Internission
DID Y0U EVER STOP TO
THINK

THAT if business is falling off,
you should step right out of the
rut and increase it by the right
kind of advertising?
THAT getting the business is not
always selfish propositionY
Modern business entails a Ger
tain amount of service that is OF
as much interest TO the buyer as
20 the seller.
THAT you will find in the stores
of your city, the obligng clerks
the ones who greet you with a
smile. who wait on you courte-
ously, solicitous Of your every
wish. who answer your questions
politely, who are willing to take
The trouble to supply any in
formation wanted, they help TO
make better business.
| THAT mail order houses sue
eeed because they advertise. You
can beat them at their own game
by advertising in your local pa
pors.
THAT many citizens would be
pleasantly surprised if they were
70 investigate the various kinds
and classes Of merchandise OBJ
iainable in their city. With this
knowledge, they could spend al
their money at home. A Dollar
spent in your own city helps yon
city. A dollar spent in some othe
city helps that city. Buy at home
THAT your city is the best cit.
IN which TO live. Don't hesitat

CLAYTON WALLOPS OALHRRT
THE SCORE STOOD 8 TO 2

Sure, the Grays repeated. Went
down to Dalhart last Sunday and
beat the Texans among their own
sand dunes. The grounds were in
poor condition, and Dutch says all
that beat him out of home run was
The fact that he couldn't locate first
base. However, he finally ran onto
it and got three bases on the hit.
Be II said to the credit of Jimmy
Shaver that he pitched a good game,
even though the IA hits registered
off his delivery don't look like it.
We were unable TO get the box
score, and therefore have no in
formation as TO the plays made. A
hlg crowd of fans were there from
ClaytoK,
rexlihe will be here next Sunday
and there is bound to be a grand
turnout to see this game, for that
bunch is sure hard 10 beat, and they
always put up a fast exhibition
The Grays are listed to oppose Tex
line on next Thursday and Friday
the 10th and nth, at Texline, during
the Texline Roundup.

90 GOVERNMENTS DEMAND
REAL BUSINESS METHODS2

Conditions over which one has no
control may produce circumstances
that will alter or change policies of
administration.
Just about 8 months ago a very
warm campaign was waged to elect
a board of trustees for the Village
of Clayton Lest memory become
dim and forgelful it is entirely fit
ting and proper to recall some of the
principal slogans OF the fortunate
campaigners: Let the people rule"
Vote the Taxpayers ticket and save
the peoples money" "Slop the
leak Running on a platform op-
posed to the voting of an additional
bond issue for the completion and
maintenance of an adequate munich
pal water atid light plant, the Tax
payers Ticket received the approval
of the people by an overwhelming
majority. The safe, sane admins
tration of business men that had Civ
on Clayton efficient service, was re-
Ipudiated and the popular slogan of
Let the people rule" became a real
ity and the taxpayers representa-
lives duly took up the reins of the
city government.
Three months ago the people were
led to believe, in the face of eX-
perienced and authentic informa-
ton that the affairs of the city
would 60 rapidly forward without
additional finance. Today Clayton
is facing the proposition of having
a receiver appointed TO administer
the affairs of the city. BY what pc
culiar freak of circumstances should
this change become necessary
knowing the bonds could only be
voted at the regular election, anC
declaring bonds were unnecessary
when the arguments are presented
for receivershib. Naturally {
question arises in the minds Of tht
people.
The inalienable right of ever!
citizen is to know of the serious
problems of his government. l
there is a crying need for a reGeiv
ership. the people should be consult
ed. Tie responsibility for the dc
fion should not rs iHrusi uhdn IN
shoulders of the present city board
hut,lhe people should meet in publ
gathering and let the matter b

Union Chiefs Accept Presidents
Proposals

y ANuHuoNA1
Chicago, Aug. 2s-Full acceptance
of the peace proposals submitted by
President Harding was voted tonight
by leaders of the striking railway
shopmen, who, however, have their
own Interpretation Of each Of the
three suggestions.
I'VE accept reluctantly, it Is true,
but commit ourselves to carry out
the terms of the settlement in ut
most good faith and in aid of the
general welfare" said the message
of acceptance which was sent to
President Harding tonight. IF these
proposals fail to bring about the re-
suits which you desire, the respOn-
sibilily Of the failure will not rest
with representatives of the organ
lied employees"
Agree TO Proposals
On the PROPOSAL to restore unim-
paired seniority rights to the strik-
ers, which was rejected by railway
executives at meeting yesterday
in New York, the message declared
1T would certainly be a Whole
sale injustice of unparalleled extent
if hundreds of thousands of exper-
fenced men who have given four ia
forty years service and whose value
TO the transportation industry i:
proportioned to the length of thei
service, should be placed in a posi-
ton of inferiority TO a limited mum
Der of men who have been employed
as substitutes for these experienced
railroad workers
Replying TO the presidents sug
gesliOn that railroads and workmeI
agree to abide by decisions of tn,
railroad labor board, the reply sal,
the shopmen had always taken tn
position that so long as they cOntin
ued to render service, they shoul
abide by the rules and working con
ditions and accept the wages agree
upon by proper negotiations or de
lermined by the labor board after
! hearing of a dispute.
