The West is G rowing
The incident before the Demo-
cratic state convention when the
West Texas A. and M. proposition
Was disposed of disclosed two or
three interesting things. One East
Texan said that it was his infor-
mation that West Texas was in
much need for conservation, for
fifty cents did not irritate the
reporter, but the lack of courtesy
behind the fifty cents did.
A local newspaper is a great
cart horse for the entire commun-
ity. The editor often extends pub-
licity favors that entail an ex-
penditure of many dollars for
the one item alone, and he does
it gladly; is glad, in fact, that he
is in a position to serve his fellow
man and to be of service to the
community. He doesn't require
courtesy in order to perform hi?
duty, but courtesy will greatly
aid him in looking at the event in
a broader way.
They Didn't Need to Advertise
Under the above caption an ad:
vertising agency recalls the dis-
appearance of Pearline from the
market, and ; the reason for its
owu. p;'.iH;"°a;v.Tnd i ^:r„t,the m°r-
ttesnakes hibwnate in the namO *1 ,f,
hole." Another epeeker declered . "member pyle . Peer -
' ipe? Once <it was the most popu-
lar washing powder in America.
"In 1907 Pyle's Pearline ceas-
ed advertising. 'They did not
have to advertise.' Advertising
was no longer necessary. Pearline
was a good product and every-
body knew about it.
"In 1914 the Proctor & Gamble
Company bought Pyle's Pearline,
at their own price to save it from
bankruptcy.
"In seven years the public for-
got Pearline. You have got to do
more than make a good product
You must tell your dealer and
consumer and keep on telling
them the advantages of your ar-.
tide.
"If people did not die, if peo-
ple did not move, if new genera-
tions did not grow up, if customs
and habits did not change, if
competitors did not compete, if,
people were not open to sugges-
tion, and receptive to new ideas,
then there would be no need of
advertising.
"But until then advertising is
the surest safeguard for the es-
tablished product, the most cer-
tain hope for the new idea."—Ad-
vertising Age.
that "a granite hill is no place
for the location of an agricultural
college." Another East Texan
charged bad faith on the part of
the West Texans, in that they
would call for a division of the
state if they did not receive prop-
er recognition.
Out of which we deduce two
pertinent facts.
One is the adverse opinion
about the West and particularly
the Panhandle tableland, which
one speaker termed "a granite
rock," in the minds of East Tex-
ans. They cannot get into their
heads the idea that the Panhan-
dle is a prosperous agricultural
country. They will not accept
anything but the picture of a des-
ert. They cannot accept the West
Texan as anything but a long-
haired gun-totin' illiterate char-
acter. They will not accept the
Panhandler for what he is—the
highest type of citizenship in the
World.
The other fact is the growing
strength of the West, and the
nightmare that this causes in the
East Texan's mind whenever
Words about a division of the
8tate are spoken. He knows now
that West Texas is waking up,
that her citizens are no longer
content to be the tax-payers who
also knows now that the question
Of a division of the state is be-
coming a live one in the minds of
Texans.
East Texas has cracked the
Slave-driver's whip over West .
Texas long enough, and West' and being
Texas is beginning to demand its
own.
Just to keep the home fires
burning, we want to remark again
that along about the time the
frost is on the pumpkin and the
fodder's in the shock will be a
good time to mark, designate, or
delineate in some way so that he
who runs, whether in a jitney or
a super-six, may read the names
of the streets and avenues in this
city. It is almost impossible for
a newly acquired citizen to find
his way in the city, because very
few of them carry compasses on
their watch chains. To tell a man
to go so many blocks at an angle
of forty-five degrees from the sun
to the left and then turn right
so many blocks to where the toad
hopped across the road, go over
one hill and thru two ravines at
a diagonal from the parallelo-
gram, is just as comprehensive as
tc tell a man to go find himself/
With streets designated by
proper marks, Canadian can ask
for city delivery of the mails.
Let's either mark the streets
or provide the citizenship with
charts and compasses.

A letter from relatives in Cal-
ifornia says that the raisers of
grapes in that state have had a
pleasant surprise with the com-
ing of prohibition. They supposed
that their vineyards would be-,
come valueless, but they now
find a greater demand than ever
for grapes, and they receive a
higher price than they did from
the breweries.
