I MONEY
Money is a peculiar, elusive, fickle, myt-
rioas young dnmosef. She smiles upon
the just and the unjust, and there's no
way of telling sith whom shell next be-
come infatuated—or disgusted. Like love,
money makes fools of wite^men and wise
men of fools. Sbe f requently acorns thase
who pursue her most diligently, and smiles
upon those who treat her with utxer indif-
ference. • '<
Money has made America the richest
country in the world, and Money has made
Russia and Germany miserable and oom'.
Those who haven’t money are always
talking about wtiat they would do If they
bad it, and those who have it spend most
of their time thwarting the schemes that
are cooked up to uke.it away from them.
At forty, Henry Ford was earning a
salary of $125 per month, carrying hti
lunch hi a tin tucket, and spending bit
idle hours insclfemmg—to make money?
No!—to bring iato fruition his dream of
a horseless carriage; to bring into fruition
a seed planted ir .bis mind by a self-pro-
pelling thresher engine when he was only
At sixty, Henry Ford was the owner of
a personal fortune ,pf 1750,000,000 and
head of a $100,000,0(0 corporation.
Henry Ford is one of those who treat
money with otter indifference. His work
is his ideal, and the making of money
an incident, or a natural consequence.
He does his work with his right hand and
makes money with hit left, and we may
take it for granted that he doesn’t let
his left hand know what his right hand
‘set.
In Germany, tho mirk, once worth about
twenty-five cents, its new worth so little that
a million can be bought for a dollar; they
have to be prime i in large denominations
in order to be worth the paper they are
primed on. In Germany, the people dump
cartloads of mone-r on the merchants’ coun-
ter and beg for “just anything” in ex-
change for it. 1 \ • > .* $
The activities of money in this modern
age can teach a Vason to those who listen.
Money is valuable only when it has some-
thing of value liehind it. Money is a
promissory note on the assets of the coun-
try issuing it, and wilien money is coined
or printed in cuanritles exceeding the
value of the asiets, it then begins to
depreciate in value, with a ratio that is
as constant as the excessive quantity in-
creases. -
Also, money is beneficial qt detrimental
to the individual in proportion to what
he has back of it. Money doesn’t make
the man; it develops him and reveals him
in his true light.
Furthermore and lastly, the man who
■Mem the getting of money his life’s
work, whether hit getts the money or not,
he seldom gets anything else out of life.
Yea, money is s Hckie lass.—Southwestern

' LUBBOCK AND THE TECH
Lubbock reached up and pulled down
one of the most lusciqp plums that any
town in the state of Texas bus ever had
the* honor of getting its fingers on, It
was the big, juicy, fine flavored Techno-
logical College variety, a specie that is
not very plentiful in Texas, or in fact
in the United States, and a variety that
does not produce a crop very often, but
large tn ai*e and greatly to be desired
when a crop is produced. Lubbock got
it *
Lubbock won on her merits. Never
was a game played more fair than this
one; never during the long fight for the
school did Lubbock take to trickery or
misrepresentations of other places, or be-
littling other communities in order to
land the school but put forth a vigorous
campaign strictly on the merits of Lub-
bock and her surrounding territory, mak-
ing it a fight for the location of the
school on the Plains befievinjg that this
section of the state was entitled to it, and
set forth argument in black and white
that was convincing, that was reasonable,
and logical, that thj? committee tfcrnfd
easily figure out to their own satisfaction,
which was proven when the vole was tak-
en at Fort Worth Wednesday and every
member of the committee of live voted
for Lubbock, the hub of the Flains. It
is clear to see that they had figged the
proposition and checked up the figures
and arguments in the Lubbock briefs with,
the situation as they found it, and arrived
at the conclusion from an unselfish, un-
biased viewpoint and for that reason Lub-
bock is doubly proud of the * vote cast
and we are confident that under the cir-
cumstances we are entitled to arrive at
the conclusion that the Plains section of
the state has at last come into its own,
and that it is being recognised as never
before as the coming agricultural section
of the great State of Texas or at least
that portion that is included within* the
bounds of the bill that gave West Texas
this magnificent educational institution.
Now that we have got it, let us be sen-
sible about it. Just because the biggest
institution of learning in Texas or we might
say the entire Southland is being located
here we should keep our heads and not go
‘bog wild” and get it into our system
that there is no limit to the value of
property in this city, and the surrounding
country’. To make this school the success
that the Stole of Texas would have it,
we must cooperate in doing so by being
satisfied with a good living profit on the
things we have to sell. Keep* town lots
and land values at a reasonable price,
and practice the doctrine of live and let
live, and encourage people to come to
our city by selling property at a price that
will enable them to come and have some-
thing left to buy groceries and clothes
after they have bought lots and built a
home on them. Do not get it into your
FMANCI
head eiber that money is going to drop
into your hands like com out of a shelter,
and remember that this great school cannot
be built in a week or a month, tea It will
take years to get it running at full blast,
and that there is plenty of time for a lot
of people to go broke before they can
realise reUirns on property that is bought
at too high price. There is mu so much
danger of people being hurt by prices
if they do not buy too much ii a dollar
down and owe for the balance. $uy what
you can pay for, and be satisfied with
turning it at a reasonable profit, and
Lubbock will enjoy a healthy growth, -and
nobody will be hurt. The reputation of the
town will be better, and people will be
just drop these few thoughts in
hopes that there will be no unjustified
boom. Make Lubbock a good pteoe to
five in, A city of home owners, and hap-
py contented people. Make it the city
that we have told you about in years
passed- he hub of the plains, the biggest
city on the plains, and the most important
in the Southwest.
It is now the home of the Tech Col-
lege.—Lnbbock Avalanche.________

BARSTOW FARMERS WANT
LAND LEASES UNTIL DAM IS BUILT
Barstow fanners would lease El Paso
v&lfey lands for growing cotton and ai-
falfa, bolding their lands at Barstow un-
til they see what comes of the Red Bluff
storage dam project.
Fanning at Barstow is hopeless, they
•ay, unless the dam is built. One man
msd Monday be had given up cotton a%
Barstow ami is trying only alfalfa, but
be still wants to come to El Paso and
await developments on the Red Bluff dam.
Suil Ross Carr and C B. Dodson of
Barstow were visiting local real estate of-
fices Monday in an attempt to lease sev-
eral hundred acres for themselves and
neighbors. ,
, Larr wants 400 acres for alfalfa
and 125 for cotton. Mr. Dodson. wants
100 acres for alfalfa and 300 for cotton.
Three other farmers have asked them to
seek out lands. Mr. Carr said 12 to 15
gr-od farmers will come if they can get
1 ads.
Now is the time to make leases, realtors
say, so that fanners will have time to put
tends in condition.—El Paso Herald.

The American dollar today is worth
fifty-nine cents in terms of pre-war pur-
chasing power, according to a survey of.
retail prices by the Department of Labor.
In the survey covering all principal cities
of the country living were found, to
be above the national average in cities earn
of the Alleghenies while westward from
the Mississippi the cost of living tends to
fall below the average for the country.
The Pacific coast cities are the most
favored in reduced firing costs while in
the Middle West cities, prices tend to
fall below the average, however, some of
the necessities of life are higher than
country average.
Taking the country as a whole the av-
erage family today spends approximately
70 per cent more for the major necessities
than in 1913. The largest item of ex
for the family, food, which takes
imately 45 per cent of the income
average head of a family, is closer to pre-
war levels than any of the other necessi-
ties. being 44 per cent above tije 1913
level in average price. Rent ranks next
to food in closeness to pre-war levels, be-
ing 63 per cent above 1913, which reflects
on upward movement during the last 12
months, even though there has been a
nation wide activity in building of homes
and apartments. Inasmuch as construc-
tion work has slackened in many cities a
downward movement in rent te not to he
expected in the near future.
Clothing prices, likewise, due to pros-
perous conditions in all lines of work
have advanced slightly in the test twelve
months; buying, however, is careful and
conservative. Present' prices are 75 per
cent higher than in 1913 which is a 66
pier cent decline as compared to prices in
1920 when the average family paid 187
per cent more than in the pre-war period.
Fuel costs for the average family this
year are 81 per cent higher than 1913
according to the survey while furniture
heads the list of major necessities with a
price level 122 per cent higher than in
1913.
