vegetables into the hog trough:
when a college professor happened j

“Don’t you know,” said the scien-
tist, “that if you cooked those vege-
tables, the hogs could digest them
in half the time?”
“What’s that?” replied the farm-
er, momentarily interested. Then
after taking- time to consider the

he added: “Suppose they could!

A girl of 12, her eyes covered with
a bandage, was being led about

crutches.
“She is not really blind,” said
the teacher. ‘This is only her blind
day, as it is the other child’s lame
day.’

child has a blind day, during

America and Europe
Six members of Theta Sigma Phi are editing to-
day’s issue of the Ennis Daily News. Only in America is
it possible for women to issue a newspaper with the aid of
men only in the mechanical departments. Only in Amer-
ica do women have the privilege of competing almost on
equal ground with men.
With destruction spreading through the world like an
epidemic, the peace of America is threatened. If Ger-
many defeats the Allies, America will be next. The wo-
men of America can do much to keep the United States
out of war. They can teach their sons that war is not
glorious, but greedy and vicious.
If German mothers had refused to allow their sons
to go to Hitler’s training camps, where they learned hat-
red and malice toward Christian ideals and institutions,
German youth would not now be the pawns in Hitler’s
bloody game of greed.
American women should band together in a common
cause and with a common aim—to keep America out of
war.

Homemakers9 Market for Ennis
in its effort to make Ennis the center of activities1 ini
this part of Ellis County, the local Chamber of Commerce
might wisely consider thle advisability of establishing a.
market here where the farm women of the area could sell
some of their surplus products.
Rural women are increasing their efforts to supple-
ment the farm income, according to the Texas A. & M.
College Extension Service, and many cities of the state
are assisting them by making it easy for them to dispose
of their, canned goods, etc. Already Texas Farm Home-
makers’ Markets have been established at San Antonio,
Lockhart, Jacksonville, Dallas, Nacogdoches, Amarillo, Ty-
ler, Abilene, Livingston, Fort Worth,, Belton, Sweetwater,
Cleburne, and several other towns.
Products sold by the farm women include home-
ground corn meal, cranberry sauce, fresh vegetables, can-
ned mincemeat, sweet cucumber pickles, home-baked
bread, cakes and many other appetizing things.
Ellis County is proud of the ability and achievements
of farm women, and a Homemakers’ Market would be a
definite manner for Ennis to show this appreciation.

Woman’s Building Needed
A fine asset for Waxahachie is Davis Hall, known as
the Ellis County Woman’s building, but this beautiful
Structure is of little benefit to the women of the Ennis
community who seldom are in Waxahachie. Instead of
being a county asset, it is more of a city benefit as its
service is confined largely to the women who live within
a few miles of the county seat.
" Although such a pretentious building is not needed
by Ennis, this city does need a place where the women of
the community can gather. When women of Crisp, Alma,
Telico, Bethel, Garrett, and other enterprising commun-
ities of this section visit in Ennis, there should be a place
for them to use as their headquarters.
The city of Ennis is not in a position to ercet such a
building and it is doubtful if money for it construction
could be raised in a public campaign, but there are in En-
nis several families who could build such a structure as a
memorial for their departed loved ones. Such a building
s this could also house the Ennis library and thereby be-
come a real community center. Already the city owns
land that would prove an ideal location for such a center.
More and more men and women of wealth are con-
centrating their philanthropies in their immediate terri-
lories instead of making gifts to far-off institutions.
Such a spirit in Ennis will mean much to the advance-
ment of this community.
--------o-------
Have Interests Changed?
Have modern inventions changed the interests of wo-
men of Ennis or are the housewives of this day and city
fundamentally interested in the same things that appeal-
ed to their mothers and grandmothers?
Some local residents might contend that the automo-
bile, hridge, country clubs, and other modern innovations
have caused the typical Ennis woman of today to enjoy
the new-found freedom give/ her by time-saving devices
in ways that would not have appealed to her forebears.
Such contentions are likely false, however, for under-
neath the superficial interests of some Ennis women are
hearts of gold, and in any crisis these individuals will
show the same pioneer spirit that was largely responsi-
ble for the building of this city.
When one authority was asked about the interests of
women, he replied that they were concerned with married
life; beauty in all forms; protection, security, and stabil-
ity; emotional outlets'; individual achievements; and the
ambition to retain the appearance, manners, and perqui-
sites of youth, and youthful companionship.
