WHERE WISDOM IS REQUIRED
The manufacturer has long
had the best end of the deal, be-
cause the protective tariff has
afforded him substantial bene-
fits. It has cut off competition
from foreign countries. The pro-
cessing tax has aided the farm-
er like the customs duties have
aided the manufacturers.
We hear talk of these days of
abandoning the processing tax
on cotton goods manufactured
abroad. If one can’t have the
benefits the other shouldn’t have
them, It Is said. But there are pe-
culiar conditions which make It
essential to the bo.st lntcres of
the country to protect both pr -
duccrs and manu I’elvers. Tie
tariff will take cere of the cue
and the processing '. ■< v.’i.l •
care of the other.
The trouble with pr . t
arrangement is that ” e fare: r
is limited and that limit pi-
rating against him in ike foreign
markets. He slim d l ave the
benefit of the prem , tax. as
long as the mar; urer has
his tariff, but he should have
more than that. II' should re-
ceive the benefits of the tax on
what Ls consumed in the United
States, Just as he Ls getting now.
But he should have the right to
raise cotton beyond the home re-
quirement to sell in the markets
of the old world at what he could
get for It.
Restricting the growth of cot-
ton has helped the farmer and
the Record is for it But it un-
doubtedly has reduced the de-
mand for agricultural labor and
limited employment at cotton
gins and oil mills. A way can and
must be found to prevent the de-
struction of foreign cotton mar-
kets—Waco Record.

With Your Neighbors
Everybody has a certain amount
of civic pride- — that sort of pride that
helps make a village a town and a town a
metropolitan city.
The growth of any community is
dependent upon the support given by its
citizens. If you fail in your co-operation
your town either stands still or goes back.
If you help your town, you help
yourself, your community and neighbors.
The theme of this is: Help Mills
county, Mullin and yourself by buying at
home. Be neighborly with ycur dc!kr.

THE STEADY PULL
“If there is one enterprise on earth
that the quitter should leave alone, it is

it pulls. It begins gently at first, hut the
pull is study It Increases day by day year
