This is important to you and to the progress of your community. It means that life will be
happier and better for you and your children. It means that industry and business can plan
with assurance for permanent location and expansion in these communities.
Natural Gas service contributes every day to the comfort, happiness and well-being of those
who use it. To the communities we serve at the city gate, these benefits are assured for years
to come, since they are supplied through our 5,000-mile network of pipe lines from the
adequate Gas reserves of our Companies.

Cities and towns served dependably with Natural Gas are fortunate. There are thousands
of communities in the world that do not, and never can, have Natural Gas service, depend-
able and convenient as it is here in the Gulf South.

Keep Well With Chiropractic
Does your head ache this morning? Why not get relief?
For years, chiropractors have been relieving headache suf-
ferers. Technique has been developed for the successful
treatment of migraine, or sick headache. In many test
cases complete recovery or immediate relief was shown.
Give your nerves a chance to function freely. There is a
chiropractor in your community.

on account of their health.” Anyone
knows that the cigarette makes a
Mrs. Will and Mrs.
boy lazy. It has been proved and
reproved so naturaly the boy shuns
hard work which means soft muscles.
In the old times many a boy that was
caught with the smell of tobacco in
his pocket, found his way out to
the wood shed. Two things did
happen, the leather strap was ap-
plied to the bare skin, and then he
had the pleasure of practicing ath-
letics, with the ax and wood for
mother’s stove. No wonder he grew
strong, he had a good appetite. But
now mother smokes too, and too
in this month. A number of things
or factors may interfere and cause
us to change our plans, however.
The weather must be taken into con-
sideration, also the place where we
may hold our picnic. We are look-
ing into the matter and will make
announcements in due time.
McDade:
No services next Sunday.
If human greed, jealousy and fear
could be overcome there would be
very little trouble in the family, the
state, the nation and in the world.
The Christian Church possesses the
one medicine powerful enough to
cure all three of these scourges,
namely the gospel of Christ, the
story of God’s unspeakable love for
sinful mankind. Let the church, all
of the church use this one medium

The church was packed last Lord’s

Truly it was a profitable Father’s

was evident. Our hearts were made
glad and we press forward in Jesus’
name.
This coming Lord’s day is dedica-
tion day of the parsonage. It will
be a day of Thanksgiving when we
gather with friends to thank God
for His blessings and gifts. There
will be no money raised but rather j
a day of rejoicing for the victory
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

present from several near by towns.

PE LEE NEWS
By Mrs. Lou Jensen
PE LEE, June 16 — We had an-
other June night rain Sunday night,
but it did not last as long as the
previous one.
Mr. Statem Whitley who is spend-
ing his vacation working at the
South Western Junior College at
Keene, spent the week-end at home.
The last news from Mr. J. W.
Smith, who is at the General Hospi-
tal at Everst, Washington, is that he
is getting along as nicely as can be
expected.
It pays to watch your chance and
risk planting occasionally. Mr. A. O.
Kramer set out quite a few tomatoes
in some long skips he had in his
English pea patch, way early in the
spring, when most of us would have
said they would freeze, but they
simply flourished and now Mrs.
Kramer is really proud to be the first
one around here selling fine, ripe
tomatoes at a high price. She re-
ceived 11c a lb for the first ones.
Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Jensen made
a rush trip to Houston last Sunday
with a load of his sweet potatoes.
Mr. A. J. Jensen has gone into
the canary raising business. He
says he has to do something to keep
at work and it is too wet for him
to be out and hoe weeds; but why
not raise frogs? As long as his son
R. N. has such a fine pond in his
sweet potato field?
I cut this clipping out of the Aus-
tin American. I expect you all read
it but I think it is worth re-reading
and worth commenting on. “Grover
Cleveland Alexander, one of base-
ball’s immortals, believes that pres-
ent-day youth “are not as hardy as
they were in the old days”. He says
“Back when I was a kid if a fellow
wanted to get someplace he either
walked or rode a horse.” Now he
says, “the kids jump into an auto-
mobile and ride a block or two to
buy a package of cigarettes. The
boys are not as hardy as theywere
in the old days and we see it in ath-
letics." Why, we only have to listen
to what the government says “not
half of the boys are fit for soldiers
