TOO MUCH KNOCKING
There is too much knocking and
not enough credit-giving in the world
today, says an exchange. People
usually grasp the opportunity to crit-
icise, but they are not always as
alert in recognizing a worthy act
and bestowing praise when it is de-
served. That is why you so often
heai- people refer to “this thankless
old world.”
But the world isn’t thankless. Any
man who devotes his life to an ef-
fort to bring about better and more
prosperous conditions in the com-
munity in which he lives is bound
to hold the respect and gratitude
of his neighbors.
But they don’t always tell him so,
They are too busy, perhaps—but in
most cases it is simply thoughtless-
ness, and the failure te realize the
value of a word of praise.
Next Monday, July 9th, is regular
Second Monday traders day. Make
your plans to be here on this day
and if you have anything to sell bring
it al\ng. Perhaps someone will be
in the market for it.

One can hardly conceive of the
idea of a person going to sleep on
a railroad track, but that is exact-
ly what happened put near Weather-
frd last Friday when two men
bound for the West Texas oil fields
sat on the Texas & Pacific tracks
for a few minutes and dropped off
to sleep. One man was killed instant-
ly by the Sunshine Special when his
head was severed from his body. The
other awoke just in time to escape
danger. That is worse than driving
an automobile on the track trying
- to beat the train to the crossing.

doesn’t like poetry is lacking in in-

statement in the most scathing terms.
Poetry is alright if a person has
time to read it and digest it, but
for the busy business man he has
little time for sentiment contained
in poetry, Shakespeare included. If

The Federal highway act has been
amended to provide that hereafter
specifications for Federal aid pro-
jects may include the planting and
maintenance of shade trees. The
policy heretofore has been to provide
only for the roadbed and construc-
tion operation. While many years
will be required to beautify public
highways as they should be, this ac-
tion of the Federal government will
stimulate State and local authorities
to take greater interest in road beau-
tification.
A number of Texas roads that
penetrate forests are much admir-
ed by all motorists, but in many
cases the road builders apparently
have had no regard whatever fer
beautification and have destroyed
ruthlessly,many beautiful shade trees
and damaaad others bevend measure.
Much can be done by local au-
thorities to save the trees along our
highways and - to encourage the
planting' of trees where none are
already growing. In a few places the
local women’s clubs have taken up
the work of local highway beautifi-
cation.

what it would be with no advertising.
The regular advertisers make it pos-
sible for our people to buy well-
known and nationally advertised pro-
ducts in all lines at a saving. The
regular advertisers make it possible
for investment after investment to
be made in local property, .for with-
out them there would be no incen-
tive to community building. The reg-
ular advertisers make our churches
and schools what they are; without
them taxes would be so small that
schools could hardly run three months
in the year, and little interest and
support could be had for our church-
es. The regular advertisers are mbin-
ly responsible for modem conveni-
ences in our smaller communities,
indeed they are largely responsible
for large communities being in ex-
istence. Think it over, and render
to the regular advertisers of your
community just dues in mking life

In years gone by the stump speak-
er played an important part in na-
tional political campaigns. Candi-
dates went on the road and took the
stump in cities and towns from coast
to coast. Is the radio going to rob
us of the good old political meet-
ings?
Now a candidate can sit comfor-
ably before a microphone and with
one speech reach millions of persons
throughout the country by means of
the gigantic radio “hook-ups” now
used in the reporting of big events
over the radio.
What a difference between this
method of addressing many compar-
atively small groups of persons, one
after another, day after day and
week after week!
Radio has already carried count-
less speeches of a political nature ov-
er the air, and it seems very likely
that from now on until the Novem-
ber elections the radio will be used
exten sivelybv noliticianstoketismdesd
messages over to the public.
One difference between stump-
speaking and radio broadcasting, as
far as political speeches is concern-
ed, is that while the main attendance
at political gathering is made up of
many friends and admirers of the
orators, the radio reaches friend and
foe alike.
Another thing which must be con-
sidered is that stump-speaking and
radio broadcasting each have their
own technique. Of what use in radio
broadcasting are the quicker chang-
es of feature, the waving of arms,
the gesticulations that play so large
a part in increasing the effectiveness
of stump speeches? Radio requires
a different technique; the voice must
do everything.
Time will tell whether the radio
will take the place of the stump,
whether public men will in the future
turn to it orfrom it when desirous
of making public utterances.
Wen went to church Sunday night
and saw a number of the “Deep
Waters” go sound asleep while the
pastor was preaching a sermon of
only thirty minutes. We saw the
same fellow down at the Blanton

। during more than one hour of the
speaking, but did not so much as
close his eyes or nod his head.—

-vacant now as any town in this part
“ of the state. Under normal condi-
tions there is not a rent house to be
obtained and there have been many
zimes when rent houses were at a
premium. Thus it behooves every
