The use of oil as fuel for locomo-
tives on railroads in the state is be-
ing gradually extended to Include all
lines in the state by reason of the
cheapness and better satisfaction over
coal. Since the Beaumont oil boom
many years ago many which adopted
oil as fuel have never changed from
it. The Southern Pacific is one such
line. But all of the systems With tno
exception of the Katy which has nev-
er used oil even when' it was at its
cheapest have alternated as the pri-
ces changed on coal and oil. When

ABILENE Texas. The following
taken from a paper published in the
interest of the Retail Merchants As-
sociation very forcibly illustrates
one of the principles we advocate:
It is told by a contemporary that
in a smaller city in the Middle West
the inscription "Why Buy a Home?"
has been posted in Btreet cars and in
moving picture showB and 'it is ac-
companied by some pertinent answ-
ers to the query. They are:
"I" buy at home
Because my interests are there.
Because the community that is
good enough for mo to live In is
good enough for me to buy in.
Because I believe in transacting
business with my friends.1
Because I want to see tho goods.
Because I want to get what I buy
when I pay tor it.
Because my home dealer "carries
me when I run short.
BficausQ every dollar T spend at
home stays at homo and helps work
for the welfare of tho city.
Because tho man I buy from stands
back of the goods
Because I sell what I produce at
homo.
Because tho man I buy from pays
his part of tho county and city taxes
Because tho man I buy from gives
value rccolvdd always.
Because tho man I buy from helps
to support my school my church tny
lodge my home.
Because when ill luck misfortune
or bereavement comes tho man I buy
from is hero with his kindly expres
sions of groetlng; hlB word Qf cheer
and his pocketbook. If need be.
Here I live and here I buy1.
There may bo some forceful points
presented In the foregoing which
have not been considered by the aver-
age neraon. They certainly Buggeat ex
cellent reasons for patronizing home
business houseu that ought to appeal
to tho Intelligent undwrstandjng or
tho average citizen. In no other way
can a city be built up and become
prosperous And In tho lonp run the
buyer has the satisfaction of loyalty
to home and patriotic civic pride.
