BIRTHDAY PARTY
A crowd of little girls gathered at

ey Saturday morning and spent the

ernoon declaring the day was too
short.
BIRTHDAY PARTY
A group of little girls helped Adene
Starr celebrate her seventh birthday
at a party given by her mother, Mrs.
Gordon Starr, on Friday, Feb. 20th.
After an enjoyable hour of games
on the lawn, delicious refreshments
were served to the eighteen little
guests. Toy balloons and hatchets
were given as favors and all had a
most delightful time and wished for
Adene many more as happy birthday
celebrations.
I am going to write about Grand-
mothers and especially one I observ-
ed Saturday on the streets of your
little city. I was talking to a party
when a little boy passed and the lady
inquired about his mother who is in
a hospital, and wont be home for a
long time. "Gi-andma is with us," the
little fellow replied. As he passed on
his grandma came by, a loving smile
on her face and her soft brown eyes
looked so bright as she greeted my
friend. "I am so happy my dear Su-
sie is all right, I felt this morning
that she would come home and I tried
to sing for the first time since she
left.''
Several passed and they all said,
"IIcllo Grandma," and I remarked to
my friend, "Is she everyone's grand-
ma?" "Yes, in a way," was the re-
ply, "for she has a smile for every-
one or a loving pat. She sympathizes
with neighbors as well as her dear
ones."
I tell you I thing the dear loving
Grandmas are more than wonderful.
So let us all take our hats off to them.
Their hearts are crushed by their
children's troubles, still they try to
smile and stand by us all in our trials.
From one who loves Grand Mothers.

ren, Charles P., Ruth E., and Helen A.,
deceased; and Leslie M. and Clinton S.

Nothing's wrong with Texas, ex-
cept entirely too many of us get up
in the morning at the alarm of a
Connecticut clock, button a pair of
Ohio suspenders to a pair of Chicago
pants.—Put on a pair of Massachu-
setts shoes, wash in a Pittsburgh tin
basin, using Cincinnati soap, and a
cotton towel made in New Hamp-
shire, sit down to a Grand Rapids
table, eat pancakes made from Min-
neapolis flour spread with Vermont
maple syrup, and Kansas bacon fried
on a St. Louis stove. Buy fruit put up
in California, seasoned with Rhode
Island spices, and sweetened with
Colorado sugar. Put on a hat made in
Philadelphia, hitch a Detroit mule fed
on Oklahoma gasoline to an Ohio plow
and work all day on a Texas farm
covered with a New England mort-
gage, send our money to Ohio for
tires, wondering why Texas taxes are
$2.75 per acre while Ohio farmers
pay $1.00 tax and drive on paved
roads, and at night we crawl under a
New Jersey blanket to be kept awake
by a bull dog, the only home product
on the place, wondering all the time,
where in the hell all the money went
in this wonderful State of ours. If we
all would buy more Home manufactur-
ed products, patronize Home owned
stores and cut out buying from for-
eign owned stores wo could keep our
money at home and be prosperous.
