SIDEWALKS A NECESSITY
HERE may be a few property owners In Tulla who think tlim
walks are not absolutely necessary and it may be trut > that
one can slip throuch the mud when we have It and walk in the
dust when there is no mud and pet about without walks but ther
are vers few who will not apree that it it much more pleasant ami
that the property Is increased by having good cement sidewalks along
every street in town Uncle Sam says that if we want frc
delivery of mail that walks are a necessity Every towi > thit b
prown as it should also says that walks are necessary
Tulia has forged ahead in many ways In fact in almost every way
except in building sidewalks but in this she is far behind and Imuld
awake to the fact that a home is not finished until walks art up
Plied
The city has the power to build walks and charge the u > st
property owners but feels a delicacy in using such methods Imping
rather that the pride of the owners will not allow this to be done
tiut that each owner will as soon as is possible build his own ak
and thereby finish his otherwise attractive home
POST CARD VIEWS
the effort of the secretary of the chamber of commerce
THROUGH
merce Bob Anglln and J D Dallas local photographer it will
soon be possible to obtain from the local merchants post card views
of scenes in Tula and oveer the county for a nominal sum After
July 1st these cards may be mailed for 1 cent thereby enabling one
to send views to their friends who live in other parts of the country
I is believed that this method of advertising the advantages of
Swisher County will meet with a ready response by everyone in the
county and that they will send these cards to their friends all over
thp United State Views will be taken of the splendid schools of the
county fied and crop scenes and places of interest in Tulia Call
for th e v the merchants or at the local photo shop
A GREAT LIFE
NE of the pleasant surprises about
camping out with your car
in a nice quiet woodland place or alongside a stream or body
of water is found in the variety of bird music that breaks up slum
her in the morning hours Or the city dweller living in the vicinity
of garages and noisy streets can get bigger noises than ever dis

pitcheo his camp somewhere near a farm
where there ar roosters to crow cows to
moo dogs to bark and
geese to cackle Its a great life this good old Summertime

1 < li trict light ami power industry by its very nature is more intimately
related to tin activities of individual members of any community than any
other Its growth has depended on the general use of electrical facilities based
on the lowest possible cost
To meel the growing demands for service the economies of large scale
production have been applied calling for new capital expenditure of almost
a billion dollars a year With earnings limited by public regulation public
confidence in the integrity and efficiency of electric light and power company
management alone has made possible these huge sums
These investors as well as the 70000000 people that live in wired homes
depend on the maintenance of the American principle of individual initiative
to protect their interests
