SPRING AND OPTIMISM
Three signs mark the ad-
vent ol" spring when it comes
to stay in the Panhandle ol"
Texas." Boys start playing mar-
bles, men begin playing golf
and discussing a good place
for a vacation where fishing
is good as the barber stropes
his razor, and lovers stroll lei-
surely in "the moonlight be-
neath the stars, more brilliant
on the plains than elsewhere.
Spring brings a renewal of
good feeling between nature
and mankind. Warm days
ahead, gentle breezes from
the south and a realization
that the sky is blue adds an
imputus to activity in every
phase of industry. Up and
down the main streets of Bor-
ger the hum of activity is
increasing daily and the side-
walk is crowded both after-
noons and evenings.
There remain a few mer-
chants and citizens however,
who refuse to shake off the
rolemn grouch of winter They
notice crowded streets and in-
creased payrolls and still say,
"Well, we'll all have to be
amoving on: before long now.
There is nothing permanent
about an oil town."
The sooner the pessimist,
with no reason for his asser-
tion. moves on the happier his
neighbors and his fellow men
will bo. He moves with the
seasons, grows weary of the
vvinter and the spring and is
forced to follow the fortunes
of the tramp, because he is
unfit for a community which
builds upward instead of
looking back.
Borger has ne of the larg-
est weekly payrolls of any
city in West Texas. Industries
employ hundreds of men and
companies have banked mii-
lions on the future of the city.
More men are being employed
every day as spring advances.
The slreets are crowded af-
ternoon and evening. The out-
look is optimistic for 1!)28 to
be an even greater era of* de-
velopment than the past
twelve months have been.
There i em a in but a few balky
horses who must inimitably fall
by the wavgiue.
It is at this season of the
year when we need most to
roll up our sleeves and make
our business and our city I he
pride of the community which
we represent.

I For six nights this year l.r.OO to
U?|800 vtoters assembled to listen
i to plans for conducting the_ govern-
ment for another year, to make sug-
gestions themselves, to debate and
finally to register their approval or
' disapproval by vote.
j Three selectmen, one chosen each
j year for a three-year term, are dele-
' gated by the voters to carry out
their wishes. A slate of lesser offi-
icals and a finance board also is
chosen yearly.
Some citizens argue that the old
! democracy is antiquated, that ii is
too cumbersome for so large a town.
They feel that there is not the co-
ordination and co-operation there
| should be between the various town
! departments.
"i While there is ample provision for
all voters to register their votes at
the polls, the 7,500 voters of the
town cannot all crowd into the big-
gest hall in town at one time. He-
fore town meeting it was felt that
sentiment was "pretty strong" for
the proposal to petition for a city
charter.
Then, on the last night, a promi-
nent citizen arose and stoutly de-
fended the ancient democratic sys-
tem and warned against choosing

LET FORD FARM
Will Rogers, observing that
Henry Ford makes even a coal
mine profitable, suggests that
he believes Ford "could make
a farm pay."
Maybe he could, ft would
be an experiment worth while
anyway. And Ford's the man
to try it. Several times in the
las! few years lirr has dismis-
sed the farm problem with an
airy wave of the hand, declar-
ing that farmers fail because
they're lazy and inefficient,
and that all the farming neces-
sary to feed tho nation could
be done in three or four hoursj
a day. The rest of the time, he
explained on one occasion,
could be used to advantage by
letting the farmers work in au-
tomobile factories. Convenient-
ly scattered around the coun-
try. after their agricultural la-
bors were done.
All right—4ot Ford'tackle
the farm nroblem, as soon as|
that new flivver gets into quan-
tity production. Or even be-
fore. Farming's more import-
ant then flivvfering. And Oon-
greril would be glad to have
the matter off its hands.
