return to Fort Worth af-
recent visit to Stephenville,
Roberson Bus line 1 could
but contrast it with our
from Fort Worth to Ste-
in August, 1879. Fort
was then the nearest rail
Stephenville and the mail
carried by the Overland Mail
from Fort Worth to Yuma,
via Stephenville, a distance
1,600 miles. This line also
passengers. We left Fort
in the afternoon and did not
get to Stephenville until 7 o’clock
next morning, but we were held up
by rain and bad roads. The Rober-
son bus carried us from Stephen-
ville to Fort Worth in two and one
half hours.
Stephenville was then a small
and we soon met most of the
lies there. Among these were:
apt. and Mrs. John A. Frey, Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. Cage, Mr. and Mrs.
C. A. Donovan, Capt. and Mrs. N.
C. Baldwin, Col. and Mrs. J. H.

here. Later on Mr. Willard Mor-
ton and Miss Mollie Titus and Mr.
Albert Schnabel and Miss Dorie
Sloan were married.
Among those who were married
when we first came to Stephenville.
all of the men have died but many
of their wives are living. I may
mention Mrs. J. H. Cage, Mrs. Lee
Young, Mr*. H. H. Neil, Mrs. L.
Frank, Mr*. C. A. Donovan, and
rs. John Shelton. I should have
entioned Mr. John Shelton and
Ms father, Mr. J. A. Shelton as
being among the married folks
then we first came. Of those who
. arried later on some time in the
early nineties were Mr. R. A. Phil-
ips and Miss Emma Smith, and
Walter A. Flynt and Miss Annie
Mcllhanc, and Mr. Will Neal and
Miss Maude Weaver.

MTTE have seen Paul In the lessen
" of Oct. 28 taking farewell of
the elder* of the church at Miletus,
an the eve of his last Journey to
Jerusalem.
Now, In Jerusalem, what Paul
had predicted was coming true,
Paul had come to Jerusalem under
a vow, and. In accordance with cus-
tom, had shorn his head. At the
suggestion of church leaders In Je-
rusalem he had accompanied others
who were under a vow In going in-
to the temple.
Apparently this proposal had
been made with a view to Paul's
protection, but, as often happens,
measures pursued as a sort of
compromise turn out to be most
disastrous in the long run. Where
Paul had committed himself so
fully to the Gospel, and to Its proc-
lamation to the Gentiles, and to
the reception of Oentiles into the
•Christian church, It Is strange that
he should have lapsed back Into
formal Judaistlc observances such
as this shaving of his head.
At any rate, It was his liberal
Spirit which was the basis of at-
tack upon him. Being seen in the
(ample by Ills enemies he was ac-
cused of having.brought Greeks in-
to the sacred edifice. He was
seized by the mob, and either res-
cued, or arrested, by Roman sol-
diers when his enemies were about
to kill him. The Romans had ar-
rived on the scene In response to
an urgency call that "all Jerusa-
lem was iu an unroar.”
Bound With Chains
The hand of Roman law was
firm, but It was' the hand of law.
The chief captain commanded that
Paul should be bound with two
chains, .evidently under the as-
sumption that he had rather a dan-
gerous fanatic to deal with. He
supposed that Paul was an Egyp-
tian who had formerly gathered to
himself a dangerous company and
made considerable uproar, w
Paul wa* about to be bound for
scourging, but his,Inquiry as to the
lawfulness of scourging au uncon-
demned Roman brought consterna-
tion to the centurion who was di-
recting proceedings, and to the
chief captain in authority over him.
c
The chief captain came and In-
quired about' Paul’s citizenship.
It was a moment, perhaps, of jus-
tifiable pride for Paul. When Paul
assured the chief captain that he
was a Roman citizen snd the cap-
tain Incredulously answered, "With
a great sum obtained I this free-
dom,” Paul must have felt a par-
donable superiority as he said,
"But I was free-born."
Our lesson leaevs the incident at
this stage, but the following chap-
ter goes on to tell the story of
Paul's accusation by the chief
priests and the Jewish council and
Paul's defense before those of his
own religion and race. The fact
of the matter Is that Paul’s arrest
at this time Is the beginning of
momentous experiences and conse-
quences.
He appears successively before
various individuals and tribunals,
the most valuable product of these
experiences being the record of hla
addresses on these occasions. But
the action now "begun ultimately
led him to Rome and to the Impris-
onment there with all that deep ex-
perience that has come down to
the church In such Epistles as the
letters to the Ephesians and to the
I’Uilippians.
business,” and must be judged sole-
ly by its own canons, is being rec-
ognized as inherently unseund, and
is fast breaking down. Human in-
terests do not have independent
existences, but each affects every
other.
Business conducted in squalor
and uglinexs dwarfs the normal
aesthetic life of everyone concern-
ed; if it is dishonest, everyone’s
moral sense is perverted. Business
must not see itself simply as self-
expression for business men. Its
effects are public, not just personal
and private.
Fortunately, American business
is learning that lesson, though it
still has far to go. It is giving up
its claims to anarchistic privacy
and independence, and recognizes
more and more that it must take
account of its whole effect on the
whole life of the whole people.—
Arthur Morgan.

Popular education is necessary
for the preservation of those condi-
tions of freedom, political and so-
cial, which are indispensable to
free individual development. And,
in the second place, no instrumen-
tality less universal in its power
and authority than government can
secure popular education * * *
Without popular education, more-
over, no government which rest*
upon popular action can long en-
dure. The people must be schooled
in the knowledge and, if possible,
in the virtues upon which the main-
tenance and success of free insti-
tutions depend. No free govern-
ment can last in health if it lose
hold of the traditions of Its his-
tory, and in the public school* these
traditions may be and should be
sedulously preserved, carefully re-
planted in the thought and con-
sciousness of each successive gener-
ation.—Woodrow Wilson.

Of all inspiriting and moralizing
agencies in American society to-
day, the public school alone has
gained in influence and increased in
strength since the civil war. Legis-
lation has declined in efficiency,
the courts are less respected, the
church has been left behind, and
education—public education—alone
has retained its hold on democracy
and is becoming more and more
effective as the years go by.—
Charles William Eliot, Former
President, Harvard University.
* * *
The rising generation has a re-
ligion of its own which is nebulous
and without specific direction.
When parents or teachers forbid
an action as wrong, youth is apt
to ask why it is wrong. It is not
enough to roply that any given ac-
tion is not conducive to individual
or social good, unless the answer is
met by the recipient's faith in that
Higher Power which always makes
for righteousness.
We here confront conditions
which measurably justify the com-
plaint that the new learning has
shaken traditional domestic mor-
ality. The economic independence
of girls and young women, their
dress and demeanor, the free use
of the motor car, the passing of
the chaperon and the practice of
contraception augment the severity
of the problem, and seem to reauire
a wise superintendence which is
not always in sight. Nor will it be
so while parents and adults in gen-
eral are untrue to their loftiest
professions.
The resultant confusion of values
bewilders young people whose nat-
ural guardians are so deeply en-
gaged in money making or in the
diversions money procures that
they are impotent for their respon-
sibilities. What is labeled educa-
tion frequently omits the high if it
is hard of attainment, and temporal
prosperity breeds a soft and flabby
type of manhood which prevents
the unselfish service to which
outhful idealism inclines,—Dr. S.
arkes Cadman.

There are probably more honest
minded men in the world today
than ever before in history. More
men whose "word is as good as
their bond,” who hate hypocrisy,
who take a personal delight in be-
ing square when nobody is watch-
ing. The very thought that they
might profit, either in this world
or in a possible other world, though
professing to believe more than
they really do believe, re\
them.—Bruce Barton.

Balanced Feeds
Purina feeds make your problem of “what to feed”
easy and sale. If you succeed with your poultry or
dairy cattle, of necessity you must feed a balanced
ration. In hens the body must be maintanied and at the
same time produce an equal number of whites and
yolks. With the balance found in Purina it is easy to
explain why the average Purina-fed hen produces 148
eggs a year, while the average grain-fed hen produces
5 or 6 dozen eggs per year. In the same ratio cattle
will pay if given a balanced ration.

MONDAY—GOOD OUTLOOK
Our school started last Monday
with most of the children present.
We hope to have a good school with
Prof. Marlin Browning of Tolar as
principal, and Miss Lois Amos as

northwest to Albany, the Texas and
Pacific being about 25 miles north,
and the Texas Central about 12
mUes south, left Stephenville “high
and dry,” and it was practically
called a dead down until about 1890
when the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande Railroad was built through
here. Then she began to revive,
and has been growing steadily ever
since. In my next, I will try to
have something to say about the
new business houses and other en-
terprises that came as the result
of the railroad.
Since writing the above I recall
that I have left out several of the
old timer* who were here in 1879
when we first came to Stephenville.
Prominent among these were Judge
T. L. Nugent, Col. J. D. Berry,
Capt. John S. Hyatt, Dick Long,
Bill Slaughter, J. D. Lowe, Bill
Chapman and others I hope to
think of later on. Also I failed to
mention that among those who
married soon after we came here
were Judge W. J. Oxford and Miss
Hale, Billy Dawson and Miss Rob-
erts, Sam Russell and Mis* Chris-
tian. .Then later in the nineties
Judge R. P. Young and Miss Styles,
Baxter Ator and -Miss Brumley,
Bingham King and Miss Morris,
and Rob Slaughter married Mrs. J.
W. Gray’s sister and Will H. Frey,
also married Mrs. Gray’s sister,
Marvin Faulker and Miss Blanche
Philips and E. O. Mcllhany and
Miss Mollie Cage and Prof. Frank
White and Miss Jessie Cage were
also married. Later on Don King
King married Miss Bertie Davis,
Shall Quality Be Permited
To Win?
Do you know that there are certain interests in Texas
who are making the talk that the Whole Milk Plants
are getting too prominent? That the Sweet Cream
idea should not be permitted to gain headway?
It is time for those who want to see the producer get
more profit to look out for such moves.
Quality is the backbone of this BETTER PRICE
MOVEMENT. Quality is getting plenty of recognition
among the buyers too. Our Honey Dew Sweet Cream
Butter is gaining favor every day.
Those of us who want to see the producer more pros-
perous must keep in mind the move that may be made
to “feather the neats*' of certain interests. Also those
who want to see quality butter used more and more
I take an interest in the operation of Whole Milk
Cream Markets. INSIST ON HONEY DEW
You are helping along a good cause.
John W. Frey married a Miss Bell,
Jack Moss married a Miss Gentry,
and Bruce Cage married Miss Pearl
Wiley. There are others if I should
recall, I may mention later on but
I am already getting these sketches
too “modern.”
Among the old timers I failed to
mention in the proper place, were
E. B. and George Scott, publishers
of the “Empire” who were running
the Empire at that time.

If men employed by the Govern-
ment to keep liquor from being sold
can be corrupted, then men employ-
ed by a State to sell liquor could
also be corrupted.
Conversely, if a force of men,
one hundred per cent incorruptible,
could be found to sell liquor as em-
ployes of a State, then a force of
men, also one hundred per cent in-
force prohibition, as employes of
corruptible, can be found to en-

Young fellow, are you making it
hard for the pretty girl who works
near you in your department to tio
her work?
Often the good - looking girl
makes greater effort with less suc-
cess to do the work for which she
is paid, than the un-attractive girl.
Not infrequently it is due to in-
terruption by men.
Men stop to talk to the good
looker, address remarks in passing
that make it more difficult for her
to concentrate and do her best.
Some companies hesitate about
employing unusually pretty girls
because they think it works both
way*—the girls are hampered and
the men neglect their jobs.
It is unfortunate that such a han-
dicap should be put on good looks.
The men are usually to blame.
Also it is a feminine trait to
want to be popular.
For this reason girls often do
not give their fellow workers the
rebuffs they deserve.
How do you treat the girls where
you are employed?
If you bother them you are not
giving them a fair deal.
If they lose their jobs you may
be responsible.
Quit kidding and do the work for
which you are paid.—Houston
Chronicle.
