Borger, Nov. 17.—-Two year* ago
Asa E. Ramsey was worth hail
million.
Six months ago he was flat broke.
Today, beating back, he is accu-
mulating a new fortune.
Ramsey, 62, former governor of
the tenth district Federal Reserve
| bank of Kansas, City, now is pro-
prietor of a modest bakery here.
Until early this year his life story
was like it hat of many other success-
ful financiers.

From a '"wly position in a Sulphur
Springs, Texas, bank, he climbed
steadily until he became cashier of
the National Bank of Commerce,

a bright future before It; then, ab-

It became necessary to produce

save the bank.

Without hesitation, Ramsey put
up his private fortune. He saved the
bank; but he left himself virtually
penniless.
That was early this year. Borger,
a typical western boom town, had

Texas Panhandle, where an oil boom
of huge proportions was on. Borger

THIS DIO NOT

Recently when a realtor attempt-
ed to sell a home, the wife responded
as follows:
“Why buy s home? I was born
in a hospital ward, reared in a board-
ing school, educated in a college
courted in an automobile, ami mar-
ried in a church; get my men!* at a
cafeteria, live in an apartment, spend
my mornings playing golf, my after-
noon playing bridge; in the evening^
we dance or go to the movies; when
I’m sick I go to the hospital, when
I die T shall be buried from an un-
dertaker’s. Why should we buy a
house, I ask youT All we need is
a garage with a bedroom.”
This is the routine of the aver-
FREE ADVICE-KEEP
YOUR NOSE OUT
A story conies from down South
to the effect that an over-inquisitive
man passing behind a circus tent
noticed a projection against the
canvas and put forth his har d to in-
vestigate. It was a mule and the
coroners’ jury returned a verdict of
“death by prying into what did not
concern him.” There are a great
many people who can’t keep their
noses out of other people’s business.
No amount of expostulation or
warning, seems to have any effect
upon these parties from whom
nothing from the merest trifle to
the weightiest business matter fa
sacred. They can tell you more
about your own business than you
know yourself, and know all the
neighbors think and say about you.
The wise man will find in his own
affairs without'tendering his neigh-
bor advice. If a man fa wise he
doesn't need it. If he is a fool he
won't follow It. The man who minds
his own business is respected in the
community, but Solomon says “Ev-
ary fool will be meddling.”—Trav-
eler’s Magazine.
lonely prairie waste.
Many were mnk’ng Fortunes in
Borger. But to do r.o one had to have
cither capital or luck. Ramsey had
neither. So he set to work—at the
bottom.
In a little shack, less than 20 feet
frontage on a dusty business street,
he started his bakery. He did most
of the work himself, and Mrs. Ram-
sey put on an apron and helped him.
Success Came Quickly.
Business improved. Soon Mrs.
Ramsey did not need to help, as
there was enough money to hire
workers. Now Ramsey, too, has ceas-
ed manual labor and confines him-
self to directing the enterprise.
The shop's sales total about $400
a day, and are rising steadily.
Ramsey’s return to financial sta-
bility, Incidentally, has been accom-
panied -by a taming process for the
town of Borger. No longer is this
the country’s wickedest town. Vice,
gambling and fighting have largely
ceased. Borger is notable only for
its prosperity.
Ramsey was offered Ithe post of
mayor, but was too busy to accept.
He has, however, let his associates
elect him president of the chamber
of commerce.
His ffiends see him well
way to become again one
West’s financial leaders.
Houston, Texas, Nov. 20.—Reports
to H. H. Schtuz, government statis-
tician here, indicate that fanners are
turning from cotton aa a money crop,
after this year’s low prices.
A Hopkins county farmer writes
that “diversification and assistance of
the farm bureau association will solve
the problem for the cotton farmer. I
know it has for me. 1 am planting
clovers for next year—six varieties.
«gy farm is fenced into five fields,
and I have eight rolls of wire on the
ground for a hog pacture, the hogs
to clean up the peas, potatoes and
peanuts which I shall plant.
Farmers Near Appleby in Nacog
doches county are bereft of money
to buy winter clotheo and provisions,
another correspondent reports to Mr.
Schutz. He thinks the remedy is for
farmers to plant instead of cotton
solely, orchards, velvet beans, cow
peas, corn, a little cotton, and raise
chickens and pigs.
“When I came to this section in
J924, we shipped thousands of crates
of truck, Hundreds of coops of
chickens, many cars of tomatoes,
melons, potatoes, cattle and hogs,” he
said. “The people were ‘fat.’^ In
the last five years I have not seen
shipped a single car of cattle, hogs,
tomatoes, potatoes, or melons, and
the shipment of eggs will not average
100 crates a year. That's the rea-
son every one around here fa hard
up.”
A Collin county farmer advises
that in his section many “partly paid
for farms will revert to original
owners or to mortgage holders.
“I reported for the department of
agriculture about 25 years from
Farmcrsville, my former home,” he
wrote. “I have just returned from
an inspection of my farm in Collin
county and I will not get enough rent
from a $40,000 farm to pay taxes and
insurance, and I have as good tenants
as can be found in Texas.”
