This editor and family acknowledge

Ilul now tho deer hunter, must travel
many miles lo find the few remaining
remnants of the fast vanishing spei-ii-
of that kind of An erican wild game.
Mr. Knight enjoys an annual winter
deer hunt every year In Southwest
Texas. He and Mrs. Knight and two or
three older couples, recently returned
from their this winter's hunt. They
traveled by auto and, besides bagging
several deer, turkey and other small-
er game, they had u most delightful
social time and invigorating season ol
outdoor sport and recreation. In-. Joe
Knight stands at the top of his pro-
fession (Osteopathy) In Texas, He Is a
disciple and exemplar of Ihe sensible
theory of a proper admixture iu right
proportion of hard work and Intermis-
sions of relaxation for both mind and
body. "Keeping physically lit" is his
favorite motto for both self and his
many patients. Always wear a beam
ing smile and extend a cordial, vigor-
ous, warm handclasp und look for the
blessings of life to be thankful for, arc
also Ills precepts and practices.
As an intimate i'l it iid of many yeais
of Mr. Joe Knight, we venture lo in-
terpret Ills pot creed in the following
apt language of Orison Hwctl .Mard'-n.
You cannot complain of your liappi
ness, because it is your own child, tbe
product of your own brain, your own
effort. It has been made up of your
motives, colored by your life aim. It
exactly corresponds to the cause wh!< li
produced It.
Most people postpone their enjoy-
ment until they ure disappointed to
find the powor of enjoyment has large-
ly gone by and that even If they had
the means they could not get anything
like as much real happiness out of li
as they could have gotten as they went
along when they were younger. Take
no chances with your happiness, ot-
itic sort of a life that can produce it;
whatever else your risk, do not risk
this. Marly form the "happy" habit,
the habit of enjoyment every day, no
matter what comes or does not com"
to you during the day. Pick crumbs
of comfort out of your situation, no
matter how unpleasant or disagree-
able.
