and scabbard. I've never felt so
important since."
While working for Mr. Hittson,
Mr. Hazlewood made several trips
to Colorado with cattle. These
were adventurous and hazardous
journeys, though filled with mo-
notony and utter physical exhaus-
tion. I he trip took about two
months. I he cattle were not rush-
ed, but were allowed to graze
along the way. Water was good.
I he hard job was watching
herd at night. Sometimes t h e
weather was bad, perhaps a cold
rain fell, or a cold north wind was
blowing. The cowbov was per-
haps soaked to the skin. Then he
Keep Your Promises
We never would make a prom-
ise that we know we can't keep
and after we make a promise we
should keep it if at all possible. If
something happens that makes it
impossible for us to keep our
promise, we should go to the per-
son to whom we gave it and ex-
plain fully why we can’t keep it.
When we make a promise that
we do not intend to keep, it is not
a promise; it is a lie. A promise
is the only thing that we can give
to someone else and yet keep,
the It is no good unless we do keep it,
after giving it, because if it isn't
kept, it is broken.
Broken promises have caused
many heartaches, many disap-
pointments, many tears. A brok-
on the Baker Hotel lot, and were
built high above the ground. The
pigs of the village loved to lie un-
der the floor where it waa cool
and comfortable. As a conse-
quence the fleas became prevalent
and Mr. Turner says the village
, was covered with them. Those
'days passed and from delivery boy
he progressed to half owner in a
drug store. Mr. Bowen giving him
his start. Mr. Turner’s experience
in business in Mineral Wells has
been one success story after an-
other throughout his long business
career. He has repaid he kindness
shown to him by Mr. Bowen in
many ways. Mr. 1 urner has per-
haps helped more young men to
get started into a successful busi-
ness of their own than any other
citizen of Mineral Wells. It is
pleasing to know that all of these
young men have made good in'
their respective lines.

It was on one of these trips
the trail that young Hazlewood
went on to Montana and punched
cattle a while and became discour-
aged and perhaps homesick and
almost threw his most prized pos-
sessions into the Yellowstone Riv-
er-
Mr. Hazlewood was the first cat-
tle inspector for the Panhandle As-
sociation of lexas and was later
sent to Kansas City. He resigned
his position there to operate a large
ranch in Old Mexico for the Na-
tional Bank of Commerce, Kansas
City, John N. Connell was the head
man of the ranch, and sent him on
the job. The ranch had 1,200,000
acres and 40,000 cattle grazed up-
on it. Mr. Hazlewood operated
this ranch several years, until it
was sold.
He later returned to Minerrl
Wells and entered the real estate
business where he has since resid-
ed. However the memories of his
cowbov days are the happiest and
he thinks cowboy life is the only
real life.
Another brother, Jace, two years
younger, also lives in Mineral
Wells.
When I was a young lad, I earn-
up!ed a dollar. I earned it by hard
work and when it was paid to me
and I was taking it home, I plan-
ned what 1 was going to do with it.
i 1 here were two or three inexpen-
sive things which I hadv long
wanted, and I planned to buy
them.
That evening a chum of mine
I came to the house. He needed a
! dp liar for some absolute necessity.
! 1 le promised to pay it back in a
I day or two. 1 let him have it, but
! he did’nt pay it back,
j That was over a half a century
I ago and he is still living. He is
I well-to-do, but he has never offer-
j ed to pay me that dollar and I
J have never asked him for it.
He probably thinks that a dollar
is a very small amount and that 1
do not need it, which is true. But
he forgets it was the first dollar 1
ever earned and that, for that reas-
on, it was very precious to me.
He is still my friend—in a way'
Byt 1 never think of him as a real
friend. I have since loaned many
sums of money to various people.
Some loans never were paid back,
but I have forgotten about them.
But 1 can never forget the loss of
my first dollar. It has entirely de-
stroyed my friendship for my boy-
hood chum.—E. W. Cooley in
Tractor Farming, April, 1936.
