IL.EROY DUGG AN In Charge of Circulation
WELCOME, MR. TAFT.
On the fifteenth of this month former President Taft
will come to Belton and speak at Baylor College. Mr. Taft
is one of the most distinguished gentlemen ever to visit this
section of the state and it is pleasing tc* note the prepara-
tions which are being made to honor him. Belton should
feel particularly proud of being able to bring him to this
city and no one should overlook the opportunity to hear him
speak.
The former president is the very embodiment of optim-
ism and his ability as a statesman has never been questioned.
Whatever blunders that may have been charged up against
him in his career were political blunders and these have
always stood out to his credit rather than to his discredit.
A goad thinker and a good speaker he will entertain his
hearers and will say something that should be of everlast-
ing benefit. ,
Belton heartily extends to the people of Temple and to
the people west of Belton an invitation to come and hear
Mr. Taft. The opportunity to see ox hear such a distin-
guished American does not frequently offer itself in this
■ section and this city should be congratulated on the splen-
did reception which is being planned for the former pres-
ident.
OUR YOUNG MEN'S CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
fs *
g . * As we see it the Young Men's Chamber of Commerce of
Belton is an organization of the people of BeltQri, by the
people of Belton and for the people of Belton. It is an
; organization which stands for the development of the entire
town, the further advancement of its citizens and the wel-
fare of the people in general. It is just an organization that
takes the lead in the enterprising movements of the city
and its trade territory.
All towns of any importance in Texas have similar or-
ganizations but we are vain enough to believe that ours is
a little better than the majority of others. Its members are
wide awake always carrying in mind those things for the
betterment of the town. It has proved that ti is a good
thing fo rthe city in its past achievements yet its real fu-
ture lies before it. Great things for Belton are planned by
B it for this year and Belton citizens should feel it a privilege
I to have a hand in the program it is to play. A larger per
cent of the citizens of fhe town will have a hand in the
program, still there are sc\me successful business men in
Belton who have never joined the organization. Belton
should be 100 per cent strong in this organization. Join to-
day and have a hand in the development of the city and its
business enterprises. '
SUMMER CONCERTS.
Ill BELTON CIDCII
TEMPLE DISTRICT OF CHRISTIAN
CHURCH HAS SOME SPEC1AE
WORKERS HERE SOW,
With a 25-piece band ready to go and with the band-
stand nearly finished the people of Belton are looking for-
ward to their weekly band concerts in the beautiful park
now being finished. "
Belton is going far in the direction of making its citi-
zens satisfied with their surroundings. A transient citizen-
ship docs not build a community of character. The flijn
who will work for the good of his jieighbor is the man who
is tied to his town. There are no stronger bands with which
to hold a man than those which make his life more pleas-
ant—more endurable because of community social activi-
t,eSThe citizen of Belton in another town will miss the
weekly concerts. He will miss the cool trees in the park.
He will long for the time when he can get back—and that
makes him a better citizen. He thinks in terms of town
development because he loves and longs for his town be-
cause of what it already is.
The whole of central Texas has an interest in the park
and the beautiful musical concerts. When the band plays
on Friday nights the cars come from places miles away to
enjoy the event. Lunches are eaten under the shade of
the trees and children of neighbor towns play on the grass
—keeping time as they play, with the strains of the music.
Someone had tQplan all this for Belton. Perhaps there
are numbers of persons that assisted in the formation of
the scheme that makes Belton more liveable. Maybe the
idea was like Topsy—it "just growed." But to say the least
it is a reflection of the ideals of a live citizenship—alert
to the good things of life and the things that after all are
rcallv the mo.st worth while.
We'll meet you at the band concert in the park beneath
the trees and sit on the lawn and listen to the music of
the water as it flows over the rocks as well as to the music
of the band itself.

Will Expand Foreign
Trade by Exhibition
Tout of the Big Ports
(Associated Pr«» patch.) .
Louisville, Ky., April 1.—A plan
has been formulated l<ere to expand
the foreign trade of the United States
through the use of shipping board
steamships aa exhibition vessels to
carry American manufactured prod-
ucts and visit the world's principal
porta
The Idea, advanced by the foreign
commerce' service of the Southern
railway and Mobile & Ohio roalroads,
has been presented to the Mldwest-
Gulf-South Atlantic foreign trade and
transportation committee, represent-
ing comercial organizations of the
principal middle west and southern
states, which has been asked to lend
its weight to fruition of the plan.
Answers to leters sent to more than
a score of cities In the organization
enthusiastically endorse the plan, ac-
cording to H. G. McLean of Louis-
ville, asistant foreign freight traffic
manager of the two railroads. ,
Mr. McLean says the-plan is simi-
lar to that proposed by the British
government which proposes a gigantic
touring exhibition for British indus-
try. The British plan, as described in
a recent American consular report,
would be Initiated with an itinerary
comprising South Africa, Australia,
New Zealand and Canada. "The du-
ration of the tour," the report says,
"will be about eighteen months and
should the venture be attended with
that degree of success which Is an-
ticipated foy it, similar projects to
other parts of the world will receive
consideration. It is Intended that
some 500 British firths shall be Invited
to take part In the tour. The scheme
has been sanctioned by the govern-
ment board of trade and the venture
will be planned and carried out by
the department of overseas trade."
Use of American foreign trade ex-
hibition ships, Mr. McLean said,
would enable hundreds of American
manufacturers periodically to exhibit
their products before thousands of
foreign buyers. Such exhibitions In
charge of competent salesmen, he
declared, would make possible a vast
co-ordinated American foreign selling
organization. "Moreover," said Mr.
McLean, "the exhibitions are abso-
lutely necessary to meet the combined
plans of hundreds of British manu-
facturers who are backing the or-
ganization of the British products
touring exhibition."
Furthermore, said Mr. McLean, It
would enable a very large number of
American manufacturers, who have
never thought In terms of export
trade, to enter that business at a com-
paratively small cost.

Ghosts! Indians Sees
Dead Members ol Tribe
Resurrected in Movies
time the projection machine began to
click—-haying been equipped with a
private electrical appliance and motor
taken along with the company—and
the Indiana were all attention. There
were some in the audience who had
seen motion pictures before, but there
were others who bad not.
Indian figures in fantastic datices
began to zig-zag and wig-wag'across
the screen, and there was a buzz of
excitement throughout the audience.
Then there was a mysterious noise
from a rear seat and one aged red-
skin hurriedly left the place. The ex-
citement grew and within a few min-
utes the picture was playing to empty
•eats.
"They don't like our show," said
Mr. Fairbanks.
"Heap like big show, but they see
heap big ghost," said a more en-
lightened chief who remained, with
members of the Fairbanks company.

(Temple Telegram Special.)
Los Angeles, Cal., April
Ghosts of the living tread!
It was the first time the Hopl In-
dians had ever seen themselves on
the screen—and as some of the mov-
ing figures on the shadow canvas had
recently died—the redskins were pos-
itive that the ghosts of yesterday had
arisen and were parading In some
mysterious fashion before them.
Such is the story told by members
of the Douglas Fairbanks company
upon their return this week from
Arizona, where Mr. Fairbanks has
been filming scenes in his forthcoming
production, "The Mollycoddle.
It was this way. When an advance
guard went to Arizona to find suit-
able locations they came upon a tribe
of the Hopi Indians engaged In an
annual fiesta of some kind, and the
oamera man proceeded tophotograph
the festivlUes, along with other pic-
tures of house, mountains and soforth.
When the Fairbanks company re-
turned to the location—which is at
Palacco, more than 100 miles from
Holbrook, the nearest railway "sta-
tion—it was planned to give the In-
dians a thrill in the matter of en-
tertainment. The pictures had been
developed, a screen was erected and
a miniature projection machine was
rigged out and put into operation.
The Indians were called in as Mr.
Fairbanks' guests, and everything was
set for a pleasant evening. After a

WE LIKE TO SEE PEOPLE CONSERVATIVE
But when so many tell us, as they have recently, that they are getting
10 to 12 gallons of milk dally and only selling a few pounds of butter a
week, at 40 to 60 cents a pound, in trade,—when we are begging them
for the cream at 60 CENTS PER POUND FOR BllTTERFAT. we feel
that that Is carrying conservatism too far. By using a cream separator
that amount of milk would bring in a cash income of $50 to $60 per
month.
We will sell you a Viking Separator at $85, and let you pay It out at
$1.00 per week.
