Texas never could have become a great state without the courage and
devotion to duty of her lawmen—nor without the commerce and
industry that have provided prosperity and the good life. The brewing
industry, too. has had a part in this development. Providing payrolls and
the pleasure of moderate beverages, revenue and relaxation — "beer
belongs." The United States Brewers Association is constantly at work
with brewers, wholesalers, retailers and local authorities to assure the sale
of beer and ale under pleasant, orderly and law-abiding conditions.

bereaved ones.
Mrs. Ezell (Susie, as she
known by close friends),
the daughter of a Methodist
Parsonage Couple, the late Rev.
and Mrs. J. W. Cherry of the
Tennessee Conference.
She attended the Methodist
Training School (now Scarritt
College), at Nashville, Tenn., in
anticipation of doing mission-
ary work. Upon the completion
of her work, she volunteered to
go as a missionary to Africa,
but due to health reasons she
could not carry out her plans,
but later accepted a position as
a home missionary teacher in
the Presbyterian Mission School
at Gerrant, Kentucky.
She was later married to Wil-
liam S. Ezell, and in March,
1919 the couple moved to Tex-
as. When Brother Ezell decided
to take up the Methodist min-
istry as his chosen life work,
Mrs. Ezell encouraged him in
every way possible.
Since the year 1920 she faith-
fully stood by his side in the
work of the itinerant ministry.
Thus for 37 years and 7 months
she worked for the Lord in the
capacity of a Preacher’s wife.
Most of their parishioners af-
fectionately knew them as “Bil-
ly and Susie.”
Her specialty and joy in the
various charges served by the
Ezells was youth work, she be-
ing greatly loved by the young
people wherever they resided.

Mr. and Mrs. Felix Chilek of ;
Shiner have just returned from <
a whirlwind expense-paid five- :
day trip to Mexico City, full of :
talk about old missions, floating i
gardens and jet airliners. The 1
trip was the grand prize won by ;
Mrs. Chilek in a recent essay ;
story contest conducted by Un-
cle Johnny Feed Mills. Mrs. ]
Chilek placed her winning en-
try under the sponsorship of
Ondrusek’s Feed Produce Store :
in Yoakum, Texas.
The Chilek couple boarded a
Pan American jet airliner on
July 10 and winged from Hous-
ton to Mexico City in one hour
and forty-five minutes. Mrs.
Chilek’s account of her trip:
“Aboard the jet we traveled
at a height of 31,000 feet. We
had no fear of the height ... it
was beautiful, like floating on
a cloud. Our flight took us 550
miles over the Gulf of Mexico.
“When we arrived at Mexico
City, we took lodging at the
swank Hotel Geneve. We were
astonished at seeing so many
people. The population is over
4y2 million. That evening we
rested. We were told to take it
easy because it is necessary to
adjust to the high altitude.
Mexico City is over 7,000 feet
above sea level. The climate is
eternally spring, always cool
and refreshing, and the tem-
perature stays around 60°. We
were told that July, August and
September is the rainy season,
and it rains some nearly every
day.
“The first day we toured
Mexico City. There are many
beautiful parks, and Houston
could take some lessons from
this city in magnificent archi-
tecture, but there were also con-
siderable slum areas. There are
very rich people in the city and
some are also very poor. Most
people in the city seem to live
on tips. We saw many wonder-
ful old cathedrals, military
bases and the old Chapultepec
castle that stands on a high cliff
overlooking Mexico City. The
Castle, former residence of Em-
peror Maximilian and later of
Mexican presidents, now houses
the National Museum of History.
“In the city, you take your
life in your hands when you
cross the street, because nobody
seems to know how to drive.
About 60 per cent of the traffic
is composed of hurrying taxi-
cabs, who may be compared to
American hot-rodders.
“The people on the farms are
very poor as a whole. Some still
plow with oxen; others use poor
horses or burros. Their plows
are made of wood. They plant
their seed by hand. They do not
chop their crops, but pull the
weeds out with their hands.
They push dirt to the corn by a
shovel.
“The farms have no barbed
wire fences. Each man grazes
his milk cows and takes care of
them. The women wash their
clothes in small rivers on the
farms.
“The second day they took us
to large volcano mountains,
some of which are over 17,000
feet high. We visited some an-
cient pyramids where pagan
Aztec priests used to make live
sacrifices to their gods.
“We also visited ‘cactus’ in-
dustries, where they make pa-
per, thread, fermented bever-
ages, and candy from the cactus
plant.
“On the fourth day we toured
the famous “floating gardens,”
Xochimilco, which, like Venice,
has streets of water on which
people travel in hand-poled
boats, and along the banks were
gardens of many different kinds
of colorful and beautiful flow-
ers and also many small patches
of corn. All along the canals
were vendors in boats, selling
everything imaginable.
“The highlight of our trip
was a visit to the famous shrine
known as the Basilica of Our
Lady of Guadalupe, located on.

a mountainside. Everyday, hun- ■
dreds of worshippers bring
mounds of flowers to the shrine ■
in the church. One could literal- ;
ly cover the countryside with
bouquets. Here, about 400 years ,
ago, it is said that ‘Our Lady’
appeared to the Indian Juan 1
Diego, and on the site of this ■
miracle, the shrine and church ■
were built. His tilma hangs in 1
a great gold frame over the
main altar. An analysis of the
technique of the painting has
defied experts.
“This trip was the most won-
derful I have everVhad ... it
has provided me with many
wonderful memories.”
Since winning the grand prize
in Uncle Johnny’s contest, Mrs.
Chilek has been contacted by
hundreds of friends and ac-
quaintances who have congra-
tulated her. Her entry in the
contest was a philosophical es-
say, entitled, “The Dignity of a
Farmer.” (Copies of the essay,
suitable for framing, may be
had upon request at Ondrusek’s
Feed Produce Store).
The following is her essay:
THE DIGNITY OF A FARMER
The farmer’s calling is among
the noblest in all the world.
•He is not one of the millions,
who in thick formations swarm
through factory gates. ®He is
a free man! ®As he strides
through his fields guiding a
plow, sowing the seed, or har-
vesting the crop, he commands
the respect of all. ®For farming
is among the greatest of human
arts. ©The farmstead, with its
land, animals, fences, barns,
granaries, tools and machinery,
demands a multitude of special
skills and knowledge. 9A far-
mer must be an artisan, a vete-
rinarian, a carpenter, a weath-
erman, a mechanic, a capitalist,
and financier; a manager, labor-
er, producer and salesman. He
must know soil and seed, poul-
try and cattle. ®He must know
when to till the soil, cultivate
' his field, and harvest his crops.
: ©The successful farmer is the
one who produces more than he
‘ needs; and thus helps others to
; eat and prosper. ®In the pres-
. ence of his Lord, the farmer
• should recall all this, not in a
l spirit of vain glory, or pride,
r but in grateful appreciation of
. the calling that God gave him
* as a tiller of the soil.

La Grange. — Plum shutout
Moulton by 9-0 and La Grange
applied the whitewash brush to
Shiner, 7-0, in La Grange Jay-
cee tourney action Thursday
night, July 20.
Bill Prihoda parceled out on-
ly one blow, a harmless double
by Julius Belicek in the sixth,
as his Plum mates scored in
every inning of the seven ex-
cept one. The victors’ biggest
blast came in the fourth when
Paul Walla’s triple, two singles,
a couple of Moulton throwing
errors and a walk were good
for four runs.
After three scoreless frames,
La Grange found the range
against Shiner in the fourth
when the locals counted thrice
without the aid of a hit, and
went on to tally in every re-
maining inning thereafter for
the second La Grange triumph
of the meet.
Ovie Roensch, in the mean-
time, set the Shinerites down
with one basehit. A bit wilder
than usual, the hard-throwing
righthander walked eight but
he tightened in the clutches by
fanning 10. Vic Krejci, Carroll
Sembera and Dennis DeDear
tossed for the invaders, with
starter Krejci being tagged with
the defeat.

In 1827, a peace-loving blacksmith of 19 years drifted into Texas. He soon found any-
thing but peace. As a skilled gunsmith and armorer, Noah was on hand to prepare the
fighting hardware for the Texas revolutionary battle of Concepcion, and to participate
with enthusiasm. Later he was one of the San Jacinto combatants who pursued the
retreating Mexicans far south of the Rio Grande. After that he joined the Texas Rangers
for a very active two years of frontier duty, leaving the service in 1858 when the force
was disbanded temporarily. Then, as a justice of the peace at Webber’s Prairie, a Lieu-
tenant of Texas Militia, armorer at Fort Croghan, life continued in a fairly unpeaceful
way__until 1861. Because he opposed secession so strongly. Smithwick shook the dust of
Texas for California. History does not record his later years, but he found time to record
a great deal of history — his highly colorful reminiscences of early days in the Lone
Star State.

cellent start in the first inning,
