TOWNS AND THEIR PAPERS.
A newspaper can never very cred-
itably repreaent a town whose bus-
iness men do not advertise. He
may howl himself hoarse bragging
about the vim, energy an enterprise
of his town, but if his declarations
are not backed up by a liberal
amount of advertising by the bus-
iness men of the town, the world
will be slow to take his statements
as true. It takes more than the un-
supported testimonial of the local
newspaper man to prove to the world
that his town is the best on the mar-
ket, and the best place on earth to
buy goods. His evidence needs
corroboration.—Toyah Valley Her-
ald.
State Press, who sees a small
mountain of newspapers each week
is downright sorry for the\p°urage-
ous souls who edit some of them
—a few of them. These papers ap-
pear weekly with well written ed-
itorals and snappy paragraphs
boosting their respective towns and
each telling what a stirring, thriv-
ing, promising little city it is pub-
lished in. A glance at the advertis-
ing pages, or where the advertising
ought to be shows that the space is
given over to plate matter or miscel-
laneous reprint, and that most of the
merchants are dead or asleep. Now,
this much is certain and does not
admit of controversy: Every good
town maintains a good newspaper,
and the appearance of the newspa-
per, indicates its condition. If the
paper looks half-starved (granting
of course, that it is the representa-
tive paper of the community), then
the town is full of tightwads, and a
town full of tightwads is a town full
of the kind of people who will neve|
do anything to improve their condi-
tion except to squeeze usurious in-
terest out of needy borrowers. This
is an advertising age, the age of
printers' ink; and the merchants
who haven't found that out are not
ordinarily keen enough to pick up
bargains for their customers.—State
Press of Dallas News.
Portales gets a sugar beet fac-
tory and new railroad all at one
shot. Their irrigation wells have
done it. Why not do it?
A combination hard to beat—
water, soil, sunshine and air. Here-
ford has a surplus of all four. Why
not make the air put the water on the
soil, then the sunshine will do the
rest.
The commissioners' court at Ama-
rillo has ordered an election calling
for a local option on Sept. 5. While
the editor of this paper is and has
always favored local option, we (the
editor) are of the opinion that the
pros are a little premature in this
explosion.
