In this family there are three
boys that are 10, 6 and 4 years
old. All of their clothing was

this family is in the hospital

The News is asking the citi-

A school teacher once asked her pupils what they regaid-
ed,as the best and most valuable thing in their community.
The children wrinkled their brows, looked perplexed and some
of them answered the question, but all of them were far from
the mark.
The teacher indicated the answers were wrong as each
pupil made his or her supreme effort to find the correct ans-
wer to the knotty problem. . .Finally the teacher, when they
were all expectant and very much excited over what really was
the best thing in their community, told them that they them-
selves were the best and most voluable.
It was somewhat of a jolt for little folks, especially those
with a keen imagination, who had conjured up many wonder-
ful things. The teacher’s answer brought them back to earth,
but gave them a sense of their importance in the wot Id.
It should also give every person living in the community, taxes be levied on natural
regardless of whether they have children in the public schools,
something to think about, when we think along lines of com-
munity development.
For we can not build for the future any better than by
making better boys and girls who will become men and wo-
men and make this a better community in the next generation.
We can build, for the future, not alone by teaching child-
ren at home how to live right, but by supporting the teacher,
‘ the school authorities and the whole public school system to
the best of our ability and to the limit of our means.
We can not hope for our community to rise any higher in
the future than our public school system.

AS COMMUNITY CENTERS
There was a time when the little one-room school houses tax oil and its products^
for four or five months during the year were a rendeavous for
rats and mice.
The small buildings are disappearing and in their place
have been erected consolidated schools costing from $10,000 to
$100,000. They represent a large investment of taxpayers’
money which should not be allowed to lie idle all summer and
earn nothing. They can be made to pay large dividends in
community enjoyment.
It may have been all right to let the birds and beasts and
reptiles take possession of the one-room buildings because there
was not much money invested in them, farmers were busy and
they could be placed in condition for school cheaper than 3
caretaker could be employed. But with the expensive consoli-
dated schools, it is different.
This kind of reasoning does not apply to the modern
ruraly school plant, in the light of a new day and a better un-
derstanding of how to make uses of school houses as commun-
ity centers.
For an expensive school building to be unused from May
until September is sheer waste. There may be a time when
rural schools will be run on an all-year basis, with vacations
being arranged at periods when children can help with the
crops, not for the present, the consolidated school should jus-
tify its existence during the summer months, in a better vaca-
tion for the children and a richer community life for the
adults.
There are countless uses to which the school building may
be put during vacation—uses which each school community
can work out according to its own needs.
Parent-teahers associations have a habit of discontinuing
their meeting during the summer, but even they can make use
of the building, as can all other organizations.
Closing the school year does not mean that all of the life
that centers in and around the school building should cease.

It is estimated that it costs the railroads of this country
seven million dollars a year to blow their whistles, and if auto-

Having to move our gas line from the
highway right-of-way from the plant into
Center it will be necessary to shut off the
gas on Sunday, May II at 8 a. m. to 2 p.
m. In replacing this line we are putting
down 4 inch line instead of the 2 inch line
we are using at present. By using the 4
inch line it wdll give the Center customers
a better supply of gas at all times.
On the above date and hour we
that every gas user in Center close all gas
openings and turn off all pilot lights, wa-
ter heaters, etc., and do not open them un-
til 2 p. m., when the gas will be turned in
the mains. Any one not knowing how to
turn off openings and pilot lights they will
please telephone Buford 1 aylor, phone

and assure you that it is our desire to give
you the best service possible.

“As a result of the contests, hun-
dreds of farmers,” he declares,
“have been thoroughly convinced
the advantages of pedigreed
seed, liberal fertilization, thorough
cultivation, and disease and insect
control methods. They have discov-
ered that the practices employed in
producing a high yield on a three
or five-acre field may be profitably
applied to the entire farm.”
By Wm. A. BLACK
Scientists are very accurate
in the use of terms. Politic-
ians are quite the opposite.
Words and phrases are used to
.....confuse thought. This is due
,to loose thinking. We have
yet to learn that in public mat-
ters we should be as careful in
the use of known and recogni-
zed facts, as logical in our rea-
soning and as sure of our con-
clusions as the mathematician.
What are natural resources?
Are they not everything that
nature has provided man for
his use and comfort? Do they
not include land in all its var-
ious grades and qualities? The
Mnd on which a farm is built
is a natural resource. Ranch
land likewise, the open sea, the
shore line, water courses, na-
tive timber, oil and gas in
place, rock asphalt, salt, pot-
ash, sulphur, whatever nature
has placed in this good old
>earth of ours, are property na-
tural resources, and man’s
physical well being depend
wholly upon his intelligent use
of what nature has furnished
him.
Some politicians and busi-
ness groups urge and demand
(WIGGINS HOME—
j (Contiriued From First Page)
that the taxes be placed on the }zens of Center and Shelby
enterprise of developing and
using these gifts of nature. We
’ • . We
shout tax bonuses and royalties
only. We tax the machinery,
tools and capital of asphalt
companies. We should tax the
royalties only. We tax the
machinery and stock of our
sulphur companies and clamor
for more. We should tax the
royalty values on this product
only. We tax the farmer on
his live stock and improve-
ments, all the products of his
intelligence and skill. We
should tax the raw land value
of his farm only. Likewise,
we tax the stock and improve-
ments of the ranch man and
again the tax should be levied
only on the raw land value.
Texas is still rich in natural
resources that await use and
developm'ent. Any tax on
production and distribution
hampers and clogs man’s ac-
tivities. Taxes properly levied
on natural resources do not
add to the cost of production
but open up natural opportun-
ities, stimulate investment of
capital and help the farmer,
wage earner, banker, merchant
and manufacturer, all who
make some useful contribution
to the well being of our peo-
ple.
