THE SLACKER.
(By Billy Sundny.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21.
A pood citizen starts his loyiilty
whore charity begins L his home
.town.
A knocker is worth $8.92 in potash
and nitrogen, but the man he should
Have blfen deters us from obtaining
the mineral.
Why are some people all smiles
when their visitors arc around, and
all frowns when all are gone but
home folks? Why not have some
Smiles for the family?
It is nity that makes the happi-
ness of a home. One discontented
disloyal member can spoil the peeca
of a houshold and make a place of
torment where a paradise should be.
The telephone company, the light
compuny, the water works company,
demand their money every thirty
days, and get it, why not the mer-
chant, especially during the fall sea
son t
The tightwad hasn't any use for
playgrounds, parks, bands. He's a
skinflint. The only thing you'll ever
get out of a "guy" like that is his
appondix. You'll have to cloroform
him to get that.
Solomon did not set up one stand-
ard for the girls and another for tho
boys; he says: "Train up a child."
One child in the dear home nest is as
lovelv to us as another, and yet there
tre but few homes where the boys
are as tenderly shielded as the gjils.
Boili branches of the legislature
have passed a moratorium bill effect-'n-z
tho u ll estate debts of soldiers
-v nlois of the United States, to
b" is, foul durinp the period of the
'v 1' - now up to the Acting
Cove i foi his approval.
TK .o,(it)0 appropriated at the
firat H.,un of the Thirty-fifth log-
isl&tu e to rofund unearned portions
of 'ortour licences has been expended,
and another $50,000 is being asked
fo1- in this session to take 6aro of the
Hcfnpes of "Dallas aniLGquzales re-
cently .ro'.c diy, as well as sofirff'yet
unpaid.
The commissioners' court has pass-
ed an order requiring all railway
. -03sings on pike roads of the county
1o be put in first-class condition.
Tho Belton-Temple road is to be
lool'cd after more carefully. Belton
Journal.
This will be gratifying news to
the citizens of this section, of Bell
County, for some of the roads here
are in a horrible condition, and in
some places, will be impassable, if
pot repaired soon. The road leading
from Bartlett to Goodevilie is in bad
condition.
The lowest down thing m the
world and I am sure you will aurce
with me is tho slacker.
Tho American who isn't doing his
bit right now when Unela Ram needs
his body or his boodle is 30 low down
that he could look a rat in the eye
without bending his knees. And even
lower. The point where ho stands
in my estimation is so deep below do-
cency that he'd have to hire an air-
ship to get to the devil'? domain.
I am sure no live one who lamps
this lecture is a slacker to the flag,
The guy who likes slang end sports
has the old red blood; he hits instead
of hollering, he swings instead of
squawking. lie's there.
But lend me your listeners, scouts!
There are other ways of .slacking,
you know, besides waving thd red
Hag of anarchy or crying: "Con-
sciencious Objector."
Are you n slacker yourself? You
can be that in a flock of different
ways. Pipe this, and then giveour-
solf the up and down:
Do you slack on the boss .' If
you're up to the fact that the old man
does not breeze in until nine-thirty,
do you arrange things so that you
arrive at nine-twenty-six instead of
nine? When the main squeeze hap-
pens to step out, do you slow down
the machine, or chin with the gink
at the next desk? That's slacking!
You may think you aic giving the
raspberry to the chief, but you're all
wrong; you're handing it to yourself.
Do you slack on your home? Do
you kick in all that you ought to so
that it will be a regular place or do
you hold out from the envelope and
hand some kind of bunk to the old
of Iks or friend wife? Do you stay
out and roll along until two or three
and then slip them the work about
business or the sick pal? If you do
you're a slacker, and you're lidding
yourself more than anybody else.
Do you slack on your health? Do
you say:
"Another skooner of suds won't do
me any harm," or "I need a shock to
keep me going?" Or "A little visit
down the line once in a while won't
hurt me?" Or do you figure that
you can make up with extra sleep on
Sunday the time you lose Saturday
night? You know you are giving
the worst of it to yourself.
Do you slack on Christianity and
decency? Do you say:
-"av, it's woman sUiff.to go to
church'" r viwtf-
But do you laugh at the old lady
when she goes? or the old gent? If
a guy happened to snser at them,
wouldn't you bust him wide open?
Get wise to yourself old timer.
You take your lid off to the pal that's
goihg in khaki to fight over there
don't you? You say he's doing the
right thing.
You do the right thing right here
and you'll get a jolt to find how
many folks will doff the Kelly to you.
To be an American and a Christian
and a clean guy is the best thing on
earth.
Give it a whirl! Don't be a slack-

Will Make Some Cotton.
"FLOWERS FO THE LIVING."
Mr. Jim A. Talloy, who owns six
hundred acres of cotton in Wharton
county, is pleased with the prospects
of a good cotton crop this year. He
has already gathered two Hundred
bales of the fleecy staple and will
make one hundred and fifty more this
vear, not including the top crop that
he hopes to make a few bales from, i
Mr. Talley is pleased with the price
and while his crops has been a fail-
ure here for the past two years, he
is not discouraged, and looks for a
few rays of sunshine to pop up some-
whore when he least expects it, there-
fore he makes but very few, if any,
complaints. Temple Mirror.

A man only begins to be a man
whein he ceases to whine and revile
and commences to search for the
hidden justice which regulates his
life. And as he adops his mind to
that regulating factor, he jeeasos to
nccuse others as the cause of his con-
dition, and builds himself up in
I strong and noble thoughts; ceases to
kick against eircumstunccs, but bo-
' gins to use them as aids to his more
rapid progress, and as a means of
discoering the hidden powers and
possibilities within himself. Preto-

The Uoustonian, a woman's maga-
zine, edited and published by Mrs.
Estelle Hudson, is typically what it
is called in its masthead. That does
not mean that it is i-ivcn over to so-
ciety and frivolities, but rather tal es
to the line of the advanced work of
women of the present day.
The editor takes a wide view on
many tilings and is doing a good
work. Notable along this line is an
editorial in the current issue, which
will strike a responsive chord in the
breast of every thinking person,
man or woman.
"Flowers for the Living" might be
tho theme, and probably would have
been the headline over the nrticle,
had one been written. The Houston-
Ian sas: ,
This week in Houston, a young
woman took her own lifo and left
a written request that a kiss should
be given hor in death. The kiss in
deatli could mean nothing but senti-
ment, while a I iss in life could moan
all that is worth liing for.
What a sermon in that. What food
for thou 'lit. It is not necessary to
publish the details of that death.
Not of any use to tell of tho sur-
roundings, or whether the funeral,
if there was any, was conducted at
tho expense of tho county, or if any
weeping friends followed the body to
tho grave.
"That a kiss should be given hor
in death!" It is a striking illustra-
tion of what i wanting in this world

It is a heart-breaking appeal.
Yet what do the people of the world
do? Was that kiss givon in death?
Of course not. So hardened has be-
come the human heart to appeals of
this kind that it all roes by as a mat-
ter of couise, with never a thought
of what the Master will ask and re-

Times are good in Beaumont, we
surmise, from the indications of ac-

yard. The Enterprise announces that
GO arrests were made by the city
police and detective forces Saturday
night and Sunday. "Among the of-
fenses charged against tho various
prisoners were vagrancy, disturbing
the peace, fighting, gambling with
both dice ami cards, drunkardness,
speeding, violating the sanitary and
pure food laws, petty theft and bur-
glary." Where there is so much do-
ing around there must be some legi-
timate activity. Temple Telegram.
