Old Age Pension Laws,
Idaho is the fourteenth state to
write an Old Age Pension law in its
statute books. The Idaho law is man-
(latoi'y, not optional, and provides that
Idaho's a (.red-dependents shall receive
a pension not to exceed $300 per an- !
num. The law is administered and
the funds provided by the county kov- !
ern merits.
A few days later, Colorado made its '
old age pension law statewide audi
mandatory, becoming the first state to'
convert the old county-option into ai
Mandatory measure.
Old age pension legislation, how-
ever, by no means is confined to the
states of the West. Its path of prog-
ress extends from coast to coast, and
it is not improbable that another
decade will find it written into Uio
statute books of most of the state? of
I ho Union.
Texas now has a county-option
"Mother's Pension" law. Some dis-
cussion of the model bid-age pension
laws, such as the one enacted by Ida-
ho, has been had in the columns of
Texas newspapers. There is hand-
writing upon the wall.

I noticed an article the other day
entittled "It isn't the size of the dog
in the fiffht—It's the size of the fight
in the dog". 1 thought sure that is
so. How often 1 have seen big men
get in what we call sometimes the
"dumps" and atop trying to fight.
They will let the least little thing get
them down. How much fight can
you put up for the Christ? How
much can you put up for that boy or
girl of yours? How much can you
put up for your church ? I have seen
lot of people that would let the least
little thing stop them from doing
their part in the church of the living
Christ—They just haven't the fight
in them, they are big enough to do
lots but they won't fight. Remember
it isn't the size of the dog. Even
though our church is small we can do
great things for our Master if we
will fight the good fight for the right.
Come to church Sunday.

What About May Chicks
May chicks aiu as good as March
and April chicks if they are not al-
lowed out too etirly in the morning on
the cold ;-round and in the dews.
We are going to hatch chicks right
on through May and the chicks that
we hatch will live and grow if the
rijrbt care of them is taken. We
don't sell chicks as cheap as some we
know. But we can prove that we are
hatching as good chicks as you can
buy anywhere. A few cents more
per chick to get quality frequently
represents profits in dollars on each
fine pullet raised. If you must econ-
omize this year buy fewer chicks ana
better quality.
Practice sanitation. Not even well
bred stock can survive bad manage-
ment, and prevention is infinitely
better than cure. Place your order
with Mr. J. R. Hk-fin<> at The Farm-
ers Produce Co, Also if you have
etrgs and want them hatched leave
them with Mr. Higgins. We :iet four
days each week. If you want better
chicks buy them from ue
Superior Hatchery,
Hamlin, Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. Pete Blackshear and
Marguerite spent Sunday with his
mother and sisters at Matador.
Revival Services Come
To a Close
The revival services being held at
the Baptist Church for the past
twelve clays U scheduled to close to-
night.
Bro. P. G. Rogers of Spur who has
been doing the preaching huts com-
pletely won the hearts of his heareis
as from time to time he brought the
simple truths from God's Word in the
forceful way that he has been so
richly endowed.
The meeting may not have been so
much of a success as the world counts
success but to Him who looks into the
hearts of his children know that they
have been strengthened und drawn
closer to Him; many have rededicated
their lives to His service; and ;many
have been made to realize their lost
condition and accepted Christ as their
Savior.
We are rejoiced that Bro. Rogers
came Our way for these few days .ser-
vices.
Attends Celebration
Mr. and Mrs. Chaa. F. Gibson spent
Sunday and Monday in Crowe 11 vis-
iting in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lee
Ribble, attending the celebration of
Foard County's fortieth birthday,
meeting old friends, and taking a
peep at "old timers" a.s they liveu
years ago.
The celebration wa.s a home-coming
for old cow-men and many other peo-
ple who live in various parts of the
west.
The day was spent in viewing
show windows filled with relics and
old apparel worn many years ago;
listening to mu.sk by old time fiddlers;
watching the old cow men in the
square-dance in the street.
An old fashioned basket lunch was
spread on the court house lawn and
extra of this was a chuck wagon din-
ner for old cow men. The afternoon
was given to a parade showing both
the old and the new also to speaking
by prominent people of Crowell and
near by towns. This was a day that
will be remembered by all who were
present.
Miss Martelle West who is taking
business couurse in Abilene school
spent the week-end with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. West.

Mr. and Mrs. Dobbins of Stamford
are spending the week with their

Undergoes Operation
Horace Ellison was carried to
West Texas Baptist Sanitarium,
Tuesday for an appendicitis operation.
This was another case of ruptured ap-
pendix of some 1C or 18 hours stand-
ing and was thought doubtful of re-
covery. However, he was reported as
resting better at 8 o'clock this—
Thursday—morning. It was thought
that if he could pass this the third
day, chances would be more favorable.

Twelve State Officials
Urge Cotton Clothes
For Senior Classes
From the State Department of Ag-
riculture, J. E, McDonald, Commis-
sioner.
'All Texas' Commencements is Plea.
Twelve state officials joined in a
message urging all Texans to give a
prominent place in 1931 commence-
ment exercises to Texas' most beauti-
tiful flower and Texas most valuable
agricultural products—the bluebonnet
ana cotton.
"We, as your state officials and
public servants," the message said,
"would be delighted if Texas teachers
and pupils would clothe themselves
for the commencement exercises in
cotton garments upon which is pinned
a bouquet of bluebonnets picked from
Texas prairies or gardens."
Officials signing the message were:
Governor Ross S. Sterling; Edgar
E. Witt, lieutenant governor and
president of the senate; Fred .11.
Minor, speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives; Jane Y. McCallum, Secre-
tary of state; J. E. McDonald, com-
missioner of agriculture; S. M. N.
Marrs, superintendent of public in-
struction; Roy I. Ten nan t, member of
the state board of control; Charley
Lockhart, state treasurer; C. F. Petet,
secretary, for the state railroad com-
mission; James V. Allred, attorney
general; J, H. Walker, land commis-
sioner; and George H. Sheppard,
state comptroller.
The message to which they affixed
their signatures follows:
"As we approach the eventful
time of year—the time when our pub-
lic schools end with their commence-
ment exercises recording the effects
of our endeavors toward society and
Christianity, we, as parents, are con-
cerned with the garments which will
clothe our children on this eventful
occasion. Just at present, nature has
our prairies, the pride of every Texan,
clothed in native flowers of varied
color, the Texas Bluebonnet predomi-
nating. Surely the eyes of a king or
queen never beheld more impressive
beauty.
"Does this not give us an idea for
selecting the clothing for our children
—the pride of Texas, the men and wo-
men of tomorrow—to be worn at the
closing exercises of our schools—
schools which are supported by taxes ?
Dame Fashion has decreed that cot-
ton is smart dress material this year.
Nature in clothing our prairies with
beautiful native flowers, has given us
a wise suggestion: Clothe oar children
and teachers in cotton, the staple
product of our farms, for the com-
mencement exercises of our schools,
and then, let the parents and friends
drive out for the closing exercises, v
as we drive out to view our prairies,
and then let our hearts thrill with pa-
triotic pride. Texas children, Texas
flowers, Texas cotton.
"Texas produces one-third of the
cotton produced in the United Sta "
It is the greatest of all textile plaifta
it economic condition is fundamet^
to the general welwsr* of every 1*
an. We, as your state officials t
public servants, would be delighter
Texas teachers and pupils wc
clothe themselves for the closing
ercices of the schools in cotton, u|
which is pinned • bouquet of flow
plucked from the Texas prairies
gardens."
