itors have been asking that ques-
tion* They ask it in all serious-
ness; they are genuinely alarm-
ed about the survival of the smal*
town.
Tn the small town editor who
sees his townsmen purchasing
too much and too often from near
by cities, it is a serious matter.
Evei vbody seems to tske out; no
body seems to put In— and that’s
s dangerous condition whether it
be in a crossroads village ora

As a matter of fact, no far*
sighted city endorses any move-
ment which threatens the pio«-
i>erhy and progress of the small
towns whish dot its bintor and
The big city is the most depend-
-nt and helpless of all politica
subdivisions. Its arteries are
rooted in the towns and village*
which surround it, and, when
Uiese tows and villages are ill-
nourished, the city, too, is pret-
•y certain to wither and decay.
The greatest enemy to tne
small town Is not the nearby citv;
it is the small town citizen who
hasn’t learned that the only bun*
dred-per-cent dollar is the dodar
spent at home. Moreover, strange
as it may seem, the worst offend
er frequently is the small town
met chant who neglect* to rv ac-
tice whit he preaches.
For an appirent saving<>ta f w
c- ioe on the thousand pieces,
there are an astonishing number
»f small town merc i mts who
>uy letterheads and envelopes
from the cut-rate printers of
distant cities. Does the out-of
town printer’s employe spend his the hospital,
-hare of that dollar with the
home-town merchant? He does
not. Does the out-of-town printer
himself contribute to the home
town improvement program? He
does not. Does he bank his profit
with the home town bank? Again
he does not.
If home town people would de-
velop a sense of home-town loy-
alty, all this talk of the “small
town losing out” would be the
emptiest sort of prattle. There
never was a time when so much
opportunity for development and
growth was offered enterprising
communities. Texas* only glass
factory is located in a relatively
small town, as are her two great
sugar refineries; In point of fact,
high tension lines for the trans-
mission of electric power have
wiped out the small town’s dis-
advantages and emphasized its
1 attractions.
Mr George Stout of Joshua
Of late a great many Texas ed- spent the weekend with A. W
