DRUG MEETING
BID FOR CONVENTION EN-
TERED AT RECENT
AMARILLO SESSION
The bid of Sweetwater for one
of the next semi-annual conven-
tions of the West Texas Drug-
gists’ Association will be con-
sidered by the executive com-
mittee when it shortly convenes to
select the next meeting city.
Sweetwater’s invitation was en-
tered last week at Amarillo by
John Hendrix when the body was
in session there.
Indications were that this city
would be given either the August
or March convention of the as-
sociation, Mr. Hendrix said.
Abilene and Plainview also
asked for the next convention.

Modern Science
Dear Editor:
As the flea said when he grab-
bed the elephant, “I always select
a big subject and then hit the high
places.” Science has always been
an outstanding weakness of mine,
r fall for it just like a Cherokee
Indian for a peroxide blonde. I’ll
probably curl up some day and die
under its spell.
Domestic science has recently
sunk its fangs deeply into my
porous corpus and I’m now some
six pounds underweight. It abid-
eth at my house. It siteth at my
table and dictateth my chow. It
cuteth my hog and hominy way
short. V> hen I hunger for ham and
eggs, I get raw cabbage, carrots,
snd other cow feed. You see, it’s
sary to look a disaster of this kind
squarely in the scramble and not
shudder.
' I tried to bunk with a sciential
once—he was a kind of comet
hunter, so to speak. He was most
entertaining. I couldn’t sleep when
he was awake and the devil
couldn’t sleep when he wasn’t.
Jle’d snore violently for a short
spell, then he’d rise up suddenly,
and stroll into outer darkness.
He’d return later with the tale of
a fresh comet that had just broken
lose and gotten away. While re-
lating his last find, he’d always
slip his icy hooks up against my
person in such a way that it
seemed impossible for me to com-
pletely ignore him. His lovely wife
became fed up on his peculiar
habits, smote him across his mid
section with her hand bag and
went back home to her mother. He
later became intangled in a rope
and fell from a bridge. His death
seems to have been caused by his
intellectual dome failing to slip
thru the noose. It seems that
quite a few of our scientists take
on immortality in this manner.
While the foregoing tragedy has
materially hindered me in the
study of science, I feel that we
are deeply indebted to some think-
er for practically every privilege
that we now enjoy. When I think
of the 42 years that Sir Isaac
Newton labored on the law of
gravity, I almost succumb. I never
fall from a pecan tree that I don’t
stop when I hit the ground and
give Ikey all the praise. While it
may be in terms that only a model
T driver can understand, I be-
lieve in giving credit where credit
is due. We’re using his celebrated
accomplishment now more than
we ever did. It’s proving a great from

SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
By Rev. Charles E. Dunn, D.D.
Jesus Ministering to Jews and
Gentiles
Lesson for April 2^ Mark 7:24-37
Golden Text: John 10:16
This Sunday we begin the sec-
ond quarter of our year’s studies
that will bring us to the end of
the gospel of Mark. We shall study I ^ ehi]dren.g scraps.” Her point
the latter portion of the energetic I clear]y was that if the Gentjies
min.stry of Jesus, iare t0 be treatpd as houschold
Gentiles. But this incident makes
it perfectly clear that Jesus, in
this metaphor, was speaking play-
fully, with gentle irony. It is
worth noting that the Greek word
for “dogs” used by the Msfcster is
a diminutive, literally meaning
“puppies.” Jesus thereby softened
His allusion, employing a term for
household pests. The woman was
keen enough to sense His good
humour, and to turn the metaphor
so that it served her need. “True,
Sir,” she cleverly replied, “and

The reply of the Master, if con-
sidered by itself, apart from its
getting, seems harsh. “It is not
right,” He said, “to take the chil-
dren’s bread and throw it to the
dogs.” Now the word “dog” was a
term of contempt used by the
Jews of Christ’s day for the

oyster shell and meat scraps cost-
ing $2.09 were fed to produce

grinding, and worm medicine, and
took in $91.14. Her turkeys sold
for 10 1-2 cents per pound.
