manche high school at a meet-

000 government grant will allow,

Forty-one cars of cotton, con-
sisting of more than 1300 bales,

'veston this week via the Dublin

of the largest made from Co-
manche in recent years and is
believed to be one of the largest
made this season from a central
west Texas inland point to Gal-
veston. The cotton had been in
storage at the Brightman ware-
house and more than $150,000
had been advanced on it through
a 12c loan from the government.
It is believed that the farmers
will realize little, if any, above
the loan, after expenses are paid.

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 best interest of
the country to protect-both pro-
ducers and manufacturers. The
tariff will take care of the cue
and the processing tax will .take
care of the other.
The trouble with the present,
arrangement .is that the farmer
is limited and that limit' is ope-
rating against him in the foreign
markets. He should have the
benefit of the processing tax, as
long as the manufacturer has
his tariff, but he should have
more than that. He should re-
ceive the benefits of the tax on
what is consumed in the United
States, just as he is 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.

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 STEADY PULL
“If there is one enterprise on earth
that the quitter should leave alone, it is
advertising. Advertising does not jerk—
it pulls. It begins gently at first, but the
pull is steady. It increases day by day year
by year, until it exerts an irrestible power.”
