WHEN YOUR OLD SELF IM- r,

WAY OF SUCCESS
GRANGER WILL WELCOME
INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET
Next Friday, March 26, Granger
will be called upon to entertain the
largest crowd in the history of Wil-
liamson County Interscholastic Lea-
gue. Director General A. B. Smith,
who is in close touch with the schools
of the county, is expecting a large
representation from the various
schools of the county. If weather con-
ditions are favorable, the attendance
will be large. Great preparation is
bdng made to take care of the large
number expected to be present and
Granger, as usual, will offer her old
time hospitality in entertaining the
visitors. It is quite an honor for
Granger to be given such recognition
in selecting this section of the county
for the annual meet and we feel sure
that our citizenship will see that every
visitor will be made to feel at homo
while our guests.
The County Meet is most important
and is the main work of the Inter*
scholastic League. District and State
meets may make more noise and at-
tract more attention in the papers,
but the really important work of the
Interscholastic League is done by
county committees in the county
meets. It is in these county meets
that more than one hundred thousand
children in Texas receive the inspira-
tion which comes from properly orga-
nized and conducted school competl- j
tions.
Are you prone to deny a mistake
whiclt^you have made?
Rather argue than seek to justify
yourself ?
And thereby you lose a valuable
lesson.
Often you have lost opportunities
to gain useful and important infoi
mation because you would not listen
to corrections.
In fact, you became angry if any-
one sets up to have ideas which do
not coincide with yours.
This hurts you more than it dam-
ages the other fellow.
Costly and serious mistakes have
been made by you due to the fact that
you think your own judgment is su-
perior to any other.
You might have been better forti-
fied to meet certain contingencies
which have wrecked your plans event-
ually, if you had listened to what
others could tell you.
Argument in your own favor will
not get you any where if you are too
angry and conceited to give you a
fair hearing to criticism.
Forget whose judgment is question-
ed in your anxiety to be right.—Hous-
ton Chronicle.
0. C. Pope enjoys the distinction of
carrying in stock only the best in mer-
chandise. In ladies ready-to-wear,
especially, he sells stylish garment-,
a delight to the feminine eye, but a
strain on dad's pocketbook. Not that
he has the highest price which is not
true, but that he buys for his patrons
the best from well known manufac-
turers, retailing at prices lower than
in cities, ... __
We hope that Granger will fall in
line and follow Wharton's custom oi
solving the .chicken problem. It will
end the nuisance and at the same time
be beneficial to humanity. Give *'l
strays to the preac* ess.
Many of the old tims awnings a»e
coming down or lowered which is in
keeping with modern times. They
were erected years ago und at the
time considered gr>l taste, but not
now. More property owners should
get in line.
WAKE UP!
Granger will be honored with such
a large attendance and those who are |
interested in the schools of our county !
should see that nothing is left undone j
to make the day more successful than j
previous meets. The home student j
body will do their share and it re-j
mains for everybody outside of school |
duties, to do his or her share in wel- j
coming the hundreds expected to be j
present and of making the entire pro-
gram as outlined the success that it
should be.
Georgetown continues to pave her
» streets and Granger remains in the
mud. And our county seat town will
continue to grow. Will it be possible
for our town to grow and remain in
the mud? We will leave it with you
to answer.
Most people resist wake up. They
yawn, turn over, cover up and try to
stay asleep. No matter what the
hour, they are not quite ready to
wake up. They look daggers at the
alarm clock and curse the sun for
shining in through the window.
And yet, waking up is a precious
experience. There's nothing else like
it. To come out of darkness into
light! Out of dormancy into con-
sciousness! Out of inertia into ac-
tivity!
Everybody should look forward to
waking up—not only out of sleep, but
out of ignorance, bad habits, laxiness,
discouragement and many et cetera*.
Such awakening can take place all
day long—every day.
J)on't resist it with a yawn.
Don't turn away from it. And don't
try to cover up.
Be ready for it. Be willing to
learn— to be active—to go ahead—
and to be a credit to those who care
for you.—MeClary's Wireless.

The kindergarten teacher asked one
of her young pupils what the eyes
were for, and was promptly answered
"To see with." Another was asked
what the nose was for, and the an-
swer was correctly given. Then she
asked the little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Watts, "What arc your ears
for?" The child replied, "To keep

NERVES ALL UNSTRUNG?
Granger Folks Should Find the Caoae
and Correct It
Are you all worn out? Feel tired,
nervous, half sick? Do you have a
constant backache; sharp twinges of
pain, too, with dizzy spells and annoy-
ing urinary disorders? Then there's
cause for worry and more cause to
give your weakened kidneys prompt
help. Use Doan's Pills—a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys.
Granger folks recommend Doan's
for just such troubles.
Mrs. A. S. Hall, Granger, says: "I
had to endure a dull, bearing down
pain across the small of my back and
a lameness and soreness in my back
hurt especially mornings. The mis-
erable backache awakened me and
many days I felt tired, irritable and
nervous. Headaches added to (my
trouble and my kidneys acted too of-
ten, After using a box of Doan's
Pills, 1 was rid of the attack."
