Apropos of our recent item in
which we declared that scientists dis-
agree as to whether or not hair
grows after death, a Maryland doc-
tor submits the following evidence:
“In Virginia about 1868 there was
a movement for gathering up the
widely scattered buried remains of
soldiers who had fallen in the Civil
War, and reburying them in the cem-
eteries. I was about 12 years old
and very keenly observant of the
numerous bodies brought in—many
of them in decaying boxes and cof-
fins. When some were opened I saw
—what multitudes of others clearly
saw and commented on—that the
coffins opened were literally filled
with hair and whiskers, perfectly
white, and connected with the heads-
and faces of the dead.”—Pathfinder.

‘ ‘ Lona, Star ’ ’ failed to diet . . . and as a result she was awarded a trip to
the World Fair at Chicago. “Lone Star’’ claims the title of the “World’s
Largest Cow’’. She is owned by Miss Jeanne of San Antonio Tex., weighs
2800 pounds, stands 73 inches high and measures 15 feet, nose to end of
tail. Shown above she is ridden by Miss Frances Green as she features the
animal exhibition at the fair. Her owner offers a $500 reward for proof of
a cow larger than ‘ ‘ Lone Star ’ ’.
For the next two months we are
urging that every member of our
Sunday school lend their cooperation
to the support of the program of our
church. We are to begin promptly at
10 a. m. At the ringing of the bell
every one go immediately to church
auditorium; please do not hesitate.
Let every teacher keep time and be
reAdy to dismiss at once. Just as soon
as the announcements by the super-
intendent are over preaching begins
immediately. We are going to do our
best to get through by 11:30. With
your cooperation our plans can be
carried into successful execution.
People may not be used to such a
plan, but you will find that if we can
do this folk will continue to come,
and you will like it.
Mr. Alverson gave us announce-
ment Sunday regarding this cotton
plan that we are trying to get into
successful operation, but we forgot it,
and of course that means no more
chicken for this preacher on the Al-
verson ranch until all this cotton has
been plowed up.
We were at Tom Bean Sunday
night. Had an appreciative audience
and we are looking forward to the
third Sunday in July when we will
begin a revival in that community.
Let every one in that community be-
gin to make their plans to attend ev-
ery service. Also we are to be with
the church following this meeting at
Enterprise. We are looking forward
to that meeting and urge that every
one in that community get ready, and
let’s have an old-fashioned meeting.
We have recently engaged several
of our friends in a friendly chat
about this “hydronated” water that
we are supposed to have in Texas aft-
er August 26. Regardless of how
anyone may be regarding this matter
we have no unkind words for anyone
and want every one to be our friend,
and we can advance our argument
with the best spirit, believing that we
are right, whether we convince any-
one or not. Some will say that the
minister should refrain from such
things, but on the other hand, there
is not a man in this town that would
place any confidence in any minister
who would not take a stand on the
question of morals, and at that take
the right stand.
We met a gentleman from New
Jersey the1 other day and he told us
how beer had improved the social,
moral, and economic conditions in his
state. On questioning him we found
out that he was for beer and when
we got home we read in The Dallas
News where a barrel of this so-called
3.2 blew up in his state and killed a
man. If this pure “water” as some
would call it will blow the head off
of a barrel and kill a man, what will
it do should a man get on the out-
side of about a quart. There is but
one thing that beer and whisky will
do when we get it back. Increase
the work of the doctors, undertakers,
and preachers, and most of this work
will be gratis.
We noticed where some one said
to repeal the 18th Amendment would
decrease drunkenness among our
young people. Our whisky problem is
not with our young people, but with
our “pa’s” and ma’s.” Who is it that
throws most of these wild parties and
engages in drinking? It is married
people. Is it not pitiful for fathers
and mothers to engage in such? And
as a result not only do they influence
their own children but the children of
parents who are doing their best to
rear their boys and girls right. Lis-
ten, should any one read these lines
who is guilty of such, won’t you for
the sake of your own child refrain
herefrom. Do you want your
children to drink, gamble, and] ;
their lives in frivolity? Carry
boys and girls to church. , i
next Sunday.—G. C. Ivins.
Most for Your Money
In a Good Laxative
Thedford’s BLACK-DRAUGHT has
been highly regarded for a long,
long time, but it is better appre-
ciated now than ever before. Peo-
ple are buying everything more care-
fully today. In buying Black-Draught,
they get the most for their money,
in a good, effective laxative, depend-
able for the relief of ordinary consti-
pation troubles.

tured, and our tonsils paralyzed, and
our adenoids numbered.
If our ears wanted to have a good
time we would have a meeting of a
body of church women and a body of
garden club women at one and the
same time. Of course, these ears
might not come back to us in the con-
dition they left our heads but they
would have had an experience nevei’
to be forgotten.
Three point two. We are so dog-
goned old that we can recall heaps
and heaps of things. We remember
when old folks had a demijohn for
strictly family use. Nobody paid
much attention to it—nobody got ex-
cited about it. Then the liquor peo-
ple got to advertising the brands they
were manufacturing, and a lot of
folks got to doing some real serious
drinking. The beer folks, not to be
outdone, proceeded to do consider-
able advertising of their own. Then
drinking passed from the serious to
the fanatical stage. There was dark
beer and light beer and Bock beer
and Lager beer. The world moved
on. Children were born, grew up,
got married, raised families and died
just as they are doing today.
We recall that when the Eight-
eenth Amendment—Volstead Act—
was passed, nothing else to any
great extent was discussed in parlors,
drawing rooms, hotel lobbies and
Pullman cars. Some of us got mighty
tired of hearing it because we knew
the country was not dry, that it had
never been dry and that it never
would be dry—laws, rules, regula-
tions to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Three point two.
Every day men with one foot in
the grave and the other on a banana
peeling, kind-faced old ladies with
knitting in their hands, fair-faced
flappers with rouge and lipstick,
down to little shirt-tail boys, are ask-
ing us if we have tried three point
----- The whole dad-squizzled coun-
try seems to have its mind on beer.
Certainly we have tried it. It is a
nice temperance drink. We suppose
that if a man could hold forty or
fifty bottles of it he could get slight-
ly off his balance, but we imagine it
would take a man with the stomach
capacity of a cow to get enough in
him to make him forget his telephone
number, his age, where he lives and
if he had foot trouble.
Aren’t we great hobby riders, we
American people? A postage stamp
sticks to its job until it gets some-
where. Three point two. We know
several scatter-brain guys that we
would like to see locked in a room
and made to drink a hundred bottles
of this so-called beer before they
We have gone through many pub-
lic spasms. It is not a bit hard to re-
member when “Annie Rooney” was
sung on hay rides in a wagon with-
out any springs, and this kind of a
hay ride is a good way to get the
constitutions of boys and girls real-
ly jolted.
We remember about forty to fifty-
five years ago when the women folk
wore broad brim hats and had a
dickens of a time kissing each other
when they met. It sometimes hap-
pened that when they were away
from each other ten minutes several
different kinds of clawing
started. “Kitty, kitty, kitty.”
We have a faint recollection of
hoop skirts and we have known of
home-made and store-bought bustles.
Later on came the one-step and two-
step in dancing, then the “Tango”
and the “Bunny Hug” and the “Griz-
zly Bear” and the “Wiggly Bill’ and
the “Setting Hen,” and- we have
lived through them all, minus only a
head of hair and a few teeth.
In later years we perspired through
the open season of appendixes and
then we had croquet in fashionable
circles, then came Tiddle de Winks
and Majong. From Euchre we
jumped to Bridge, then to Contract.
Poker we have had with us always.
A few moons ago people got all
het up on this gardening business.
Fifty years ago a garden meant peas
and beans, onions and radishes,
squashes and tomatoes, carrots and
parsnips, with a few rows of Eng-
lish peas. Now a garden means to
many women, and a few men, flow-
and
vines. The

The Glass-Steagall Banking Act
contains the following impoi*tant pro-
visions:
It eliminates the double liability
imposed upon national bank stock-
holders with respect to shares issued
after the date of enactment of the
act.
It creates a Federal Open Market
Committee of 12 members, represen-
tatives of the 12 districts.
It creates a Federal Deposit In-
surance Corporation to insure de-
posits of all member banks in the
Federal Reserve System, “effective
on and after July 1, 1934, unless the
President shall by proclamation fix
an earlier date.” It may insure de-
posits of all non-member banks, who
are class A stockholders of the cor-
poration, after the same date, but in-
surance for non-member banks will
expire July 1, 1936.
Treasury Department is author-
ized to subscribe $150,000,000 to
new corporation; and capital of cor-
poration is to be divided into Class
A and Class B shares, the former to
be held by member and non-member
banks and the latter by Federal Re-
serve banks.
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation is authorized to issue and
to have outstanding not more than
three times its capital.
The corporation will open on its
books a temporary federal deposit
insurance fund which shall become
operative on Jan. 1, 1934, “unless
the President shall by proclamation
fix an earlier date,” to insure de-
posits of member banks until July 1,
1934.
It empowers the Federal Reserve
Board to exercise special supervision
over all relationships and transac-
tions of any kind entered into by any
Federal Reserve bank with any for-
eign bank or banker.
It prohibits any member bank
from acting as the medium or agent
for any non-banking firm or individ-
ual in making loans on the security
of stocks, bonds and other invest-
ment securities to brokers or dealers
in stocks, bonds and other
ment securities.
It prevents member banks, direct-
ly or indirectly, paying interest on
demand deposits, with specific ex-
ceptions; and it empowers the Fed-
eral Reserve Board to limit, by regu-
lation, the rate of interest to be paid
by member banks on time deposits.
It provides that after one year
from enactment, no membei’ bank
''Sg^jll be affiliated in any manner
with any underwriter or distributor
of securities.
It permits national banks, with the
approval of the Comptroller of Cur-
rency, to operate branches within the
limits of city, town or village in
which said association is situated, if
such establishment and operation are
at the time expressly authorized to
state banks; and at any point within
the State, under certain restrictions.
It defines terms under which na-
tional banks may consolidate.
After the expiration of one year
it will be unlawful for any person or
firm engaged in underwriting or dis-
tributing securities to engage in “the
business of receiving deposits subject
to check or to repayment upon pres-
entation of a passbook, certificate of
depositor, or other evidence of debt.”

This June is not like Junes of our
olden days when we wore a two-
piece suit. Then we were interested
in straight rows and cornfield beans
with pumpkin seed planted occasion-
ally. Now we see when the sun comes
up lovely ladies in all kinds of rai-
ment at work in their gardens and
by “gardens” we mean places where
flowers are planted, tended, watered
and petted with loving care.
In our declining years we have
learned that when a lady visits an-
other lady’s garden she must exclaim
with many “ohs” and many “ahs,”
“How perfectly lovely,” “It is too
sweet for words,” “How do you make
them grow?” “They are the finest
I have ever seen,” “Where on earth
did you get those whistle-trigger
plants?” “It is all so wonderful.”
Yes, we have been through many
things. We have seen twenty-year-old
walking sticks stuck in the ground
and made grow. Not only have we
seen them grow but we have seen
them bloom out with red neckties
hanging to them, purple socks and
mesh stockings. We have had expert
gardeners tell us that they could
plant a hat rack and it would take
root, grow, blossom and bear a great

have heard names given flowers that
