SONG OF THE LITTLE SPRING.


II bubble up among the fern,
Gently waving blue flags turn
Offering shade to keep me cool
Blue-green shade DER limpid pool
Ger -liEped pool.
Hark. the sea- ! purl again,
Out of myself l fall, then
Ever singing raving,
Nor time nor labor saving,
| seek the sea
Bowling along life's easy way,
Laughing like a child at play,
Catching calling to leaves and grass,
Tapping loving all l pass,
All that Ipass.
l flush the pastures daisy sweet,
Deep with grass for cows to eat,
Give drink to birds and butterflies,
Go kodaking trees and skies,
For children's eyes.
Take heed of me and you will find,
My mission is to be kind,
| feel no loss, | go | gain,
Some glad day I'll reach the Main,
I'll reach the Main.

man in the country may we'll study
and ponder the lesson which the car
toonist presents so forcibly in this
little strip. 1t forms a basis for an
education which every business man
and farmer-yes, every individual
should have.
Just a word about the idea depicted
here.
The progressive farmer knows that
his car, which is his business, will
not run without gasoline. The gaso-
line in this case contains the fund
amentals without which no business
can succeed. They are ideas, the
trade at home policy, community
loyalty, cooperation and service.
This merchant is filling his tank with
a fuel that will carry him over the
rough roads to greater prosperity
and success.
In the foreground is seen the non
progressive, skeptical merchant, who
SHES at anything that is new. He
has no faith in ideas, in modern
thought, in up-to-the-minute methods
of doing business. He is still using
the old methods and following the
old policy of false economy. He
imagines that ne is too busy to take
the proper care of the instrument
with WITCH he does business. He
plugs by the filling station" but
take a look at the lower section of
the cartoon.
1t is here that the man who en-
ploys WORKOUT business methods
realizes that he would have saved
both time and money if he had paus-
ed at the filling station" for gaso-
line and repairs to his rickety tinliz-
zie. Moreover, he sees now that the
machine of his business would rur
better and would last longer, if he
would stop now and then to have the
motor tuned. The moral may be
stated in a single sentence: Prepare
for adversely while you are in the
midst of prosperity.
The Ninth Annual Convention OF
the Cotton States Merchants Assoc
citation will be held in Memphis
August 16, II, 10, inclusive. 1t is the
filling station at which southern bust
ness men may stop their cars and re-
ceive a supply Of fuel that will make
the old machine run like a new one
and carry them over the rough places
in the road to better business. This
|Convention is a clearing house OF
ideas, where merchants, bankers and
business men may gather and ex-
change experiences, profiting from
the lessons which they learn from
each other. They may discuss their
business and prepare themselves fol

Memphis, Tenn, July 25.-It is
very likely that there eve was a
time in the history of this country,
when it was more necessary for bust
ness people to sit down and "talk 1t
over' than at this critical period IN
the worlds march of progress.
In our industrial, commercial and
financial relations, more or less OF a
state of chaos and uncertainty exists,
and the situation today is far more
serious than it was a year ago. Ouf
problems have decreased in number
during that year., but unsettled condi-
tons throughout the world have add
ed to their cOmplexity.
Doing business in this good year is
not a matter of mere buying and sell
ing of merchandise. 1t involves a
scientific application of an energy
and industry that was practically
crushed during the hey-day OF war
initiation. The war boom did more
harm than good, because it eliminat-
ed the necessity for care and caution
in the buying and selling Of goods. 1t
was not a question of what to buy and
when, but the problem which worried
the merchant then was where car
get in and how soon. Experts IN COM
merce, finance, industry and agrlcui-
ture-the four great fundamentals of
all business and the vehicles of pros
perity--are agreed that the best
thing for American business men TO
do is to get at the real facts Of the
situation confronting them. The mar
who knows the cause of his adversely,
who gets at the root of an evil ondl-
ton, is better equipped to make the
fight than the man who is unacqualnt
ed with the facts and who seeks to
escape the inevitable Result of his
ignorance by administering to nm,
self the soothing opiate of Ease opti'
mism.
The need for new ideas and a more
intimate knowledge of the facts Is
ever present and is absolute. The
old adage "The truth will make you
free" was never more applicable to
condition than to that which now
exists in every country of the world
knowledge of the truth about busi'
ness can be gained only thru the ex'
change of ideas and individual opin'
ions and a constant study OF the
situation as it unfolds itself from day
to day.
The point is set out very clearly II

has put a brilliant idea on paper Sc
that the world may visualize the mes
sage that is of prime importance t.

STATE HIGHWAY NEWS.


1t is very gratifying to those peo-
pie interested in highway develop
meent in Mississippi, to learn that on
August 18th, bids will be received
by the Madison County Board of
Supervisors for the surfacing of the
last link of Mississippi's first through
north and south highway. The road
connects Hammond, Louisiana and
Memphis, passing through Magnolia,
McCemb, Brookhaven, Hazlehurst,
jackson, Canton, Greenwood, Clarks-
dale, Tunica, and Memphis.
With the ~surfacing of this link,
located between Doak's Creek and
Plckens, a distance of nine and six
tenths miles, the entire highway will
have a gravel surface, with the ex-
ception of six and four tenths miles
between Magnolia and McComb,
which is of vitrified brick. The sur
facing of this road is to be a federal
Aid Project, and plans call for an
eighteen foot gravel surface. The
construction of the road bed and
drainage structures were also a Fed
eral Aid Project, it having been
completed as a graded road, February
2, 1922.
In this highway, there are eight
Federal Aid Projects, or stretches of
road, which were constructed with
the aid of Federal funds. Three of
these projects are located in Pike
County, two in Lincoln, one in Hol-
mes, n in Tunica, and one in Madi-
son, making a total of forty-six and
twenty-one hundredths miles. All of
these projects are surfaced with
gravel, with the exception of the road
between Magnolia and McComb, and
with few exceptions, the drainage
structures are Of concrete and steel,
The completion OF this highway will
mean much to the State, and it is one
of three main trunk lines north anC
south highways called for by the
proposed State Highway System
which will be submitted to the people
for ratification at the general cleo
lions in November. The completion 81
this highway is the elimination Of
six years of effort on the part of the
Highway Department, and the clever
counties through which it passes, ano
they should feel justly proud of it. II
Federal Aid allotments continue al
the present rate, the day is not fan
distant when Mississippi will have a
State Highway System, which will
connect every county seat and center
of population of six hundred or more
in the State, and which will also CO.
ordinate with the systems OF adjacent
states, thus connecting the entire
country with a system of roads, which
will be kept open for travel during
the entire three hundred and sixty
five days in the year.

avoidance of blunders in the future
by learning of the errors of the past.
No mans business is a ket to the
general situation. One may succeed
while his neighbor fails. 1t is up to
the failed merchant to seek knowledge
in the successful experience of his
neighborhood and avoid a repetition
Of his W fallacies.
A brief outline of the programme
for the convention will give the mer-
chauts of the territory some idea of
the value of it to the business men of
the South.

sion will be addresses by Cnas. Henry
Macintosh, ex-president of the As
ISOLATED Advertising Clubs of the

trys' foremost authorities on COM
merce and finance, and they have an
intimate knowledge of the economic
situation throughout the world.
The early part of the session will
be devoted to appointment of COM
mittees and similar details. Mayor
Rowlett Paine, Mayor of Memphis
will welcome the merchants on the
part of the City and A. Grant Ma
thews will deliver the welcome adj
dress. The response will be made by
Allan Hinchey, Cape Girardeau, Mo.
The second day has been set aside
as agricultural Day" when matters
of vital import to business men and
farmers will be discussed. George
r. James will preside at this session
and the principal speaker will be ]
o. Taylor of the governments ex-
pertinent station at Tallulah, La.
Congressman Sidney Anderson, Of
Lanesboro, Mimi, will address the
Convention on the third day. A.

committee on agricultural inquiry
