THOUGHTS FOR
TODAY
1 will govern my life
and my thoughts as if
the whole world were
to see the one and read
the other.—Seneca.
No man ever did a
designed injury to an-
other, bnt at the same
time he did a greater to
to himself. — Home.
Enthusiasm is the
breath of genius.
—Disraeli.
Behold, the Lord God will
come with strong hand, and
his arm shall rule for him: be-
hold, his reward is with him,
and his work before him.—Isa.
40:10.
_ •
All the good maxims
have been written. It
only remains to put
them into practice.
—Pascal.
If you would be *
pungent, be brief. With *
words as sunbeams— *
the more they are eon- *
denied the deeper they •
burn.—Southey. *
Human “Mack Trucks’
While driving over a sand-
road detour the wheels of my
car dropped into a deep rut
Putting on the power and try-
ing to get out only caused the
wheels to dig in deeper. In a
short time the car was up to
the axles in the sand and mud.
There I was, sunk in the rut,
and unable to help myself I
And then, just when I had
decided to walk to the nearest
telephone and call for help, a
big Mack truck came along. It
lifted my car out of the rut as
though it were a toy! In no
time I was on my way again.
Men often need something
bigger than themselves to lift
them out of the rut, too. Work-
ing under their own power
alone, they seem to dig them-
selves deeper into the sands of
failure. Faith, friendship, in-
spiring books, appreciation,
the council of wise men .. .
these are some of the bigger
things that help to lift men
out of ruts.
To play the part of Human
“Mack Trucks” and, through
encouragement, inspiration
and the helping-hand, to lift
men out of the ruts and to put
them hack on the highway of
happiness, is to make life a
glorious adventure.—The Sil-
ver Lining.
Proverbs and Sayings About
Fear
He who fears a sparrow wDl
never sow millet.—Russian
Proverb.
Our fears are always more
numerous than our dangers.—
Seneca.
When one has seen the bear
is the woods, he hears him
growl in every bush.—Ger-
man Proverb.
Fear is the tax that con-
science pays to guilt.—
Sewell.
Fears always spring from
ignorance.—Emerson.
He who fears being con-
quered is sure of defeat.-
Napoleon.
The Decline of the Cities
Half our fears are baseless
and the other half discredit-
able.—Bovee.

“Cold" Answer
Some years ago, a hold, talk-
ative young man boarded a
train in New Orleans, and to a
fellow passenger of quite,
modest demeanor began to
talk about the long journey on
which he had embarked.
“I am bound clear through
to Louisville,” he exclaimed.
“I know I shall be very tired
by the time I get there.”
“Oh, I hope not,” replied
his companion.
“Yes, I am sure I will be,”
insisted the young traveler,
“and I am sure you would be
too, if you took such a long
trip. By the way, where are
you going?”
“To the North Pole,” was
the reply.
The speaker was Robert E.
Peary. — Christian Science
Monitor.
Air Conditioned
Wife: "Didn't you say it
was very warm at the base-
ball game, Henry?”
Henry: “Yes, dear. I did.”
‘T don’t understand that,
this newspaper says that fans
filled most of the seats.”—Ex.
Of Course
Two Chicago women, visit-
ing New Orleans, saw then-
first Spanish moss. They could
not imagine what it was. They
pulled some off the trees and
discussed it at esgth and final-
ly one concluded the conver-
sation by saying:
“It must be some of that
Mardi Gras we’ve read about.'
Share Bans
Barber; “Hair cut?”
Farmer (in chair): “Yes.”
Barber: “How do you want
it cut?”
Farmer: ‘Tm not particu-
lar.”
Barber: "Til cut it any way
you like.”
Farmer: “That’s s bargain.
Cut it on shares. You can have
half the hair for your work.”
-The Chaser.
Frankness
Candidate: “How did you
like my speech on the agricul-
tural problem?”
Farmer: “Twarn’t bad; but
a good day’s rain would do a
heap more good.”—Santa Fe
Magazine.
Heard in Court
“Can you give me an exact
description of the man you
saw?”
“Oh, yes, he was about
average height, with very or-
dinary features and nonde-
script-colored hair. He was
wearing the usual sort of
clothes,”—Tit-Bits.
Life an the Rond!
First Car-Owner: “Beauti-
ful weather we’ve been hav-
ing these last week ends.”
Second Car-Owner (sigh-
ing) : "Yes, 1 wish it wonld
rain. I’m tired of hamburgers
and hot dogs.”—Exchange.
Opposite*
“What is the opposite of
sorrow?” asked the teacher.
"Joy,” answered the lad.
“And the opposite of
misery T”.
“Happiness,” said the pu-
pil.
"What is the opposite of
woe?”
“Giddap,” was the response.
—Consolidator.
It is of more than passing in.
t erect to note that tile growth
of large cities, in the United
States has been definitely
cheeked. Either people are
moving away from the cities or
fewer are moving to them.
Census figures so far compiled
and reported show that the to-
tal increase in population in
more than 100 cities is less
than 5 percent in the past ten
years. The same cities grew
nearly 25 percent in popula-
tion in the preceding ten year
period.
New York’s count this year
showed a 400,000 increase
over 1930, but Chicago gained
only 8,000 and Philadelphia
actually lost 15,000 people. St
Louis and Pittsburgh also
counted fewer heads. Detroit
and Baltimore have gained
population, hut nowhere near
so rapidly as before.
There is little doubt that the
cause of the decline of the big
cities is due to the automobile
and the better highways lead-
ing to the smaller towns and
suburbs When the figures are
ell in we shall doubtless see a
great increase in the size of
the “satellite" communities
within easy motoring distance
of the bigger communities.
Comparatively few people live
in the large cities from choice;
they are forced by necessity to
live close to their work. Those
who can live in a suburb and
motor to and from town do so.
There are no complete fig-
ures of the farm population as
of 1940 yet available. It seems
doubtful that they will show
any great increase. The ten-
dency for many years has been
the other way. Bnt there is no
indication, so far, of material
decline in the strictly rural
towns which depend largely
upon the farming regions for
their business. The automo-
bile has greatly enlarged the
trading area of such communi-
ties. They are the most sub-
stantial of all American insti-
tutions.
Listen From Within
Thomas Edison’s deafness
was not a handicap—it proved
to be one of the secrets of his
success. “It has been a bless-
ing to me,” he said “because it
has forced me to listen from
within.”
When you “listen from
within” you draw on your sub-
conscious mind. You put to
work your great storehouse of
recorded impressions. Emerson
recommended that every man
should have a Quiet Room
away from noise, distraction
and confusion where he can
be silent and think. Steinmetz
had a shack in the woods. So
did Elbert Hubbard, Thoreau,
and other great thinkers.
The gnat scientist Von
Helmholts divided creative
thin king into four steps: Prep-
aration, Incubation, Illumina-
tion and Veri&cstion. Incuba-
tion means to relax and “listen
from within.” Then comes the
illumination—the flash of In-
spiration.
Those who work only with
their conscious minds are shal-
low thinkers. To plumb the
depths, to soar to the heights,
we must learn to “listen from
within.”—The Silver Lining.
NEW GASSER
REPORTED IN
JOAQUIN AREA
Longview, Tex., Aug. 17.—
New wildcat oil tests were
staked in Csss and San Augus-
tine counties during the week
ended Aug. 17, while opera-
tors centered their attention
scheduled production tests
at wildcat or outpost wells in
Rusk, Shelby, Limestone and
Freestone counties.
Also of wide interest was
progress being made on impor-
tant tests in Gregg, Upshur,
Morris and Wood counties.
In Shelby county, the north-
east outpost in the Joaquin gas
field, Union Producing Co. No.
1-A Garrett, Moody survey,
was showing gas production
from the Glen Rose through
perforations at 4,828-42 and
at 4,864-4,907. Total depth
was 5,081 feet.
The southeast Shelby county
deep test of Superior Oil at
Tulsa No. 3 Pickering, Haley
survey, was reported to have
had a gas blowout in the Glen
Rose section at about 4,900
feet, but controlled the blow
and drilled ahead below 5,110
feet at the week-end.
ANYWAY, THIS IS A
FISH STORY
“The frozen foods industry
and cold storage lockers are
knocking the calendar qut of
the farming game,” says C. E.
Bowles, specialist in coopera-
tive marketing with the Texas
A. and M. Extension Service,
who predicts that quick freez-
ing and the locked will
change the nation's eating
habits.
Milk, claret and whiskey
were more common beverages
than water in early Texas,

records show.
mum sum!
Port Arthur, Tex. (UP)—
Without hooks, lines and bait
four boy scout? and their mas-
ter caught 28 trout ranging in
size from 10 inches to 14
inches long.
This yarn would have sound-
ed Kke a fish story had it not
come from the scouts them-
selves whose code of honor
has something to fay about
untnithfulness.
At any rate, Scoutmaster
Clem Wall, Gilbert Hebert,
Don Carton, 'Bill Nacol and
Keenth Webb tell the follow-
ing story.
The group was camping on
village creek and pu’led their
boat up a small stream feed-
ing the creek.
It swung backwards and
across the stream, cornering a
large school1 of trout. The
fish attempted to ge+ back in-
to the stream from shallow
water, jumping over and into
the boat and up on the bank.
The boys grabbed the boat
and had fish supper that night.
' “B sounds alnfcfet illegal.”
Wall admitted, •%«* „fter all,
about all we did was defend
ourselves.
