THE GOOD NEWSPAPER.

Newspapers are of theree kinds
good, bad and indifferent The good
newspaper is one that has the inter-
ests of its town and community at
heart, always working for its good
ard general betterment, never letting
an opportunity go by for doing a SER
| iyce to it's readers and other patrons,
keeping itself always on high plane
SO that it may reflect credit upon
its town and constituents.
Such a paper cannot be too highly
appreciated and its value to a COM
munity cannot be overestimated. Fur
ther, no town ever amounts to much
without such paper. The two are
essential to the growth and prosper
ity of the other. If the newspaper
fails the town fails and vice versa. A
town can of course exist without a
newspaper, but it cannot grow. When
ever you find a town without live
newspaper you find a dead town, so to
speak. A newspaper, however, can
rot live without the support of the
business men of the town. In short
it must have the advertising patron
age of its merchants in order to
make it a good paper Without this It
is bound to dwindle and die.
The Times-Recorder is such a pa.
per as we are talking about--a good,
live, progressive paper, one that gives
its readers value received for every
dollar spent with it, and one that is
ever striving for the best interests Of
Americas and her people. 1t has
been published long time. 1t has
seen our town grow from a small vii
lage to splendid little city, and has
always received a liberal support at
the hands of our people Thanks to
this support and patronage given it,
it ranks today along side the big CITY
dailies and the peer of many publish
ed in cities even larger than Ameri
Gus.
While all of the above is true, We.
there is room still further for the
publishing of larger and better pa.
per. there is room for charging the
sphere of its usefulness, and this we
hope will come as the days and
months go by.
Most of the merchants and business
men in Americas patronize the paper

West Texas is going to prepare for
trouble, and those cowboys and cat
tlemen know just what trouble is.
They have seen it before when the
word was spelled with a capital T.
There is difference between a
cowboy and cattleman. The cowboy
rides horse and wears spurs and
runs cattle. He is a man who off1cia-
ates at the roundup Sometimes he al
so officiates at the shootup.
The cattleman is an anomaly. He
is the cowboy of yesterday-but he is
no back number. Not bit of it. He
can ride broncho. He can rope
steer. But he is usually too busy
counting money. arranging big bust
ness affairs, and riding around in his
auto to spend much time with tho
cattle. He can't afford it.
In getting ready for whatever the
border troubles may bring to pass
cowboys and cattlemen and business
men of the West are all working to-
gether, and if present plans mature
they will be prepared and they will
have as able leader as men could
wish.
