ROAD MATERIALS IN
DEMAND.
THE ROAD BUILDING campaign
which has resulted in the issuing
of some eighty million dollars of
bonds in Texas this year has some
interesting features. The following
Associated Press dispatch from Aus-
tin under date of November 10 point s
out one such feature:
"Austin Texas Nov. 10. There Is
su serious shortage of road 'building
material in Texas according to En-
gineer "Webb of the state highway de-
srtment "'The highway department will
soon be in position to point out to
capital where profitable investment
stay he asade in many sections of the
Stated air. TV'ebb said 4 and capital in
fixing advantage of the opportuni-
ties presented will' be performing a
Teal service to the state.
"While some of the trouble in se-
curing material is due to car short-
age Mr. Webb continued the real
trouble is caused iy the shortage of
y&terial production."
An era of road building activity that
will be unprecedented in the history
of the Southwest is beginning In Tex-
as despite the recent defeat of the
state's seventy-five million dollar bond
isste. Millions will be spent for good
roads roads made of the best of ma-
terials and constructed by the best
igineers In the United States. The
demand for road materials now is
nothing compared with the demand
th.t will exist a year from now for
naost of the counties which have voted
immense sums of money for road con-
struction have no native materials
that can be utilized in permanent
road construction.
m This situation gives Brownwood a
marvelous opportunity for the estab-
Kshment of a highly profitable and
err essential industry. There is
available here enough high class rock
to: build every road that will be built
kk .Texas in the next decade. It is
located in open quarries can be crush-
ed with a minimum of handling and
can be loaded onto cars with no. other
power than the force of gravity. The
mountains just west of this city aie
almost solid rock of a quality which
lias been given a practical test as
road -material and these mountains
are. within a few hundred rods of both
tie Santa Fe and Frisco railroad
4
tracks and higher than the tracks
so that a gravity loading system could
easily be installed
Properly developed and properly
exploited this road building material
could be converted Into a highly prof-
.
liable Industry on a minimum qt
Wrorkfng capital. Brownwood should
apt permit .such a splendid opportu-
pity to escape.

;OUST THE RADICALS.
Y- ' J -i- -
?tE DRIVE ON radicalism which
has been begun by the natioriAl
administration is receiving the com-
mendation of the press and people of
the entire nation. For once partv
lines are disregarded as leaders in
every state announce their steadfast
support of the government's campaign
in rlA this rnimtrv nf thfl fteitfltnr. iha
radical the destroyer of peace and
government
It is undoubtedly a great task which
the government has undertaken bu:
the government is great and with the
solid support of a right-thinking citi-
zenship will be able to accomplish
tke purpose in view which is to
make America safe for Americans.
This warfare against the radical diB-
turbersi who have insinuated tliehi-
selves Into the ranks of American la-
bor and industry is. as holy a war as
was that in which this nation Joined"
to make the world safe for democracy.
It is a part of the world campaign to
make the democracy safe for the
world It is a campaign for liberty
self-gpyernment political and indus-
trial freedom and peace.
Labor has suffered severely because
of the; radicals in its ranks. Industry
has suffered because of the unrest (in
the ranks of labor. The entire citi-
zenship has suffered because of the
unsettled condition of Industry. The
radical is the responsible party. He
must be ousted; he must be deport-
ed; the bars must be put up against
him (so that he can never return.
There is no point at which a com-
promise is possible.
The annual roll calltfor the Red
Cross ended on Armistice Day. If our
hearts were interested in the great
humanitarian work being done by 'the
Red Cross then our dollars went into
the treasury of the organization. If
not 4but surely this great "war moth-
er" has not been so soon forgotten.
For the first time in several sea-
sons the Christmas shopper this year

and pay whatever it costs with no
body to say "Save this or that" And
the average Christmas shopper will
wait until Christmas eve to buy and
to. pay.
Ohio is dry" and under the consti-
tutilbnal amendment effective January

Apparently Ohio wants a drink but

Can Germany recover from the blow
