O. W. CROSS. Ed,to, . The publish€d
'mm the Clarksville Times, although it di-
rectly refers to the financial depres-
sion, also reflects in a number of
ways, the policy of our own paper.
We ask that you read it carefully:
John E. Owens, vice president of
the Republic National Bank and
Trust Company of Dallas, and a direc-
tor of the Red River National Bank
in Clarksville, told the members of
the state hardware dealers associa-
tion in Dallas Tuesday the depression
will end when people stop talking
about it.

A number of years ago Mt. Pleas-
ant and Titus County gained a state-
wide reputation as a manufacturing
center for moonshine whisky, but The
Times seriously doubts that Titus
County ever had more moonshine
, whiskey than the average East Texas
county. Hundreds of reports were sent
to outside newspapers and the people
, began talking about it. When news-
paper reports ceased the people ceas-
ed talking, and we seldom ever hear
of a raid or an arrest in Titus Coun-
| ty any more.

1 up” crime news and you never hear

Many years ago Red River County
was regarded as the greatest long
staple cotton producing county of the
South, and Clarksville gained a wide
J reputation as the highest priced cot-
j ton market in the South, outside of
(the Mississippi Delta section. Tnis
! was because The Clarksville Times
gave wide publicity to long staple cot-
ton and high cotton prices. Never
during this entire period, did cotton
prices exceed prices paid at the same
time in Hope, Ark. Almost daily Hope
prices were slightly above Clarksville
prices, but nobody in Hope supplied
