You know my old rule on that, don’t you?
Better be careful about the man who i’beats” you before
he proposes marriage. He will likely send you to the hos-
pital during your engagement arid to the undertaker when
you are his to love, honor and obey.
Somebody will have to marry this young man some day
and it might as well be you as anybody else. I know you love
him now and I think some day he’ll pop the question—arid
with as much butchering of his own English language, no
doubt, as the mousiest of men—but I advise you right now
to go into training as a husband-beater. I see Mars hovering

DEAREST BEE:
L got your letter this morning.
It is sweet of you to write to me,
for I surely intended to tell you
about my engagement the very
first one of all. but since I return-
ed it seems to me that I have done
nothing, but try on dresses, make
myself the recipient of bridal
showers, and, of course, 'write to

my wedding to the moat splendid

to be his wife.

' Congressman Lanham called the 1
history of Texaa a history unique.
He recounted the days at Goliad. I
at the Alamo and Nan Jacinto, as- i
serting that the history of the re-
public is replete with deeds as '
brave as the world has ever
known.
’’The Texas boy and girl have a 1
double heritage, two flags, two
histories, and their hearts should
beat a doubled measure of patri-
otic service."
"America." "The Eyee of Texas"
and "The Star-Spangled Binner’
were sung by the audience.
Frank Lindsey, bey student,
paid tribute to Texas and pre
aented the flag of Texas to the
. high school. PrincipalR. M. Park-
er presented the flag to Madeline
Baldwin, representative of rhe
senior class, who In. turn gave at
ro Dessie Strickling of the Junior
class. Later the new flag was
raised-with the American flag on

fly but they do have edible front
legs.
His is one of the few small res- —
taurants that serves frog legs. Th 1 A
Isrger restaurants place the deli-
cacy at 76 cents per set of legs,
but this man says he pays only
92.60 per dozen for frogs.
Gettheidsa? It may pay some-
body around Fort Worth to start
a frog farm.
Where do the froga come from? b
They are home-grown. You have —
noticed shallow gravel pits near ■
the Rock Island railroad. Thia is
a good froggery. There are many
amphibian haunts around tbe city,
including Lake Worth, but they
are not easily caught in deep
water.
Every night while other kids
are poring over books and maga-
sines, ssleep or at the movies, one
boy whom this man calls his "frog
boy" is wading the shallow water
and kidnaping the croakers with
a net or a nail-studded stick.
"I'm selling about five dosen
frogs a day, which means 120 or-
ders. I've paid my 'frog boy' 812
many a day.”

NOT TALKATIVE.
Dear Betty: I have a good dis-
position and my only fault ia that
I am not a good talker. I actually
get worried at myself when In the
presence of my neighbors, for they
are all big talkers. I ean't say or
do a thing but sit and hold my
hands. I feel sometimes that people
will think I am ot bright becauae
I don't take a part in the conver-
stion. I'd be so happy if I were a
good talker.—A HOUSEKEEPER.
What a happy husband you muit
have! Ths only reason I can give
for youn not being able lo talk is
that you are not fully informed
on the topics that come up. Now,
if it’s plain gossip your neighbors
do, don't worry about not being
able to add any fuel to the flame.
Whatever your neighbors are in-
terested in you can be and what-
ever you are interested in jou can
talk about. Being a good listener
and commenting occasionally
makes one fairly popular. In
another neighborhood you may be
able to talk. I imagine your neigh-
bors are peers at the art and don't
give you a chance.

7" UNIQUE HISTORY
It was necessary to wait until
the wooden soldiers and tin sol-
diers had recovered.
The Tinner Man was very busy
in his hospital. I tell you, what
with plugging up wounds with
bits of wood (or soldering them
with lead. if the wounded soldier
happened to be made of tin. in-
stead of wood? and gluing on arms
and legs and even heads. And
painting! Veu should have seen
the amount of paint he used up.
The soldiers in Bang-Bang Land
once wounded, had to go to bed
with their clothes on snd every
single one of them from General
Gold Braid down had to have a
new uniform painted on when he
