Writing a “column” is no picnic, j
If you print jokes, folks say ycu
are silly; it you don’t they say you j
are too serious. If you stay m the i
oifice;^you cipht to be out rustling
news; jf you get' out. ycu are not
attending to business in the office. \
If you wear old clothes you are
broke; if you wear new clothes, •
they are not paid for. What in I
thunder is a poor columnist to do, i
anyhow? Like as not, someone will j
say I swiped this from some paper, j
I did,.
Pretty Martha Mitchell, Queen of the Gardenia Festival at the famous
Cypress Gardens in Florida, has just put her royal seal of approval on the
Chevrolet Convertible Cabriolet—the outdoor car—by purchasing a new one
for her own use. Ever willing to oblige by posing for the hundreds of camera
fans who consider the Gardens a mecca for picture-taking, Queen Martha can
now reach location quickly and flood herself with sunshine by rolling back the
vacuum-operated top at the touch of a dash button.

The recent reunion of Texas |
veterans of tii.e Spanish war brings |
to mind a speech made at such a f
gathering by eloquent Ralph Yar- j
borough of Austin:
I am proud to be privileged to j
meet here today with Americans j
who marched under Fitzhugh Lee j
and fighting Joe Wheeler in Cuba; !
who conquered Porto Rico under
General Nelson Miles; who captur- j
edl Manila with General Merritt, j
who charged with Colonel Leonard
J Wood and' Colonel Theodore Roose- J
I velt and their Rough Riders at San
j Juan Fill; who sailed with Dewey
at Manila, and with Schley and j
Sampson at Santiago; and with j
Captain Philip on the Battleship |
Texas when he humanely said,
“Don’t cheer, boys; the poor devils I
are dying.” You served with Lieut. |
Rowan, who carried the message to }
Garcia; and you heard tlhie explos- I
ion of torpedoes when Hobson sank (
the Merrimac. Truly, you remem- i
bered the Maine!
No mere summer patriots or sun- I
shine soldiers could have endured
the hardships. You fought with
black powder, impure food, anti-
quated guns and poor equipment

The heaviest death rate an Amerj- the world that lives under a writ-

You marched through the streets
of tlbe cholera-ridden Philippine

i Your devotion and bravery gave
j to this nation Porto Rico, Guam,
j the Philippines, Hawaii and many
smaller islands and many seas. The
property value of these islands has
been placed at eight billion dollars.
But the worth of the property that
you won is incalculable in today’s
world. You gave the American navy
resting places in the itwo great
oceans. Your islands are America’s
life belt. They protect the Panama
canal; they guard the cross roads
of the Pacific. Without these fruits
of your victories, Japan would be at
cur doorstep. With your victories,
we have Japan on a leash.
You had the vision to secure is-
lands suitable (for air bases before
•trie airplane was invented. Had
these islands remained Spanish
property, they would' today be un-
der control of the Axis powers and
our national destiny.
You volunteered not- alone for the
struggle but for all time. You never
retreated in your battle; you will
naturally oppose any retreat by the
American flag today. Where your
valor planted the flag, it must're-
main. There shall be no Munich of
tire Monroe Doctrine. International
l'ree-booters who attempt to plow
the Spanish Maine with ships of
terror and hate will find the spirit
of Dewey and Schley and Sampson
on guard.
This-andrThat: Existence is filled
with ironic surprise. A Dallas news-
paperman studied the life of Pan-
da o Villa and! was in the miidist of
wiring a book when, one day, he
saw a biography of the famous
Mexican leader on sale—another
writer had beaten him to the
punch. Later, the movies bought
the film rights to the book for a
fortune and my friend had to pay
50 cents to see a picture that could
have meant thousands of dollars to
him . . A Texas admirer of tlhie
thoroughbreds writes that Gen Phil
Sheridan was the f^rst president
of the Amarican Jockey Club; Gen.
U. S.. Gram once served as presid-
ing steward at a race meet; George
Washington, Andrew Jackson and
Woodrow Wilson liked to see races.
“Racing is a great sport; thousands
of good citizens would like to see it
come back to Texas,” and the
letter concludes . . , Tom Watson
of Georgia had a watermelon nam-
ed lor him. What a delicious form
of fame—as my grandpa ust to say.

(Editor’s Note: Under the spon-
sorship of the University of Texas,
Mr. Owens plans to build a library
cf phonograph records and manu-
scripts cf Texas folk songs. The
collection will be available for pub-
lic use. Those who have other sons
to add to the collection of requests
for other songs to appear in the
column should write to Mr. Owens
direct).
Although fox hunting has been a
sport in East Texas for generations,
there have been no traditional
songs about the sport that can be
identified as American. The one fox
hunting son I have found has all
the evidence of English origin, and
it is used now not as a cry to the
hounds but as a comic song to
amuse children. •
Mrs. Dock Eason, who lives in the
Caney Head settlement and who
sang the song for me, said that the
song had been in her family for
three generations.
Old Fodder 1j f jfft
The first was a teamster ^
A-gearing up his team,
He said, he saw old Rambler
Go floating down8 stream.
Chorus:
Run a woop woop, woop old!
Fodder
All in the morning sand,
Tuma ran an dan
Turn a diffy diffy dan
And away we’ll roll all over;
Turn a ah tee tee
And a u tee oh |
And a fougalee
And through the weeds we’ll run,,
our boys,
And through the woods we’ll run
them.
The next was a blind man
As blind as ihe could be;
He said he saw old Rambler
Go in a hollow tree.
The next was a maiden
A-combing her golden lock,
She said she saw old Rambler
Go in her geese and flecks.
The word “Rambler’ is probably
a substitution for “Reynard,” which
has been lost from the colloquial'
language of rural Texas.
The Language of Love
Set Forth in A Song
Much insight into the traditional
language of love can be gained from
“Love It is A Folly,” which was
sung by Doc Eason of the Caney
Head community. The rhyming of
“folly” with “melancholy” and “tur-
tle” with “myrtle” was engaing the
minds of lovers before the time of
Shakespeare. In fact, the aforemen-
) tioned song may be possibly go back
to a time earlier than that.
Love It is A Felly
Love it is a folly that dwells within
my breast
It makes me melancholy so I can
take no rest.
Since i cannot, then I must not,
No, I darest not keep her company.
I wish I was a swallow, I’d fly into
the air,
I’d, search the windows of heaven
to see if my true love was there,
Since I cannct, then I must not,
No, I darest not keep her company.
I wish I were a turtle, I’d build a
rawbone nest.
And Pick some sprigs of myrtle and
and lay across her breast,
I’d take her in my cold frozen arms,
And, oh, how happy we would be
Since I cannct .then I must not,
No, and I darest not keep her com-
pany.
