ISSUES A CALL TO ACTIVITY
Col. Wilmeth Urges Snyder and
scurry County to Move Out
To Greater Opportunities

We believe the time is here when
we should awake from the fear of
failure and attempt new things
for our county and town.
The commercial club and the
Young Mems Business League
should be united and all the peo-
pie pull one way. We do not know
what the future will bring; if we
do not SOW but we do know it will
bring more if we SOW and cult
vate.
There are eigthyfive million PEG
pie in the United States that do
now know we exist. There are
that many opportunities that may
be overlooked if we do not tell
these where we are at. The rent
ing farmer of the Eastern coun-
ties should be shown the way to
become a land lord.
When business gets dull the
good business man does not take
down his sign, but puts up more
when he is not crowded with Gus
toners.
The same rule applies to town
and country building. If you wish
to make things move, move your
self. Stagnation in all things in
dicates death. Well, we are not
dead, but to a passerby, they
might take us for a corpse.
Therefore allow me to suggest a
mass meeting of the peaple of the
city and county and let's reorgan
lie and get busy for a greater and
better time. II has come. We have
been in Slough of Despond" too
long Let S go forward.

ton of reduction of cotton acre
age is already bearing fruit and
that the crop will be materially
cut down next year. People have
thought something of that IN

How Much Reform-HOw Sure

In these days of alleged graft
and rascality of which so much
has been proved and so little of it
punished it is not surprising that
the country has become alarmed
at the encroachments of financial
and political power and that the
people periodically become
wrought up and begin to demand
relief from such oppression
On these occasion professional
politicians and place hunters har-
