' The country people are gqtting
lofts & advice on how to run their
affairs but what they need is
wore elbow grease.
The people who set on front
porches ami tell their help what
to do are not as a rule very au&
cessful in the farming game.
If all the vast strength of
American youth manifested in
athletics could also be displayed
in doing farm work more pro-
gress would be made.
Considering the wisdom with
which the village hang-out loaf-
ers tell what the government
ought to do it is strange that
congress docs not resign and let
hem do it.
On January 1st the State High
"way Commission will take over
the maintenance of the 13000
miles of designated State high-
ways in Texas under the law
passed by the 38th legislature.

PEACE
"Two killed (n beer war runs
a flaming headline in a Chicago
newspaper. One had thought
the country was at peace as
since November 1918; but a
glance nt any daily newspaper
headlines will suffice to unde-
ceive. Besides this bootlegger's
war Chicago is waging a cease-
less struggle against gunmen
and hired thugs. Then out on
the Atlantic coast the Revenue
anl Coast guard boats are fight-
ing rum-runners. In this con-
flict solid shot frequently is fir-
ed jrivinsr it the effect of genuine
warfare. Oklahoma is under
martial law plunged in turmoil
and strife as the visible govern-
ment and the "invisible" empire
grapple fo rmastery.
Mobs klans and other groups
wage their own private wars
wreak vengance and dispense
such "justice" as they sve fit.
Indeed most of the country
seems to be belligerent more or
less seriously. There is ample
jvork for the peacemaker. Some
enterprising philanthropist mig-
ht endow an invisible league to
enforce peace. San Antonio

HARD TIMES
WHAT MAKES
A COMMUNITY.
1
A Georgia judge commenting
on the floggings in that state
aays that they are underminding
the reputation of Ku Klux Klan.
This is bad. Should they con-
tinue they might also have some
effect on the reputation of the
jcople where they occur. Lub-
bpcfc Avalanche.
What is claimed will probably
be the largest firecracker ever
fired in Texas will be set off dur
ing the Texas Exposition at Aus-
tin Oct 1-6. The cracker is said
to be 100 feet in length and to
have cost approximately 5200.
It -was ordered by managers of
the exposition from Hong Kong
China.
The word "community" lias
come into general use of late
nnd it has an inner meaning that
may be hidden to some. Com
munity comes from a word mean
ing common. It is a place where
people ipnllze Ithat they have
common interests and that they
must work together for common
ends. The old time country
town hardly did that. It was
not really speaking a commun-
ity. Every man went about his
own business. It did not occur
to them to pool their interests
and join forces and gt things
done. So they just drifted a-
long and got nowhere. The
modern town begins to progress
on that date when it wakes up
from( just being a town and be-
comes a community.
L Whether the new slot machine
ta?? iff includes pay telephones
and similar devices maintained
in hotels as well as weighing
and vending machines was sub-
mitted by Comptroller Lon. A.
Smith to the attorney general
department for ruling. Smith
.contends that such devices are
' covered by the law as well as
chewing gum vending machines
or "pay scales."

The license fees on automo-
. biles for 1923 will be higher than
for 1922 under the new law pass
ed by the legislature. As a com
parison the Ford license was
slightly over $7 last year and
this year the license will be over
$10. All other cars are increas-
ed in propotion with a graduated
scale on horse power df big mo-
tor trucks.
The poll tax rolls of Milam
county show thatthere is a total
of 11264 poll taxes assessed for
the county as compared with a
total of 10234 assessed in 1922.
J$Eke voting strength of the coun
ty if all pay their poll taxes will
be increased 1030 over the stren
gth ast year. The amount of
polls assessed docs not indicate
the voting strength except in
approximate sense as the num-
ber actually paid before January
SI 1924 will determine the vot
ing strength.
LOVE
"Love covereth all sins."
Prov. 10:12.
"Greater love hath no man
than this that a man lay down
his life for his friends." John
15:13.
"Owe no man anything but to
love one another." Rom. 13:8.
"If I have all faith so that I
can remove mountains and have
not love I am nothing" says
Brother Paul.
"Love! Love! Love." Love is
the greatest thing in the 'world.
Love has never as yet nor never
will cast a shadow upon a home
never wounded a human heart
and never wronged a human soul
Love is the mighty force work-
ing today toward the upbuilding
of the race of man on earth.
"I hold that Christian grace
abounds
Where charity is seen that
when
We climb to heaven 'tis on the
rounds
Of love to men.
'Tis not the wide phylactery
Nor stubborn fast nor stated
prayers
That makes us saints we judge
the tree
. By what it bears.
And when a man can live apart
From works on theologic trust
I know the blood about his heart
Is as dry as dust."
There's too much Complaint
about hard times these days.
Tines are jiot hard; we just
want more than wo are able to
earn and if we fail to get what
wo want we grouch about hard
times. Mt. Pleasant Hustler
Our hard times come of hav-
ing to do without the things
that we want. The hard times
of other days came of having to
do without things thntv they
needed.' Mighty few of us
know real want. Mighty few; of
us have been so hungry that we
were sick and weak for the want
of food. MightV- few of us have
felt actual exposure or lacked.
for the real necessities of life.
Measured by the standard of liv-
ing of former days we live bet-
ter live more comfortably and
live longer than the happy souls
of the golden age. More men
in the United States today are
masters of their own destinies
than ever before in the history
of mankind. Hard times? Why
we don't know the meaning of
the term. What (we need is
hard backbones hard palms and
hard work. And if our teeth
could only get hard oji a little
hard fare why dentists and
doctors could take longer vaca-
tions. Dallas News.

He had parked at the side of
the road a mile out and his 11
ghts Were on as a sort of buoy
to the rest of the world which
wont speeding heedlessly by.
The girl on the seat with him
was not over sixteen and those
who passed noticed casually that
their lips were glued tight in one
of those high-powered kisses.
A little further on another' pair
of youngsters were at the same
engaging pastime and yet fui
ther on still another. All were
oblivious to the passing specta

generation is placed on trial and
enters its own plea in defense.
What it is in reality is the
frankest and most unblushing
expression of an elemental pas
sion in public. A Bantu negro
in. the heart of Africa hunts the
jungle or goes to his hut to
"make love" but the reserve ev
en which nature itself throws a
round such exchanges has been
cast off entirely by white boya
and girls in this United States
of America.
Understand all you "candid"
youngsters we are not coment-
ing at all from the tiresome
"moral" angle. We are free to
confess that a certain elemental
thing has been in the world al-
ways and that there never was
a time when men and women did
noc under given circumtsances
and with proper privacy give it
expression. Girls have been
kissed always and will be until
the crack of doom but not until
recent years did they desert the
privacy of their own homes and
go out on the public highways
to advertise the "humancss" of
the world. That was left; to the
prostitute and even she sought
a measure of privacy. This is
merely a discussion as to what
constitutes good taste.
There is a time and a place
for all things even kissing but
the public highways were not
built for such exercises. The
girl who makes a public display
of her effecttons or who even
talks of them too intimately to
other girls cheapens herself and
in the end because of unblush-
ing familiarities destroys the
respect her boy friends would
otherwise have for her. Take
it or leave it as you will but
nature has so contrived the ma-
ting instinct that too much of
this hot stuff cloys. Girls at-
tract anost wheric they bafile
provoke most where they main
tain that reserve with which na-
ture endowed them in the begin-
ning. The chiefest of feminine
charms in the eyes of the male
is proper modesty coupled with
the illusion of mystery with
which every wise girl surrounds
herself. Even these calloused
youths who take you out in the
country roads at night and who
make love to you in the prevail-
ing vogue of "Sweet Mamma"
"Yes We Have No Bananas"
prefer arduous conquest to easy
surrender go after the "hard
ones" and scorn the "easies."
As a rule when the soft places
in their heads heal over they
marry the girl who believs
there should be certain distinct
ions between men and the lower
animals and who as a result
does her kissing at home with
the blinds drawn with the safe-
guard of the paternal l'oof above
her and father alert to suspic-
ious sounds. Tom Bodine in
Paris Mercury.
