If Carthage is sick, or even slightly suffering from low
blood pressure, why not make a diagnosis and see what
it will take to bring her back to normal and then provide
whatever it takas.
Other towns do these things and get results.

IN THE MEANTIME—
While you're thinking about the short cotton crop and
less money to spend this year than you bad last year, don't
forget that in East Texas there is usually plenty of turnip
greens, hog jowl, sweet potatoes and ribbon cane syrup.
To think of these brings a smile even in a short cotton
crop year.

Carthage or any other town helps draw more trade to that
town.
( The people of the trade territory of any town read each
week the local newspaper and especially are they eager
to read the advertisements of the different stores that carry

Whether you have the biggest store or the smallest store
in town, you have something to offer and when you bid for
trade through your local paper, there is a sure return from
the investment of the cost of the advertising, and you help
bring trade to all concerns in the town, with a degree of
certainty of you getting your share of it.
LESS ACRES—GREATER PRODUCTION
. Just as the big corporations have learned to minimize their
overhead expense to earn the greatest, per cent on their in-
vestment, so are the farmers learning that to work less
acres intensively and secure greater production will net
them the most money.
1 Farming is as much of a business as is merchandising or
any other kind of business and when farmers come to
realize that farming is more than ploughing land and drop-
ping seed and cutting grass, they will see their profits- and
they will come more quickly to diversification as a protec-
tion against debt and failure.
Fewer acres, better tilled and scientifically fertilized will
bring greater profits with less overhead expense of operation.
No place offers greater opportunity to demonstrate the
merits of this method than East Tenxs and Panola County.
AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
We heard Pastor E. L. Hughes deliver a fine sermon Sun-
day and he took his text from one of the Psalms which
read something like this: “Happy is thy people whose God
is the Lord."
We repeat: “Happy is thy people whose God is the
Lord.”
Have you ever seen very much unhappiness among a
people whose God was the Lord?
Have you ever found many criminals among people whose
God was the Lord?
In the heart of every man, woman and'1 child, there is
happiness if it be but properly nourished and cultivated.
There is the spiritual side of life in every human, though
in some it may have been left uncultivated and without
nourishment until there occurs a state of “malnutrition,"
but in every person there is a bit of Godliness. Where there
is Godliness there is invariably happiness. There may be
adversity and grief of the individual among people whose
God Is the Lord, but not unhappiness.
Where have you ever seen more genuine happiness shine
from the faces of men than from those whose God is the
Lord ?
These are the thoughts that occurred to us as we sat
and listened to Pastor Hughes, whose exposition of the
text was clear and forceful and we realized that In our
human weakness as we go forth daily to attain success
in our work, we will never have that degree of happiness
that is intended until we can truly count ourselves one of
those whose God is the Lord, forsaking all other material
things that we let come between us and God at times when
we are weakest and think we are strongest.
