HOME TOWN THOUGHTS
Home is said to be where the
heart is and if the heart is
Jhere the pocketbook should
stay there also and use the fine
service of the home stores. I
The people who go somewhere
else to buy as soon as they have
any money to spend do not
seem to value their home town
very much and frequently they
are not very much value there.
At last accounts those who
were sitting down and waiting
for more trade to come to them
without advertising were still
waiting. " - $
"Why do women hold their
chins when thinking?" reads a
headline. Probably to keep them
selves from interrputing.
The South asks the people of
the North to wear cotton hose.
Girls speak up and save the
nation.
Boston University has a cour-
se which instructs women how
to buy. Most husbands would
prefer having them instructed
in how to refrain from buying.
Susanne Leglen appears to
have scored another "love set."
Whether the term "lucky" is to
remain in the Baldwin family
remains to be seen.
'A new Ford machine is re-
ported in prospect. Probably
this wil mean the over-hauling
and revamping of a lot of hith-
erto perfectly standard jokes.
If you are riding the water
wagon stay with it. It's dan-
gerous to get off. Old Noah
rode the water boat forty days
and forty nights but after he
left it he got as drunk as a ward
heeler at a state convention.
Honey Grove Signal.
Walter R. Ivey young farmer
from Thorndale has passed his
examination and will sail from
San Francisco on March 15 for
Panama Canal Zone according
to Sergeant C. Patterson of the
focal recruiting office. Sergeant
Patterson has enlisted a num-
ber of recruits from in and near
Taylor" into the United States
lArmy. Young Ivey will be in the
infantry.
There is room for improve-
ment in towns and individuals
Bartlett is a good town good
schools good churches and a
good citizenship as a whole but
can with proper organized ef-
forts be made a better town.
If you live in Bartlett let folks
loiow that your home is in the
best place to its size in Texas.
Be a booster or move out.
Henry Ford is not only a mo-
tor magnate but a big butter-
and egg man. He has two big
stores in Detroit and they han-
91e all kinds of family supplies
ranging from shoes to sirloin
or from sugar to sassaparilla.
On a single day recently these
twin stores disposed of nearly
10.000 Bounds of hiit.ter nnrl
7000 dozen eggs. The cash reg- J
ister rang up nearly $70000 and
it was a cloudy day at that.

FATHERS AND SONS.
in Father and son banquets
are being held in churches and
various organizations through-
out the country. There are
some rousing times when these
two elements get together. The
fathers feel young again to get
with these kiddish fellows while
the boys feel a kind of new dig-
nity in being lined up with an
equal number of men.
Thn oreneral sentiment of these
meetings would seem to be that
Father and the boys should get
closer together and if they do
not the trouble is quite as apt
to be with the father as with the
son.
Many parents entertain the
comfortable feeling that the boys
are coming along nicely and fol
lowing the ideas of their parents
But those boys may be thinking
a lot of things that their parents
do not know about very likely
doing a lot of undesirable things
on the sly. If so they conceal
from their parents their diver
gent ideas but some day the
parting of the ways comes and
they turn off in some unexpect-
ed direction and do things or
accept principles that are repu-
gnant to the family traditions.
The -trouble with the fathers
is usually too much absorption
in business or the work of get-
ting a living. It does not pay to
chase money so hard that you
neglect your family. Better get
along with a little less have few
er pleasures and luxuries if
thereby you can keep the heart
and loyalty of your children and
gradually influence them to-
ward the ideals that you cherish.
Attending a Father and Son
banquet once a year may not go
very far to bringing about this
'closer relationship unless it is
j followed up. But it ought to
give many fathers a realization
that those boys have their own
interests quite different from
those of their parents and that
they are going to be men before
many days and that the time to
make the right kind of men out
of them is now.
ATTRACTIONS FOR BUSINES
A systematic effort to estab-
lish new industries in a town is
pretty sure to bring in a number
of such establishments. But
success in getting them does
not'depend wholly upon the en-
ergy with which such campaigns
are conducted.
It is also necessary to prove
that your town is a good one for
them to settle in. If a business
man is solicited to establish
some new enterprise in a town
he feels pleased by the interest
shown by th effort. But he does
not consider that alone. He al-
so wants to know Avhat kind of
a town he will be locating in.
He asks whether that place is
wide awake receptive to new
ideas and disposed to take up
and push progressive move-
ments. A town has to make
good along those lines before
people are much interested in
starting an enterprise there.
"We are glad the resoultion pro-
posing 'a new constitution was
killed. The people of Texas
have not the confidence in pres-
ent day politicians to trust them
With the present political hat-
red and self-serving interests in
the state is no time to consider
a new constitution. Further-
more the people of Texas have
at no time asked that our con-
stitution be rewritten.
The disnritches tell us thai:
Elihu Root 82 laughed at the
rumors or his death. When a
man laughs at the rumors of his
death it is a sign that they are
not true.
There is more or less comment
about Senator Reed of Missouri
"chewing tobacco in full dress"
in the senate chamber. We sup
pose he should have worn a smok
ing jacket.
REMOVAL OF RUBBISHi
The handling of rubbish in
city and town centers has be-
come one of the more serious ob-
stacles to improvement of the ap
pcarnnce of the average com-
munity. The average house-
holder takes better care of his
home place than he used to a
few years ago. Clean Up days
and weeks have had their effect
and have produced a higher
standard of neatness. The num-
ber of absolutely disorderly
grounds and back yards has de-
creased. But business concerns of all
kinds have to handle a great deal
of refuse and in their haste to
get results it is often a tempt-
ation to fail to give proper at-
tention to the disposition of the
waste material. Most retail
stores for instance receive lar-
ge quantities or merchandise in
light wooden and paper contain-
ers with much light packing ma
terial and it is a big problem to
know what to do with all thin
stuff.
Unless carefully handled such
refuse may be a fire peril and
the firemen in many places will
say thatone of the worst haz
ards they have to contend with
comes from such accumulations
in basements and storagebuild-
ings. Ifsome one drops a match
or a cigarett in this waste the
building may be all ablaze in a
few minutes.
If such refuse is piled around
the back doors of such business
places an eyesore is often creat
ed. Workshops of all kinds also
have to handle much refuse ma-
terial and unless the same is
carefully cleaned up the appear-
ance of the place may be spoil-
ed. It is a wonderful thing for a
city of high standards of neat-
ness can prevail in handling this
material. Such stuff should be
kept out of sight or promptly
disposed of. Such a policy must
tend to reduce fires and it will
add so much to the appearance
of a community and neighbor-
hood as to be worth all the effort
it costs.
HOME TOWN PRICES
There are a number of reas-
ons why the prices of merchan-
dise in a town like Bartlett
should be lower than they are
in the great metropolitan cen-
ters. Lower rents louva costs
of real estate lower cost of liv-
ing for workpeople are among
the reasons why it costs less to
operate a business in a town
like ours.
In a place like ours the de-
mand is for substantial goods
at a reasonable price for people
of moderate means. In large
cities there seem to be a lot of
people who spend extravagantly
or who want something having
a stylish appearance temporar-
ily but which lacks substantial
quality. These tendencies re-
sult in the sale of a great deal
of high priced stuff also goods
that do not have real value.
Better buy of your home stores
where they cater to the sub-
stantial needs of people of mod-
erate and limited incomes.
EDITOR'S FUTILE WORK
Like all good community
boosters Editor Shannon of the
Commerce (Ga.) News tries to
aid his home merchants by ad-
vocating a trade at home policy.
Like many other good com-
muitv boosters. Editor Shnrmnn
sometimes gets discouraged thru
lack of appreciation on the part
of those for whom he tries to
boost. But let him tell it in his
own concise fashion:
"Two weeks ago we penned
the best editorial we knew how
to write doing our best to en-
courage the people of all this
section to patronize home mer-
chants and bless your heart
honey not a single business man
in Commerce has even said
'thank vou.' That croer. to show
what it goes to show."
Which leads the Tifton Ga
zette to remark thaf. if Fditor
Shannon has urged folks to buy
away from home" he would nev
er have lived long enough to
hear the last holler that would
have been raised. Mayes Co.
(Okla.) Democrat.
An 80-vear old widow in Pike-
ville Ky. has just taken her
sixth husband thoosing the
youngest of her six ardent suit-
ors. The disDatch cives r.hf ex
planation in four words; The j
wen-seasoned lady is ".Eastern
Kentucky's wealthiest -women."
WOULD HAVE BEEN
A PUSHER.
President Cojolidge dwelt in
his Washington's Birthday ad-
dress on George Washington's
ability as a business man. He
gave a picture of him as one who
took advantage of every oppor-
tunity and did his work with
the utmost thoroughness.
One can feel sure that if Geo
rge Washington were a young
man to-day and were starting
m business under modern cir
cumstances he would be a tre-
mendous pusher. He would not
wait for Opportunity to come
and knock at his door but he
would be hunting her up where-
ever she was. And a man who
did things so thoroughly and
had so much enterprise and or-
iginality would be a good ad-
vertiser. He would leave no
stone unturned to acquaint the
public with the services he was
offering.
GREAT MEN.
The remark is often heard
that the country has no more
great men like the founders of
our republic and probably many
Washington's birthday orators
made that statement.
Greatness nowadays seems to
run into a different channel. In
the days when the country was
founded there were a few busi
ness opportunities. It was nat
ural for most of the young men
with exceptional power to drift
into political life.
To-day the business arid in-
dustrial world with its wonder-
ful opportunities is a challenge
to every young man of ambition
And we see great careers in the
world that are not equalled by
anything in that field in history.
Men like Henry Ford and Thos
As Edisdn for instance have
shown a power and capacity for
original action that seems com-
parable to the power that was
exercised in the early days by
the great statesmen. They put
their brains into the problems
of technical science and indus-
trial organization. If they had
devoted themselves exclusive-
ly to politics they might have
effected as remarkable results
in that field as they have in the
activities of the industrial world
It no doubt takes as much
genius to organize a great in-
dustry to shape it along original
lines to harmonize all the con-
flicitng elements that contribute
to that activity to meet the need
of the people and sell the pro-
duct and keep labor contented
a sit did in the old days to frame
systems of government that
would stand the strain of time.
But it is to be hoped that our
brainy young men will not for-
sake the field of politics. While
thelaws may not usually need
radical modification it is a con-
stant problem to adjust them to
the changing situations of these
days. As a whole the govern-
ment's affairs are not operated
as efficiently as private business
and it is a drag on the progress
of the country when the govern-
mental machine fails to do its
part toward social advance.
BOY SCOUT FOUNDER
Lieut. Gen. Sir Robert Baden-
Powell was 70 years old Febru-
ary 22 last. It is Sir Robert
who is the father of the Boy
Scout movement which he
founded in 1908. He is also
distinguished among Britain's
military leaders. The most fa-
mous incident of his military ca-
reer was of course the defense
of Mafekng during the Boer
War. With a garrison of only
700 men he held the place
against 11000 of the enemy for
217 days until finally relieved
by Colonel Plumer. In his many
years in the army Sir Robert
developed as a scout as a schol-
ar a soldier and a man and
while his bravery and resource-
fulness made him one of the
idols of the British people he
came to realize that ths rlnrfo
of peace are far greater than
the victories of war. Since his
retirement from thp armv in
1910 he has devoted himself
wholly to J he development ot
the Boy Scout movement. Wa-
co Times-Herald.
Will Rogers who is proud of
his Cherokee blood admits that
his ancestors did not come over
on the Mayflower but he points
out: "They were waiting for the
guys when they landed." We
fear however that Will's ances-
tors hadn't read the book of eti-
quette on the correct manner of
receiving strangers.
