The Flores ville Chronicle-Journal
tells the story of F. F. Kolenda’s di-
versification success in 1929. He har-
vested $833 worth of onions from
ten acres, planting cotton between
the onion rows that yielded $370
worth of lint cotton. He sold 294
turkeys for $963, besides selling 127
cases of eggs and a considerable
amount of butter from his cows.
Yes, the groundhog saw his shad-
ow Sunday, Feb. 2, which according
to the Indian legend, or tradition or
something, means that there will be
! six weeks more of winter weather.
But, even sq, by that time there will
j be many gardens planted, and some
| com; and the prudent and foresight-
, ed will have dolled up the quarters
! for the poultry and be getting rev-
| enues daily from the egg produc-
i tion—and the orchard will have been
: pruned and plowed and fertilized. :

The following bit of advice was
published in a traveling sales-
man's magazine called, The Imp.
14 is reproduced here in the be-
lief that the idea in the clipping
may be used by others as well
as salesmen. Here it is:
When the world looks like a
pretty serious problem, say to
yourself and mean it, “I don’t
give a damn!” When your sales
quota is far above your sales and
the time t» recover is Hhort, start
out, now with a feeling that
you've just got to do it today,
but say to yourself, “I don’t give
a damn!” And work like the devil.
If your pet customer spends three
fourths of the grudging half-hour
he gives you in telling you what
a bum joint you represent, smile
and humor him along and say to
yourself (and mean it), “I don’t
give a damn!”
When delivery was promised on
the eighteenth and your tracer lo-
cates the car with a busted draw-
bar on. a siding in the evening of
the twentieth, say to yourself, “I
don’t give a damn!” and bum up
the wires bo get the car moving.
It may not be elegant language;
the sentiment of valentine honey-
ings is lacking; your wife may
disapprove it; there’s no consist-
ence in it; but it does the work!
TRAMPS? HOW
THEM?
TREAT
There are more unfortunate men
tramping this winter than in many
years. I used to think men tramp-
ed from choice but I do not think
•o now. I have noticed that when
there are jobs for everyone that the
hobo disappears. Let us not turn
these unfortunate men away when
they ask for food. If you see one
scantily clothed and you have a dis-
carded coat or pants or shoes, go
and get them and clothe him. I re-
member at the commencement of the
war there were hundreds of men
tramping, seeking work. One came to
me who was very sick. He was filthy
and the most repulsive looking man
I ever saw. Reluctantly, and I fear
ungraciously, I undertook to secure
him shelter and sent for a doctor. I
shall never forget my humiliation and
. feeling of unworthiness when a lady
who knew what I had done asked me
if | knew who the man was, and
when I told her I did not know, she
said: “I will tell you. It was Jesus of
Nazareth, for did He not say, I was
sick and you ministered unto me?”
I felt like falling on my knees and
asking God to forgive my ungracious-
ness.—Homer Price in The Marshall
Morning News.
From all indications there are men
in Texas who are more anxious for
a scrap than they are for harmony.
It matters not to them that there
are important things to be done, po-
litically and otherwise, and that the
state should enjoy prosperity that
copies through harmonious action..
And it is coming' time to call a
halt on all would-be leaders, who
prefer to ruin, if they do not have
their way in everything.
A campaign based on mere parti-
sanship should be discouraged. Tex-
as peeds big men in office to help
put over the big constructive jobs
of the state. Trouble-makers should
be shelved.—Palestine Herald.

in his professions of solicitude for
the welfare of the poor. It is re-
freshing to take that view of it, any-
way, and it is a noble example that
he sets. There are few instances on
record in which public officials have
turned down gifts of fine automobiles
in order that the money that would
have been paid for them might go to
the relief of the indigent. Particu-
larly, is it encouraging to hear a
report such a3 this coming out of
Mexico, where the need is great for
the development of relief agencies.
If Rubio is playing politics, it is a
mighty good kind of politics.—Hous-
ton Post-Dispatch.

THEY REACH FOR
A FACT
If we recall aright, Rusk county
baa led Smith county in the pro-
duction of cotton for three (and pos-
sibly four) of the past years. Har-
rison county led Smith county one
- year. But Smith county led Rusk
county, according to Government
ginning report* last year
E er strictly Edit TelhH u<»
I within recent years produced more
cotton that the foregoing counties.
But there isn’t much consolation, and
certainly no cause for pride in the
achievements of these counties—be-
cause they are today comlees, feed-
counties,. Why doesn’t each chal-
lenge the other two in a food-aud-
feed-production contest?
Do you have good natured discus-
sions in your home or are they ting-
ed with ill-feeling when one differs
with another?
If bitterness enters discussions,
you miss a great opportunity to
learn something, to gain new ideas.
And there will be fewer discus-
sions rather than trouble.
Young folk who are properly
drilled for debate learn that argu-
ments should be received and an-
swered on their merits without per-
sonalities.
It should be the same in the
home. *
Family discussions are useful and
the older members of the family are
often surprised at the ideas evolved
by the younger generation.
There should be every encourage-
ment to advance opinions for argu-
ment.
Not that argument should be' in-
dulged in frequently for the sake of
argument, for that is being disagree-
able.
It is very tiresome to meet per-
sons who are always alert for argu
ment.
But a great deal can be done to
develop sound logic and respect for
the opinions of others, if parents
would join in these arguments, not
in an impassioned way but in an im
partial manner, and encourage free-
dom of thought expressed.
Give the young people a fair
chance.—Houston Chronicle.

A FRIEND OF
THE POOR
Bead the Journal advertisements.
■ . * ■-■■■(
There will be those, of course, who
will accuse President-elect Rubio of
Mexico of demagogy in asking his
friends who are planning banquets
in his honor to call off social affairs
and to give the money they were
going to spend on them to the poor
and needy in Mexico. Senor Rubio
_ jh and Andy it safer
to stay away from feasts, it may be
said. He is purposing early in his
official life to avoid digging his grave
with his teeth, as so many popular
statesmen have done. But the pres-
ident-elect has not only declined to
be honor guest at banquets, but he
Hereafter, when a cigarette adver-
tising expert is tempted to make ex-
cessive claims for his goods, he will)
reach for a fact instead of a testi-
monial. A prominent tobacco com-
pany has signed an agreement not
to print any more advertisements
carrying the “indorsements” of
prominent persons of their goods,
unless the indorsement is genuine
and unpaid for, or else the adver-
tisement bears the statement that the
testimonial was so paid.for.
The accompanying statement of
the Federal Trade Commission, as
contained in the United States Daily,
is highly entertaining reading. It
appears from this account that tes-
timonial advertising, as used by our
tobacco friends, has largely resem-
bled the same sort of testimony as
formerly employed by many patent
medicine houses. That is to say, in
too many instances the letter was
prepared by the advertising man. The
signature was genuine to the testi-
monial, but little else about it was.
This sort of hokum is not neces-
sary to sell cigarettes, provided the
latter are good ones. And if they are
not satisfactory to the public, pro-
longer presentation of bought-and-
paid-for testimonials will lose ef-
fect, as it has in the patent medicine
trade. Advertising must be wholly
fair, to be all that advertising is in-
tended to be. The ancient notion that
an advertisement was really an en-
ticement to the unwary to part with
their good money in return for
goods of doubtful worth is not dead.
But it is on its last legs.—Dallas
News.

SELF
EXAMINATION
What have I done and what am
I doing to make people love me and
respect me? Am I doing anything,
consciously or unconsciously to make
them dislike me? I am in daily con-
tact with folks — droves of them;
they are going to think of me one
way or the other. Even-if-they re-
Let misfortune touch him on the |
pocketbook and he crumbles like a j
leaf. When his God shatters, as all 1
earthly things must shatter, he is j
wrecked morally, physically and spir- j
itually—If a hog has a spirit. -He [
hasn’t the true arid splendid man- j
hood to rise above the ruin of his !
broken idol.
Am I a huriian hog? Are you? !
The answer is—No! Need I ask why? j
For one thing, good people don’t j
cast pearls before swine, lest the j
beasts turn upon them and rend j
them. Just why any sane being can
adopt the tactics of the hog and live
only for his own greed, has always
been a mystery to me.
The human hog never sees the
error of his way. And, he wonders
why people don’t feel sorry for him
when his boat capsizes. He is will-
ing to accept the best people have,
but he has nothing to give them in
exchange.
His superb selfishness binds him
as it leads him slowly to destruction.
If he could find his fault himself
he would not be a human hog.—Dr.
John Joseph Gaines, in Rising Star
Record.
