DO YOU KNOW
TEXAS?
According to a government esti-
mate there were 17 per cent more
cattle on feed for market in 11 corn-
belt itatea on Angnat 1 than one
year ago.
The aeaaonal decline in milk pro-
duction 'between July and Augnet
waa about 10 percent, the amalleat
percentage decline ever reported at
that season, says the Agricultural
Marketing Service.
Studies made at a state University
reveal that only S7 per cent of pre-
school children in many rural areas
of the country have ever had a health

unions in Texas held charters, accord-

A reader of this newspaper can get
the answer to any question of fact

Back to School. — “Those early
statesmen and patriots who assem-
bled at the call of their adopted and
distressed country 105 years ago at

cation for the people. So interested
were the early Texas planners in the
education of the people that they
set aside nearly fifty million acres of
land for public education, also speci-
fying the building of a-university of
the first class. As the sound of bells
is again to be heard in the land,
we should he and truly are grateful
that their message is music to''our
youth, to parents, to teachers, to
school boards, and to friends of edu-
cation throughout Texas. School
bells are preferable to bombs and
bullets. No state or nation can real-
ize its fullest possibilities and great-
est joys unless it builds upon the edu-
cation of the whole people.”—Gov-
ernor Coke Stevenson.

Hate is a costly lnxury and one
that no man can afford, It is like a
canker in the heart. It is at the hot-_____^______ _____ _
-tom of -many a community factional ment fQUnded no system of edu-
fight and destroys team-work in town
building. In an office, a store or
shop it is like sand in the bedrings
of a machine. In a. nation girding
itself for a supreme crisis, the most
effective sabotage that can be done
J»y any enemy of progress and free-
dom is to sow the seeds of hate.
The dictators strive to divide and
conquor. Suspicion and hate have
destroyed more men than bullets.
A wise home-spun sage, formerly
prominent in Texas politics, once
said that “no man has time to hate
more than three people at once.” A
man recently told me that he had to
leave a certain town because his
“bate list” got too many names on
it. Another leader in Texas is fond
of saying that “the sorriest fellow
you know' can’t help you but he can
hurt you." It is a queer quirk in hu-
man nature that most people would
rather believe evil than good. Per-
haps it soothes some inner sense of
inferiority.
Factions, fudes and fights feed on
hate. It is based on envy, jtalousy,
suspicion, fear, religious intolerance,
political difference—and often on in-
juries we have done to others. As
.Tacitus said: “It is human nature to
him whgm you have injured.”
