YES WE 'LL SA Y THE | GANG WAS ALL THERE And There With Goods as B "ell as Eats When Students Wes ley Bible Class of City Road Methodist Church Held Their Annual Banquet on Thursday IKight "Hall, Hail, the Gang's All Hero,' t sang the Students Wesley Bible Class of City Road Sunday school, as the dofrs of the banquet liall iu1 the annex Were thrown open for the i guests to enter Thursday evening. With such a welcome, formality J was laid aside, and thj^Jun began. It was the annual banquet of the class1 of which Mrs. N. H. O'Neal is presi' dent, and G. F. Seyffert Is teacher.) There is a membership of 68 and they are such workers that when the pastor or the Sunday school super intendent of City Road want a task accomplished they have got the hab it of just telling Mrs. O'Neal, *nd preeto, pretty soon it's done. Mrs. O'Neal told of some of the class's accomplishments In a brief after din-| ner speech, but between the applause j of the entire crowd and the songs; of the cheer committee she did not! have a chance to tell it adequately. Mrs. Daniel Lane also spoke of the fine work the class is doinf. The pastor. Rev. Daniel 1 ane, was called upon to respond to the toast, "Our Ladles," and spoke so appreci atively that when Mrs. G. F. Seyf feit whose subject was "Man" wasi called upon, she hadn't th*3 heart io' deliver lier speech. However, it wasj very clever, if not altogether eulogis tic, and here it is: I Tlrenvute ho is a gentle beast, So is man; He's satisfied to be the least, So is man. Like man he may be taught somej tricks, He does his work from peven till six, The mule when he g^ts mad he kicks; _So d *oq? man. The mule is sometimes kind and good; So is man. He eats all kinds of breakfast food; So does man. Like man he does not ^earn for style, Hut wants contentment all the while, r?he mule ha has a lovely smile; So does man. The mule he has a load to pull; So does man. He's happiest when he is full; So is man. Like man he's glad when his day's work's done. So he can skip and hop and run. The mule he's often full of fun; So is man. The mule lie has hi* faults 'tis true, So does man; He doe.-? some tricks he should not do, So dors man. Like man he balks at gaudy dress, And all out-landish foolishness. The mule is accused of muleisliness; So is man. Mrs. M. W. Davenport's theme was "Our Guests" and these she wel comed in a very happy way, and Mrs. James Davis spoke on "Where to Take Hold." Songs and stunts were interspers ed throughout the evening anrt the delicious turkey dinner with all its pleasing accompaniments stood no chance of not being digested with all that laughter .and jollity. W. ft. Overman demonstrated the class motto, "In union there is strength," by trying to find a man in the crowd who could bret k a bun dle of small sticks which he had securely tied together. Mrs. Bran don Davis demonstrated ten differ ent kinds of smiles, Paul Thompson ten laughs, and Mrs. Casper Lumb ten kinds of handshakes. Ohe of thf most convulsing stunts of all was when Kennedy Davis and Miss Es ther Woodley were blindfolded and told to feed each other with a Hpoon from a bowl of crackercrumbs The secretary, Mrs. James M. Hill, read a letter from Rev. H. K. Mey ers, former pastor, expressing regret that he could not attend the ban quet this year. Dr. N. H. D.

Better Marketing Will Help Statistician Finds That Manufacturing Is Going Into Agri cultural Section of the Middle West By ROOKH W HANSON' <C?*yri|ht. 1924, By Th# Advanc?', Babson Park, Fla., Feb. 29. ? This is the fourth section of my report on general business conditions based upon my recent personal tour of investigation. ? My finding for the north Mis sissippi states show Missouri leading with a gain of 16 per cent in crop value over las\ year; Nebraska coming next with a gain of 11 per cent; Min nesota third with a gain of 7 pfer cent; and South Dakota and Iowa each with a gain of 3 per, cent. Kansas shows a loss of fii per cent and North Dakota a loss of-36 per cent. When in Minnesota recently I made a statistical jinalysis of each of the western central states. comparing .sources of purchasing power and rel ative condition. It is generally un derstood that crops provide the ma jor portion of the income of this sec tion anrf^-that manufacturing plays | a relatively small part. In genera' this is true but the increase in man ufacturing has been vory rapid re cently and our old conceptions must be corrected if we are to think con structively regarding this section. In North Dakota I find that 95 per cent of its purchasing power comes from agriculture. At the other ex treme Missouri secures 52 per cent of its purchasing power from this source. The orther states rank as fol lows: South Dakota, 94 percent; Ne braska. 82 per cent; Iowa. 79 per cent; Kansas, 70 per cent; and Minn class, the Sunday school and the I cl.urch. The ladies prepared and served the delicious feast, decorated the banquet hall with flowers, candles, flags. and made the pretty George Washin ;ton place cards, besides | looking out for the entertainment and comfort of their guests and get ting off the delightful program, and the guests were not surprised that such a fine spirit of work and co op eration had made a name for the Students Wesley Bible Class of City Road Church. esota, 57 per cent from agriculture. These figures indicate that there is more diversification of income in this section than was ordinarily sup posed. Analyzing the situation a bit further we uncover another mistake en impression. 1 find that business men in other parts of the country,! at least, discuss this section as 'the I wheat country' and talk as though they assumed that wheat was the most important crop if not the great- 1 est source of Income. \From an~ ag-] TlCttlFural standpoint the figures on; the relative importance of this crop, are decidedly interesting. In North , Dakota and Kansas only do we find] it as the most important crop. In j South Dakota, Nebraska, ftrwa and Missouri corn provides a greater in-.j come an'l is more important to the prosperity nt a local community, j Analyzing the situation in Minneso ta I find that wheat represents but] 17 per cent of farm products, while i 23 per cent is derived from hay, 22 I per cent from corrn, 13 per cent from oats and 25 per cent from miscel laneous products. Judged on the basis of live stock) production these states of the West, Central Group divide themselves in-j to two clearly defined grmips. The; income of Minnesota and the Dako-; tas is almost wholly bound up with! dairying interests. In, Nebraska,! Kansas, Iowa and Missouri, how-j ever, I find the principal live stock; income derived from eggs and chick- j ens. It is apparent that the agricul tural interests of all of these states] are already practicing diversified, farming and it is- high time that the] Continued on Page Eight Registered At' Southern j Among those registered * Thurs day at the Southern Hotel were: J.
