Sermons Hit Styles
By JOHN FI.EMI8TER
*»*m» matt writ*
Styles in aln seem to change
with the pawing of time. What was
a sin yesterday ii thoroughly
wholesome today.
When I was a lad whenever a
preacher waa hard up for subject
matter for a sermon he could at*'
ways fill in with a sermon on the
u/ils of dancing.
Then, the motion picture came
along and any number of preachers
began delivering sermons on the
evil of going to see a motion pic-
ture — not just some motion pic-
tures, but any motion picture.
Perils pa the on» greatest wave
of sinfulness to hit this country
within my memory was when girls
started bobbing their hair. I heard
many a sermon pointing out that
the future of girU who bobbed
their hair was bleak iadaed and
that no nation of women with bob-
bed hair could., possibly survive.
When I was a student in Howard
Payne College the girle who lived
in the dormitory evidently weren't
v»ry trustworthy. Sure they could
have dates to ge to the shew but
they all had to go and return hi a
group with a faculty member ac
companying them. I suppose the
present generation of girls is « astonished to dioouver he had spent
little more trustworthy for, I un-
derstand, to go in a group with a
faculty member ruse uo longer ap-
plies.
Along during World War I the
evl's of the pool hall waa the sub-
ject of many a sermon and the
clamor against the pool hall grew
so loud that a law was passed out-
lawing the pool hall and it is
against the law today in Texaa to
operate a pool liall where the play-
ers have to pay for their games.
Of course there are many pool
hulls in operation today in Texas
but they actually are operating la
violation of the law. WhaiB they
are operated, however, in a ra-
sper table manner and rowdyism is
not allowed law tofbreemeat ef-
fcials generally a«a inclined to
overlook the law.
At one time howling establish-
ments were looked oa with disfavor
but the estabUriHaenta began to
dean up and whetbay by aeddent
or design they did $be one thing
that brought bowhug to such
heights of (uopoetability and popu-
larity — they gut the women in-
terested in buwttag pud ploying the
gnme.
Now, I don't bowl. It just natur-
ally looks too arash Uke Work to
me. It chews >ne up, bowevur,
when I go out to. Mayor J. Louis
Evoat* howling palace because l
feel some slight hope that poui
may sompday, like bowling, become
respectable and less sinful.
Pool ia a very fascinating game
and, to me, is the moat relaxing
sport or amusement that can bt
found. One great feature about
playing pool Is that a player can
fret a great deal of amusement and
relaxation out of it and still does
not have to work himself into a
state of exaustion.
While I like to play pool I am
not quite the pool playing fan that
a friend of mine once was. This
friend ef mine told me that as a
young man one of his jobs was to
haul his father’s cotton to town to
be ginned. Qins were crowded
places in those days, so teams to
the cotton wagons would be un-
hitched until a wagon could have
its turn at the gin.
To while away the long hours
while waiting his turn at the gin.

By MBS. FRIT) GEYR
The CarRoa School opened §ppt.
6 with a good attendance and with Mid Mrs. ('hurley Proffitt,
my friend started playing pool
and became quite good at it. At
the end of one cotton season, as
the price of cotton fell, my friend

Peanuts — Peanut harvest will
be In full swing in a very feu
days. Iq fact, a number of farmers
are hamsting at this titte, par-
ticularly in the Highland eunuaa-
ntty on early peanuts that ware
Irrigated. Mr. Bart Riathis is'Com-
bining, and Mr. R, E. House has
his dug and raked and will com-
plete harvest in a very few days.
Mr. House has an excellent erep
of peanuts, and it ia estimated
ha will make approximately 90
bushels per acre. Of course, many
fields are suffering for nrcietura;
however, most peanuts are far
enough advanced that tba yields
should ha fair. They, of course,
will be much bettor if they gut
moisture. The demonstration plots
of Starr peanut** have been visit-
ed; however, it is impossible to de-
termine at this stage how they will
compare with peanuts of the Span-
tex or Argentine variety. Mr. C. O.
Fair, of Highland reporta his Starr
about half of the money he re-
ceived for the cotton on pool play-
ing. So, he quit playing pool.
Now, years later, he declares
he wouldn’t dare touch a cue. He
candidly admits that the game is
so fascinating to him that If he-
started playing again be might
wind up spending all of hie income
on pool.
Pool ia quite a game — even if
it still ia slightly on the sinful
side from a legal standpoint. Any
governor ef Texas .who could get
a measure through the legislature
legalising peel aad making it re-
spectable probably would go down
in history as the greats** states-
man ever produced by Texas — at
least among the pool players.

Save Winter Feed — Motorists
are encouraged to help farmfer*
and Yanchers save valuable grass
by using care with matches and
cigarettes. The grass you sea
from the roads is like money in
the bank for the stockman, ag it
is his winter hay crop. For that
matter, the motorist has a big
stake in the grass, too. If he en-
joys hunting, the grass furnishes
food and cover for deer, quail and
other game birds and wildlife. For
the fishermen, the grass means
deal streams for fishing in ponds
•nd lakes, and for all grass can
moan tasty beef steaks and milk
on tha table. Also, fire damages
the soil by hmrning the organic
matter ur humus which in tura
can causa erosioa by wind or
water and take years to rebuild.
So, before you throw a lighted
cigarette from a ear, think of what
it means to you as well as the
stockman.
Treat Small Grain Early —
Treat email grata fur higher yielda
and greater profits as soon ss
possible even though seeding, time
is stfll a few weeks’ away for
many. By treating new, the farmer
oan avoid the seasonal rush and
ha sure tha arop is pretoctad
against disease.
Wlpra treating wheat, oats, bar-
ley or rye. bo sure to use a mer-
cury treatment By applying.*
mercury treatment early, the farm-
er gains the additional benefit of
“vapor action." Vapor action as-
sures that ail disease organisms on
the seed surface and inside cracks
aad crevices era killed.
As tha seed ia treated, small
amounts at the chemical are de-
posited an each aaod. Within a few
hours, orgaaic mercury oa the
seed vaporises, and tha vapors
surround tha kernels and penetrate
into the cracks. Tbs vapors later
anwdanas and become permanently
and uniformly attached tp tha
seed. They will not dust off or de-
teriorate while the seed is in stoat
age or in the drill.
Even after the treated seeds art
planted, the treatment continues
to protect the aeed from disease
organisms in the siil.
