believed they might find a remedyftp
check the terrible malady.
One day he talked to the physician
in charge and found out that they
wished to inject some of the trachoma
virus into an eye to find out if it was
contagious or hereditary. If contag-
ious they could by isolation check its
ravages. This veteran offered his one
good eye for the experiment. He was
wairned that it might mean blindness
but he said he would risk it, that he
could not live long anyway and that
if he could save numberless children
from blindness it would be the only
thing left for him to do. The experi-
ment was tried and the fourth day
afterwards the doctor went to the
man’s cot to see the result. He took
the bandage from his eyes. The poor
fellow was adzed for a moment and
said: “Doctor, it was a failure. I am
blind.” But the doctor replied: “My
poor fellow, it t^as not a failure. We
have proved trachoma is contagious
and not hereditary. Now we can con-
quer it.” The man turned his sight-
less eyes toward' the doctor and said:
“Then I am content.”
It has been said of old “that he who
would save his life must lose it.”
This man will go through the rest of
his life in darkness but thousands of
children may save their sight because
this man lost his. And in the World

ed in the United Slatbs. The rank is
more impressive than the percentage,
but the fact remains that Texas is a
large fur producer and the signifi-
cance of this fact grows when it is
further revealed that the Texas .pro-
ton duction is- almost entirely from ani-
mals-that have'been produced by na-
y ture, almost entirely without artificial
aid. Texas has, of course, its game
laws which are being enforced with
increasing effectiveness, and this has
not only arrested declining game re-
sources of the State during the last
few years but has effected an increase.
However, the excellent climate and
natural cover found in East Texas,
on the Edwards Plateau, and in many
other parts of the State give Texas a
basis for a great expansion of its fur
industry through artificial propaga-
tion. It is largely through such meth-
ods that Pennsylvania and Illinois
rank ahead of Texas as fur producers
at present
There are a number of poorly de-
veloped industries in Texas with great
potentialities. They have their special
significance in this day of declining
cotton outlets. If the fur industry
could raise its annual value of pro-
duction from $3,000,000 to $15,000,000,
which could be done, it would com-
pensate for the release of about three
quarters of a million acres of land
from cotton cultivation. That would
leave too much cotton in cultivation,
if we are to become a “self sufficient”
Nation, but there are other indus-
tries susceptible of development.
Whether Texas loses her outside cot-
ton markets or not, the potentialities
of such a promising industry as fur
production in Texas should eventually
be developed,

OUR SAVIOR’S LUTHERAN
CHURCH OF NORSE
The committee appointed to ar-
range for date and program for cele-
brating Clifton’s new paved streets
decided It best to await the comple-
tion of the streets now under, con-
struction in residential section with
hopes of having more favorable weath-
er conditions and let one celebration do
for the entire street paving projects.
At a later date the time for the cele-
bration with suitable program will be
published in this paper.

Rain started falling here again
Tuesday morning after several fair
days intervened, giving the farmers
courage to believe they were to have
suitable weather to get ,their grain
sown. But many who had begun sow-
ing even though the ground was not
qute as dry as many thought neces-
sary, felt blue when the rain started
falling again Tuesday. It seems that
the farmers have had more difficulty
in getting grain sown this fall than
for many years because of excessive
rains in this section.

C. H. Harrison, district director
Works Progress Administration, Wa-
co, writes as follows: “It has come
to the attention of this office that in
certain localities the relief clients are
being charged for transportation to
and from the job. This is an obliga-
tion of the sponsors clearly set forth
in our bulletins and we believe has
been sufficiently clear in the various
discussions had between members of
this organization and the sponsors.
It is hoped that this will be sufficient
notice that this practice will be
stopped.”
It seems that even though many
people find fault with some of the
acts of the present democratic ad-
ministration, they still have faith and
give much praise to President Roose-
velt for his untiring efforts to restore
prosperity to the nation, and especial-
ly to the less fortunate citizens of
the land. With this abiding faith in
our president even though his admin
istration has been severely criticized
for some acts, it seems very certain
that the people will continue this great
man at the head of our government.
THE SIPPING DRIVER
Dallas Journal: Drunken driving
is commonly supposed to be the extent
of hard liquor’s ill effect upon motor
traffic. We need to be reminded that
this is not true. The Royal Society
of Medicine in London recently had
called to its attention that the nor-
mal vision of the peripheral retina
is materially reduced by slight use
of alcohol before central vision is
notably impaired. The taking of even
a little dilute alcohol cut down cen-
tral vision, in a recent Carnegie In-
stitute series of experiments, 2 per
cent, or practically not at all, while
the peripheral perception was dimin-
ished 11 per cent. The significance of
this you will see for yourself when
you consider how important it is that
you be able to see “out of the cor-
ner of your eye” when approaching
an intersection of city streets. This
is as true for the pedestrian as for
the driVer.
An article in the New York Times
calls attention to these findings and
reports that the danger of driving
even with a slight amount of alco-
hol consumed is not entirely due to the
restriction of vision thus brought
about, or even to that fact but the
further fact that reactions are also
slowed down, so that the sipping
driver sees less and is slower to do
something on the spur of what he does
see. The case is complicated because
the man who has had only a small
amount of intoxicant has a feeling of
more than usual confidence. He “feels
fine” and so is quite unconscious of
his defects due to alcoholic derange-
ment of his nervous reflexes. He
has the impression that he sees bet-
ter than usual and that he is mote
alert than usual. So he ventures, if
anything, more than usual.
The moral is that if you have any-
thing at all under your belt, you had
better take that into account and set
up delibearte precaution to counter-
act the inebriety but which is the
“kick” for which you had that some-
thing in the first place. In short, the
safe driver is the man on the water
wagon.
GEORGE M. PHILIPSON
George M. Philipson was born in
Reading, Pennsylvania, Dec. 12, 1851,
and died November 1, 1935, at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Annie
Lee. He was married to Percis Shaw
at Rome, Georgia, in 1872. To tins
union two children were born, Harry
S. Philipson of Cleburne, Texas, and
Mrs. Annie Lee of Clifton. He is also
survived by one sister, eight grand-
children and thirteen great grandchil-
dren.
Mr. Philipson professed faith in
Christ in 1873 and united with the
M. E. Church, South. He lived a con-
sistent and devoted life to the day
of his death, and was very active in
the church as long as he was able to
attend. Deceased was also a member
of the Masonic Lodge for fifty years.
He was a registered pharmacist for a
number of years of his life.
Mr. Philipson will be missed not only
by his family, but by the entire com-
munity in which he lived. Therefore
we can say with the poet:
“Servant of God, well done,
Thy glorious warfare past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won
And thou art crowned at last.”

Quite a number of football enthus-
iasts from this section were in Fort
Worth last Saturday to see the Rice-
,TCU game, and it is believed that
even a greater number will go to the
same city on Saturday of this week
to witness the game between TCU and
7, two of the best teams seen on
Aeld this year, according to
critics. Both these teams have gone
through the season untied and un-
defeated, and it really seems too bad
that either of them should lose. The
of this game will decide the
Conference championship,
lean that that team will be
getting the call to play
