SOME BUSINESS FACTS

A close student Of business conditions writing
in a trade magazine OF price movements ana
changing volume Of business remarks that the
line of demand which. varies people are eco
nomical or extravagant, Is rarely more than ten
per cent below or above normal
Another business expert remarked recently
that the actual difference in the volume OF goods
handled or business done. between boom times
and dull times was only about 3 per cent
Such figures sound INCREDIBLE at first but they
are probably near the truth
The difference between good times and bad
times is greatly exaggerated. Certain industries
NAV be affected very seriously but others are at
fected lightly. Some classes of merchants may
have their trade cut in two but merchants in gen
era suffer far less than that
Even in the present admittedly serious pit OF
depression figures show that the volume OF goods
passing over the counters Of retail stores through
out the country is almost great usual and in
some cities it is greater The big drop Is not IN
volume of goods but in volume of prices
The employment situation too. is distorted
by imagination. From widespread reports OF un-
employment might suppose that nobody had
a job
The fact is that there is concentrated dleness
in certain communities which specialize in certain
industries that happen to be hard hit. but the big
majority OF working people are working about az
usual ~
And too. there is great farm population
and the professional people and nearly all the
business people who working right along pretty
much as usual.
BY the same token most people. whether
busy or idle. imagine they worse off in dull
times than they
Of BUSINESS that makes what We call prosperity OF
depression The tail may sometimes to wae
the dog. but still the tail Is not the dog

STAND BY TIE LAW

There are too many laws OF course Many Of
them unnecessary. some are vexatious and
some are even vicious But Il is the duty OF every
good citizen to obey the law long as Il is on
the statute books There is no other safe course
II is perfectly proper to insist that law is wrong
and to work for its repeal but il is never safe to
violate any law When we begin to violate one
law. we create dsrespect for all other laws, and
when our laws fall into disrepute our civilization
ends Ours is a government OF law. We can
not have government without laws and obedience
to the laws Without this life and property are
not safe. II is therefore the duty of every citizen
to obey the law himself and to insist upon obed-
fence to the law by all others. A good citizen
will not only obey the law himself but he will
assist in the enforcement of the law upon and for
others Obey the laws or repeal thcmi

LIVE WITHIN YOUR INCOME

The man who makes ten thousand dollars
year and spends eleven thousand is not getting
along as we'll as the man who makes six hundred
and spends only five hundred This is true of
flush times as we'll as of dull During the
past few months many of us have had to live
hard Many of have had to practice the most
rigid economy. II we have learned a lesson OF
tiff we have learned to spend less money than
make-we will profit all the more when the
good times come again they surely will before
long 1t is one of the most commendablc traits
Of any one to live within their income, and il is
mighty good idea to little you go along.
No matter how small your income it very likely
could be smaller Should you become disabled
or become i'll you would need this little saving
badly and in many cases there places where a
few dollars might be saved for rainy day

SOUTH PLAINS DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT

The South Plains is distinctly different from
any other part Of the State and has many advan-
tagcs over any other section. IL is in class by
itself II is the best diversified section in the
State. says the Lubbock Avalanche and such
is our opinion The South Plains is done in
Justice when compared with any other section
of Texas for we are really in class by ourselves.
and there is not another section OF the State that
will favorably compare with West Texas
and the South Plains. while listed one. are far

enrolled along with her daughter and for which she had attended classes faithfully with classmates half her age.
 On pay day Mrs. Drake is a wei fare worker for one of the coal companies operating in the Logan field. Having finished her high school course, she did not go on to college with her daughter. And, as she puts it, one of the coal pro- ducers "knew she wouldn't sit at home and knit and crochet" So he offered her the job of visiting nurse among the employees of his com pany. In this job Mollie mothers a large family. It is composed of men and women much older than she and of the children of these older children. True to the mother type anywhere, she makes their in dividual troubles, their health, theil happiness, very personal matter.
 There was the young Spaniard who lay in the hospital after a SC were accident. No friends or rela- lives rallied to his bedside. and the doctors and nurses could not under stand him when he moaned out word or two in his native tongue. MOllie Drake. secured the hills for an interpreter and found one. She also dug up cousin of the unfor- tunate boy. Moreover she made the lives of nurses and doctors miser- able until the lad was out of dan ger, sometimes calling at the hospi- tai late at night to see how the boy

 "As a girl I went to school till l was thirteen. In the teens l took up nursing and later was married. But I always wanted more educa- tion. Sometimes it is the persons who are denied education appreci- ate it most. Well, when my daugh- ter was ready for high school I de- cided that I would get my high school education tOo-not by fol- lowing her studies at home q knew that wouldn't do), but by enrolling in high school with her.
 "Some of my friends thought il was an absurd idea. They said I could enroll in colleges for special courses or take correspondence courses. But the idea of my going to school right along with my daughter and the other young pee- pie seemed queer to them. I sup pose it was unusual. But what l wanted was a regular education. So I enrolled and went through the four years of high school and was, graduated in the same class with my daughter S SE

 TIT would be easy enough to make ' | melodramatic start and give her some such extravagant title as "The Angel of the Hillsn or "The Mother of the Mines" or "The Flor ence Nightingale of Blair Noun tain" Bur if you did and Molly Dingess Drake found it out she might laugh and she might make some sharp remark, but most cer- tainly she would not be pleased. How she escaped the war cor respondents" who were rushed to the front to cover West Vir- ginia's recent mine war is more than can say, for the story is still told of how Molly, like Sheridan twenty miles away" when the armed miners were marching on Logan, made all haste not toward safety, as she might very wisely have done, but back to where the bullets were flying.
 Her narrowest escape from the feature pages of newspapers was several years ago-two, in fact when, woman of some two score years, she was graduated from high school with her sixteen-year-old daughter. That graduation and the attendant high school diploma were in no sense honorary affairs given out of respect for Molly Dingess Drake. I'll had been earned by 1 this very de,ermined, ambitious wo- man of the hills after four years of high school work, In which she had

PUBLIC IS WARNED
People Are Asked To Be Cautions In Regards To Indammablc Materials About The Home On Christmas,

The National Board of Fire Under writers of New York city has sent out a phamphet entitled Making Christ mas Fireproof' in which the people are warned to be preCautious on Christmas. The people are wa rned to have the Christmas tree in a strong and safe position so that it will not easily topple over. Any cotton or paper materials should be kept away from the tree as well as other fam mable materials.
 Smokers are also warned to take great care with their matches and smoking materials and parents arc asked to see that all matches are out of reach of the youngsters. Toys involving the use of alcohol, gaso-

line or kerosene should be avoided. Another important safeguard is to re move all evergrcens immediately aft CT Christmas, before they become completely dried out.
 Although the above items have been mentioned for home care, they should also be observed in public or private entertainments. Merchants of stores are also asked to keep their stores clean of all Christmas fam mablC materials

, It is a common statement among | travelling salesmen that they live in q Pullman: Mollie Drake might say she lives in a day coach. Her headquarters are in Logan, and much of her time is spent in riding to and from the little mining towns along the branch lines out of To- gan.
 Her trips are taken to visit the homes of miners, and no place is too remote for her to visit. Her energy in tramping about and the speed with which she walks over the hills is enough to make a younger woman gasp for breath and all but beg for quarter. That from one who knows.
 We started out of Logan one morning on the 10 o'clock train.
 Before the train started we were part of the social gathering which greetS the all-tOo-feW passenger trains that come into Logan Mol lie Dingess knew everybody.
 Arrived at the mining center, our first visit was to the schOolhouse, a subStantial tWO-Story building. in front of which were all the latest playground devices for amusing the modern child.

She didn't make up her mind until after she entered col lege. l was rather anxious to know what she would choose After she started studying biology she was so interested that she decided to go on and study medicine It occurred to me that Mollie Drake was a feminist. I wondered if she had ever been suffrage worker.
