GREATEST BUSINESS ASSETS.
Truth and honesty and purity are
a man’s most powerful allies. Who-
soever cute loose from them throws
away his greatest asset. It is as if
a young man starting out in busi-
ness for himself without capital
should deliberately ruin his credit
at the bank and elsewhere and try
to play the business game alone. We
all know how silly and suicidal that
would be; yet the man who throws
truth and the principle of integrity
overboard is even sillier, for he
throws away his greatest assets and
makes genuine success impossible.

“Yes,” agreed the teacher, and
added, “I don’t know who she will
be or what she will do but this one
thing I do know—she’ll have to be
engaged to a man who has a bakery
or to one who works in one.”
London’s once-famous street cries
are no more, and any attempt to re-
vive them meets with instant sup-
pressive measures by the police.
Such an attempt, followed by a
prompt suppression, was made re-
cently by an old clothes huckster
who was caught shouting: “Haga,
bottles and bones,” and declined to
desist when told by a constable to
ply his calling without strident
vocal accompaniment.
He pleaded that he had lost the
address of a customer and wanted to
let him know that he was in attend-
ance if required.
“Instead of calling my customer,"
he ruefully added, “I only brought
the policeman.” He was later fined.

of such renown. The explanation
seems to be mental and emotional
resistance to a view so inconsistent
with “established” scientific prin-
ciples. Professor Newcomb could
not see and understand mathemat-
ical relations that conflicted with
“known facts.”

A Hoosier school teacher had as
a roommate a young woman, whose
fiance was a baker. He sent his
"girl" many bores of cakes and oth-
er pastry and the school teacher al-
ways shared them. Then one day
she told the teachers at her school
all his constituents. Judge O'-
Quinn’s family will remain in
Lufkin for some time, until a
suitable home can be obtained
in the city of Beaumont.
Fortunately, man is endowed
with the ability to forget, and he
remembers great men only by their
achievements. But if Newcomb
were alive today he would, perhaps,
feel impelled to follow the notable
example of Jerome Cardan, one of
the celebrated astrologers of earlier
days. Having been called to Eng-
land to calculate the nativity of Ed-
ward V I, he predicted a long life
with illnesses at twenty-three, thir-
ty-four and fifty-five years of age.
Almost immediately after Cardan
left England King Edward died.
Cardan then wrote a pamphlet en-
titled, "What I Thought Afterward
Upon the Subject.”—Edgar James
Swift, in Scribner’s Magazine.

should be the ones to be more

OYSTER MORE ELOQUENT
Si
(From Saturday’s Daily 1)
. The usual annual New Year
reception and dance given by
Lufkin Lodge No'. 1027, Bene-
volent and Protective Order of
Elks, was held at the spacious
club rooms of the order last
night and proved to be one of
the most enjoyable affairs of
the kind ever held in Lufkin.
The attendance probably ex-
ceeded former occasions of a
similar character, the music, an
orchestra from Houston, was all
that could be desired, and the
dancers seemed more eager to
"trip the light fantastic” than
ever before.
The News shall not attempt a
description of the decorations,
nor will it endeavor to outline in
detail all the pretty gowns worn
by the charming maids and ma-
trons who participated in the
festivities of the evening, but it
may be said with the fullest
confidence that neither was ev-
er before surpassed. And the
a whole and the producing in-
terests in particular are greatly
distressed in this, the readjust
ment period following the
World War.
Now, therefore, be it resolv-
ed, That while we know that
Texas is not immune from such
distress as it applies to certain
[local communities, industries,
town, realizes fully that the nation as
but not one time in a thousand
could the thieves be appre-
hended. Automobile thieves
have converted their trade into
a science, and once they man-
age to get away with their loot,
it is practically impossible to
identify the stolen parts. More
and more stringent laws are
being enacted from time to
time, designed to put a stop to
depredations like this, but no
matter how severe the penalty,
it is still dangerous to leave
your car unguarded. It is less,
hazardous to take different
parts of a machine than the
whole care, and thieves are
finding this out, so be as careful
as you can.

on record as being in no manner
alarmed at the financial and
business condition or the out-
look for the state.
And further, While strongly
advising conservatism, thrift
and economy, they wish to ex-
press their assurance to the
people of Texas of the abund-
ant ability of this state to take
care of its producing and com-
mericial interests and its peo-
ple.”
This resolution drawn up and
signed by business men such as
guide the destinies of the state
organization is concrete evi-
dence that they have not cast
their eyes toward the gloomy
side of the situation. By fol-
lowing out the principles out-
lined other business men agree
that there is little or no cause
for alarm in the least.

where the anxious ones have

that the price of lumber and
other building material has
been lowered, it is hoped that
the building program in Lufkin
will continue indefinitely, or un-

On the occasion of the three hun-

Moliere in 1922, the director of the
Comedie Francaise will place on the
stage, "Sganarelle, or the Cocu
Imaginaire," which has not been
played since July 17, 1891. This
comedy has a checkered history.
First played in 1659, it disappeared
from the theaters for 50 years dur-
ing the eighteenth century. In 1802
it reappeared, but was expurgated
and almost unrecognizable. After
1808 it was again lost sight of, com-
ing back again in 1833 in the orig-
