FORMS
Overall CLUB"

If you are a man or boy and live
around here and don't wear overalls
you don't look right. So go home at
once, get you a pair and put them on.
The spirit of wearing overalls to
combat the high cost of clothing,
which animated in Birmingham, Ala,
a few days ago when 5000 men Of
that city formed what was called an
overall club, has hit Carthage and last
Tuesday something like 100 citizens
of the town, old men, young men and
boys formed an overall club here and
By now practically every male citi-
zen Of the town is donned with a pair
of overalls.
The meeting was called to order by
Judge j. M. Gardenhire, who in short
speech, explained its object. w. 3.
Ford and Charles S. Baker were elect
ed chairman and secretary of the club
respectively. The chairman appointed
j. n. Gam, DIR. J. H. Chism and C. S.
Baker to solicit other members in Car
thage. A committee composed of Ed
High, c. H. Mathews, j. NJ. Cox, Roy
Samson and Jere Gardenhire was also
appointed to urge the organization OF
such a club in all the other sections OF
the County.
The only requirement to become q
member of the club is to agree to
wear overalls (any color desired) dur
ing the six working days of the week
Any member failing to wear his over
alls during the time prescribed is sub
ject to a fine of % cents for each day
of offense. The members of the club
are to continue to wear overalls unit
the price of clothing comes down.
A number of short speeches were
made, by Judge Gardenhire, Rev. NJ. N
i Ford, E. E. Turner and others showing
where such an organization SHOULD
/ have its effect on bringing the price.
/ Of clothing down. The movement i:
spreading rapidly and it is though
that overall clubs will be formed il

BUSINESS CHANGES
AT HICKMAN

There has recently been number of
business changes at the thriving little
city of Hickman. Frank v. Williams
has purchaed the stock of drugs and
hardware of w. H. Betty, deceased,
and will continue to operate the bus
mess at the old stand. Hoke Smith of
Difficult is assisting Mr.. Williams in
the store. The Hickman Implement
Co., a newly organized firm, has pur-
chased all the hardware and farming
implements of ]. B. Gwaltney & Son

Hickman with 24-hour a day current
and a crew of workmen is now busy
wiring the houses of that little city. A

Tribute Of Respect

To the W. M, Wardens and Breth-
rem of New Middleton Lodge N. 249,
F. and A. M:
Whereas, God in his infinite wisdom
and love, on February Is, 1920, saw fit
to call from his earthly labors our
brother, William Harvey Betty, to
take his place in that temple, not built
by hands, we, his brethren, honor the
memory and mourn the loss of an up
right man and Mason. We shall miss
his fraternal touch and his presence
as a brother. He was initiated an
Entered Apprentice Mason April 4,
1919, passed to the degree of Fellow
craft May 8, 1919, and was raised to
the sublime degree of Master Mason
June z, 1919. He was exalted to the
august degree of Royal Arch Mason
August IL, 1919.
Death has removed from our midst
one who lived and practiced in the
daily walks of life those beautiful
morals and divine principles that have
come down to US from ancient times.
Brother Betty was a worthy citizen, an
upright Mason and a Christian gentle
man.
1t is resolved that we extend to the
family of the deceased our deepest
| sympathy, in this, their hour of be-
reavement, and that we furnish them
copy of these resolutions, also that
copy be spread on the minutes OF
New Middleton Lodge, No. 249.

MAKE $4,000 FORDS
IN HALF YEAR

When the first six months of the
Ford Motor Company fical year end
ed January 31st, more than half a mil
lion of the sturdy little Fords had left
the factory to join three and half
million brothers and sisters on the
worlds highways And Ford officials
express confidence in their ability to
turn loose the other half million by
July 31st, when their year ends.
However, they say that a million a
year is far from the ultimate in motor
car manufacturing; and that with the
completion of the blast furnace and
body plants which Henry Ford is now
building in Detroit, the yearly output
capacity is bound to assume larger
dimensions. The present capacity is
100000
The blast furnace on which Mr.. Ford
has been working for the past three
years will enable the Ford Company
to make Fords direct from the iron
ore instead of buying the iron ignots
and then melting them before making
into parts. At the present time there
are approximately $4,000 men engag-
ed at the blast furnaces and in the
new body plant. But it is quite prob
able that that number will be more
than doubled once the steel mills
which will be the largest in America
begin to operate. Ford men do not
attempt to place any estimate on what
the production of cars will be in the
future, but point to the fact that they
have not been able to supply the de-
mand for the past ten years and that
at the present time there are some
100000 untitled orders on file.

ing towed toward Carthage and made
the arrest.
