Texas built nearly a thousand
miles of railroads last year iand
the present outlook would indi-
cate a larger mileage this year.
This is a mighty good work and
we hope to see it go on, bufatthe
same time Texas sadly neglects
her wagon roads and they are just
about as essential in the market-
ing of crops as railroads. Let us
talk up the good roads building
in Texas.

Saturday was an unusually dull
day in Pearsall which is taken as
an indication that farmers are
busy and didn’t have time to comp
to town. This coming to town
business is more of a habit than a
necessity with lots of farmers and
if they would stay at home and
work their crops the yield and
their bank acconut would be great-
er at the end of the year.
D1LLEY NOTES.
We are sorry to report Mr. Dee
Stewart oa the sick list this week-
A Mr. Neil from Floresville
was shot accidently with a pistol
last Thursday night. Mr. Neil
was helping to move a bee apiary
from Floresville to Carrizo
Springs, and while camping here
in Dilley for the night started to
clean his pistol not knowing a
cartridge was in the guii he snap-
ped it and it went off taking effect
in the leg. We are glad to know
that the wound was nothing se-
rious. only a flesh wound. ,
Mr. Henry Stewart and family
from on the Leona were in, town
visiting their daughter, Mrs.
M^urt lavender.

us, but managed to miss Pearsall.
Si ill that’s no drawback as some
of our farmers are not yet through
breaking land and a rain right
now would hinder the work. Yet
a rain is welcome at any time and
we hope that it will come soon so
we can get our name in the ‘’big-
gest crop on record” this’year.
And then, lest we forget, there
is some time yet, in which to pay
your poll tax. But the time
draws nigh, when the collector
passes by, and your vote will be
sacked.

Anyhow, the politicians and
cilice seekers should keep things
lively while the farmers are break-
ing their land.

THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS
WALDO PONDRAY WARREN
GETTING THE VIEWPOINT
• t EARLY every successful salesman understands the value
|\| of getting the viewpoint of the buyer and beginning there
* * In the effort to sell him the goods. This principle might
with profit be more generally recognized by all. We often see
men working In the dark and failing in their efforts because
they do not appreciate how the matter looks to the other per-
son. A company once spent many thousands of dollars com-
piling a certain kind of directory without taking the trouble
to find out just how much the directory would be worth to any-
one after it was compiled. After a great deal of money had
been spent, and long-time contracts made, they found by In-
vestigation that the very p’ersons they had counted on to
patronize the enterprise had no need for it. They had made
the great mistake of acting on their own viewpoint without
considering how it would look to others.
It is a wholesome phase of our competitive system which
places the burden of proof on the seller. In order to earn a
livelihood the seller must sell his goods, and to d» this he
must clear a way the prejudices of men; he must seek the
viewpoint of others In order to find out what prejudices there
may be in order to know how to overcome them by his argu-
ments. In doing this he is also in a sense helping to extend
the borders of civilization; and in gaining the buyers’ view-
point he is in turn developing his own broader sympathies
and appreciation of the thoughts and feelings of his fellow
men.
