Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Wofford and
family had as recent guests in their
home, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Steele
and family of Stratford on the
plains. Stratford is in a far away
corner of Texas. The Woffords once
lived there and they had quite an
enjoyable time entertaining their
friends and re-living the “good old
days.” - .
Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Burns have
returned from a trip to Edna, Tex.,
where they visited Mrs. Burns’ par-
ents.
Bobby is proprietor of the Clar-
ence Saunders store and as jsuch
is able to keep his hand on the
pulse of business conditions here
“It gives a fellow new life to get
out of Electra once in a while and

but wrote of a thoroughly enjoyable
Christmas in frigid Alaska.

7. AMERICA MAKES’HE17o?W^ PROSPERITY ••
c * J- *
It should be remembered that. the;.cause of prosperity in a country'
is not only its ability to produce,^but ability to consume.
America is prosperous not^only because its labor is e__icient, it has
great skill, and produces a large quantity of goods, but.talso because it
contains a’ very large proportion of people who want a great many things;
• The superiority of America over Europe is not only caused by the fe-
cundity of the American workman,* but also by the' supremacy of Ameri*
cah wants. ‘ . - < ” '
Recent figures show that real wa^es in the United States, that is,
wages in terms of food, clothes and rent, says George W Hinman, are
double the real wages in Great Britain and three or four times the real
wages on the continent of Europe. This is due not only to our enormous
supplies, but equally due to our enormous demand. In the prosperity
of a country must be taken into account its ability to manufacture and
transport, bpt equally important is its ability to consume.
The advertisements in the newspapers are constantly creating new de-
sires among our people. They are stimulating the want for mor? and
better things and thus creating an enormous market for our products.
Thus there is direct connection between the superior newspapers ot the
United States and its superior prosperity.
Whatever induces a people to want more and better goods is valuable,
as well as whatever stimulates them to produce more and better goods.
It must always be remembered that prosperity is two-edged. It must
include a sharp demand as well as a sharp supply. Because the people
of this country live so well and ask so many luxuries, there is a constant
' demand for the goods we produce.
We sell much godds abroad and the profits from our external trade
are considerable. But those profits are small compared with the advantage
of our internal consumption. Andrew Carnegie said some years ago that
the Pennsylvania Railroad alone carries more goods than the entire ship-
ping of Great Britain.

The chief mechanic’of this column
did not have in mind the popular ;
slang expression when he chose the
name for this outfits The name, '
as has been explained in other is-
sues is an 4«il field term. It seem§
as if the bull wheel is some sort :
of wheel on a drilling rig. 1
The head bouncer of this column
was treated to an unusual pleasure :
this week when S. L McClure and
J. O. O’Neil of Wichita Falls drove '
into town with a brand new Mor-
mon efght. The Mormon factory ’
for several years has been worl
on a straight eight, light‘car, and
the product is a whizz. The new
light Mormon is a much smaller
car than the old model Marmon—
but tne power is there. The car
represents what hunoreds of auto-
mobile fans over the country long
have looked forward to: A com^
paratively light car with a real}
high-powered motor. Mr. McClure
took away a year’s growth from the
^ull Wheel pilot’s young life ■when
he bouhedd Malbrfg a rough street
on the east -edge of the city at
35 miles an hour. He did it to
show the perfect balance of the
cp,r, the, work of the car’s hydraur- -
lie shock absorbers, anM its conse- ito^ me*
quents easy riding qualities. The enough cash
bumps were taken very nicely. The t0 bis t
new Marmon Eight seems to glide*
over the ground as if it were in
the air. It’s a great car You will
enjoy looking nt ’t at the Fr’tz
Motor Company, and if you’re ludky,
you’ll get one-of tr.e most enjoyable

Concrete, with ite smooth finish and enduring qualities, is theological J
