THE ADVERTISED TONV&
If you could takn two towns of
about the same size and wealth
in one of which the newspapers
carry a lot of advertising of
their home stores andl in the
second of which but little such
advertising was printed there
could be no doubt as to the rel
ative future of those towns in
coming years.
The town that uses advertis-
ing would attract attention to
its retail business through the
outlying country. You would
see the automobile parked all
along the streets. Every issue
of its newspapers would carry
the message that that town was
a live business place and such
factors would make that town
grow.
Herbert Hoover has come out
strongly against repeal of the
18th amendment. He might as
well because that amendment is
there to stay put for some time..
It will be interesting however
to watch the development of
Hoover's suggestions for change
in the enabling acts thrown
out no doubt with the view
of catching as many wet votes
as possible. It should always be
remembered that acceptance ad-
dresses by the nominee are al-
ways made primarily and solely
for vote-getting purposes.

John and Broney Donoho who
went to Bishop about two weeks
ago for the purpose of buying
cotton in that section of the
state until the Grandview mar-
ket opened have returned home.
Broney states that it will take
from three to seven acres to
make a bale in that immediate
section of the state and that
little cotton was on the market.
The crop was cut short by dry
weather he states. Grand-
view Tribune.
Reports from Australia show
that the wool clip of that coun-

twice as much wool as there was

TO" ESTABLISH f
RURAL SCHOOLS
Belton Aug. 15. Move
the establishment of rural high
schools throughout Bell county
and dividing the entire county
into high school districts was
launched here today by the
county school board when the
body voted to have a meeting
of all school trustees of the
county here on Friday August
31.
The county wide meeting will
be devoted entirely to a dis-
cussion of the proposed plan
and State Superintendent S. M.
N. Marrs will be extended an
invitation to appear on the pro-
gram. Some of the most noted
school men of the state in ad-
dition to Mr. Marrs will also be
on the program.
County Superintendent P. L.
Stone stated that the county
boai'd is verv enthusiastic over
the proposed plan which if
adopted will put Bell county to
the front so far as schools are
concerned.
Failures of Popular Government
Considering how many politi-
cal defects they can find many
people become very cynical about
nopular government. They re-
mark that the people do not
take interest enough in politics
to govern themselves which
suggests that there will al-
ways be inefficiency or graft.
But the people never allow
the faults of governing to go
only about so far. If serious dis-
asters result from bad govern-
ment if the country was in anv
danger of revolutionary tur-
moil if corruption became fla-
grant beyond a certain point
the people can be trusted to act.
A singer was once asked if ho
could sing a certain difficult
niece of music. He said he could
if he got thoroughly mad. He
meant that he had to become
thoroughly disgusted with his
failure to get the thing righ.t
before he would reallv be in a
mood to make the effort to get
it right. The people seem some-
what the same in regard to elec
tions. In ordinary times they
attend to their civic duties in a
sleenv way and they fail to get k
results. I k
But if the failures of govern-
ment become too great people)
become anprv and administer a.k
stinging reuuite. oucu spusius
may not last lone. But politic-
ians learn some lessons from
such wallopr and they conclude
that the neople reallv want a
better article of government.
So while our country will fail fe
to get the full benefits of popu- k
lar government democracy is
not in danger. The people will
not permit wrongs and ineffic-'k
iency to go to extremes. But! Oi
how much better it would be
if instead of these occasional
snasms wmon s.ivn l.ho countrv is
from ruin the neople would at-
tend to thr business of govern-
ment as thev attend to every
day affairs and how much more
could be done for public welfare
and human progress.
Unrest In Tlie Country
IMuch has bnen said during
recent vears. about the big drift
of neonle from the country
towns into cities. It is an unfor-
tunate thing if a great number
of voung neople who were
brought up in good country
towns like those of Bell county
are dissatisfied' with their sur-
roundings and want to quit.
Here in Texas we want to
see those countrv towns pros-
perous and see them offering a
good chance to young people to
make good and we want condi-
tions such that neople can live
hanny and rewarding lives here.
A good country town gives
noople pleasures and satisfac-
iiou that are cut off in large
cities. It is something to live in
or near the open coun'ry. where
vmi can enjoy countrv poits
where if vou want to drive vour
automibile. the roads are not too
lammed with traffic.
Two linns of action aro ncod-
pA to make the countrv livnr
of Texas till moro desirable
rlaces to live in. First the'

But considering how fast cars
wear out under the hard usage
they get it is always sure that
a vast number of cars will have
to be produced annually sim-
ply to reproduce the old worn
out ones. And then each year a
new group of people acquire
car for the first time.
Meanwhile there is an enor-
mous market not yet tapped for
this great industry in foreign
lands. We have to consider that '
the United States contains only
about seven per cent of the pop
ulation of the world. All the rest
of the 93 per cent are going
to want cars some day.
But it is remarked a Iirgo
part of these people are savages
and semi-barbarous folks who
have no money to buy cars and
would not appreciate them if
they had them. To which it can

be replied that one reason why
they are baubarians is that they
do not have modern improve-
ments. Give a family of savages
a car and they are going to
ride into the towns and learn
something and send their chil-
dren to school and use thoso
cars in doing some work. Pretty
soon all their neighbors will bo
ordering cars and usually from
America.
B. B. Thien advertising man-
ager for the General Motors ex
port division said in a recent
fflffik
address that he is one of thosa
who believe that eventually tlio
United States will find its prin-
niple markets in those countries -overseas
which have no auto-
mobile industries. If so the au
tomobile industry of our coun
try is only at th 3 beginning of
its expansion. There is a chance
in it for many boys in Texa3
