1'ItOMOTlNG TRADE
IN IJAUTLETT.
The advance of a own depends
m large measure on he activity
which its merchants show in
holding the trade that naturally
belongs to them and reaching
out for more. Many rural cen-
ters are the natural trading
point for a large territory yet
by the lack of a certain spirit
of hustle and enterprise they
may fail to gel the retail busi-
ness that they could have and
the progress of their community
is hampered.
Every town center should do
a certain amount o.f active and
co-operative work in pursuit of
.this end. The fall and winter
season is a splendid time to con
aider this matter and lay plans
i for the future development of
I rotail trade. Committees should
be working plans hero in Bart-
hett oy which our retail business
cmifi mow natronaire from a
1 wider territory.
Afirst requisite in any such
campaign is of course a ration -
I n amount of advertising. When
the merchants of a town udver-
liso they not merely compete
witli each other in a race to see
which shall win the most public
interest. They also work united
to puush the town aneati.
The man in the country who
reads A's advertisement in the
Tribune and is interested to come

so take the time while here to
pie the advantages oi waiting
The following is taken from a
writer in the Elgin Courier and
!a nlimi loiric. worth while:

Political corruption and wicked
ness today is getting to bp as
was Babylon in the time of Rel-
shazar. Let us not bo deceived
"God is not mocked." Whatso-
ever we sow as individuals or as
a nation that shall we also reap.
We hear' a great deal nowadays
about higher educaliqn and col-
lege degrees. From t!.e begin-
ning of creation it was designed
that man should labor. Agri-
culture was a very early culture
and no government ever did or
ever can prosper without it.
Away back in the face of Greek
and Roman contempt for labor
even ever Jew was compelled to
learn a trade. Jesus teamed a
trade that of a carpenter and
notwithstanding Roman opposi-
tion to labor He chose His apos-
tles rom the working men of
Galilee. Paul emphatically sayi:
"If any man will not work neith
er nhall he eat." Shame on the
man who eats from the sweat of
his neighbor.
Edward E. Bartlett is presi-
detn of the New York cotton ex-
change. It is his contention that
the ravages of the boll weevil
takes millions of dollars out of
the pockets of the consumers of
cotton. Tihs may be true but
the ravages of the boll weevil
does not take millions of dollars
out of the pockets 0 fthe grow-
ers of cotton. A normal crop
this year would have setn cot-
Ion down to 10c cotton would
have pauperized the farmers of
the south.

(GROWTH OF HIGHWAY
TRAFFIC IN TEXAS.
Texas in highway matters is
in the position of the boy who
has outgrown his clothes. It
isn't his fault. It will do no
good to scold or abuse him. The
remedy is to got him a new and
larger suit and also make allow-
ance for his cnolinued growth.
Rapid increase in volume
weight and speed of highway
traffic is causing all highway
trouble.
Where we used to have twen-
ty. to thirty vehicles per day we
now have 600 to 1000 vehicles
per day.
Where tha speed was- formerly
four to eight miles per hour it
is now twenty-nvo to thirty
l ln'llos.
Whore the loads were two
tons e must now carry five to
ten tons.
Highways now carry more
passengers than the railroads
and nearly as much freight and
at nearly as great speed.

1010 there were registered
exas about 10000 motor vc-
and road revenues aver
aged $500 per motor vehicle.
In 1922 there wore 525000
motor vehicles registered and all
road revenues amounted to only
(?50 per vehicle.
In twelve years highway traf-
fic has increased fifteen times
as fast as highway revenues. In
the last twelve years Texans
have bought 750000 ne wears
at an average cost of $800 total
ing ?gooooooou.
Highway revenues to build
roads for these cars to run overt
have totaled less than one- third
the cost of the mochinos.
It is the lime of the year when
the complaint is made that my
pastures are being over run with
hunters nut gatherers and ot-
her trespassers" and this not-
withstanding the fact that the
law against trespassing is very
specific and is not of late en-
actment. We do not suppose
there is an adult no nor child
old enough to hunt or gather
nuts who docs not know the
law and in nine cases out of ten
the parties offending would feel
a great insult had been put up-
on them if they were called dis-
honest or accused of taking pro-
perty that did not belong to
them or dislroying property.
What is the difference in taking
that which will bring money or
taking the money? But the
greater complaint is not made
against what is taken but against
the actual damage done to pro-
perty. The principal complaint
now is the damage being done to
pecan trees. The nuts are not
yet ripe but parties are enter-
ing pastures and frailing the
trees not only bring downing
immature nuts and wasting the
crop for this year but injuring
tho trees in a manner that will
shorten tho crop for two or three
voars to come. This is not en-
