The modern day parent is faced
with grave responsibility to measure
up to the need of grappling with an
over conscious generation of young
folk. Types of educators have so over
flattered the fledglings of the future
that father and mother seem to be
rather insufficient to the mind of their
sons and daughters. You can be sure,
however, that no generation can build
more securely than the foundation on
which their structures rests.
It is an obligation therefore for
present day fathers and mothers to
furnish this security for the future
by possessing every essential that en
gineerir.g practice requires in building
a foundation. The elements of concrete
are cement, grit and gravel, and wa-
ter. No one of these can be eliminated
and a foundation be structurally
strong. There are three elements in
the character of a parent that are
equally required, no one of which may
be omitted or minimized and the re-
sults of their labors in child training
be lasting. They are judgment, firm-
ness and sympathy.
No parent has brought to the situa-
tion of responsibility to children, what
children deserve at their hand, until
common sense has had a broad use. It
isn’t maintained here that a father or
mother must be erudite with all the
classical learning of a university edu-
cation to be a good and wise parent.
It is the knowing of life values from
experience that will enable them to
set examples and to maintain high
ideals for their children that will
qualify parents to set the standard
for the household. It must have been
a great and noble character in the wo
man who placed the feet of Abraham
Lincoln on the way of travel toward
his immortal fame, who later said,
“All that I am I owe to my sainted
mother,” as contrasted with the words
of a father who said, “I don’t expect
to tell my boy the difference between
right and wrong. I.want him to find
out for himself.”
Moral rot in youth will have the
same effect to weaken the social
structures as dry rot in timbers will
weaken the building erected by hand.
Parents must show this wisdom for
guiding childhood that only years of
experience qualify for guardianship.
The competition between the mere
knowledge of children, with this ma-
ture judgment of parents, is the key
to the failure of many present day
homes. A rigid adherance to the
ihartcd course is the only hope of the
captain bringing his ship to port. Not
many parents can say “no” with a fi
nnlity that leaves no doubt in the mind
of the child as to what is meant. Au-
thority today is so little expressed to
ward childhood that it reveals only
too surely how little responsibility is
assumed for consequences. This fail-
ing expression of parental authority
is the deteriorating point in the mixing
of the material for the foundation
upon which the future is being built.
Later it will manifest itself in show-
ing the weakness of the substructure.
After all it is not enough to have
cement and gravel if there be no wa-
ter to give it binding quality. It is
not sufficient that parenthood be ef-
ficient in wisdom to guide or proficient
iu control to restrain unless it bears
the mark of sympathy to recommend
it to the heart of the child. The cru-
cial point of testing the child’s res-
ponse to father and mother isn’t in
the day when a spanking can enforce
the dictated command, but the day
when developing manhood and wo-
manhood begins the strain by the will
to be individual. The arbitrary don’t
‘stop,’ ’quit,’ has lost its meaning;
| now it is moral suasion. Will the par-
ent prevail? Unless the water is
! poured in, the wind will blow to sep-
arate your cement from your grit and
gravel; unless a sincerity of love has
prompted the setting of standards for
family life and maintaining them, all
| the pains and effort will become disi—
pated in a repudiated influence, by the
boy or girl, of parents’ wishes.
The one force that holds the apple
in its circular course around the finger
that impels and guides it, is a srting
tied to it. Break or loosen the string
and the apple describes a tangent of
ercape. Let the parents of today re-
fuse to show a sympathetic apprecia-
tion of the child for the new formed
temptation organized to seduce the
child from parental control and the
nvsehief has been done of breaking
the tie between the foundation and
the structure. It will be nothing to
create amazement, if in the future,
because of parental failure, winds of
destruction shall demolish all we ever
kuilded. One generation can destroy a
nation.
Today’s engineering practice is re-
inforcing concrete with steel bars and
rods. This is the form of a hidden
strength that withstands stresses to
j a point of resistance that makes
foundations irremovable. The essential
for parenthood to work within its own
character is the strength of the spir-
itual. The beginning days of the little
family is when it must be placed there,
for you can’t put in the bars and rods
of steel after the foundation has con-
icieted. The yearnings of a broken
nearted father and a shame covered
mother over the failure of a son or
(laughter might have been escaped if
! prayer and God’s word had been the
materials inwrought into the founda-
tion as the family was being built.

The outlook for the oil and gas
fields of this section has been the
most promising of the whole year.
The greatest of the happenings is the
big gasser in Brooks county in Copita
farm and Gorden tracts belonging to
j the Houston Oil Company. This gas-
I ser is a monster from the depth of
4117 feet making 35,000,000 cubic
teet of gas with a large cassinghead
gas content. The rock pressure is
I 1620 pounds, the heaviest in the dis-
trict. Casing is set at 4112 feet on
top of the sand. The sand is capped
! with a three foot hard rock.
Mr. Echols, contractor of Mirando
city, said the drilling in this well
was very hard and that he took 59

To Our Friends and Customers:
It is human nature in business to get all the trade
you cun; the consumer on the other hand wants to
see hiu town progress; you can never build up
your town by sending away for everything you
need; if you have good merchants in your town,
patronize them; we feel that they may not be in
position to supply some of your wants and that
is the part of your trade we would appreciate and
give you service.
