GRIFFIN RETURNS FROM
JL M. A. STATE CONVENTION
AT FORT WORTH
. J. C. Griffin reports a auccesftful
•tat* convention of the Retail Mer-
chant* Association and other kindred
Crganiaations which are concerned
with credit matter*. He says that in
•very session of every " convention
credit Is the leading topic of dia-
CUMion, but this year the war situa-
tton •Dtered into the discussions al-
B0«t as prominently as did the 1 sub-
let of credit. All speakers referred
to our participation in the war as a
certainty and discussed the inevitable
conditions that will come during the
reconstruction period after the war.
It was the concensus of opinion of
the speakers that financial matters
will be far worse than any of us
have eer known when the war will
bf over. Therefore,—the burden of
their advice is for us to watch our
Step from now on and hedge against
those days as much as possible.
Mr. Griffin says that a round
table discussion—conducted on the
plan of popular question and answer
method much interest was put into
it by paying for correct answers.
When his number was called, he was
told that he would be given 12.00 if
h* would give two concise points on,
*Why a business sailing goods or ser-
vice on credit should use the service I
of the Retail Merchants Association."
He says that he answered: First, that
tf a credit grantor will consistently
•nd correctly use this service it will
materially reduce his losses in sell-
ing on credit; and second, that there
i* • psychological effect of credit
bureau service that makes all people
of a community good-credit-record
Conscious, and thus improves trade
relations of the community. This ser-
vice, or feature, of the service of a
Retail Merchants Association helps
every business in a town whether the
business pays for it or not; and it is
a moral obligation of such business
to pay for this feature of the service.
Mr. Griffin says he was awarded the
cash premium without further com-
ment. - ’■ ‘

SATURDAY WILL BE
POPPY DAY
An appeal to all patriotic citizens
to wear a poppy on Saturday was
issued today by Charles Wachendor-
fer. Commander of Lampasas Post of
The American Legion. Describing the
poppy as a badge of patriotism. Com-
mander Charles Wachendorfer asked
that it be worn by everyone in the
city during the annual observance of
Poppy Day to show a united front
for America.
In his appeal the Legion Command-
er said:
“The poppy is the memorial flow
er of our comrades who fell in
France. We wear it to honor their
memory and to aid those who were
disabled, their families and tho
families of the dead. Wearing the
poppy is our individual way of show-
ing that we remember and are grate-
ful for the sacrifices made in tho
cause of patriotism.
“Symbolic of life sacrifice .for
America, and made by men who have
sacrificed health and strength for
the country, the memorial poppy is
a true badge of patriotism. With
our country again facing grave lan-
gers, we need to wear the badge and
to wear it with sincere devotion to
the things for which it sands. There-
fore I am appealing to all patriotic
citizens of Lampasas to join with
The American Legion and the
American Legion Auxiliary in the
observance of Poppy Day on Satur-
day, ay 24, by wearing an American
Legion memorial poppy."
The poppies, which have been made
at Legion Hospital at Legion, Texas,
will be distributed throughout the
city Saturday by volunteer workers
from the American Legion Auxiliary.
All money contributed for the flow-
ers will go into the Legion and Aux-
iliary welfare funds.
