——
and another thing...
•by maud green.
and, another thing is, please,
somebody show me the way to
the nearest cotton allotment of-
fice . . in a hurry.
I'm growing cotton and cotton
growers gotta have an allot-
ment.
There are two poinsettia
bushes growing in a flowerbed.
They’ve been well water and
fertilized and look very nice.
But, the other day, when look-
ing more closely, there was a
cotton bloom on one of ’em.
Looking still closer . . . that
plant wasn’t all poinsettia. One
was a cotton stalk, blooming its
head off. If there were only
enough of those stalks, yield
would be at least two bales
per acre.
A mixture of cotton seed
hulls and cotton seed meal had
been used earlier as a mulch
and fertilizer. Guess one seed
got past the grinding machine.
Anyway, it’s a happy cotton
Stalk.
Guess we’ve all run into sit-
uations where it seemed easier
just to give up and quit trying
than to go ahead and get the
job done.
This little story has helped
a lot. when, what sometimes
seems an impossible project
comes along.
There was this little woman
who was carrying a part-filled
pail of milk to the market. She
started to cross a bridge which
spanned a little stream of water.
Slyly she slipped down to the
water edge, opened her pail
and filled it with “creek water.”
On to market she trudged,
completely unaware that two
frogs had gone into the pail.
Came time to open her pail
to sell her milk. When the lid
was removed they saw one frog,
perched atop a nice pat of but-
ter. He was croaking happily.
In the bottom of the pail was
the other frog . . . drowned in
the milk.
One frog gave up, the other
kept kicking.
Guess the moral of this yarn
is: If you kick long enough
and hard enough, somehow you
will come out the winner.
Gladys and Keith Huiatt went
traveling only a short time ago
. . . into the State of Colorado.
Focal point of their trip was
to Florence where Keith’s sis-
ter and her brother were named
to head some big pioneer cele-
bration.
In order to belong to the
Pioneer organization, one must
have been born there or lived
there 60 years. When they say
“Pioneers,” that’s what they
mean.
The Huiatts enjoyed the trip
and took some time, for sight-
seeing and visiting pretty places
... especially where fishing
would be handy.
If you happen to read this,
Rena Page Fiensy, thanks for
your friendly “Hello.” It’s been
a long, long time.
You see, as many of you re-
member, Rena and her husband,
the late Walter Fiensy, lived in
Kermit years ago and their
proud footprints can still be
found in many areas.
She now lives in Winfield,
Kan., and here’s hoping life
is good for her.
and, another thing is, James
Roberts, author of the top-notch
column, Drifting Sands, in The
Andre ws County News, had rea-
son last week to hunt up the
following and print it in his
column.
He reports it was written by
Miss Alta Becker, a literary
woman of Dayton, Ohio. She may
be a “literary woman” but
ibetcha she’s an old-time news-
paper woman who’s been in the
business a long time.
Her “A Prayer for the Middle-
Aged” goes like this:
“Lord, thou knowest better
than I know myself that I am
growing older and will some day
be OLD.
“Keep me from getting lo-

quacious, and particularly from
the fatal habit of thinking I
must say something on every
subject and on every occasion.
“Release me from craving to
try to straighten out every,
body’s affairs.
“Make me thoughtful but not
moody; helpful but not bossy.
With my vast store of wis-
dom, it seems a pity not to use
it all — but thou knowest, Lord,
that I want a few friends at the
end, at least enough for pall-
bearers, with a mourner or
two — do not let the editor
head my obituary with the
words, ‘old crab dies at Iasi:
everybody glad.’
“Keep my mind free from the
recital of endless details . , .
give me wings to get to the
point.
“Seal my lips on my aches
and pains. They are increasing
and my love of hearing them is
becoming sweeter as the years
go by ... I dare not ask for
grace enough to enjoy the tales
of others’ pains, but help me to
endure them with patience.
“I dare not ask for improved
memory, but for a growing
humility and a lessening cock-
sureness when my memory
seems to clash with the mem-
ories of others.
“Teach me the glorious les-
son that occasionally I may be
mistaken.
“Give me the ability to see
good things in unexpectedplaces
and talents in unexpected peo-
ple. Give me the grace to tell
them so.
“Keep me reasonably sweet:
I do not want to be a saint —
some of them are so hard to
live with — but a sour old
woman is one,of the crowning
works of the devil.
“Keep me where I can extract
all possible fun out of life;
there are so many funny folks,
so many that do funny things
in life, and I don’t want to miss
any of it.”
Amen!

DEAR HELOISE:
. I have three pairs of stretch
pants and ruined one pair
when I tried to press them
... I guess I used too hot an
iron.
Should they be steam ironed
or dry ironed, what tempera-
ture, and so forth?
Confine Blake
Desir Coriline:
\\V have contacted Miss Ed-
na Sehappert, the Educational
Director of Man-Made Fiber
Producers Association, Ilie.*
and here asre her instructions:
“Stretch garments can be
pressed with either a dry or
steam iron at temperatures in
the range of 270°-300° F.
(synthetic setting). Trials
should be made on a sample
to establish the maximum for
a particular fabric.
“Press rapidly. Do not lea ye
the iron in one position too
long.
“If hotter iron is required
for any reason, use pressing
cloth and do not allow the
iron to come in contact with
the fabric.
“Care - and - handling direc-
tions on hnngtags and labels
should, of course, he followed.”
Can you imagine anyone be-
ing so nice to take the time
to give this information for
us housewives?
