Cracks At The Crowd
WHAT NEWSPAPERS
After a man accumulates all
wealth he will ever need he works
hard accumulating more, so people
will call him Captain Big.
Somebody can always find a new
name for something old. They used
to call it sin, but now they call it be-
ing natural.
Our worthless nephew is obeying
the traffic rules on the road to per-
dition. He thinks it is a one way
street, so he is making no effort to
turn back.
Rich people can afford an only
child, but we poor must have a lot of
children so they will be entertain-
ment for each other.
(Paris News)
Newspapers print what their own-
ers and editors believe people want'
to read. If they did not do that,
newspapers would have very brief
lives. And news, according to the edi-
tor’s definition, is what is of impor-
tance to the people, first; and after
that what is unusual in the lives of
people, out of the ordinary in nature,
and generally some opinions of oth-
ers expressed in columns and letters
to the editors.

stickups and other crimes are pub-

Cousin Flighty’s soul is a total loss,
but we enjoy having her visit us be-
cause she has such elegant clothes,
while we are ashamed for Cousin
Grace to come because her clothes
are tacky, which of course offsets her
fine character. Right now Flighty is
planning to leave her tired husband
for the man she loves, but she has so
many elegant dresses and suits that
we are glad for neighbors to see her
enter our home. Grace, on the other
hand, who has had more children
than husbands, humiliates us by
visiting us in shabby clothes. We
give Flighty a rousing welcome, but
we sigh when Grace drops in on us.
In the next world character will be
prized above clothes, but of course
heaven will not blame us for placing
a higher value on clothes here below

blues, any of the pastels or even

white accessories.
Keep a cool head by sweeping your
hair up off your neck. For a quick
hair pickup—to get rid of dust and
perspiration—saturate a bit of cotton
with cologne, rub it up and down the
strands and follow with a thorough
brushing. Remember deodorants and
frequent baths, too.—Pathfinder.
How To Catch Fish
Fishing won’t be good in the hotter
parts of these July and August days.
The cool of evening and early morn-
ing are better in summer.
The year’s best bass fishing is past.
Bluegills are now spawning, feeding
the bass well on little fish. Bass
won’t be hungry again until this
summer’s crop of fish becomes scarce
next February to June. Of course
you can catch a few bass any month.
Bluegill fishing is best on the
spawning beds. Enough large blue-
gills concentrate around and on the
beds to give you a nice string of fish
in a short while. Use number 12
hooks; they are small enough to slip
into a bluegill’s mouth with the bait.
Fish with the baited hook on the bot-
tom of the pond. Use a very small
sinker on the line 2 or 3 inches from
the hook. Worms, crickets, grasshop-
pers, and roaches are-good bait. If
bluegills don’t bite.at one location in
5 or 10 minutes, move until you find
them. Remember where you catch
strings of fish quickly. Return to
those places when you fish again; a
new supply of bluegills will probably
be there spawning. The beds are
usually in 2 or 3 feet of water but
may be anywhere from 6 inches to 6
feet deep.—Verne Davison writing in
The Progressive Farmer.
Let’s reward Paul McCarroll, a re-
turned combat soldier, by electing
him Chief Justice of the Court of
Civil Appeals. The Dallas Bar has
already voted him to be “The Best
Qualified” of those running for that
judgeship. Let’s give him a
big majority. (Pol. Advt.)

lished; why stories of the churches
and schools are given a place; why
actions and words of lawmaking-
body members are revealed in print;
and why sports and society stories
fill such a large part of the successful
newspapers.
The unusual is emphasized, just as
a fisherman brags about the big fish
he caught or the bigger one that got
away. That is why stories of price
increases always tell of the greatest
markups, instead of giving space to
the many others that do not rise or
that rise slightly. It would not be
news to say that meat was selling at
the same price as ten years ago un-
less prices of everything else had
soared. In that case meat would
have a unique remarking. So, when
meat goes up far above almost every-
thing else that also is worth noting.
The trouble is that when people
read of these unusual price advances
they seem to think that everything
else is gone skyhigh and they make
a noise. One tenant charged an un-
conscionable rent by a grasping land-
lord will make more noise than half
a hundred who have been given a
slight advance or no advance, and so

As a contrast to stories of fisher-
men who steal fishing tackle when
left unguarded at Lake Texoma and
below the dam, John Norris tells one
about an honest sportsman. John
and his party had been fishing below
the dam and when they loaded up to
come home, John placed his outboard
motor in what he thought was the
pickup truck they used. The pick-
up, however, belonged to an Okla-
homa man, and he pulled out just
ahead of them and headed toward
home. When he discovered the motor
in his pickup, he realized what had
happened, turned around and over-
took Mr. Norris between the dam and
Denison and returned his motor to
him The latter hadn’t missed the
motor.

looking for a free ride to prosperity
on the efforts of the citizen, who is
responsible for the very presence of
his business clientele.
A citizen, in the broadest sense of
the term, is a resident plus.
He pays his taxes because he’s for
it. He makes his church and civic
contributions himself—in person —
because he recognizes the necessity of
so doing, and, too, he feels that con-
tributions to his church, the Red
Cross, the Boy Scouts, his Chamber
of Commerce or other activity, is an
investment in his community which
brings a liberal return; consequently
his investment is liberal.
He realizes that communities are
made of folks and he welcomes oth-
ers.
He is a tradesman and he
nizes his fair share in any and all
community activities. Being a
tradesman, he recognizes the fair re-
turn on his investment in civic af-
fairs. He joins his fellow citizens in
efforts to see his community grow in
order that he may have more custo-
mers and friends. He is shrewd—he
includes in his budget religious and
civic institutions to support, knowing
such contributions to be deductible
from income tax payments, whicn
gives him a satisfactory conscious-
ness of having done the greatest
amount of good at the least possible
cost.
It is profitable to support your
ligious and civic institutions.

Manager, Uvalde Chamber of
Commerce
A resident is one who resides in a
community. A resident claims citi-
zenship primarily because he' is a
resident. His greatest claim to citi-
zenship is the fact that he pays taxes.
He pays taxes because he must. His
church contributions (Red Cross and
other civic donations, are made by his. part-time occupation,

enough cash out of him” to meet, all

When the mercury zooms to 95,
when heat waves zigzag up from the
pavement, when curls string out into
wisps and noses shine, the greatest
compliment one can get is “Don’t you
look cool!”
But it takes planning to rate that
comment. So lay down your fan, put
aside your iced lemonade and listen
to Grace Palmer, YWCA national
health secretary. You shouldn’t have
iced lemonade anyway—it should be
merely cool, she says. And porch-
fanning should be, at best, only a

tennis, don’t stop when the mercury
climbs. Keep up your golf, hiking,
bicycle riding, but exercise in shorter

rest periods.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y.—The pon-
derous elephant walks more lightly
than the stealthy tiger.
This is what a General Electric vi-
bration meter showed recently when
a circus visited this city. The vi-
brator was placed on the ground
within a few feet of the path along
which the animals trod in a special
test.
Of those tested, only an eight-foot
python traveled more lightly than
the padded-foot elephant. Lion, hip-
po, tiger, polar bear, llama and gi-
raffe, all were heavier on their feet.
The instrument, incidentally, was not
designed for this purpose; it is a de-
vice to measure accurately vibration
in rotating machinery.
