Two More Inches
Of Rain Tuesday
Whitewright and section were
given another big rain Tuesday. Ac-
cording to the rain gauge at the city
pumping plant nearly two inches of
rain fell Tuesday afternoon and
night. Fields were just beginning to
get dry enough to work good when
the downpour came. Farmers are
getting behind with their work, and
are anxious for a dozen or more days
of dry weather. Grain is almost
ready for the binders, in fact,
wheat is ripe enough to cut now.
If farmers had not been up with
their work when the rains set in
about four weeks ago, fields would
be a mass of weeds and grass, but
fortunately the fields were free of
grass and weeds when the first rain
came, since which time there has
been only a few days that work
could be done in the fields.
efficient, as the kilowatt capacity in-
creased 89:3 per cent and the num-
ber of electric current customers
from 12,709,000 to 21,782,000.
In Texas the electrical output
climbed from 662,258,617 kilowatt
hours in 1922 to 1,811,715,884 in
1927 or only slightly less than 200
per cent increase, while generator
capacity increased from 265,807 in
1922 to 622,001 in 1927—an in-
crease vastly above even the . high
average of the entire country.
January Sets New Peak For
Electric Output With Eight
Billion Kilowatts As Total
In the five years from 1922 to
1927, output of electric current in-
creased no less than 85.3 per cent__
from 40 billion kilowatt hours in
1922 to 74,654,000,000 in .1927.
January output passed the
mark for the first time in ....
tory of the industry and both
uary and February totals showed
gains of 13 per cent over the same
inonths in 1928. But the number of
generating establishments, in the
same period, decreased 31.9 per
cent—from '6,355 in 1922 ’ ~ ~
in 1927—showing the

Oklahoma Suit
To End Red River

OKLAHOMA CITY.—Edwin Dab-
ney, Attorney General of Oklahoma,
was authorized by the Highway Com-
mission today to proceed with a suit
to stop collections of tolls on the Red
River bridge between Durant, Okla.,
and Denison, Texas.
The resolution adopted by the
commission merely was a ratifica-

mission last January. The suit now

The June bride class of 1929, will
pass through an experience escaped
by her mother and grandmother.
Miss June Bride, with her bobbed
hair and short skirt, is going to be
asked questions by Old Man Texas
when she goes down to the clerk’s
office and tells the world that she
intends to get married three days
hence. Figuratively speaking, Old
Man Texas is going to take the pret-
ty bride on his knees and ask her
when she is to be married and to
whom, and all this “private matter”
is to be put in a big book.
But the June bridegroom must tell
a few more intimate details of his
life. He must assure the State of
Texas that he is free of diseases list-
ed in the forms prepared by the
State, and he also must .give a three-
day notice of intent to marry. Forms
for the declaration of indention to
marry and also the health certificate
are now being prepared by the State
printers. The hew State marriage
law goes into effect June 12.

There will be no more carnivals
showing on the streets of Denison,
according to an announcement made
by the city commission recently.
Why should a city turn its streets
over to a carnival, anyway? A car-
nival is about the worst thing that
can be turned loose on a-city street.
This being true, there is no reason
for turning over public property to a
carnival. The best way to handle
the average street carnival is to keep
it out of town.

To Whitewright’s 24 high school
graduates we extend congratula-
tions and best wishes. You have
passed an important milestone in
your career. You are about to leave
the shelter of your home to .enter
college or to venture into the affairs
of the world. The four years you
have spent in the high school have
given you something that you can
never lose and something that you
jnay convert into financial well be-
ing and happy living, if taken ad-
As you go forth you
tie and over all the earth and
creeping thing that creepeth
the earth. So God created man in
his own image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female
created he them. And God blessed
them and God said unto them, Be
fruitful and multiply and replenish
the earth, and subdue it: and have
dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowls of the air, and
over every living thing that moveth’
upon the earth.” Gen. 1:26-28.
The finite mind of man may not
be able to understand just how God
could place a living germ in the lit-
tle seed of the grass or the fruit of
of the tree, but it is easy to believe
that he did, as we have them here
all around us in great abundance.
,Nor can we understand how God
placed life in the fish of the sea, the
fowls of the air, and the animals and
creeping things that walk and crawl
upon the face of the earth. But they
are here and God says he niade
them, and it is easy to believe that
he did. So we see different forms
and grades of life. God-made them
all, and he knows the reason why.
But the creation of man was and is
God’s crowning work upon the
earth. “And the Lord God frfrmed
man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath
of life; and man became a living
soul.” Gen. 2:7. God did not breathe
into the nostrils of the fish of the
sea or of the birds or the lower an-
imals the breath of life, nor did they
become living souls. They were
made for man and he was given do-
minion over them. Man was • not
only given an intellect, but also a
moral nature, and was made capable
of doing .right or wrong. Fish and
birds and animals have no moral na-
ture, and cannot do wrong. Man was
placed under moral law, and, strange
to say, the first man violated the
first law of God, and all other men-
have done likewise in one way or an-
and

come short of the glory of God.
But we are talking about

and
life was the light of men.” Jno. 1:4.
Here is the great mystery. Life is in
God and in Jesus, who is one with
the Father. All things were made by
him. He had power to create worlds
and systems of worlds, as well as an-
gels and men. He could create a
seed with the life germ in it and
cause it to grow and ’'blossom' and
bear fruit for :the'’use“of man. Also
could he give Hfe'to the'fish to live
in the sea, excluded from the air)
birds to live in the air. But when
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth
and the life,” he meant infinitely
more than plant life, fish life, bird
life, or animal life—he meant eter-
nal life. This is so infinitely great
and glorious that every man should
stop, listen and give attention to the
voice of Jesus when he says, “I am
the life.” .No man cometh to the Fa-
ther, but by me.” Jesus says again,
“Except ye eat the flesh of the Son
of Man, and drink his blood, ye have
no life in you.” Of course, this is
said to the unconverted—to the
world of sinners. They imagine they
have life and think they are having a
good time. But they are “dead in
trespasses and in sin,” and in such
condition that Jesus says, “ye have
no life in you.” It is not fit to be
called a state of life. The life of a
sinner is not worth living, according
to the wisdom of Jesus. To eat the
flesh of the Son of Man and to drink
his blood, of course, is to accept Je-
sus as the Savior, and to receive his
pardoning and saving love and
recognize the I grace, and to receive the new heart,
the new love and the new life.
Again, Jesus says, “Whoso eateth
my flesh and drinketh my blood hath
eternal life; and I will raise him up
at the last day.” Jno. 6:54.
These remarkable quotations are
illustrative of the fact that, as the
body is sustained by food, so the im-
mortal spirits feast upon Jesus, who
again says: “This . is that bread
which came down from heaven; * *
he that eateth of this bread shall live
forever.”
Today we unite in paying tribute
to the memory of America’s heroic
dead, those who paid the supreme
sacrifice for the maintenance of
those American institutions so dear
to every loyal heart.
Memorial day has become a well
established institution in this coun-
try. Year after year we observe it
by certain established formalities.
But it should be something more
than a mere ritualistic observance.
Rather it should be a time of pro-
found thought and serious dedica-
tion to the cause which claimed the
lives of the war heroes whom we
honor.
Memorial day should be a time
when we give thought to the wound-
ed victims of the World War who
are spending their rapidly declining
years in the government’s care. We
should throw the weight of our opin-
ion to the cause of giving them ade-
quate1 hospitalization and full com-
pensation.
Memorial day should also be a
time when we think upon the de-
vastating horror of modern warfare,
and when we throw what influence
we may have to the cause of peace
without the sacrifice of national
honor.
_ Memorial day should also be a
time when we consider those essen-
tials of true patriotisrh and good cit-
izenship—when we 1___

the happiness and welfare of

WASHINGTON. — Pocket vetoes
by the President were declared by
the Supreme Court Monday to be ef-
fective in killing legislation sent to
him in the closing days of a session
of Congress,
even though it was not the last
The decision covers the
Shoals bill, pocket vetoed
close of the first session of the last
Congress.
The pocket veto results when a
President fails to sign a bill within a
certain time after Congress ad-
journs. This action is effective in
preventing such a measure from go-
ing on the statute books.
The court asserted that Congress
must be in session when the Pres-
ident returned a bill with his disap-
proval, and when Congress by ad-
journment prevents this, the. bill
which he would return if the house
in which it originated was in session
must be considered dead. The Pres-
ident would not be authorized to re-
turn a bill with his disapproval to an
employe of either house, the court
said.
Alien women who refuse to bear
arms in defense of the Government
and who also opposed are to the use
of military force under all circum-
stances, are prohibited from natural-
ization, the court held in the case of
Rosika Schwimmer from Chicago.

court to be subject to arrest by the

tions in connection with the investi-
gation of the election of William S.

14:6.
What did Jesus mean when he
said, “I am the life?” In order to
help to at least a partial understand-
ing of this question, let us consider
the fact just briefly that there are
different kinds of life. First, let us
think of vegetable or plant life. In
the schools and out of them we are
studying the science of biology,
more or less, which is an effort to
account as far as possible for all
life, growth, etc. The school children
pour over their books and may get
many fine suggestions, but for our
purpose in this short sermon on
life, let us remember that God said,
“Let the' earth bring forth grass, the
herb yielding fruit after his kind,
whose seed is in itself, upon the
earth; and it was so. And the earth
brought forth grass, and herb yield-
ing seed after his kind, and the tree
yielding fruit, whose seed was in it-
self after his kind: and God saw that
it was good.” Gen. 1:11, 12.
This was the origin of plant life
on the earth, then soon followed fish
life in: the sea, and fowl life in the
air, and animal life upon the earth.
And. after all this 'God said, “Let us
make man in our image, after our
likeness;; and let them have domin-
ion ever: the fish of the sea and ov,er
the fowls of the air, and over the cat-

■ There are now said to be in the

WASHINGTON. — Figures made
public by the United States Bureau
of Education indicate a growth in
high school attendance that is one
of the most striking features in the
educational development of the gen-
eration. These figures show that m
1910 the attendance in public high
schools was 915,000, but that by
1926 the figure had grown to 3,757,-
000. It had, in fact, multiplied itself
by more than four in a brief sixteen
years.
In addition to this growth in stan-
dard high schools there has come in-
to the field a new agency, the ju-
nior high school which has developed
to the point where its attendance is
above a million, of which number
more than 300,000 are of high
school rank, the report states.
Another striking feature of this
situation is the fact that, of those
who graduate from these schools,
practically fifty per cent go on to
some higher institution of learning.
This is a much higher percentage
than was shown previous to the pres-
ent decade.

ments, box suppers and other bene-
