A SERIES
....... HELPS
Mels Darling, Who Spoke Here,
Will Centribole Articles to
The Chronicle.
We have made arrangements
with Nels Darling, the lecturer
and community problem man, to
furnish a series of articles on
subjects pertaining tp community
building and welfare.
Mr. Darling will write a series
of articles entitled ‘Talks to the
Business Man. ” He will discuss
the proe and cons of newspaper
advertising for the retail mer-
chant The first series will be
followed by a second ‘‘Talks On
Advertising.”
At first thought some of our
readers will ask themselves,
“What interest have I in these
matters? I am a farmer and not
interested in advertising.” The
farmer who does not count him-
self arm business man makes a
mistake. We are all business
men and in the selling game,
whether we sell the products of
our soH, our factory, our brain or
our hands. If you wish to sell
your farm, your stock, your ma-
chinery or anything else, adver-
tising will help you. If you wish
to hold an ice cream social, one
of the first essentials to success
is to know how to tell about it.
In this article, “The Home
Town,” he will deal with prob-
lems that are common in every
community the size and charac-
ter of Teague.
Darling knows how to write
the pulling, get-the-business type
of advertising. He knows how
and he knows how to tell others
how. He uses the short arm jab
and lands it with a punch. He
rings the bell every time he
takes a shot. He tells why we
read some advertisements and
give others only a passing
glance.
We have gone to considerable
expense in securing these arti-
cles from “The Town- Doctor”
believing they will prove to be
helpful MdintyMti^
BRYAN LECTURE HERE
DRAWS LARGE CROWD
Beloved Statesman Clothed Mg
Thoughts In Simplest et
Language.
A, B. Sledge Dead.
A. B. Sledge, aged 76 years,
died Friday morning, May 18, in
Teague. Funeral services were
held at the residence of his son,
H. E. Sledge, at 3:80 p. m. Fri-
day afternoon and interment was
made in the eity cemetery, Eld.
J. L. Walker conducting the ser-
vices. Mr. Sledge died at the
home of his son, H. E. Sledge,
about one mile south of the city.
Deceased had been a member
of the Missionary Baptist church
for 85 years and was an Ex-Con-
federate soldier. He is survived
by five children.
The lecture of Hon. William
Jennings Bryan at Chautauqua
park Tuesday morning brought
an attendance of more than
fifteen hundred, people. It be-
ing generally understood that
the crowd would be extra large
and that seats near the front
would be available only to those
who arrived at the pavilion
early,* about half the front seats
were occupied before 9 o'clock,
more than an hour before Mr.
Bryan was to begin.
Mr. Bryan, in company with
was very anxiotus that the farm
ers should understand a few
things. First, he wants me to
be very careful to distiguish be-
tween maximum and minimum.
He has asked the government to
fix a minimum for the farmers'
prices, and wants the farmers to
understand he does not want a
maximum price .for the things
they produce. The government
has asked the people to raise
more %pd, and suppose they
raise a surplus and the price of
food falls down on account of it,
will they be penalized? To as-
sure them that they would not
be penalized, the Secretary of
Agriculture has asked the gov-
ernment to fix a maximum price
for what he buys to a point
where his labor will not be with-
out profit Whenever they speak
of a maximum price, it is for the
food that is in the hands of the
food speculators. There are
hundreds of people that may be
unpatriotic enough to try to make

juit before 10:00 o’clock from
Mexia where the committee met
the Great Commoner, At this
time the pavilion was full and
many were standing and sitting
on the outside, and more were
crowding through the gates.
The crowds included people from
all parts of Freestone county
and some from adjoining coun
ties.
Mr. King, before introducing
the speaker, spoke of the pos-
sibility of automobiles near the
pavilion disturbing the speaker
and the audience and requested
that nobody-start a car near the
pavilion during the speech. He
then reviewed the Chautauqua
which had just closed, and re-
called that Mr, Bryan’s lecture
was the closing of the season's
Chautauqua. Then, with some
mention of the greatness of the
man, his sincerety of purpose in
his work, his importance in Am-
erican events of the day, and pf
his real greatness to the Am
erican continent and to th«F
world, the speaker was introduc-
ed.
The following are excerps from
Mr. Bryan’s lecture. They are
taken from the speech at random
as Harold Fredrick took it in
the words. After making a pre-
liminary explanation he began:
“Today I am going to talk
about the there fundamen
of man’s relationship. Fi

feed supply, and the President
has asked the government to fix
a maximum price, if necessary
to protect the people. ”
“I want to remind you firmly
that our form of govervment is
the best, and yet it is not per-
fect, because it is a man made
thing, and work of human hands
could not reach perfection.
When a Democratic President is
in office, you’can have it proved
by any Republican that our form
of government is not perfect,
and when a Republican is in
office there is absolutely no proof
necessary. The light that has
been shining out from this gov-
ernment has illuminated the en-
tire world. Just for an illustra-
tion: China, the sleeping giant
of the Orient, has awakened from
her long slumber and formed a
Democracy, and has given to her
chief executive a title similar to
oure, she calls him President
It is enough to make any
American citizen proud of his
government And the American
man is the model of today.”
After the lecture Mr. Bryan
went to dinner with Mayor King.
Hearing Mr. Bryan’s reference
to his appreciation for radishes
Mrs. C. C. Campbell sent in a
