City of Union Offers
Lot for War Garden
With the true spirit of patriotism
Mr. T .A. Murrah has donated for
the use of the children as a War
% Garden, a lot owned by the city, in
the triangle where Pinckney and
Church streets meet, just a nice lo
cation for the purpose intended. Ad4iti?nally
Mr. Murrah offers some
Ratable manure for the lot which will
v jcwre <rf value. This is the second
lot donated, the first being by Mrs.
J. Frost Walker, Jr., at Douglass
Heights.
The Chamber of Commerce needs
about three more lots in different
parts of the city, one or two somewhat
centrally located, the other in
West End. As soon as these lots are
forth-coming the organization of
young gardeners will be begun. The
Central graded school has already
through the Principal, Mr. C. C.
Thornton sent in about 125 applications
for space in the War Gardens,
a proof of interest. It is desired that
others having lots to offer should do
M at once that the work may be systematically
started. As yet no special
person has volunteered to raise
the tomato and cabbage plants for
the War Gardens. No doubt a num
ber would do so if asked, but volunteers
are more desirable. Seeds for
these beds will be donated by the
Chamber of Commerce, also and instruction
desired as to arrangement
of the bed ,etc., and if application for
this honor is deferred too long an
offer of the sash and material for
the necessary frames will also he
made. Weight (wait) broke the
wagon; let's get together and have
the finest collection of War Gardens
at Union. Sure we can do it.

Efficiency and Practical Ideas
Helpful to Merchants and
Salespeople
One of tlie best thinirs alonjr educational
lines that has come to our
notice recently, and which has secured
a irrcat deal of commendable
publicity from newspapers and let
ters 01 endorsement ircui dumih^^
organization in the largest cities is
the lecture and moving picture on
Retail Merchandising that, is heinqr
sent out by the National Cash Register
Co., of Dayton, Ohio. The Union
Chamber of Commerce has been able
to secure this entertainment for the
benefit of the merchants and clerks
of Union and will be presented at
the dnurt House Friday, March J at
7 :H0 o'clock p. m.
The title of the pictures is <<rrlie
Trouble? of a Merchant and How to
.^top Them." The feature film was
made by the Essanay Company, at
great expense, and is pronounced ono
of the cleverest pieces of work ever
produced covering retail merchandising.
The wide-awake business ma,, today
is eager to keep pace with the
latest ideas of storekocing and better
ideas in merchandising and these
pictures and lecture come to our city
at an oppo-tune time. The lecture
covers: Retail failures?their causes;
store organization: newsjnaper ad
vertisine; window display; clerks' efficiency;
selling1 methods; credit busjnoen
/1 <-*1 ? ? /% ?> ~ 1-1 - ? ? ^ '
...?r wry |iniuirnis ,sino system
in retail business.
A no one of these subjects would be
of preat interest to the merchants
and clerks and the one in particular
which should receive favorable consideration
from the business man today
is the value of newspaper advertising?.Tudisciously
and constantly
used. The lecturer will erive some
useful hints alonp these lines, as well
as other phases of efficiency methods
that will be helpful to the merchant
and clerk.
There will also be run a humorous
cartoon and altopethcr the propram
will be one of the most pleasincr entertainments
ever offered to our business
men.
There will be no charge for admission.
