He can wear an overcoat in August

Recently Matt O’Neill of The Fris-
co Journal tried to sell us a thermom-
eter, barometer, or something of the
kind that would give us the lowdown
on Texas weather and enable us to
forecast with as much accuracy aa
characterizes his prognostications.
We shied at attempting to forecast
Texas weather with anything that
could be bought for $10. Last week
Matt prophisied a very wet Christ-
mas—so wet that there would be lit-
tle Christmas travel. Just how far
he missed it, everybody knows. We
have since been patting ourselves on
the back for not parting with ten
beans for such a bum weather instru-
ment. Matt’s reputation as a weath-
er forecaster is just about ruined.—

are just getting by. They
are good citizens in most respects
and carry the burden of Government
but they are not successful. The
average worker is seldom promoted,
seldom is he given charge of
_ rtment. The average teacher
never becomes a principal or super-
intendent; the average lawyer is not
rushed with business nor is the aver-
age physician overworked.
The thing to do is for every aver-
age man and woman to make an ef-
fort to rise above the average. If
enough succeeded the average will be
raised to a point where most men
will be successful. Those who do not
come up to the mark will then be
forced to seek other fields of endeav
or in which they may prove mor<
adapt.—Farm and Ranch.
*••••••••
Perhaps there is no word so hard
to say as the little word “forgive."
We do not mean to say that the word
is hard to articulate, but that we are
all averse of humiliating ourselves to
ask another for forgiveness and par-
don, in care of a grievance or a quar-
rel. As a rule, after a misunderstand
ing has taken place among friends,
neither of them will admit being in
the wrong, even if both knew in their
innermost hearts they were at fault.
Pride prevents them from extending
their hands and saying the word “for
give.” They pass each other in sil-
ence and sulleness, while each heart
yearns for the other’s smile and
friendly pressure of the hand. Years
of quarrel and feud often result from
a harshly spoken word, which, per-
haps, was not intended when it was
said. Let us try to overcome our
hurt feelings and practice self-denial.
Wc will see how quickly the sore in
our heart will heal and peace and
happiness return, if we expel from it
pride, and hatred. If you have an
Prosperity A
State Of Mind
Some years ago the late President
Wilaon referred to then current de-
pression as psychological—“a state
of mind." It was not easy for job-
less men and losing businesses to
grasp the idea. It will be even more
difficult for our times to grasp the
truth behind the assertion that pros-
perity is also a state of mind. Yet
this is *the assertion of Virgil John
son, chief economist of the National
Industrial Conference Board. The
country, says Mr. Johnson, is in the
grip of a “prosperity complex,”
whose illusions are created by
traordinary economic conditions, by
exceptional activity in the production
of certain classes of goods, by sweep
ing changes in the organization and
methods of distribution and by shifts
in the living habits of urban popula-

are orders pouring in upon
Street from every comer of the
country. Stocks are selling for above
their sound value on an income basis.
The psychological factor is a heavy
one in this market. The knowing
ones say that some day the bubble
will be pricked; that the deflating
process already has begun.
It may be so, also, with our good
times. Economists are not aware of
the peril. Their warnings are no
more doleful croakings of pessimists.
They serve as barometers which
warn of the presence within our at-
mosphere of storm conditions.—Ex.

route to Big Spring to live.
The child was found dead no the
floor of the Liles automobile when
it was stopped at the Magnolia Fill-
ing Station on South Locust Street
in the stock j„ Denton shortly after noon Satur-
day. It had been in good health. It
was noticed lying still, in the rear of
the car, the parents said. Thirty
minutes before that time it was still
alive, it was brought out at an in-
quest held by Justice of the Peace W.
A. Mathews, who rendered a verdict
of death due to gas fumes from the
exhausts of the automobile.
The car, which was an open model,
had a part of the curtains up and in
addition had a wagon sheet thrown
entirely over the top, making it al-
most airtight, Mathews said.

Greenberry Adams
Called By Death
Greenberry Adams, for many years
circulation and assistant business’’
manager of the Daily Courier-Ga-
zette and Weekly Democrat-Gazette,
died at his home, 705 North Church
street this (Thursday) morning at
3 o’clock in the 68th year of his age.
Mr. Adams had not been well for
several weeks, but resumed his duties
at the office. He was stricken again
about ten days ago, yet his condition
was not thought to be critical until
Wednesday.
Mr. Adams had been a resident of
McKinney for forty-three years and
was a very much beloved citizen. He
was prominent in church and frater-
nal circles, being an active Odd Fel-
low, and a member of the First
Christian church. He is survived by
his wife and two children, a son, E.
Peyton Adams, cashier at the South-
ern Pacific freight offiee in this city,
and a daughter, Mrs. Sam Hill, who
with her husband made their home
with their parents.

W. P. Acker Dies At
Anniston, Alabama
On the front page of the Anniston
Star, of Anniston, Alabama, of date
Dec. 4, is a double column picture of
W. P. Acker, who died Dec. 2, in the
hospital at Birmingham, Alabama.
He had been in ill health for over six
months. He had been active as a
lawyer, business man, a churchman,
and civic leader for many years in
Anniston. His death created a pro-
found feeling of sorrow throughout
the state and keenly so in Anniston.
He was born at Spring Garden, Ala.,
Aug. 17, 1868. His widow and two
children, Wm. P.' Acker", Jr., and Miss
Marie Acker survive him.
Kent, Ohio.—Ailing trees of the
Southland can look toward the future
with renewed hopes.
Four hundred expert tree spr
geons—just as well qualified to feel
the pulse of a tree and treat its ail-
ments as a doctor is qualified to treat
a sick patient—are now practicing
their profession in the southern
states.
The large number of tree surgeons
sent South this winter reflects the
grat economic strides taken by the
South, according to Congressman
Martin L. Davey. “We have been
sending part of our tree surgeons
South for the past fifteen winters,”
said Mr. Davey, “but there has never
been such a demand for them as dur-
ing the past five years. We find that
this is a pretty good barometer of in-
creasing southern prosperity.”
Many of the trees treated are of
historical value. Because of the care
which has been given them they have
been saved for future generations.
One of the most noted of these is the
horse chestnut at Fredericksburg,
Virginia, the only one remaining
alive of thirteen planted by George
Washington to commemorate the
original states of the union.

grown vegetables
as cauliflowers, sp
paragus, kale, collards,

one of these and many others were
among the 82 new vegetables grown
by the Bailey woman’s home dem-
onstration club in the blackland of
Fannin county this last year. The
club reached its goal of having every
one of the 27 members grow at least
one new vegetable *nd learn to pre-
pare vegetables in four new and dif-
ferent vays.
Asparagus can be grown in any
garden from roots set in the spring.
New Zealand spinach is a valuable
leafy vegetable which withstands the
long dry Texas summers admirably.
Cauliflower does well nearly? every-
where from seed planted in Febru-
ary. Swiss chard is another good
garden crop that matures quickly
and is ready for use in early spring
and late fall.
The deceased lived in Collin county
for awhile. He was known as an ex-
emplary young man with a brilliant
mind. He is a kinsman of our fellow
citizens, Mrs. Mary Acker and fam-
ily.

Bush, county agent of Martin county,
after checking up the results of 22
pure seed demonsrtations conducted
this year by farmers and 1-H club

check plots were on the same kind of
land in each case and the cultivation
of the plots the same, leaving no
