HOW ABOUT IT?
"Truth will not make us rich
but it will make us free.”
-Will Durant author.

"To the poor man liquor Is the
chloroform that allows him to
- endure the painful operation of
living.”
—George Bernard Shaw English
dramatist.
• • •
"The great trouble today is
that everybody is demanding his
right—all rights but no duties
! to go with them.”
—Williams Gibbs McAdoo.
• • •
! "Most of all I should like to
; be left alone for a while.”
—Former President Calvin Cool-
ldge.
• • •
“Love which builds upon re-
spect looks toward permanence;
the other kind after a while
ceases to be tolerable.”
—Bishop Francis J. McConnell.

"I am no: acquainted with any-
one who is happy.”
—Thomas A. Edison.
TO ALL cash and carry customers:
The engineer of this column
'v today feels that spring has come.
The sign that told him this was that
of homesickness. Yessir something
started rising up In us. and we be-
gan to long for Ole Arkansas. Can
you imagine that?
• • •
ONLY realized that it was spring
fever after a brief glance back
over the years showed us how
much better things have become for
us since we came to the Valley.
You see we got to thinking about
how mother used to treat all our
ills. How we used to put absolute
dependence in her. knowing that
no matter how ill we were that aw-
ful tasting medicine would cure us.
• • •
THEN next we thought how up
there. Just below’ Missouri we
used to get tile sugar for our
home-made candy.
Right out of the sugar maple tree
iter’' Began to feel awful remem-
bering it all. until wc began to re-
member how we would walk three
miles through the mud to get some
**sto bought candy.” Now let no
one laugh. There are a lot of you
readers who have done the same
thing but won't *fess up.
• • •
BUT then when we began to re-
member how hard the people
used to work not being equipp-
ed with farming implements there
like we are here things began to
change a bit. Looked outside and
everything did not look so bad. Re-
member how those mighty men used
to sweat and labor. How they would
g.unt when the plow hit a root and
the handle hit them—where they
lived. They had to be mighty men.
or they could not have lived over it
• • •
THEN we be^an to think really
how up-to-date and modern ev-
erything is in the Valley. How
they have land without 'any roots
in it and how a farmer down here
mounts a tractor and sails along
with a supercilious air. knowing that
he is up against the best thing on
earth.
■ 1 11 Q —i ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
He complains less than any far-
mer on earth.k>ut If he did not com-
plain he would not be a farmer. If
a feller doesn’t complain at all he
is satisfied and has no ambition.
And if he complains too much he
is a knocker~and there you have
It.
# • •
OUT taking it all in aU. we all talk
* K about the good old days but by
I * far and wide if we were really
^ confronted with the proposition you
couldn't pay any of of us to back to
them and live our lives over again.
So what is all the racket about
anyway?

Hoover Would Use
Engineering Tactics
WASHINGTON April 9—(JF)—
President Hoover believes his own
profession of engineering can make
a contribution to the welfare of hu-
manity which goes beyond the ben-
efits derived from its great discov-
eries and inventions.
This he says is the application
of the engineer’s trained capacity
for methodical patient unemotion-
al fact finding to the solution of
the many problems of government
that arise from the creations of the
profession.
The chief executive last night re-
ceived from the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers a special
medal in honor of his civic and hu-
manitarian achievements and de-
livered a short address.

Parent-Teacher association has its
greatest work that of educating the
parents of our Mexican boys and
girls as their homes often wield a
greater influence on their lives
than do ours. Some organizations
already have the vision and have
accepted the challenge by urging
the attendance of the Spanish
speaking mothers. Interpreters are
provided so important parts of the
program ran be -epeated to them
