BABsON's REPORT

American business men have done
more thinking since the depression

The situation is apparent as We
reach the bottom OF the present era
of depression in 1922, offers the first
real chance of the coming period OF
Improvement. Future business is
now on the production counter. You
can buy it cheaper now than at any
time during the next four or five
years.
II takes no little courage TO &c
counter to the popular current anC
spend money for advertising wheI
immediate returns are smaller thar
usual; but | am convinced that tho
man who has that foresight anC
courage will gain an advantage
running start-that will carry hin
through the coming periods OF i'm
prOVement and prosperity.
In the year 1922, use the reserve
set aside during the fat years. ca
production costs as much as posi-,
BILE, but don't skimp your selling ap-
preparations during 1922. Defer ex-
pansion Of plant until next year.

Texline got away with the big end

CLAYTON KNIGHTS TEMPLAR !
MEET FOR ANNUAL SERVICE

In commemoration of The Risen
Lord, each Easter Sunday, the world
over, Knights Templar meet and
worship.
II has long been the custom in
Clayton for the Templars to meet
with the churches of the town in
community service, they march
ing in body in uniform, to hear the
Easter message delivered by the
minister of their preference. For
past few years the local ministers
havs delivered the Easter messages.
The message delivered Sunday at
the Easter service was very force
full. Rev. C.. 5. Markin, a minister
of Union county, and one loved by
all who know him. was the speaker.
With eloquence that can only come
from below the Mason and Dixon
line, where southern skies have WOW
en- their magic spell into the char
acler Of the man, he held his au-
dience with his well-chosen mes
sage. Rev. Markin is a knight Tenn
plar.
Rev. Guy Davis, one of the young
est knights, presided. Rev. Keegan
offered the invocation; Rev. Sale
read the scripture lesson; Miss
Whitson, with her high school chO-
rus, assisted by the Clayton Mems
chorus, rendered a very beautiful
Easter selection.
The attendance at this service was
estimated TO be the 7argest that has
ever been present at an Easter ser
vice in Clayton.
The annual Templar banquet was
held in the Christian church. The
Ladies Circle, in their usua, eff
cient manner, served the banquet.
| Sir knight f. p Kilburn, Past EN-
inent Commander of Clayton Com
mandery, was POSTMASTER, and as
such covered himself with glory,
and did honor to the fraternity of
Past Eminent Commanders.

KISSED in COURT

LOS ANGELES, June 28.-With tho
sensational testimony of Paul Roman,
convict lover of Madalynne Oben
chain, practically unshaken by two days
of intensive cross-examination, the i'm
preston prevailed about the court to-
day that his introduction by the state
had been mistake.
His statement that Madalynne had
plotted with him to fabricate a story
to secure her acquittal seemed to be
overwhelmed in wave of aversion
created by his act of treachery to the
woman for whom he had sworn eternal
devotion.
Branded by the defense as "worse
than Judas Iscariot,' Roman left the
court amid fervent Kisses from hun
dreds of lips, expressing the antipathy
which even the jurors seemed to share
as indicated by their severe questions
to the witness after he had been re-
leased by the defense.
One juror demanded of Roman wheth-
er he believed in supreme being and
on hearing the reply that the witness
had emo orthodox belief" declared
