Institute for
Teachers Here
Mt. Pleasant will again be the lo-
cation for the Teachers’ Institute for
Titus, Franklin, Morris and Camp
counties at the beginning of the
school year this Fall, according to
Superintendent F. T. Ward.
This means that there will be ap-
proximatley 300 teachers here during
the entire week. Of course, many
will come in cars, and will return
each night, but the city will be filled
with visitors all during the day, and
Jilt. Pleasant will have to begin plan-
ning some entertainment for them, so
that we will insure their return next
year.
The Institute for both white and
colored teachers will be held during
the week beginning Monday, Septem-
ber 7, and an interesting program is
being arranged for the occasion. The
instructors for the white Institute
will be from the Southeast Texas
State Teachers’ College at Nacog- '
cloches with the exception of the
teacher in primary subjects, and this
instructor has not yet been secured.
Mr. Ward is now busy trying to se-
cure someone for this work.
W. F. Garner, a well known teacher
will be conductor of the Institute, and
will teach the High School subjects.
H. Hines will be teacher of the

THE DIFFICULTIES
OF MAKING A
LIVING BY LIES
One Summer afternoon it occured to
me that I was about to be married
and that I should need, along with a
new necktie and a fresh shirt, a wed
ding ring,
I called at one of the best jewelry
stores in New York, but it was Sat-
urday afternoon and the door was
locked.
On my way to the train I wa3
tempted by a store which advertised
in large letters that it was “Selling
Out.” 1 stepped in.
A clerk produced a tray of their
best wedding rings, 14k gold, explain-
ing that 14k gold was the kind to
buy, since an 18k ring was too soft
and would dent or bend.
His sauve assurance that I would
save money, since all their prices had
been reduced, was very convincing,
determined to wait until Monday
morning and see what the best store
had to offer.
Imagine my surprise on Monday
when I was shown 18k rings at a
price several dollars cheaper than
the poor store was charging-for 14k
rings. It was a lesson jj/iye never
Survey Shows
Farm Loss
. Over Country
Washington, Aug. 11.—A survey
just completed by the department of
agriculture showed that the number
of farms in the United States de-
creased last year by 30,000, or one-
half of 1 per cent, while cropped
lands decreased 1,200,000 acres, or
one-third of 1 per cent.
The idle acreage, exclusive of sum-
mer fallow, was estimated at 25,000,-
000 acres. Enormous areas of idle
land were reported in the Southern
states, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mon-
tana, Washington and Oregon, reports
from fourteen states each averaging
a million acres.
The last acreage of new land
brought into cultivation was the dry
farming areas of the great plains
farms is believed by the department
to be due partly to consolidations. It
was general in Central and Southern
Georgia, Southeastern Alabama,
Michigan, Missouri, Southeastern
Idaho and Eastern Washington.
DIDN'T NEED THE LANTERN
Two business friends who lived in
the country met one day, and one in-
vited the other to dine with him that
evening.
At the appointed time the guest set
forth in the direction of his friend’s
house and as the roads in the village
were somewhat dimly lighted he took
with him his old fashioned stable-
man’s lanter.
The dinner was good, the wine ex-
cellent, and all went merrily.
The next morning, however, he re-
ceived the following note from his
host of the night before:
“Dear Old Man: I am sending my
man over to you with this note, and
he takes with him your lantern. If

Now, here is the interesting thing.
The store that was “selling out” that
day is still “selling out,” still catch-
'ng suckers on3 by one, while the
stores that tell the truth and give
the service grow richer every year
from repeated busiuess.
Sometimes truth has hard sled-
ding. It does not always get across,
usually because it is not presented
interestingly enough, or with suffi-
cient punch over a long enough per-
iod.
Noah is an example of a perfectly
truthful advertising campaign that
was a failure. He told evryobd.v
that there was going to be a flood,
arl liObody believed him. He tried
to work *oo fast, with too little copy,
in too few publications. You can’t,
sell such a radical new idea as a
flood with one announcement.
I!ut, gi.-en a fair chance, Truth us-
ually wins, and it certainly does pay
the dividends. Sometimes all busi ■
ness men will understand this. They
will know what Mirabeau meant when
he said: "If he. ;esty die', not exist
it would bf necessary to invent it a3
a means of enriching one’s self.”--
