pose In these words appearing
alongside the picture of ‘‘Mother’
printed in a beautiful purple
hue—“In Memory arid in Honor
of the Mothers' of America.”
Here is a stamp, we ace quite
certain everyone around Teague
will agree, that pays a tribute to
those wtfir~rwalty deserve it, the
mothers of Ameriea. No war he‘
r<«, no monument, no celebration
tor anniversary, no great inventor,
in fact, nothing on earth is as
much entitled to special recogni-
tion .as those to whom this at-
troclive ‘new stamp is honorably
dedicated. It took the country a
long time to get around to it, tjut
now that it has been done let us
hope that it remains as a perma-
nent part of our postal depart -
mant part of our postal depart-
since the last shot was fired in
that tremendous conflict between
the North and South which his-
tory records as the American
“Civil AVar. The pitiful tfttte
handiful of survivors of that
great struggle are now old, old
men. Whatever hatred or bitter-
ness they *folt for each other has
lorig since been resolved by the
kindly, soothing hand of time.
It Is' not necessary here to go
into the causes of that titanic
struggle. Leave that to the his-
torians and interpreters, who will fine
| not have finished in another sev-
enty years, nor in seventy times
seventy, their efforts^ to'..make
the events of. the—1840’s prove
this, that, or the .other theory.
The fact remains that the sur-
vivors . and the descendants of
loth sides have equal cause for
pride.
We believe
that aTT ITie rancor,
the sectional bitterness that that n°t*
be on sale forever in every post-
effiee in the United States.
CHEAP PROTECTION.
After all is said and done, the
cheapest insurance “against—dis-
ease at this season of the year
is a liberal use of ordinary lime.
Work of spring cleaning ' is. now
under way around Teague homco.
Rut the work is not complete un-
less some sanitary measures are
resorted to, and here is where
common ordinary lime comes in.
Scattered on the lawn it is a
fertilizer. Shaken about
damp spots, an alleys and around
out-buildings, it is a certain ele-
minator of disease breeding nests
of flies and mosquitoes. Used
for whitewashing, it not only
beautifies fences and buildings,
but protects the lumber from ter-
mites and other wood boring bugs.
No other disinfectant costs as
little; none is more effective.

This test is ntatle very graphic by
Tolstoi’s story. "Where Love Is, God
Is.” Martin, a devout cobbler, lived
in a basement room with only one
window. In his old Age he thought
much about his soul. One night he
sat up late reading the gospel until
he fell asleep. A v«ice called to him, For
"Martin, Martin! Look out into the
street tomorrow, for I shall come.”____
The next day an old, broken down
soldier came to Martin’s window, and
cleared away the snow with his spade.

SOME DO’S AND DON’TS.
We once asked a Teague physi-
cian if he thought so-called spring
tonics, made of roots and herbs,
did people any good. His reply
was: “Yes. If they will get out
in the fresh air and dig the roots
and herbs themselves.”------

the do’s and the don’ts of that old

PULL THE WEEDS.
There are thousands of persons
throughout the nation, and a small
army of lawmakers in-- the state
legislatures and congress who
seem to feel that the way to

fought for the Confederacy. But
the tears that are shed and the

them, a nation’s tribute to what
we must still regard as the high-

NO BANDIT MOVIES.
Every father and mo^ier ar-
ound Teague should join in thank-
ing Will Hayes, czar of the mov-
ing picture industry, for his de-
claration that no pictures shall
be produced glorifying the life
and exploits of the bandit, John
Dillinger. . It is the most sensi-
ble decision the moving pictures
ever made. There is no occa-
sion for making a hero of Dillin-
gtr; no reason for extolling his
career of crime in the eyes of the
younger generation. At best, Dil-|l
linger is nothing more than a
reckless, kill-crazed character of
the lowest type, without the sem-
of respect for human life.

A GREAT IDEA IS BORN
BrtKC Barton
YT was assumed that when a woman married she took the
gods of her husband; if he died .and she must go back io
her-own people, she abandoned her husband’s gods and took
theirs again. But when the ten tribes of Israel split away
from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, Jeho-
vah did not go to either one or the other, but
remained with both. His worship was often
neglected, but in their hearts the people knew
that He was s^ill their God and always at the
time of tribulation they threw down their idols
and returned to Him.
The idea of One God—unseen and not to be
worshipped in visible form—had been born in
the world, ahd had taken firm hold upon hu-
man minds. This is the outstanding achieve-
ment of the Hebrews, the thing which gives
the Old Testament eternal truth and inspira-
tion. ' .
In its total effect the Old Testament is a record of God’s
progressive revelation of Himself to men. This is the second
element in its greatness. Steadily from Genesis to Micah
the conception of His nature and quality grows clearer
bigger, finer.
We have referred already to Amos, who was not a priest
and; had nothing but scofn for the formulae arid ritual of th2
veqTabl?sKecI religion. He saw the temple courtyards red with
blood and men seeking through sacrifices to buy the right to
he iniquitous, and he cried outT~G5d Cafes nothing for sacri-
fice; He is a God of Justice.3’
I hate, I despise your feast days, arid I will not smell in your
solemn assemblies.
Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings I
will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of
your fat beasts. -
* But let judgment run down’ as waters, and righteousness as a
mighty stream.
As a conception of the Almighty this represented a vast
step upward. In those same days another preacher, Hosea,
was adding anotherJitem to the expanding fund of truth!
Hosea was a marricd"man, and his yvife was a flirt. So much
so that Hosea was compelled finally to put tyer away. His
friends said “good riddance,” but Hosea was tom by lone-
someness, sorrow and regret. This woman who had wronged

The Malay Mail reports a strike
among tailors. It is stated that
the employes get free board and
" 1 ridging," in addition to“ wages.
The strange feature of the strike
is that while the men are out,
they still receive room and meals
from their employers.
Some cities have been dealt

never been downed .for long.

it is smart to be reckless when
driving an automobile, but it is
not smart to be careless of ano-

Martin. They had tea together.
Then later a strange woman, with
shabby clothes, and a crying baby
passed Martin's window. Marin in-
vited her in. fed her, gave her an old
cloak, and played with the baby until
it laughed. ..... ———I
Later still an apple-woman stopped
in front of Martin’s window. A boy
snatched an apple, and tried to steal
away. The woman seized him and
scolded. Martin came out and pleaded
“for forgiveness. — ..
That night'Martin again onened the
New Testament. He seemed . hear
footsteps. Sure enough, there was
the_ old soldier, the woman and her
baby, and the apple-woman and boy.
