Just Suppose
Just suppose that you and
the bejss were having a little
friendly chat about bills. Noth-
ing serious, but, anyway, you
should get the improssion that
he was sort of checking up on
you "What do you think of a
fellow who lets his bills slide?"
he said, "who doesn't pay th«m
until they're long past due?"
Thinking of yourself you re-
ply : "Well, the man may not
be dishonest—he probably has
other more pressing demands."
Besides, you say, "his credit
ors arc not losing anything.
They know they'll pet their
money some time."
And then the boss is
thoughtful for a1 minute be-
fore answering. "Not losing
anything, eh? Did you ever
stop to think that the money
you owe vour creditors is food
and clothes and rent? The»'
have bills to pay too. How
would you get along if I for-
got to pay you your salary for
several months ?" Then you
admit to him that you hadn't
thought of it in that way.1
Many of us don't. Another
thin? they don't seem to real-
ize is that tbev hurt them-
selves when they fail to keep
their credit good.
It's this way. When you buv
merchandise or have a service
rendered on credit, you prom
ise to pay within a certain
time. The 'certain time' passes
and the amount is still unpaid
your creditors, naturally be-
come skeptical and your name
suffers. Then the time comes
•when you need credit badly
and you wonder why your ac-
count is politely declined,
you're out of luck.
Another thing, if you want
to makp real money in this
world and keep it you must
have a good credit standing.
You may find a little fellow
who is careless in his business,
who will accept your account.
Hut when you ask for accom-
odations from a real business
man, or firm, they investigate
and you miss an opportcnity.
Lack of credit causes more
failures than lack of brains.
Thus, you owe it to yourself
to pay your bills promptly. A
little thought will convince
you that you cannot afford to
do otherwise—Mineral Wells

Divorced 14 Times;
! Will Marry Again
"If at first you don't suc-
ceed, try, try again", is an old
adage that Bruce Steele. El
,Pa«o plumber, evidently be,
lieves is good advice.
Tuesday, his wife obtained
a divorce from him, that l*ing
the third time the same coupis
had been divorced. The first
time they were married she
divor.ced him; the second time
he divorced her and the last
timc she divorced him again,
saying: "I'm glad to be rid of
him again."
"It is O. K. by me.' Steele
said: "I'll pick out the first
pretty girl 1 see and marry her.

Explaining How
Football Started
M aqy years ago when men
lived in caves, there dwelt in a
peaceful community two men,
Percival Ivorydome and Chet_
wyn Shaggyhead. One lived
on one side of the town and
one on the other. It so hap-
pened that both men were
interested in pigs and both
owned seyeraJ. One day Perci_
val and Chetwyn were down
talking and they spied a stray
pig and both claimed it. Ivory.
dome contended that it was
his because, this pig had a tail,
and all his pigs had tails.
Shaggyhead claimed it was his
because it walked liked all his
pigs did on four feet. They
argued for quite a while, then
Shaggyhead got mad and wal_
loped Ivorydome on the head
with his club. Ivorydome not
to bc outdone, busted Shaggy-
head on the chin with a bould.
er This they carried on for
about an hour—forgetting
what they werc fussing about
and. each trying to make the
other take the pig. They
threw the pig at one another,
cussing between heaves. Sue!
denly Ivoryetome had an in.
spiration. He grabbed the pig
tucked it under his arm and
headed for 'Slhaggyhead's cave.
Shaggy, seeing what was
about to be done, made a dive.
They in this manner for some
time, when Shaggy grabbed
up the pig and started back
to Ivory's cave. Then Ivory
made a dive. They struggled
in this manner for some time
until a large crowd had been
attracted. Some were so de.
lighted with the sport that
thev joined in. some fighting
for Ivory and some ifor Shaggy
The rest hung around the out
side and yelled histily for their
gang: they shoved and clawed.
When one pig wore out they
caught another, and the battle
waged furiously. They fought
until the pips were used up
and then imported more. F,v
erv time a new herd of pigs
was found the sport was re
newed. So down through the
centuries it was the chief pas-
time of the men of rival fac.
tions. It has comc to us slight -
ly altered, the chief difference
being that air .has been sub-
stituted for the insides exf the
pig. so that the field would not
become so messy.-—Wesley

Mesquiter Building
A wealthy man left $100,000
in his will to be given some
college of standing which
would agree to use the money
to teach the doctrine that
"woman's place is in the home.
Harvard, Yale, Princetoi
and Columbia refused the be .
quest. They were not willing
to cemimit themselves to teach
ing anybody else's opinion,
much less an opinion so con-
trary to that held by great
numbers of women today—
and men tQO. for that matter.
Not long ago a young wom-
an, a graduate of one of the
most famous colleges, dis.
covered that she had consider-
able talent as a writer. At the
same time she was in love
with a prosperous business
man. She wanted a career as a
writer, but she also wanted a
career as a wife and mother
The man in the case told her
to choose between «them. He
had good business sense. H«
knew that she was reasonably
certain to make a failure of
one career or the other if she
tried to have. both. It took this
young woman a good while to
decide, but finally she came to
the conclusion that the place
of that particular woman was
in the home.
That does not mean that ev_
ery woman's place is in the
home, however. It depends so
much upon the woman. Every
one °f us knows some' splendid
woman who has never married
but who has done magnificent
work in helping others. It used
to be that a woman who work-
ed in an office or devoted her.
self to an artistic or literary
career did so merely because
shfe had not been able to cap-
ture a satisfactory husband.
There was a stigma about be-
ing an "old maid" which has
practically disappeared today.
The woman who chooses to
work rather than to marry
has her place in the world, and
it is not in thee home. But the
woman who marries, most
people will agree, has but one
proper job. home.making, un-
til her family has grown.up
and left the parental nest. That
is not to suggest that married
women should not have just
as good a time as anybody else
But there have been very few
instances where the result of
the wife and husband both
engaged in occupations out
side of the home has been any_
thing hut disasterous for the
children.
The leaders among women's
political and social welfare ac_
tivitiev are mostly women
who h.ave either never married
or who have been successful
homemakers and havc reache/
the age where their children
are married or otherwise off
their hands The percentage of
grandmothers at any conven-
tion of women's clubs is vetv
high indeed
Those are opinions. Perhaps
they are no more than the
fixed opinions against the
te aching of which $100,000 was
offered. Every onc will agree
that the colleges were right
in refusing to be bound to
teach any opinion which chang
ing social conditions might
alter from generation to gen.
eration.—Exchange.

FOR A RAINY SUNDAY
Some one has given the fol-
lowing reasons why he goes
to church on rainy Sundays :•
Because the Fourth Com.
mandment does not exempt
the rainy Lord's Day.
Because I insist upon the
minister's being there, whose
contract is no me>re binding
than mine.
Because I may miss exactly
the sermon or prayer I need
Because my presence helps
more on rainy dlays than on
bright days. •
Because the rain did not
keep me freim the tea last Mon
day, nor the dinner last Wed_
neseDay, nor the ball games last
Saturday, nor the store any
day in th^ week.
Because an example which
can not stand a little welting
is of little worth.
Because the man who fears
the rain will soon fear the
clemd, and he who fears the
day win soon fear the daylight
itseK as reason for neglectlnir
the church.
Because my Real Ex. use
must be to the Lord and not:
to man.

Years ago when the Indians
roamed the plains of Texas,
hunted in the mountains of
Texas and fished in thc rivers
of Texas, the Great Spirit was
filled with wrath against his
people. The Great Spirit sent
a falimine which swept the vast
state which was not yet a
state. The Indians prayed to
the Great Spirit for relief.
Their animals were dying and
they themselves were dying:
even the strongest of them.
At last the Great Spirit in
his compassion said he would
terminate the famine if the
most sinless of the Indians
would sacrifice his life. Now
one of thP Indian maidens who
was fair to see and the purest
of them all, anked that she be
sacrificed.
The day she climbed the hill
to the altar, her blue bonnet
fell from her shoulders. The
next morning the hills were
covered with vivid blue flow-
ers in thp shape of small bon-
nets splotched with a elrop of
blood red.
Thus it is the hluebonnct.*
came to Texas
Thirty years ago today the
State Legislature voted the
bluebonnet the Texas flower.
Many other specimens were
suggested but as the legis-
lative body gazed out of the
windows of the building they
saw the hills covered with
fields of blue, for it was March
then, too. With such a sighi
to guidle them they passed the
bill legalizing the native
flower for the state.
Nevertheless, many Texas
people have never seen their
state flower, and have never
heard the legend of its birth.
Tltosj who do know it, are
proud of it, and are urging
that seeefc and the plants
themselves be planted all over
Texas. Why not a campaign
for beauty, as well as edu.
catievn, health and numerous
other things sponsored by
by Texans?—Shamrock Texan.
