There’s no use being a pessimist, but our business is to see
that families are prepared to take up the shock of unforeseen
loss and damage ... to make sure that insurance dollars are
spent wisely. Our companies stand back of us with a reputa-
tion for prompt, just dealings. We think of insurance in terms
of protection and peace-of-mind. We have been able to help
many families weather a crisis and avoid financial tragedy.
We would like to help you. Will you let us?
Candid Comment
“The bathtub -was invented in
1850, and the telephone in 1875. Had
you been living in 1850, you could
have sat in the bathtub for 25 years
without the darn phone ringing
once.” — Ward Eowe, in Lometa
(Texas) Reporter.
No one ever turned in a fire alarm and said to himself:
knew this was going to happen to me.” That’s the strange
thing about fires and robberies and accidents—you think of
them as things that happen to somebody else.
A young lady had brought a fellow
home to meet her parents. When the
young man left, the girl’s father told
his daughter that he didn’t approve
of the lad.
“But,” pleaded the girl, “Harry
doesn’t smoke, drink or gamble. He
always attends church on Sunday.
Now what do you find wrong with
him?”
The father stood scratching his
head, then replied, “You can never
trust a liar.”
Boy—“My dad is a Moose,
Eagle, an Elk and a Lion.”
Friend—“Gosh! What does it cost
to see him?”
“I hope that’s a nice book you’re
reading, darling,” said the conscien-
tious mother to her daughter.
“Oh, yes, Mommy,” replied the
youngster. “It’s a lovely book, but I
don’t think you would like it. It’s
so sad at the end.”
“In what way,
wanted to know.
“Well,” the youngster sighed, “she
leaves him and he has to go back to
his wife.”
The merchant sent his bill to a
slow-paying customer with the nota-
tion: “This bill is one year old.” By
return mail he got a greeting card,
saying, “Happy Birthday, Bill.”

A woman stood at her front door

Irrefutable
Mr. Peters continually complained
to his extravagant young wife that
she should try to balance her budget.
One day after a shopping spree, she
asked for some extra money and he
immediately proceeded to give her
the “balance the budget” routine.
She flashed him a withering look.
“Balance the budget,” she yelled.
“That’s all I ever hear from you. I
should have married a Congress-

AUSTIN. — The Texas calf crop
this year is expected to total 4,137,-
000 head, the highest since 1955, the
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture said.
The crop would be a 1 percent in-
crease over the 1960 number of
4,078,000 head. Cows and heifers at
least two years old numbered 5 mil-
lion head, up 3 percent from the pre-
vious year.
Engaged in the tedious job of hang-
ing pictures in their new house, the
couple was ready to tackle the sec-

side the stairway. The wife, who
was holding the hammer and tacks,
suggested that her husband “stag-
ger” the pictures up the stairway in
order to achieve an unusual effect.
When a phone call interrupted the
job, their six-year-old son answered:
“Neither Mother nor Dad can come
right now,” he explained. “My

She looked at the picture per-

The Foreign Agricultural Service
reports that imports of beef and veal
during the first five months of this
year totaled 215 million pounds, an
increase of 9 percent over the like
period a year earlier.
Imports of cattle totaled 358 mil-
lion pounds, an increase of 2 percent.
Most cattle came from drought-
plagued areas of Mexico.

I— —— -
NADINE BAISDEN in The Tur-
key News: One of the greatest joys
in being an American is that, even
with a modest income, we can look
forward—some day—to having the
conveniences we most ' want. We
may not have the first air condition-
er or television set in the block. But
if we wait patiently, save a little and
have no unexpected troubles, the
price finally gets to our level.
So thanks to Mass Production
(whatever that is), Automation
(whatever that is) is within the reach
of the lowly. Ours is no cat-can-
look-at-a-king country. Every man
with a steady income is a monarch
of his own 50 by 125 foot kingdom.
We appreciate this advantage and
approve modern short cuts. We took
readily to quick frozen foods, with
never a sigh for the old days of gath-
ering and shucking the corn, of chas-
ing down a chicken, wringing its
neck, picking and scalding it, before
the real business of cooking the
darned thing could start.
However, we give in slowly on
some of the old ways, and look with
real anxiety toward a future in
which, for example, breakfast will
prepare itself in two minutes and
maybe trundle its way down the hall
to the bedroom. There’s a homey
comfort in awakening to the alarm
and padding into the kitchen to make
coffee, cook bacon and eggs. There
is absolute solace in sitting down
with needle and thread to sew on
snaps or catch a ripped place in a
dress hem.
We feel no envy for people who
live in countries where conditions
are still primitive. But we do hope
automation leaves Americans a few
little jobs of their own. We’ll need
some assurance that people aren’t
becoming obsolete.
DOUSMAN, Wis. — The annual
Wisconsin frog jump contest will
open here Saturday without political
overtones.
Last year a frog named Kennedy
beat a frog named Nixon.
P. I. COLVIG in The Lake City
Graphic: The author of the following
prayer is unknown to me. It was
brought to me by Carl Sauke and it
surely would be a good one to mem-
orize and to live by:
“Lord, Thou knowest better than
I know myself that I am growing
old. Keep me from getting talka-
tive, and particularly from the fatal
habit of thinking I must say some-
thing on every subject and on every
occasion.
“Release me from craving to try to
straighten out everybody’s affairs.
Keep my mind free from the recital
of endless details—give me wings to
get to the point. I ask for grace
enough to listen to the tales of oth-
ers’ pains. Help me to endure them
with patience.
“But seal my lips to my own aches
and pains. They are increasing and
my love of rehearsing them is in-
creasing as the years go by. Teach
me the glorious lesson that occasion-
ally it is possible that I may be jnis-
taken.
“Keep me reasonably sweet. I do
not want to be a saint,, for some of
them are so hard to live with, but a
sour old woman or man is one of the
crowning works of the devil.
“Make me thoughtful, but not
moody; helpful, but not bossy. With
my vast store of wisdom, it seems
foolish not to use it all, but Thou
knowest, Lord, that I want a few
friends at the end.”
