Is Tobacco Helpful?
J
In the Beacon issue of the 23rd
ins-t. appeared an article entitled: "Is
Tobacco Harmful?" It seems admit-
ted that it is harmful to the young
though not to the adult.
For a change, why not discuss: "Is
smoking or chewing tobacco HELP-
FUL?" A great many habitual us-
ers say it is " A Filthy Habit, of no
benefit," but say, "they can't quit."
Others say it's use is a comfort. Is
its use in the presence of non-users
a comfort to them? Does the inhaling
of its smoke, or the users' breath add
to any one's comfort ? Does the chew-
ing and spitting or the carrying of a
cigar or cigarette in the mouth add
to one's worth-whileness? Has the
user^ any advantage over the non-
user? Its use does not support a life
nsurance policy, nor lav up for a
iny day."
Then >vhy assume a life long ex-
pense? Yen reply: "One mav choose
for one's self." True, but one is re-
sponsible for the rightnsss of the
choice. Suppose tobacco doc.; a.I'ord
a degree of satisfaction; is man's
mission on earth to seek pleasure?
If the use of tobacco is not help-
ful surely it must be unjustifiable. And
now, reader, "consider the source" and
don't take offense.
The following is to church members:
To spend money for that that is not
helpful instead of applying where
there is a crying need can hardly meet
approval. Many foreign missions are
being closed for lack of funds. There
is an old BOOK—not yet obsolete—a
phrase which read: "Deny yourselves"
and that other part—"Take up your
Cross and follow Me," which means
nothing more nor less than self denial
in the interest of others. Another sen-
tence from the same book: "Let not ev-
ery man look on his own things, but
every man also on the things of oth-
ers." If the money used for tobacco
by church members be applied to the
mission fund in these times of bewil-
derment there would be such an awak-
ening as the world has never wit-
."jiaairetT. Is what is said to be taken
in condemnation of those that have
' tobacco habit fastened on them ?
e that with the individual, but
may not "wink at" (over-look)
'i those that form the habit later.

[Little Pen-o-grams
N. D. Welty, editor of the Dartles-
ville (Okla.) Morning Examiner, says:
"Newspapers are not going into the
discard.
"The new talking picture advertis-
ing on the screen isn't going to replace
newspaper advertising to any great
extent, if any.
"Radio advertising isn't going to
grow and grow while newspaper ad-
vertising shrinks and shrinks.
"Campaign organs and hand bills
of various kinds are not going to re-
place the newspaper for certain kinds
of advertising and for forming an in-
telligent public opinion.
"The radio, the motion picture
screen and personal organs are not go-
ing to thrive at the expense of the
newspaper.
"All these things have their place
and their value and can fill that place
and deliver their value without sup-
planting or crippling the newspaper.
"One reason for the newspaper hold-
ing its position and advancing it from
time to time is because the newspa-
per fills a need, and the second reason
is because the newspaper editors and
publishers have grown with their job.
"A newspaper is a medium which
must be intelligently used to be effec-
tive, and the more intelligent its use
the more its effectiveness increases.
And intelligence is just another word
for common sense. The only trouble
with failing to define intelligence is
because some think smart' aleckism,
trickiness and anything other than di-
rect honest and properly directed ad-
vertising is an exhibition of intelli-
gence."
W. C. T. U. NOTES
Alcoholism may be compai*ed to the
enemy of Israel. Sisera, in the time
of the Judges. "And Sisera gathered
together all his chariots: even nine
hundred chariots of iron, and all the
people that were with him." Debonah
was not terrorized at the strength of
the enemy but said unto Barak: "Up:
for this is the day in which the Lord
hath delivered Sisera into thine hand.
Is not the Lord gone out before thee?"
"They fought from heaven: the
stars in their courses fought against
Sisera. So let all thine enemies per-
ish, O Lord: but let them that love
Ilim be as the sun when he goeth forth
in his night." Read Judges V. Deb-
onah's song of triumph. There are still
"Debonahs" who in this crisis expect
and claim victory in the cause of Tem-
perance. Lucy A. Mitchell.
Mr. Armour: "John, if Mr. Smith
comes into the office tell him I'm out."
John: "Yes, sir."
Mr. Armour: "And, John, don't be
working when he comes in or he won't
believe you."

Free atractions at various places on
the grounds, with something free go-
ing on throughout the day is being
planned by Otto Herold, president of
the State Fair of Texas and Roy Ru-
pard, secretary, for the 46th annual
exposition—Oct. 8 to 23. Several acts
of the "Big Thrill" type are being
sought.
Col. Art Goebel, world famed flyer
has been named one of the judges in
the model airplane contest which is
being conducted as one of the features
of the Southwest Aviation Exhibit at
the 1932 State Fair of Texas. Entries
have been received in the contest from
all parts of Texas. The contest is op-
en to everyone—there being three
classes—juniors, seniors and a free-
for-all class.
The 12 best flocks of 4-II Club poul-
try in Texas this year will be entered
in an egg laying contest at the 932
State Fair of Texas. Records of all
4-H Club poultry are now being made
and from these the entries will be se-
lected. The contest will last 1G days

Texas' Centennial
SPEAKERS EXTOL CENTENNIAL
At hundreds of public gatherings,
July 4, speakers referred to the un-
usual opportunity Texas will have, in
its Centennial year, 1930, to show the
world the resplendent achievements of
its first century of progress and to
point out the vast possibilities the fu-
ture presents to Texas citizens. These
speakers predicted freely that Texans
will overwhelmingly vote for the Cen-
tennial at the November election.
CENTENNIAL CONVENTIONS
Efforts already have been started
to have as many national and inter-
national conventions as possible held
in Texas during the Centennial year,
193G. Among those already invited
are the National Editorial Association
and the International Lions Clubs.
The aim of the Committee will be tp
have one or more such big conven-
tions in session in Texas every day of
the Centennial celebration.
WELL-FILLED STADIUM MUSEUM
Practically every great exposition
has left for permanent use a great in-
ternationally-famous museum, worth
more to posterity than entire cost of
the exposition. Built for the great
Chicago World's Fair, the Field Mu-
seum and its vast collection will he one
of the greatest attractions of the Chi-
cago Century of Progress of 1933.
Wherever the Texas Centennial may
be held, a creditable State Museum
will be one of the results—one that
is needed to show the development and
progress of the country and that will
be a lasting memorial to the patriotic
spirit of Texans of 1936.
of the fair and huge baskets in the top
of each pen will contain all of the eggs
laid during the contest in full view of
the public. Superintendent Walter
Burton expects this to be one of the
big features of the poultry show this
year.

Desserts need not be relegated to
winter time meals at all. There are
cool weather desserts and light, cool,
refreshing hot weather desserts; des-
serts that neither overtax the more
delicate summer time appetites nor the
incentive to prepare a tedious dish.
Here are a few of these light, cool
and easily prepared desserts that will
be especially welcomed on hot days:
FRESH PINEAPPLE SHERBET

1 c Water
10 Marshmallows
2 c Pineapple

Boil one cup of sugar and water
together for two minutes. While warm,
but not hot, add marshmallows which
have been quartered with wet scis-
sors. Chill.
Put pineapple through a meat chop-
per, using the course knife. Combine
with the above and freeze until a
mushy consistency or for one hour in
an electric refrigerator.
Beat the egg white until stiff and
dry. Add one tablespoonful of sugar
and fold into the partially frozen pine-
apple mixture.

STATE CAVERNS
Chairman Colp, of the Texas State
Park Board, says that recent explora-
tions more than eight miles into the
State-owned Burnet County Caverns
have revealed that in vastness and
magnificent beauty the caves of Tex-
as are not surpassed anywhere in the
world, and that their full development,
with good roads leading to them, may
be expected before the Centennial of
1936. Numerous smaller caverns in
several other sections are being ex-
plored. opened and made attractive
to visitors.
with a view to sponsoring, a movement
to have a Texas Botanical Garden as
a feature of the Texas Centennial of
1936—one that will show in a great
central grouping the vast and varied
plant and floral life of the entire State,
and that will remain a permanent as-
set to Texas.
Two hundred and fifteen of the 253
Texas counties will be represented in
the Agricultural Show at the 1932
State Fair of Texas, according to J. A.
Moore, superintendent of Agriculture,
who has predicted a real reflection in
his department of another bumper crop
in Texas this year.

covering 13 counties have canned 1017
beeves, and 3875 hogs for consumption
next winter. These women will have
many of these canned products on ex-
hibit in the Home Demonstration booth
at the 1932 State Fair of Texas. The
exhibit last year featured a display
showing how a family of five could so
plan their canning that they could live
through the year on $84 worth of sta

as interesting is being planned for this
year.
