note is one of doubt and pessi
mism. No enterprise ean bej
started that is not already doom- j
ed to failure according to these
gloomy prognosticators. And
for this very reason most of the
enterprises do fail for they are
talked to death before they can
i be got under way. I dttre 8ay
that there isn't a small town or a
country community in the en-
tire Southwest that cotlhl not be
vastily improved within tho next
year if the people would only
work together for th^ common
good. And a majority of these
| same towns and communities
i might be absolutely wade over
j iu a few years time if there was
the populer spirit of cooperation
among their citizens.
You had as well quit talking j
about the weather and wanting j
; to move; just get down to bed
! rock and go to work and try to
i make your community one of the
favored spots. 'If you oan't get J
your neighbors to work together ;
for the oemmon good, start at j
home and make that a model)
of comfort and oonveience. That
