GIVE THE TREES A CHANCE
Spring has came again and all
the flowers and trees are blooming
forth and the busy bees are busy—
and so is Mr. Cambron, that is—he’s
busy, not blooming.
Ever since anyone can remember,
Mr. Cambron has been caretaker of
the “campus.” And the results of
his labors are plain to be seen. Trees,
flowers, apd shrubbery have turned
the front of the building into a spot
of beauty instead of a barren place
as it used to be.
Mr. Cambron, or “Roger”, as he is
known to most of us, has worked
hard trying to beautify the grounds
—if you don’t believe it, get out
there in the sun with a shovel and
hoe and try it. Most of the trees
are doing well and the flowers and
shrubbery continue to grow.
But those trees are having a hard
time living through all the hard
knocks they get. Maybe there is
nothing intentional about it and may-
be accidents do happen, but there
are a lot of limbs missing and a lot
of cut places on all of the trees.
If you want to cut your initials on
something, get a piece of lumber—it
doesn’t (*ost much. And if you want
to lean on something, get a prop.
Don’t pick on someone smaller than
yourself; wait till the trees get
grown and then maybe they can live
over all the abuse.
I WILL
MONEY SHOULD BE SPENT
WISELY
Perhaps some of us, whom we all
admire, work for the money they
spend for pleasure and little personal
necessities, others probably have al-
lowances, while still more ask “Dad”
for their pin money and very nearly
all of us keep what change we are not
asked for after the purchase of some
article for the family. No matter
how we acquire our spending money
the majority of us spend it the same
way and for broadly speaking the
same things and usually waste a great
deal. Let us save those nickels we
spend for candy every afternoon un-
til we have enough to go to the show
which we enjoy a great deal more
than chewing gum and getting
caught by those very wise teachers.
Let our moral be “Get the most of
fun you can if the money is to be
spent practically.”
Right now let us start saving those
“Would be wasted coins” in order to
be financially fit to be able to pur-
phase La Pitahaya.
Do you wish you were very young
again? You know it seems we all
are very old and settled in ideas; for
when some very youthful Fish were
found skating around the plaza
Thursday evening many seemed very
shocked, Oh, Yes! However, last
year some of our very sophisticated
honorable senior dressed in overalls
and aprons when a similar attack of
second childhood burst upon them.—
Laredo High School Journal.
I will start anew this morning with
a higher, fairer creed;
I will cease to stand complaining of
my ruthless neighbor’s greed;
I will cease to sit repining while my
duty’s call is clear;
I will waste no moment whining, and
my heart shall know no fear;
I will look sometime about me for the
things that merit praise
I will search for hidden beauties that
elude the grumbler’s gaze;
I will try to find contentment in the
paths that I must tread;
I will cease to have resentment when
another moves ahead;
I will not be swayed by envy when
my rival’s strength is shown;
I will not deny his merit, but I’ll
strive to prove my own;
I will try to see the beauty spread be-
fore me, rain or shine—
I will cease to preach your duty and
be more concerned with mine.
—T. C. C. Achievers.
HARD TO PLEASE
Three women died and finally ap-
peared before the Pearly Gates. To
the first one Saint Peter asked:
“Where are you from?”
“Kansas,” was the reply.
“Fine,” said Saint Peter. “Go right
in.” Then turning to the second one,
he inquired “And where are you
from?”
“Colorado.”
“All right—go in.”
“And where are you from,” he
repeated to the third one.
“California.”
“Well,” said Saint Peter, slowly,
go in and look around, but I know
you won’t like it.”—Ex.
BEAUTIFICATION
WE’RE all for garbage cans
With fancy orange stripes
And papers on the campus
Cause us awful gripes.
We sing a. song of praise
For campus beautification
They tell us all that cleanliness
Is splendid foi'tification.
Gold fish in a fountain
That swim around about
Make us raise our voices
In a joyful shout.
Beauty, Beauty, Beauty
Our voices we uprise
To get ourselves tied up
In the knot that beauty ties.
But before they clean the campus
They should take all homely
janes
And take ’em down to Becks’ lake
And feed ’em to the cranes.
—The Daily Texan.

been saved to shippers during the
last several years, not only in the
saving of commodities that were for-
merly wasted, but in time saved, and
also—of greater economic import-
ance than both—in capital released
for other uses,” according to C. W-
Banta, vice-president of the Bank of
America.
“The railroads of the United
States are today providing the coun-
try with the best transportation ser-
vice ever provided in the world.
Freight trains today are running on
what were recently express schedules
and are departing and arriving on
time. In the old sense of the word,
there has been no car shortage dur-
ing the last several years.
“I ask, what has been the cumu-
lative effects of faster freight ser-
vice, faster commodity turnover, less
raw material in inventories, less in-
ventories of finished product, less
money borrowed to carry them, less
interest paid, quicker receipt of ac-
counts payable and more prompt re-
ceipts from accounts receivable?
“The answer: More profits; more
dividends; and more funds released
from the great wheel of commercial
dollars which heretofore have been
necessary to keep commerce moving,
to make and transport the comforts,
conveniences and necessities of civili-
zation.”—Ex.
CLOSING THE DOORS
BE THE BEST OF WHATEVER
YOU ARE
I have closed the door on doubt,
I will go by what light I can find
And hold up my hands and reach
them out,
To the glimmer of God in the dark
and call,
“I am Thine, though I grope and
stumble and fall
I serve, and Thy service is kind.”
He has lived with me far too long.
If he were to break forth and reap-
pear,
I would lift my eyes and look at the
sky,
And sing aloud and run lightly by,
He will never follow a song.
I have closed the door on Gloom
His house has too narrow a view
I must seek for my soul a wider
room,
With windows to open and let in the
sun,
And radiant lamps when the day is
done,
And the breeze of the world blowing
through.
—Irene Petit McKeehan.
Miss Agnes Tramel has returned to
Denton to resume her work in C. I.
A. after a week-end visit with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Z. F. Tramel,
on North Davis street.
If you can’t be the pine on top of the
hill,
Be a shrub in the valley—but be
The best little shrub by the side of a
hill;
Be a bush if you can’t be a tree.
If you can’t be a bush, be a bit of the
grass,
And some highway some happier
make;
If you can’t be a muskie then just be
a bass—
But the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can’t all be captains, we’ve got toj
be crew,
There’s something for all of us
here.
There’s big work to do and there’s
lesser to do,
And the task we must do is the
near.
If you can’t be a highway then just
be a trail,
If you can’t be the sun be a star;
It isn’t by size that we win otf fail—
Be the best of whatever you area
—Exchange.
