Washington Hocks says he found
it a fact that a man can change his
religion and join another church;
and can swap wives, without being
looked down upon; but the minute he
changes his politics he is branded as
a traitor to the party and a public
parasite.
Clab Hancock often wonders when
a fellow is digging a hole, how he
knows when he reaches the bottom.
When the Hog Ford Preacher
asked for somebody to take up col-

about a dozen volunteers; but as
they were too anxious, he

think
The horns of the new moon always
point away from the sun. Some ar-
tists paint a new moon into their
pictures with horns turned toward
the sun. That is carelessness. A line
connecting the tips of the two horns
of a new moon is always at a right
angle to a line from moon to sun.
Uninformed observers place great
stress upon a “wet” or “dry” moon,
not knowing that the scientists can
compute in advance the position of
the sun for any new moon, because
he is able to determine the exact posi-
tion of both as in computing- eclipses.
In spring the new moon always
“holds water,” in autumn the new
moon does not “hold water.”—Ex.
“Boss” Dickson, well known citi-
zen of Whitewright, has introduced
a new type lawn mower which is a
labor saver, does not cost much to
operate and requires very little at-
tention. Mr. Dickson has a large
lawn and his friends say he likes a
pretty lawn, but dislikes pushing a
lawn mower. He put his brains to
work to discover a way to keep his
lawn attractive without work. The
result was an automatic lawn mower
—and it works fine. All Mr. Dick-
son has to do is to water it two or
three times daily and move a stake
and drive it in the ground, so that
all parts of the lawn will be kept
uniform. The new type lawn mower
is not an expensive piece of machin-
ery, but just a four-legged sheep.
Mr. Dickson says it is working fine
and if he could find some way to
water it and move the stake without
giving it his attention he would be
satisfied with his invention. We sug-
gest that he see “Boss” Fleming who
can probably work this out for him.
Mr. Fleming is an industrious man.
He is the fellow who recently set his
hoe handle on fire while cutting
weeds. He didn’t set the handle
fire to get out of work, but ’
working so fast that the handle just
caught fire.
Brown was making a visit to a girl
who lived in the country. As they
were walking through the field, they
noticed a cow and calf rubbing noses
in bovine love. He spoke up:
“The sight of that makes me want
to do the same thing.”
“Go ahead,” she replied, “it’s fa-
ther’s cow.”
Madam Rumor has it that the
Tickville barbel’ is planning to wed
again. He has already been married
so many times the paper has about
run out of something nice to say
about him.
Poke Eazley says nobody gains
anything by walking fast, because
whenever you do, you have to sit
down and rest that much longer.
Clab Hancock is able to be up and
stir around some after a hard spell
of the flu, and has already gained
enough strength to kick the cat out
of the way when it tries to rub
against his ankles.

California Farmers in Worse Condi-

HAPPINESS MISSING IN
U. S.» SAYS LECTURER

scrap with his wife last night.”

The very curious situation as to
California grapes is interesting to
all friends of agriculture, as well as
to that group of people who are rabid
on the subject of prohibition, on one
side or the other.
Here is a case where the over-pro-
duction of a particular crop followed
a short period of very high prices,
helped along by a pretty good sell-
ing organization of the growers. Be-
- ginning around 1922, vineyards were
planted right and left in California,
the growers ignoring all warnings
that prices could only be held up if
production was not allowed to in-
crease.
What followed was just what
everybody predicted. As the new
vines came into bearing the prices of
all grapes went into a nose dive, and
they have been at unprofitable
levels ever since about 1924.
Raisin grapes have been the worst
and grape juice grapes have brought
the best prices, most of the time. No-
body has been happy.
A couple of years ago the Califor-
nians decided to try what is known
as the grape control plan, which may
be described best as a kind of pri-
vate or unofficial “McNary-Haugen”
arrangement. Without going into de-
ft tails, the growers were to turn over
I to a selling organization only enough
E of their grapes to supply the prob-
■kahle demand, thus arising prices to a
B|air figure. Out of the sales a de-
■uction or “equalization fee” was to
He taken and this money was to com-
pensate the growers for the unsold
■irt of their grapes.
^Rln a general way, the plan has been
'alfailure partly because the general
business depression curtailed the de-
mand, partly because growers them-
selves have been selling, or at least
■offering for sale, grape juice and
juice “concentrate.” The advertising
carefully avoids, saying that these
products are to be allowed to turn
into home-made wine, but, of course,
everybody knows that is the basic |
idea.
So here is a very interesting and
much mixed-up situation with nobody
concerned very happy about it. The
grape growers are sore at each oth-
er, and still have immense surpluses
of all kinds of grapes. The people
who have advanced money on grapes,
which included the federal farm
board, are worried about their loans.
The prohibitionists are worried be-
cause the Volstead act does not pro-
. vide a way to stopping the sale of
juice and the antis are nervous for
fear the government will find a new
way to stop it.
Meanwhile, the friends of farming
are disappointed because one more
attempt to control a crop surplus has
apparently gone where the woodbine
twineth.—Clarksville Times.

SAN DIEGO, Collx.—
pursue everything but happiness,”
according to Elwood Bailey, nation-
ally known lecturer and essayist,
who was a visitor here.
“Happiness is the only worthwhile
pursuit and Americans are missing
it,” he said.
“Modern civilization is out of
tune. Competition is fierce. Men
pursue gold, love, fame, achievement
and everything but the right of hap-
piness.
“To enjoy life do not try to un-
derstand it—live it. The most im-
portant rule for happiness is ‘don’t
worry whether your forefathers were
monkeys—you're not.’ ”
H. P. Donigan, owner of the White
& Donigan gin plant, has recently
had installed in the plant an auto-
matic sprinkler system at consider-
able expense. The gin plant and all
the cotton and seed houses are equip-
ped with automatic sprinklers, which
lessens the fire hazard and makes
the plant almost fire proof. A fire
starting in any of the buildings, aft-
er it reaches a certain stage, will
automatically start the sprinklers.
Heat from the fire opens the valves,
starts a pump to work and sets off
the fire siren, which gives the alarm.
All this takes place within a few sec-
onds after the fire starts and is auto-
matic.
The equipment is the latest in its
line and is being used in large man-
ufacturing plants and many of the
larger business establishments. It
not only provides fire protection to
.the owner of the plant but to custo-
mers who may have products stored
at the plant. The equipment will be
ready for service night or day dur-
ing the entire year. Mr. Donigan
says he installed the equipment be-
cause it provides him protection at
night, when employes are not at the
plant, and. for protection against
fire during the busy season of the
year, when a fire loss would
greater on account of putting
plant out of operation right at
time it was needed most.

ance Union will meet in Toronto,

Since Turkey adopted the Swiss

status, in most respects, than Amer-
icans.

utors such as mail order houses, oil companies and others, un-
der a name that does not identify, the tire manufacturer to the
public, usually because he builds his “first line” tires under
his own name. Firestone puts his name on every tire he makes.
