While going after a Texas Leaguer
in the D B. CD. H. S. baseball game
Friday, Herman Jones, Eagle second
baseman, collided with Jack Rieger,
right fielder, who also was trying to
make the play, and broke his left col-
lar bone. The injury was painful, but
not serious, and the little fellow will
be on the diamond again soon.

—Too often we lose sight of quality in desire for quantity;
and in the long run it is the former that pays. Th greatest single
blessing that could come to the people of the United States, or any
other country, would be to have instilled into each individual the
determination—to have a home?—yes—but also to have a better
home.
—There are many ways to have a better home. Location of
the home, site is tile first point to be considered. Planning, and
the materials and const ruction come next in order, then the equip-
ment. But these alone do not make a home. There must also be
compassion and judgement if the home is to function properly.
—More time spent at home with the family, more kindness
and companionship, more use of the home as a meeting place for
friends,—these will adso help make the home better and increase
its influence on American life.

My good old friend the Gov-
ernor of Oklahoma was in to see
me at the theatre the other night. I
had just had humorous mention as
a candidate for that position, as
they wanted to revive the Populist
Party with me as the Standard
Bearer.
Well, the Governor showed me
what had happened to a friend of
his who had been defeated for Gov-
ernor in our state, so he discouraged
me. I won’t accuse him of doing it
purposely, but he did. His friend’p
campaign expenditures were as fol-
lows :
“I kissed 6,000 babies; helped 42
voters thrash wheat; shook hand?
with the entire State ; smoked 3,000
sacks of 'Bull' Durham; cut 22
cords of wood ; helped brand 8,000
calves; spayed 4.000 of them; was
sprinkled 8 times in Methodist
Churches: totally immersed in cold
water in muddy creek- three times
by the Baptist ; went to confession
in every Catholic Town ; paid dues
to 11 Synagogues ; charter member
of the Holy-Rollers; listened to
800 get together Kiawanis, Lions,
and Rotary speeches; bought sheet
and pillow slip in every Ku Klux
Klan in the State; and then I was
defeated.
“ ‘Bull’ Durham was my sole
satisfaction not only during, but
after election. It is the only thing
that stayed with me.”

A large crowd witnessed the beau-

Rev. F. A. Brown, pastor of the
North Side ITesbyter’an church, of
Fort Worth, delivered his address ro
the graduates. As a foreclosure, the
choir sang another selected hymn, and
the program was brought to a close
by the benediction, given by Rev. R. E.
Bell, pastor of First Baptist church.
The program was one of the most
impressive of its kind ever held in
Decatur. The graduates in their
spring frocks presented a very pleas-
ing aspect. Dr. Brown’s sermon was
one which will linger long in the minds
of those who heard it. It can not
be too highly praised. The lovely,
spring-like appearance of the church
was a sight not to be forgotten soon.

Lunch was served when they had

had the students seen such a feed since
they were at home Christmas. Every-

Ice cream was served after the regular
