THE GRADUATES HOLD SWAY
WHEREVER SCHOOLS MAY BE
Hail to the graduates!
This is then- day and time, the season
when they hold first place in our hearts and
minds. After completing a definite period
of their education they are entitled to our
congratulations and good wishes. Gradua-
tion comes as a happy culmination of what
possibly has seemed an unending time of
study. But now, as the season of commence-
ment is here, the long communion with books
has brought its reward.
As the graduates conclude their fes-
tivities in celebration of the event the
mundane affairs of the world are shut
out. Rightfully they garner their hap-
py days in an atmosphere free from
the problems that lie beyond. Today
they have earned respite from scholas-
tic programs and tomorrow will come
when the Alma Mater is sung and the
class members pari to go their differ-
ent ways.
Under the spell of this happy occasion it
seems almost unkind to break in upon it
with prosaic tomes of advice. In the school-
room if we have learned our lessons well,
we know that life is most practical, that
our studies have been directed to training
our minds. On the athletic field physical
courage and stamina have already been
tested. The world outside the school, while
different, calls for the same essentials in
living that win out in the class room. Much
of the spirit of the school lives on in these
new circumstances. There are constant chal-
lenges to our mental and physical abilities
for our schooling is more literal in its
preparation for life than our academic train-
ing might indicate. So after all the transi-
tion from school life to life's school need
not be approached with fear and trembling
but taken in stride.

CHINESE AERIAL BOMBS
BURST WITH PROPAGANDA
A new method of warfare from the air
was recently used by the Chinese which
looks more sensible than that of old. The
Chinese flew bombing planes over Japan
dropping bombs of leaflets, called propagan-
da in this modern day. These propaganda
bombs were utilized because Japanese news-
papers are closely censored. They told the
Chinese side of the conflict between the
two countries.
Now press dispatches disclose that
rebel Mexicans are dropping propagan-
da bombs over cities in Mexico to ex-
plain their attack against the Cardenas
government. The worst physical dam-
age these paper bombs can do is to
clutter up the ground. We Vote for this
more pleasant side of modern warfare
and may the pen regain its place as
being mightier than the sword.
J. P. Cowen
Students
Are Feted
Twenty-five members of the
graduating class of the J. P..
Cowen school took a "nautical
cruise" last night at their ban^
quet at the White Kitchen cafe.
Programs, decorations, and
menu carried out the sea-going
theme, with "Captain" Leo
Jones, class sponsor, acting as
pilot and toastmaster.
The program was introduced
by Jones in a welcome address.
History of the class was given
by "Sailoress" Betty Lou Scott,
valedictorian of the group.
King Gives Talk
An address by "Admiral" L.
C. King, school principal, ex-
pressed appreciation of the in-
structors for the fine spirit of
the class.
A song, "Blow The Man
Down", was rendered by the
Captives, a group of the stu-
dents.
"Captain Pirates", an address,
was .given by Fred Stirman,
salutatorian of the class.
A Pirate poem was given by
"Black Jack" Hinson, and the
program was concluded with
"Auki Lang Syne" by the en-
tire group.
Sailboat Programs
Programs were sailboats with
orange anchors, and the decora-
tions were supplied by Miss
Ruth Gulledge.
The menu included Tropical
Delight, Pirates on Driftwood, i ; — —
Bahama Island, Mt. Vesuvius, j All Southwestern Life policies
Billows on the Pacific, Gold
Nuggetts, Rock of Gibraltar, j
Light House. Liquid Ambrosia, j
and Cannon Balls.
L. C. King, Leo Jones, Mr. and j
Mrs. Paul Counts, Miss Ruth !

Cattle Shipments
Off During April
AUSTIN — Shipments of
livestock from Texas to Fort
Worth stockyards and inter-

sharply below those of the
corresponding month last year,
the University of Texas Bureau
of Business Research has re-
ported.
A total of 8,9lt> cars was
forwarded during the month, a
decline of 28 per cent from
April last year. Cattle ship-
ments, 6,703 cars, declined 27.7
per cent: calves 701 cars, in-
creased 15 per cent; hogs, 507
cars, decreased 28.5 per cent;
sheep, 855 cars, dropped 46
per cent.
"Shipments of cattle to the
Flint Hills of Kansas, for sum-
mer pasturage and reshipment
in the fall to the markets or
feeding areas, were 45.6 per cent
below April last year; but for-
wardings to the Osage country
of Oklahoma, also for pasturage
and later reshipment, declined
only 6 per cent." the Bureau'-,
report said. "These shipments
to the Flint Hills and the
Osage country which take place
