Telling the truth may get a
man into trouble sometimes, but
| look what happens to the fellow
who tells the plain, unvarnished
truth on all occasions.
That the first three months of
this year have been exceedingly
wet is indicated by the fact that
21 inches of water has fallen dur-
ing that period.. Total rainfall
for the last year’s 12 months was
37.63—an unusually dry year.
Last Sunday was one fine,
spring day, following the storms
and rains of Friday and Satur-
day. Much gas was burned by
pleasure drivers, the hungry fin-
ny tribe had a hard time with
barbed hooks, golf courses were
crowded and others just sat
around sunning themselves, be-
gosh.

Repeated warnings by econo-
mists that a rainy day might be
coming doesn’t worry sonv peo-
ple. They will rely on the gov-
ernment to supply umbrellas.
Roger Babson says the coun-
try is on the way downstairs.
Well, that’s better than jumping
out of the fourteenth story win-
dow as we did in the early 30’s.
A part of the Gulf of Mexico,
belching flames and mud like a
volcano, caved in and swallow-
ed drilling rigs, a barge and two
landing boats Wednesday.
The weird eruption occurred at
a blazing gas well at Pass A
Loutre, easternmost mouth of the
Mississippi River. No one was
injured.
A Shell Oil Company spokes-
man said burning gas formed a
crater underneath the ocean
floor. The eruption was similar
to a volcano under water.
Gas still is bubbling up and
burning on the water’s surface.
At times pressure increases and
sends a geyser of flames, smoke,
mud and water 75 to 100 feet into
the air.

More than four million dollars
will, likely be spent modernizing

system was good enough. All
that it needed was a better class

Gives Recipe for
Real Religion
No sooner does a foreign na-
tion develop an economic head-
ache than she sends for our
Washington M. D.’s, care U. S.
Treasury. A few large rolls of
long green is hastily applied and
all goes Well until another head-
ache develops. ,,
Aged Spinster Dies,
Leaving Fortune
Akron. — An aged, eccentric
spinster with rare business acu-
men but always boasting—false-
ly—that she in tier youth starred
with the Metropolitan Opera Co.,
died in a hospital here leaving a
fortune of more than $1,000,000
—and no known relatives.
She was Miss Louise Butler,
probably past 80. For the last
30 years she had lived alone here
in a small, $2.75-a-day hotel
room, much of her wealth piled
around her in dresser drawers,
valises, vases, and even in paper
bags.
SLIGHT CHANGE
Patient: “Since we’ve known
each other so long, doctor. I’m
not going to insult you by pay-
ing my bill, but I’ll leave you a
handsome legacy in my will.”
Doctor: “That’s very nice of
you. By the way, let me have
that prescription again, there’s a
slight change I’d like to make
in it."
Whether it is a “new deal,” old
deal or “fair deal,” the principle
is the same. Call it a some-
thing-for-nothing deal and you
will define it accurately. The
point overlooked by the benefi-
ciary is that the winners and los-
ers alike pay for all they get and
don’t get.
MRS. EFFIE SMITH AN1
JOHN KEEVER MARRY
Mrs. Effie Smith of Mt. Pleas-
ant and John Keever of Long-
view, were united in mariage
Saturday evening at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Franklin of
Mt. Pleasant, formerly of Talco.
Dr. O. J. Chastjin performed the
double ring Ceremony' in the
presence of close relatives and
friends. Following a wedding
trip to Florida, the couple will
make their home in Mt. Pleasant.
The following recipe for a real
religion is given by Judge Lewis
Fawcett:
Get religion like a Methodist;
Experience it like a Baptist;
Stick to it like a Lutheran;
Conciliate it like a Congrega-
tionalism
Be proud of it like an Episco-
palian;
Simplify it like a Quaker;
Glorify it like a Jew;
Pay for it like a Presbyterian;
Practice it like a Christian
Scientist;
Work at it like the Salvation
Army;
Propagate it like a Roman Ca-
tholic;
Enjoy it like a Negro.

NOT GUILTY
IF DOGS COULD VOTE
HOW TO BE TRUE
Art Student: “You’re the first
model I’ve kissed.”
Model: “Really? How many
haw you had?’
Art Student: “Four—an apple,
an orange, a vase of flowers, and
you.”—
One day, when he was a Sena-
tor, former Secretary of State
j James F. Byrnes was listening to
ja colleague who was delivering
I a lon-winded address on the
) plight of the nation’s dogs. Dog
I food, wailed the colleague, was
| being sold for human consump-
j tion, creating a food shortage for
the canine population.
When the Senator had conclud-
ed his eloquent address, a friend
asked Byrnes: “What did you
,thing of that speech?”
"Not 0 bad,” replied Byrnes.
I “What a pity that dogs don’t
vote.”
The police car came batting
down the road with screaming
siren and screeched to a stop be-
side a small boy.
“Sonny, did you see an airplane
come down around here?”
“Nope,” said the lad, as he
pocketed his slingshot. "I’ve only
been shooting at bottles today.”

V. THEDFORD, Mayor.
AUSTIN. — As a safeguard
against the serious and disabling
disease known as undulant fever
or Malta Fever, Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
State Health Officer, advises
Texans to drink milk only from
approved sources. Undulant fev-
er is usually acquired by human
beings as a result of consuming
raw milk or raw milk products
from cows infected with Bang’s
disease.
Raw milk or milk products can
be consumed with safety only
when they are known to be pro-
duced by cows tested and found*
to be free of Bang’s disease. Pas-
teurization, of course, will kill
the germs if present.
To assist in lowering the inci-
dence of undulant fever all dai-
rymen should remove cattle in-
fected with Bang’s disease from
their herds as soon as the disease
is discovered. Even if the milk
is made safe for human consump-
tion by pasteurization, infected
—
cow* are still a menace to health
since they can transmit the dis-
ease to healthy animals and to
their owner and other persons
who handle them.
“Undulant fever from cattle,”
Dr. Cox said, “is one health haz-
ard we can eradicate in our
state through absolutely safe
milk supplies from dairy herds
free from Bang’s disease.
“Unless a herd is known to be
free from this infection, only
pasteurized milk should be used
so that the disease cannot be
passed on to the consumer of
milk and dairy products."
GOLD STANDARD
m.
Fond Mother: “I hope my darl-
ing has been as good as gold all
day."
Nurse: “No, ma’am, he went
off the gold standard about tea
time."
Seasons are caused by the fact
that the axis of the earth is not
perpendicular to the rays of the _ J
sun.
Soldier Finds Rifle'
Used 5 Year8 Ago
Camp Hood. — The Army fig-
ured the odds against it at 3,600,-
000,000 to 1, but:
Pfc. Natal Guuglio, stationed
here, picked up an M-l rifle
among a shipment arriving here
and noted the serial number,
6993.
It was the one assigned to him
at Camp Sutton, N. C., in August,
1944, which he carried through
five major combat actions, in-
cluding the battles of the Bulge,
the Ruhr and the Rhine.
Guuglio said he had last seen
the rifle when he checked it in
at Marseilles, France, in August,
1945, at the end of the war.
NATURALLY!
FREEDOM OF THE WISH
Americas’ the land of hope,
And don’t think people don’t;
Some hope that prices will go
down
And others hope they won’t.

The co*t of providing telephone service has steadily increased until
present construction cost^ have,in sony instances, more than doubled
during the past few years.
Telephone rates, being subject to regulations by state and local auth-
orities, lag far behind the increased cost of materials and wages.
As a result the present high costs of operations and constructions
swke it increasingly hard to stretch rates based on pre-war conditions
to “do the jobf’ necessary tofurnish telephone good service and in-
crease telephone facilities.
