It Makes A Difference
Where You Buy
H. B. Harris
We haven’t a corner on all the good lumber in the
state, nor or we the only concern abiding by the
square deal. But we do try to show our customers
our appreciation for their patronage in every way
that good business practice justifies. When you
order a specified thing here you get it—promptly—
and at a fair and reasonable price. Remember that
when you need lumber and building material.

Grand Saline, Nov. 10 (UP)
—The crew on a 74-car freight
train slammed on the air
brakes two miles east of here
when they saw a man on the
track ahead wildly flagging
the train, AJfter getting the
long train stopped with much
difficulty, the head brakeman
dashed up to the man doing the
flagging to find what dangers
were ahead.
“Just wanted a cigarette,”
was the nonchalant reply.
Officers are still searching
for him.

dear mother during her long

When your
Children Cry
for It
Baby has little upsets at times. All
your care cannot prevent them. But you
can be prepared. Then you can dp what
any experienced nurse would do—what
most physicians would tell you to do—
give a few drops of plain Castoria. No
sooner done than Baby is soothed; relief
is just a matter of moments. Yet you have
eased your child without use of a eingh
doubtful drug; Castoria is vegetable.
So it’s safe to use as often as an infant
has any little pain you cannot pat away.
And it’s always ready for the cruele?
pangs of colic, or constipation, or diar
rhea; effective, too, for older children
Tteenty-five million hotties were hough

THE AMERICAN
THE CHAMPION
PUBLISHeFwEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BY THE CENTER
PUBLISHING COMPANY
Americans are the most international people on the face
of the earth. Whereas a Britisher will sail only in a British
yessel, a Japanese only in a Nipponse ship, and a Frenchman
only in a steamer carrying the tri-color, the Yankee will sail in
any boat, regardless whether it carries the American colors or
not. So it is all along the line. The Americans compose the
least portion of the circulation of American edited newspapers
in foreign nations. The American firms in the United States
place their foreign agencies not in the hands of Americans
abroad, but Englishmen, and other nationalities as well, who
are thinking first of all to advance their own markets, not those
of the New World.
This is not'because the American is not patriotic,
intensely so. But he is entirely unbiased, fair-minded
naive in international matters. He demands only to be pleas-
ed, comfortable and interested. As often as not, he has seen
neither the Grand Canyon nor Niagara Falls, but he has visited
the Great Wall of China and Mount Fuji of Japan, and will
tell you how much greater than these are the Grand Canyon
and Niagara Falls!
Revolutionary changes in the handling of state affairs are
looked forward to when Ross Sterling, governor-elect, enters
Moody’s office.
Sterling’s training has been in business. No governor in
recent years has had extensive business experience. Gover-
nors Moody and Neff both were lawyers and between their
terms Texas’ only woman governor held the office.
In a recent informal conference with newspaper men at
Austin, Sterling made it plain that one policy will be an effort
to gain and keep public confidence by letting the public know
wthat is going on. “I’ll work you fellows to death, he told the
newspaper men. “I’ll be sending for you all the time. Sec-
recy maintained during Gov. Mood’y’s administrations has been
one of its handicaps. Practically every important appoint-
ment made by Gov. Moody, became public first through other
sources than the governor. His own intentions about seeking
another term became public through a similar mannei.
Moody’s spirit spread to other departments. Atty. Gen.
Bobbitt, probably lost a large support that might have won him
an elective term, by his attitude.
With the trained lawyer’s aversion to discussion of cases,
he met inquiries with refusals to talk. In Fort Worth he main-
tained silence during investigations of ice prices that cost him
many votes. It was only in the closing months of his adminis-
tration, after defeat, that he became communicative.
As a trained business man, Gov. Sterling is expected to
work out a co-ordination of state departmental work,
business executives, it may be unbelievable, but there is no rec-
ord of any incident in which a governor has called together the
heads of all the various state departments to work out plans
or duties. If any such conference has been held, it has been
secret. There have been occasional conferences be-
tween two department managers when they have gotten at log-
gerheads. But there has been no general conference such as
is'the usual thing in big business enterprises.
Open hostility has existed at times between the heads of
departments. Conflicts between the state treasury and the
state banking department once reached a status of blows. The
highway department and the board of control have had long
battles over contracts.
The full efficiency of business organization cannot be at-
tained in state government even at the best. Checks on one
. ’department upon another have been put in the law, purposely.
Heads of many departments are elected at large. They are
_■ not subject to dictation from the governor.
Much, however, can be accomplished by adoption of a
conciliatory policy. Sterling’s feat of winning the support of
other candidates, even tho all attacked him in the first pri-
.mary, is an instance of his ability along this line.
How far he will be able to put business into government
it is hard to forsee. At least he is arming himself with good
weapons for such a fight—publicity, that will give him the force
of public opinion; and good humor, which will smooth over
many rough spots.
