TWELVE RULES FOR SUCCESS
m
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1928
B*- '& - ■
Marshall Field, the world’s most suc-
cessful retail merchant, said there
were twelve things to keep in mind
while working on the road to success: jof the deaths.
Deaths from the operation of high-
way vehicles in the United States, ac-
cording to the grade crossing commit-
tee of the American Railway Associa-
tion, reached 23,497 in 1927; in other
words these vehicles sent to their
doom the equivalent of the entire
population of a fair sized city. Of this
total, accidents at railway grade cros-
sings contributed 1,974, or 8.4 per cent,
Total highway fatal-
‘One, the value of time.
Two, the success of preservance.
Three, the pleasure of working.
Four, the dignity of simplicity.
Five, the worth of character.
Six, the power of kindness.
Seven, the influence of example.
Eight, the obligation of duty.
Nine, the wisdom of economy.
Ten, the virtue of patience.
Eleven, the improvement of talent.
Twelve, the joy of originating.”

On Wednesday of this week we re-
, ceived an account of a wedding for
publication. The article was signed
--
A few years ago most Texans
thought it necessary to go to Colorado
or Yellowstone Park or some other
picturesque part of the country for a
summer vacation. The churches held
their styhnier assemblies, their young
peopled meetings and their chautau-
quas in distant states. Boys’ and girls’
camp schools in other states were pat-
ronized to the exclusion of the few
camps then in Texas. When a Pres-
bvterian assembly was first held at
Kerrvllle it was poorly patronized for
tne sole reason that Texans thought
they had to leave Texas to be com-
fortable9 in the summer. Kerrville
kept on with its effort to make the
people know they could find at Kerr-
ville many Comforts not found outside
the State. More summer camps were
established; other churches and young
people’s organizations became inter-
ested. Other places in the Hill coun-
try, seeing what was being done at
Kerrville, began to bid for summer
visitors. Newspaper readers soon no-
ticed that many Texans were spend-
ing their summer vacations at the Hill
country resorts and were having as
good times as those who traveled far
for pleasure. It is now 'quite the
proper thing for Texans to spend thdir
vacations to Texas, and Kerrville is
entitled, to a large part of the credit
for this feeling.—Kenedy Advance.
ities in 1926 were 21,431, so that the
1927 figure shows an increase of 10
per cent. On the other hand, the num-
ber attributed to railway grade cros-
sings was 4 per cent lower in 1927 than
in 1926 and the ratio of grade crossing
fatalities to total deaths in highway
accidents declined from 9.6 per cent
to 8.4. If grade crossing accident
deaths in 1927 had shown the same
increase as did other highway casual-
ties, the 2,270 persons would have lost
their lives, as against the actual figure
of 1,974. In other words, the rail-
roads, by eliminating crossings, pro-
viding greater protection and by edu-
cating the public to “cross crossings
cautiously” in one year alone may be
credited, theoretically at least, with
conserving the lives of almost 300
persons. The American people are
paying an awful price in human lives
for the .popularity of highway trans-
portation and it is encouraging to see,
in some quarter at least, a tendency
toward reducing these casualties.”
The railroads of this country are
doing everything within their power
to bring about a decrease in these ac-
cidents. For the past six or seven
years Cross Crossings Cautiously Cam-
paigns have been conducted, to an ef-
fort to educate the public as to the
necessity for care to approaching rail-
road tracks at highway crossings. Dur-
ing this educational campaign we dis-
tribute placards and booklets, write
letters to Churches, Clubs, Schools,
etc.,—each carrying a message about
the Cross Crossings Cautiously Cam-
paign. In addition to this, our em-
ployes hold safety meetings each
month to discuss, among other things,
way and means for bringing about a
reduction in these accidents.—Editorial
in “The Railroad Age.”

ODEM MUSIC CLASS PARTY
Last Thursday evening a truck and
two cars loaded with gay laughing
boys and girls drove to Welder Park
for an honest-to-goodness moonlight
picnic. Miss Myrtle Temple, Odem
music teacher, had planned a delight-
ful time for her pupils.
They arrived at the park and enter-
ed with hearty interest into the ex-
citement of the games. Others fed
the graceful deer. Groups wandered
o’er the hilly slopes, pausing oecas-
sionally to the shadows Of the trees.
Thus time sped merrily by. At last
rrom some unexpected quarter, fruit
and dainty cakes were produced
“topped off’ with delicious ice cream,
served in real cones!
How we enjoyed the feast—but it
ended all too soon. The cars were
started, then came the long and most
jolly ride home.
The pupils who enjoyed the occas-
sion were; Doris Cherry, Natalie
Baylor, Loretta Baylor, Mary Ruth
Winebren^r, Herlinda Fuentes, Norene.
Hughes, Mary Louise Skull, Charles
Temple, Douglas Smith, Boyd Smith,
Ernest Forgy and Mary Lona Forgy.
The guests invited were Lillian Webb,
Alice Cook, Lenora Sanders, Evelyn
McCraw, Ava Bounds, Betty Peterson,
Lonnie Armstrong, Lorraine Deaver,
Walton Temple, Arnold McCraw, T.
M. Cherry, Jr., Dwain Thornton, Paul
Forgy and the teacher, Miss Temple.

Little Mary, who had fallen ill, beg-

It was found that an operation was
necessary for the child’s cure and
that she must go to the hospital. Her
mother promised that if she were
very brave she should have the very
finest kitten to be found.
As Mary was recovering from the

heard her muttering:
“It’s a rotten way to get a kitten.”
