"Say it With Slogans" and
Win an Election—Maybe!
A Maryland woman haa writ-
ten a slogan for the Presidential
campaign of 1928. Will it help
the Democrats win?
Maybel You never can tell,for
past history shows that a good
slogan has put more than one
President into the White House,
and today Americans are more
"slogan-conscious" than ever be-
fore.
If you don't remember what
the winning slogans of past
campaigns were and what this
newest candidate for campaign-
winning honors is, there's an ar-
ticle in this issue that will tell
you. It's headed "Say it With
Slogans," and it's written by
Elmo Scott Watson, whose ar-
tides are regular features of this
paper. Be sure to read it!
South Lags in Milk
Consumption.
The consumption of milk in
the country allows a continued
increase. In 1920, the consump-
tion per person whs 55 3Jgallons
as noiupnreil to 54 ?5 gallons iuv
1 '*"23 and 43 gallons in 1920
This report hy the United States
Department shows that the daily
consumption of milk and cream
per person on farms in 1920 was
1.47 pints, while in cities the
consumption was 967 pints per
person.
The bad part about this milk
consumption proposition is that
our people, here id the South,
consume a smallet amount of
milk than anywhere else in the
country. In the Central States,
the average person consumes
1.0389 pints of milk per day,
while in the South, our people
are consuming on an average
per person only 0115 pints of
milk per day, Furihern o're,our
Southern people consumed a
slightly smaller amount of milk
per person in 1920 than in 1925.
Thi is a very deplorable state
of affairs, because milk is prob-
ably the best food. The South
needs to produce and consume
more milk, not only because a
heavier milk consumption means
a healthier people, hut because
it will give the better balance to
our agriculture that is so badly
'needed, and in so doing, ulake
us a more prosperous people.—
The Progressive Partner.
Texas has one of the greatest
ennvons in the U. S. It is the
Sr.. Helena Canyon, also called
the Grand Canyon of the Rio
Grande, located near the south-
ern tip of the Big Bend in Brew
ster county Here the Rio
Grande cats through the moun-
tains forming a gorge 1,800 feet
deep. Its walls the almost ver-
tide and it is very uafrow. The
exit of the river from the cleft
the face of the steep mountain
side is one of the most marvel-
ous eights iu the natural scenery
of the United Ltetes.

The sting of
the hornet is a
little thing, but
it has been
known to lift
200 pounds of
meat two feet
in one second.
That's concentra-
tion.
Men may be vain
and all that, but
Pete says at leust
they haven't taken
to shaving on the
street.
"They call her Teddy,"because
"She's just a slip of a girl."
Your merits unsaid
Show the more for all that;
If you have a swelled head
Keep it uuder your hat.
Irate voice; My phone has
ruug three times and there's
been nobody on the wire.
Operator; Sorry, but w^'re
playing cribbage and pegging
the sc<>re on the switchboard.
The cost of election has risen
to such a figure that it is hardly
appropriate to speak of an office
as a "gift" of the people.
A lot of time seems to bo
wasted in trying to save many j
who are not lost and many more j
who are not worth saving.
THE MAN WHO WINS.
The man who wins is the man
who acts,
Who builds on a basis of solid
facts;
Who doesn't sit down to mope
and dream,
Who pumps ahead with the force
of a stream;
WhoTiasu't the time to fuss and
fret,
But gets there every time—you
bet.
A Linden lady told us the oth-
er day that she used to sit up
until one o'clock in the morning
wondering if her sweetheart
would ever go home. Now she
declares that she sits up until
one o'clock every night wonder-
ing if he will ever come home.
"Is your wife still at home?"
a gentleman we know was asked
by a friend. "Not much," he re-
torted, "she is louder there than
any Where else."
Jones bad a cow and it sat on
a railroad track, and the train
came along and cut its tail
smack off. Jones tried to sell it
to tbo butcher, but he wouldn't
buy it because he couldn't retail
it.
A suggestion for some people
who appear to be of no earthly
good: Try the air service.
Too many rounds of pleasure
weaken tbe ladder of success.
John says a lot more people
would take a friendly interest iu
you if you made a noise like a
roll of greenbacks.
While a woman will wear a
golf outfit when she can't play
aud a swimming suit when she
can't swim, Uncle Bud warns
that when she puts on a wedding
gowu she means business.
Frequently the fellow who
takes the leading part in the
theatre is the usher.
Ho, hum I Ws>u work for years
to get a reputationj then people
get used to you and lose interest;
then you die aud nobody notices.
A womah would rathor be
beautiful that brilliant; a man
would rather be rich than either.

"The driving force that maked
either peace or war is engendered
where the young are taught.
The teacher, Whether mother;
priest, or schooltnaster, is tbe
real maker of history; rulersj
statesmen, and soldiers do but
work out the possibilities of co-
operation or conflict the teache?
creates . ; . the politicians,
and masses of our time dance on
the wires of their early educa-
tion."-H. G. Wells.
More money is spent for auto-
mobiles iu the United States
each year than is paid for all
farm crops produced. More than
.twice as much money is spent
for automobiles than is spent on
the nation's much heralded build-
ing program. The automobile
bill, for new cars purchased, for
every man, woman and child in
the United States is $117 yearly.
Along with the operation of
the automobiles cotoes tbe ne-
cessitv for good roads, and §1,-
000,000,000 a year is being
spent for that purpose.
Old-tiuie economists would
have said the nation wquld go
bankrupt in the face of such ex-
penditures; but the nation is Dot
bankrupt, and the increase of
wealth outside the automobile
fit-Id has been more rapid than it
Quite a crowd met Sunday was before the coming of the an-
moruing and reorganized Sun-

Eugenia Carroll Friday after-
noon.

"Shortie."
There is au ancient legend
which tells us that when a man
first achieved a most notable
deed he wished to explain t,o his
tribe what he had done. As
soon as be began to speak, how
ever, he Was smitten with dumb-
ness, he lacked words, and sat
down. Then there arose—ac-
cording to the story-^-a master-
less man, one who had taken no
part iu the action of his fellow,
who had no special virtues, but
afllicted—that is the phrase—
with the magic of the necessary
words. He saw, he told, he de-
scribed tbe merits of the notable
deed in such a fushiou, we are
assured, that the words "became
alive aud walked up and down
in the hearts of all his hearers"
Thereupon, the trihe seeing that
the words were certainly alive,
and fearing Inst the man with
the word9 would band down un-
true tales about them to their
children, they took and killed
him. But later they saw that
the magic was iu the words, not
ia the mao.—Kipling.
iomobile — Houston Chronicle.
Most homes are now cleaner
and more attractive, with meals
better planned and the house-
hold better ordered, tban at any
earlier time. In general, parents
take better care of their children,
physically, mentally and moral-
ly, than ever before. They show
their love in more ways and
more intelligently. To say that
commonly our homes are with-
out. religion, without filial obe-
dience, without high ideals of
belief and behavior, is to speak
beyond the evidence. To say
that the great body of children
today do not love, honor and
obey parents, that they are un-
patriotic, undutiful and irres-
ponsible beyond the condition
which is natural for children and
beyond the condition which was
made manifest by their parents
aud grandparents, is again to
speak beyond tbe evidence.—
Ernest VV. Butterfield, Commis-
sioner of Education, New Ham-
shire.
DOGGONE!
The city mun went to the
country to do a bit of hunting.
A country acquaintance pro-
vided the dogs to accompany the
hunter. Tbe hunter sallied
forth only to return iu about an
hour.
Well, why are you back so
soon? quetied the farmer.
"I'm after more dog9."
"More dogs! Those were good
dogs I gave you."
"I know, but I've shot all
those dogs already."—Micbigaor
Gargoyle.
