Headlines like these will not alarm you
if you have your money in the First Stare Bank
of Conroe, where every dollar of the non-
interest bearing and unsecured deposits is
protected by the Depositors’ Guaranty Fund of
the State of Texas. Otherwise, your friends
may have a chance to say: “1 told you so.”

Delivering
tjfe
Goods
UNITED PRESBYTERIAN
ELL, we never yet depend-
ed on Sam and bad him
fall us. He la always on
band to deliver tbe goods."
These words tell on my
ears as 1 was burrylng
down tbe street one morning, and
they struck me with such force that 1
found myself repeating over and over:
"He never tailed us. He always deliv-
ers the goods.” It set Itself to a little
tune/ and kept singing Itself like a
beautiful refrain, and 1 realized, as I
bad never done before, bow much that
meant.
1 had been having some dishearten-
ing experiences that very morning
with people who could not be depend-
ed upon, thereby putting me to a great
deal of trouble and Inconvenience, and
as 1 heard the words of commendation
for the boy who could be depended
upon, some way the world seemed
brighter, for I now knew that all or
those most comfortable people to
have around—the ones who "deliver
the goods” had not all vanished lrom
the face of the earth.
I felt a great longing to see that boy,
to take him by the hand, to look Into
his clear, bright eyes and frank, man-
ly face I knew his eyes were clear
and bright, for how could they be
otherwise when the owner of them
was always able to look others in the
eye and not feel embarrassed over
duties neglected? And I also knew
that the face of that boy must be
clear, manly, and frank, for it was Ir-
radiated by a clear conscience; and
when did a clear conscience ever color
the cheek with shame and cloud the
boyish eyes that ought always to look
the world in the face unabashed?
Things to Remember.
Why, laddies, there Is a whole ser-
mon In that remark—slang and all.
Always to be depended upon—la not
that a grand ambition for a boy to
have? And, you know, It generally
follows that as Is the boy, so Is tbe
man; and If you wish to be a man that
the world depends upon for Its good,
Its great deeda, you must begin now
to be a "dependable” boy. If you
have dreams (and what boy has not?)
of great and wonderful things to hap-
pen to yob, Just remember, please, that
great results do not “happen." They
are always the sequel of natural laws
—of God’s laws—that "what you sow,
that also shall you reap.”
No Idle, Irresponsible boy ever be-
came a successful man without
changing his ways, turning face about
and beginning over again. Ah, lads,
and this beginning all over again Is so
hard. It means the breaking of old
habits, the letting go of old friends and
old associations You know “If thy
right hand ofTend thee, cut- It off,'' and
that seems a pretty severe remedy for
the trouble, doesn’t It? Hut It must
be done, for one who knows assures us
It Is the only way.
In the Beginning.
How to begin? Well, these are some:
of the steps to that end: A strong de-
termination to be the very best boy
that, with God’s help, you can be;
obedience to parents and teachers; a
choice of pure, clean-minded compan-
ions, people and books, and keeping
away from evil places. Pool rooms and
bowling alleys and salooma never
have furnished our beat men—the men
"who deliver the goods'*—and. laddie,
tbpy never will. W^pe rooms and cards
ntfVar have produced philosophers and
MTentors and presidents, and never
will, for thoy cannot "dollver tbe
goods"
Take this sermon to heart, my boys
—4ho sermon that was not meant to
b^vuch. but contained more truth and

NEW YORKER INVENTS HOUSE
In Two Sections, With Walls and Roof
Hung on Hlngee—Quite Easy to |

A rather elaborate poultry house ,
has been designed by a New York
man. It Is In two sections, one of
which slides upon the other and Is
small enough to be easily taken apart.

A leading figure In the social life
©i. Washington is Mrs. Claude Swan-

senators from Virginia. Mr. Swanson
was a member of congress for four-
teen years and during that time Mrs.

the social life of the national capital.

Useful Poultry House.
Its side walls, while the wuoden walls
are hinged at the top so that they
can be opened at any angle desired,
chains holding them in position. In
this way ventilation can be obtained
and tbe interior protected from rain
or too much light. The upper section,
which has a peaked roof, has a door
at one end and a series of roosts ar-
ranged around the sides and endB on
the Interior. One-half of the roof is
screened, too, and the top on this side
Is hinged so that it can be kept open
or closed. The entire roof can also be
■lid on or off at will. This arrange-
ment makes It easy to clean the house
thoroughly In all parts and keep It
well ventilated, thus eliminating in-
sect pests to a great degree.
PERCH SPACE FOR CHICKENS
Small Hens Centrally Require About
Six Inches While Larger Birds
8hould Be Allowed Elaht.
As a general rule, small hens should
have about six inches of perch space
while the larger hens should be al-
lowed eight Inches. In the winter
they huddle closer together, but In
the summer there should be plenty of
room to allow them to spread out.
Perches should be 12 Inches apart and
not closer than 15 Inches to the wall
or ceiling. Show birds, especially
Hinged Perghee and Dropping Board.
Leghorns or similar types should be
kept at a greater distance from walls
and ceilings. Many good birds are
spoiled by "brooming" their tails
against tbe walls.
Thera areyseveral methods of mak-
ing movable perches. One of the most
common le by binging them to the
wall at the back.

consistent with good management 1 or fees connected
to advertise, correspond and seek test, the only requirement of a
contestant being that ho gives a

the end of the season he may not
only receive a goodly sum as »
prize, but he will also have his
crop—perhajx* the finest his land
