FALFURRIAS FACTS FRIDAY MAY 14, 1926.
ARE YOU A GOOD CITIZEN?
Chas. E. Hughes says: “The obligations of citizenship do
not rest solely or chiefly in the excercise of your privilege of
voting, nor in paying your just debts. Important as are these
duties, their performance will amount to nothing unless our
citizens are imbued with a spirit of our institutions. nnJ have
a sincere desire to better in every practical way the conditions
in human life, and to bear their portion of the public burdens,
and have the disposition to be kindly and fair in all dealings
with their fellow man.”

Editors who undertake to do something that will bring
the greatest good to the greatest numbers must in their com-
paign expect the snarls and sneers of the unappreciative and
the selfish. They must expect piddling interferences and carp-
ing criticisms, but the Editor who believes in his country will
consistently and persistently labor and strive for the cause of
justice and progress, and such course will ultimately bring a
proud triumph to the newspaper that can stand the gaff.
A CORRECTION
i;
In the last issue of Facts a
very regretable mistake oc-
cured.
In a letter received com-
limenting Facts on the excel-
ence of its “Economics De-
partment/’ and experssing a
wish that Miss Morgan, the
editor of the department,
would continue her articles
during the summer, was made
to read just the reverse.
The mistake was due to one
of those unexplainable causes
which haunts all printing of-
fices.
Facts joins its correspond-
ent in expressing a wish also
that Miss Morgan will be kind
enough to continue her inter-
esting articles while she is on
her summer vacation.
THE INDUSTRIAL TWINS
Had A Steady Already.
The pastor noticed a pretty
new face in the congregation,
so trying to be nice, he said,
“I am certainly glad to see
you here. If you will give me
your name and address, I
shall be glad to call upon you/’
“Cut the rough stuff, par-
son,” was the reply, “I’ve al-
ready got a sheik, and one
steady is enough.”

“They will not believe me when I tell them about the
glories of the Falfurrias country,” writes a lady from South
Dakota. That is one trouble all Falfurrias labor under.
When they tell strangers what can be done and is actually
being done in this country their hearers are incredulous and
doubtful. Its too good. Some day the world will wake up
and recognize the worth of this great Empire and then there
will be an exodus to this country unparalleled in the history of
mankind.
FILES STRONG BRIEF.
Conditions are growing worse and worse in Mexico. Not-
withstanding the inspired propaganda being put out by Calles
and his bunch of radicals, the truth is becoming more general-
ly known that Mexico is in a worse condition today than it has
been in the past century.
All business is practically at a standstill and high handed
oppression and flagrant violation of justice characterizes the
acts of Calles and his followers.

GROWING WORSE.
Geo. B. Terrell, Commissioner of Agriculture, State of
Texas has filed before the Interstate Commerce Commission a
strong brief in the matter of the application of San Antonio
and Aransas Pass Railroad Co., for permission to extend from,
Falfurrias South.
Mr. Terrell is well qualified to speak advisably, and in his
brief has presented incontrovertible facts and statistics to sup-
port his contention that the permission should be granted.

BUY IT AT HOME.
Did you ever stop to think that perhaps if you had tried
at home to buy that dress, that suit, or those groceries, you
could have gotten something just as good as you did by go-
ing far out of town or using a catalogue—and as low a
price ?
Too many times we feel that our own local merchants do
not have quite the stock/ that we would wish to select from or
that they cannot meet the prices offered by the larger stores
of neighboring cities. Usually this supposition is wrong, be-
cause the local merchant will naturally have less overhead,
lower rents, and less salary expense. If you will consult him,
the chances are he will stock his store with the kind of things
you want
Before we go out of town from now on, let’s give the lo-
cal merchant a chance, at least. It won’t take long to find
that you can soon buy just what you need; and you will, in
turn, know that you have helped to make your town more pro-
gressive anu yourself more loyal.
Some women are so lazy their husbands have to work
the garden.

Although the petroleum in-
dustry in the United States
really dates its comieption
from the bringing in of Colonel
Drake’s Pennsylvania well in
1859, the past 15 years has
marked the period •/ its great-
e s t development, brought
about by the very rapid rise of
the automobile industry. These
two great industries have been
interdependent upon each oth-
er, and the progress of the one
has been in many respects regu
lated by the demands and pro-
gress of the other.
At all times the petroleum
industry has been able not only
to keep pace with the automo-
bile industry in producing
crude petroleum and manufac-
turing gasoline, lubricants, and
other petroleum products nec-
essary to keep millions of cars
going, but also has been able
to develop markets for its pro-
ducts in many other industries.

Bank Depositors
Better Citizens....
When a man carries a bank account and
make* an honest and earnest effort to efP
it growing all the time, he has a deeper in-
terest in the things that affect his town and
community than the man who is making nc
effort to save one.
/
The man carrying a bank account com-
mands the confidence of the community far
beyond the man who carries no account.
Therefore a bank depositor is a better cit-
izen and is so regarded by his fellowmen.
Have you thought of a hank account in
this light?
A bank account adds to your own self re-
vt. nr spect and is of inestimable value to any
one.
Better think this over and arrange to open
an account with —
