SMALL BUSINESS"

NIGHT CALLS
Small businessmen are report-
ing ligns of a business slump.
While mounting prices are a con-
tributing factor there iff a greater
primary cause.
• * *
"We are being jaw-boned Into
a depression," observers say.
They point to the great number
of bureaucrats, from cabinet
rank on down, who miss no op-
portunity to cry "Wolf."
* *
An example of this is the state-
ment by Commerce Secretary
Sawyer that heavier taxes, seri-
ous shortages, and business con-
trols can be expected for many
years to come.
• * *
Observers say Sawyer may or
may not be a competent Commerce
Secretary. But all agree he is ill-
equipped to assume the role of a
prophet; even less qualified in
International relations.
* * *
It is pointed out that bureau-
crats were almost openly scorn-
ful when Gen. Mac Arthur in July
said the turn in Korea had been
reached.
* * *
Yet, MacArthur with inspired
American fighting men scored a
success. But since the end of
World War II in 1945 no single
bureau plan for the promotion of
peace has succeeded.
* * *
According to all reports, there
is now a concerted drive to keep
war scares and rumors flying so
that the people will not get curi-
ous about domestic affairs.
♦ ♦ *
Responsible military men are
saying nothing. Some did explain
how peace could be secured;
were Immediately cracked down
on by bureaucracy.
* • *
The facts are that socialistic
planners have been uncurbed too
©National Federation of Independent Holiness
long. That's the reason for the
present inflation.
•
Now there's only two alterna-
tives. One Is to honestly admit
what has happened. The other 1s
to further socialise private enter-
prise.
• *
Washington observers don't
look for honesty. They see, in-
stead, the drive under way to
further socialize America being
pushed.
* * *
The plan is "Scare them to
death, and a frightened people
will sign away their freedom."
♦ * •
In the meantime, bureaucratic
spending of taxes takes weird
forms. Now, it develops Marshall
Plan funds are being used to
play traffic cop to the world.
♦ ♦ ♦
ECA Bulletin #6 reports that
Marshall Plan funds have been
used to build a traffic inspection
station in Athens so Athenian po-
lice can check vehicle registra-
tion, license plates, brakes and
lights. t
* * *
Use of American tax dollars
for such purposes could create a
storm that would topple over en-
tire bureaus.
* ♦ *
So public attention is kept
focused on a constant series of
alarms. Loud mouthed bureau-
crats fail to realize they are
shattering public morale; slow-
ing down the American economy.
♦ * *
And this iact may cause the
eventual disappointment of So-
cialist planners.
* * *
For when, and if, they take
over the goose that laid the
golden eggs—independent Amer-
ican enterprise—they may find
the goose died from fright.
Record High Pricos
Exist For Farm And
Rtinch Land In Texas
Record high prices for Texas
farm and ranch land existed at
the end of 1949, and land prices
continue to rise, according to a
report prepared by John H. South-
ern and Joe R. Montheral. It was a
cooperative study carried on by the
USDA Bureau of Agricultural Ec-
onomics and the Texas Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.
During 1949, Texas land prices
increased an average of about sev-
en and one-half percent, or an
average of $41.36 to $44.44 per
acre. This increase is in contrast
to the slight decrease which oc-
curred during 1948. Last year
marks the third straight year that
land prices have stayed at a record
high level, far above the high
prices which existed in 1926.
Although the price increased in
1949, the number of acres sold
was 25 percent less than was sold
in 1948. The average size of the
tracts of land sold was smaller
than had been the case for sev-
eral years, and the number of
sales dropped 11 percent.
The rise in prices occurred in
12 of the 18 lype-of-farming areas
Texas, the largest increase being
for wheat farming land of the high
plains. The average price of land in
this area jumped from $32.01 per
acre to $50.00, an increase of 65
and Mr. Johnson of Garland were
visitors here Sunday.
Mrs. Jack Mason and Margaret
of Greenville were Sunday visit-
ors here.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Eubank and
daughter of Rockwall were visit-
ing relatives here Sunday.
Visitors of the N. O. Kindles this
week were her son, Major Bob
I. Golden of Fort Sam Houston
and his sister, Mrs. W. A. Gravly
of Dallas.
Visitors of Mr. and Mrs. L. G.
Montgomery Sunday 'afternoon
were Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Dunn,
Carl Rucker and son, Mr. and Mrs.
William Gambrell of Dallas and
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. B. Gambrell
of McKinney.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Wison of
Dallas spent Sunday with her
mother, Mrs. Addie Stout.
Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Webb and
family left Monday for Carrol-
lton to make their home. We
will be missing them.

, ELECTRIC COOKING!.
i
Ji, ES, even that busy little fellow in the
ermine-trimmed suit will take time
out for a delicious electrically cooked meal! He
knows ... as Housewives the country over know . . .
a modern electric range is the difference between
really good cooking and ordinary cooking!
The accurate temperature control of an electric
range cuts on and off automatically . . . maintains
uniform H.;at as low as 150° for foods that need to
be cookcd slowly, thoroughly. That's why you *pct
wonderful cookbook results so easily, every time!
What's more, electric cooking is clean, cool, safe . ..
and economical.
The fortunate woman who finds a
new electric range in her kitchen
Christmas morn will be happy with
electric cooking at least three times
every 365 day*!

percent. Very large Increases also
occured In the grazing area of the
high plains and in the Trans-Pecos
and the lower Rio Grande Valley
areas.
The average price of land was
18.7 percent lower in the high
plains cotton area and in the
rolling plains area than during
1948. And a drop of 15.2 percent
occured during 1949 in the Grand
Prairie. A considerable drop also
occured in the number of sales and
the number of acres sold in these
areas, the acreage changing hands
varying from one-fifth to one-third
less than in 1948.
Southern and Montheral think
the rising price of farm and ranch
land in 1949 to the continued high
prices paid for agricultural pro-
ducts resulting from the increas-
ingly high incomes in non-agricul-
tural industries and government
support of agricultural prices.

DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
IN WYLIE!
We think that this Chistrr.as will be one of the biggest
and happiest ever. And to make it extra merry, Wylie
merchants have stacked their shelves to the rafters and
filled their showcases 'til they are fairly bulging with
nationally known brands of "just what you've always
wanted."
To take the bustle and push, the fatigue and short
tempers out of your annual Yuletide shopping tour, may
we suggest:
Shop At Home Where You Will Be
Served By Friends And Neighbors
Shop this Christmas at heme because you save time and
money—and still can obtain anything that's available
anywhere else. Shop at home because you are support-
ing the merchants who are supporting YOU.... through
their interest in better schools... better churches... and
a better Wylie in which to live.
Think it over: "If It's In Wylie, Buy It In Wylie."
