through our very gracious and
hospitable land. The United
States and Canada are popular
havens for British children whose
parents seek a temporary hqme
for them while England awaits
the foe in daily dread. GroupB
authorized to place these children
and register names of homes of
shelter are kept busy with calls
and letters from rich and poor
alike who signiffy willingness to
become a sanctuary. Already
children have been placed and
•other homes anxiously await the
arrival of the refugee children.
The immigration law limits the
quota and the total of British
entries is 65,720 a year. Of this
number only 10 per cent may
come in monthly. It would seem
that at such a desperate time
•athen the matter of. days and
weeks is so important, more than
10 per cent should be moved
monthly. However, the main
reason for the delay in having
more British children reach this
country is because there is a
lack of British ships to bring
them here. Many of the English
boatR are carrying enemy aliens
to Canada. So far the English
"have not taken full advantage of
the monthly quota allowed them
but if they do send their child-
ren over faster than our immi-
gration law permits, we hope
that Congress will raise the limit
so the voice saying "Suffer the
little children to come" will echo
•in our kindly American homes.

ARE WE TO BLAME?
They ask if they are forsaken
by a protecting Father, they pray
that a guiding hand will see them
through their difficulties, they
jqwak in despair of a lost people
of a religion failing to help
in extreme hopelessness, of char-
ity and love failing to accomplish,
the power of faith slipping, the
tea* of hope for a nation’s salva-
tion. What can be wrong with
Yrach a world? What blame do
we place on others and what
amount do we hold for ourselves?
Rome place the source of trouble
in the homes where there is a
tack of religious training and a
Christian background. Perhaps
trouble ahead does come to such
homes as these. It is the opinion
the youth who is raised with no
religion does not seek it later as
a man. We all acknowledge that
fear, hate and greed are the dom-
inant forces back of present day
difficulties. If these qualities
could be conquered in the child
during early years perhaps the
man would overcome them. The
background of delinquents is often
i as an excuse. Those youths
----- will become our statesmen,
who will lead our government
our laws, should have
of spiritual training
belief of godliness and
the foundation of their
years. If later they lose
convictions then may we
we have left undone.

NO TIME FOR RHYME
The London Poetry Society has
adjourned for. the duraton of the
v/gr. They state there is little
poetry being written as this war
seems to inspire none. We recall'
some famous, verses that came out
of the first World War that have
lived to be repeated over again.
However, the day of war • as a
daring adveneure, as a crusade,
is dead. The only fitting sort of
poetry would be of such a bitter,
angry and cynical nature that it
would be mostly protest. The
pens of the poets are not forevef
stilled but they cannot work up
much Romance and glamour over
this war. Poetry in London is
postponed until there °can be
heard the song of birds, the
whispering of leaves'll the miir-
muringH ...«■-of lovers. Those in
Teague who appreciate poetry
can understand- the adjournment
of the London society.-

ONE MAN’S OPINION
A subscriber of the masculine
sex comments upon the number
of lady tourists who travel in
slacks. He mentions that though'
local Teague women wear them
and the custom is easier to accept
each summer, still the picture of
a lady stepping from an auto,
clad in a wrinkled pair of slacks
is not pleasing on the masculine
eye. He figures in such cases as
these the husband shouldn’t find
it necessary to shave! Folks who
live around resorts become used
to the , sight of too-farge women
wearing too baggy a slack suit,
uuu .* [i-!-ntrnrn?tg The outfit may be more comfort_
able but there is one type of
wearer who should consult a
full length mirror before appear-
ing in slacks in public. Remem-
ber, this is the other fellow’s
opinion! i.

TO THE LETTER
A recent happening shows how
a seemingly sensible law can be-
come a rather ridiculous one in
some instances. According to
postoffice regulations dogs are
not permitted in these govern-
ment buildings. We understand
the action is to protect the indi-
vidual from being bitten by a
dog while on government prop-
erty. It so happens that in a
mid-western state the “seeing
bye” companion of a blind oper-
ator of a newsstand in the city
poBtoffice, has been bared
from the building due to this
ruling. Dogs trained to lead the
blind now are accepted in trains,
hotels and planes. As we under-
stand it, a "seeing eye” dog, if
not accompanying its blind master,
soon becomes inefficient. Surely
there could be an ammendment to
this strict postoffice regulation
to cover cases such as this.

Too many Teague children mis-
take the meaning of “wants" and
“needs.”
Summer is ■ that time when
radio comedians take a vacation
and let their old jokes rest.
The presidential conventions oven,
the tumult will now give way to
the shouting.
Another difference today, the
fellow who runs away from his
job in Teague, doesn’t expect to
find it waiting for him when he
gets back.
There is never a shortage in
the “small potato" crop for there
are just as, many in Teague as
ever.

COURAGE
A few years ago, General John
J. Pershing, who commanded our
armies in France, travel led helf
way across the United States to
sit at the bedside of a man who
hadn’t walked in fourteen years.
His name is E. Wade Patrick, and
he lives in Brookfield, Missouri.
Wade Patrick’s legs are so atro-
phied that you could plunge a
hatpin into them and he pouldnT
feel it.
Why did General Pershing
travel fifteen hundred miles to see
this cripple? Because he consid-
ered this man a striking example
of courage. And courage is a
auality the old general likes.
During the war, E. Wade Pat-
rick -was a ground mechanic in
an aviation factory. There was an
accident in the factory, and when
it was over, he had to walk on
crutches. But he got worse and
had to get around in a wheel
chair. His condition continued to,
grow worse, He had to go to bed
with paralized and atrophied legs.
Did he give up and say, “Oh,
what’s the use? I’m a cripple. 1
can’t do anything.” No indeed he
didn’t. He had courage. He started
a business right there in bad I ”He
had a frame built over his bed so
he could suspend a typewriter
from it. He had a special rigging
put on the wall and a telephone
fastened to it. He had a buzzer
system put in, which communicated
with every room in the house. He
was ready to go into business!
He hired a salesman and sent
him opt'to sell radios. He directed
the salesman by telephone. He
wrote to radio cabinet manufac-
turing companies and became the
representative in his town for one
of them.
He wrote pamphlets and adver-
tising literature and mailed them
to prospects.
He did so well with the radio
that he decided to expand. Think
of- that! Starting to expand -a
business in bed. He added ironing
machines, washing machines, elec-
tric ironing machnes, vacuum
sweepers. He had to put on an-
other salesman. And another. And
now—right this minute—he has
five salesman. He /directs tJiem by
telephone. They call him twice a
day, and he tells where to go and
what to do.
And not once has he let ,a
salesman make a sale because his
boss was a cripple^. No, indeed.
Very few of the people who buy
know that the head man Ik con-
fined to a bed.
Has he succeeded? A man with
spirit and courage like that will
almost never fail! I have a letter
from him in which he tells me
that his bed-conducted Was
132,000.
And so I say, “Hats off to E.
Wade Patrick!” Can you read
about him without feeing a lttle
more courageous? I can’t. No
wonder General Pershing went to
see him as a fine example of what
a soldier admires most.

‘RICH’ COW FOOD
FAILS IN TESTS
High Cost Outweighs the
Butterfat Increase.
By KABL E. GARDNER ~
Can cows be ted something that
will make the milk richer? la there
such a feed? Many dairymen have
asked these questions, and the prac-
tical answer is ‘‘no.’’
At least that’s what experiments
in the Cornell university depart-
ment of animal husbandry indicate.
Here is an explanation of what
these experiments showed:
At least three feeds are known
that will raise the butterfat test
slightly. At Cornell, experiments
were made with these three: palm
kernel oil meal, coconut oil meal
and ground soybeans.
A feeding of the palm kernel oil
meal and coconut oil-meal at the
rate of 20 per cen tof the grain
ration gave a small rise in test
The increase was less than one-tenth
of 1 per cent and thus of small
importance.
Ground soybeans fed at the rate
of 18 per cent of the dairy grain ra-
tion seemed to produce a small
increase in fat test Other expert
menters have npted a more definite
rise in the fat test when soybeans
comprised more than 25 per cent of
the grain mixture.
Don’t be misled, however. Im-
provement In test is not great and
the cost of these feeds rarely per-
mits their use in proportions neces-
sary to give a practical increase in
butterfat.
The economical method of im-
proving the fat test seems to be
the same method used for several
centuries. This method is selection
and breeding. The bull used in the
herd is of prime importance, be-
cause he influences more offspring
than does any other one animal in
the herd.

Varied Diet for Soil
Will Restore Fertility
A well-rounded diet of plant foods
for undernourished soils, rather than
dependence on a single “cure-all"
for restoring fertility, was urged by
the Middle West Soil Improvement
committee in a recent statement.
“Many farmers believe that al-
falfa, clover, soybeans and other
legumes are the one and only pre-
scription for building a healthy soil,”
the statement points out.
“The value of legumes in crop ro-
tation should not bp underestimated.
But by themselves they are not a
panacea for soil ills. To be effec-
tive, they must be accompanied by
adequate amounts of phosphorus
and potash.”
The benefits from legumes lie in
their ability to deposit nitrogen in
the soil. But if farmers continually
increase the nitrogen and neglect
the phosphorus and potash require-
ments, they will have a soil top-
heavy in one form of plant food and
woefully lacking in the others.
The results of over-emphasis on
one type of plant food at the ex-
pense of others is evident in grain
crops which follow nitrogen-build-
ing crops. Lodging, over-develop-
ment of straw and under-develop-
ment of grain are common forms
of damage.
“Nitrogen, phosphorus and potash
are aH vital, but each must contrib-
ute its benefits in co-operation with
the others. Some land requires more
of one fertilizer element than an-
other. The averagv farmer can de-
termine the needs of his soil by con-
sultation with his county agent or
agronomists of his state college or
experiment station. They are
equipped to make specific sugges-
tions concerning officially recom-
mended fertilizer analyses adapted
to various soils and crops.”'
Keep Farm Records
A farmer is a business man—and
also a scientist, a merchant, a finan-
cier, a manufacturer, and some-
times a weather prophet. A busi-
ness man keeps records of his profit
and loss, and a farmer should do
the same, says R. W. Shoffner, a
farm management specialist. Money
invested in land, equipment, and
buildings is no different from
that invested in stocks —J 1— ‘
