1JARD TIMES in Coleman arc Jus*
n imaginary and this column can
prove it. The little flurry is due to
misplaced confidence—the desire to
'll merchandise without making
loper investigation of risks; the
eagerness to loan money without
considering thoroughly the borrow-
er's integrity and ability and willing-
ness to pay.

I AST YEAR not a car of grain was
“ shipped from Coleman. What
little was purchased by dealers was
retained by buyers and sold back to
sellers at a profit. Thts year Cole-
man has shipped approximately 200
cars of grain. As many cars have
been, or will be shipped from San-
ta Anna. Valera, Talpa and other
towns served by a railroad are mak-
ing large shipments. The difference
between nohe last year and 350 or
400 cars this year is probably more
than $200,000. As many cars and as
many dollars, produced at 15 cents
per bushel, is better than no cars and
no dollars.

CEED CROPS in the county are
r better than they have been in
two decades and the outlook now is
that the county will produce enough
cotton to clothe the teeming millions
of the worjd, and even if the prioe is
not what it ought to be it will fetch
more cash than no cotton at all
would bring into the county. The
crop last year was negligible. Wc
should all pay up if wc can and be
careful henceforth and forevermore.
We should not expect the govern-
ment to feed and clothe us nor look
to the Texas legislature to repeal or
remedy the Immutable law of supply
and demand. We must be the ar-
chitects of our own financial condi-
tion. For the past twenty years it
has been too easy to borrow and to

Work Started Today on Coleman
This City and Sweetwater Jobs to Be
Erected Simultaneously Says
Superintendent
Work on the Coleman post-
office building started yester-
day morning. The material
house was erected on Concho
street east of the location and
trees are being grubbed today.
Frank Cannon, with Christy-
Dolph Construction Company,
headquarters in San Angelo,
was here to start work. He
will work between this city
and Sweetwater.

Houston Officers
Chief of Police W. E. Bradford
Saturday arrested W. N. Riley, for-
mer Coleman county man, and held
him until Tuesday for Houston of-
ficials, who came for him that day.
Riley is wanted in the Harris coun-
ty town on charges of automobile
theft.

It will require about 4',i months
to complete the local job, Mr, Can-
non said, and postal employes ought
to be able to eat Christmas dinner i
in the new building. Some changes!
are contemplated that might cause!
some delay, but every effort will be
made to hasten completion of the
building.
This morning when contractors ap-
peared at the scene a large number
of laborers were present hoping to
find employment.

pHE ONLY WAY the Texas legis-
lature can improve the price of
il and heal the ills of a great in-
ustry is to pass a law that-will ef-
'ctlvely prevent the drilling of addl-
orial oil wells for a period of two
ears. Supplies in storage will be
Misumcd while rigs are 'dormant
nd the old price that made prosper-
y in west Texas will be restored,
uch a law would also preserve, as
0 other law will, natural resources
f the state for posterity.
• > • •
rHE SAME is true of products of
1 the farm. If farmers would
lant no cotton, no wheat, no oats,
0 nothing for one year prices would
Mir. But for the legislature to tell a
armer what he can do with his own
1 not right or just. For this reason
his pastor has never believed in a
iw regulating the acreage a man
an plant to a given crop on his own
arm, nor a law saying how many
ans of tomatoes a merchant can sell
n a single month. Too many regu-
atory laws will destroy prosperity;
title industry and eventually create
he worst condition this country has
ven been confronted with. The bet-
er plan is for the state to conserve
latural resources, regardless of men
,nd personalities, and let men work
ut their own financial plans without
r.tcrferencc.

rHE CITY of Sweetwater's munici-
1 pal plants last month made a
irofit of more than $6,000. It’s nice,
ind reflects some degree of prosper-
ty in the Nolan county town. But
t is too much profit for a munici-
rnlity to make in a single month,
n a year's time profits at that rate,
vould amount to $72,000 or $75,000
is much as the average county’s
;rain crop will produce in
i single year. Rates should be low-
red so that the profits will never
exceed $2,000 in a single month. The
llfferencc saved to the people would
K spent lor merchandise and every
)ody would get some of the percolat-
ng cash. A better kind of pros-
perity would prevail. If it takes all
i man makes to pay for water, his
iewcr, his gas, his lights and his tele-
phone the poor devil has nothing left
[or pleasure, groceries and dry
;oods, and every other industry is
nore or less disturbed. Public util-
ities have a very effective way of col-
lecting accounts that is not given to
merchants, doctors, lawyers, tinners,
olacksmiths and candlestick makers.

-THERE HAVE BEEN entirely too
many peddlers of various kinds
in Coleman recently. Some of them
made sales. They ought to be taxed
put of the city. They ought not to
be patronized. What money is spent
should be spent locally with men
who are here permanently; men who
have helped and are helping to make
Coleman a better city. A man was
here a few days ago peddling or tak-
ing orders for water filters that at
tach to hydants, at,' we believe, $3
each. He sold some. Men who are
here permanently are paying for a
$20,000 filtration plant at Lake Scar-
borough. Lake water is one hundred
per cent pure, says the state health
department. Such being the case,
no man needs a $3 filter. But some
men have buying mania and can be
sold anything from a rat hide to a
ranch by the crudest salesman. An-
other gentleman was peddling .shoes.

Lake Ran Over
Spillway After
Sunday Rain
HEAVIEST FALL IN WESTERN
PART OF COUNTY. COTTON
BENIjpiTTED.
A tailor-made rain fell in Coleman
county early Sunday morning. In
town it measured 1.12 by government
gtiagc at the W. J. Stevens home. In
the western part of the county the
fall was much heavier, but light near
the Brown and McCulloch county
lines.
Hord creek was running bank full
Sunday afternoon and a i'A foot rise
at Lake Scarborough was running
water over the spillway. Water holes
were filled.
The precipitation will mature corn
and other row crops and will almost
insure a a, average cotton crop.
Ranges have been refreshed and gar-
den planting will take on new life.
The cotton crop is well advanced
and very little additional rain will
be needed. It was not suffering, but
the rain was welcomed.
All sections west of Coleman coun-
ty had previously received rain and
all rivers south and west have been
swollen. •
School Pupils
At Watts Creek
To Be Examined
Mrs. B. B Nunley, principal of
Watts Creek school, has just annodn-
ced that there will be a general
health examination Thursday, Au-
gust 3, of all children who attend
the school. Mrs. Nunley will be as-
sisted by two medicaj doctors, a den-
tist and a trained nurse.
A number of Coleman county home
demonstration club ladies have com-
pleted arrangement to attend the
Farmers' Short Course at A. & M.
College at College Station which will
open Monday, July 27 and continue
through the week. The ladies will
leave on a special train Sunday, July
26 and return to this city Saturday,
August 1.
Five dollars won by one of the
ladies in a living room contest will
be hsed to defray part of the ex-
pense of the trip and the balance
will be made up among the various
clubs. The delegatlpn will be headed
by Miss Gertrude Brent, Coleman
county home demonstration agent.
Those who will make the trip are
I Mrs. M. W. Cathey, pantry demon-
strator of the Brown Ranch club;

test conducted in the winter.
Nearly every year a delegation has
gone from this county to tHe college
to attend the short course and infor-
mation gained by the ladies has been
of inestimable value to them in their
work in the clubs they represent. It
has also been of value to Miss Brent
in advancing her program in the
county.

Martin Says
Streets Will
Be Improved
WAS IN ABILENE MONDAY TO
DISCUSS STREET IMPROVE-
MENT WITH W. R. ELY.
C. W. Martin of the Martin Brick
Company was in Abilene Monday to
discus., with Chairman W. R. Ely of
the Texas highway department con-
templated street Improvement in
this city. Upon his return he told
a Democrat-Voice representative to
tell readers of the paper that it will
not be long now until a contract
will be let for brick paving on streets
that connect with the San Angelo
and Abilene highways.
For several months the city and
Citizens of Coleman have been work-
ing on the two propositions, but un-
til recently no definite action was
taken. At a recent meeting of the
city commission the body agreed to
defray the major position of the ex-
pense if the state highway depart-
ment would let the contract and su-
pervise the work. Property owners
will be required to pay their pro
rata share of the improvement.
Mr. Martin could not say when the
contract will be let, but expressed the
opinion that it will not be long de-
ferred.

Burkett Pool May
Be Shut Down In
Coleman County
A complete shut down of the Bur-
kett pool in Northeastern Coleman
County from which 600 barrels of
high gravity sweet oil is being pro-
duced daily, hinges on final action
of two or three operators in the dis-
trict who had not been reached by
the committee carrying on negotia-
tions.
The Burkett pool, discovered by
Ekholm & Brown and Arcadia Re-
fining Company, now claims 25 oil
wells and two gassers. All wells are
pinched to less than 25 barrels daily
but the pool has rated potential of
1,500 to 2,000 barrels daily. Produc-
tion is shallow, coming from around
1,700 feet and only a few wells on
the western edge arc showing wat-
er.
Oil in the Burkett pool Is posted at
10 to 22 cents per barrel, the aver-
age gravity production bringing 18 to
19 cents per barrel. Texas Comp-
any is the only purchaser in the dis-
trict.
