It has been stated by Postmaster
General Hitchcock that the federal
postal establishment will become
Belf-mstaining before the close of
another fiscal year If thip ran be
accomplished penny postage for
first class mail will become a fact
Indeed Mr Hitchcock is almost
prepared to assert that one cent
X
postage is in sight as a practical
business proposition Our post-
- master must then content himself
with reading fewer postal cards
Some of our regular readers may
feel inclined to criticise us for carry-
ing so many advertisements Even
if we would not need the money
coming from these “ads” we would
nevertheless insert one and all and
that for our reader’s own benefit
A keen and thorough newspaper
reader will study the advertisements
as well its the editorials These
two departments of your newspaper
are the most helpful intellectually
The “ads” especially will inform
you what commercial progress is
being made in your own commun-
ity They contain a great deal of
information not found in the news
columns Read them and you will
be surprised
ROOSEVELT AND ROUGH
RIDERS
Some of Colonel Roosevelt’s
Rough Riders who were with him
in Cuba are trying to arrange for
a reunion of those famous fighters
to be held at Fort Worth during
the Feeders and Breeders Show
March 13 to 18 Colonel Roose-
velt is to be the guest of the show
on the 14th and the programme is
to have the Rough Riders meet him
ns lie enters the city and act as his
escort A number of the Rough
Riders live in Texas Oklahoma and
New Mexico and such of them as
have been approached give enthusi-
astic support to the proposition
WE HOPE SO TO
It may he that those who have
lived close to nature are better
guessers than others so we have as
good right to take the Indian’s
prognostication as the white man’s
At any rate those ' who believe in
signs as indicative of the future
may take the following promise of
abundant crops for this section from
a venerable denizen of the Pawnee
tribe:
“The great chief told me to read
the face of the moon for this year’s
promise Last year I noticed that
tha big man’s face in the moon was
turned from us to the northeast and
our crops failed while’ the north-
east had abundant crops but this
year the big man’s face is turned
toward the southwest so an abund-
ant harvest is promised in this sec-
tion” We are Inclined to believe in tie
I nd i rm’ pred:o ion at least wo hope

One of the most notable facts
connected with a country newspapei
of today is the large increase in the
amount of advertising of local bust
ness houses The change has taken
place gradually and has been mark-
ed especially during the past year
or so It is highly significant and
an inquiry as to the cause of it is of
great profit not only to tlioso in
the newspaper business but to every
business man and citizen of our
town as well The change in brief
meanB that local merchants have
found it necessary to call attention
to their goods because of the im-
mense competition they face the
most deadly element of which is
that from the great stores of the
large cities These great establish-
ments advertise their wares most
lavishly and the metropolitan news-
papers which contain their adver-
tisements are distributed over the
country some one paper of which
enters nearly every home The re-
sult is that these metropolitan es-
tablishments have built up an im-
mense mail trade In our town
and indeed in most of the towhs
hereabouts there is no occassion
for this out-of-town buying The
duty of citizens in the matter is
jMain and where other things are
equal support should be given local
dealers Our merchants have in-
vested their capital have erected
buildings which are the pride of
the city They have built up our
little city and it is only a fair re-
turn that they have the city’s trade
to turn trade otherwise even in the
line of small purchases which are
great in the aggregate is to invite
the decline of property values in
our town
