HARPY BIRTHDAY
There are a number of an-
niversaries that we are apt to for-
get, weddings become the chief
ones, hut an anniversary that^ocal
youth should celebrate is that man-
ufactured ice cream is 88 years
oid this summer. Ice cream is un
iversal in favor and the luxury of
the poor man. We are often apt
4o take sides between home-made
ard “boughten” ice cream and
each side has its advocates, but
’whether the delicious dessert
v no tries from the home or the fac-
tory, we salute it as a necessity
to good living. A summer without
a cone of the double-dip variety
or a sundae topped with syrup
and nuts, wouldn’t be a summer
•worthwhile. There is many a
brand of cheap ice cream to spoil
the taste due to not enough butter
fat or too much air content. We
know that there is something
wrong when the fluffiness is past
reason and the stuff shimmies in
the dish. But whatever the faults
we wish ice cream a happy birth-
day afid long may it live to tempt
the palate of the old and yqpng,
nch and poor.

canvas cities
As you read the goings on in
your Teague paper, you have noti-
ced that young people here, as
throughout the land, are taking
.advantage of the annual camps
conducted by the 4-H clubs. These
camps or “canvas cities” give the
youth the advantages of any reg-
ulated summer resort but are con-
ducted along the lines of a city
government with a mayor and
officials to run it. The “citizens”
receive awards for merit, and
there are educational meetings be-
sides the enjoyment pf the outdoor
life. It is satisfying to all parents
who have children in 4-H clubs,
and it is with renewed vigor and
added vision that these young
people return to farms and com-
munities better for the association
and knowlege gained qn this vaca-
tion.

EASY LIVING
The incident of the convicts in
a penitentiary going on a sit-down
strike unless they were promised
they might continue to buy silk
underwear was serious. It was
also funny and sort of silly. They
aiso asked for a bedtime “bite"
along with the underwear! The
idea sounds like it might be a
joke but it brought forth tear gas
and machine guns to point the
error of. their ways and a new
warden was appointed to let the
prisoners know that after all a
penitentiary is not a boudior. Folks
in Teague who cannot afford silk
underwear feel that a state instu-
tion should not favor crimnals
with luxuries the citizen himself
cannot buy.

your own use, putting down first
these things which are absolutely
necessary if you are to succeed
at all; next,those which are desir-
able if it is possible to include
them; last, but most important
to your personal success, those
things which are your own con-
tribution.
Now, before getting to work,
drop your own point of view and
ree your prospective task from the
position of your audience, of the
“ultimate consumer.” Who is to
benefit by the activity? Who, if
you are a creative worker, Ts
your audience ? Who, if you are
selling an article, is your predes -
tined consumer? If you were in
his shoes, what would you like to
see included in the offering?
If you can imaginatively enter
into the state of mind of those
through whom you hope to attain
your success, you can frequently
add just those elements which
will make your work irresistable.
Oddly enough, it is more often
the creative worker who fails to
expand the standards for his work
by considering the half-formulated
desires of his audience. Bart of
if you look exclusively to lease
others what you do will seldom
be worth doing; but if your idea
of success includes recognition,
then the more you can learn im-
aginatively of your audience the
better.
If, knowing their tastes, you
can give them not only what they
want but something much better
than they, being non-profesionals,
could imagine, you are sure of
your success.
Having taken all these things
into consideration, having formu-
lated as clearly as possible the
ideal towards., which_____your own
work should tend, before launch-
ing it into the world you should
check it against a set of ques-
tions which arise logically from
the possession of well-defined
standards.
Each line of activity will have
a different set, each individual
worker will alter the emphasis,
or have ,his own idea of the prop-
er order for these critical ques-
tions, but roughly the finished
work should be measured in some-
what this way:
Is what I have done as good as
the best in the field?
Has it everything necessary for
all ordinary purposes?
Have I added any special values
by way of an original contribu-
tion ?
Have I made it as attractive
and convenient as possible for
those who art its logical users?
Have I considered whether
there is another group to which
it might also be made to appear?
What more can I do before 1
release it from myself ^nd send
it out to make its own way?
Again, if you are one of
group of workers, imagination can
help you in still another way, by-
showing you where you stand in
relation to those around you.
When you have seen this you can
work out a code for yourself
which will remove many of the
irritations and dissatisfactions of
your daily work.
There is a sucker born every
minute, and they ' live a long
time, too.
We consider the Will Rogers
memorial unique in that it is a
statue of a man with his hands
in his own pockets.
Have you ever noticed that
the fellow in Teague who insists
on singing his own praises, can’t
carry a tune.?
You might call a few men in
Teague optimists, but the truth
is they don’t care enough and are
too lazy to kick.

The Bureau of Agricultural Eco-
nomics informs us that the cash
income of American farmers from
all sources during the first five
months of 1939, was 47 million
dollars more than during the same
period of the previous year. But
we miikt remember that the gov
ernment borrowed about 161 mil-
lion dollars to help under their
farm program, and figures show
that sales from farm products de-
creased 1.04 million dollani. So
this doesn’t make the first figuring

most interesting talk with Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Padgett after their
return from California. They
were extremely fortunate, to our
notion, and all you admirers
Deanna Durbin would doubtless
agree with us, when we tell you
that they had the pleasure of talk
ir.g to that young lady and even
taking her picture as she was
made up for her current cinema
attraction. It was their joint
opinion, however, that young lady
is older than her pictures and
press agents will allow the public
to think. Mrs. Padgett was de-
lighted by the whole trip, but was
deeply impressed by the Indian
pow-wow that they saw staged.

about shows like “Naughty But
Nice,” shown at the Stay ^eatfe
last Sunday and Monday, is why
good bit players liije Allen Jenkins
and Maxie Rosenbioom aren’t
given better parts when they
steal the show anyway. Ann
Sherdian could stand and sing,
“Hooray for Spinach” all day and
not be so entertaining as Allen
Jenkins telling Dick Powell that
he made his blood stands on end.
Of course, we could be wrong,
but that is our opinion. Gale
