MeKINNEY, TEXAS, MAY z6, 1924:
"It Is my opinion that such an-
nouncements as the automotive in-
dustry has been accustomed to make
during the summer will this year
indicate a higher trend of prices,
says Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., President,
General Motors Corporation.
“The question can best be under-
stood by an analysis of what has tak-
en place so far in the industry.
Compute the price that is paid for
a motor car today with that paid
for the nearest comparable car six
years ago. In the case of a motor
cur a smaller number of actual doll
lars will purchase an immeasurably
better article judged by any standard
that may be set.
“The reason for this is that motor

Miss Grace Leigh Scott, social mor-
ality lecturer for the National organi-
ration Of the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union, delivered two in-
teresting addresses in McKinney, Sun-
day. In the inorlhg she spoke at
the Central Presbyterian church and
at 3 o’clock in the afternoon at the
Pope Theatre. She was greeted by a
large audience in the morning, but
the afternoon audience was small,
on both occasions, she delivered mes-
sages, in which she told of the work
of the W. C. T. U.. in America and
the fight that is being made to keep
America dry.
Miss Scott worked overseas dur-
ing the late world war, in connection
with the Y. M. C. A. work "over
there." Her reference to the work
overseas, her conversations with
American soldiers, made the after-
noon address one of unusual inter-
est. She made a plea for more home
training, declaring that many of the
present day evils could be corrected
in the home if the parents would
use more caution and have more
heart to heart talks with their boys

and improved manufacturing meth-
ods. This has accelerated the natur-
al increase in volume which in turn
has made still lower costs and sub-
sequently still lower selling prices.
The manufacturer has been satisfied
to take a lower profit per car which
has been compensated for in some
degree through increased turnover
which inturn tends to equalize the
return on capital employed.
"While additional economies will
always be possible, there are com-

she will be the most unpopular girl

most conventions is getting down to a
business basis from the standpoint of
cities. In the case of the State Firemen
there is no registration fee and the
town that bids for it does so knowing
that the visitors will be guests of the
citizenship proper. It is not a method,
however, to be condemned, this sys-
tem of entertaining conventions with
the delegates paying the greater por-
tion of their entertainment for no city
anywhere could afford very many of
the larger conventions otherwise.
Some of our Texas cities are just wak-

active and are meeting with success.

If an average family of five per-
sons bought only Swift & Company
meats for one week during 1923,
that family would have paid the
company, as profit, less than 5
cents on the week’s supply.
These figures are developed by
considering U. S. Government sta-
tistics on meat consumption in rela-
tion to Swift & Company’s profit

from the fast Prosper nine, 5 to 3,
Saturday afternoon at Prosper. Fox
for the locals was In good form,
striking out eleven of the Prosper
batsmen, and giving up five hits, but
two coming in the same inning.
Powell, who started for Prosper was
taken out in the first, after five runs
had been chalked up and no one
out. Releford who relieved him
pitched creditable ball as the local#
did not make a score off him, but
had men on third and second two or
three time# but the needed hit was
not forthcoming. C. Plumlee was the
hitting star with three hits out of
four trips to the plate. Not a runner
got as far as second base off Cox
until the six inning In which one run
was made on an overthrow Into the
crowd. The McKinney Lions are
going to play all summer and expect
the backing of the McKinney fans
as the training they get tills summer
will help them in their state race
next year.
