Tliere are merchants and ‘‘store
keepers.” Merchants buy advan-
tageously, advertise truthfully, and
sell at fair profit. Store keepers
buy, put goods on the shelf, sell
what the public will take when it
stumbles on the fact that they
have it. bolds the rest and ‘"keeps

The Progress Review edition of
tile San Antonio Express, issued
today, is one of the best editions
of its kind from the press of any
Texas dail>. The management of
the Express is using Its columns
to sell South Texas to the world;
Ad it is sparing neither labor nor
^pense to do it.
Almost a full page, well illus-
trate!. is devoted to Kingsville.
Ttuw -opy and pictures were fur
nished by the local Chamber of
Cot tmerce.
With the appointment of R. M.
Kleberg to head its agricultural
committee, the South Texas Cham-
ber of Commerce is making an-
other step in the development of
the farm interests in this area.
E. Conner, of the A. (i I. Col-
lege has been named on the same
committee, and through the ef-
forts of these two men and others
to be selected to assist them, ag-
ricultural short courses dealing
with South Texas farm problems
will be part of the regional cham-
ber program.
The tree-sitting munia is not
over. Business has taken up the
fad where the small boy left off,
according to Labert St. Clair, who,
writes as follows in “Nation's Busi-
ness: ”
-sfjfBBfr-
What (his country really needs
is a national crusade against tree-
sitting.
W - -
lor many years we were a
united nation on the theory, as
expressed by the late Tom Mar-
shall. that what we really needed
was a good five-cent cigar. Then
along came hard times, progres-
sive cigar manufacturers and some
clever advertising salesmen and
that situatibn was cleared up. Now
we not only have excellent five-
cent cigars, but they are publiciz-
ed so well that Marshall's once
seemingly imperishable remark
is being forgot ton.
—-
However, a much graver situa-
tion now confronts ns and to it 1
propose to address a t* w words of
serious discussion.
-♦1BBI>-
You prolwblv are of the opinion
that tree-sitting is confined to a
few small boys. Also that truant
officers, cool nights and stern
purents will take care of the sit-
uation. If you share in this com
mon view, yon are deep in error.
Tree-sitting is today, and has been
for a year or more, our outstand-
ing business affliction. Cure it
and prosperity again will sntile
upon us.
