(OSSIPS are blamed for the murder of a woman in the
town of Beaver City, Neb., said to have been poisoned
by a neighbor woman.
The accused woman and her husband had to move twice
because of gossips, they told officials, and the wrangling
tongues seem finally to have led to a misunderstanding that
resulted in murder.

VALE UNIVERSITY’ announces that it is sending its

educational methods in force in universities and colleges
in those regions. Among the institutions he will visit are
the University of Virginia, the University of North Caro-
lina, Tulane University, Leland Stanford University, the
University of California and the University of Washington.
It hasn’t been such a terrible long time since eastern
educators would have scoffed at the suggestion that Yale
could learn anything from colleges not in its immediate

A CHICAGO educator recently urged that school history
A textbooks place less stress on wars and military achieve-
ments in our past and more on the records of peaceful years.
He is promptly denounced by all the super-patriots, who
are so vocal between wars. The proposition was un-Ameri-
can, it was said, and would tend to diminish the patriotism
of our young.
That’s probably very true if you. think of patriotism solely
as a virtue that comes into play when the band plays the
Star Spangled Banner or the troops swing past on their
way to fight. . ,
But there is n better conception of patriotism; one that
sees it as a deep, abiding love for one’s country, a full ac-
quaintance with the heroic deeds of its founders and an
abiding desire to make it better and stronger in whatever
way may be possible.
And the Chicago educator’s plan probably would help
such an idea, instead of harming it.
It is good for us to remember the brave things done by
Americans in time of war; the gallant dash of Mad Anthony
Wayne and his men, the heroic defense of Bunker Hill, the
charge up the slopes of Lookout Mountain, the steady nerve
of the sailors at Manila Bay and the cold bravery of the’
men at Chateau Thierry. But these are not the only things
in our history that can inspire a child with pride in his
citizenship; not at all.
For the whole American story is like a mighty, romantic
epic, conceived by a dreamer of golden dreams and written
in words to stir the blood of men forever.
The story of the exploration and pioneering of the undis-
covered west in the days between the close of the Revolu-
tion and the Spanish War reads like a novel. Daniel Boone,
the man who considered himself “an instrument ordained
by God to settle the wilderness,” is a figure as romantic
and admirable as any general that ever lived. Lewis and
Clark, blazing the way to the west coast, are men for'any
nation to tell of with pride. The great gold rush of ’49
makes one proud to be an American. The sufferings and
triumphs of the covered wagon days are things' to thrill us
with the grandeur of our heritage-
Let the school child but once get a clear picture of the
growth of this nation from its infancy to full manhood; let
him see it, not as a succession of dreary intervals between
exciting wars, but as a glorious pageant of heroic figures
moving in darkness or half-light to establish ideals that
they themselves hardly understood but that they never
doubted were there; let him see that the bravery of the
pioneer on the Indiana prairie or the California upland is
just as praiseworthy as that of the soldier at Shiloh or San
Juan Hill; let him understand that what America is today
is the net result of those brave years of toil and hardship
and daring—and you never need worry about his patriot-
ism.
Patriotism is a strange and beautiful thing. Let our
history books teach it, by all means; but be sure that the
pupil gets patriotism in all its full glory and strength.

While still a youngster a sadness came into Dan's lif
that had a lasting impression. One of his neighbor friend
had gone to Allison lake for a swim, but Dan’s chores key
him from going with them; but this lad had the misfortuii
of being drowned and Dan’s heart was wrung in grief an
sadness. From 1908 until 1924 Dan Moody never wed
swimming.
He was a hard worker all is life. His father had bee
a member of the Root & Mills Merchantile when a sudde
drop in cotton to 3 cents broke the firm and Mr. Moody lol
all he had. He bought out a dairy and it was Dan’s dun
to drive the cows to and from the pasture, feed and wate
them, and to deliver the milk. The bright genial little fa
low won the love of many a housewife in those good ol
days with his smile and greeting of cheer. He always ha
some interesting news to relate. He persuaded his friend
and neighbors to buy Earkin’s goods from him, until he r

ASA youngster, Dan Moody was just a normal red-blooded
American boy. It was his delight to don his father s
clothes, strut about with his cane- to the amusement of the
boarders who shared their home. His aunt, Miss Lillian
Wester, was his first teacher in the Taylor public schools.
All through school he loved mathematics, was especially in-
terrested in geography, but even to the present day has
trouble with his spelling. He was fond of dogs, always had
a dog for a pal and silent admirer. As most small boys, he
was “scared of the dark” and preferred having his sister
accompany him when he made trips in the dark. On one
occasion when it was found necessary to send Dan to the
drug store at night, Dan is said to have whistled every step
of the way for protection and nerve stimulation.
On one occasion he heard the ravings of a neighbor
who had become intoxcated and unaccountable for his lan-
guage. Dan in fear ran to his mother to find out the rea-
son for the tirade. She drew him up in her arms and then
and there gave him his first temperance lesson that he has
never forgotten. A few years later he had pneumonia and
was passing his crisis when the nurse finding his limbs
cold and clammy, suggested a stimulant, which he refused
as soon as he detected the whiskey odar. Again she pre-
pared a toddie in milk, but again he refused to let it touch
his lips. So his mother had to prepare anoter stimulant,
for even if his life depended on it, Dan would not drink
whiskey. To the present day, he has been a total abstainer
and staunch supporter of prohibition. Before he was old
enough to vote he was stumping the county for prohibition,
when it was not so popular to be so in Williamson county.
Friends went to Dan and told him it was a political
suicide if he expected a future in an anti-prohibition strong-
hold, to be such a staunch supporter. But Dan had his own

With th® statement that most of
the true Americanism of the Unit-
ed States was In the South. Dr.
I Gus W. Dyer, professor of econo-
mics in Vanderbilt University and
student of business conditions
throughout the United States told
Austin business men at a meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce Fri-
day afternoon at 3 o’clock, that
Texas and Austin should attract
large industries if they would only
abandon socialistic ideas and offer
co-operation for industries.
This was the second talk of the
day made by Dr. Dyer, his talk be-
ing along the same line as that
made to the Wholesale Credit Men’s
association at their regular meet-
ing at the Austin hotel Friday noon.
"Too much legislation in Indus-
trial centers in the north and the
northeast is causing the moving of
industries and big business to the
south where the Americanism ideal
of freedom is prevalent,” Dr. Dyer
told Austin business men. "Social-
istic idea® have been gaining hold
in the manufacturing centers in the
north and for this reason it is dif-
ficult for rich men and factories to |
remain there. All the capitalist®
want is a square deal and if you
tell him to come Into your com-
munity he will huM it up.”
