MRS. W. C. COLEMAN |

Rev. W. C. Coleman, former res
idents of this county, l'hmore
reeently of Jeff Davis county,

and four children, three daugh
ters. Miss Emma Jane, Allie Mae

one son, Robert Coleman; three

Prosperity Up For Electicn
Prosperity is up for election.}
running tooverthrow depression.
It’s for the people to decide
which will be chosen. Every man
and every woman is privileged
to ballot—every day. |
Depression has no rightful
place with a hundred and twenty
million people, exchanging goods
and services —cabable—accusto
med and willing to work—more
highly skilled than other people
—leaders in efficiency and pro
gressiveness~backed by the
vast natural resources of the
United States. When we make it
possible for the man who works
to have a job we make it possible
for him to buy food for his family
and so help all business, includ
ing that of the farmer.
The rest of the world is of small
importance compared with Lhati
free market of 120,000,000 people
—homogeneous—of like tastes,'
habits and aspirations— living
under the same laws—lfree of
trade barriers. Foreign trade
may be troubled by tariffs and
reyolutions, but at their peak our
exports represented only five and
a half billions of dollars of gross
business in a year out of a total
American income of ninety bill
ions,
Stagnation of circulation is
what’s the matter with agricultu
re and with business. Everyone
can help to get thatcirculation
moving again,
Government can’t make pros
perity—alone. Bankers and other
business leaders can’t makel
prosperity—alone, It’s the people
united in opinion and purpose
and courage, who determine
nrosperity. They can elect it—
none other.
Ballots that will be validly
counted for prosperity are of
‘many kinds. Some one of them
every man and woman can cast.‘
For example: ‘
‘ Help a deserving man or a wo
man to get a little paying work—
or, better, a regular job. |
Spend wisely and not too tim
t idly, and anticipate scheduled ex
ipenditures so far as is practic
able,
l Turn the deaf ear on false,
mischievous rumors; and don’t
| repeat them, if you do hear them.
% Be willing to pay a fair price.
'Don’t take advantage of the other
i man’s necessity. Recognize that
lhe has as good claim to a fair pro
fit as you.
t When a vampire that fattens
on the miseries of others shows
up, help to make him unpopular.
Discourage calamity howlers.
Keep business moving evenly,
