COTTON STATES MERCHANTS
ASSOCIATION.

Since the year 1914, when the C "
ton States Merchants Association s
idea of cooperation and service was
put into effect the movement has
grown substantially until today near
ly 1900 Southern merchants, bank
ers, manufacturers and planters ars
behind this organized effort for bot
ter merchandising and community
spirit.
Out of this spirit of "help your
neighbor become bigger in order tnat
yourself may become greater" has
sprung a healthy development in
hundreds of Southern communities.
directly attributable to the enlight-
enment shed by the yearly conven-
tions of this Association, the sevent /
of which will be held in Memphis on
August 10-11-12.
The program will be replete with
subjects of personal interest to more
than 5000 merchants of the South,
whom it is expected will be Memphis
guests.
None who attended this convention
last August will deny it was the most
brilliant success of the Association S
history, not alone from the stand
point of numbers in attendance, but
also as to quality of educational fea
lures, brilliancy of orators and the
entertainment events.
It would be difficult to conceive
of any address containing more real
pep and optimism than Curtis NJ.
Johnson's 1.-THE Road to Happiness .
During his one and three-quarteI 5
hours on the stand not one Of the
auditors evinced a wish to get away
and two applied for each seat avail
able. We may succeed in having
him again this year.
AS to the barbecue, over 5000 pot
tions of excellently prepared pork
and lamb and soft drinks were serv-
ed and in a period of 100 minutes
and so well prepared was the serv-
ing stand that there never was a
hesitancy in the line. There will be
a barbecue this year, or something
equally as good.
Men who exchange dollar for dol
lar end the transaction with dollar
only. But those who exchange idea
for idea enrich themselves doubiy.
That is the big thought behind the
1920 convention of this Association
it provides the opportunity for its
member to absorb and transmit ideas
to one another and in organized fash
ion work them out.
II man be happy in the operation
of his business, then this convention
needs him and his viewpoint. If he
is unhappy in the operation of his
business, then he can CLEAN some
happiness by attending this conven
ton.
All expense incident to the con-
vention is borne by the Memphis
hosts and nothing with any appeal
ance of commercial SIN or soliciting
is tolerated about the headquarters
The program and entertaining
events are now being worked out and
will be published at as early date as
possible. The officers and members
of the Board of Governors, list Cf
whom follows, are working diligently
in an attempt to have every merch,
ant, manufacturer, banker and plant
er in the state, who can possibly ge.
away from his business, to be
present.

who would be driving it but a digni-
fed tin soldier who jumped out and
opened the door.
Nancy got in first and Nick was
about to follow, when he suddenly
stopped. The tin soldier seemed very
familiar.
Then Nick laughed. "Why. I lost

BILE. Nothing could be strange, In our
strange situation. Not even The men
ton OF the names of Jordan Spence

first comment was brief and to the
point:
Nobody planned this little reunion

right"

And working independently Of

Nobody can ever accuse him. He took
that p~recaution."

added.
"And SO they defeated each other

Butter answered before her question
was even asked.
But I don't want to marry any

laugh at the very idea of 1t.
That's your idea OF It," Butler
said. But how about Harry"
Harry" Louise asked, and stood
and looked at him. what do you
mean? Do you think Harry would
like to be free? Do you think Harry
doesn't love me-or that he cares
for someone else-for her?' Her
voice gave out, ii stared white
faced at her friend.
I'm sure I don't know" Butler
answered. He hated and dreaded
this talk, yet he had felt for a long
time that it had to come, and that
it was necessary. If Louise had to
win through TO, happiness by a little
more unhappiuess, then he might as
well bring it on and, so to speak,
have it over. But nevertheless he
hated il.
do you think you've been entirely
