If yon hold a membership in the ‘-Easy Spend-
ers Society” we would advise you to take out a
demit at once. The dues in that lodge are too
high for the good you get out of it.
It may be pleasant to be known as a “Good
Fellow” for the time being, a leader in the Spend-
ers Lodge, but it leads to but one end—needy and
dependent old age. Remember the lesson of the
grasshopper that sang all summer. It had one
continuous round of hilarity—until cold weather
came.

Come to Texas
Six thousand years ago ’mid sweat and toil,
The Almighty ceased making soil,
But please don’t forget
That’s He’s making people yet,
Come to Texas.
«lr
Prophetic souls dream of a mightier State,
One “Undivided Forever,” Grand andjdreat,
Eight hundred miles wide and a thousand long,
Rich in deeds of daring and in song.
Come to Texas.
And with eager eyes and ears, hear and see
The tramp and tread of millions yet to be.
So come ye people from every clime,
And join us in this glad sweet chime,
Come to Texas.
Where birds of passage halt in flight,
To feed, bathe, and rest their weary wings;
Strength renewed, rise to greater heights,
And as they journey sweetly sing,
Come to Texas.
Where breezes that blow and the golden grain
Waves the whole year ’round on many a plain;
Where a fortune made a fortune brings,
Where the waters flow and the river sings,
Come to Texas.
Where the mocking bird with his sweet lay
Wakes you up at peep of day,
And sings in winter the same sweet tune
That he sings to you in May and June;
Come to Texas.
Where wheat and oats and other feeds
Grow sufficient for all our needs;
Where cotton is Queen and corn is King;
And as we gather them we sing,
Come to Texas.
Where cattle graze on a thousand hills,
Rich in ores of precious worth,
Waiting since Creation’s dawn,
Valuless until we give them birth;
Come to Texas.
Where sheep convert grass and weeds into coin,
And double in numbers every year;
Walk on golden hoofs, chew golden cuds,
And the golden fleece comes clear.
Come to Texas.
Down here our dimes into dollars turn,
And the dollars into eagles too;
The eagles change to Nightingales
That sing the whole year through;
Come to Texas.
Our girls are waiting, but language fails
In describing their many charms;
So I say young men, come on, get busy,
And they will receive you with open arms.
Come to Texas.
Where the latch string hangs out the whole year through,
Where fortune smiles and your dreams come true;
Where health is catching and it feels like spring,
Where the flowers bloom and the birds do sing.
Come to Texas.

High School Athletes Hold Important
Meeting.
In a meeting held Monday ters of
afternoon at 3:30 Dudley Moore
was unanimously elected captain
by the football squad to head
the team for 1913.
A baseball meeting was also
held at which twenty-four men
were present. Almost a full team
of last year’s players are trying
out for their old positions. Each
man on the team will have to
fight for his place however, as
there are several trying for each
position. This fact shows inter-
est in the game and promises a
strong team to represent the
school in the coming season. A
second team will be organized
later and games scheduled for
each team.
Clarence Nichols was elected
captain for the season and Albert
Culver will act as manager.
Work will begin at once.

Accident Insurance
Did you know that 21 persons
are accidentally killed or in-
jured every minute, that one
person is accidentally killed
every 5 minutes, that more than
30,000 are killed or injured each
day by accidents. Five times as
many persons are killed and in-
jured as die from natural causes.
More die and are disabled from
pin pricks and other slight in-
juries than die from pneumonia.
More people are killed and in-
jured by accident annualJy than
have been killed and injured in
any war in the last 200 years.
More people are kept from work
by accidents than are idle from
the lack of employment. One
death in every 12 is due to acci-
dent. These figures are taken
from government statistics.
We write the best and most up
to date accident policies in the
best companies in the world.

free Lecture at Witcher Opera House.
Extract from a free lecture on
Christian Science to be delivered
by William R. Rathvon at the
Witcher opera house, 8 p. m.
Tuesday, Jan. 21st, 1913:
“It has been proved in millions
of instances that a wrong thought
which is the father of a wrong
action will invariably vanish into
nothingness if you will but intro-
duce a right thought in its place.
Good destroys evil as surely and
as quickly as light destroys dark-
ness. Remember that, for you
will find it helpful if you are ever
disposed to try Christian Science
for yourself. If you will associ-
ate in your thought good with
light and evil with darkness, you
will have before you a flashlight
glimpse of the impotence of evil
in the presence of the good. Not
all the darkness in the universe
can extinguish the light of one
tiny lamp. Wherever it goes it
chases away darkness, which is
always without power to move,
or even to be in the presence of
light. So with the light of good
and the darkness of evil.”
