WHEN THE COW JUMPS
OVER THE MOON
That will be the day: When
donkeys sing and geese fly and
cows take to jumping over the
moon. We shall never see it,
thank God, because everything
under the sun is governed by
law.
Isn’t it foolish, then, to think
that, although the sun and the
moon and the plants and the ani-
mals have their laws, we men
and women have no laws? That
we are free to crack ourselves up
by drunkenness, or addiction to
.drugs., or impurity? Poor old
baffle Nature would have been
a pretty shabby housekeeper if
she had put the world in such a
nice order, spring following win-
ter every year, the earth turning
around the sun every 12 months,
and all the rest of it—if she had
done all that and still left man,
the most complex and highly or-
ganized of her creatures^ to
dangle and flutter with no law
at all to keep him straight?
But she has given us a law—
there is a Creator and He is to
be adored; we are to do good and
keep away from evil. We may
murder, nor commit adultery,
nor steal.
Suppose, now, that dictators
and philosophers should tell us
that times have changed; that,
MRS. CHESTER M. BRANNON
Mrs. Chester M. Brannon, nee
Ama Lee Bagget, was born

Jan. 4, 1944 at the Keidel Mem-
orial Hospital at the age of 19
years, 9 months, and 9 days.
On July 29, 1940 she was mar-
ried to Chester M. Brannon, the
surviving husband. One son,
Chester, Jr. survives, besides the

ing widow. Three children sur-
vive, Adolf, Vera, and Nora Corn-
ehl. Also two brothers, Otto and

WILLIAM L. WEIRICH
Aid
Advanced First
Class Receives
Certificates
Another class in advanced
first aid, conducted by Adolf
Kammlah, authorized instructor
of the American Red Cross, has
finished the work satisfactorily,
eight members of the class of 21
being from Blanco County where
no instructor was available.
The period of instruction last-
ed from Nov. 9, 1943 through
Nov. 24, 1943, ten hours being
given to the course.
All of the students are em-
ployees of the Texas State High-
way Department, and the classes
were held in the State Warehouse
in South Heights, Fredericksburg.
Certificates were awarded on
Dec. 30, 1943 to the following,
the eight last named being from
Blanco County: Bennie Kunz,
William Metzger, Otfried Scott,
Harry Feuge, Robert Staudt,
Walter C. Braeutigam, Max
Barth, Henry Woerner, Adolph
for instance, if one “must”, one
may get drunk or put aside one’s
wife and take up with some
blonde from down the street.
Does that make it all right?
Let’s see: try it this way. Sup-
pose a friend tells you that the
law of gravity has been repealed.
You go to the top of the Empire
State Building and step off the
side. Will you get away with it?
Your friend will look sadly at the
blob on the sidewalk and say,
“Dear me: I must have been mis-
taken.”
God’s law is changeless. Think-
ing that wrong 'is right doesn’t
make it so. You can’t get away
with violating His code. Look
what happens when you break
the natural law of gravity, and
think of what will happen if you
break that far more important
moral law!
When the cow jumps over the
moon and the dish runs away
with the spoon, then it will be
all right to get drunk, to lie and
cheat and swindle; to live with
a lineup of women, one after the
other, or all at once, like horses
hitched to your wagon. But that
day will never come—thank God!

Once a year the newboys of

Thames by a gentleman of the
neighborhood, where they could
bathe to their heart’s content.

“I say, Bill, ain’t you dirty-”
“I missed the train last year,”

rider going along the road below
the house (and never having seen
an automobile or inotorcycle be-
fore), grabbed his rifle and took
a shot at it.
His wife called out: “Did you
git the varmint, Zeke?”
“No,” he said, “I didn’t kill it.
I can still hear it growling, but
I sure made it turn that man
loose.”

Only 1 lb. 7 oz. Lost in Cooking at Low Temperature
"With wartime restrictions limiting the amount of meat available to
the family table, low temperature meat cookery of beef, pork, lamb, or
veal, which yields 15 per cent more servings on the average, is valuable
in helping the American Housewife get the maximum from her meat
allowance. These two roasts weighed exactly the same before cooking
and were cooked to the same degree of doneness. The roast cooked at
the high temperature (above) lost three pounds four ounces in cooking.
The roast cooked at low temperature (below) lost only one pound seven
ounces and provided six to eight more servings than the roast cooked at
high temperature.
Whether roasting, broiling, panbroiling, braising, or cooking in
water, it pays to cook all meat slowly at low temperatures. The advan-
tages are: 1. Less shrinkage—more servings; 2. Less fuel used;
3. Meat more uniformly cooked; 4. Meat more tender and better flav-
ored; 5. Constant watching unnecessary; 6. Spattering and burning
eliminated; 7. Easier to carve.
