Many people who go to the
cities found that the only people
yho call on them are those who
wiint them to contribute to
something.
Cold statistics shows that
each citizen's share of the .na-
tional debt I'b $96. In spite of
the income variations it is not
probable that the humblest cit-
izen could pay his share of the
webt for $96 and have done with
it
In his message of Deccmbelj
G President Coolidge called the'
retention of congress to thirty-
three matters on which legisla-
tion is needed. Yet more than
four months Have gone by and
scarcely any of the big prob-
lems are settled.
Congress has spent much of
its time discussing the various
charges ot scandal 'and matters
under investigation. These in-
quiries were greatly needed and
Congress has done well to push
them. But the committees ap-
pointed to conduct them wen.
supposed to attend to these mat-
ters leaving congress as a whole
free to attend to its regular
work. The country will fail to
see why so many of these vital
matters have been neglected.
People who are living in cit-
ies and big towns usually find
that it is extremely costly to
make any improvements in their
places owing to high labor costs.
The result is that many fami
lies are delaying in painting
their houses. They let their
woodwork walls and floors go
until they often become very
shabby and perhaps suffer de-
terioration. People who rent
homes have to pay for these
chrages in high rents. Such
work is not so costly to the coun
try town people for several reas-
ons. Country town workmen
do not usually demand extrava-
gant wages. Much of this kind
of work is done by job worker's
-ho are willing to put in a good
day's 'work .for a moderate
price. Their costs of living are
not so high as in the cities so
they can well afford to work for
less. Also many of the country
town people do these jobs for
themselves. In that way the
very heavy burdens created by
the high rents and labor costs
of the cities are avoided.
The state democratic conven-
tion to be held at Waco this
ytfar is but little more than a
month in the future. Based on
developments in Texas within
the last few weeks the gather
ing there promises to be the
most spirited contest of the
kind ever held in this state un-
less some "comprimisos" are
made in advance of the Waco
moeting.

COTTON LAND $25 and $30 PER ACRE
The famous Yellow House Ranch formerly owned by the late
Major Littlefield of Austin Texas and located on the South
Plains of Texas in tn eiuuoocic section is on tne maricec m
tracts of 177.1 acres known as a labor of land. The land that
nve are now offering for1 sale at $30.00 per acre is located from
d to 8 miles o fthe fast growing town of Littlefield that has a
good eleven grade high school churches cotton gins bank
etc. an ond the main line of the Santa Fe Railroad from the
Gulf to California.
You can buy a 177-acre tract of this fine Chocolate I oam Cot-
ton Land with the small cash payment of $5.00 per aero with
the privilege of paying the balance in easy payments over a
period of 10 to 15 years at 0 per cent interest with all notes
payable on or before This low price and liberal terms makes
it ppssible for a ma" of small means to buy and pay far a
home in a section th u is free from the boll weevil and where
some farmers have paid for their land with one yeav'.s crops.
To prove to you that this is a cottoif country we offer the fol-
lowing data taken from the Government Cotton Statistics:
The South Plains Cotton Crop in 1919 was 9240 bales in 1920
123000 bales and l'.tt.63$ balos for 1923 ( valued at moro than
$26000000.00. For the crop year of 1919 Lubb;clc County
more than doubled Ell:? County in the per acre production of
Cotton and just about loulnYd the combined average produc-
tion of Williamson Bell Collin McLennan and Ellis five of Ihe
leading Cotton Counties of Texas where land sells from $100
to $250 ner acre. '
The per acre average for ten leading varieties grown on the
Slate Experimental Farm located near Lubbock for the past
ten years has been 348.87 pounds of lint cotton or in round
numbers 3-5 of a bale per acre or more than three times the
State avearge for the same time.
If you believe the above figures you are bound to know $30.00
land in that section will double in value in a short time. And
it is a duty that you owe yourself and family to investigate
this matter and buy while you can get a choice location this
low price and' liberal terms of payment.
Wo expect to have buyer's leaving Williamson county every two
weeks to inspect our lands and will be glad to have you join
us any time you can make the trip. Further information will
gladly be furnished by any of our local agents or

One of the best sides of small
town life is the fine time which
it gives to young people. The
great majority of young folks
are completely lost in the life
of cities. Unless their parents
have cosidernble money or are
prominent in society their
young people are likely to be
ignored.
Millions of young people
grow up in cities without the
satisfaction of belonging to any
particular group or bunch of
people 6f their own age. They
get their fun merely from chas-
ing around after shows and en-
tertainments. But those do not
take the place of the jolly life
of a small town crowd.
In a town like Bartlett life
is democratic. No group sets
itself above others and claims
exclusive privileges. The young
people all get acquainted in
school and they are intimately
tied with each other. They all
get a chance at all the fun there
is going. They form close as-
sociations of friendship that
last all their lives.
Young people who never have
had this expenenc of growing
'up with a country town circle
have missed something out of
their lives. Never again and no
whore else can they get the jol-
ly comradeship that develops
from one year's end to another
in a round of parties and out
door sports and picnics and all
the other jollifications.
The result that small town
young people freqnently have
better manners and moro social
experience than those brought
up in bigger places who have
not been able to get into the ex-
clusive sets of their own towns.
Families that move away to the
cities with the idea of giving
their young people better ad-
vantages often find that they
have gone farther but fared
worse and that their children
could not gain entrance into the
social circles that they desired.
HIGHWAY SAFETY
Secretary Hoover has called
a conference of representatives
of eight association connected
with automobile insurance and
other business interests to see
if something can not be done on
a nation wide scale to redttre the
number of highway accidents.
The accidents are occuring on
the highways daily constitute a
imtional disgrace and they make
the use of the public streets in-
creasingly unsafe. It is a mat-
ter however that- must be con-
trolled largely by local authori-
ties. The public would not tolerate
it if a great number of irre-
sponsible and reckless people
were allowed to operate railroad
locomotives. But hundreds of
thousands of such people are
turned loose on' the highways.
Strict examination of applicants
for automobile licenses reduces
the number of daredevils some-
what but the moist 'reckless
driver may be able to show ex-
cellent skill when his driving
abilities are being tested. What
is needed is such strict enforce-
ment that speeders will be re-
moved from the roads for per-
iods sufficient to cultivate their
caution.

Its an optomiBt that sees any
calm in the approaching cam
paign.
The Lord helps them who help
themselves by helping others.
According to Judge Munroe
ihe law in its present form
works an injustice on the poor
man and invites those with the
necessary cash to violate. Dis-
pensation is now in the hands
of the doctor the druggist and
the bootlegger. Since doctors
prescribe liquor for certain dis-
eases influenza and pneumonia
for instance it must be neces-
sary. It ought therefore for
medicinal purposes to be in the
hands of the government which
could make a price under these
circumstances which would not
make it prohibitive to the poor
for whom it is prescribed.
