To me thia United States
mail is one of the greatest won-
ders of the age. Last week this
column was twenty-four hours
late to what it is want to be,
due to the rain aqd bad roads
and the lateness of our faith-
ful rural carrier, and I would
have bet ten thousand dollars
that it would not have gotten
in in time for publication, but
it did, and how they did it is
beyond me, when I always wait
till the last minute to mail
them anyway for fear it might
spoil before it is set up.

WORTH A SMILE

THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 1935
Bandits made a real haul on
Tuesday when they stuck up a
mail truck at Fall River, Mass.,
and coeapid with $129,000 in
currency. And we thought the
federal government had about
broken the back of such gangs.

But as to our rural carrier,
we were always indebted to
him. There is none better un-
der the sun. He will always
get around sometime, it may be
moonlight but he will come. He
never wears a hat and often no
shoes and if * his car flie« to
pieces in the middle of the road
it never dampens his ardor one
bit. One night he left it sit-
ting in water up to the cush-
ions, waded out and finished
delivering the mail afoot. If

service as the postal employe

I wish they would pass a law
to have a fellow’s funeral be-
fore he died, then he could hear
what the preacher said, see
who cried, and who put flow-

some of us would wonder when
we done all the nice things the
preacher said we did and some
of us would be surprised that

Mr Contest judges pronounced

Relief workers in Kentucky
found that in a section of one
Kentucky town 84 families on
relief owned 105 hound dogs.
Into these families 63 babies
were born last year. Fac< d
with the big task of weeing that
the babies were well nourished
and cared for workers were
naturally incensed at suggest-
ion that the dogs should also
be provided for. Consequently
the Kentuckians, in declaring
firmly against provisions to
keep the hounds fat and sleek
set an example which might
well be followed in other states.
Our own section sees many
worthless dogs dr iwing on
scanty revenue of relief clients
and those struggling to keep
off the roll. In addition to their
Worthlessness the animals are
• constant menace as the pos-
sible spreaders rabies to live
stock and humans.
The boys who have lw-en en-
joying a lot of fun at the mar-
ble machines, have been forced
to forego this pleasure as grand
juries, sh( riffs and county at-
torneys in Lamar and Red
River counties enforce their
mandate against all form< of
gambling. Their declaration
calls for the abolishment of
Rift schemes, drawings, lotter-
ies and the elimination of
punchboards, slot machines and
other devices used for gambl-
ing. Knowing from past ex-
periences that gambling may
be stopped but is quick to
break out again, the sheriffs
have announced that regular
check-ups are to be made and
anti-gambling statutes strictly
enforced against all offenders.
But rural carriers are like
farmers, they seldom ever get
thanked for what they have
done, but they get a check for
about two hundred per month
and a farmer gets a notice that
bis bank note is long past due
and that he is going to be sued
on his delinquent tax and pinto
beans are going to be two bits
a found next year. But we all
have to die before we know
how much good we have done
in the world. It is a settkid
fact nobody is going to tell us
about it while we are alive.

ter looks so good and quiet.”

School News
By J. B. HARVILL
Deport High School students
assembled in the hall, enjoyed
the inaugural ceremonies and
address of Governor James V.
Allred, Many students were
personally acquainted with
Senator Tom DeBerry of Boga-
ta, who introduced the Gov-
ernor.
Henry Ward Beecher,
famous preacher, and Robert
G. Ingersoll, the agnostic, were
warm personal friends — al-
though, of course, they dis-
agreed on religious matters,
and especially on the question
of the creation of the universe.
A friend of the preacher’s
presented to him a beautiful
celestial globe, showing the
sun and moon, the planets and
the stars. It was a wonderful
piece of work, and Ingersoll ad-
mired it greatly. He said to
Beecher, “Who made it?”
“Nobody,” said the minister;
“it just happened.”
Smithsonian Institute
reveals that there is 45 trillion
dollars’ worth of gold in the
ocean, but we don’t suppose it
will comfort a sea-sick guy
much to know he’s rolling in
wealth.
Every doctor baa had exper-
ience with patienta, or would-
be patients, who expect physi-
cians to be miracle workers,
and who can give only the
vaguest descriptions of wihat
ails them. One of this kind
went to a doctor, and said:
“Oh, doctor, something is the
matter with me, but I don’t
know what. I feel terrible, but
I don’t know how. And I have
the most awful pains, but I
don’t know where.”
The doctor replied:
(will prescribe something for
you, but I don’t know what.
You will use it three times a
day, but I don’t know how.
will cure you, but I don’t know
when.”

Seventy-five per cent of our
attendance wras cut down Mon-
day and Tuesday | because of
the intense cold. Those who
were here suffered much from
the weather as the temperature
could not be raised above 50
degrees in the class rooms. The
thermometer remained as low
as 38 degrees throughout the
day in some of the rooms.
Which all leads us to say we
need a new building.

We have a new’ carrier on
route five out of Winnsboro, a
Mr. McDougal. He takes the
place of Mr. Petty who has just
been retired on a pension after
30 years* service delivering
duns. Mr. McDougal is a
mighty fine fellow and he says
he has had that name all his
life, but I had to practice on it
three weeks before I could re-
member it two minutes. Wylie
Gandy has moved his box on
Mr. McDougal’s mute, so he
says if he gets a letter from
someone wanting to loan him
some money he can answer it
right back an hour later on
route one. But here I am filling
this column about mail carriers
when I ought to be writing
jibout politics or how to raise
children.

A wealthy man engaged an
English tutor for his son.
“Take him up into the moun-
tains,” he said, “and break him
of the habit of using slang.
Don’t let him talk to anybody
but you.”
“I will jolly well do that,”
replied the tutor.
Two months later the pair
returned home. The anxious
father rushed up to the tutor
for a report. ■ “Did you have a
successful trip?”
“You’re dern tootin’ we did,”
was the genteel reply.
Bedford, Ind.—Too weak to
identify himself Walter Urwil-
er, 66, of Cortaro, Ariz., was
found locked in a refrigerator
car. He said he had been a
prisoner for 11 days. His lips
were blisitered for lack
water.
The teacher looked at John
sternly and said, “I was very
disappointed in your examin-
ation. Didn’t you tell me your
father promised you a bicycle
if you came out as the head of
your class?”
“Yes,” said John, miseably.
“Then, why didn’t you work
harder?”
“I’ve been too busy.”
“Busy? What have you been
doing all this time?”
“Learning to ride a bicycle.”
Small boy: “I’m not afraid
of going to the hospital, mo-
ther. I’ll be brave and take my
medicine—but I’m not going to
let them, palm off a baby on
me like they did you. I want
a pup.”
