THOUGHTS FOR
TODAY
In all things through-
out the world, the men
who look for the crook-
ed will see the crooked,
the men who look for
the straight will see the
straight —Buskin.
Good humor and good
nature, friends at home
that love you, and
friends abroad that
miss you—you possess
all these things. You
may extract honeyfrom
everything.
—-Charles Lamb.
Make friends and
your sales will take
care of themselves.
—Herbert Casson.
Life without a plan,
As useless as the mo-
ment it began
Serves merely as a soil
for discontent
To thrive in.
—Co"1 per.
Happiness belongs to
those who are content-
ed. —Aristotle.
It is more glorioua to
live for something with-
out fame, than to die
for something glorious-

swallowing Yesterday and
then being in turn swallowed
by Tomorrow.—Carlyle, in
“The French Revolution.”
Time, when well husbanded,

Rest While Working
In a little talk with Dr.
Paul Roth, of Battle Creek
Sanitarium, he told me what,
in his experience, is the best
key to rest. Doctor Roth knows
a great deal about the human
machine. He is the inventor
of the oxygen tent, and was a
pioneer in the development of
equipment for testing basal
metabolism. So his advice is
valuable.
Doctor Roth believes that
the best key to rest is found by
adding variety to one's activi-
ties—not in merely loafing and
doing nothing. He says that
the supreme secret of relaxa-
tion is in doing something one
likes to do, in producing
something one can bq proud of
—writing a poem, building a
bookcase, planting a garden.
Let’s take Doetor Roth’s
prescription and apply it to
our daily tasks. By liking our
work, by being proud of wbat
we produce—we actually will
learn to rest while working.
There can be aa great a
thrill in running a business as
in cultivating a garden. We
can be as proud of creating a
quality product as in raising a
perfect flower. And when we
approach our work in this
spirit we will - find fun and
relaxation in our jobs.—T h e
Silver Inning.
It Has Been Said of Success
The road to success is not to
be run upon by seven-league
boots.—Charles Buxton.
Everybody finds out, sooner
or later, that all success worth
having is founded on Christian
rules of conduct.—H. M.
Field.
In most things success de-
pends on knowing how long it
takes to succeed.—Montes-
quieu. 1
The eminently successful
man should beware of the ten-
dency of wealth to chill and
isolate.—Otto H. Kahn.
Character is the real foun-
dation of all worthwhile suc-
cess.—J. H. Hammond.
If a man can write a better
book, preach a better sermon,
or make a better mouse-trap
than his neighbor, though he
build his house in the woods,
the world will make a beaten
path to his door.—Emerson.
We can do anything we want
to do if we stick to it long
enough.—Helen Keller.
Army Contract
“Shine, please, boy,” said
the six-foot-five soldier to the
shoeblack.
The boy looked down at the
vast expanse of boot before
him. Then:—
“Bert," he called out to an-
other boy, "gimme a ’and—
I’ve got an Army contract!”—

fU IKHE
The Timpson school band,
under direction of instructor J.
I. Barron, pleased a large
crowd Friday evening in a well
rendered program in the city
band stand.
This was the first public ap-
pearance of the band, which
was organized less than two
months ago, and the program
presented Friday night reflect-
ed much credit upon the in-
structor and fine group of
mem beta. Each selection was
rendered perfectly and the
large crowd demonstrated
their approval with hearty ap-
plause.
The band staged a parade
through the business section of
town before beginning the
evening's program and to the
tune of a lively march gave a
splendid demonstration of the
drilling lessons they have been
through since organization.
The band will present a pro-
gram at Weaver school next
Friday night during a good-
will trip by the chamber of
commerce to that community,
it has been announced.
Trouble For Cotton
Growers Nothing
New, Records Show
Austin, Tex.—Texas cotton
troubles and panaceas for
world ailments are nothing
new. The University of Texas
library can take you back
109 years in a flash of their
rare-volome files to an early
version of the same story.
It was back in the early
1850’s and an East Texas cot-
ton grower was sitting in an
Austin hotel, spitting in the
fire and talking about cotton.
A northern traveler listened
in and later wrote of the con-
versation in a now-rare com-
mentary on Tex&3, published
in 1859.
"Bad luck he had had,” the
visitor wrote at the cotton
farmer; “and next year he
didn’t reckon nothing else but
that there would be a general
war in Europe, and then he’d
be in a pretty fl: . with cotton
down to four cents a pound.
“Curse those Turks! . . .
There always were some infer-
nal rascals somewhere in the
world trying to prevent an
honest man from getting a
living.
“Oh, if they got to fighting,
he hoped they’d eat each oth-
er up,” the' traveler wrote.
'They just ought to be, all of
them—Turks and Russians,
and Prussians, and Dutchmen
and Frenchmen—just be put In
a bag together and slung into
hell! That’s what he'd do with
them.”
A few days later he met a
German farmer who express-
ed “the greatest fear lest the
sovereigns should not permit a
general war to take place,
with its chances for the peo-
ple.”
The German farmer and the
cotton-grower got their wish.
It was the Russo-Tnrkish war
of 1853-56.
Unluckieri Block for Dag*
Fort Wayne, Did. (UP)—
Sherman street only one block
long, is probably the unlnekiest
stretch of pavement in the na-
tion for dogs. Humane authori-
ties report that six dogs were
struck by automobiles in the
space of two hours.
United States farmers have
enough grains in 1940, includ-
ing Eyer-Normal Granary re-
serves, to produce 78 pounds
of pork for every me of the
132,000,000 people in the na-
tion or 14 pounds more than
each person ate in 1939.

College Staton, Tex.—All
cotton used as security for
government loans in 1940 will
be classed by official boards of
cotton examiners of the Agri-
cultural Marketing Service.
Used for the first time in
193% this system of classing
cotton will avoid any inequities
among producers whose loan
cotton formerly was graded
by warehousemen and indivi-
dual licensed classers, and
only slightly more time will be
required for approval of the
loans, Donald L. Cothran, state
AAA committeeman from
Paris, pomts out.
The class placed on cotton
by a boa^d will be Aral, thus
avoiding for the producer any
expense or inconvenience for
reelssring and for making de-
ficiency payments for over-
classing. In addition, the cost
will be only 15 cents per bale
as compared with the usnal
charge of 25 cents per bale un-
der other procedures.
“The uniform and reliable
classing by the boards will
give the producer information
of value in negotiating with
buyers for the eventual sale of
his equity or his co . ,n,” the
state committeeman said. "The
Increased value of such class-
ing will more than offset any
inconvenience arising from the
additional time needed.”
On delivery of cotton to the
warehouse for the Commodity
Credit Corporation loan, sam-
ples will be drawn by the
warehouseman and shipped to
the nearest central claming of-
fice. The samples wilt be class-
ed and each bale listed on s
special form signed by the
board and returned to the pro-
ducer. Loan values will be
based on the class shown ' on'
this form. The Agricultural
Marketing Service predicts
samples will be classed usually
within 86 hours and at the
longest 72 hours.
