A lot of people who don't ad-
vertise think business is dead.
The hand that used to rock
the cradle now seems to be hit-
ting the typewriter.
Good idea for motorists to
have non-skid tires, but a lot of
them also need non skid brains.
And speaking of the "oppo-
site" sex; can you tell us how
they happen to bear that appel-
lation?
They say George Washington
never told a lie; but he never
tried to sell a second hand auto,
did he? 1
Ninety-two per cent of Texas
farms have no bees. They are
all appropriated by candidates
and are buzzing aboui in politi-
cal bonnets.
It. was Henry Clay w*ho said he
would rather be right than Presi-
dent: but they were not having
much trouble in the senate over
treaties then, were they?
Will West in his LuCkin Lead-
er says he cannot understand
how a man with eleven wives
could be lonesome. Will West
evidently knows how to get out a
good newspaper but is not versed
on .the why's and the wherefore's
of the '"opposite" sex.
The East Texas Register in
speaking of Senator Culberson
last week said: Furthermore you
never need to use a searchlight, a
telescope or a jimmy to find out
where he stands on any public
question. Which reminds us
that something sounding about
like that, but having an entirely
different meaning from w h a t
Bro. Whitman meant for h i s
friend, Culberson, was said some
time ago about a recent entrant
into the political arena here.
If there ever was a time when
East Texas crops were watched
with the exceeding great care
they receive today the oldest in-
habitant fails to remember it and
call it to our attention. Every
little plant today represents a
hope of so much coin which will
develop into legal tender receiva-
ble for all debts public and pri-
vate, including the income tax.
They will be watched with an
exceeding great care and petted
and pampered to the end that
they bring forth bountifully.
The lesson has been hard bo,t and
will be remembered and be of
great benefit to East Texas for
years and her soil resourse given
a more excellent attention from
now henceforth.

Ani They Going to Take Our Baby
Away From Us?
There is a move on foot for the
permanent location of the Reyn-
olds Presbyterian Orphanage, and
we are just wondering if they are
going to take our baby away from
us. About six years ago this insti
tution was born in the city of Al-
bany, and there was no one here
but. just home folks to celebrate
the occasion. It was indeed a ti
ny kid, and it sure did have a
struggle to get by the teething
period. Dr. Gilmore Smith and
his excellent wife were on the
ground to do the nursing act,
rock the cradle, etc. At that
time, Dallas, Weatherford, and
other applicants for the Orphan-
age did not put in an application
to be its wet nurse. But it has
grown until it no longer wears
swaddling clothes, can kinder
stand alone and feed itself, mi-
nus a nursing spoon; now our big
neighbors want to daddy it for
Christ's sake. When this insti
tution opened up there were some
five or six orphans to start with,
and we can see the folks of Albany
coming in with cooking vessels,
tables and chairs, bedding; all
the necessary articles for setting
up housekeeping. And all these
years the people of town and
county have stood by it. We
can see the folks coming from
town and country with chickens
and turkyeys, kids and pigs, veg-
etables, and all other things for
the comfort of the children. Oh
yes, bringing in Jersey cows, and
corn and hay and feed stuffs of
all kinds. And as the years have
come and gone, the Orphanage
has grown from five or six, to a
family of 130 or 140. And we
home folks have nursed it, and it
is our pride and joy, and we do
wonder if they will take it away?
Why is it not already permanent-
ly located? We have a splendid
administration building up there
that ( his community builded sev-
eral years ago, and it could not
be built now for less than 40 or
50 thousand dollars. We own 300
acres of land, part of it inside the
incorporation, and the remainder
outside the corporate limits of
the city, well stocked with milk
cows, sheep and hogs and chick-
ens, and this property is all paid
for, and Albany has dug up the
lion's share of the money that
paid for it. Then in addition to
this, it is located in one of the
healthiest countries in Texas, as
evidence of that fact, only one
death in the six years at the
Home, and that by accident.
Then why is it not permanently
located? Why take our baby-
away from us?—Richard H. Mc-
Carty in Albany News.
Pioneer* and Stay-at-Homes.
The human race is supposed to
have originated in A s i a. In
primitive ages, the people of act-
ive temperament became dissat-
isfied with conditions and migrat-
ed to Europe, hoping to find or
create bettef opportunities.
Meanwhile those of more pass-
ive natures tended to remain at
home in Asia. From this divis-
ion, two distinct types of civili-
zation developed.
Tne passive folks who stayed
at home, were inclined to get
along with the conditions that
they had. Instead of trying to
secure better government and
economic advance, they schooled
themselyes in endurance. That
spirit was all right so far as it
went, but it did not incite them
to develop a higher civilization./
The European peoples who
had moved on in search'of bette
things, were naturally of more
energetic nature. It was their
instinct to improve conditions,
and consequently they developed
a superior observation.
In the 17th century, young
people with courage and faith
again broke away from old tradi-
tions, and settled in America.
As a result of their ambition and
determination, they were able to
establish the improved institu-
tions of democracy. The more
passive types of people who had
remained at home lacked some-
thing of this initiative. So Amer-
ica went ahead faster than Eu-
rope. As the result of the better
institutions of democratic gov- i
ernment which it was able to
create, our country has avoided
the more serious of the evils re-
sulting from the World war.
The more desirable portions of
the earth are well tenanted now,
so that not many young people
can emulate their pioneer ances-
tors and create improved condi
tions in new surroundings. But -
the fact that ther must usually!
settle down somewhere near their
homes, Hoes not mean that they
must follow the old ruts.
They will do well to reverence
the wisdom of the past, and build ;
their institutions on practical hu-
man experience rather than the-
ory. But they must always re-1
tain a share of the pioneer ener-
gy that has developed improved ,
civilizations, always be looking!
for better things, always trying
to carry into their community I
life the spirit of action and;
achievement that has carried the
world forward through all epochs
of history.
