The following from the Noland
County News, Sweetwater, is a fair
example of how many feel about the
way prohibition is enforced. You
may not agree with the editor of the
Noland County News, but you will
have "to give him credit for writing
what he thinks on the subject of pro-
hibition enforcement.

will be tried in Roby Monday on a

vention in Lubbock last week.

Nudism is rapidly spreading, not
only in Europe where it is already
extremely popular, but also in Amer-
ica, according to Frances and Mason
Merrill. They are a young American
couple who visited “the land of naked
men and women” on the continent
and wrote an account of their expe-
rience which will shortly be published
by Alfred A. Knopf under the title
“Among the Nudists.” The Merrills
claim that college men and women in
this country have been attracted to
the movement and that nudist clubs
The per capita cost of government

We have never held a public office
and never expect to, but we’d like to
be king of Texas about fifteen min-
utes. It would take us about that
long to reduce the membership of the
legislature fifty per cent, to reduce
the number of state offices, commis-
sions and bureaus, fifty percent, and
appoint a committee of three or five
lawyers with instructions to wipe
out fifty percent of the present
statutes. Then we’d be ready to start
home.—Clarksville Times. .

The Texas Legislature adjourned
Saturday afternoon, after being in
session 131 days, the longest regular
session in the history of the state.
And it did not complete its work and
an extra session will have to be
called by the Governor, according to
reports.

One of the big tobacco companies
recently offered a $25,000 prize for
the best expressed reason why a cer-
tain cigarette in a certain package
was preferable. The prize was won
by a milkman from nearly a million
competitors. He had never got as
far as high school. The second prize
of $10,000 was won by a woman who
graduated from a well-known' girls’
school of collegiate rank. The third
prize of $5,000 was captured by a
college professor who came out of a
great Eastern university. This is in-
teresting in that it shows how plain
intelligence may compete with schol-
arship and perhaps win the big prize.

On May 30th 'the nation will pay
tribute to the memory of the legions
of gallant heroes who laid down their
lives on many fields of battle in de-
fense of our country and flag.
Throughout the length and breadth
of the homeland, as well as in many
foreign countries, the final resting
places of the thousands who gave
their all that we might enjoy in
peace the blessings of prosperity will
be strewn with flowers.
To many the occasion will be
tinged with sadness, for the memory
of those who made the supreme sac-
rifice will be still fresh. To all of us
the occasion will be one of solemnity,
for we cannot forget that to those
whom we thus honor we owe an ever-
lasting debt that grows not less but
greater with the passage of the
years. It is a day, therefore, of na-
tion-wide communion in which every
man and woman, every youth and
maiden, may rightfully join. Those
to whom the day means the recalling
of a personal sorrow and those who
are moved alone by a spirit of rev-
erance in paying tribute to heroism
will find themselves united by a com-
mon bond of national fellowship.
It is a season for the exercise of
those deep emotions whose evidence
is silence and gravity. It is a time
when by contemplative reverence we
may come into the spiritual presence
of those legions of departed' heroes
■who fought, desperate battles in or-
der that we might live in peace. As
we pause with bowed heads to think
upon their deeds, we may see them
pass in review before us. From out
of the distant past we see them come
—the patirotic Fathers of 1776, the
“boys of sixty-one” in massed bat-
talions of blue and gray, the dashing
platoons of those who conquered the
wind-swept plains of the 70’s and
80’s, the long, blue-clad columns of
those who swept up San Juan Hill in
1898, and finally those khaki-clad
hosts who carried our standards to
victory on Flanders’ Field. As we
gather on May 30th to pay homage
and humble tribute to our heroes of
past wars, there will be no North, no
South, no East, no West, but a Na-
tion United, all sections bound to-
gether by the bonds of a common
reverence.

Editor Jim Waggoner prints a
story in his Whitewright Sun to the
effect that two Leonard ladies pur-
chased a nice bill of dry goods from
a Whitewright merchant after visit-
ing stores in Sherman. And winding
up the story, . he says: “Try your
home merchant first, and you will
spend tnore dollars at home.” Ac-
< cording to Jim’s theory, if the Leon-
ard ladies had tried their home mer-
chants they might have spent their
dollars in Leonard.—Trenton Trib-
une.
You’re correct. If the Leonard
ladies had triedj they probably could
have found what they wanted in
Leonard, and saved the expense of a
sixty-five-mile automobile trip which
would have gone a long way toward
paying for the articles purchased in
Whitewright. It pays to trade at
home. There is no economy in spend-
ing two or three dollars traveling
over the country trying to
few cents on a purchase,
people seem to get a thrill
such trips and telling their friends
that they purchased a certain article
at a certain town for twenty-three
cents and wind up by saying the

Whitewright has many things to
be thankful for, but there is no use
trying to name them all here. But
we want to mention two organiza-
tions that Whitewright should be ex-
ceedingly proud of—the Oak Hill
Cemetery Association and the City
Cemetery Association. It is through
the efforts of these organizations
that Whitewright has two of the most
beautiful and best kept cemeteries to
be found anywhere. The cemeteries
are sodded in bermuda grass and
caretakers keep the grass mowed
and look after the flowers and shrub-
bery placed in them by lot owners.
The cemeteries are so beautiful in
flowers, shrubbery and grass that
they attract the attention of stran-
gers, who never fail to compliment
Whitewright on her well kept ceme-
teries. The people of Whitewright
have become accustomed to well kept
cemeteries, and we fear they fail to

There are great openings in Holly-

item said, “The new star is a tall,

when she smiles discloses perfect

Fellow who sends all his printing
orders to a mail order house told us
the other day we ought to patronize
him because his business is a home
institution. The Clarksville Times
has been a home institution since
January 18, 1873.—Clarksville
Times.
We had a fellow to ask us to give
him a long story in The Sun about an
affair for which all the printing was
ordered from an out-of-town printer.

glorious time when they meet “birds”

This happened in a barber shop in
a little town in the northern part of
New Hampshire. The conversation
was between the principal of the lo-
cal high school and the barber.
Principal—“I believe that big wars
are often caused by the smallest
matters.”
Barber—“I know that. There are
things that a fellow thinks don’t
amount to a darn that will often pile
up a mountain of trouble for him.

was working over a crossword puz-

The biggest asset Whitewright has
is her schools. They attract the at-
tention of more people in White-
wright and section than anything
else we can mention. Almost half of
the student body of the high school
is from the rural districts of this sec-
tion. Read the names of the grad-
uating class, which has more than
thirty members this year, and you
will find that almost half of the class
are boys and girls from the rural
districts of this section. The White-
wright schools are growing more
popular with the boys and the girls
from the country each year, and they
are coming here to take advantage
of the opportunities offered them.
Whitewright is glad to have them and
hopes to see the attendance increase
as the years go by. Every boy and
girl should have at least a good high
school education, and Whitewright
high school offers it to them.

J. H. (Buttermilk Jim) Lowry, ed-
itor of the Honey Grove Signal-Citi-
zen, was the speaker at the White-
wright Rotary Club luncheon last
Friday. Members of the club have
wanted him as their speaker for sev-
eral years, and had about given up
hopes of having him until a member
of the club agreed to go after Mr.
Lowry and then take him back home.
He is an old time Denlbcii'at and has
not learned how to drive an automo-
bile and will not ride trains or busses.
After the member found this out he
proposed to Mr. Lowry that he would
see that he got to Whitewright and
back home without accident or cost
and would give him a free feed. This
porposition appealed to Mr. Lowry
and he paid Whitewright a visit and
made a speech, and all are satisfied.
We heard Mr. Lowry make a speech
a number of years ago, and we want
it understood that we did not make
two trips to Honey Grove in order to
hear him again. The guilty party had
never heard Mr. Lowry make a ,
speech. We will admit that he is
one of the best writers in Texas, but
we can’t say as much about his
speechmaking.

appreciate them and the organiza-
tions responsible for them as they
should. It is a work of love the
women of these organizations are
doing. They receive no pay for
their work. All they ask is that lot
owners pay their small dues prompt-
ly, and they will see that the work
is continued. The organizations mail
statements each year to lot owners,
employ the caretakers and look after
the work. They only ask for a small
sum from each lot owner, and when
all respond the total is sufficient to
keep the good work going.
The next time you are out driving,
make it convenient to drive by the
cemeteries, and see for yourself.
You will be convinced that the cem-
eteries are being taken care of and
you, too, will be proud of the organ-
izations that are responsible for it.

Comparative peace and luxury. No
embarrassing trials for them. But a
Texas mayor, going to a convention
with three pints of liquor, gets in-
dicted and must stand trial for a
crime that could send him to the pen-
itentiary. Out of scores of automo-
biles «<and Pullmans headed toward
Lubbock with liquor aboard last
week, the Mayor was a lone unfortu-
nate. He happened to get caught.
For his three pints—which was little
enough to take to a convention—he
stands a chance of going to prison.
A lot of bootleggers will get a huge
laugh out of the incident if the Mayor
draws a prison term. Like plenty of
other people who hold bitter con-
tempt for tfyis type of “law enforce-
ment” that gets nowhere near the
root of the evil, we sincerely hope the
jury that tries Brown will acquit him
and vote him apologies to boot.”

Sun editor went fishing Tuesday
afternoon. He is not a fisherman and
would not have gone if it had not
been that two famous fishermen en-
couraged him to go. They said they
were going to a place where bass
and channel cat were biting as fast
as one could bait his hook and throw
it back into the water, and that it
would only take about an hour to
catch all we wanted for supper. We
believed them. But no more will we
listen to-Ernest Lilley and Pig Jones.
They don’t know a thing about fish-
ing. We fished for two hours and
not a “bite” did we get. And if
there are any fish in the lake they
took us to, they were not hungry or
we did not have the’right kind of
bait. Anyway, we did not catch a
fish of any kind. Didn’t even see
one.
Another reason we accepted the
invitation to go fishing was that an-
other famous»Whitewright fisherman
was standing by when the invitation
was given. We remarked that we did
not have any fishing equipment of
any kind. Like all sportmen he
spoke up immediately and said he
would lend us his equipment. That
fixed everything. We knew it was
going to be a bad afternoon for the
fish. Uncle Horace Thompson was
the man who supplied us with equip-
ment. We were under the impres-
sion that his hooks, reels, etc., never
failed to get results. But after our
experience Tuesday we have decided
his fishing equipment lacks a whole
lot of being what he claims for it.
It was our first fishing trip in al-
most twenty years, and we think it
will be twenty more years before we
try fishing again. We like to fish,
but we want to catch one every two
or three minutes to keep interest up.
And we don’t believe that can be
done after our experience Tuesday.
It seems to, be up to the proverb
makers to explain why the early
birds, if any, never seem to catch the
cutworms.—Springfield Union.
