TO TELL YOU!

A SPLENDID AGE
Ah," who would heark back to those ancient "good times"
That we chortle about in our songs and our rhymes?
Those times which but bear the enchantment of age
As some fond sweet illusion, a bright pictured page—
With its romance of joy, and its wonderous love;
With its message of faith and its heaven above?
But ah, let us stop all such false longing plea,
And find in TODAY all the good things there be;
For there ne'er was a time since this old earth was born
With so much that is GOOD and so little to scorn-
As TODAY—with life's problems the more understood;
And no past ever held anything half so good.
Hcncc we will not look backward, for Truth is not there!
But with glad ways TODAY build.a future more fair—
And illuminate the path with love's spirit within,
Free from errors of past, and its burden of sin;
For TODAY is the best day that ever was known!
And Truth ne'er before sat as firm on its throne.

TEXAS ROSES SMELL GOOD.
After reading Lloyd George's speech to his Welch neighbors
about the exceedingly chilly and otherwise uncertain atmosphere
up there on the highest pinnacle of fame, we've just about decided
to stay where we are.
% OLD-FASHIONED%
Our idea about marriage is, that it can only endure when based
upon profound respect, due to excellency of character. Cuteness
is not enough, as too many suppose, but ok as far as it goes. We
like 'em cute, when character goes with it.
MERELY COLOR BLINDNESS.
If you keep yourself true and sweet, your friends will reflect
back to you the sauie spirit. We see the world largely in the light
of our own inward nastiness—or otherwise, as the case may be.
CHEER UP.
A man is but a little boy grown tall!
A woman is a flapper gone to seed !
Each, as a harvest in the fall—
A thing of joy, or an unwholesome weed.
Kessel and Hirsh of the Franci-
tas Land & Improvement Co.
Messrs. VonKessel, Willrodt
and Hirsh were visitors to Palac-
ios Monday, and after an after-
noon of dissipation wherein much
koke" and near-as-lawful beer
was consumed they returned to
Francitas in 'a state of inebria-
tion, which, if not real, was at
least fancied.
Francitas is glad to note the
commencement of oil activity in
the Palacios District, and altho
it once appeared as if Francitas
would take the lead in this re-
spect, we still hope that altho
this is not now possible, that we
will nevertheless follow closely
in the footsteps of the "City-by-
he-Sea."
In a hotly contested game of
>all, the contingent representing
! Palacios defeated Francitas'
prides to the tune of 7 to 2. No
alibi is to be advanced for their
defeat, but a whole-hearted spirit
for revenge prevails, and it is
hoped that a return game will be
played to be staged in the "City-
by-the-Sea."
The Deutschburg Club held its
monthly meeting Friday, April 8,
most of the discussion being rel-
ative to cattle dipping. A great
number of the farmers seem to
be a ti'ifle shy on enthusiasm in
this respect, but the beneficial
effects of dipping which are sure
to become manifest, will doubt-
less dispel all such dissatisfac-
tion. The benefits of dipping
are not fallacious, but a proven
fact, and there is no doubt that
the community will be bettered
thereby.
