OF OPINION.
BANKERS PREDICTIONS

That there is difference of o.
pinion as to the future is indicated
by numerous interviews with lead
ing business men. Thus Mr.. Will
liam A. Law, President Of the A
merican Bankers Association, said
on September L:
"When the bank reserves, which
are greater now than they have
ever been in the history of the
country, ale distributed, the nation
will enjoy almost unbelievable
prosperity. The volume of money on
hand is so great that it cannot find
a naturel outlet. The movement
of the tremendous crops, with the
attendant financial activity, will
still further increase the bank re-
serves
Mr.. Otto T. Barnard, President
of the New York Trust Co., said,
on September 3:
Everything is going we'll here
now, but two years from now, be-
lieve that this country will be in
volved in universal financial cat
clysm, due to the destruction of
European capital, plants, manufac-
turing centers, and state wealth
generally
A few days before Mr.. Thomas A.
Edison predicted seven years of
plenty for this country We nope
that ne IS right but think that a
composite of all three of the above
predictions will prove more near
ly accurate.
1t is hard for us to conceive of
all-around wholesome prosperity
with money rates and the cost OF
living so very high as they are like
fy to be for the next two years. We
do, however, look for burst OF
prosperity before the end OF this
year. We will not promise how
long it will last.

WHY Do Tenant
FARMERS MOVE

The past two months, as is US
ually the case in fall, has marked
the sale of much farm property in
the rural communities of the state
and the moving of farmers from
one farm to another This frequency
of moving, or instability of occu-
pancy, very likely is one of the
chief causes for the decline of ru-
raj prosperity, or is hindrance to
greater progress. Frequency of re-
moval of farmers is one of the
greater causes why the roads and
bridges are generally in a poor con-
dition because the farmers moving
at frequent periods are not particu-
larly interested in their upkeep.
Farm buildings of such farms are
not usually kept in good repair, IS
the man who is about to move will
leave the repairs for the next ten
ant to make. The same reasons will
apply for lack of interest by the
unstable farmer in the schools,
churches, and general welfare of
the community.
The U. S. Census Bureau is
gathering statistics on this unsatis-
factory phase of country life, but
so far. apparently, has not made
exhaustive inquiry as to the reason
WHY these farmers move. In our
own community such an inquir.
might throw light upon condition.
that could be changed for the bet
ter.

every month from mail-order

houses.
"The housewife is the one who
generally selects the furniture for
the home, and if she can pick up a
mail-order catalogue and in few
minutes select what she wants, it is
a settled fact that she is not going
to walk to the furniture store,
hitch up and drive in, to look over
the local mans stock to see if he
has what she wants. Instead, she is
going to write out an order for the
article she wants and have it deliv-
cred to the freight depot and all
the trouble there is to it will be
to have a team stop and get it some
time when in town.
eff the local man would adver-
tise properly the new articles that
he receives and constantly keep the
public informed as to what he car
ries in stock, all the trouble it
would be to the housewife when
she wanted an article would be to
call the merchant over the tele-
phone and tell him to load the arti-
Gle on the wagon when it came to
town. The way the majority of To-
cal merchants carry on their busi-
ness the public will never know
what they have in stock.
'eThe time is coming when a
man who won't advertise will be
considered out of the game, or
rather will have get out and make
room for progressive men who are
building up their business by adj
vertising.
"The above facts are true in
eve-y line of the mercantile busi-
ness and it is encouraging to the
Newspaper man to know that the me-
jcrity of the merchants are wax
ing up on this question. However,
there are those who are beyond
redemption and will be buried so
deep that they will never be able
to see the light of prosperity that
will come to these who are taking
advantage of proper advertising

THE CLOUDS ROLLING BY.
warm SEPT HERE.

Business is improving Men are
being hired. 1t isn't SO hard as it
was to borrow money-on good Sc
curity.
Even see an ice jam in the
spring? AT first it looks as if it
couldn't possibly be budged. Even
dynamite doesn't faze it. But by
and by the warm sun gets in it's
work; and then the folks worry
lest the jam should move too
quickly and do as much damage by
going as by staying. We don't say
that the business problem is like
an ice jam in every particular but
there are resem blances. What saves
the down country from being flood
ed by the spring thaw is that vte
melt by day is checked little by
the freeze by night. The derang-
ment of the worlds credit machin-
cry, the conservatiyeness of bank
ers and the war uncertainties now
guarantee us against a flood OF
speculation.
But to keep things moving in the
right direction and at a proper
pace, we need more surshiIie. 1t is
a time for courage, confidence, op-
timism. Not splashes, not splurges
not yet pinch-penny caution, but
manly gumption, grit and go-ahead.
Still superior to war news as a
topic of interest in the American
home is where good values can be
found in buying for home necessi-
ties at fair prices.
We can't let eating and living
lag until Europe moves for peace.
The ordinary processes must go on
they are going on but slightly
affected, save as We have allowed
ourselves to be scared before we
are hurt.
Now that this great nation regain
ing it's wind and it's poise, turn on

EMERGENCY STATUS
TO AID FARMERS

Austin, Tex. sept-When Cover
nor Colquitt sigred the emergency
warehouse bill today, which provide
for a system of state-owned cotton
warehouses, he gave to Texas the
distinction of being the first ans
only State in the Union to aid her
farmers by leg slative enactment
during the present European crisis.
The Legislature was called together
in extraordinary session to consider
this one measure and the bill was
promptly passed by both houses
by more than the two-thirds major
ity necessary in this State to e.
nact an emergency law. The emer-
gency bill became a law when sign
ed by the Governor, but it will
probably be substituted by per-
manent statute when the Legisla-
ture meets in regular session next
January.
The act is of vital importance to
the Texas farmers as it will enable
them to hold their cotton until it
can be profitably marketed. Wheat,
oats. corn and other non-perishable
farm products can be stored, but
the law was enacted primarily to
meet the cotton situation, as this
staple constitutes AZ per cent of the
value of the annual agricultural
production of this State and 25 per
cent of the worlds cotton crop is
raised in Texas.

ADVERT|S' YOUR BUSHES
LIKE MAIL ORDER MEN

Local merchants wonder why it
Is that the mail-order business is
constantly increasing, when to the
mind of man who knows the
first principles of advertising it is
perfectly plain. If local merchants
especially furniture dealers, would
profit by the experience of the
mail-order houses, who have built
up their business solely from the
proper kind of advertising. they
would have hauled away from their
store the car loads of furniture
that come to the freight offices
