JUDGE E. HERRING
Improved Uniform International
COUNTY NURSE FOR
STONEWALL COUNTY
Stonewall county citizens ha\ e
made formal application to the State
health Department at Austin for the
free services of a health nurse for
this drouth-affected area. A repre-
sentative from this department was
here last week to discuss with our
people the question of including this
county in a district composed of five
counties, which will receive, without
charge, services of a health nurse
for a period extending from 8 to 14
months, beginning about May 1. The
district will be known as No. 2. 'Hie
local committee in charge is composed
of Mrs. W. Bailey Bingham, president
of the Phoenix Club, chairman; Coun-
ty Judge Leonard Westfall; R. L.
Springer, secretary-treasurer of the
Lion's club; County Superintendent
Shirley Stewart; and Dr. D. L. Dodd,
county health officer. The chairman
was authorized to appoint two or
three additional local committeemen,
also to select community representa-
tives from Old Glory, Swenson and
Peacock.
"And he walked with God and he
was not for God took him". These
words describe in brief the life and
death of a good man, Judge Herring.
His many friends were saddened by
the newt of his death. Of this godly
man it can be said with truth that hi*
passing has left the world, the con'
munity and the church a poorer place
for his place can not be filled. Hi-'
unsullied life, his gentle court. yj
have left us an example to be emu-
lated, devoted to his family, useful to
his community, true to his friends,
loyal to his church and his God. The
radiance of his christian life will co!.-
tinue to be felt for he being dead yet
speaketh to us in the precious mem •
ones which wo cherish of a life thai
stood four-square for righteousness.
Suddenly he pa&sed into that rest,,
that rest that remaineth for the people
of God and we have the blessed assur-
ance that he has entered into that in-
heritance which is incorruptible and,
undefiled and which fadeth not away.

•THIS AND THAT'
By Jimminy
"The tux burden on the home today
is such that the people can't own their
own homes any longer," said Senator
Parrish when speaking in favor of the
resolution to abolish the ad valorem
tax.
GARDENS URGED BY MCDONALD
Tomorrow's grocer may have u
brand new commodity on his fruits
arid vegetables counters—another
Texas product, the pitathaya.
That is, it would be new as a com-
mercial product. Even now tentative
steps are bemvr taken to commercial-
ize the Pitahaya. One man at Pre-
sidio hopes to ship three carloads
to market this year. The supply is
as vast as the cactus-bearing plnin.;
and mountains of West Texas.
In the opinion of .), M. Del Curto,
entonologist and horticultural expert
for the state department of agricul-
ture, there is a great economic future
' for the pitahaya, which in the name
! of one speck1* of cactus fruit. Na-
tives of the region where the pitahaya
abound have eaten it for years. A
very few Texas hotels have served
it as a novelty. The fruit, Del Curto
said, tastes something like a fig-,
something like a peach and a hit like
an apple—a delicious combination.
I. Jssus Passing Throuflh Jsrleho
( Jericho U noted as a stronghold of
ths Canaanltes which was miraculous-
ly delivered Into the handa of Israel
in response to their faith, Joshua #,
and slso for the faith of Ralieb which
saved her from destruction with the
city Heb. (11:31). Two notorious sin-
ners, Kahab nnd Zacchaeus, were
saved at Jericho.
II. Zaochasus Scsklng Jssus (vv. 2-4).
1. His object (v. 3).
He sought to see who Jesus was,
lie doubtless had heard of Jesus' klud
treatmeut of publicans, so was prompt-
ed to see what kind of a man he was.
a. Ills dllllcultles (vv. 2, 3).
<1) Ills Infamous business (v. 2).
Me was a tax collector of the Roman
government The very fact that a
Jew held such an olllce under the
listed Romans would make lilra ex
tremely unpopular, Then, since he
was rich, it was evident that tie had
practiced extortion In collecting tuxes
Uy virtue of bis traitorous act In ut
ceptltiK such an othce from the Ro
mnus and his extortion In collecting
taxes, he was ostracized from society.
Many men have u hard time In com-
ing to Christ because of their unpopu-
lar business relations.
(2) His shortness of stature (v. 3)
He was too small to crowd his wa.v
through to Jesus, and being hated b.v
the people, they had thrust him aside,
uo doubt, with taunts and jeers.
8. His persistence (v. 4).
Be ran before the multitude and
climbed up into a tree. What he
lacked in stature he was determined
should be made up by the height of thf
tree. Zacchaeus seems to have been
of that temperament which knows no
defeat. The obstacles placed before
him he brushed aside; those he could
not brush aside he climbed over, his
heart set upon the goal.
III. Jeeua Finding Zaeehaeus
(v . S, 6),
While Zacchaeus waa trying to see
Jeeua, Jeaua was looking for him. This
te always the case, whea desire 1s
stirred np la a heart to see Jesus,
Jesus la seeking that one. Wheu
Jesus saw him he commanded him to
come down from the tree and declared
his Intention to go home with him
Jesus called him by name, but did not
utter a word which would humiliate
Zacchaeus.- Jesus knew hla heart's de
sire sod dealt with him accordingly.
All souls who eurnestly seek Jesus
shsll be found of him. Zacchaeus
quickly responded. He came down,
and with Joy received Jeaua He act-
ed wisely In that he did aot hesltute.
A moment's Indecision and waiting
would have kept Zacchaeus from Jesus
—from Jesus and aa! vat loo.
IV. Zsoohseus* Conversion (w. 7-1.0),
His conversion waa sodden and thor-
ough. He was converted before he
reached the ground.
1 What the crowd said (v. 7).
They said Just what tbey say today
when alnnera come to Christ. They
call to mind the man's former alas.
They also reproached Christ saying
that he had gone te be a guest with
this notorious extortioner, the tai col-
lector. That for which they reproached
Jesus was his glory. His supreme mis
sloe wa* to save sinners (v. 10).
X What Zacchasus said (v. 8).
His conversion was thorough. It
took hold upon 'his heart. Ills new
life waa begun with resolution smt
restitution. He dedlcsted half of hla
goods to the poor. The man who a lit-
tle while ago waa a grafter was now a
generoua giver. Ills conversion got
hold of his pockethoek. His determi-
nation to mske restitution wherein he
bsd wrongly exacted taxes shows the
genuineness of his conversion. While
(Jod forgets the psst of the si oner
when ke comes to Christ, the sinner
who Is converted will seek to make
right all wrongs, bs they nnklnd word*
or unrighteous deeds. Sorrow for sin
Is not enough when restitution ts po -
sll'le.
a. Whst Jeeus said (vv. •, 10).
"Today Is salvation come to thy
house.'* The publican was now a
child of God. a eon of Abraham. Hei-
rs tion I* e present reality to those
who receive Jeans Christ

Our hard-working legislature dii,
however, pass a bill that will regulate
those big bunglesome trucks that bat
ter our highways daily. But not with
| out arguments and amendments.
j One legislator said all the trucks
I should be painted red, and offered an
| amendment to that effect. Another
said they should bo painted white be-
cause the people can't see red at night.
' If a motorist can't see red at night,
! he can't see at all. From personal ex-
perience nnd from conversation with
many other "low-priced" car owners
your correspondent knows that when-
ever a motorist tries to pass one of
those big "warehouses on wheels"—
be it day or night—ho can see every
color in the rainbow, with red pre-
dominating. Without any authority for
the statement, this lowly newspaper
correspondent would say the people of
Texas are not so much interested in
the color of the trucks as they are In
the size and stubborn determination
to "hug" the middle of the road.
Ideal conditions this spring have
emphasised the need for every farmer
te plant at least enough feed to sup'
ply his own table during the summer
months, J. E. McDonald, commission*
•r of agriculture, said today.
Gardens, he declared, will pay
much larger dividends than anything
else a farmer might plant at this
time. Foodstuffs canned and saved
for the winter months may mean
for many people the difference be-
tween being well fed and going hun-
gry.
McDonald urged every land owner
to insist upon his tenants and hired
help to plant gardens large enough
to supply their immediate needs, and
furnish at least a part of their win-
ter food supply.
He pointed out that every govern*
mental branch studying agriculture
had been insistent upon the need for
more and larger gardens throughout
the farming belts.
Continuing, we find that ssenator
Woodward has introduced a bill to re
move the six year old scholastic age
from the per capita apportionment.
He said it would save the state mil-
lions of dollars, atui that it would
harm none but the unusually bright
child who now can enter school at the
age of six years. It is a good bill and
should be adopted, provided—we can
find some way to determine which
parents have the dull children.
And that is that!
