is in our blood, the old jungle habits

when you think not, the dogs of war
will be unleashed, and human blood
runs like rivers. Divines with the
songs of love on their lips will jump
out of their pulpits, buckle on a
sword and shoulder a gun, and then
it’s to hell with reason, nothing but':
the shedding 0f blood will appease
their wrath. That’s human history,

It is difficult to see how a fair
rate structure can be created with-
out consideration of the present
value of railroad property. Even
under the system now in force, the
railroads, in spite of increasingly
economical management, have been
unable to earn the “fair return” es-'
tablished by law. If an arbitrary

W. Adams, superintendent of the
Childress schools, following a meet-

lard was the unanimous selection of
the members of the board and Mr.
Adams says the work of Mr. Ballard
at Sulphur Spring’s last year stamps
him as one of the outstanding high
school coaches of the state. He
carried his grid warriors through
the season without defeat, and
piled up top-heavy scores against
his opponents. His record in bas-
ketball was equally good, taking
his charges through the season
without a loss charged against
them in his district, only to lose
out to Denton, state champions, in
the bi-district.
A graduate of Austin College, the
school that is noted for turning out
good coaches, Mr. Ballard follow-

of Ripon with flames.
Parts of Rip on’s business and resi-
dential districts were destroyed and
at times it seemed that the whole
town would be consumed by the fire.
Just three hours after the horse,
like Mrs. O’Leary’s cow, had start-
ed a widespread conflagration, the
flames were brought under control.,
Virtually all of the city’s 4,00o'
population turned out to fight the
flames and their efforts were re-

oily smoke and ruins marked the

his scholastic standing as well as
his athletic achievements. -
After graduating from Mount
Pleasant High School and spending
four years in Austin College, tak-
ing his B. A. degree in the spring
of 1928, Mr. Ballard began his
coaching career. His clean manner
of living inspired his charges to
follow his example, and his teams
were noted for their clean sports-
manship and clean living.
Mr. Ballard visited in Childress
recently, calling on many of the
business men as well as the mem-
bers of the school board and high
school boys. The impression he

identifies this startling new motor
oil. This process sets a new gauge on
all motor oils with the announce-
ment that this oil really penetrates
metals surfaces in your motor, and
so provides a clinging lubrication
and combats the destructive wear
in ’'boundary lubrication.”
This characteristic is called, by
engineers,’’Penetrative Lubricity.”
The Pike’s Peak tests proved the
friction-freeing values of this

Friction resistance ability of any
motor oil is summed up in those
two words: "Film Strength ” No
reasonable person can fail to be
convinced of the advantageous
properties of this new oil now.
For, in operating performance
with three nationally-known and
popular American oils in the Pike’s
Peak tests, Germ-Processed showed
such a superiority in Film Strength
that motor wear, by micrometer
measurements, was lowered by
76,4 per cent.

The expolsion broke all windows in
a radius of two blocks of tanks whose
covers went skyward in rapid order
as the fire touched them off.
At the height of the fire, flames
shot so high that they could be

The first of the five explosions

were hurt slightly by the first ex-

By that time, the townspeople,
who had rushed from their work
