PATE BEGINS DUTY
AS MARKET HEAD
Memphis Has One Cent Per
Pounds Advantage in Hog
Rates Over st. Louis.

Memphis should and can be devel-
oped into the marketing center for the
agriculture! products OF the entire Mem
phis territory Of the tri-states. 1t is an
entirely logical possibility.
This is the statement by H. o. Pate,
the director Of the new marketing bu-
reau Of the Chamber Of Commerce bu-
rea of farm development, who arrived
in Memphis Saturday morning to as
sumo his new duties from A. and M.
college, ~Starkville, Miss. where he has
been serving at the head of the mar
keting department and as a professor
Of agriculture and economics.
The first purpose Of the marketing
bureau shall be, however, said Mr.. Pate,
to market the farmers product. Along
with the development Of markets for
agricultural products a constant effort
will be made to swing the main current
Of the products into Memphis and make
Memphis the buyer or distributor OF the
majority; but this will be lone only II
can be accomplished by way of giving
the farmers OF the territory the best
possible market for what they produce.
While Memphis is being developed to
its right position in the marketing field
the bureau will see that the farmer
places his stuff where 1t will command
the best prices. wherever that may be.
There is a we'll developed desire on
~ paw Va Tx q lilOiS VI VIC NSIIltOEy
TO market their products in Memphis,
Mr.. Pate further said, and they win
do so whenever Ii Is possible without
loss to themselves. A. regrettable lack
of confidence In the Memphis market
possesses the farmer OF the territory,
Mr.. Pate said, but the bureau will en-
deavor to remove this distrust and ulti-
mately show that II is to the best ad-
vantage OF all to market here.
Memphis will haze the advantage over
more distant markets, he stated, in the
saving OF freight and shrinkage. As
an Illustration Of this statement, MIR.
Pate referred to live stock. 1t costs to
market live stock at st. Louis and other
distant markets from this territory
about N cents a pound, while It can
be marketed in Memphis at about one
half cent. because Of the saving in
freight and ~shrinkage in transit.
Mr.. Pate refrained from going into
the details Of his plans for developing
markets for tri-state products, because
he desires first to submit his ideas for
the approval of the bureau. But he did
state that full market information will
be compiled at regular intervals for dis
tribution to the farmers of the terri
tory and the buyers in Memphis and
other markets.
Memphis will reap benefits from the
marketing bureau even before she be-
comes the great marketing center of
the region, said Mr.. Pate. because II the
market their products to greater ad-
vantage and make more n they
will come more often to Memphis to
trade.
1t will probably take several years to
establish Memphis as the best market
ing point for tri-state products, said
Mr., Pate.

Range Gun.

CoBLENZ, Feb. 15.-The allies have
taken steps to gain possession Of n
of the long-range guns which the Ger

garding the l~ong-range guns have as
serted that all the crews who were
assigned to the ask OF handling the
big Berthas' we're sworn to secrecy

Continued from Third Page)

the publicity branch of this commit
tee was appointed to meet with the
county commissioners at their past
session and present the matter to
them. They were accompanied by Mr..
Louis Duval. who made such telling
speech that the commissioners agreed
TO attend to the matter at once. The
commissioners hope to get the CO.
operation of the Goodrich people In
this matter. This committee will also
have signs placed on all of the main
roads leading into Ocala which will
read something like this: Welcome to
Ocala," Free Camping Grounds"
Visit Ocala's Rest Room" "See Sill
yer Springs" etc.
The little towns south of US are
overrun with tourists. Why should
they not stop at Ocala? With her
natural beauty, her camping grounds,
her splendid hotels and boarding
houses, her progressive and hospitable
citizens and her wonderful Silver
Springs only six miles away by boule-
ward, why should not Ocala take a
foremost place on the tourist map
instead of being practically unknown?
If we can hold the tourists for awhile,
the hospitality committee will en-
deavor TO make it so pleasant for
them that they will want to return.
The members of this committee think
that Ocala is the prettiest, incest lit
tie town in the state and hope to make
all those who come here feel as htey
do.
After all, the secret of the tourist
proposition is hospitality" which is
so well expressed in the following
from the st. Augustine Record. By
just changing the name of the town
selves, do you think it fits Ocala?
"Ocala has every advantage neces-
sary to make it an ideal tourist town.
1t has beauty, history, climate and ac-
commodations unexcelled in Florida
or California. and some of the best
people in the world live in Marion
county. But the winter visitor will
never know how charming you are if
he does not meet you. Make the
tourist feel at home. Let him know
that there is something to you besides
person to take his money. Meet
him with an open hand extended for
ward to grasp his, not back of you
to receive his coin. Tell the winter
resident that Ocala is good town to
live in, to invest in and to be a part of
permanently. The man who tells a
stranger that Ocala is dead and
poor investment is not entitled to en-
joy the privileges of living here nor
is he due the respect and confidence
of his fellow citizens; he should be
held in contempt by every lover of
home, and his selfish life ought to be
made so miserable for him that he
would hang his head and hunt a new
habitat. And another thing. When
you talk to the visitors, don't knock
your neighbors. Do not abuse the
other mans business or his property.
Don't let the tourist think that half
the town hates the other half. Don't
let him know that 20 uare slave of
Jealousy and prejudice. Nobody
wants to live in town that is divided
against itself by dozen petty fac
tions. Remember the tourists don't
have to stop here; they can go to
dozens of other Florida towns where
brotherly love is not only preached,
but practiced. Keep your troubles
to yourself"
