It takes a lot of people to make up our modern world. If all were farmers, who would buy the farmer's goods. The farmer needs the honest merchant and the merchant needs the honest farmer. The small-town business man faces competition taxes and bad debts. Men of honor morality and faith are needed today and blessed is the community that produces such men. No man liveth to himself.

Sweetwater Texas hosts a four day Armistice celebration led by the Oscar McDonald Post American Legion. The Texas Hereford Sale drew large crowds and quality stock. A major rodeo, western sports, and community business ads invite visitors to enjoy the festivities through Saturday night.
The Coke County Chapter of the American Red Cross outlines its plans for the coming year. Membership drives support fundraising and programs. The nationwide effort helped distribute Farm Board wheat and cotton, turning 85 million bushels of wheat and 8,000,000 bales of cotton into necessities for the needy.
Sweetwater extends a broad invitation for four days of activities and entertainment. The program includes Hereford cattle show and sale by The Texans Hereford Association, a four day American Legion rodeo, a 4-H Club rally, and a Friday football game between Sweetwater and Big Spring, aimed at drawing in farmers, ranchers, and the wider trade territory.
