LET'S GO FISHING
One of the most tragic posi-
tions to find oneself in it n a
rut.' This has reference espec-
ially to tht business man or pro-
fessional man who cannot ex-
tract himself from that peril-
ous manner of doing a thing in
the same old way from day to
day. After all, it may be the
best way to do the thing but
usually it is not. Many a busi-
ness mandoes the same thing
each day in the same way. Up
be gets in the morning, down
to the store or office, out for
lunch, back to the grind, out
to home, possibly out for a ride
or a game of bridge and then
to bed. to get up in the morning
to follow the indential routine
the following day and the next,
and on and on until he finally
"wears himself out. The monote-
ny of the affair becomes irk-
some and jtoresome in the ex-
treme. He struggles to make a
change, grasp at an opportuni-
ty to 'snap out of it' but fails,
utterly. That man is 'in a rut.'
It's tragic.
Aw pshaw! "let's go fishin."

TOE YOUNG COLLEGIATE
ty, q^st6mry'fofs a certain
type of' newspapers today tp
cjriticize the modern youth in
but especially, does it
spread accross its pages, account
of crimes committed by young-
collegians.
Su^h phrases as "They are
the customary type of young
collegians" and "it was all so
easy and it was the love of ad-
venture that caused us to com-
mit the crime," run in front
page stories.-
Ever since Leopold and Loeb
were convicted it has become
popular for young collegiate to
occupy a prominent place in our
headlines. Something to talk
about. Something startling.
Anything to make the people
read the paper is the slogan of
many papers without aconcern,
apparently ,as to the consequ-
ence.
But there is a serious danger
in playing up htese crimes of
the collegian. Where the ordi-
nary person commits a crime
the news is of so much less im-
portance that it fails to crash
through the printed columns
with the importance that it
would i£, a young collegi n had
done the same deed.
Why pick on a college boy?
iiet this continue and it will
follow that the eye of suspi-
cion will fall upon all college
students as being the most
dangerous criminal type and
will cast a shadow on college
students as a whole. Instead of
feeling tha ta boy is being train-
ed in the proper channels as he
goes to college the parents will
fed that by sending the boy
away to college they are making
it possible for him to develop
into a first class criminal.

NEW VISIONS
The National Educational As-
sociation which met in Dallas
the past few days had present,
members from every state'in the
union. Among this group was
' found representatives from the
greatest Universities in our land
the leaders in educatonal
thought of our nation. These
men furnished the inspirational
addresses to the thousands who
wert prtsent and no doubt creat-
ed new visions to those who have
been traveling in the same did
Mucaiiostal rut.. New ways of
&&iaig an ide* across to the
scope of the whole program were
impressive.
In all these activities, it is
noteworthy to know, that Min-
eola was represented and had
its part. The entire corp of
teachers was there. School was
suspended for a day to allow
the faculty of the school in our
city to attend. It will be worth
many times the money spent in
sending them there and paying
their salaries for the day to
have each teacher catch a new
vision in the educational field
and to feel that each one of them
was a member of this*;? eat nat-
ional body.
EAST TEXAS CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE CONVENTION
TYLER, March 2—That all
of East Texas is interested in
the success of the first annua*
convention of the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce to be
held in Tyler, April 20th and
21st, is evidenced by the spirit
of co-operation which has been
manifested by the several cities
in this great section.
Longview has closed its local
chamber of commerce office un-
til after the convention and has
placed her Secretary, B. F.
Johnson, at the disposal of the
Tyler Committee. Mr. Johnson
will have charge of the advance
registration and the publicity
departments for the convention.
E. P. McKenna, president of the
Tyler Chamber of Commerce,
has written L. A. Sessums, pre-
sident of the Longview Chamb-
er of Commerce, thanking him
for this unusual co-operation.
Mr. McKenna stated that the
future growth and development
of the East Texas was assured
when cities could work together
for a common cause in this man-
ner.
W. W. Evans. Manager of the
Paris Chamber of Commerce,
has been very, helpful, to the
Tyler committees in making sug-
gestions for the convention. He
assures the Tyler committee
that Paris will be present at
the convention with a special
train and a large delegation of
citizens led by a band.
Russell Rhodes, manager of
'the Tyler Chamber of ComT
.merce, has completed a tour of
some of the southern counties
of East Texas and reports that
every county visitd accepted the
quota of advance registrations.
They were: Anderson, Houston,
Walker. Montgomery and Trini-
ty. "In fact," states Mr. Rhodes,
"every county in East Texas
which has been visited by the
Tyler flying squadrons has
gladly and willinglv accepted
the quotas assignee!/ and many
have promised and increased
number.
Mineola State Bank
Receives Compliment
From Bank Official
The banks that a town has is
usually indicative of the pro-
gress and stability of that town.
Probably some o fthe peuple in
Mineola and thereabout d,-> not
really know what the Depart-
metn of Banking thinks of our
banks here and sometimes the
officials themselves do not
know for a certainty, until they
receive uch assurances as the
one contained in the letter
that follows.
Mr. B. R. Brown, Cashier.
Citizens State Bank,
Greenville, Texas.
Dear Mr. Brown
Referring to yours of the
14th. In the case of the failure
I think it would be more ad-
of the First State Bank of Alba,
vantageous to the progress of
the liquidation to retain a de-
pository in Wood County and
therefore had decided upon us-
ing the Mineola State Bank,
Mineola. for this purpose.
With best wishes, I am,
Very truly yours,
Chas. O. Austin, Com.
This letter comes as a suprise
to the Mineola State Bank and
its many friends are pleased
that the Department of Bank-
ing has such inclinations to-
ward one of Mineola's banks.
The Monitor joins in the congra-
tulations.

busness, bigger, values and more
volume. Lower prices will be
the natural consequence of this
