Praises for West Texas
In a recent letter from Hon.
L. C. Smith of Kansas City, Mo.,
he highly praises West Texas in
general and Kimble County in
particular. Aside from Mr,
Smith being a leading banker of

ognized as being a very vai-
uableVsset to farmers and st ck-
men who are reaping great ben-
efits through his substantial
financial backing. It is the un-
limited confidence that this finan-
cier has in West Texas as a fruit-
ful country and a land where
opportunities can not be estimat-
ed that is responsible for the in-
terest he has. Among other
local interests of Mr. Smith is
the First National of Junction.

haled. You will Lave to make
many changes. It used to be
that a jigged pair of trousers
and a hickory shirt were vote
getters but these will spell de-
feat where the new type of suf-
fragans do the voting. Fresh
