The condition of our streets s
something fur every citizen to thir.i*

what's the use of worrying? live

ridicule at Texas because of Mrs.
Ferguson, and the university girl
bank robber's escapade, is; of course,
making the mistake of generalizing
front a few isolated peculiar inci-
dents and' conditions.
What the l'ost didn't know or ig-
nored was that while Dr. N'orris was
undergoing trial at Austin, several
hundred other Baptist ministers of
the State, headed by I>r. George W.
Truett, who last year was voted one
of the twenty-five greatest minis-
ters of the gospel in America, were
in the midst of an intensive ■••anipaign
to raise $(1,000,()00 to be applied on
the educational, benevolent and mis-
sionary work of the Baptists in Tex-
as. And while one little misguided
college girl who made a misstep and
committed a serious offense was giv-
en front page space in every paper
in the country, nothing is said about
the hundreds of other girls in the
university and other educational In-
stitutions of the State who are quiet-I
ly pursuing their studies, - many or
them working to earn their own sup-
port.
And suppose Texas did, in a mo-
ment of desperation, elect Mrs. Fer-
guson governor and give her the op-|
i portunity to turn loose a horde of
criminals on the State. Didn't it on J
second thought repent and elect Par
Moody?

i; , -he had -eer. fit to

tilt heels and- fan-shaped
up -ticking buckles, at the retreating
■ eps of her stern father, Don Pedro,
She had been hastily reliving the past
hour how she and Juan had talked
together in the patio, how they had
planned to elope at midnight, and
how Don Pedro had entered unan-
nounced, ordered ,1 U a n -to—leave, and
locked her in the tower without tak-
ing the slightest notice of her fitful
di-play of temper.
Now this act of ignoring her anger
was a foolish thing indeed, for when
Dolores became thoroughly angry,
nothing whatsoever kept her from
doing aSr-*W chose. However, he
simply dismissed the matter with the
closing of the last tower door, and
went calmly to escort Dona Maria to
a festivity in the village.
After this last display of temper,
Dolores removed the traces of tears
from her cheeks and retrieved her
comb and slipper. She then return-
ed to her former place at the window
and peered intently into the gathering
dusk. After a time a whispered
"Dolores" reached her ear, and there,
beneath her window, stood her lover,
Juan.
"Just a second," she called softly,
Then with little delay she picked up
a small case of her belongings and
climbed down the trellis to where
Juan waited.
I left a note like this for father,"
she said as she thrust into his hand
1 a piece of paper upon which was
written, "My hair may be black, hut
I have a red-headed temper. I'm go-
ing to marry Juan—so there!'
He laughed softly as he gathered
her into his arms and said, "I'll re-
member that, my dear, for I'd hate
awfully for you ever to be angry
: with me,"
"Oh. I don't think I could ever be
that," she murmured. Well, let'-
hope she hasn't been.

REIT RNS FROM MARKET
Mr. A. Gei'.sbaeh, Jr., was a visitor
at The News office Wednesday af r-

goods for the firm of Gersbacn-Wa 1--

To attend a school, according to
some students, is bad enough; but
wlit'i: one has literally to risk otie'-
lif'e in going (on the way) to -school,
then it becomes quite a temptation to
remain at home.
And that's just what the conditions
are at th • concrete bridge in front
of the school building, on the way to
school. Owing to the shortness of
the bridge, there is a dirt grade on
each end to reduce the slope In cross-
ing it. The, sidewalk stops at about
thirty feet on each side of the
l ridge, since it was impossible to lay
a cement walk on this grade. Con-
necting the bridge with the sidewalk
is a wooden walk.
This walk js placed right on the
outside of the grade, owing to the
narrowness, leaving a straight
precepice as it were, about eight
f£et high, with the wooden walk
running on the edge of it.
The grade has sunk a little and
the wooden walk slants outward and
downward, giving a good chance for
one to slide off, and eight feet be-
low are rocks and water.
Rather than risk the chance of
sliding off the walk, most students
walk in the middle of the grade,
which is black mud, when it. rains.
And then they take this mud that
collects on their shoes into the school
building, which somehow or other.

d/led. "Y"iing chickens and
turkeys may be raised together but
not on land where old turkeys or old
chickens have been kept foi

keys in clean houses, on clean soil,
