If advice was relief, the farm-
ers would have plenty of it.
Government experts are
searching for a cloth that will
not wrinkle. Women are looking
for a face of the same type.
The Prison Location Commit-
tee has recommended that the
penitentiary be moved. Life-
termers are no doubt in favor of
a change of scenery.
Scientists are again discuss-
ing perpetual motion. The only
kind of motion that is perpetual
seems to be the talk about dis-
covering it.
Jim Ferguson is out in a
statement to the effect that he
or his wife might be persuaded
to run for governor next year.
Our guess is th^t they persuaded
each other. %
The dice shooter says “read
’em and weep.” And the stock
market gambler did the same
thing last week, only he was
reading figures in the ticker
tape. ,,
Again it has been proven that
necessity is the mother of inven-
tion. Thomas Edison couldn’t
have worked eighteen hours a
day if he hadii’t invented an
electric light to work by.
One reason that the talking
pictures are not going over so
big with the women is the fact
that they don’t get a chance to
get in a word during the entire
show.
The Farm Relief Board ap-
pointed some months ago by
President Hoover to carry out
the plans of the Farm Relief Act
has recently discovered that
they should lend the farmers
about 16c per pound on their
cotton crop this season. But
like most other bureaus of the
government, they have waited
too lohg to make the announce-
ment, as the larger part of the
present crop has now passed
from the hands of the producer
and is in the hands of the spin-
ner or the broker. Before an-
other cotton season rolls around
there will likely be changes
made in the workings of the act,
and they will again wait until
the cotton has moved before
they take any action. The cot-
ton farmers of the South must
make their own relief and not
depend upon the nation to do it
for them. Some counties in
Texas have solved their own
problems and it is up to the
others to do the same.
This is a day of mergers and
consolidations, and there are
some huge ones reported every
few days.- But about the big-
gest one we can think of would
be all of the filling stations and
hamburger stands.
The farmers in Van Zandt
county seem to have gotten
“farm relief” in the way of oil
royalty, and it will be just like
the Republicans to want to give
the Farm Relief Board all the
credit for it.
Babe Ruth is said to have
fourteen gray hairs in his head,
and that all of them have come
in the past seven months. Let’s
see, hasn’t it been just about
seven months since he married
again?
Albert B, Fall, former mem-
ber of the President’s Cabinet,
was found guilty last Friday of
bribery while a member of the
Cabinet, and the penalty for the
crime of this 63-year-old man
will be a heavy fine and also a
jail sentence. The next step in
this case, which has rocked the
very foundation of the Republi-
can party, will .be the bringing
to trial of Edward Doheny, in
connection with the same case.
The jury which found Fall
guilty, who was at one time, a
resident of Clarksville, Texas,
asked that mercy be shown the
former secretary of the interior.
This is an age where the people
as a whole are more concerned
over the humane side of life
than formerly, and the request
that the sentence of Fall be a
light one might be considered in
compliance with the Golden
Rule of doing unto others as you
would have others do unto you,
but on the other hand Fall is
guilty, and we believe that he.
should be punished with the
same degree of punishment as
any other person of lesser means
or reputation. Had' Mr. Fall
been an unknown character and
committed the same deed, his
punishment would have been

By J. H. L.
Dallas has a mayor. He is ev-
ery inch a mayor. He sees evils,
and does his best to abate evils.
He has provided more play parks changed
for the children and he has made
the public utilities of his city
toe the mark. Now he is attack-
ing an evil of long standing—
those awful union station steps.
He has written the Railway
Commission that those steps
must come down—and they will
come down. When these awful
flights of stairs were construct-
ed this writer entered a solemn
protest in the name of humanity.
He has kept on protesting, but in their special lines,
until Waddy Tate was elected he
had no assistance from Dallas
officials. The traveler who
leaves a passenger train at the
Dallas station must go up a
double flight of narrow steps
and then go just as far down as
he went up before he gets to Dal-
las. The new mayor has looked
with pity upon the weary, the
lame, the halt and the blind as
they pulled themselves and their
luggage up these steps, and he
Las sworn that they must come
down. Grease to your elbows,
Mr. Tate.
avoid advertising, or publicity of
any character, and for a recog-
nized physician to advertise,
other than by the insertion of a
small card in their local papers
telling of their location, was con-
sidered' a breach of etiquette in
the profession. But times have
and conditions have
changed. Physicians of the new
school have broken away from
the time-honored customs and
have used various methods of
advertising with good results.
Such physicians or surgeons
have been thought of as “quack
doctors” by members of the pro-
fession jvho cling to the old code
of ethics, even though many of
them prove themselves to be
highly educated and experienced
But Dr.
Dilby has had the nerve to come
out and tell his brother doctors
that they are burying their pro-
fession in historical obscurity
and keeping medical progress
out of modern literature by their
false modesty and tongue-tied
policies by their inherited antii
quated ethical ideas that print-
er’s ink is unethical. Just what
effect the address of Dr. Dilby
will have upon the profession
is unknown, but it may start a
movement that will make a
great change in the profession
in the years to come.
no just reason why Albert Fall
should- not be dealt with in the
same manner.
Boston is said to be the only
city in the nation where persons
renting rooms or houses have to
pay their rents each week. In
most cities landlords think they
are doing well if they can collect
each month.
We were just wondering what
ever became of the old-fashioned
citizen who was always growling
about the women putting every-
thing on their backs.—Clarksville
Times.
He is the same fellow who
is growling because the clothes
they don’t wear on their backs
cost so much.
The daily papers tell us sev-
eral barbers were fined the oth-
er day for shaving men on Sun-
day. But why pick on the bar-
bers? Are not other men, in
nearly^yery town in the state,
violating the Sunday law every
Sunday ? We are not saying the
Sunday laws are right or wrong,
but we are saying/ they are
being ignored. If some? are per-
mitted to violate the law at will
others should not be punished
for doing the same thing. The
law should play no favorites.

The Lions Club
The Lions Club met at the
Presbyterian church Tuesday
for their weekly luncheon, twen-
ty-eight Lions and guests being
in attendance. The meeting was
opened with the club singing
America, after which Rev, Clark
Russell gave the invocation. An
appetizing luncheon was enjoyed
by those in attendance, following
which a report of the various
committees were heard, by Jess
A. Smith, who presided in the
absence of President John W.
Russell. A number of matters
came up for discussion, among
which was the organization of
the Boy Scout troop, which the
Club has had’ under advisement
for some. It appears that in
order to organize this troop and
affiliate with the National move-
ment and become a member of
the Lone Star Area that Honey
Grove would have to defray the
expenses of an assistant Scout
executive for the area, provided
the remainder of the county
would not co-operate. This ex*
pense would prove rather heavy,,
and the committee was instruct-
ed to seek other means to or-
ganize the troop.
H. A. Emerson of Dallas, who
is installing the poultry plant in
Honey Grove, was present and
gave an excellent talk, bearing

If every person in Honey
Grove would give one hour per
week to the upbuilding of Honey
Grove, there would be no end to
the good that could be accom-
plished. Towns and cities that
are growing and prospering are
those which have citizens who
. are not afraid to put their
shoulder to the wheel and push
for greater things. Every busi-
ness man in Honey Grove would
like to see our city start build-
ing and growing, but how many
of them will assist in such a
movement? Letting the other
fellow , get out and work up a
progressive movement is easy,
but anything that does not have
co-operation of the entire

in this matter we do not refer

same character of competition
prevails in almost every line of

that the business man who pays
taxes here, who helps maintain
our churches and our schools,
should have some rights which
the itinerant merchant does not.

pression that competition should
be destroyed by ordinance, but

though she “fell” when the right

Tomato Cockta
rjfrHE tomato juice cocktail has
ill taken its place in society. In
other words,. “it clicks,” —
suits the palates of the discriminat-
ing. In proof of this, one woman
recently wrote about them: “We
have been serving tomato jnice
cocktails in our family for a num-
ber of years and consider them both
lelicious and valuable to our health,”
and went on to ask for scientific
supoort for her conviction.
Justified Popularity
The tomato juice cocktail's pop-
ularity is approved by eminent
medical opinion. Last year, William
Howard Fitch of the U. S. A. Medi-
cal Research Bureau, said of toma-
toes: “The popularity of the tomato,
fresh and canned, is fully justified
by our present knowledge of food
values, for the tomato is rich in all
three vitamins and retains them
well when cooked and canned.
Weight for weight, tomatoes raw or
canned, rank with lettuce and green
string beans as sources of vitamins
A and B and with oranges and lem-
ons as sources of vitamin C.” He
also states that one added advantage
of canned tomatoes is that they are
available throughout the year at
prices “which are neither prohibitive
nor subject to violent fluctuations:"
Tomato jnice for babies is men-
tioned thus by Dr. A. F. Hess of
Columbia University: “Canned to-
matoes is the most serviceable anti-
scorbutic for artificially fed infants.
It is well borne, inexpensive and;
available. From the nutritional
standpoint it may be regarded as a
palatable solution of the three vita-
tnins and should be fed to such in-
fants at the rate of 30 grams per
day.” _ .
Naturally, when fed to babies the
juice is simply strained. For adults,
many like to chill the juice and sea-
sou it with salt, lemon juice, tabas-
co and Worcestershire sauce. The
pulp should be saved and used with,
meats in stews or alone,
