Honoring Mother
Once again comes that special day when each of
us honors his mother the best mother that ever lived
On Sunday we will pay homage to her and think reverently
of all the wonderful things she has done for
her own family and others In bringing presents or
sending greeting cards or giving mother loving words
we let her know that she is still a queen despite the
fact that we might have neglected to show our appreciation
of her during the past year
Let us not forget somebody elses mother on this
day also A few wellchosen words an inexpensive card
an invitation to dinner or any small gesture may help
to lighten the heaviness of heart which many mothers
bear mothers whose boys are fighting in the midst of
the world conflict and have no way of conveying a
message home mothers whose boys have already given
their lives for their country all those mothers who
have sacrificed through the years for their boys and
are now sacrificing for libertys cause
Boys in the training camps and their mothers will
be more strongly united in thoughts of each other on
Her Day than ever before even though they may not
be able to be together in person
With homes disrupted nil over the world with
children separated from their parents and couples divided
those of us who can be v ith our loved ones at
this time are indeed fortunate We should make the
most of the opportunity which is ours so that when
the time comes that we have to part either temporarily
or forever there will be no regrets
Minute Editorials
At a test flight recently an American bomber flew
the Atlantic in eight and onehalf hours The fact suggests
that it is also possible for a bomber in the same
length of time to fly to New York from Berlin
It might be noted that the increase in pay voted
the American soldiers did not come as a result of a
strike sit down or walk out on the part of the soldiers
Neither did it come as a result of the soldiers being
egged on to demand it by a well paid radical leader
The boys on the firing line are a notable exception
when it comes to matters of ttiis kind They would have
gone clear through the piece to the end lor S2I a month
without a squawk
The tire shortage is going to result in an enforced
holiday from so much useless running around A lot of
people who have gone to extremes in the matter are
going to have to learn to stay at home A lot of them
will find out that it isnt as bad as they think it is
If he will heed the warnings every man knows
what is best for him to eat or leave alone He knows
if he will heed the warnings what are the best practices
for him to follow in the matter of hours of sleep
eating smoking and the use of liquor We suffer in
the majority of instances not because we do not know
better but because knowing better we lack the will
and determination and what else it takes to do the
thing we know is best
Experience is never bought at a bargain some one
cays We are not so sure The price paid may seem high
at the time but the saving that may later result will
make the price seem small indeed We forget many lessons
that we seek to learn but the lessons that experience
teaches us stay with us the longer
If the war lasts two years we are going to see
women take the places of men in this country in every
job that women are fitted to do the same ns they have
in England
Weekly Sermon
BY THOMAS HASTWEIX
When a small boy I went one day into a blacksmith
shop and watched the smith at work as he heated
the iron in his roaring forge and shaped it upon
Jiis am 11 Boy like I picked up a piece of curiously
shaped iron that was lying upon the floor Unknown tome
it was very hot having been recently in the forge
My hand was painfully burned I ran home to my
mother who dressed my burns The burn soon healed
but the memory of the incident has remained with me
ever since Innocently enough I caused myself to suffer
a great deal of pain and discomfort Ive thought
a good many times since how like people through life
Often they blunder into situations that cause them
much unexpected grief The boy in the blacksmith shop
that day had never been told that he should not touch
innocent looking pieces of iron on the floor of a blacksmith
shop He learned by painful experience Man
today need not be ignorant of the dangers and possible
suffering that wrong doing may exact He need not
learn It through painful experience The teachings of
Christ ore an infallible guide which warn him of the
unseen and unsuspected dangers They will protect
Jiim from many burns and many scars along the way
of life if he will but read and study them

Congress Should
Vote PostWar
Bonuses Now
KY GEORGE PECK
Recently DeWitt Emery founder
and manager of the National
Small Business Mens Association
proposed that Congress vote a i
billion dollar bonus for servicemenHe proposed that Congress at
once vote adjusted compensation
at the rate of 1 a day for service
in continental United States
and 2 a day for overseas service
that a minimum of 75 for nil be
paid to the service man on the
day he is discharged onehalf of
the balance within 30 days and
the remainder one year from the
date of discharge and that disabled
men would of course receive
customary special caie
We expected a storm of protest
against Mr Emerys proposal and
were not disappointed The New
York HeraldTribune with which
newspaper we are generally in
agieement on March 24th editorially
called it a new bonus
racket It went on to say in
part It is peculiarly inappropriate
at a time when all efforts
should be concentrated on winning
the war and when all government
expenditures which do
not directly contribute to that
end should bo cut to the limit
The HeraldTribune seems to
have overlooked the important
fact that the passing of such a
measure now would not involve
the expenditure of a single penny
while we are still at war Every
dollar in connection therewith
would be paid out after the terrific
expenditure for munitions
and armaments has come to an
endOn
On the other hand we see much
merit in Mr Emerys proposal
The men in the armed forces of
America are not fighting for financial
reward but it strikes us
that soldier and sailor morale
would be heightened greatly if
service men knew that Congress
has made definite plans to take
care of them during the postwar
slack period
Because we inexcusably made
Inadequate financial provision for
our service men at the conclu

Wage Earners
Asked To Invest
In War Bonds
BY FRANK DIXON
With the costs of the defense
program mounting each day the
necessity for still more munitions
of war and a faster and faster
tempo of production comes the
need for more and more money
with which to pay the bills
The treasury department and
those in charge of defense production
have studied many means
of raising the necessary money
Various types of taxes have been
suggested Among these arc higher
Income taxes higher excess
profits taxes the sales tax and
the plan of withholding a per cent
of wnges paid each employee by
the employer While these have
nil been considered and arc still
being considered by treasury officials
and Congess a different
plan is going to be given n trial
The wage earners of the nation
have been appealed to to invest
at least ton per cent of their earnings
in War Bonds and Stamps
The first call is for volunteers
These volunteers are being asked
to go to their bank or post office
and sign up to buy regularly a
given amount of War Bonds and
Stamps No pressure is being
exerted The wage earners of the
nation arc being given an opportunity
to volunteer to come to the
aid of their government in her
hour of need If sufficient volunteers
do not pledge to purchase a
sufficient amount of War Bonds
solicitors will be sent around by
the several thousand local defense
committees to make personal calls
upon wage earners and ask them
to help their government The
plan is that in each community
this contact will be complete that
no one will be missed
While there is no threat implied
that it will be done it must
be obvious to every one that if
the volunteer plan fails the government
will be forced to resort
to the use of taxes and take bylaw
what the citizens refuse by
failing to volunteer to give
It is to be sincerely hoped that
the response from the request for
volunteers will be sufficient to
meet the requirements of the war
program and satisfy the treasury
to the point that excessive taxes
as a means of securing the money
will not have to be icsortcd to
As has always been true before
when the country has needed help
there will be chislers who will
seek to evade their iust and fair
portion of the load There will be
a certain number who though
they are being well paid and have
not yet felt any appreciable pinch
because of the war or have not
made a single personal sacrifice
will seek to evade their responsibility
This group will ask that
some one else be required to pay
it anyone else so that they do
not have to disturb their smug
and comfortable and selfish exist
ance by making any sacrifice
They are going to live if they
can as they have always lived
for themselves alone
Fortunately every community
will have n few of these This
group is in the great minority
Men and women of equal responsibilities
and smaller incomes nre
going to find n way to come to
the help of their country and buy
War Bonds They are willing as
the boys on the firing line are
willing to make sacrifices whatever
sacrifices nre necessary that
the guns and ships and planes
will keep coming to back up the
men who have led out in the
sacrifice and arc stationed along
libertys far flung battle line They
will rally as their kind has always
rallied to their countrys
call They will as their kind has
always done think of their country
first and themselves afterwards
They are the true spirit
of America

THURSDAY MAY 7 1942
Harry Rogers his young son Billy and R V Miller
went frog hunting on the creek Northeast of Tulia
Tuesday night and returned with plenty not frogs but
opossums
While hunting frogs the party saw a large opossum
run under the stump of an old tree Deciding to capture
the animal Harry ran his hand down under the
stump and caught the opossum by the tail jerked her
out of the hole and threw her out on the grass where
Mrs Possum promptly took for the high grass
Miller trying to intercept the possum kicked her
and she Immediately expelled nine little opossums
from the pouch on her abdomen where the mother
opossum carries her young
Two of the young opossums were killed in capturing
the mother opossum and little Billy lost another
one while carrying the remainder of the brood to the
car The mother opossum and the other six young ones
arc on display in a pen at Harry Rogers Grocery Store
During the few months that the USO has been established
its value has been proved When the new
USO drive starts here let us remember how much it is
needed by our boys in the armed forces and subscribe
to it at once Thats just another way we have of doing
our bit for the war effort of our country
The tire shortage has brought up the matter of a
change in the delivery system of many stores In the
East the Wanamnkcr department stores of New York
and Philadelphia were the first to make a delivery
charge for small articles In Chicago a retail association
of 200 large stores has cut deliveries to out lying
districts to three a week and has also put an end to
deliveries on telephone mail order or C O D orders
unless the nggregnte is 200 or over Department stores
figure it costs around 5 per cent of their total cxpensse
to operate a delivery system

From Here And There
Every small town and many larger towns have the
problem when the fire alarm sounds of hundreds rushing
to the scene of the fire jeopardizing the lives of
everyone on the streets and greatly hampering the work
of the firemen Threats and ordinances and appeals by
city officials do no good Ordinances are passed but
no arrests are made for their violation and the nuisance
continues The firemen put up with it nnd do the
best they can notwithstanding the handicap well meaning
villagers impose upon them Down in Madisonville
Texas the fire chief has solved the problem When the
flic ahum sounds he tends his assistant out with one
of the fire ti ticks The assistant heads for the opposite
part of town in which the fire is located After the
crowd has followed off tile assistant the second truck
leaves for the fire and the uremen nre able to do
their work unhampered
