Wev-t Texas, pther parts of the coun-
try have had presidents of the United
States, inventors of wide renown and
visiting queens and princes stop in
their cities, but West Texas people
have never before had an opportun-
ity, unless they traveled far from
home, to see any person whqse name
ha:; been carried around the globe on
account of some unusual act or con- this week.
1 section, but now West Texas has come
into her own. Col. Chas. A. Lind-
bergh, the youth whose intrepid cros-
sing of the Atlantic Ocean in a frail
aii-ship brought him international no-
tice and acclaim and place in the ca-
talog with Columbus, Madgellan and
the other fearless men who have dar-
ed the unknown and come out success
ful, is to pay West Texas a visit.
According to the tenative schedule
announced for the tour of Col. Lind-
bergh over the United States on which
76 of the outstanding centers of the
nation wilt he visited, West Texas will
have an opportunity on Monday, Sept
ember 26 of seeing the "flyin' fool."
On that day "Lindy" will, while en-
route from El Paso to Fort Worth,
make a landing at Kinsolving Field,
Abilene, and remain for at least an
hour. This will be the only scheduled
stop between El Paso and Foil Worth.
Plans for reception of the world re-
nowned aviator on his visit to Abilene
are being worked out by the aeronau-
tics committee of the Chamber of Con
merce.
Indications are that the largest
number of people ever together in any
West Texas city will be in Abilene to
honor Lindbergh and to- satisfy their
desire to say they "laid eyes" on the
man and machine whose exploits fill-
£<i newspaper front pages for days
and days while other events which
would ordinarily have commanded the
lead positions were relegated to plac
es ol' minor importance.
A program which will allow every
person in Abilene on that day to see
"Lindy" and his ship is being worked
out
Abilene will care for all comers,

letter accompanying the gift, whlcn
came from the Texas Technological
College at Lubbock, states that the
entire v.ork is produced by students
of the college, none of whom have
been studying textile engineering for
a longer period than two years.
In speaking of the training of the
young people of Texas for usefulness
along these lines Col. F. O. Thomp oji,
a member of the board of regents of
the Texas Technological College i>
cently stated in an address that the
purpose, of the engineering school in j

who, upon their graduation could earn j

A Irue copy of the Original Notice

Life is a current that gently, grad-
ually carries us upward and forward.
How we know not. When we know
not. It begins somewhat buoyantly
then patiently settles down to a re-
lentless, ceaseless perpetual grind.
It is the common lot of man to ride
along on the stream of life, steering
as best he can, realizing the odds are
against him in many ways. As he is
ignorant of the "How" and the
"Where" of the stream, so he is not
convinced of the "Why" of it.
It has been aid that the chief end
of man is to glorify God and enjoy
Him for ever, hut this lends us little
knowledge of the stream of life.
As Dr. Johnson put it, "We are all
like refugees on a rock." We can
chatter and reeale ourselves, hut we
know a few solemn facts.
It is a stream of whose source we
know nothing and we hope it is with-
out end that it flows on and on.
We explore this stream, hut report
no discoveries to our fellow journey
men.
Some one has spid "One would
think it worse than it is to know that
life is slipping away from us, a tick
at a time. There conies a time when
one feels that, if he has not seen the
whole show, he has seen enough
reconcile hini to die." He
There was a party given to the
young folks Saturday night by Mr.

Keep the chewing apparatus clean, j
Hrush it morning and night.
Give your human car plenty of
water to prevent a dry radiator.
Visit expert mechanics regularly
(the doctor once a year and the den-
tist at least twice a year). They can
help you overhaul your machine and
discover a little knock in the engh e
before you ever hear it.
Put ;i self-starter on your flesh-anil
blood vehicle. That is, remember the
main facts about putting pep in your
motor every day.
By these rules Miss Coon supplies
for expert drivers and owners of cars,
anyone can take out a license for the
most beautiful custom-built chariot
or any of the most elaborate sport
models with power and speed. The
"time-payments" are easily met, and
years of constant wear will keep the
old machine "just as good as the day
it was taken out." —Exchange.
