The Dallas News, in commenting
on the weather in that city, sizes up
the weather situation in Hereford :
The wind blew,
The dust flew;
One couldn't see
For a day or two.

The Childress Index announces
that it is soon to have a home of its
own. That is evidence of merited
prosperity as we consider it one of
our most valued exchanges.

The Vernon Globe published its
valdictory in last week's 'issue, and
announced that the plant will be
moved to Altus, Okla., where Edi-
tor Orr has established a news-
paper.
The Childress Index is evidently
"down" on Senator McLaurin for
quitting the Democratic party. At
least "McLaurin" was put "down"
in the double head announcing his
retirement. Or perhaps that was
the printer's fault. How about
that, Brother Haskett?

The West Texas Stockman an-
nounces that its daily edition will
hereafter be devoted to local news,
the stock news to be published in
the Weekly West Texas Stockman.
They also announce that the weekly
will be a better stock paper than
ever. They will have to hustle to
make it any better.

We have been asked by many if
the Reporter is to be sent to sub-
scribers of the defunct Leader to
fill out the unexpired subscriptions
to that paper. It should be under-
stood by all that the Reporter is a
new paper in every sense of the
word and that it will not fulfill any
of the obligations that the Leader
management made. The Reporter
management did not buy either the
subscription list or the advertising
contracts of that paper. We simply
bought an old worn-out plant which
was owned by D. R. Cass and
which was immediately consigned to
the junk pile as it was of no ma-
terial use to this paper on account
of its antedeluvian propensities.
We make this statement so that all
who want the Reporter and are not
subscribers, thinking that we are
filling out the unexpired term of the
Leader, will come in and order it.
There have been a number of
sample copies of this paper sent out
from week to week to non-subscrib-
ers so that they may see and judge
for themselves as to its worth. We
are doing our best to build up Here-
ford and its tributaries and are
sparing no efforts or expense to
gain that end. With this issue we
commence what we intended tp do
at the start—issue an 8-page paper
—and henceforth that will be its
size. On account of the large
amount of job vork which had ac-
cummulated and for which our busi-
ness men were in a hurry, we were
compelled to cut the paper to six
pages. However, after hard work
we have got caught up with our
work and will now endeavor to ful-
fill our promise to get out an 8-page,
all home-print, live, newsy paper
which will be a credit to the town.

Hereford, with its progressive-
ness, has now reached the point
where she can ask the state .for
favors with the expectation that
they will be granted. Perhaps
nothing would do the town as much
good as a college where , both sexes
could receive a practical and classi-
cal education. Hereford would be
an ideal location for such an enter-
prise on account of the healthful- •
ness of its climate, the excellence of
its water, which is obtained in large
quantities at a depth of not to ex-
ceed sixty feet, its easy access from
all parts of the country, its moral
and social influences and its broad
and level plains which afford ex-
cellent facilities for all kinds of out-
door-sports and exercises. Com-
paratively speaking there is hardly
a day in the year that out-door-
sports or exercises could not be
comfortably indulged in. From the
moral and social side of the ques-
tion Hereford is without a peer.
Such a thing as a gambling joint or
a house of ill-fame is unknown and
such places would not be tolerated
under any circumstances. There is
absolutely none of the lawless ele-
ment which is frequently so con-
spicuous in towns of Hereford's age
and size. So much' for the advan-
tages of Hereford as a location
from an outsider's point of view.
The advantages which such an insti-
tution would give to the town and
its business men are so apparent
that it seems a waste of time and
space to discuss. However we will
try and mention a few of the most
important. In the first place it
would double the value of all Here-
ford real estate. It would double
many times her present population.
It would mean a large increase in-
the sales of évery business. It would
cause many homeseekers to come
here and till the soil and make a
garden spot of what is now given up
to cattle grazing, as they would
then have a home market for all
their produce. It would make our
new proposed theatre a paying in*
vestment and good plays and good
companies could be induced to .stop
off here. And above all it wduld
help swell this noble state's edu-
cational facilities and be an' in-
fluence for the education of its
coming men and women. Think it
over ye Herefordites, then talk it
over, and then go down in your
pockets and help the enterprise fi-
nancially Every man could well
afford to give ten per cent of what
he is now worth, as the building of
such an institution would increase
his financial worth many times ten
per cent.
