' The papers announce that "Aunt
Motile Bailey" has (jult the show busl-
none and retired to her farm near
Houston. Aunt Mollle Is 74 yeurs old
and has earned a good rest which we
hope she will find In the quiet of her
farm. 8he la known to morn people

gaged In the show business In the
South. A spy In the Confederate army
she was constantly on the move dur-
ing ber younger days and soon after
tba war she began traveling with her
show. Any ex-Confederate has alwaya
been welcomed at the doors of her
tents without money or price. Hlie
has also given much to charity and
has furnished the funds for the erec-
tion of two churches. Honey Grove

Aunt Mollle Is so. unlike most show
people that she has won the love ad-
miration snd respect of thousands of
Teians who have gone to her show
year In and year out just because it
was Aunt Mollie's show. If she has
found quiet and peace on her farm
at Houston many Texuns will heave

Aunt Mollle Is she never stretched

i With all our optimism It Is Impos-
sible to overlook some evidences of
stringent money. Take the case of
poor little Miss Helen DeWitt a New-
York heiress who Is uttendlng a mod-
est boarding school. Her niggardly
guardians allowed the poor child only
$12000 a year for pin money and she
had hard work forcing them through
the courts to increase her allowance
to a beggarly $20000 a year. But
maybe they are a bunch of old tight-
wads who begrudge a poor girl a little
spending money and their skimpy al-
lowance may not mean that they
haven't not the money. Texas City
Times. .
The above Is given by the Times
as a Joke which It would be If no one
else were concerned except Miss
Helen. But there are thousands of
other Helens In all our schools In our
cities towns and villages who set a
pace that tens of thousands of others
cannot keep up with. There are mar-
ried Helens too doing the an me thing
and In this scramble to keep up Is
where Miss Helen DeWltt's perform-
ance is anything but a Joke.
Green Harding one of our best
farmers and citizens brought to the

above marvelous yield on display for
one week after which dnto they will
