Too Much Money
In listing the requirements, however, Ickes
pointed out that families moving up there would
need financial aid for several years while they
got started. It is no place for relief clients, with
tread 18 to 25 cents a loaf and milk 25 cents a
quart, even along the railroad line from Anchor-
age to Fairbanks.

proved a very limited success, with about half its
original 400 family population already back in

really making a success" of the undertaking.. In
their case, the .government put up all the money
they would need to clear their land and seed it to
crops. No such largess could be expected for new-
ly arrived immigrants, particularly since relief
money has been denied to aliens.

MAKE PLANS FOR "MILK MONTH”
IHERE’S GOING TO BE a new and dif-
l ferent kind of campaign conducted ,by
the dairy farmers of Texas in June this
year, if plans made by a group convening
at Houston last week, are-carried through.
I Its purpose will be to meet the seasonal
[ increase in milk production with a vigor-
[ ous sales campaign. Grazing the tall grass
qf spring and early summer steps up Old
Bossy’s production and June has been
I designated nationally as a Drink-More-
Milk month.
The Texas Dairy Products Marketing
committee, organized at the Houston
meeting, unanimously voted a resolution
asking a coordinated sales effort "through
all possible channels of distribution, in-
cluding chain and independent grocer ies,
i chain and independent drug stores, limited
price variety stores and all other outlets
I for dairy products.”
I Campaigns of a similar nature, con-
I ducted in the past, have been successful in
I disposing of huge surplus crops of fruits

UNUSUAL IS THIS LETTER
from SAM STRATTON, who was
press agent of the Ringling-Bar-
num circus when it exhibited in
Gainesville in 1937. Written from
Chicago and enclosing a page of
Gainesville cireus pictures from
an Omaha, Nebraska, newspaper,
Stratton writes:
“Have been seeing more pub-
licity for the Gainesville circus
than the big show. Glad you are •
.doing so well and maybe in end
it will be the Gainesville circus
that will save the big tops, it will
certainly do its share toward it.

TTHE beauty of the March after-
I noon was unprecedented, even
for Southern California. The
mercury hoyered above eighty. A
few clouds, resembling smoky
puffs from a giant’s pipe, frolicked
across the very blue sky. The sun,
a ball of yellow heat, warmed the
tumbling white-crested surf, re-
flected on the pale gold sands as
on,a million tiny mirrors and laid
beneficent fingers over the big
striped sun-umbrellas dotting the
terrace of Seacliff Manor. Mny of
Jocelyn’s guests sprawled about
the large swimming pool in sun-
suits; others relaxed at white
wicker tables under the umbrellas
while the English butler passed
among them carrying a tray
heavy with tall frosted glasses.
Jocelyn, in a trailing frock of
starched green chiffon, drifted
from table to table, a sparkling,
gracious hostess who looked like a
green candle' with her shoulder-
length titian hair its lighted wick.
Geoffrey, catching her alone a
moment, said: “Your party is a
success, Lyn. Everyone’s having a
marvelous time!” "
She flushed with pleasure and
touched his arm affectionately, “ft
sounds like it,” she laughed. “Oh,
Geoff, the musicians just arrived.
I wonder if you will see they settle
near the drawing-room windows
so we can hear them out here?
Have you seen Bob anywhere?”
“A few minutes ago he was over
on the tennis court with Mary
Adams. If you won’t need me for
a while, Lyn, I think I’ll join a
bridge game.”
“Run along then.”
A few minutes later soft Hawai-
ian voices, accompanied eby gui-
tars, drifted over the terrace. Bob
Russell, leaving the tennis court
for the shower, hesitated a mo-
ment, an ironic smile crinkling his
clear eyes. He was struck by the
incongruity of Hawaiian crooning
against the. sedate English back-
ground represented by the massive
pile of gray brick. If a person had
imagination, he mused; he would
expect to hear the light tinkling
strains of a minuet. Still . . Grand-
ma Jocelyn had liked modern mu-
sic. “She was a swell old girl!” he,
thought. He shrugged and - went

Show, sponsored by the Ladies Civic. League, in

9 p. in Whether all the invitations limit the in-
"vitee to a few’ fleeting hours, of enjoyment, this
respondent doesn’t know. But he would be un-
happy to think that he alone was limited to
specified hours on a specified day. He could be as
well behaved as any other guest, and appreciate
the flowers and the ladies of the civic league as
heartily as any other visitor, even those who
might make more clatter ai d ado over their ap-
preciation. Being of the silent but intense sort,
S. P. isn’t the type, to be exclamatory and demon-
strative. But in his depth of feeling he equals or
exceeds the mill-run of flower enthusiasts. Many
of the more agitated and vocal visitors at Muen-
ster will not know the difference between a
fuchsia and a hollyhock, but will try to conceal
their deficiencies by their gesticulations and
gurgly exclamations. State Press, who does know
the difference between a hollyhock and a fuchsia,
will thrill and thrill, but be so reticent as to seem
rather dumb. Notwithstanding all that, Muenster
wculd seem to him a town of more than the usual
quantum of sound citizenship and good taste. The
dear lady who invited him to the flower show
appended a paragraph saying, “There are several
very nice people in Muenster who like sugar on
their tomatoes.” That is better news than- any
that has come out of Europe since Methuselah
had the seven-year itch. For time unreckoned,
S. P. has advocated sugar on tomatoes, but often
i seemed likt offering esthetics to a pagan ,
world. The perverse population continued dousing;
their tomatoes with vinegar, catsup. pepper sauce
and red, white and black pepper. If the Muenster
folk who know how to really treat thejr tomatoes
will join hands wi-h State Press in a campaign of
education We may improve the public taste.-

In the lives of many people the good becomes
the enemy of the best In one of the parables of
Jesus this principle is illustrated. A certain man
made a great feast and invited many people.
When the time came for the feast they did not
come and began to make excuses. One man said
he had bought some land and must go and see it;
another said he had bought some oxen and must
need go and, prove them; and another said he
had married a wife and therefore could not come.
Now there was nothing wrong about, any of these
things. None of them was wicked. But they al-
lowed them to keep them away from the feast.
Thus it is that people allow' the good to keep
them away from the best.

WHO DOES MOST DRIVING?
IF YOU WERE TO make a hasty guess,
1 .1 what class of persons would you say
uses the highways most—those bent on
business or those driving tor recreation or
- social purposes? If your answer is “busi-
ness,” you are correct. According to fig-
- ures released by the Texas state highway
.engineer, 60 per cent of all driving by resi-
dents of Texas is for* business4 purposes.
The remaining 40 per cent is divided 18
per cent for recreation and 22 per cent for
1 social purposes.
A larger proportion of the travel of
L rural residents is for business, such travel
comprising 63 per cent of their total com-
pared with 58 per cent for urban resi-
! dents. City people do more driving for- .
recreation, 22% of their travel being
for this purpose and only 12 per cent for
country people.
These figures are based on 100,000
questionnaires secured from drivers in all
i parts of the state and representing air oc-
cupations and i come levels. The ques-
tionnaires were collected by the Highway
| Planning Survey with the assistance of
the public schools of the state. The High-
1 way Planning Survey is conducted by the
- State Highway Department in coopera-
tion with the U.S. Bureau of Public
Roads.
Jocelyn’s indignant glance swept
him from black head to dusty
boots.
"I‘m not concerned with your
•reckonings.’ Mr. Mack. As you
must see, I am giving a party and .
I'll have to return to my guests.
If you will be so kind as to move
your car to-the rear of the house,
I will instruct the butler to settle
you, temporarily; in the unused
left wing.”
"Your hospitality overwhelms
me!" he said.

CAPT. TOM HICKMAN, going
through the diary of his’ uncle.
WILLIAM F. McCORMICK, has
found the following reference to
the occasion dated May 4. 1899:
“Painted until 3 p.. m. Then
walked home and got ready, and
went to Marysville. Got my new
pants from Chicago, 1H. Cost
$3.40. Went to Rev.. Roberts’ home.
Midkiff brothers and Loy sisters
came at sunset. Were married at
8 p. m. by Roberts in his parlor.
Some of his 20 friends present. He
had an elegant supper, after which
{he brass band gave a serenade. A
very nice and unique affair.”

But suddenly, with shrill ca-
cophony, Sandy began to bark,
then raced on his funny short legs
around the left side of the house.
At the same moment a car back-
fired from the direction of the
drive. Sandy’s barking became
more insistent, more furious, as
