She has always been ready to
warn us and everybody against
bragging as it never fails to come
back and mostly in a double dose.
Our friends from Iowa came
back in late, Monday night, and
how they managed to go so many
places and take in all they did in
the short time they had I‘m not
able to explain.
In the first place they did not
get off as soon as they planned,
stopped to get their car oiled up,
take goodby of the Jensen broth-
ers, etc, and then that long drive
to the Valley. Stayed overnight
with Mrs. M. H. Jensen and fam-
ily, visited the “tree ripe” fruit
packing plant, visited two families
(old friends from Iowa) had a
picnic supper (or dinner) with
them, a real Mexican dinner with
all its usual ingrediences. Besides,
they took in all the Valley, even
drove into Old Mexico, did some
trading there. Mrs. Jensen went
with them to show them around
and for all the souvenirs they
took time to pick up. I do not sup-
pose the men would have given the
lady time to get a good sample of
petrified wood unless grandma had
gone out with flash light and pick-
ed one out of her rock mountain
that night. I do not know if they
stopped to let her out to get a
cotton sample out of R. N.’s beau-
tiful (?) cotton field or not as
they passed on their long drive
home. I know one thing, if they
knew then what they know now
she never would have thought of
cotton. We are anxious to know
if they are home yet, or buried
in snow in some touring camp.
That was some storm and it
seems that Iowa got the worst hit.
Grandma says maybe there is
some reason in it too, ha, ha, but
she does not want to tell what she
thinks, as she thinks of the hills
above Austin and what she re-
members of Iowa, See? Anyway,
she thinks they have a good feel-
ing for Texas. They sure did like
the Valley and the citrus fruit. A
good winter resort.
That skunk head was sidetrack-
ed in the mail and came too late
for the doctor to find out whether
there was any hydrophobia or not
but Wilfred Smith was advised to
take the treatment, which he is
doing.
One thing I failed to tell Elder
Jensen took all on a trip to the

FOR SALE—7 year old mare

other individual, advanced the standard of
man’s everyday living.
Edison’s amazing list of accomplishments
was the result of his imagination, plus initia-
tive, toil and painstaking thoroughness. It is
recorded that he made experiments testing
more than 6,000 samples of bamboo fibres
before he finally developed the correct car-
bon filament which made the incandescent
electric light bulb practicable. And this is
only one of more than 1,150 of his inventions
that contribute to almost every phase of our
modern life.
Imagination, initiative, toil and painstak-
ing thoroughness are also the principal fac-
tors behind the dependable electric light and
power service you are enjoying today. More
than 2,500 Texas men and women make up
the Texas Power & Light Company organiza-
tion and aid in providing dependable, low-
cost electricity to more than 200,000 custom-
ers in a 52-county area of North, Central and
East Texas. This organization, while serving
you today, is always planning and building
for your increased electric service needs of
tomorrow.

games were played with the Jun-

iors for top honors. The Seniors
finally won out by a one point
margin; these games were super-
vised by Mrs. Paul Lundgren. Af-
ter the games ,hot chocolate and

BAND NEWS
“The Band Booster Club which
has been on an inactive status for
the past few years is now active
again and is doing a great job,”
said Mr. McCullar.
It might be well to mention
some of their services here, as
most of us have forgotten their
previous activities. They furnish
instruments and uniforms which
they rent to students for a small
fee. They also repair and keep
the instruments and uniforms in
good condition.
The band will give its first con-
cert March 21. In addition to the
concert they also have a few other
entertaining features such as “A

Mr. Marvin Jensen came in yes-
terday showing his new tractor.
It looks like he believes in going
into farming in real business way.
It looks like all the lawmakers
are able to do these days is cut-
ting. If they aim for Peace in
all this cutting they better start
at the root and cut this liquor bus-
iness. If they had cut out the
liquor traffic there would not
have been need of all these men
on the road. Sane men would not
disobey a good law, but the way
the fools drive even the sane one
has to speed up to find a place
to turn around or even get to a
place to stop and if one wants to
walk across the road one needs 3
pair of eyes and be able to run
in order to save his life. It is no
wonder that we have so many
wrecks.
Mrs. A. O. Kramer was in Elgin
Wednesday shopping, not only for
herself, but for several others. It
seems that the cars are so scarce
that it is almost impossible to get
even to Elgin without hitchhiking.
I believe this is about all the
news for this time as Grandma has
been shut in so she has not been
able to pick up any news.
They had quite a taste of the
dust in Keene. Chester Jensen
wrote that the wind blew but one
of their windows and broke the
glass to piece in their room,
but did not say what other dam-
age was done, but it must have
been some strong wind there too.

fairly fine day, but Grandma tells
me not to “brag” as she thinks
it’ll not last long and if I’d brag
it would sure come and she would
get it back on mg for laughing at
her. Maybe some of you remem-
ber what she said last week, about
not falling in the mud, tho she had
been stepping in every mud pud-
dle. That very night she went
outside to throw some slop out of
a bucket, stepped in a mud puddle,
slipped, turned over and laid flat
on her back (in what she thought
was a mud hole). We had company
so she called Mrs. R. N. to see
