NEW IDEAS FDR BLIND PEOPLE.
There have been about 100,000 blind
people Hi the, !'tilted States. A eon-
widcraMe addition has been made by
the war. The government lias given
special thought to the care of its
blinded soldiers. A new policy of
treatment is urged.
The old idea of a blind man is' the
pbor fellow led around by a dog* and
who carried a tin cup for people to
drop coins into. It is hopeless when n
blind mnn comes to look at himself
in that light.
It is believed that most of them can
become self-supporting. Some of the
blinded soldiers, after receiving the
uioderu training, are doing very well
in business. Tliey have made so
much of a suci-ess that firms employ,
ing them are calling Tor more blind
men. Tliey feel that a man who has
triumphed over tills obstacle has jier-
sistenee. Ills mind is subject to less
diversion than a seeing mall He is
apt to work with le<s inlerniptiim.
One of the schemes is to train them
^to manage stores. Plans are being
formed to establish a chain of stores
in which they will be the managers.
These stores are all to lie built on pre-
cisely the same plan. A sightless man.
having been trained in the model store,
will know just where everything is in
any of tile branches, and can direct
Its business efficiently.
The public lias a certain shrinking
from blind people. This is largely lie-
causc, when one meets a blind man, it
is hard to know what to say to him.
But peoide shonjd >eek the acquaint-
ance of blind people so far a! possible,
particularly of the blinded soldiers,
“the country owes these men a tremen-
dous debt. Business men should be
-"Willing to give them a trial on lines
of work which they are fitted.

Sherman architects say there is go-
ing to Is* a boHtMug spirit as soon as
‘•the weather is favorji'ble and among
KifiUbfe a number of

. 1* too-
medately vital to tlie millions Just
freed from the German yoke. So. in
March, tlie American Red Cross will
conduct a mammoth collection of used
clothing, shoes, and blankets, through-
out the i’ldted States.
March is the psychological month
for a salvage campaign. Witli the ap-
proach of Easter, when pale pink
crocuses and sturdy tulips are, stirring
in their warm winter beds and pre-
paring to change into gala summer
attire, we likewise ure changing our
attire. Heavy coats, serge skirts, wool-
en suits which would l>e too out-of-
st.vle for a reappearance next year
are doomed to lx* east aside by their
owners. Instead of a moth-balled sen-
ility for these garments, how much
better to send them across tlie sens,
where style will make no difference,
where they will mean life to shivering
women and frail children! Begin col-
lecting your old winter clothes now,
for the cnmimign will be held the
week of March 24 to March 31.
Those goods will be received at
No. 212 North Travis street, south
of the Chamber of Commerce build-
ing. .
Every kind of garment is needed.
Piece goods as well, light warm can-
ton flannel and other kinds of cloth
from which to make garments for
woe luables. Ticking, sheeting, and
blankets: woolen goods and shoes of
every size are asked for. Any scrap
leather can he advantageously used
for repairing footwear. Sinee the
clothes will got tlie hardest kind of
wear only strong, durable garments
should bo sent. Tlie refugees of Europe
can find no use for bullet slippers or
flimsy ball gowns 1 Make your gift
practical. Garments, however, need
not-be in perfect condition. Thousands
of destitute women are eager to make
a few francs by repairing and adapt-
ing gift clothing to their needs.
A qnautit,v of useless articles have
lieen turned in at former salvage col-
lections. They increase the cost, of
handling, as such articles have to be
picked out at the central collection
point and their cause a deplorable ex-
penditure for freight for which the
Red Cross must pay. So please do pot
gend hail dresses, flimsy dresses,
docks,*glasswal-e, carpets, toys, col-
lars, neckties, crutches, canes, para-
sols, pillows, crockery, rugs or food-
stuffs. -
In this campaign the Red Cross is
going to assume entire charge from
tlie time of collection to the time when
the haled clothing is delivered to tlie
ships of the European Relief Admin-
istration which will transport it to
Europe. The minimum allotment for
the entire country is 10.000 tons of
clothing and it is hoped that much
more than 10,000 tons will bo-milized.
-This collection is not a task for In-
dividuals,or' a group of individuals. It
is a task of (lie greatest magnitude,
needng (lie co-operation of every man,
woman and child in tlie eouirtry. Ten
thousand tons iif clothing! Just double
tlie amount ever asked for in any pre-
vious collection. But surely America
with its millions of well-fed, well*
efothed, prosperous citizens will feet
that in making tHis gift they are but
paying a small part of (lie debt which
they owe to these suffering peoples
who for so many months fought their
fight.
Tlie Ited River Valley Fair comes

comity can easily out distance all her
neighbors In the matter of live stock,
agriculture and hogs, so let us pat
forth our greatest efforts to promote
our fair. There is nothing tinder tile
sun to equal a good county fair.—
Van Alstyne lender.
Sherman now has staged a red hot
two conic red race for mayor and al-
dermen; tV. W. Rogers heads one fac-
tion and .1. B. Wilson the other, and
the interest is getting lively. Mayor
Rodgers is backed by the business ele-
ment to a large extent, while Mr.
Wilson is being supported hy organized
labor. The rate promises, to lie close.—
Van Alstyne Leader.
Sherman pulled off a “style show'
one night last week, for which tlie
gullahle ones paid a dollar a piece for
to . look in.-The writer epn stand on
any strict corner in Sherman about
eight o'clock any night and see several
"style shows" for less than that. For
instance, we were meandering along on
North Travis street the other night
and a lady passed us that appeared to
he lame. Naturally, we always feel
pity for a crippled lady, hut looking
around we discovered tliut she was
wearing a skirt that was drawn so
tight at the bottom that, she could
sear«el,v walk. She niftst have been
“crippled.” however. or else she
wouldn't wear such a garment. /How-
ever, the ladies have our permission
to wear just what suits them without
asking our consent.—Van Alstyne
I/aider.
And yet Editor Fore claims to lie
near-sighted and says lie needs a new
pair of glasses. Always look up, Bro.
Fore—never*look down.
THE COLONEL TO
SING
ONCE AGAIN.
One of the captivating features of
the Old Maid's Convention will be
beautiful mid touching quartette by
Dr. Ruddell. John Gray, Vrb Bradley,
and CoL Rudolph. The song is a new
creation aud is full of pathos. It is en
titled. “It's Worth Willie Waiting for
one Worth While”—Tioga Herald.
Remembering how thrillingly the
Colonel sang at tlie Red River Valley
Fair here once upon a time, we pause
to say the quartette will be worth go
ing miles to hear.
GENERAL UTILITY KNIFE.
Fritz G. I-anham Pays Tribute to
ventive Genius of a Lawyer.

v-y^
Tlie Grayson Telephone Co. is
publishing lots of information the
public Will be edified about if they
will only read it. Many things
are revealed in tlie articles that tell
of the workings in tlie operating
room and sometimes when we are
inclined to say something ugly to
Hie operator for seemingly indiffer-
ence we would not if wo ojpl> knew
how diligently she is wording to ge;
our connection next. There are times
when tlie telephone company is short
of help because of sickness and a new
girl lias to learn before she becomes
rapid and efficient’.
(hi the trial of a recent case in the
criminal district court. Fort Worth, in
which tlie defendant was charged with
killing Ills wife with a knife, the de-
fendant stated in liis testimony that
he had purchased the knife for his
wife for the purpose of trimming her
corns and scraping her feet. Tlie knife
was, perhaps, the largest pocket knife
ever seen in the courthouse.
In liis argument to the jury, after
one of tlie prosecuting attorneys had
ridiculed tlie idea that, the knife was
purchased ns a corn knife, Judge W
(\ Prewitt,' of council for the defense,
stated that lie inferred the defendant
had bought tlie cutlery as a “general
utility knife,” that it was not only
useful for the purpose specified by tlie
defendant, but could serve also in the
peeling of potatoes, the cutting of
bread, carving of meat, making kind-
ling, etc. In fact, that it was a knife
for all purposes.
The following lines were written by
Fritz G. Lanlmm as a suitable tribute'
both to tlie genius of Judge Prewitt
and the knife:
The General Utility Knife.
There arc all kinds of cutlery, ancient
and new,
Tlie dagger, the sword and the Bowie-
knife, too,
The butcher knife, butter knife, paper
knife, dirk;
And each is designed for its own speci-
al work,
In parlor or pantry, in hod room or
hall, »
Each one has a mission in life;
But tlie blade that i»erforms every
function of all
Is the general utility knife.
It is specially good in the scraping of
feet:
It is equally apt in tlie carving of
meat;
tn the paring of corns it is known to
excel;
And it peeleth potatoes exceedingly
well. „
In every condition ft findeth a place,
In seasons of peace ami of strife;
You can cut down expenses or
off your face
With a general utility knife.
