The
Good
Word
Sometimn aero I read an arti
cle telling of some of the prob-
lems encountered in translating
the Bible into several hundred
languages and dialects. Transta
tors experience great difficulty
in conveying Bible words into
understandable terms to the
various people of the world.
The various renderings of the
marized the characteristics of a
hypocrite by calling him "a man
with a straight mouth and a
crooked heart." The Kikongo
people of the Belgian Congo des-
cribe such a person as " the bit-
terness of white." This idiom is
derived from the appearance and
taste of white-wash which looks
so fine but tastes so bitter.
The Malagory speaking people
of the Madagascar designate a
hypocrite as "one who spreads
out a clean raffia mat" for this
is what the untidy housewife
does when she sees guests conv
ing up the path and she wants to i
cover up th0 dirt and filth on J
the floor.
May the Lord help us to do
away with all deceit and shame
and never pretend to be
something that wo are not. May
he help us to see ourselves as wo
really are before him and may
wo so repent and submit our
lives to Christ that by his grace
he can make us what we ought
to be.

Delayed On Forced
Livestock Sales
COLLEGE STATION Live-
stock producers who were for-
ced to sell breeding or dairy ani-
mals due to drouth conditions
during the winter and earlv
spring may delay paying taxes
on any profit.
According to an economist for
the 'lexas Acxicultural Exton
sion Service such a forced sale
is an involuntary conversion.
and any taxes on gains need not
be paid if the producer re
places the stock within 24
months from the close of the
tax year in which the animals
were sold.
If the producer fails to make
such replacement he must file
an amended return with the In-
ternal Revenue Service (IRS)
for the year of the sale and pay
the tax points out Dr.
Hayenga.
In the year of the sale the
producer must furnish the IRS
evidence of drouth the amount
of profit from the sale and the
number of animals sold as well
as the numbor he would have
sold under normal conditions.
As evidence of drouth the IRS
accepts records of below-normal
rainfall and poor grazing news-
paper clippings of U.S. Weather
Bureau reports and reports
from the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service.
Losses from involuntary con-
version are deductible in the
year they are sustained.
Hayenga urges producers to
check the Farmers Tax Guide
before reporting forced sales of
breeding or dairy stock. A copy
may be obtained from the IRS
or any county Extension office.
Keep Mower
Blades Sharp
COLLEGE STATION One
of the most important mainten-
ance procedures on rotary lawn
mowers is keeping the blade
sharp says Lambert Wilke3
professor of agricultural engi-
neering at Texas A&M Universi
ty.
"It is important from the
standpoint of energy conserva-
tion" Wilkes points out. "If the
blade is sharp enough to slice
the grass rather than beat it off
the engine is under less load
and therefore uses less gasoline
to perform an equal amount of
work."
Wilkes notes that a sharp
blade is less hazardous than a
dull one since "most accidents
occur due to the constant push
ing and pulling when using a
dull blade.
"Another reason for keeping
a blade sharp is simply that a
lawn will look better when the
grass is sliced rather than beat-
en" Wilkes explains.
Mower blades are made of
high carbon tempered steel.
"These blades can be sharpen-
ed with grinders so long as care
is taken to avoid getting the
metal too hot when sharpening"
the agricultural engineer ex
plains. "If discoloration of the
metal is noted the temper is
lost.
"A sharp blade will probably
last a full mowing season if it is
used on one lawn only" says
Wilkes "It will need sharpening
more often if used for custom
lawn mowing."
Lawn mower blades should bo
sharpened at a 45-degree bevel.

later I had to admit finishing

Of course at this age I'm

One day last week when wo
received the mail we learned that
Martha Mitchell 57 who was
more or less responsible for the
exposure of Watergate and the
filth In Washington D. C had
passed away ALONE in a New
York hospital. The newspaper
didn't carry a picture of Martha
or big head lines on the passing
of this lady who tried to warn
the people of this Nation what
was happening in Washington.
iSVlo no in nnaJMrm tn lrlrm no
Waynejohn N Mitchell hnr husband.
was Attorney General and the
right hand man of Nixon the
President at that time.
When she finally testified on
Watergate her testimony came
to zero perhaps she worded it
to protect her husband John
Mitchell who turned his back on
her before she became gravely
ill with cancer. According to a
hospital spokesman her husband
and children were notified of her
grave condition but were not
with her when she died. What
People !!!
On television we saw a large
floral arrangement of white
mums with large letters of dark
flowers on an easel which read:
"Martha Was Right". She ap-
peared to us as a brave woman
who tried to warn this Nation
and protect the man she mar
ried yet Nixon and his gang
tried to keep her from exposing
them. Wo mourn the death of
Martha Mitchell and feel no pity
for the family who ignored her
during her last days on this
earth. We admire her spunk!
There is more "Hanky-panky"
in Washington! Wayne Hays
64 Congressman from Ohio is
still in the headlines and by his
own belated admission had "re-
lationship" over an extended
period of time with Elizabeth
Ray whom he reportedly placed
on the Public payroll at $14000
a year knowing she wasn't cap-
able of performing the duties of
a committee clerk. Our politi
cians ar0 not making a very good
public opinion of themselves.
Thank God they are not all guil-
ty of embezzling the taxpayers.
Wo should learn more about
the individuals wo vote for t
the polls and place in public of-
fices. Texas has had its experien
ce and voters had the nerve to
replace them in Austin. No one
is perfect but the public isn't
paying all of our salaries.
We read in The Dallas News
that lawyers across the state
have been searching for a write-
in candidate for Texas Supreme
Court who has as much name re-
cognition as Democratic nomi-
nee Don Yarbrough. They think
they have found him in a Den-
ton Judge named Sam Houston.
They hasten to say that this
Houston is well qualified to
serve on the Supreme Court
bench. He is now a state district
court judge in Denton County.
A flood of business related
lawsuits against Yarbrough as
well as a Houston Bar Associa-
tion grievance and a State Secur-
ities Board investigation have
been revealed following his sur-
prising primary win May 1.
Political observers credited
his win to name similarity to
former gubernatorial candidate
Don Yarborough and former
U. S. Senator 'Ralph Yarborough.
(Note that the last two have an
extra "o" in their names.)
We hope that Sam Houston
accepts the challenge and that
the write-in is successful.
