SUPERINTENDENT CLARK
SEEKS RE-ELECTION
When you help boost your town and
make it a better place in which to
live, you help yourself and all the
community.
You have probably seen the big
street light on a poet at the street
crossings near Simmons Service Sta-
tion on the highway. It shows up fine.
Material is on the ground for a
cheese factory for Hamilton. This
plant is being built by Charles Eck,
owner and operator of the Hamilton
Light and lee Company.
The local junior college cagers fin-
ished their 1928 home stand this week
by dropping two hard contests to
Decatur Baptist College. Monday
night fans were treated to a full
evening of thrills. Those who watched
Tommy Hutcherson in his fierce man-
euvers certainly got their money’s
worth. He was everywhere, guarding
like a really infuriated cat. His co-
worker at the guarding job “Curly”
Jenson, also caught the spirit and the
prettiest guarding game ever put out
by a Clifton teafa resulted. So the
game ended in a tie at 21. In the ex-
tra period though, the visitors scored
6 points to Clifton’s three, giving the
decision to Decatur 27 to 24.
Tuesday night the teams again met
in a hotly contested game. Clifton
started strong with field goals by
Jackson and Jenson, and a few gift
shots sprinkled in between. This how-
ever changed before the end of the
half when the visitors led by 5 points,
In the second half Farmer got going
and sank 4 field goals, but Decatur
was not to be denied. They played a
fine game and won 84 to 20. Lewis
and Barksdale of the visitors led the
attack for Decatur.
Clifton will finish the basketball
schedule at Weatherford on Friday
and Saturday of this week. To date
Clifton had won 4 and lost 5 confer-
ence games.

A. D. Clark, who is now serving his
first term as county superintendent
of Bosque county, was in Clifton
Wednesday and authorized the Rec-
ord to place the formal announce-
ment of his candidacy for re-election
in its political column subject to the
action of the Democratic primary.
Mr. Clark is an educator of wide
experience and needs no introduction
to the people of Bosque county. For
14 years before his election to this
office two years ago, he served as
superintendent of Bosque county city
schools—at Morgan, Walnut Springs,
and Meridian—and his thorough
knowledge of the conditions and needs
of the schools of the county has been
used to frequent advantages of the
schools during his present term in of-
fice. His record and experience, his
friends feel, best qualifies him and
merits for him continuation in the
office.
In asking for re-election, Mr. Clark
promises to continue to give his best
efforts to advance the educati nal af-
fairs of the county. He will personally
call on as many of the voters as un-
interrupted performance of his official
duties will permit, and meanwhile in'
vites investigation of his record and
solicits your support and influence.

It is somewhat unfortunate that in
much of the current discussions of
thrift undue emphasis is placed on the
function of penny-saving.
Certainly no criticisms can be lev-
eled at the doctrine of economy in
little things. Most business failures
as well as those which come to indi-
viduals are the results of small item3
of waste. However, true thrift only
begins with small savings. If this
were not true, one would be forced to
commend the practice of the miser.
As the result of constant exhorta-
tions to save pennies and nickels and
dimes, many persons receive such an
erroneous impression of thrift, that
they decide to have none of it.
Thrift should be emphasized as a
practice which means real progress
and rightful upbuilding. Of course,
this includes saving little things. It
is thrifty to save the pennies. It is
just as thrifty to save the moments,
to be careful of one’s health; to store
the mind with useful knowledge; to
keep one’s self sound mentally and
physically as well as financially.
It is for this reason that In schools
where savings bank3 are in operation
there should also be instructions
given to the young on the true pur-
poses and objectives of thrift. Con-
tinually harping upon the point of
saving pennies is quite apt to have
one Ot two major actions: (1) There
is danger that the student will de-
velop a narrow, tight-fisted, mercen
ary, avaricious attitude. (2) There Is
danger thrtt the whole subject of
thrift will Seem so trite and colorless
that he will pay no attention to It.
Thrift does nfean penny-saving but
only as part of tbs’ greater plan of
eliminating all wasto in order to pro-
mote the highest possible degree of
personal efficiency and usefulness.

JOSH BILLINGS ON MARRIAGE
By all means, Joe, get married, if
you have a fair show. Don’t stand
shiwering on the bank, but pitch rite
in, stick youf head under and shiwer
it out Thar ain’t any more trick in
getting married than there is in eat-
ing peanuts. Many a man has stood
shiwering on the bank until the river
ruh out. Don’t expect to marry an
angel—they have all been picked up.
long ago. Remember, Joe,, you ain’t
a taint yourself. Do hot marry for
beauty exclusively; beautiy is like Ice,
awfully slippery and thaws dreadfully
easy. Don’t Warry for love, neither;
love is like a cooking stove, good for
nothing when the ftfel gives out. But
let the mixture be some beauty, with
about $250 in her pocket, $ good spell-
er, handy and neat in her house with
plenty of good sense, tough cdMtitm-
tlon and by-laws, small feet, a light
step; add to that sound teeth an4 si
warm heart. The mixture will keejf
in any climate and will not evaporate.
Don't marry for pedigree unless it’s
backed by bank notes.
