Sowing That We
May Reap
DEAR FRIENDS:
March, our first spring
month, cornea in blus-
tery and makes us hold
tight to our hat brims
and close our eyes to the
sand that blows in our
faces, yet it is the be-
ginning of the most im-
portant month of the
year, for it marks seed-
sowing time over the
greater part of the
Southwest. We plant
most of our gardens and
much of our field seeds
in March through out
North and Central Tex-
as, the Panhandle and
Oklahoma. Men and
women dig into the moist
brown earth and there
plant the tiny seeds that
grow into food crops for
sustenance of man and
beast. What a great
lesson this planting of
seed teaches. “First we
must die that we may
live again.” The har-
vest represents the death
of the plant, but what
the plant yields provides
food that sustains life.
All this is beautifully de-
scribed by Christ in the
“Parable of the Sower."
Read this parable in
Matthew 13:3-8.

CLUB NEWS
What an exciting
month for Club News.
Here we are at last all
ready to start with a
wopderful new club.
Most of the rules and
ideas for the club were
suggested by the boys
and girls themselves.
The name was choosen
by a boy who was the
lucky winner in the con-
test. This brings me to
the point I know all of
you have been anxiously
awaiting, that is, the
name of the winner. So
boys and girls here he
is:
Contest Club Name
Winner
It gives me great
pleasure to announce as.
the winner of the $4 for
the best and most appropriate name for the
new club:
VERNIE PERRY, Jr.,
P. O. Box 307,
McKinney, Texas.
^ The name that has been selected for our
new club is one the judges thought would
best stand for all activities of the club. I
am sure that each member will try to be a
credit to the name and to the club itself.
I hope you will join our new club that has
been named by Vernie Perry and known as:
D. Y. B. CLUB
(Do Your Best Club)
Here is a list of names for honorable men-
tion and the club titles they have suggested:
Pattie Deplane, Sugarland, Texas—“Kront
Rank Club.”
Edith Martin, Qkemah, Okla.—“Our Oppor-
tunity Club.”
Theola Cross, Altus, Okla.—“The Worth-
while Club.”
Mrs. E. Vail, Kingfisher, Okla.—“Golden
Hour Club.”
Rose Hereford, Lometa, Texas—“The Happy
Life Club.”
Also our thanks to the many who sent in
club titles. We are sorry that you could not
all win, but, of course, that was impossible.
So it ia in life—some can win; but all must
strive. However, the greatest reward is the
knowledge that you have tried to do your
best.
Remember, there are going to be other con-
tests and perhaps YOU will yet be a winner.
I thank all who helped to make the contest
a success.
Each of you will receive one of the first
handsome Membership Cards. So you see you
have won a prize anyway. As a special
arynrd, all who entered a name for the club
will receive a Gold Star on their Membership
Card.
D. Y. B. Club Rules
Following are the rules for the new club
which have been suggested for the most part
by readers of the Boys’ and Girls’ page:
Rule 1. There will be no age limit for the
club. Only contests will require age limits
so as to give all an equal opportunity.
Rule 2. Any reader of this page is eligible
for membership providing he or she promises
to accept the rules in full.
Rule 3. There will be no assessments, dues
or fines at any time.
Rule 4. The chief object of the club is to
bring about a better understanding and friend-
ship between the readers of this column. This
will be accomplished in the following ways:
(A) A list of Shut-In naums with ad-
dresses will be published each month and the
readers may select any name they wish, to
which they will be a “Sunshine Pal.” That is,
write letters, send poems, etc., to the Shut-In
for as long as they choose. You may select
one name and be a Sunshine Pal for a month
or a year, just as you please.
(B) Members may send their names and
Addresses to the club page with a request to
rave their name printed apd ask for a “Pen
Ppl." In this way you can bring happioeas
to someone who is lonely but not sick.
Rule 5. At frequent intervals contests will
be held in which members in good standing
may takwa part— the kind of contests being .

Club letters
Mattie W. Crites, Morganton, N. C., writes:
“We live on the Catawla river and as I write it
is bank full and out a little in the low places.
There is a (lam above qs and one below; how-
ever, 1 don’t think there is any danger. J. W.
Tonilin, Tyler, Texas, sends me the Boys’ and
Girls’ page. I think it is so nice of him and
I appreciate it so mpeh. Thank all of you
who have been kind to me.”
Grace Ladell Cross, Altus, Okla., says: “I
cannot express how much I enjoy your Boys’
and Girls’ page. My sister and I get more
pleasure out of it than anything else in the
paper. I would enjoj a club very much. I
think it is considerate in writing to the poor
Shut-ins. My grandmother passed away and
we shall miss her. She would read the Boys’
and Girls’ page to my little brother and sister.
She enjoyed it herself, too.”
Willie Esther Hager, Madisonville, Texas,
writes: “I do hoQf you can have a club for
the young folk. It think it would be so nice.”
Meredith Bodges, Alvurd, Texas, writes:
“I would enjoy being a member of yoqr club.
I am in the seventh grade."
Eddie Riekenbacker
' Because he showed a passion for motors
while still in high school, a boy in Columbus,
Ohio, stepped right into the automobile busi-
ness upon graduation.
Now 46, he is ptill interested in motors. As
general manager of Eastern Air Lines, Ed-
ward Vernon Riekenbacker puts his faith in
engines mpre powerful than any he ever
dreamed of as a boy.
That’s as it should bm for “Eddie" Rieken-
baeker’s fame is intimately connected with
roaring motors. They put his name in head-
lines as a racing driver. They kept it there
when, with guns ablaze, he placed his name
in the annals of World War airmen. They
have brought him security and moro renown
as a transport executive.
When the U. S. went to war, Eddie Ricken-
backer was the nation’s leading auto racing
driver- It was natural to find him a special
chauffeur for Gen. John J. Pershing. But
that was part of a plan.
Being so close to the “Boss" the driver
knew he could get transferred to practically
any place he chose. He chose the gif service-

FEARFUL FLOODS
Recent floods in the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys, more
destructive than any hereto-
fore, recall that several
months ago raging floods tore
through three provinces of
the Phillippine Islands, leav-
ing wrecked homes, devastat-
ed fields and drowned ani-
mals. Forty-eight people are
known to have lost their lives
and 2,000 more are said to
be missing.
Many rivers overflow and
carry away man and his
works, but China’s great
“River of Sorrows,” the
Hoangho, is the worst of all,
in this respect.
Chinese have tried to hold
its yellow flood with levees
60 to 70 feet high, but it has
repeatedly burst through to
devastate the adjoining plains.
Its worst overflow, in 1887,
carried away nearly a million
souls. Another million died
of starvation and disease.
One of the world’s freakiest
floods occurred in California’s
Imperial Valley in 1905-06.
The Colorado river flooded
400 square miles in the valley,
forming a lake known as the
Salton Sea. If the river
hadn’t been turned beck into
its proper channel, the entire
Imperial Valley would now be
an inland sea.
Heaven and earth shall pass
away, but my words shall not
pass away. Matt. 24:35.
