son ate coming in beyopd expecta-
tions. County Judge Gerald C. Fahey,
chairman of the exhibit committee,
declared today.
"Self-denial is the basis of all
civilisation”, Dr. 8. D. Coleman said
today st the Kiwanis luncheon. "There
is very little cause for the present
world conflict, and greed has brought
the foreign situation on the world.
Poland herself has never practiced
self denial," the doctor said.
"Self-denial is closely connected
with religion. Yon must have vision.
It was self-denial on the part of the
Lord when he allowed his only son,
Jesus Christ, to be crucified,” the
speaker said. •
He brought out many Interesting
points In regard to self-denial, urging
its teaching in the rearing of chil-
dren.

One of the most enthusiastic recrea
tlon groups iu the city of Navasota is
the Billy-Goat Club. At least they
are called this for lack of a more
appropriate term.
Prominent cattlemen over Grimes
County compose the membership of
the organisation. Their stock and
trade consists of a small
herd of short haired goats which ap-
parently have nothing else to live for
in life other than to be roped by the
cattlemen belonging to (the club.
While other people are playing tennis,
football, golf, and other sport activi-
ties, these lads of the lariat meet in
the north end of the city on a well-
fenced long vacant lot where they
engage in competitive goat roping
mounted on the best cow ponies to
be had locally. A pen on the upper
side of the field to which a trap gate
has been arranged serves as a lib-,
era ting device while each cow roan ^gng^rtatton <o place of assignment.
