The same thing holds true Of news
paper controversies between neigh
boring towns If some little printer
devil mind is in charge Of the policies
Of a newspaper and he continually
sings it into his neighboring towns

lap dog soon tires of barking at
bull dog II he gets no response.
There is room enough in these
South Plains for several towns larger
than the combined population Of an
the towns already on these South
Plains. And for any one man to
judge as to which Of these towns IN
the best it is ridiculous for every
citizen in every town in the South
Plains think his town is either the
best today On will De The best to-
morrow. II he did not, he would be
a fool, IL he didn't at least lay plans
TO move sometime in the future. II
is the consistant policy Of the Lub-
book Chamber Of Commerce to refer
any inquirer for a business locatios
60 the rest Of the South Plains towns
II there is not an opening in this city
for his business. Any Of the South
Plains towns are better than any
other towns in the state and the
quicker all Of these towns recognize
that fact and start TO talking it, an
together, the quicker win this vast
section Of vacant spaces be filled with
desirable settlers
