A Ride
Through
The Country
fc In my ride through the country
phis week I found the work on the
(Cooke County roads progressing
prery well. The gravel from the
aunty line to the C. R. Hale corner
finished with the exception of
soothing the shoulders.
The Cedar Creek graveling began
Dn Tuesday and is coming along
Mcely. V
' These two stretches of gravel,
phough ei.ort,-arc on bad places
:id are a great help not only to all
"^o nrfist -travel over them, but
iso to "he"men who need and ap-
reciater-Ahe work it furnishes.
. I noticed one of the prettiest herd
i calves I ever saw on the Redman
Iros. farm this week. All seemed
be the same height and about
1<* same color and weight. ■
The recent showers, though not
early enough, have been sufficient
i place for planting wheat and
?rley. This makes a good pasture
E>rcattle, horses, and other live
lock for winter grazing.
j Several farmers have gathered
peir sweet potatoes. The yield
fas very small.
Schools have started all along the
pay, now, and we see the familiar

Conyers College
ENROLLMENTS
"We are observing a milepost of
what is not only the largest state
supported teachers college in Un-
ited States, but the largest teacher
training institution in the world."
These words by Senator R, K.
Stuartof Ft. Worth Saturday fitly
expressed the theme of the Gold-
en Jubilee celebrations that offici-
ally began on the campus of the
North Texas State Teachers College
last Saturday morning when Pres-
ident W. J. McConnell officially
accepted for the college four new
buildings recently completed on
the campus by the Public Works
Administration.
Senator Stuart, acting head of
the board of regents of the st tr>
ceachers colleges of Texas, made
the principal address at a calleu
assembly of the north Texas college
last Saturday at 11 a. m., during
which the buildings were accepted,
outstanding men in the history of
the college were presented, and the
golden jubilee celebrations of the
college were institiuted. The day
was designated as McConnell Day
in honor of the president of the
school, during whose administra-
tion, 1933-39, the college plant has
been increased in value by nearly
a million dollars, and the enroll-
ment has increased more than
eighty per cent. The present en-
rollment of the college had passed
2900 early last \veek, according to
figures from the registrar's office,
and was the largest winter session
enrollment in the history of either
Denton college, the enrollment of
Texas State College for Women
having decreased slightly from last
year's figures of 26"'

Birthday Dinner
Sunday For W. H.
Browning
The W. H. Browning home in the
Spencer Community was the secne
of much merriment last Sunday
when Mrs. Browning entertained
with a surprise dinner for her
husband, on the occasion of his
birthday.
When Mrs. Browning decided to
give the dinner, she sent out cards
telling friends to simply follow
them home from church, so that
it would be a complete surprise to
Mr. Browning. The "complete Sur-
prise" was not successful, because
Mr. Browning "accidently" read one
of the cards, but of course he did
not let it be known at the time.
Anyway, all the forty-two persons
present had a good time talking
over present problems and old
pleasures.
Birthday dinner guests were Mr.
and Mrs. Olan King and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ivins and fa-
mily, Mr. and Mrs. Grover Brown
and family, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Whaley and family, Mr. and Mrs.
Otha Whaley and family, Mr. and
Mrs. Jim Ivins, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver
O'Neal, Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Teague
and Mr. and Mrs. Maxey Dowd and

ois Bend, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Dod-

You asked for It! Here it is—
a cow eating grass on the main

You'll remember that when I

unless I could make a picture
of a cow eating grass on the
Main street.
The enclosed view, made on
Polk street, seems to Indicate
that cows not only grate but
grow fat and contented on the
busiest street of the Panhandle
Metroplis.
I feel certain that the news-
papers and the people of Am-

of the picture and declare ther^

trick Is that the cow Is grazing

Dallas, Oct. 13—The State Fair
of Texas opened last Saturday in
Dallas as a precedent-shattering
statewide showing of Concentrated
Texas.
Opening day attendance, closely
approximating the 100,000 mark,
was the highest in its 51 years of
activity. The crowds have held un-
iformly above records of last year
during this week.
The State Fair broke a precedent
ir having as its guests more news-
papermen than ever before, re-
gistrations passing 900.
It broke a precedent in the wide
diveisity of its general livestock
exhibits in all divisions. Its farm
exhibits are the largest on record
Its first few days have been ac-
claimed uniformly by visitors as
the greatest presentation of Texas
and the best balanced program of
amusement and education ever of-
fered in the Southwest.
This great center will run full
blast with every show and every
exhibit intact until the closing ball
at midnight of October 22. On the
first day it presented a completed
show. It will be complete when
the last visitor passes through the
turnstiles.
Saturday will witness in the Cot-
ton Bowl the annual clash between
the Universities of Texas and Ok-
lahoma, the outstanding grid event
of the season. Monday is Negro
Day, when Wiley College and Pra-
irie View will clash with a section
reserved for whites.

Gratitude is the memory of the
heart.—Jean Baptiste Massieu
While I would fain have some
tincture of all the virtues, there
is no quality I would rather have,
and be thought to have, than grat-
itude . , . .—Cicero
Gratitude is one of those things
that cannot be sought. It must be
born with men, or else all the ob-
ligations in the world will not cre-
ate it.—Lord Halifax.
Sweet music's melting fall, but
sweeter yet, The still small voice
of Gratitude.—Thomas Gray
Thanksgiving for a former doth
invite God to bestow a second bene-
fit!—Robert Herrick
Gratitude is much mure than a
verbal expression of thanks. Action
expresses more gratitude than
speech.—Mary BakerEddy
