Imagination is the key which unlocks the door to op-
portunity. Our job today is to get ready for tomorrow.
Money is the trade token of labor. Labor is power—and
power is good—when it is used with a thought of tomorrow.
The man standing behind that door is the YOU of
tomorrow. Who he is and what he is depends upon you
and you alone.
Initiative is the individual need today—it’s the word
with four “I’s” in it. Put that word in your tomorrow’s
tool box—and use it. It will get you somewhere.
Indifference—Doubt—Lack of Self Confidence—Want
of Purpose—they all lead to defeat and make labor drudg-
ery and unprofitable.

filling its entry regularly even though in a small way, and
soon you will be able to grasp opportunities which will in-
sure your tomorrow.

State of Texas, amending said Article
8, of the Constitution of the State of
Texas by adding thereto a new section
to be known as Section 9a,. which shall
read as follows:
Section 9a. The Legislature is au-
thorized and directed to provide for
the creation, establishment, construc-
tion, maintenance and repair of a sys
tem of improved highways throughout
the State to be under the control of
the State; and in order that the State

The belief that the French air
force is meant to be a menace
to Great Britain has long been
held by most London newspapers
and by many of England’s public
men. Now it gets some coun-
tenance from the British Govern-
ment. The Prime Minister, Mr.
Baldwin, told the House of Com-
mons Tuesday that the Govern-
ment had decided to build an air
fleet equal to the strongest in Eu-
rope. He added, however, that it
would always stand ready mean-
time to consider a proposal look-
ing to a limitation on this kind
of .armament. This may not
amount to an acceptance of the
belief that to menace Great Brit-
ain is the chief purpose which
France serves in maintaining an
air fleet so greatly in excess of
any apparent defensive need and
so greatly in excess of what it can
afford, but it is an acknowledg-
ment that, whatever the motive,
the existence of that fleet is re-
garded by the Government as a
menace to the security of Great
Britain. Moreover, it is not a
very cryptic notification to
France that it must choose be-
tween abating that menace or en-
gage in a building contest which
neither can afford, but in which
Great Britain could engage with
much larger financial resources
than France can command. That
the two foremost allies of the
war should fall into this attitude
toward each other can not be
other than disheartening to those
who had indulged in the hope
that the comradeship of that
struggle would beget a spirit of
faith and forebearance which
would of itself be something of a
guaranty of peace.
It is not supposed e,ven by the
most embittered critics of French
poliey in London that any
thought of aggression enters into
t he purpose of B’ranee in main-
taining an air fleet so absurdly
in excess of any pretended de-
fensive need. The motive usual-
ly attributed to France -is that of
wishing to put British diplomacy
under a duress and so keep it
from becoming obstreperous in
France's quarrel with Germany.
The passivity of British policy
lias by some been ascribed to fear
excited by France’s huge air
fleet.—Dallas News.

New York, June 27.—Mrs. An-
na Buzzi was found guilty of
murder in the first degree by a
jury after ten hours deliberation
Thursday night.
She was charged with killing
Frederick Schneider, wealthy con-
tractor, after driving with him
to a lonely spot on the outskirts
of the city, during dusk of a day
last winter.
Mrs. Buzzi had been Schneider’s
housekeeper. The prosecution
attempted to show she shot him
to death in a fit of jealousy when
he threatened to go back to his
wife.
The defendant, a short, stockily
built woman, completely collapsed
