mo writing that night. I
bars:, picked up a copy of
.r^! Quotations and began to
"y. here and there. Then
£ mudenly, I saw this, quoted from
(Boswell’s life of Johnson:
“Tom Birch is as brisk as a bee
in conversation; but no sooner
> N does ho take a pen in his hand,
\ .than il becomes a torpedo to him.
'Sind benumbs all his faculties."
Poor Tom! I know just how he

Elilm Root said: “True love of
country is not mere blind parti-
sanship. It is regard for the peo-
j)le of one’s country and all of
•hem; it is a feeling of fellowship
and brotherhood for all of them;
it is a desire for the prosperity
and happiness of all of Ihem; it
js kindly and considerate judg-
ment toward all of them. The es-
sential condition of true progress
is that it shall be based upon
grounds of reason, and not of pre-
judice."
f Hatred, then, of any of our ra-
cial or religious groups hns no
place in the heart of the true pa-
triot. If you are a Christian and
hate Jews, or if you are a Jew and
Cate Christians, you fall just that
far short of holding true love for
America in your heart; just as
you likewise fall short if you are
white and hate Negroes, or if you
'•e a Negro and hate white peo-
ple. We here in this America that
is the “world’s lasL. best hope,"
have far too much at stake to
permit ourselves to become Euro-
peanized by petty hates, fears and
jealousies of our fellow-couutry-
men who speak with an accent or
whose skin is not the color of our
own.
Mrs. Ethel Bell, 61, of Allen
was instantly killed at 11:30 Wed-
nesday morning and Mrs. Joe
Bridges of the same place, was
critically injured when an automo-
bile in which the two women were
riding was struck at a crossing in
Allen by a train. The accident oc-
curred across the afreet from the
home of Mrs. Roscoe Leach, sister
"f Mrs. Bell, as the sisters were
preparing for a birthday celebra-
tion. Mrs. Bell was the daughter
of the late George Whitworth.
Mrs. Bridges was taken to the
McKinney hospital in a critical
condition.

I heard a lucal man say the oth-
er day that if you pick a pig up
by the tail he won’t squeal. “Pick
him up by the leg. or any way ex-
cept by the tail," my informant
said, “and he will usually squeal
his head off, but he’s as quiet as a
mouse if you grab his tail, and lift
him by that." I wont vouch for
this gem of pig-lore—it's just
hearsay, and I don't intend to ex-
periment any. However, in the in-
terest of the advancement of sci-
ence, I’ll be glad to print any in-
formation any of the local pig-
~ estlers can volunteer on the sub-
ject.
