vITONDER why the wherefore Of
W. all these amateur panaceas
for Mexico. Have seen printed a
few things like miscarriage Of JUS
tice because men to be executed
had not been found guilty by a
jury, when in such cases there Is no
jury trial. Such things make one
wonder why the outburst.
Mexico as never before In its his
tory is making strenuous efforts TO
develop in education and from an
industrial standpoint. Mexico is
cur neighbor with whom we will
have opportunity to do much more
trading and are already doing
much. Goodwill should be the
slogan. And whether one statement
or another is true. Mexico will res
pond to harsh criticism from for
eigners Just about as much as the
United States would, except In I'M

DOES COURTESY PAY?

In an Illuminating article in the Nations Business for October, Carl Goerch, publisher of the Washing ton N C.. Progress, has something pertinent to say about "How to Make Your Town Grow" He starts out thusly:
 Give me the whole-hearted sincere cooperation of about 200 of it's citizens and I'll guarantee to make any average small town of the most talked of and most popular places in the United States And 1t won't cost anybody penny, either. Not single, solitary cent z
 His rules are very simple. He says
 The first thing to do is to speak to every stranger you see m town and the second is be the lookout for any service you might be able to render him." That IS the whole formula.
 Practically every town in the country has one visitors every day., he continues "No ap- preciates courtesy than man who is away from home and among strangers. You probably know how 1t Is from personal experience The act of any ndvd ua citizen of town often stranger to form certain impression of the community whole.
 Courtesy will do to help build up town than all the manufacturing sites transportation faci ities saubrious climatic conditions any other you may mention. It doesn't cost anything, and that may be why many folks ignore it as valuable asset"
