MEN ARE MEN
Business is business, but men
are men,
Working, loving and dream-
in*;
Toiling with hammer, brush or
pen,
Roistering, planning, schem-
ing,
Business is business, but he’s a
fool
Whose business has grown
to smother
His faith in men and the Gold-
en Rule,
His love fcr friend and
brother.
Business is business, but life is
life,
Though we’re all ■ in the
game to win it;
Let’s rest sometimes from the
heat and strife.
And try to be friends a min-
ute.
Let’s seek to be comrades, now
and then,
And slip from onr golden
tether;
Business is business, but men
are men
And we’re all good pals to-
gether.

Terraces Worth $6.91
Per Acre
Abilene.—Milo maize on
terraced land produced 1825
pounds per acre this year for
P. G. Self of Tuscola in Taylor
county, while milo on unter-
raced lands made only 1234
pounds an acre. He gives as a
reason that a quick rain in July
stayed on the protected land
but ran off in 20 minutes’ time
on the unterraced land. Mr.
Self says terracing was worth
$5.91 per acre to him this year
on this crop.
Iron Rod Pins Man
To Scaffold After
It Tails Ten Stories
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 1.—
A seventeen-foot iron rod,
three-quarters of an inch thick,
fell ten stories down the side
of a building under construc-
tion here and penetrated the
hip of A E. Jacobs, 27, a
bricklayer, pinning him to the
scaffolding. At a hospital
where Jacobs was taken his
condition was said to be
grave.-
“We are now,” announced
the guide, "passing through a
rural hamlet.” >
"Oh," exclaimed the sweet
young thing, "I thought a ham-
let was a little pig."

SCHOOL WHICH CYCLONE
UBHEnruia
Anderson, Tex., Oct. 30.—
The presence of mind of a
school teacher ’ at Independ-
ence schoolhouse, five miles
east of here, probably saved
the lives of many of the eighty
students in the building Wed-
nesday about noon. Seeing the
funnel of a cyclone apparently
headed for the building, she
ordered the children to flee.
The cyclone a moment later
struck the school, lifted it in
the air and demolished it.
The cyclone then took a
northeast course and slightly
damaged a farmhouse a mile
from the school.
A light rain followed the
cyclone, which was about sixty
feet in diameter. '
Two Radio Set* For
• Family Solution to
Arguments Nightly
Chicago, Oct. B.1.—One
family, the members of which
are consistent radio listeners,
has solved the problem that
arises in many homes over the
question of which station shall
be listened to each evening.
In a letter to WENR, Chica-
go, J. R. Bascom, 3719 East
Seventy-Fourth, Chicago,
claims the honor for his family
being the first “two-set family”
in the United States.
His letter, in part, is as fol-
lows:
“Ever since we had our first
receiving set, there always
have been little arguments
about whch station we would
tune in during an evening. My
wife likes one kind of pro-
grams, 1 like another; and our
four children are divided
equally,'two with their moth-
er and two with me. As we
have a rather large apartment,
I determined that the best
way to settle all controversy
was to buy another radio set.
“Now, when the whole fam-
ily is in at night, we have two
programs going in different
parts of the apartment and we
thus have a choice that elimi-
nates one of the- first family
arguments that broadcasting
started.”

tn Loving Memory
of W. J. McLeroy
On March 19, 1929, death
with its icy fingers closed for-
ever the eyes and carried away
in his cold embrace our dear
loved one. For many, weary
days he lay upon a bed of pain,
and as the devoted watchers
stood around him and realized
tha*. the dark angel of death
was close by the way .threshold
beckoning to him with his paie
hands and stealing each quiver-
ing breath, many a prayer was
sent up to the Throne on'High
for him. All that medical skill
could do was done but all in
vain. God called him and he
crossed over the river, to dwell
in the Mansion of Clory.
We realize our precious one
has gone and his dear voice
has hushed forever, and we
know that there is a place
vacant in ou; hearts that can
never be filled.
He leaves a wife and eleven
children, four brothers and
one sister and many loved ones
to monrn his passing, but ouj
loss is his eternal gain for he is
now safe at home. It makes
my soul rejoice and my weary
heart tight when I think of the
dear loved ones over there.
Oh! you sad and weeping
ones, do not faint by the way
for you shall join your loved
one in that happy land. His
race is now won, his life work is
done, and though our hearts
are bowed with grief, we must
humbly bow and pass under the
rod and listen to that voice
that said, “No cross no crown.”
His body was laid to rest in
the County Line cemetery to
await the resurrection morning
