RIVAL OIL CONCERNS
TO BOOST PRICES
Texas corporation and Gulf Pro-
duction company last Friday were
expected to post prices on crude oil
meeting- the increase announced on
Thursday by Humble Oil and Refin-
ing company of Houston and Carter
Oil company of Tulsa. Similiar ac-
tion was awaited from virtually all
other major purchasers.
The new prices on a sliding scale
of 5 cents a barrel increase reach a
maximum of $1.76 a barrell for 44
gravity oil in the Mid-Continent
fields around Mexia, Powell, Rich-
land, Wortham, Lytton Springs, Cur-
rie, Moran and Nocona.
This is an increase of 24 cents a
barrell for this gravity of crude.
The price boost is regarded by oil
men as a turning point in the pe
riod of depression which has held
sway for more than a year. It is
the first price change since Feb-
ruai-y 21.
Though Gulf Coast crudes remain
unchanged in price, inci-eases are
posted on Panhandle and West Tex-
as crudes. In the Crane, Upton,
Crockett, Pecos and Winkler county
crudes, all grades are raised 5 cents,
now being 65 cents.
“Value of a barrel of light crude
to the refiner has increased recently
because of the advance in the whole-
sale price of gasoline,” is was ex-
plained in a statement issued by W.
S. Farish, president Humble Oil and
Refining company. “On the other
hand, the value of heavy crude has
declined with the decrease in the
price of fuel oil.”
Further change is “entirely pos-
sible,” Mr. Farish stated.
THE PULLING POWER
OF GOOD PUBLICTY
One merchant said wait till trade
gets good, Dick, and we will give
you an ad. No that fellow’s idea
of space in a newspaper is of no
value, but when times are good he
buys space to help the home paper
along. His conception is womg,
the time to advertise is today, to-
morrow, next day, this week, next
week, when trade is good, and es-
pecially when its is slack, that’s the
time to advertise. One merchant
says I haven’t anything to advertise
—wait until my new goods come in.
Wrong again, boy. All or most of
your year’s profits are in your rem-
nants, old stock, hard stock. New
goods are ready sale, old stock is
hard sale—needs to be pushed. Pub-
licity is the act that moves ’em.
Newspaper space vs. circularizing
—Which? The great big business
world has at last waked up to the
value of advertising in the country
weekly, for the reason that its the
best read paper in the world—the
whole family reads it, then the
neighbors come in and read it, ads
and all. How about the circular?
Get this, the value of newspaper
space depends largely on the buy-
ing power of its subscribers. If
they be cotton farmers—one crop
system, their buying power is nil—
about three months in the year.
How about Albany and Shackleford
County? Richest town and county
in the State per capita—Albany
banks have over two million dollars
on - deposit, and on a basis of three
thousand folks for Albany, that is
right at $7,000.00 per capita. Now
this money don’t belong to the big
: oil corporations, they send their
1 money to the big towns, the big
banks—No, no, it belongs to the
small oil operators, the cowman, the
farmer, the sheep man, the dairy-
man, the poultryman, and lastly, the
pig man—folks who have something
to sell every day and every month
in the year—possessed, of buying

afternoon for the regular monthly

Did it ever occur to you what an
important thing the seeming unim-
portant thing courtesy, is?
A friend of the writer recently
went to Detroit on a business trip.
He stayed there three or four days;
when he came back he was enthusi-
astic about the city. It was, he said,
a great town.
Questioned, he could hardly ac-
count for his feeling. He* wasn’t
greatly impressed by the tall build-
ings, the industrial development, the
shipping. It was just a feeling he
had carried away with him—a vague
liking for the city.
At last it came out. It happened
that all of his contacts had been
marked by courtesy. The employees
of the hotel where he stopped; the
clerks and stenographers in the of-
fices he had visited; the policemen
he had talked to on the street cor-
ners; the salespeople in the stores
he had shopped in; all had been
pleasant and courteous to him. The
result was that he had a friendly
feeling for the city without exactly
knowing why. They made him like

comes larger. It destroys first the
neighboring villages, taking from
them their commerce and leaving
them only the production of those
things on which to feed the city.
Extending its reach, it draws into
its devouring clutches the near-by
towns and small cities that are

prises even though stocks may not
be quite so large or prices so low.
They trade at home. .They are on
neighborly terms with the nearby
cities, but careful to see that neigh-
borliness does/not result in their own
undoing. They produce crops and
merchandise with which to supply
the cities. They make their own
towns and sma I communities so attractive that the

DRUNKEN DRIVING MUR-
DEROUSLY INTOLERABLE
—o—
No person who becomes intoxica-
ted should be permitted to drive on
the streets and highways of Texas.
There is menace enough in traffic
with every driver sober. There is
no excuse for any person driving
while intoxicated. He should be de-
prived of license to drive. And the
license never should be restored to
him unless he can prove satisfactor-
ily that he has given up intoxicants
altogether. Such an act is wantonly
criminal and may bring disaster. No
person, driving along a street or
highway, is safe if a drunken person
be driving along the same street or
highway. There is no knowing when
the intoxicated driver may crash nito
the machine of a careful driver, or
power. That’s the kind of folks | strike a pedestrian. There is no

For more than fifty-four years
the Rev. Dr. George McCormick has
preached from the pulpit of the
United Presbyterian church at Sali-
nas, Cal. The little church was built
in 1873 and in all those years it
. has had only one pastor.

such thing as assurance of safety
when a drunken driver goes forth
into traffic.
The public should be protected
against this potential peril. The
only way to protect the public is to
deprive drunken drivers of license
to drive.

GREED OF THE CITY
Every city is constantly reaching
out, like a huge octopus with its
many deadly talons, for something
new on which to feed. It must do
this to sustain its growth. It must
provide from outside itself some-
thing on which to feed its increas-
PROVIDING GOOD PASTURE
BEST FOR GOOD RESULTS
Providing adequate pasturage is
one of the first essentials in the
profitable production of livestock in
Texas, D. T. Killough, agronomist,
experiment station, A. & M. college
of Texas, pointed out in a discus-
sion of “Temporary Pastures” be-
fore the livestock sections at the
nineteenth annual Farmers Short
course here. Pastures are classified
as permanent and temporary, he con-
tinued. Temporary pastures, as the
name implies, have to be resown
every year.
“Since tempox-ary pastures are in-
tended to carry stock for only short
periods and the crops used for this
purpose have to be resown one or
more times a year, they fit well into
a rotation or cropping system on the
farm. Some of the principal crops
used in planting temporary pastures
consist of sudan grass, cowpeas, Soy
beans and velvet beans for summer
pasture; and small grains, such as
wheat, oats and rye, alone or in
combination with winter field peas
or vetches, for winter pastures.
“Sudan grass is probably the most
widely known annual summer pas-
ture crop in Texas. It is very
dx-ought resistant which makes it
suitable for, planting in the western
sections of the state where rainfall
is often the limiting factor in crop
production. It is equally well-suited,
however, for pasture in the more
humid sections of Central and East
Texas although it is difficult to pro-
