GOLDEN RULE DAYS
A short three weeks and the ’teen age and below of
Shamrock will return to another stretch of school days. Par-
ents will look at the matter two ways, some of them glad
the vacation is over in the belief that their own will start
after the long summer days of questions, cowboy games and
pleas for food between meals, are over. Other parents are
more human and mourn with the child who dreads school.
They are the right ones.
No human being nor animal likes captivity, and that
is what school means to the average boy or girl. Older peo-
ple are recognized as their own masters when they reach a
certain age and may be independent, but it sometimes is
hard for them to realize that the younger ones might want
the same thing. If an adult found himself facing from
twelve to sixteen years in the same kind of routine and with
no choice but to follow it, he would revolt in one way or an-
other; bo does a child.
Today methods of education have been eased quite a
bit with recreation and physical education added to the long
study sessions, but nevertheless this process of being edu-
cated is a hard one. Most students work from nine to four
at school, hours practically as long as those of a mature job
holder, and then come home to work up more projects that
evening. The ones who, on top of that, have added a long
series of errands to run or chores to do for their parents,
are carrying the work of a man when they have only a
child’s body and spirit. Parents who are willing to work
harder themselves in the school months and practice a little
"spoiling” in the way of granting more hours for outdoor
play will be rewarded by better dispositions and a more
cheerful outlook toward school.
WHO WANTS TO BE KING?
The small boy who learned of kings from story books
and somehow felt cheated bocause he had no chance to be
a monarch, now has grown up to thank a guardian angel
who rated his ancestry into peasant stock or a little above.
Kings no longer have the advantage of any of us, if they
ever did, and at last even members of royal families are ad-
mitting their life isn’t as much fun as it might seem to
others. Even those kingdoms still left intact after a last
year or two of republican moves are surrounded by enough
convention and pomp to discourage any seeker of a throne.
A king nowadays, besides going through a more strict mili-
tary and educational routine than other youths, is expected
to carry a full-load of man-size duties “to his country.” He
may not be allowed to enter the sessions which determine
the future of the country over which he rules, but he must
be present to give dignity to every occasion important
enough to require him. He must be a diplomat, a master
of languages and sports; he must know something of every-
thing, for people desire to idolize him; he must not depart a
step from accepted tradition unless he is a seeker of pub.
licity and then he gets the publicity anyhow. He may ex.
pect any minute to be asked to leave his throne and his
home because his people have decided to go "democratic.”
What a score of kings and future kings must wish to be any-
thing else from railway engineers to schoolteachers just to
have a change and a chance at a life away from the public.
LAW AGAINST WORDS
Present day education has brought many new ideas; it
has stressed correct grammar, broad a’s in some cases, less
slang and fewer split infinitives, but no one yet has led a
truly brilliant campaign against words, wrong words, too
many words and useless words.
Of the three, too many words are the worse practice,
but for the torture of a fellow struggler-in-English, the use-
less words run first. The aversion to them sometimes
starts in childhood with the old-time home talent announc-
er who always stated "we wish you one and all a kind good-
night.” And after the first million times “one and all” was
used in everything from radio announcements to cards of
thanks, the idea of more than one became disagreeable.
Later, in literature a “balmy day” brought the same sen-
sations, while other pets with the common herd include:
"additional guests,” “very enjoyable affair,” “loving
friends,” “dirty crook,” and a thousand more, one of which
was just used. Everyone has noticed that the most inter-
esting speaker is the one who coins his own descriptive
terms and uses sentence forms and phrases which were not
first begun by Shakespeare or someone of the same cen-
tury. Nothing can be done for the use of words, but the
grammar school idea of penny fines for the use of slang
would be a rather good one among friendly groups in con.
versation for the abuse of sentence structure.

The Mission To Cyprus
Text: Acta 12:25; 13:1-12.
The International Uniform Sun-
day School Lesson fa August 30.
The Mission to Cyprus. .Acts 12:
25; 13:1-12.
The mission to Cyprus does not
seem a very distinctive or adven-
turous thing In a world where whole
new vast continents have been dis-
covered that were unknown to apos-
tolic times, and In an age when the
preaching of the gospel In some
form or other has spread even to
the remote corners of the whole
earth.
The Shamrock Texan
But If we can transport ourselves
back In thought to the time when
the events of this lesson were hap-
pening, we shall be in a position to
appreciate the meaning of the mis-
sion to Cyprus as a beginning of
the spread of the new Christian
faith westward. In the light of all
that happened even within a few
weeks, few events have been of
more profound significance than the
first missionary ourney of Paul and
of his companion Barnabas,
first missionary Journey of Paul and
Barnabas were not really the first
missionaries to Cyprus, for we are
told In the eleventh chapter of Acts
that in the persecution that arose
about Stephen, some of the Chris-
tians who were scattered abroad
traveled as far as Phenice and Cy-
prus and Antioch, preaching the
Wad. Their preaching, however,"
was only to Jews, and when some
of the men of Cyprus came to An-
tioch they started preaching the
gospel to the Gentiles, with the re-
sult that many of them found the
blessedness of the new experience.
It was when reports of these ex-
perlences came to Jerusalem that
the disciples there sent Barnabas
as far as Antioch to exhort the new
converts and to strengthen their
falth.
The testimony concerning Barna-
bas In Acts 11:24 is about as high
a tribute as any man could be giv-
en. We are told that he was “a
good man" and “full of the Holy
Ohost and of faith." Paul evident-
ly had gone to Ills old home In Tar-
sus, and Barnabas, having gone to
seek him there, brought him back to
Antioch where for a whole year they
continued with the Church, teach-
ing the people In this city where the
disciples were first called Christians.
It was durng thse days at Antioch
that a prophet from Jerusalem,
named Agabus, spoke of hard times
that were to come upon the world.
The disciples, evidently somewhat
prosperous In this busy commercial
city of Antioch, decided to send re-
lief to the Christians In Judea, and
they sent this relief by Barnabas
and Paul. Having fulfilled their
mission to Jerusalem, Barnabas and
Paul returned to Antioch, and the
events of our lesson begin at this
point.
Accompanying them was John
Mark, nephew of Barnabas, about
whom there later arose a very sharp
contention between Paul and Barna-
bas, so sharp that the two men In
a later Journey took different
courses, each pursuing his mUnion
In hU own way. The nature of this
dispute la withheld from us, though
Paul evidently felt that at one point
on this first Journey John Mark had
failed them. He himself, however,
has become a notable figure In
Christian history through the sim-
ple and vivid second Gospel which
bears hU name.
der and miraculous Incidents that
pertained more to magic than to the
calm triumph of the Oospel in the
transformation of the souls of men.
PREDATORY ANIMALS
KILLED BY WORKERS
Over 300 coyotes and 79 red wolves
were slain In Texas last month by
70 men employed by the state for
predatory animal control. Forty-
eight bobcats and four mountain
lions were taken, arcording to the
monthly survey of the U. 8. depart-
ment of agricutlure, co-sponsors of
the control work.
The most interesting catch was
made by J. E. Hearn on the Cal-
laghan ranch In Webb Co. Hearn
accounted fa four mountain lions,
all full grown, eight coyotes and
two bobcats. Ouy West of Culber-
son Co. led the force In point of
numbers. He caught 35 coyotes and
five bobcats. Pat Foster, waking In
the same county, took 26 coyotes
and two bobcats. In south Texas
E. L. Homan on the King ranch In
Kennedy Co., led with 34 coyotes to
his credit.
Mrs. L. E. Davis had as week-end
guests her mother, Mrs. O. C. Rid-
dle, two sisters, Misses Helen and
Ellen Riddle and her brother Jack,
all of Joshua and two other brothers,
Bill and Leon of the U. S. Navy.

W unquestionably the greatest value in the history
of the Ford Motor Company. Never before has so
much beauty, comfort, safety and performance been
offered at such a low price.
The low price of the Ford is something lo think
about because it means an immediate saving of many
dollars — always an important consideration. But far
more significant than price alone is what you get for
that price. When high quality is combined with low
price, you may justly take pride in having found a
most satisfactory purchase.
See the Ford — ride in it — learn something about
the value that is built into every part. The more you
know about it, the more certain you will be that it is
