it about three feet in front of

makes a town great and makes
people stick when they come.
It’s the glad to see you and
“hope you’ll stay" signs you hang
out that catch people. A town

bunch of live business wires.
Vinegar never catches flies—flies

folks for you have to put in the
sweet dope a whole lot to catch
them. You don’t have to tangle-
foot a man tho—just get that
“glad hand" out as a reception
committee and give a slap on
the shoulder when he leaves, and
he’ll not only stick to your town,
but he’ll build a house and raise
a family of voters to help keep
up the Democratic majority in
Texas. It’s the good things you
say and little deeds you do that
takes root and makes man want

I hank God some of us have
an old fashioned mother. Not a
woman of the period, painted
and enameled, with all her so-
ciety mannersand fine dresses,
white jeweled hands that never
felt the clasp of baby fingers, but a
dear Md fashioned mother with
a sweet voice, eyes into whose
clear depth the love light shone,
and brown hair just threaded
with silver, lying smooth upon
her faded cheek. Those dear
hands, worn with toil, gently
guided our steps in childhood,
and smoothed our cheeks in sick-
ness, even reaching out to us in
yearning tenderness. Blessed is
the memory of an old fashioned
mother. it floats to us like the
beautiful perfume of some wood
blossoms. The music of other
