SPEND HOME MONEY AT HOME Caustic Criticism of Those Mho Huy Their Needs Outside of Their Home Town. That the man who earns his money in the city where lie lives and spends it in some other city is no citizen. That the man who sends his money r ,y from home and th n expects his I' me city to prosper L a candidate for the ‘‘Rug House” and the sooner he goes there the better off the home city will be. That the man who helps to build a city other than the one he lives in is a liability, not an asset. That every citizen should be a booster for better business for the home city. That the citizens who think a city can be built without co-operation are just dreaming. That for a city to grow all citizens must be loyal to the home city and keep their dollars working at home. That if nobody pays any attention to the needs of the home city and everybody just paddles their own ca noe, its good bye business and good bye any hopes for the home city. The city that pays attention to com munity growth, makes the most of its natural resources, keeps up its appear ance ahd helps in the development of its trade territory gels somewhere. An unattractive looking city hasn’t half a chance. In order to instill home pride and attract new industries, a city should keep dressed up. A good front goes a long way.—Edison R. Wait, Shaw nee, Okla. FARMERS MUST REDUCE ACREAGE The Aid Extended by Bank ers and the Government is Based Upon Agreement to do This. i Bankers of eleven Southern states, aided by the government, will extend a j thirty million dollar credit to co-oper ative cotton marketing association and enable them to hold a part of the crop . to stimulate the market price, which is now below the actual cost of pro duction. This is done with the agree- i ment that cotton acreage will be re duced 25 per cent next year.
