to pay all his traveling expenses

WHY NOT?
No town in Middle West Tex-
as offeis greater possibilities
for the successful operation of
a cotton mill than Cisco, and a
large number of fanners have
already expressed to the Round-
up a desire to take stock in the
enterprise. All that is needed
now is for some man to take
the lead and push the project.
It would be the means of turn-
ing thousands of dollars into
the pockets of the farmers as
stockholders which are now go-
ing to somebody else. It will
eut out a host of middlemen,
who levy their toll upon every
bale of cotton sold, and it will
be better than the warehouse
scheme for solving the higher
price problem. A cotton mill
at Cisco will pay as well as a mill
at auy other town in the state,
or a mill in any other state.
