In Achieving
My theory is that almost

he will, hy getting the utmost
possible service out of the
qualities that he actually pos-
sesses.—Theodore Roosevelt.
Mrs. Gertrude E. Fox has
become a successful mink
breeder. After spending a
year visiting several mink
ranches about the country to
learn how to care for and feed
these valuable fur-bearing ani-
mals, she settled down to rais-
ing a species native to Labra-
dor. The first year she raised
seventy-five. Since then she
has averaged 2,500 a year.
She has a ranch at Garland.
Maine, making a specialty of
breeding animals for stock and
selling them for $15 to $30 as
pelts and $100 for breeding
purposes. The sturdiest ani-
mals are kept for breeding
purposes and those which de-
velop some weakness, such as
nervousness, are sold for their
skins.

Sue Sanders, “Mother'' San-
ders to a great many people,
made a fortune in oil, lost that
and made another, and now
has a plan for repatriating her
own folk, the migrant work-
ers of Oklahoma and Texas.
She wants to get them back on
land in their own states.
She herself picked cotton as
a child, but she says that the
migrants will have to do more
than just plant cotton when
they are back in their native
states. They’ll have to plant
vegetables and raise meat, and
they’ll get along. Mother San-
ders is the author of “The
Common Herd.”

Old Shady Grove is still being
remembered by lots of good
people. Sunday morning, Aug.
25, all the children and a num-
ber of the grandchildren of
Uncle Press and Aunt Winnie
Ramsey gathered at the
church for a reunion and what
a grand time we all had togeth-
er.
Lunch was spread on the
table about 1 o’clock and ev-
eryone enjoyed a feast.
Not only relatives but lots
of the Ramseys’ friends were
with them to rejoice in their
get-together. We all hope and
pray for another just such a
happy occasion next year.
In the afternoon all gather-
ed in the church where old
hymns were sung and good
talks were made. This writer
is so glad to have had the
grand opportunity to enjoy
this day with the good family
of Uncle Press and Aunt Win-
nie Ramsey. (
The ladies of this communi-
ty and Silas community met at
Aunt Omie Ramsey’s Tuesday
and made her two new mat-
tresses out of old ones.
Sunday school at this place
is doing good. Small in num-
ber but still faithful and pray-
ing for it to grow. We have
services every first Sunday by
Rev. Tunnell. We invite ar.y
of our friends to come and
worship with us on this day.
The school children will be-
gin their school work next
Monday at Timpson.

Gaibreath are in Dallas for a

M. Harrison and other rela-
tives. The oldest son, a grad-
uate of State University, has

Such a pity that man—the
outstanding creation of God,
who given the gTeat power of
reasoning and to whom He
said : “Have thou dominion,”
instead of using that great
force in rebuilding and in re-
creating, health, prosperity
and peace and because of a
few misguided leaders as to
having dominion, we live in a
war-tom world and must be
prepared to meet the foe.
It seems that Nero reigns
again.
I am still hoping for peace.

SEE US FOR YOUR
PISTON RING NEEDS
We offer a nice line of
Perfect Circle Products
There’s a lot more to piston
ring performance than the
ability to stop oil pumping.
Lots of piston rings will do
that. But keeping the “lubri-
cation level" high is something
else again. Perfect Circle
Rings maintain the highest
possible “lubrication level”—
at the top of the cylinder.
We feature Perfect Circle
Piston Rings.

Praising God for Hi* Blessings
Lesson for September 1
Psalm 103:1-6; 10-18
Golden Text: Psalm 103:2
On a day of fasting and
prayer in a New England col-
ony an old man arose, pointed
to the many blessings the peo-
ple enjoyed and moved to
amend by making the day one
of thanksgiving and praise.
The people still had need of
prayer but the old colonist was
right in reminding them that
they should praise God for the
many blessings he had given.
We should not come before
God only to ask him for some-
thing. We should also come
with the language of praise.
In the beautiful 103rd Psalm
the poet calls upon his soul to
bless the Lord. His own man-
date was in harmony with that
of God. The Father would
have us praise him.
The Psalmist enumerated
blessings that led him to
praise. God’s care in needful
things of the everyday, His re-
moval of transgressions “as far
as the east is from the west.
His pitying his children like a
father, “remembering that we
are dust,” and dealing with us
not after our sins—all are sung
by the Psalmist as he calls up-
on his soul to bless the Lord.
It is well to connt our bless-
ings ere we iament the absence
of other blessings; it is wise to
find encouragement, in the
dark hours when we cannot
see the way before us, by re-
membering what God has a)
ready done.
For surely the Father, who
has given ca blessings in the
past, will continue to bless us,
according to our needs, if we
still trust Him. Praise is a
great incentive to faith. No
man should repine if he knows
the language of praise and
looks to God with a thinkful
heart. May our praise for
blessings already received
from God’s bountiful hand
stmgthen our faith to look to
Him for needful things in dayB
to come.
SFA Students and
Faculty Must Take
Oath of Allegiance
Student, facnlty, and staff
members of the Stephen F.
Austin college, as well as oth-
er state teachers colleges, will
be required to take the oath of
allegiance to the United States'
flag and what it stands for on
the opening of school for the
1949-41 school term, J. G. Ul-
mer of Tyler, president cf the
board of regents for the teach-
ers colleges, said.
Mr. Ulmer’s announcement
followed a resolution to that
effect adopted by the regents
Saturday, Aug. 17, Anyone re-
fusing to take the oath will he
barred from the schools, Mr.
Ulmer pointed out.
The new requirement has
been made because of fear of
fifth columnists and a large
number of schools have previ-
ously dismissed pro-Nazi sus-
pects, the board president con-
tinued.—Redland Herald, Nac-
ogdoches.
Chinese Ingenuity
Making a pendulum out of a
turnip and a piece cf thread is
a sample of the ingenuity that
China’s refugee school teach-
ers practise.
He delivered me from the
strong enemy, and from them
which hated me.—Ps. 18:17.
