Is a college education essential
to success? 1 his is an old ques'-
tion that has been debated time
and time again. Surely education
can harm no one, the more the
■better, yet on the other
hand—Many great men have
reached tho height of success who
never went to college. Very few
of our forefathers ever had a de-
gree—unless of fever. Yet these
men were far from being illeterate,
they were self-educated men. In
other words a college is not the
only place where one receives an
education. The old school of ex-
perience is hard to beat. The
question is often asked if the pres-
ent age with all its advantages is
turning out men and women of
any higher type or greater ability
than diH the centuries past.
is soaked and full of pools. A
poor cow on the Allen Ranch near
Strawn got caught in the bog in a
prairie branch Wednesday. As we
came by Mr. Guard of Strawn and
some men were trying to pull her
out. The water was swirling under
her nose then and rhe was bogged
up to her shoulders. Car drivers
could hardly see in the rain along
the highway and all cars had their
lights on. It was the hardest rain
we’ve had in months. The gates
of heaven seemed to open up fend
let the rain fall, not gently, but
fiercely. Parched prairies as well
as parched souls are at last assuag-
ed from the long drouth.
Albert Talik of Strawn Dies
Albert Talik, well known Strawn
resident, died at his home in that
city last Friday. He was 65 years
of age. Strawn Merchandise Com-
pany directed the funeral Tuesday
morning at St. John's Catholic
Church. father Paul Niedziela
conducted the funeral services.
Mr. Talik was born in Poland
where he received his education
and later worked in the coal mines
of that country. He and Miss
Marie Golec were married in 1894
and immigrated to America in
1903- 1 hey moved to this county
in 1905, where they have since re-
sided. Mr. Talek worked for
many years in the Mt. Marion coal
mine.
He is survived by his wife and
seven children. Burial was made
I in the Mt. Marion Cemetery.

And have we had rain this week?
It hasn’t let up in our vicinity since
early Tuesday morning. We must
have had at least 4 or 5 inches of
rain. The creeks are bnnk full and
the branches roaring. The prairie

Chaplain of the American Legion,
Department of Texas, and pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church of
Mineral Wells, and Mrs. Keathley,

Neeley Car Wrecked
The sedan car of Roy D. Neeley
of Brad was badly damaged Tues-
day when hit by a car driven by a
negro from California. Mr. Neeley
had started home when his car
was hit by the larger car which
skidded across the road near the
old Hazlewood Spring. The
drivers were not hurt. Both cars
were covered by insurance. At
first it was thought the negro was
joe Louis as he looked very much
like the large prize fighter of na-
tional repute. For a short while
quite a bit of excitement prevailed
in Palo Pinto until his identity was
made known.

Traffic Heavy Thi*
Week
If you don’t believe Highway
89 on the South Side of the
county is a detriment to Min-
eral Wells, Palo Pinto, Strawn,
Breckenridge and Albany, just
watch the added traffic that
passes over No. I during a
heavy rainy spell like we have
had this week. In several hours
time traffic had more than doub-
led along No. I, and its safe to
say that 89 was abandoned be-
cause as yet it has not been pav-
ed and is not an all weather
road. Highway 89 dosen’t
benefit a single town in Palo
Pinto County, and for our part
we’re sorry that it was ever
built. It would be a different
proposition if it were really
needed—but it isn’t.

A factory owner said it
was because of this new Free
pick-up-and-delivery of less
than carload freight. This is
door-to-door service with no
extra charge added to the
freight bill.
A traveling salesman said it
was because so many passen-
ger and freight trains now run
on faster schedules.
There was a school prin-
cipal in the group and he
said it was because train
travel is so much cheaper
for passengers. He said
passenger fares are at the
lowest point in history,
with substantial reductions
if you buy a round-trip
ticket—i
-and no more sur-
charge for riding in sleep-
ing cars.
One man, a farmer, said he
liked something he could de-
pend on, that’s why he was
traveling by train.
Another man, a newspaper re-
porter, said people were in
favor of railroad travel be-
cause it is by far the safest. He
quoted a lot of statistics from a
book called,“Live andLet Live.”
A banker we all know by
name said railroad tax pay-
ments mean a lotin this state.

ments, appreciate the public’s
good will and increased patron-
age, and pledge continued prog-
ress.
