Why Shouldn't You Get Behind and Push?

(By the Town Doctor)
Mice still stick their heads into
cheese traps; flies still swarm atop
poison honey; moths still fly into
the candle flame; bumble bees still
■warm to a buzzing jug; sheep still
follow the leader over a cliff; «
salmon fish still swims up the river
They never learn anything no
matter how many examples, how
many experiences of their fellows-
-they go on doing the same way
generation after generation—and die.
A town that doesn’t learn and
profit from the experience of other
towns will go the same way as the
mouse, the fly, the moth, the bee,
end the “poor fish”. Because they
do not learn from experience is
reason for 91 towns in one slate
alone to pass out of existence in a
ten year period—an average of one
to a county for some states Such
towns are in a rut—and the only
difference between a rut and the
grave is the depth.
Who doesn’t know that to stand
still ia getting nowhere? In nature—
in business in every human en-
deavor—to cease to grow is to perish
—one way or another
Bruce Barton says, “When we quit
changing we are through.”
The change that will pay the great
est dividend to this community is
for the citizens to quit thinking that
their town is something that will
take care of itaelf, or that the heads
of the service clubs and other civic j
organizations will do whatever has
to be done
Refusal on your part to think a- !
bout your community—refusal to I
change your attitude from passive
to active, ia costing you money.
You and a few others by changing
positions from in front leaning back-
wards to the one behind pushing for-
ward will MAKE money for you
and make your community a better
more attractive, more interesting
place in which to live, work, play
and make money.
It’s a man to man proposition: Is
there any real reason why you [
DID HE CUT THE CHEBBY TREE”
By Rev. A. M. Foster
Born and reared in old Virginia,
Bridges Creek, his childhood joy;
George Washington, the Nation's idol
Was just a laughing barefoot boy.
We-ve heard it told, yes, read the story
About the "Hatchet”, but sec,
The thing we want to know for certain
Did he cut the Cherry Tree?
Went to school and learned to "cipher”,
Read and write and measure Land;
He milked the cows and fed the “hooses”
Yes, on the farm he made a “hand".
I've read books that tell about it;
Sounds as true as true can be.
But lots ’o folks will tell you frankly
George did not cut the Cherry Tree.
At Valley Forge in zero weather;
Not much to eat, and less to wear,
Congress playing “Dilley-Dailey”,
'Twas enough to make the General swear
Johnny Bull went back to England,
Didn't like our brand of “Tea”:
Still, rd like to know for certain.
Did George cut the Cherry Tree?
shouldn’t get behind and push, to
make Hebbronville a real honest to 11
goodnest, live, wide awake town?
Brush up the cob webbs in your
mind and lets all push to a greater
goal

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS
Many rumors are in circulation in regard to present financial condi-
tions. Many of these rumors are based on erroneous information and
only do harm.
It is true that several financial institutions have been forced to apply
for a receiver. Those having most effect on South Texas has been the
Wiemer-IJLUardson company and the J. E. Jarrett company and affiliated
corporations
Unfortunately the present condition has been brought about by the
era of wild speculation partially encouraged and participated in by some
of the banks and financial institutions of the country. When the crash
came on the stock exchange, a crash that was foreseen and foretold ma-
ny times by 'he Epco Papers some banks who had an undue amount of
funds loaned in New York and Chicago on call at a high rate of interest,
found themselves unable to withdraw such funds as rapidly as their
needs in some incidents required.
No class are, as a class, more timid and conservative than are bankers
Banks immediately following the stock exchange crash began to call
loans and refused to make new loans except to take cart* of old and val-
ued patorns and these loans only in curtailed amounts.
This natun.lly slowed down business as the funds for expansion pro-
grams were not available.
From this position taken by the banks of the country grew rumors, ma-
ny wild and fantastic and these rumors have done far more harm than
did any other one thing.
Tuesday witnessed a run on one of the strongest and oldest banks in j 00,11 Mr* and Mrs Nny'or
San Antoi io These runs on banks are foolishness compounded. Banks (PracticaJ poul,ry P*°Plc who love

and in return for this service the patrons agree to allow the banks to and w ° nevc* nliss **n opportunity
use such funds as they have on deposit wi(h the banks. The law has lo lrnProve foe service they give
porvided that all banks must maintain a cash reserve up to a certain _ir customers,
percentage of their deposits. Most banks maintain a reserve above what
the law requires.
The only way the bank has of paying the expense of serving their pa-
trons and earning a profit is to make loans. If we are not willing for the
bank to loan what funds we may have with them on deposit then we
ought to pay them for the service they render us and for the use of their
A seven year old boy, so the papers say,
Lies silent in death in his home today.
Yesterday, full of sunshine laughter and life,
But the speeding car struck him down and he died,
Leaving father and mother to weep and mourn.
O’er the young life crushed out, in its early morn.
He was only seven years old.
Now, speeder, come look at the work you’ve wrought
And think of the pain and sorrow you’ve brought,
To that little boy’s home. They loved him well.
But you in your carelessness struck and he fell.
What if your wife were that little boy’s mother?
What if the boy were your own little brother?
And he was only seven years old.
Oh, when you go out for a ride down the street,
Where the little wee folks, you are so apt to meet
As they rush across the street in their play,
Oh, won’t you please drive in just the way you would.
If you knew your boy was there.
At play with the crowd on the thoroughfare?
And he was only seven years old.

If this Moisture Regulator does
what is claimed it will do, it will be
one of the most important additions
They have recently added to their
Corpus Christi plant a Moisture
Regulator, the only one that is in
the south so far as known. Great
claims are made for this device. One
of which is that it prevents white
. « , , a , . .. . 1 diarrhoea which is so fatal to young
strong safes to keep our funds in. When they loan these funds it is un-
reasonable and foolish to expect that they can collect them all back and
get such funds into the bank on an hour's notice.
There is probably not one farmer or business man in a hundred thous-
and, who could pay all he owes on demand, and if ctmipclled to do so
would be forced Into bankruptcy. The same holds good with banks. No
matter how solvent a bank may be if its depositors lose their heads
and start a run that bank must make heroic efforts and great sacrifices
if it is to meet those unjust and unreasonable demands. This country
is in a sound and healthy condition. It is true some unequalities which Af f1 ( 1 \f u twinziv’c
have existed for several years ought to be corrected, but losing one’s head | 'Yx. \y. iTldllOney S
and growing panicky is no way to correct such evils. And these evils
are more of a political than of a business nature.
There has been some talk of withdrawing funds from banks That is
the height of absurdity. See what Harry Rogers, of Tulsa and San An-
tonio, one of the brainiest as well as one of the wealthiest men in the
south did Tuesday. When he was advised that a run was being made
on the City National Bank of San Antonio, Rogers wired from Tulsa, Ok-
lahoma, that the resources of the Exchange National Bank of Tulsa was
at the service of the San Antonio bank.
While we ruuy not have the millions that Harry Rogers has, yet we
all can do our part to help the banks in this time of stress. We can keep
our balance in our banks just as big as we can and we can encourage
and back up <>ur bankers with our confidence and faith in their integrity.
Let’s not act like fools and get frightened at a shadow.
The banks are alright.
The country is alright.

To Our Friends and Customers:
It is human nature in business to get all the trade you can; the
consumer on the other hand wants to see his town progress; you
can never build up your town by sending away for everything
you need; if you have good merchants in your town, patronize
them; we feel that they may not lie in position to supply some of
your wants and that is the part of your trade we would appreciate
and give you service.
