TOO Utopianl' says some hard
headed business man who still be
lieves in the good old give-and-take
methods. Well. Just ask the Neosho
merchants. They are not IN bust
ness altogether for their health.
Too Utopian? But 1t worksl That
proves whetherit is worth while.
Results count; and these merchants
have proved to their entire satjsfac-
tion that honesty is the only policy
that good will and friendliness and
fellow feeling may be combined into
leaven that will completely trans
form the smallest town.
Clarksville Tennessee sent a delega,
tion OF 7 men at d cost OF $500 to
Investigate the way Neosho had fos-
tered community spirit, thereby
bringing In new business to the town
And Clarksville is now carrying out
with wonderful success the idea on
lines developed by the Neosho exper-
iment.
Even the railroads are taking up
this idea OF developing towns thru
arousing community spirit. An Off.
cial OF one railroad heard a member
OF the Neosho club explain It's plan
In an Indiana town. He was SO
struck with It's possibilities that he
had this man address the business
men in several cities served by his
road-and the railroad paid the bill.
To go back to the beginning, a
member of the club expressed the
Neosho idea perfectly when he quot
ed from that familiar bit OF poetry:
Real towns are not made BY men afraid =
Lest somebody else gets ahead,
When everybody works and nobody shirks
You can raise town from the dead.

ssEiow to Keep MY Boy
On The Farm

Agricultural College, Miss. J,
October 5- How to keep my
boy on the farm is q problem
that has no doubt occupied the
bed time as well as day time mo-
ments of many farm men and
farm women in Mississippi. II is
a matter OF record that even az
ter completing the prescribed
course at an Agricultural High
School young men in Mississippi
have lost interest or heart in the
life for which they had prepared
themselves and sought other ac-
tivitIes.
Farm and Fireside issued by
the Crowell Publishing Company
at Springfield, Ohio in it's Sep
tember issue contained q series
of prize letters from individuals
who have faced and successfully
met this problem. They are all
interesting and appealing but one
of them from ii. Il. Alcorn, Has
kins, Oregon, has an especially
keen human interest note, and
may serve to impress many Mis-
sissippi readers by its simple oi-
rect statements.
Mr.. Alcorn's letter is as follows:
"My boy was my pal from the
moment when l heard his first
little wall on q chilly January
morning. Right then | began to
dream dreams of an ideal COM
radeship which ] am sure became
q reality.
"When he donned his first pair
of overails, turned up atleast SIX
inches at the bottom, and his
regular straw hat, we became
partners and that relationship
still exists.
'In blowing time he would
trudge along bravely, holding
the plow handle. When his little
legs were tired, be rolled over my
old coat in the shade and slept.
1t was his special delight to ride
on the harrow, crow ng and clap
ping his hands. / let him think
he was indispensable to me. and
he soon became so.
1--WE both loved horses and he
helped me keep them in trim. He
was as proud of their shining
sides and well-kept name as /,
and often on Sunday morning, he
would say, dad, our team was
the best-looking team in the
churchy ard
"When he was ten / gave him
an orphan lamb; latter on he
claimed pig, and finally a DER
-sey heifer. From his profits he
built up q bank account Of his
own. He was now real help 10
me, often advising me of recent
improvements he had read about
in the farm papers, all of which

To Give the Hair a

Ever since the virtues Of the slmerine
hair curling method first becmG knowing
in this country. druggists here have been
ia wing a really extraordinary demand for

usp among well groOmed women
one need only apply b little of the liquid
witb a clean tooth brush before doing up
the hair and the tresses will have abeauti-
full waVy and glossy appearance which bears
no marks Of artihCiaiity. The best way Is 70
divide the hair into strands and moisten
each Of them from root TO tip. There Is no
discoloration no sticky, streaky or other
unpleasant feature. Liquid silmerine Is hne
also a. an aid in shaping ear nuns and
IL keeping them in place over the ears.
