Last week-end we passed through
vast stretches of near-desert land out
in New Mexico, fit only for pastur-
age for sheep and goats, and worth
possibly not more than three to five
dollars per acre. Yet, winding down
through the midst of this desert, was
a narrow strip of soil as productive
as the valley of the Nile, worth from
$300.00 to >1.000.00 per acre. What

Texas’ best weekly newspapers—a man who has all his life given
more time to work for his town and county than to his own financial
interests—recently told ine that some of the business concerns of his
town that have much to say about ‘mail order business’ and who
would boycott a citizen who orders goods in their line out of town,
are getting their stationery and job printing from glib talking travel-
ing salesmen, instead cf buying it at home. Putting it down plain-
ly, in terms that can’t be misunderstood: The business that doesn’t
support in every possible way home enterprises,, including the home
printing plant, doesn’t deserve support.”
Consistency, thou are a jewel!
We are wondering if something
can be done for that portion of High-
way 84 which lies within the city lim-
its of Tahoka, known as Lockwod
street. For some reason which has
never been explained to us, less work
has been done on this street during
the past five or six years, we be-
lieve, than any other important
street in Tahoka. If the concrete
dips on this street could be remov-
ed, the lakes thru which it passes
drained, and the roadbed graded oc-
casionally, we believe the whole
town would appreciate it. We are
sure that the city authorities feel
that they are doing their
the money they have at
posal—and we are not
anybody—but for years
been wondering why this
street is not kept in better condition.

dignation at the inefficiency and
corruption of city officials has forc-
ed the resignation of Police Commis-
sioner William F. Russell and Detec-
tive Chief John Stege. In resigning
Commissioner Russell blamed the
crime situation on Prohibition. Bosh!
Everybody knows that it is due to
the inefficiency and corruption of of-
ficials. When thirty-ninfc murders

to all the home enter-
prises, including the newspaper, but we can name two or three of
the ni *.t "prominent ones”—those who preach loud and long about
trading at home and “keeping Littlefield money in Littlefield,” who
are guilty of the very charge that Mr. Mayes makes in his article.
It is generally conceded that a newspaper, at least of high qual-
ity such as is the Leader, does as much if not more than any other
one agency to build up the community, bring in more people :Mnd
increase property values. It pays taxes and never kicks about its
renditi n values to the assessor, contributes to the upkeep of the
schools, churches, athletic programs, charity, and everything else
that comes along in addition to giving away free in its columns
yards and rods and miles of space in boosting the town, community
and county. Should not the 1 cal newspaper, which is admirably
equipped to turn out first class job and commercial printing at very
reasonable prices, be considered when “keep Littlefield money in
Littlefield" is being preached, and demand the same consideration
that the grocery stores, dry goods stores, cc nfectiomeries, filling
stations and every other line of business in Littlefield is demanding.
We believe such is only right and fair. Read Mr. Mayes’ article
and
(Lamb County Leader)
Will IL Mayes is widely known throughout the state as a col-
umnist of considerable import, his column entitled “Texas and Tex-
ans" appearing weekly in hundreds of papers published in the Lone
Star State. Recently he had an article of interest about the “home
merchant” who preaches “trade at home” and then spends his mon-
ey for stationery and other supplies, which
furnish as good and as cheaply as they are
talking traveling salesman.”
Most Littlefield merchants are loyal

Some members of the State Press

newspapers should give no free

think they are in error. It is
that there are candidates who
work the newspapers for all the
space they can get. Newspaper pub-

in the publication of political matter

the newspaper would be failing mis-
