guests met at the Steymanu Restaur-

a most sumptuous banquet. Plates
were set for approximately thirty,
and every one present had a most
enjoyable time.
Immediately following the |,anquef
all departed for the offices of the
company where their monthly .safety
meeting wa- held.
The meeting was called to order by
the chairman, Mr. Counts. After
the reading of the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting by the secretary,
Mr. L. (>. Hennington, the members
of the line force engaged in discus
sion of the company's foreword
"Safety First " Several incidents
of where accidents occured over the
lines in Texas were read, and em-
ployees were warned to heed the
safety precautions given out by the
company. They were also advise I
to keep their tools in first class con.
dition. so as t,, avoid accidents.
After the discussions, Hr, T. 1!
ayler gave a short talk, giving the
customer's viewpoint on "Service."
In response, Mr. Haines, manager
of the company's local office, said
in part, "that every employer was
instructed to give the customers ser-
vice, no matter what time <>r lay or
night."
The Texas Powci and Light Com-
pany are to be commended for their
interest taken in the employers (,f
their company. Over the entire
system weekly safety meetings arc
1" Id for the local employees, and
every month they have a District
meeting. These meetings give the
employees tile opportunity to profit
by and to take further precaution of
the accidents occuring over the
system.
The company is also to be con-
gratulated upon their efforts in ad-

a prejudice blinds a man to the truth

The advice of scientific business is
to investigate yourself, your business
and your town.
New business, new towns, an'
fortunate in not. being fettered with j
old traditions and ideas, fortunate
that they have no barnacles on their
ships; but many towns date back a
long way and too often refuse to ac-
cept new ideas and new ways of ilo-
ing things. For thut reason they
fail to grow, fail to advance and keep
apace with modern times. Existing
in a modern day with thoughts, ideas
and ways of doing things of the past
modern opportuntiies are not recog
nized.
Old fashioned ideas will not stand
the gaff of modern business. 1:

iogan, wh'ch appears under their ad-
vertisement, "Providing for the Tex.

they are interested in Texas. At
the present time they are pushing
the movement of dairying in Texas,
and inviting the citizens of the North
to come south, to Texas, and invest
in our ever-producing lan<U. We
take our hats off to this progressive
corporation, ans assures them that
their efforts will not be in vain.
It is understood that the next
safety meeting of the company will
b#« held in March. All left assuring
the promoters of these meetings that

Austin, Texas, Jan. 23—Fruits
iiinl vegetables from Texas farms are
now moving to market fairly rapidly,
according to Bevard Nichols, editor
of the Texas Business Review, issued
monthly by the Bureau of Business
iit the UniversiCy of Texas.
"Normally the low point in load-
ing is reached in Septemlier, after
which the trend is sharply upward
until March or April," Mr. Nichols
said. "This fall and early winter,
crops have been a little later than
usual, so that shipments have been
rather light. Moreover prices ill
many cases were so low tha* only
rart of the crops were harvested. \f
this season of the year, most of the
Texa loadings are n the Ri<> (irand#'
Valley and in the Winter Garden
area.
"There were 1 ,.°i0.'. cars of fruit-
and veg"tables loaded in the ^stiite

The usual routine of business was
transacted. The new program clock
which was recently installed by the
organization at an approximate cost
of $9H.OO will soon be put into op#-ra-
tion, and the club has received many
congratulations upon the purchase of
same.
Money was allowed by the club for
trimming of the shrubbery around the
school campus, and for planting new
shrubbery, which will put the ground
in much better condition. The books
show that the club had a very success-
ful year last year, and each one are
putting forth every effort to mak<3
this year much better.
They ar - asking the cooperation of
the citizens of our city, to please keep
their stock up, as during the past few
months much of the shrubbery re-
(Vntly planted has been destroyed by
stock running at large. Please coop-
erate with these good ladies.
Another good thing these got>d lad-
i#is are contemplating is the
installation of a hot water system at
the school for the benefit of our ath-

anythng to this good cause should
get in touch with -ome of the mem.
