BABIES
Babies are such funny things,
If T may voice my thoughts:
They reign supreme, like tiny kings,
Their domains are our hearts.
They sorta grip your heart-strings
In their little chubby hands.
And know just how to start things
With tlieir infantile commands;
The cynic looks at babes to see
A brat who always cries;
But, sentimental fools like me
Find angels in their eyes.

IT IS NO DREAM
Dear fritmds and fellow citizens,
Will you 1’sten to my rhyme.
A nickel is worth a nickel.
But it isn’t worth a dime.
It isn’t always size that counts.
It’s volume every time,
A nickel is worth a nickel.
But it isn't worth a dime.
A dime is not so very much,
But you’ll admit it follows,
If you Will only save your dimes
They will soon add up to dollars.
The value of one dollar friend,
Is just one hundred cents,
So in this money problem.
Iiet us try to use some sense:
So get this in your cranium,
Remember all the time
To be saving of your nickels,
They will multiply your dimes.

"Wliat I have accomplished has
been done because the work has kept
me happy and I have enjoyed every
moment of the battle.
“Pin not much more successful than
the average person. I have more

The quarterly meeting of the Men

the Presbyterian church of Corpus
Christi last Thursday, February 4,
was one of the best of President W.

WANTED TO SEE THE ANGEL
Old Jonah had his good points.
When he emerged from the whale he
didn’t wire a press agent to get busy.
That must be a real war in Man-
churia. Japan gets the glory and
English cotton mills get the benefit.
Little Billy had just been told that
an angel had brought him a little
sister.
“Would you like to see her?” asked
the doctor.
“No,” said Billy, “but I’d like to
have a look at the angel.”
S0ME(/Y0UR MONEY
Federal taxes not included above;
Uncle Sam is still figuring HIS!
nd, what a pile it makes!
_ In the year 1931, Cen-
tral Power and Light Company
paid $646,479.06 for local,
county and state taxes. An av-
erage of $1771.17 per day!
Gf course, the company
pj can not manufacture money to
pay these taxes. The only reve-
nue Central Power and Light
Company receives is money
paid by its customers for services
rendered. So,when you pay your
electric bill, only a portion goes
for Electric Service. A big slice goes for taxes.
Perhaps it has never occurred to you that you are, in this manner,
paying more money than you thought for taxes. And, if these indirect
assessments were not included in your electric bill, the levy would be
on your shoulders in direct taxes.
Governmental agencies have virtually made your power and light
company a tax collection bureau. While our business in the past five
years has made an increase of approximately 50%, during the same
time our taxes have in-
creased overTHREE HUN-
DRED PER CENT!
In other words, our taxes
haye been increasing SIX TIMES
as fast as our total gross reve-
nue. In spite of this mounting
tax burden, Central Power and
Light Company has, through
economical and efficient oper-
ation, effected residential elec-
tric rate reductions which aver-
age 37% throughout South and
Southwest Texas.
A FEW PENNIES
a day pay for your.Electric
Service. Yet. it takes-lots
of these pennies to pay our
tax bill. If laid side by side
the pennies required for
our 1931 taxes
would stretejb
over a distance of
7 6 5 miles,
as great as from
Brownsville to Memphis,
Tenn., and then some.
