An all day meeting- of the Baptist
Women's Missionary Union of Stone-
wall Association was held at Peacock
Tuesday of this week. A very inter-
esting Program was rendered. Dinner
was served by Peacock ladies. In the
business session it was agreed to have
these meetings quarterly, this bein'
the first of its kind in this association
Several topics of interest in King-
dom Building were discussed and
some plans adopted.
The time and place of the next
meeting will be announced later. All
of our women are urged to attend the

Doing His Best
An old gentleman walked up to a
small negro boy who was sitting on
the curb trying to eat an exceedingly
large watermelon, but who was not
making very much headway.
"Too much watermelon, isn't there,
Rastus?" inquired the old man.
"Nossuh, boss,"responded the small
black boy, "not enough niggah."
;reet th'is most advanced offering of
he world's largest automobile produ-
cer for 1928.
The two advance showings opened
imultaneously at noon Saturday Nov.
4th, the New York premiere taking
lace in a brilliant setting in the Wal-
lorf-Astoria Hotel and the Detroit
ebut in the Auditorium of the Gen-
ral Motors building. Both showings
ire to continue up to and including
Thursday, Nov. 29th.
Meanwhile the gigantic Chevrolet
nanufacturing organization is apply-
ing itslf to a heavy production produc-
tion program so that .cars may be
hipped to dealers starting December
15 and deliveries to the public may
begin promptly January first.
Chevrolet's * dealers are in readi-
ness to take care of a deluge of ad
vance orders.
For several days prior to the an
nouncemen,t the sales division of th<
company, under direction of R. H.
Grant, vice-president in charge of
sales, made use of evury information
medium available in preparing dealers
and salesmen for the advent of the
six. Tons of literature were mailed
from Detroit, fully descriptive nf the
new product., Lighted shadow boxes
with full color illustrations of the
new models, and slide film^ for pr<.
jection on the screen or wall of a
darkend room, proved invaluable as-
sets in disseminating the facts.
Special talking records, so timed as to
synchronize with the slide film pic-
tures and descriptions were also used
and pro- '>•! to be just another install ••
of the ingenuity the sales division ex-
emplified in getting all the facts to
its dealers and salesmen for us- di
ing this announcement period.

last week of "a six in the price range!

Lubbock, Texas, Nov. — Twenty
thousand dollars has been left to be
used as a student loan fund in Texas
Technological College, according to
the will of the late George T. Morrow,
Lubbock pioneer, who died recently
at the age of 73. His funeral war
held in the Tecli auditorium.
The loan fund is to be « h ,'.i tered
by the president of the College, the
business manager, and the registrar.
There were no other'provisions in the
will as to how the fund should be ad-
ministered. Mr. Morrow becomes,
according to President Paul W. Horn,
the first benefactor to remember the
College in his will.

Neglect of the Human Machine
You know the model of your car,
you know just what its powers are.
You treat it with a deal of care, nor
tax it more than it will bear. But as
to Self—that's different; your me-
chanism may be bent, your carbureter
gone to grass, your engine just a
rusty mass. Your wheels may wobble
and your cogs be handed over to the
dogs. And you skip and skid and slide
without a thought of things inside.
What fools, indeed, we mortals are t<
lavish care upon a car with ne'er a
bit of time to see about our own ma-
chinery !
—John Kendricks in The Blade.
It's What You Are Right Now
Never boast of the bygones,
Or glorify your past,
But battle with the present
For time is flying fast.
Leave off the old time stories,
Put your strength behind the plow,
For it isn't what you used to be—
It's what you are right now.

My neighbor is suffering froW«
betes. Will fie insulin treatment cur
her? (Mrs. if, g., Georgetown.)
Insulin is not a ^re, but a perfect
means of control, ca^fe 0f produc-
ing great improvment in",-. diabetic
patient. Insulin, while not- , cure,
can restore many diabetics to suu> a
degree of health that they may dis-
pense with its use for a short interval.
A defective or diseased panor^s,
which cannot product insulin, causes
diabetes. The treatment consists of
giving the patient insulin extracted
from the pancreas glands of cattle.
In many diabetics, the pancreas is
not really destroyed - but merely ex-
hausted from overwork, and if reliev-
ed of overstrain for a time it may re-
cover to such an extent that the in-
sulin treatment may be discontinued
at least for a time.

DO BREAST FED BABIES HAVE
BETTER CHANCE THAN /F
BOTTLED FED?
My friends declared I am too old
fashioned for words because I insist
upon nursing my baby. Am I not
right in stating that my baby is bet-
ter off on breast milk than bottled
cows milk, or any prepared canned
milk? (Annie Adams, Childress.)
It is estimated that a baby nursed
by the mother has approximately ten
times the chance to thrive and live
than a bottle fed baby has. Mothers
should by all means be encouraged to
make every effort to carry out this
most important maternal duty. Do
not forget regularly to give your baby
water to drink. Often thrist makes
them cry.
