How are your New Year’s reso-
lutions standing the wear by this
time? ***

An encouraging thing is that no
business failures were recorded in
this' town with the coming of the
new year.

The person who resolves to do his
dead level best during 1932 and does
it will do more to bring prosperity
than he will be able to do in any other
way.

The British government has the
last few days given evidence of its
determination to use iron-hand meth-
ods in dealing with its Indian prob-
lem by the arrest and imprisonment
of Gandhi, leader of the Nationalists,
and Patel, President of the Indian
Congress. It is to be seen whether
Gandhi behind prison bars will retard
or advance the Nationalist cause.

Gov. Alfalfa Bill Murray of Okla-
homa thinks that the next president
of the United States should have the
courage of Andrew Jackson, the sym-
pathy of Abraham Lincoln and the
vision of Thomas Jefferson.—McKin-
ney Courier-Gazette.
And it is evident that Gov. Murray
is convinced that he is the only man
in whom these qualities are com-
bined.

The explosion of a bomb sent
through the mails killed two postal
employes at Eaton, Pa., and a bomb
specialist called in to inspect a pack-
age at that post office was so serious-
ly injured that he died. The postal j
department is making one of the most
thorough investigations of the send-
ing of these bombs that it has ever
undertaken. It is to be hoped that
the perpetrators of these dastardly
deeds will be apprehended and pun-
ished.

As has been the case many times
in the past, a woman was responsi-
ble for the undoing of a band of Chi-
cago kidnappers. Mrs. Max Gecht,
who was held hostage by the band of
kidnappers for some days after the
release of her husband on payment
of $2,000 ransom, found that one of
"the gang had become enamoured of
her. Playing her part, the woman in-
formed the police, and when the ban-
dit met her at a designated place he
soon realized that men apparently
working on wires at the spot were of-
ficers and found himself a prisoner.
Through information given by him a
band of thirty have been arrested.
It took a great deal of courage to
perform the part of this woman, and
as is often the case, this courage was
found in one of the “weaker sex.”

Bedtime Announcement
Three-year-old Nancy’s father had
installed a new radjo. Napcy listened
with rapt attention to everything—
music, speeches and station announce-

That night she knelt to say her
“Now I lay me.” At the end she
paused for a moment and said:
“Tomorrow night at this time there
will be another prayer.”

EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE
*****
When hatred flares up reason is
dethroned, and serious trouble may
come out of trivial things. For in-
stance three Japanese soldiers at-
tacked American Consul Culver B.
Chamberlin Saturday and battered his
face. It is believed the attack was
provoked by the fact that the Consul
attempted to speak to the soldiers in
the language of the Chinaman, whom
the Japs just now hate. The soldiers
did not understand English and
Chamberlin did not speak Japanese,
so he attempted to express himself in
Chinse. A lukewarm apology was
forthcoming from the Japanese gov-
ernment and the affair is probably
closed, though out of just such things
very serious consequences often come.
I take this opportunity to express
my heart-felt gratitude to my frienus
who have so kindly given me their
patronage during my stay in Celina.
It has been a pleasure to have known
and served you whenever it was my
privilege, and I shall always have a
friendly feeling in my heart for the
people of Celina.
In behalf of my sister, Mrs. R. C.
Stone, I ask all of those who find it
convenient to continue their patron-
age of her, and I know you will not
find her any less appreciative than I.
My future plans are not definitely
made, but I expect to enjoy being
with my family in Denton.
J. B. Bush.
“Could you learn to love me?”
asked the young man.
“Well” sighed the young lady, “I
learned shorthand in three weeks.”
Human Ostrich
Lady—“But didn’t I give -you a
cake last week?”
Beggar—“Yes ma’am.”
Lady—“And you are here again?”
Beggar—“Yes ma’am, your cake
was nothing to me. I used to be a
sword swallower.”
Tackled Too High-
(onvict (reading newspaper) —
“Jere’s justice for yer! A football
player breaks two men’s jaws and
another man’s leg and is de lion of de
hour, while I gets ten years for only
stunnin’ an old guy with a blackjack.”

“What do you mean by coming in
at this hour,”
“I didn’t mean to come home at this
hour, but the darn place was raided.”
—Judge.
Elegy in a Traffic Jam
The curfew tolls the knell of parting
day,
A line of cars winds slowly o’er the
lea,
A pedestrian plods his absent-minded
way
And leaves the world quite unex-
pectedly.—California Highways.
Would Never Do
‘Yes,” said Mrs. Penn, “I was sor-
ry to reject Mr. Hogg. He’s a nice
fellow, but I couldn’t bear to see my
marriage announced under the head-
line, ‘Hogg-Penn.’ ”
Get Down and Dig
Football Coach (to players)—“And
remember that football developes in-
dividuality, iniative, and leadersip.
Now get in there and do just what I
tell you.”—Life.

“Gus,” said Bill, as he caught up

“Why don’t you wait for me,” he

“I’m waiting for you,” replied
Grandfather, slowing up a bit and
turning around.
“Well,” said the panting youngster,
“you aren’t waiting very fast.”—New

What’s New
In the New Chevrolet Six
When you read what's new in the new Chev-
“iir rolet Six, you, too, will agree it’s the Great
American Value for 1932. Syncro-Mesh and Free Wheel-
ing combined for the first time in a 1 ow-priced car! Engine • you will find in the new Chevrolet Six at one of the lowest
and chassis improvements that raise performance to new
heights of power, speed and smoothness! The finest
Fisher bodies Chevrolet has ever introduced. And the
same qualities of reliability and economy that have won
the approval of millions of Chev olet owners. All these
prices in the market! That’s why the new Chevrolet Six
is called the Great American Value for 1932!
Syncro-Mesh Transmission
Syncro-Mesh permits you to shift
gears with marvelous quickness,
quietness and ease. It even enables
you to shift rapidly from high back
into secqpd, any time you want to
use the braking force of the engine.
A Smoother, Improved
Six-Cylinder Engine
Chevrolet now has down-draft car-
buretion, hew cylinder head, mani-
folding, counter-balanced crankshaft
and rubber mounting, increasing
power 20 per cent to 60 horsepower.
Simplified Free Wheeling
To take advantage of Chevrolet’s
Free Wheeling, simply press a button
on the dash. Until you pull it out
again, you “Free Wheel.” You
coast when your foot is off the accel-
erator. You shift with magical ease.
65 to 70 Miles an Hour with
Faster Acceleration
Vital new features in Chevrolet’s
six-cylinder engine enable it to
develop 65 to 70 miles an hour. Stop-
watch tests show an acceleration
from 0 to 35 miles in 6.7 seconds.
Stabilized Front-End Mounting
Chevrolet’s exclusive method of
mounting front fenders, lamps,
double tie-bar and radiator securely
to the frame stabilizes the front-
end and insures steadiness when
traveling over rough roads.
