adjacent
towns to make the towns alive
Don't have the town nearest
you a dead one.
Rural prosperity depends
upon the ease with which ship.
ments are made. Railroads
don't like the dead towns.
Don't back legislation that will
kill the town.
Farmers should buy from
home dealers. Keep your
money in the community
where it adds to the CONNER.
cial life of everyone in the
town.
Every dollar the farmer puts
into his adjacent town helps
him; it adds to the value of
his own holdings
The town merchant should
make the farmers welcome.
Keep the things he wants to
buy and sell them at a price
which he is willing to pay.
Make the town so live that
people will want to come there
to spend the week end. People
avoid the dead town.
Don't let people tell you that
Il live town is hell bent for
perdition.' Prosperity depends
on the attractiveness of the
town.
Let the farmer know that
YOU are trying to help him as
we'll as to help yourself.
The town merchant should
advertise so that the farmer
may know where he can buy
his goods and come for them.
The farmer says to the mer.
chant Show me-. Show him
by advertising what you have
TO sell.
Get toeether.-Ex.

In Memory Of Vellar Smith Bullerd.

When her future seemed the
brightest,
When her soul perhaps was whitest
The angel made his sad, sad call,
She bid farewell forever,
With her We'll mingle never
Til that great day shall come to
one and all.
We II never more hear ringing
Her cultured voice in singing,
For she's gone to that paradise
above,
The earth is lost in sadness,
1t almost seems like madness
To try to live without her ten
der love.
We've had three days intervention
Since the event which | mention,
And the angel once again swoops
to this home.
This time he takes her mother,
May this upward take her brothers.
While in the city fair the two
shall reign.
We're truly bent in sorrow
And wonder if tomorrow
Will ever paint a scene sad like
this.
Her brothers now are pining,
Her fathers health is declining,
And he'll never see another day
of bliss.

Automobile Convention.

AutOmOD1le uedieIS IIOIn AZ
kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Alabama and Kentucky meeting
at Memphis, February $40, held
the first convention of its kind
ever called in the South, and ac-
cording to Mr. w ] Brinkley, local
representative of the Chalmers
Motor Company of Detroit, who
has just returned, the meeting
more than fulfilled expectations.
I'VE learned some things about
the automobile industry we need
ed to learn" said Mr. Brinkley.
Not only about technical points
of the business which had to do
with craftsmanship and with gen.
eral conduct of the business, but
we found through information
furnished by Mr. Paul Smith, vice
president of the selling division
of the Chalmers Motor Co. OF
Detroit, that we have been placed
on the same basis with other mer-
chants. That is to say, the auto
industry has become recognized
to the extent where an auto is a
commodity with value just as a
bale of cotton in the warehouse or
wheat in the mill.
Mr.. Smith was privileged to
announce that the Agricultural
Credit Co., of Chicago, capitalized |
at So, 900, 900 is prepared to lend
money to auto dealers and users
at the usual banking interest of 6
per cent per annum. In this way
a man may purchase car and use
it while he is paying for it. The
Company is prepared to lend $780,
900, 900 this year-possibly more
if required. The men on its board
of directors bear names to conjure
with in Wall street. They are
big type letter men in the Wall
Street Blue Book, who alone rep
resent wealth estimated at $780,
600, 900, and the thing which APP
peals to me outside of the cheap
rate of interest is the fact that the
Agricultural Credit Co. has here
tofore loaned money only on agri-
cultural implements. Under the
arrangement made through the
c h m e r s Motor Car Co.,
the dealer and the user will both
be relieved of heavy financial bur
den and in handling their bust
ness will have to pay only the
usual and recognized banking in
terest rate.
The Memphis convention
brought together more than sixty
representative dealers from FIVE
states. All of the visitors were
the guests of the Chalmers Motor
Car Co., which was represented
by Paul Smith, Vice President of
the selling division; F H Smith,
assistant sales manager; L A Pat
ton, of the advertising council and
Ben Bernard, Southern district
manager of the Company.
All hotel accommodations,
meals and amusements were fur
nished the guests by the Chalmers
Motor Car Co. The convention
lasted two days and in the Ian
guage of Mr. Brinkley, was
chuck full of food, fun and auto.
mobile learning"
Incident to the convention,
Paul Smith predicted that gasoline
will shortly reach thirty cents per
gallon mark. Mr.. Smith said he
was not p1eprred to state a reason
for the steady advance, but be-
lieved that the heavy export to
warning countries was as good as
any.
