FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1941
It seems impossible to keep some
men from being crooked. It is their
natural bent.
Ip view of the big spree the world
is now experiencing, we are daily
reminded that Time staggers on.
They are having plenty of funer-
als in*Europe, but they still need
one more to make it unanimous.
Si';.
Next Tuesday is November 11,
Armistice Day, which has been
observed throughout the nation
for 23 years. On that date in
1918 the World War was brought j
to a termination with Germany
sueing for peace. This Armistice
B*y finds the United States vir-
tually engaged in another war,
00d again fighting Germany.
Twelve of our ships have been
by German submarines in
last 60 days, and it looks now
we will have to do the job
Another thing we like about the
old fashioned girl is that she did her
own blushing. No one did it for her.

The latest proposal of John L.
Lewis is to organize all govern-
ment employees. If Hitler ever
had a henchman in this country,
it is the CIO leader, and any
fnan or woman receiving his
livelihood from the government
who would join such a union is
a- traitor to his country and
be kicked out pronto. The
people are about fed
with John L. Lewis and other
leaders, who are tying up
our defense program with strikes
for higher wages and close or-
ganization.

Things About Town
In keeping our ears open about
■what our local merchants are doing
or have done, this week we are go-
ing to talk about Elbert Jones. Mr.
Jones, as you know, has an up to
Aate dry goods store in our city and
M a regular advertiser in this news-
paper
In the store you will find Mr. and
?(». Harold Bonham doing a capa-
ble job of waiting on customers,
thus giving Mr. Jones time to talk
about his favorite sport, hunting.
Speaking of hunting brings us to
our subject: We have found that
deer is the game that Mr. Jones
would give a new hat any time to
bunt. Not only does he hunt them,
Jbut every year he bags his limit. He
•ticks around the mountains until
-he gets his limit, otherwise we guess
he would never return.
We oyerheard Mr. Jones telling
of his hunting experiences when he
-was a lad over in Arkansas He ad-
mits that he just don’t want to keep
company with a snake, and if there
ia one within a mile he wants to put
more distance between them
He was telling these listeners
•bout stepping on a snake that had
already had its temper aroused by
aomeone stepping on it just before
he came along. When he made the
fatal step on the reptile, it struck
and sank its fangs into his pants just
above his boot top, not entering his
leg. He said as far as being scar-
ed the snake might as well have bit-
fen him, because he was so scared
that he had to lie down and shake.
What the Russians hope for and
expect is that the Nazis will get
cold feet before they get into Mos-
cow.
General wages are going up and
up, but no change is noted in the
wages of sin—they have always
been up.
The average politician usually has
au axe to grind, and his greatest joy
is when he can get somebody to fur-
nish the axe.
We might get more satisfaction
teaching the young idea how to shoot
if we knew which direction he was
going to shoot.
Columbus discovered America four
hundred and forty-nine years ago,
and now America is trying to dis-
cover herself.
Those lessons we learn from ex-
perience would not seem so bad if
they were not followed up so quick-
ly with payday.
If we had to take our choice be-
tween fighting in Russia and pro-
nouncing Russion names, we’d fight
to the last ditch.
The people supply the politicians
with plenty of food for thought, but
the food doesn’t always contain vote-
getting vitamins.
You can always pick out a hick
town. The marker just outside the
town limits reads: “Slow down to
8 miles an hour.”
The “shalt nots” in the Ten Com-
mandments don’t give people con-
cern until they run across them in
the statutes of their state.
A wicked editor makes this ob-
servance: “Women may not have
any more backbone than men, but
some of them certainly show more
of it.”
Maybe what the still, small voice
of conscience needs is a loud speak-
er attachment. Its tiny voice too
often cannot be heard over the rattle
of dollars.

Those good old times of 1929 are
still being referred to, even if they
did leave everybody with a head-
ache and no man knew where liis
next thirteen-dollar shirt was com-
ing from.

WORLD’S RECORD BROKEN BY
HEN IN EGG CONTEST
A farmer ofBad Wilsnack, north-
west of Berlin, was sentenced to
three weeks in jail for letting weeds
grow in his 18-acre field.
The court said the groynd might
as well have been occupied by the
enemy as far as benefits to the Ger-
man people were concerned.
A world’s record was broken at
the John Tarleton College Poultry
Farm at Stephensville recently
when an English single-comber
White Leghorn hen dropped her
three hundred forty-third egg to
end a 357-day contest of egg-lay-
ing in which there were over a
thousand hens from all parts of the
United States competing.
Keep clothing on coat hangers.
This saves much pressing.
“God Bless America” is a dandy
theme for a popular patriotic song,
but it can’t be done, according to the
Rev. Earl Anderson, pastor of the
Munger Place Baptist Church.
In a recent hard-hitting Sunday
night sermon, on “Why God Can’t
Bless America,” Anderson cited sta-
tistics to show that the percentage
of Americans who belong to and
actually attend churches is much too
low to demand the attention of God.
“We like to call ourselves a Chris-
tian Nation,” he said. “But the fig-
ures show that the people of the
United States are predominantly pa-
gan and not Christian. People who
would rather go to dances and pic-
ture shows than to the churches,
shouldn’t expect blessings from the
Almighty."—Dallas Times-Herald.
