The Cameron Herald says, "thc
action Of the Cameron Commercial
Club In proposing the organization OF
. loan association of this city Is com.
mcndable In the highest degree. II
not only means development in the
residential sections Of the city but
shows the spirit Of town building and
paves the way for more substantial
citizenship. Home owners are perma-
nent and satisfied residents.
The Herald continues. "A most
liberal policy has been incorporated
In the plan which has been formulat-
ed by the committee. Financial aid is
to be extended on terms that cannot
be equaled anywhere. The plan makes
it possible for the man Of average
means to become the owner of his
own home with small advance OF
capital on his part and assuming de-
ferred payments at the lowest pos
sible rate of interest.
"While II is true that town which
has no vacant homes or business
blocks is in the progressive column,
II Is nevertheless regrettable con
dition that people are not able TO find
living quarters. This condition must
and will be remedied by the wide
awake men who will see to it that
means are provided for the necessary
constructions of homes.
Shortage of housing space obtains

LUBBOCK DOCTORS ARE PRO
PROGRESSIVE

According to the Avalanche, the
Lubbock physicians are calling on
patients in airplanes. We note that
one physician went to Snyder to see
q patient in plane
Yep, they pulled that very stunt.
Our physicians are progressive IN
every way except in newspaper adj
vertsing. They are largely adverse
to that. It's nonethical. We do not
know what that is exactly, but It
takes effect among the first things
when a man has prepared himself for
the practice Of medicine, and this
particular thing stands in the way of
many of our very best physicians
even displaying a card in the profes-
sional columns. II gets into the sys-
TEN of some doctors so deeply that
they will not even give meek and
lowly news reporter news item con.
corning patients that friends and
relatives want TO know about and
wonder why the newspaper does not
get information OF this kind. Oh,
YOU ethics

no wonder that they are short, from
the amount Of mail that every news

state and national departments cv.

DID KNOCKERS EVER BUILD
A TOWN?


You know il is a queer proposition
when man is always talking about
trying to build up town and then
fighting all the institutions of the
town. Consistency thou art jewel.
When we had Laundry people kick
ed all the time. The electric light
plant is knocked. The newspaper is
knocked. Everything is knocked
that don't answer the beck and call
of some folks. II is true that none OF
tM institutions of a small town are
equal to city. II you expect them
to be il is only an indication that
you haven't got much sense. We
hear people say our little paper Well
we have little stores and little banks
and little everything. 1t is small
town and the business has to be
small. This paper has eternally
boosted this country and the home
trade proposition. We will still do
so and pay more for our stuff here II
need be than we might send for II
but while we boost the home mer-
chants business and pay more at
home if we have TO do you as mer-
chant send off for your stationary
because you can get il cheaper? Are
you helping to build up a good home
paper by giving it all the boost you
can or are YOU withdrawing all the
patronage you can and kicking the
paper because it is not a better pa
per? Let's get together on these
things and try TO make the best town
on the plains. We can do IT, Stay
with your home institutions and try
TO make them better and it will re-
turn to you. If you cant do any
thing but knock everything IN the
town you advertise the fact that you
can't live in any better town and do
as well as you do here or as badly
dissatisfied as you are every sane
man knows you would move. Your
trouble is you want something you
haven't the capacity 70 fill and sue
coed FIX
We have never seen town that
was full of knockers that ever
amounted TO very much People must
pull together il progress is made. No
matter how big and fine looking a
team of horses may be If there is a
big load to move and only one pulls
at a time there is not going to be
accomplished. The same is
true of town builders. II they are
selfish and afraid or not willing for
the other fellow 10 make a fair profit
on his goods, there will be no salts
faction in establishing business
there. We have known land agents
to absolutely drive people away from
town rather than let their competi-
tor make a sale to them. The secret
Of town building is for everybody to
boost their town. Speak well of its
be courteous to prospec-
tors and strangers. Build good
schools. churches and business hous-
es. and the people will come.

more residences are built People
cannot get houses to rent in Lub-

are not in position TO build homes
themselves. The building material Is
extremely high and likewise labor
and many would prefer TO rent n
good house to buying one or building,
but there are those who would build
il there was some kind Of building
association in the city that could
start them out with a small payment
and light installments, and we be-
lieve that an organization or compa-
ny Of this kind ought to be organized
here. Build homes in Lubbock. You
can rent them to good reliable par
ties, and help Lubbock to grow.

may be right about il:
What's the matter with America
these days?
Too many diamonds, not enough

Too many silk shirts, not enough
blue flannel ones.
Too many pointed-toed shoes, and
not enough square-toed ones.
Too many serge suits and not
enough Overalls.
Too much decolette and not
enough aprons.
Too many satin upholstered limou-
sines and not enough cows.
Too many consumers and not
enough producers.
Too much oil stock and not enough
savings accounts.
Too much envy Of the results Of
hard work and too little desire 70
emulate IT,
Too many desiring short cuts to
wealth and too few willing 70 pay the
price.
