In the place of their self-content;
There are soOls like stars, that dwell

In a fellowless firmament •
There are pioneer souls that blaze their

Where highways never ran—
But let me live by the side of the road
And be the friend of man.

TALKING ABOUT US.
“J. H. Lowry attended meetings of
the Board of Regents of the College
of Industrial Arts at Denton and Dal-
las Monday and Tuesday. The College
of Industrial Arts is now the largest
girls school in the South, having an
enrollment of nearly 800 girls. So pop-
ular has this school grown that it is
with great difficulty that room is pro-
vided for all who wish to attend. There
is now under construction upon the
grounds the largast school builfling
in the state. At the meeting this week
a contract was let for the erection of
a very large dormitory ' building, to
cost abodt 8117,000, the same to be com-
pleted by October 1. . Our former
townsman, F. M. Bralley, is at the head
of the institution and is doing a great
work. Denton is a gerat educational
center and is enjoying a prosperity
seen in few Texas towns. The State
Normal there has an enrollment of
more than 1100.—Honey Grove Signal.
RIGID

They don’t come in by the “one or

the dozens and hundreds. And though
they don’t possess wings, they have

it with the piling up of years. He
boosts the present surroundings be-
cause he has learned that more can be
accomplished through encougagement
than through dispraise. And the wise
man treats the individual as he treats
the community: he goes about the mat-
ter of reform or improvement by first
raising up a solid foundation of present
virtues to build on. If any commu-
nity or individual were as bad as the
grumbler makes out, it would be the
most foolish thing in the world for
anybody to try to better it, just as it
the most foolish thing in the world to

ence, in approving of the moving pic-

work, have indicated that they did not
intend to permit Satan to make use of
all the modern inventions exclusively."

If the Methodists—and all other de-
nominations—had been about nineteen
hundred years earlier in invading the
fields of opportunity provided by each
changing decade they wouldn’t have lost
so much ground to recover. Pride is a
fairly good thing, but the pride that
retreats haughtily into a corner to draw
away from encroaching enemies will

SOME BACK TALK
Baptists or C. of C.
The need for dry weather being gen-
eral, we believe it would be a good idea
for the Chamber of Commerce to call
off trades trips until it can slip up on
J. Pluvius unaware or we reach the
point where rain is needed, for the
trades trippers are about the “niftiest"
little bunch of rainmakers this country
has yet seen. Four trips planned last
year were all abandoned because of
jain. Three of the four planned this
year have already been postponed on
the same cause.—Record-Chronicle.
A conlncidence—four trips here and
rain. But the cause has bean discovered.
The Corsicana Mocping News lays it at
the Baptists’ door, thus:
Principal H. M. Maudlin of the ’Fifth
street school is high mogul of the
athletics department of Navarro county
schools; he is an athlete, he is a good
man, he is wide awake, but he has one
failing which disqualifies him as a Bap-
tist and his religious belief causes such
wet weather that athletic events cannot
be held. The county meet had to be
postponed Jwo weeks ago, and the dis-
trict meet had to be postponed yester-
day. Thi district meet will be held at
Waxahachie next Saturday.
The county meet here was rained out,
and true, the director was a Baptist,
but Professor Lofland did his part and
the events postponed were under other

PLOWING.
Watch the farmer plow; he’s busy
at it now; he deftly tools his span of
mules, and whacks them with a bough.
One minute he says, “Gee!” Next min-
dte, "Hawr’ says he; the mules, they
haw,’ and strain and draw upon the
double-trea. The plow point strikes a
stone; the farmer heaves a groan; and
then his nibs surveys his ribs, to find
the broken bone. Then, finding he Is
whole, he takes a ten-foot pole, and
prods the mules, and says, “You fools,
such tricks I will not thole r The plow-
share does not scour, and he, for half
an hour, suspends the rules and lams
the mules with wondrous vim and pow-
er. To turn the furrow o’er—it is the
oldest chore; man’s tilled the earth
since Adam’s birth, and will forever-
more. And ever, as he walks, he picks
up clods and rocks, in West and East,
to pelt his beast, his horse or mule or
ox.

WHY PEOPLE LOVED HIM SO
His past while not an open book, had
bitter lessons taught; the one diploma
that he took in suffering was wrought;
in life's exacting school he'd learned
how weak a man can be; he understood
the hearts that yearned for love and
sympathy; no pious saint himself, he
knew the sorrow and the woe of oth-
ers—he had suffered, too—and Ah! we
loved him so.
He freely gave, not asking why; no
lecture throwing in; into no details
would he pry; no sermon would begin;
he sought no evils to correct; he gave
because it pleased; he injured tfo one’s
self-respect—enough, that want was
eased. His was the simple, modest
creed, “Let not your right hand know;"

appoint all the other city officials like
Marshal, Attorney, Secretary, etc., the

The movement of Russian troops into
France, with total of 250,080 expected to
be sent to the western front this spring
Is Indicative of two things: The one
certainly that Russia has more men
than it has use and supplies for on itfi
own fronts, which stretches 800 miles
from the Baltic to (he Carpathians and
the Roumanian frontier; and across the
Caucasus front of several hundred miles
more. The second possibly, that the
allies are really getting ready for. their
“spring offensive," which has be**n
threatening but never materializing for
the past two springs. Germany, Paris
reports, is rushing men from its Rus-
sian, Macedonian and Serbian fronts to
meet the French offensive about Ver-
dun. The Franco-British forces are
creeping northward toward the Greek-
Serbian frontier. The Italians are on
the Albanian-Epirus frontier. The Rus-
sians are pushing westward after the
fall of Erzerum and Trebizond. Th^re
seems little question now but that the
stupendous German assault on Verdun,
effective as it has been, has failed if
Its objective was the capture of Verdun
itself. Not only are the French taking
the offensive there, but with the Rus-
sian reserves may he expected to main- i wings' at the College of Industrial Arts,
tain the offensive still farther. There " " ' *
are signs of activity on the British
front in Flanders and Belgium and
Northern France. The Italians are
striving vigorously against the Aus-
trians in the precipitous mountains of
the boundaries. But, except in Turkey,
the^advance is everywhere apparently
by inches, and the Germans are still
occupying thousands of square miles
of enemy territory; strongly entrench-
ed, well supplied with njunitions and
apparently able to sacrifice thousands
of men even yet in offensive works.
The war has been in progress now more
than twenty months. There are ru-
mors of peace talk, and unquestionably
all the nations involved are very, very
tired of war. But there is no sign of
nel, to be very much of the same kind concession from any of them that would

their work of hauling off the sacked,
rubbish from every part of the city.
The total is expected to reach sixty to

localities, of several years, and when
the work is completed, Denton ought
to look cleaner and better than it has

Former Mayor W. L. McCormick,
whose communication appears else-
where In this issue, has the distinction
of being the on§ out of the fifteen
members of the Charter Commission
who is supporting the twenty-four
amendments to the twenty-nine sec-
tions of the charter which the coni-
mission evolved. Mr. McCormick says
he favored the three-paid commission-
er form in the beginning and that he is
for it yet. He makes no charge of in-
efficiency of any kind against
the present instrument, and except for
his individual opinion that three paid
commissioners would be better than
five unpaid, gives no particular rea-
son why the change he advocates
. jjhoukl be made. Mr. McCormick thinks;
the bond amendment is essential, but
the city has not only sold its bonds al
par and accrued interest and has a de-
mand for more, but Sidney Samuels, a
moat capable bond- and municipal-law
lawyer, says no change in that respect
Is needed and that any change might act
as a limitation—so this amendment is
certainly unnecessary and possibly
harmful. The Attorney General advised
that no change was necessary, so we
have Mr. McCormick’s opinion against
Mr. Samuels’ and the Attorney Gener-
al’s office. We may, therefore, be per-
mitted to take our choice. Mr. Mc-

The program has been completed for
the three days meeting of the Second
District, Texas Federation of Women’s
Clubs, of which Mrs. R. H. Garrison of
Denton is president, and which te to be
held in Denton this year beginning
Thursday evening, April 27, and con-
cluding Saturday at noon. Mrs. H. G.
Allen was a local member of the com-
mittee which arranged the program,
which is believed will be one of the
best ever observed, It having been with-
in the fortune of the prosras eommlt-
tee to secure a number of speakers and
singers of statewide prominer.ee for ap-
pearance during the meeting.
The meeting proper begins Thursday
evening at the North Texas State Nor-
mal college, in the auditorium. In the
afternoon preceding a meeting of the
executive board will be held at the
home of Mrs. R. H. Garrison.
Friday morning and afternoon the
meeting'will be continued in the Nor-
mal auditorium, and Friday evening the
place will be changed to the C. 1. A.
auditorium, where the Saturday morn-
ing and afternoon sessions will also be
held. Saturday afternoon the delegates
will be guests of the Federation at the
Philharmonic concert at the C. I. A.
Over one hundred delegates are expec-
ted to attend the meeting, it was stated,
and a number of visitors and members
of state committees are also expected.
It is thought that the location of the
meeting will prove an additional draw-
ing-card this year, Denton being an ed-
ucational center of state prominence.
The program for the several meet-
ings is as follows:

AS WE GROW OLDER.
As we grow older, sunny day by day,
And childish thoughts and measures put
away,
And break, so soft we know it not, the
thongs
That bind our narrow views of rights
and wrongs;
And we grow older finding one may do
A grievous thing, yet still be kind and
true,
Or fickle prove at times, yet in the main
So constant that their friendship is
one’s gain;
As we grow older, stooping not to find
Excuses, but through broadening heart
and mind
Learning our narrow judgment of a,
wrong
Than love of mankind, grows less sure
and strong— t
And we grow older tl)us, and wisdom’s
store
So cofnes within, we value friendship
more.

WASHINGTON—Japan has renewed
her objection to the new immigration

feelings.
