THE AMERICAN'S CREED
I believe in the United States of
America as a government of the
people, by the people, for the people;
whoee just powers are derived from
the consent of the governed; a de-
mocracy in a republic; a sovereign
nation of many sovereign states; a
perfect union, one and inseparable;
established upon thoac principles of
’freedom, equality, justice, and hu-
manity for which American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I, therefore,^ believe it is my duty to
my Country td love it; to support its
Constitution; to obey is laws; to re-
aped its flag; and to defend it against
aO* enemies.

journey. And the editor tliroweth
himself on the story of a farewell
party. It runneth * column solid.
And the fair one remembereth hiip
from afar with a picture postal card
that coetcib six for a jitney.
Behold, ahe retumeth, and the
youth of the town fall down and
worship.' She pkketh one and lo,
ahe picketh* a lemon. Bi|t the editor
calleth him one of 'our promising
young men and getteth away with it.
And they send unto the editor a bid
to tho wedding, and behold the bids
are fashioned in a far city. '.u.
Flowery and long is the wedding
notice which the editor printeth.
The minister fetteth 10 bones. The
groom standeth the editor off for a
IS months 'subscription.
All flesh is grass and in time the
wife is gathered unto the soil. The
minister getteth his bit. The editor
printeth s death notice, two eoulmns
of obituary, three lodge notices,. a
cubit of poetry and a card of thanks.
And he forgetteth to read proof on
the dead and darned thing cometh
out “Gone to Her Last Roasting
Place.”
And ajl' that are akin to the de-
ceased jumpeth on the editor with
exceeding great jumps. And they
pulleth out their ads and cancelleth
their subs, and they swing the ham*
mer even unto the third and fourth
generations.
Considering the opportunities of
by education and otherwise to
obtain « wide range of information
•n all issues of vital concern, it is
remarkable how few, both young am
eld, ere interested in anything other
than the frivolous things of life..
Architects are planning the con-
struction of houses in Manila which
will be sufficiently strong, it is
thought, to withstand earthquakes.
If successful they doubtless will he
given an opportunity to try their
hand at designing buildings in this
country that will stand the pressure
of e cyclone.

The Oklahoma minister who of-
ficiated at his own wedding and is
now facing a charge of abduction,
the girl be married and ran way
with being only 16, evidently realized
the difficulty of getting any one to
tie the knot and decided to utiiiso
the authority vested in himself.
A “petticoat cabinet” for Mrs.
Ferguson is one of the latest sug-
gestions emanating from Austin.
Whether the plan meets with the ap-
proval of her husband and chief ad-
vieor, James E. Ferguson, the dis-
patch does not state, but in this, ss
in other matters, the prevailing
opinion among Ferguson adherents
is that Ma will wear the “britches.”

FOR CHECK USERS
Ten rules for thwarting the ambi-
tious check swindlers have been set
out by the forgery prevention bu-
reau and are quoted as follows in
the* American Banker, a trade pub-
lication.
1. Keep blank checks and vouchers
under lock.
2. Write checks with safety ink
or with a check writing machine that
shreds the paper and impregnates it
with the amount in ineradicable ink.
3. In writing checks leave as little
space as possible between the figures
of the amount, and start the written
amount as close to the left hand
margin as possible, drawing heavy
parallel lines through the unfilled
space.
4- In drawing check* use only al-
teration prpof check paper.
5. Destroy all checks marred in
drawing and never permit a check
to be issued with any erasures on it.
6. Do not issue checks to unvouch-
ed-for strangers.
7. Do not sign blank checks.
8. Scrutinize all certified checks,
as the stamps are not difficult to
duplicate. *
9. Be careful where -sriYif* how you
sign your -banking signature.
—checks you deposit, write
above your signature “For Deposit
Only,” thus making it impossible for
them to be cashed without altera-
tions

An interesting story, wr.tten by
Oswin King, appeared in last Sun-
day’s Dallas News' concerning the
many things of value found in
clothes that are sent to cleaning and
pressing shops. The large estab-
lishments, he says, have a man to do
nothing but go through the pockets
of clothes they receive. In ndditioh
to money, diamonds, watches, etc.,
some peculiar and amusing things
are found. Recently a woman called
Dallas cleaning and pressing par-
lor and said: “Please look in my
husband’s suit I sent down this
morning and get my stockings and
underwear.’* At the searcher’s desk
the articles tailed "for were found.

Dr. G. W. Black has had a unique
experiencip. Some month* ago . fcp,
acquired k set of artificial teeth.
Much to his surprise he discovered
when he began using the teeth that
his desire for tobacco disappeared,
and he took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to “swear off.” Since divorc-
ing himself from the habit, which he
formed in the heyday of life, Dr.
Black enjoy* more refreshing sleep
and has made a notable gain in
avoirdupois, his appetite being unaf-
fected by the acquisition of new
molars. Before severing his ulliance
with the product of this famous
plafnt. the doctor’s favorite brand
was Brown Mule. Sinpe the refor-
