By Mary Fowler
Entering the lobby of the Algerita
Inn at Post, I was startled to see a
lean, mean-looking cat—the biggest
cat I’d ever seen—peering at me
from behind a post. Then I realized
that it was a wildcat that had been
stuffed. The lobby of the picturesque
inn is adorned with eagles, owls and
other examples of the taxidermist’s
art. Incidentally, the Algerita was
built by the late C. W. Post, the ce-
real king.

Somebody has defined a waffle as
a non-skid pancake.
A man with newspaper experience
is a candidate for the State Supreme
Court—Col. Gordon Simpson of Ty-
ler, veteran of World Wars I and
II. His grandparents came to Texas
by ox wagon before the Civil War.
Born 50 years ago in Gilmer, Simp-
son attended Baylor and the Univer-
sity of Texas, receiving his law de-
gree after he had entered the Army
in 1917, attending Leon Sprngs’ first
officers’ training camp.
After the Armistice, the young
lieutenant engaged'briefly in the cot-
ton business in Dallas and El Paso;
then began the practice of law in Ty-
ler, at that time a serene little city
in the cotton country, so the attorney
supplemented his income by serving
as correspondent for big city papers,
writing up fires, killings and other
local events.
Simpson served two years in the
legislature, then was district judge,
a position his father once had held.
When oil was struck in East Texas,
Simpson's law practice grew rapidly
and he has had a large appellate
practice, including the Supreme
Court of the United States
Recognized for ability and charac-
ter by his fellow lawyers, Simpson
was elected director of the State Bar
Association, chairman of the board
and, in 1942, president. He found
time to serve as Smith County Fair
president and as teacher of a Men’s
Bible Class.
With the entry of the United States
into World War II, Colonel Simpson
bade farewell to his wife and daugh-
ters to re-enter the Army and has
been overseas 7 months. The Smith
County man’s name was filed as a
candidate for the State Supreme
Court by friends.

TEXAS FARMERS SEEM
TO BE DOING OKAY
‘‘We are all looking forward to a
just peace, but the mere attainment
of peace does not suffice,” says Ma-
dame Chiang Kai-shek of China. “To
insure that it will be lasting, to
achieve in perpetuity the Christian
ideal of peace on earth, we must have
valiant leadership and the concerted
consecration to that ideal of all
peace-loving men and women. To
take that leadership, regardless of
cost, is the privilege and duty of the
Christian Church, for that is the road
pointing to the Cross.”

The Federation of Protestant Wel-
fare Agencies of New York City,
representing twelve different agen-
cies interested in placing Protestant
children in foster homes, in urging
pastors of the city to assist in having
members of their congregations pro-
vide Christian home life for addition-
al hundreds of children. Many of
these little ones are the victims of
war situations. According to Presi-
dent Henry Fletcher: “Churches of-
fer the best potential source of the
type of foster home for which the
agencies are looking. These are
stable, Christian homes which will
give love, security and guidance
necessary if these children are to
grow up into happy, normal human
beings.”
Mary Stone, M. D., famed Chinese
physician and president of Bethel
Mission in Kweichow, China—one of
the most notable Chinese-operated
Christian centers in Asia. Dr. Stone
is the daughter of the first Chinese
Christian to be ordained a minister
in central China. Realizing the need
of medical work among women of
China, this minister and an American
missionary arranged for the girl to
secure a medical education in Ameri-
ca. That training was taken at the
University of Michigan and at Johns
Hopkins Medical School. For years
Dr. Stone was the only physician
serving a district of five million
A REAFFIRMATION OF LOYALTY
by Ruth Taylor
On this Fourth of July, the one
hundred and sixty-eighth anniver-
sary of the signing of the Declara-
tion of Independence, it is fitting
that we pause and take stock of what
this cornerstone of our American
way of life really means, that we re-
affirm our loyalty to those things in
which we believe.
The Declaration of Independence
was much more than a proclamation
emancipating the thirteen colonies
from the mother country. It was the
first statement of a new philosophy
Among present-day visitors from
China to the United States is Miss
people in central China. She founded,0f freedom, a long range program by
which and through which to es-
tablish a government of the people,
by the people and for the people.
The Declaration of Independence
was the credo through adherence to
which we became the first self-con-
stituted people—not brought togeth-
er by an acceptance of the practical
ideal of the Fatherhood of God and
the Brotherhood of Man which is the
cornerstone of freedom, the basis of
all monotheistic faiths, be it Catahol-
icism, Judaism or Protestantism.
The price of feedom has always
been high. But its price is never too
high for those who have known what
enslavement meant. Voluntarily we
have given up much in money, in
time, and in many of the things we
had come to look upon as essential.
The toll in patience, courage and
long sufferng has been great—but
the sacrifices are mutual sacrifices,
a hospital, a nurse training school.
Later there was founded Bethel Mis-
sion in Shanghai, including Bethel
Hospital, Bethel Training School, a
School of Obstetrics, and a program
of evangelization and education.
With the coming of the war and the
attack on Shanghai, much of the mis-
sion was moved elsewhere but con-
tinues to serve; at Kweichow two
orphanages and schools are conduct-
ed by the Mission at the present
time.”

The history of the regular army of
the United States dates from June
14, 1775, when Congress authorized
the enlistment of a corps of ten com-
panies of riflemen for one year in
the service of the United Colonies.

It’s too late to learn when you
think you know it all!
Wheat farmers of Texas can ex-
pect more than twice as high returns
from their crop this year as last, a
JLTpiV^irsity.-tff'Toxas agricultural sta-
tistidafi predicts.
“The latest government estimate is
more than 60 million bushels, almost
twice that of a year ago," Dr. F. A.
Buechel, statistical analyst for the
University’s Bureau of Business Re-
search, points out, and current farm
prices are approximately $1.40 per
bushel, or well above the price at
this time last year.”
The North Panhandle—which the
bureau lists as district 1-N, center-
ing around Amarillo—can expect re-
ceipts of approximately $60,000,000,
or an average of nearly $5,000 per
farm from wheat alone, he said.
Three-fourths of the state's wheat
production comes from that district.
The state as a whole has already
earned $328,000,000 in farm cash in-
come this year during the first five
months of 1944, compared to $319,-
000,000 during the like period of
1943.
During May, cash receipts for
farm products totaled $83,000,000, an
increase of 14 per cent over May,
1943, Dr. Buechel said. The Univer-
sity bureau showed a statistical in-
dex during May that was 175 per
cent higher than the May average
for the five-year period 1928-32, Dr.
Buechel said.
In May a year ago, Texas poultry
raisers did not ship a single car of
chickens or turkeys to out-of-state
market — but in May, 1944, they
shipped 27 cars of chickens and nine
cars of turkeys, the Bureau reports.
Shipments of eggs to out-of-state
markets in May totaled 870 cars,
compared to 850 cars in May last
year.

BUT the price of electricity has come down like this!
Nobody needs to tell you that the
cost of living has been soaring
toward high C.
But maybe you do need a re-
minder that the cost of electricity
has been sliding deep down.
If yours is an average household
in South and Southwest Texas,
you’re getting about twice as much
electricity for your money today
as you did 15 years £go. And 1944
government figures show that the
average price has continued to ease
off a little—even since war began
That fact ought to be music to
your ears!
Getting prices down and keep-
ing them down is one of the elec-
tric industry’s greatest achieve-
ments.
It took a lot of planning, per-
spiration and practical business
management to do this job in war-
time. All CPL’ers played a part.

The Declaration of Independence
has given us more than any other
