The Wells papers are regular user
of the "Texas and Texan-" feature
Tex a* (.real est Need
Of far more importance to Texas
than the -uccess or failure of any
nominee i- the industrial development
of the State to sustain its agricultural
grovth and possibilities. Agriculture
has almost reached the high point of
production unless it can be further
stimulated by manufacturing indus-
tries of a kind to consume the pro-
ducts of the farm. Texas is woe-
fully short in manufacturing and,
therefore, just as short in the con-
sumption of Texas products. Instead
of making efforts along lines calcu-
lated to create antagonisms, Texans
should be making strong, concerted
campaigns for building up needed in-
dustries. If only half the interest
could be created in manufacturing
that is shown in politics, Texas would
soon become noted as the great in-
dustrial State of the union, whereas
now it holds a minor position.
Textile Industry Report
For years the textile industry in
New England has been in a bad way
and it is constantly getting worse.
Many factories have moved to South-
ern States and others are seeking lo-
cations. A group of New Englanders
visite 1 Texas in April as guests of
the T xas Industrial Commission
They have issued a printed report of
their findings. The conclusion reach-
ed is that "Soundly organized, well
run plants, having quality and low
cost a their prime objectives togeth-
er with sound distribution and careful
attention to fabric selection, may well
be assured of success and prosperity.
There is no section of the United
State: which at present ha- so many
advantages favorable to cotton mill
development as the State of Texas."
These shrewd business men of New
England would hardly make a report
so favorable to Texas and by com-
parison antagonistic to New England
unless they felt impelled to do so
from what they learned.
Texas Citizenship
Being a Texan, I can't refrain from
repeating here a complimentary
statement of these New Englanders
in that report. "It was well worth
the visit to Texas to meet the many
representative citizens, and to find
that, rich 'is the State is in material
resources, it has greater reason for
pride in its citizenship. To those in-
terested in industrial Texas, no less
than to those interested in the poli-
tical situation, the words of a
Texas attorney holds true, "Tex-
as will not stand for any man or
woman who is ethically wrong." It
is good, at times, to know what oth-
er- think of us.

than one-tenth of the rat population
of the State was killed, and the re-
maining nine-tenths are left to con-
tinue their depredations and to re- !
populate the rats in the counties that
paid for their extermination Texas
needs an organized state-wide rat ex-
termination campaign.

A TOWN* GROWTH
Austin Cheese Factory
There is a cheese factory at Round
Rock, twenty miles north of Austin
j and another at Huda, fifteen miles
! south, and both are prospering enter-
j prises. Having watched the success
of these young industries, business
i men at Austin have started investiga-
tions looking to the establishment of
a cheese factory in that city. Although
it has been running only a short while
j the Buda plant is paying out nearly
$2,000 a week for milk, that much
' heinjr added to the wealth of the sur-
rounding country. To this new en-
terprise, more than anything else, is
attributed the opening of a bank at
| Buda, the bank there having liquidat-
ed and closed several months ago.
In every county and iri every state
can be found towns that are forging
mother is . an indulgent parent and
keeps a supply of pretty colored
b uncers on hand, the three children
are never without a game.
N'ow, I have been quite sure that
it could not be any fault of my good
neighbor that these children are -o
lacking in energy. She has fed them
milk regularly. The barn yard has
been recruited into service. Often I
hear a hen cackle, the back door
slams, and next a plump figure has-
tens to the chicken house. Then in
a short while an egg-milk is given
to the child that seems most puny.
I felt sorry for mv neighbor one
day last month when 1 was calling on
her. "Johnny, The Elder," as h. is

and accomplish nothing in the way :if
improvements or advancement. In
every case the fault can be found to
rest, not with the town, but with the
people..
The reason why some towns grow is

The building erected some time ago
at Marble Falls to be occupied by a
cheese factory has been sold to satis-

cheese plant never having been put

I in anything that will boom the town.
They have enough confidence in the'r
home town to erect substantial build-
ings modern in every respect and
beautiful residences and work for
public improvement in the same order.
They organize stock companies and
establish factories, induce industrial
enterprises to locate in their com-
munities and ise everv means to fur-
ther the interests of the town. I heir
work is never considered finished, and
the accomplishment of one thing is
only tho incentive of another.
On the other hand the town that
does not go ahead will be found to lie
dominated by a set of men who are
perfectly satisfied with their sur-
roundings or who are afraid that
somebody else will !>e benefited in tli^
event something is started, conse-
quently no effort of any kind is made
bv this class for these two reasons.
If some men, or set of men endeavor
to start something they are met by
opposition *ind discouragement and
it is uphill work all the way and very
often failure.
On thf other hand, every town has
a certain progressive element which
always hopes for a turn of the tide
and it will go forward by leaps ami
bounds and will occupy a position of
importance along with other numer-
ous advantages which goes to make
a good town.
But this condition cannot be reach-
ed by mere wishes or suggestions.
It can only come from harmony in
, purpose and action and the eternal
j vigilance of its citizens. The town
with these things will continue to
grow.
Bastrop has recently completed the
organization of the Lion's Club. The,
object of this club is to get the bust- j
ness men together with their feet un-
der the same table eating together,
and work out the problems of our
town in harmony, and for this group
of citizens to keep their eyes open for
the improvment and betterment of the
community. j
Bnstrop has many, many opportun-
ities, and with the cooperation of the
entire citizenship, working in harmony
| with each one, we can forsee th"
I growing of our little city by leaps anil
bounds.
