■ Governor to run
At the conclusion of his address
last Saturday R. Q. Lee, president
of the West Texas Chamber of
Commerce, was escorted by a party
consisting of County Agent War-
ren, John Scott, Rev. Bert B. Hall,
and Cliff Cates, on a visit to the
ScpttJBaits-SeUars big new poultry
farm under process of development
just west of Decatur. Mr.1 Lee ex-
pressed his surprise at the bigness
of the scale on which the plant was
being evolved. As a pronounced
west, Texas leader in the expansion
of poultry raising enterprises ho re-
garded the plana from the eye of
an expert and bespoke high praises
of what he saw. Mr. Lee paid a high
eulogy to the Decatur vicinity as
possessing unusual natural advan-
tages as a location for poultry, fruit,
truck farms, and dairy ranches, say-
ing that the growing cities immedi-
ately to the south and north would
afford a perpetual market and that
the soil and climate furnishes es-
sential advantages.
In the first with members of their families paid
a hospitable visit to Decatur last
Thursday night on invitation of the
Chamber of Commerce, and treated
an interested audience gathered tn
the new club rooms io several edify-
ing discussions of the true and cour-
teous art of selling goods, extending
the proper service to patrons ana
making friends of
slientele.
The speakers were President Fred
Jackson of the Club, Grover Godfrey,
Its organiser, and Mr. Diehl. Will
Stewart, a member of the organisa-
tion, led in the rendition of a number
pf well known songs, and his very
small eon delighted the listeners
with the excellent rendition of some
popular songs. Mrs. Jackson and
Mrs. S. TerreU Lillard officiated at
the piano. At the conclusion of the
meeting sandwiches and coffee were
served to all present.
Mr. Diehl, the chief speaker, em-
phasized the fact that purveying
goods should be regarded more from
the standpoint of providing service
than of profiting. He stressed the
importance of good breeding and
courtesy as well aa the evinoement
of a sincere interest in the welfare
of the buying patron. Salesmanship
is a real science worthy of the ex-
haustive study of all who are engaged
in the profession, and they who are
in it are doing themselves and the
public an injustice by not master-
ing what is possible to learn con-
cerning it.
! Good Crowd Listen
Salesmanship Talk
Th. .M— Last Thurs. Night
Saturday afternoon by Col. R. Q. ------
Lee, President of the West Texas Several car loads of members of,
Chamber of Commerce, was remark- the Fort Worth Salesmanship Club
able for many features. T
place he merely told the people
what was already known, but told It
so sincerely ami straightforwardly
that the truth went home effectively.
Other features that made the talk
unique were the total absence of any
praise or attempts to boost towns,
railroads, banks, west Texas, self, or
any extraneous matter not related
to the speakers manifest desire to
once again convince his hearers of
the economical subserviency of the
south on account of the failures of
its agricultural policy, the gregious
mistake of which is to neglect the
growing of feeds and food on the
farm instead of an over balanced
acreage of cotton.

KILL SIX DEER
Revs. J. L. Ward and J. M. Jones
preached two good sermons at the
Baptist Church last Sunday. About
the usual congregations were present
and felt that it was a good day. The
members are beginning to think
about the revival meeting which is
to begin April 4. Dr. Pond is hold-
ing some great meetings over the
state, and it is hoped that we may
have a city-wide revival when he
comes to Decatur.
A vestibule is being built at the
main entrance to the Baptist Church
this week so that the cold air will
not enter the auditorium aa the poo-.
pie enter the building.
The pastor will preach next Sun-
day at both hours. The spirit of
friendship and cordiality at the Bap-
tist Church is one of tbs most at-
tractive things about our services.
The public is cordially invited to.
