PREFERS SAN ANTONIO
A great many people think the firms ] meeting has been postponed,
and persons whose advertisements ap-J Reporter,
pear constantly in the newspapers do
their advertising because they are
wealthy, and as a kind of a pension, as
it were, to the publishers.
The very reverse of this is the truth
in the business of advertising. These
firms and persons have become
wealthy and men of affairs because
they advertise constantly.
You cannot kill any business more
quickly than by refusing to invest irt
the proper use of printers’s ink. Tell
the people what you have and give
them the proper inducement to trade
with you and you need have no fear
of dull times, or being forced to quit
business. You have get to keep etern-
ally at it or see your customers leave
you and go to your more progressive
competitor, or maybe, town.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

ODEM SUNDAY SCHOOL ENJOYS
PICNIC AT PARK WELDER
A single cord is easily broken.. Mul-
tiply it four-fold and it is harder to
break. Add enough strands and you
make a rope that can not be broken.
Apply that principle to our Chamber
of Commerce. One man can accom-
plish little or nothing in boosting the
town and bringing things to pass that
On Friday of last w*eek the Metho-
dist Sunday school cf Odem enjoyed
a picnic at Park Welder, in Sinton.
A most enjoyable time was had, the
principal attraction being a baseball
game between the men and the boys
of the Sunday school.
Last year, at their annual picnic,
the boys won over the men in a base-
ball game, but this year the men got
back at them, and if revenge is sweet,
the men had their share, for the boys
went home hugging the short end of
the score. Following is a list of the
players.
Men: D. Scull, O. A. Ehlers, H. A.
Redman, Rev. H. H. Dare, E. E. What-
ley, C. E. Hart and S. L. Webb.
. Boys: Eston Hart, Chester Avery,
Jasper Redman, J. R. Whatley, Hu-
bert Kibbey, Leland Powell and Stan-
ley Webb.
J. E. (Jack) Dodscn of Sinton, pro-
prietor of Dodson’s Garage, accompa-
nied by C. A. Van Way, his manager,
was among the visitors at Southern
Equipment Company, Friday.
“Mrs. Dodson, Mrs. Van Way and
my daughter, Adele. are along with
us,“ said Mr. Dodson. “When I start
talking a trip to San Antonio the good
women folks begin packing up, as they
feel about the social, entertainment
and shopping features of San Antonio
like I feel about its automotive job-
bing facilities. Business prospects are
extremely favorable—not only from
standpoint of crops, conditions of
which are just about perfect, but also
with respect to- the rapid development
of Sinton trade territory and the
‘back--wash’ of prosperity throughout
our territory from Corpus Christi’s
area of development attendant upon
the port development,’’ concluded Mr.
Dodson.—San Antonie Express.

Now that spring is again “in our
midst,” one can almost hear the sound
of the drums and the tramp of march-
ing feet. The signs of spring make
everybody feel happy, for when the
band begins to play we all sit up and
take notice. We can’t help it. It
makes us feel both what we are and
what we would like to be. It does
not matter if the band is of the high-
est order or not; if they play in fair
time and tune it is always sure to stir
our feelings.
The heartiest appreciator of band
music seems to fall the strongest to
the boy. He may not care to learn to
play the violin or piano, but where is
there a boy who does not love a band
—and band; he admires the drum ma-
jor; he is ready and willing to carry
the big bass drum all over town, and
the bigger the drum the better the boy
likes it. Hats off to the boy! He has
the right kind of stuff in him.
What is a town without a band?
Take away the music of this old world
and you might as well stop all the
clocks, and hang a piece of crepe
on it.
A band on a May day afternoon hits
the spot with pretty nearly all of us,
and a big noise-nolling march makes
us forget the fountain of our troubles,
drives out of our minds the grocer’s
bill, the landlord and his rent, the
coal man, the doctor’s monthly state-
ment and a lot of other things of more
or less consequential worries—then,
after an hour’s time spent in listening
to the band we are better able to cope
with the problems and worries.
A band is the biggest drawing card
and advertiser that any city, town or
village can have. Merchants ought to
turn a certain amount of attention to
the band, encourage the boys to their
humble efforts and work hand in hand
with them. Barnum once said, “If you
want to attract attention, hire a band.”
We do some things better in the
United States than they do in other
countries, but we do not have enough
music in the streets, in the parks and
in public places of the smaller cities.
We seem to be the most peaceful peo-
ple in the world, and the soonest to
laugh, the easiest to entertain and
the surest to pity the under dog. It
costs something to have bands. It
costs a good deal to keep them up and
make good bands of them, but money
spent in this way pays big dividends

“And vat does he do. ze polar bear?”
