Through the efforts of some
of the Chambers of Commerce
in towns and cities around
the Palo Duro Canyon a park
site has been opened this year.
For the past twenty years an
effort has been made to se-
cure either a state or national
park in Palo Duro, but so far
all efforts have been in vain.
This, perhaps, is partly due to
the fact that Palo Duro lies
so close to the Rockies People
taking vacations seldom stop
there due to the fact that an-
other day’s travel can put
them in the heart of the great j mission for which each per-

Most everyone lias a hobby
.if some kind. Many people are
prone to criticise one indulg-1
ing in this peculiar possession,
thinking as a rule it is a waste i
of time. But such is not the
ease. In the beginning the
plan of life embodied many j
features, and tlie having of a|
hobby was one of them. There
was a reason for all this when
human beings were first creat-
ed. Usually a hobby is that
which causes people to cease
thinking of themselves for a
time at least. Gratifying a
hobby requires the working of
the brain along some line other
than thinking of self and of
the occupation by which a live-
lihood is gained. It is not ev-
eryone who can indulge in a
vacation. There is no doubt but
that every working man and
woman should work but eleven
months in the year. The other
four weks should be used as a
rest period. But circumstances
often step in and prevent these
rests. Then it is that the think-
ing of a hobby, and the partial
indulgence in the same comes
to the front, helping the mind
to get a surcease from labor
even though the physical part
of the body is denied this
boon. A hobby is not a menace;
neither is indulging in one a
waste of time. It takes many
things to make a rounded out
life. There are the wise and
the foolish; the heavy and the
light. But they must all be
taken into account before the
story can be completed, and

turn, carry some of the great-

should the proper legislation
be secured and a real state or
national park made of this
canyon there will be thousands

spend a week or two in this

It is almost impossible for
one to pick up a magazine or
a newspaper without reading
a discussion of some kind on
the editorial page concerning
taxes. This has been a matter
over which people have fussed
and fumed since Adam and
Eve had to go to wearing fig
leaves. We “cuss” our high

not be so developed that the
outside world would want to

taken but little interest in
these things. Not only should
they be fixed to attract the
attention of citizens of other
states, but Texas should cer-
tainly have play grounds to
entertain its own citizenship.
Why should Texans have to
leave Texas to see the wonder-
ed. And why should we? There
is a certain amount of enjoy-
ment that is coming to us. Why
should we want conveniences?
Why should we want to go

Doctors Disagree
When children are irritable and
peevish, grind their teeth and sleep
restlessly, have digestive pains and
disturbances, lack of appetite, and
have itching eyes, nose and fingers,
doctors will not always agree that
they are suffering from worms.
Many mothers, too, will not believe
that their carefully brought up chil-
dren can have worms. The fact
remains that these symptoms will
yield, in a great majority of cases,

fair example of this was re- ht- with quickness and
eently found in the life of the
son of a wealthy couple. Being
very ambitious for the welfare
of their only child, and not
wishing him to come in con-
tact with the rough edges of
the world, the boy was not
permitted to attend a public
school, but on the other hand
had a private instructor. The
child seemed to be of normal
intelligence, but for some rea-
son did no good in his school
work. The parents were on the
verge of distraction. They call-

accuracy. Nothing seemed
amiss. He told the parents if
they would let him take the
boy with him to his home town
for a period of three months;
guarantee not to see him or
write to him for that period
of time, he would show them
something startling at the end
of that period. The parents
agreed. Wliat this practical
educator did was simple—and
efficient. He placed the seem-
ingly laggard in a public school
where he came in contact with
hundreds of boys and girls his
own age. He saw they knew
more than he did. In class they
outshone him. At first he was
angry for he had been told
none were smarter than he by
his tutor. Then the natural
ambition which is given every
normal person asserted itself.
He began to study, not because
he was forced to do so by in-
dulgent parents, but because he
determined not to be outdone
by his classmates. The result
was at the end of the three-
months’ period he was leading
his classes. What did it ? Noth-
ing more nor less than competi-
tion. Association and competi-
tion are the mainsprings which
keep the brain—the clock of
life—running smoothly and
perfectly.
Spratt. Pyorrhea likely. If
Jack had just had a tonsilec-
tomy and his wife had her
teeth puiled and replaced by
a false set, they could have
enjoyed both the fat and the
lean without discrimination.
Here is opened up a long
chain of possibilities for scien-
tific study. What made all
those strange and delightful
Mother Goose people act the
way they did? What queer
complex'was it which caused
little Miss Muffett to get up
and run. when the spider came
and sat down beside her? Why
did the discovery of a plum in
his Christmas pie so affect the
ego of little Jack Horner? The
criminal records of Taffy and
Tom, the piper’s sons, will bear
looking into in the light of the
new criminology. Was there a
relationship between those beg-
gars coming to town, “some
in rags, some in tags and
some in velvet gowns,” and
those that now come, some in
broken down Fords, and some
in new Packards? And finally
let there be a complete and
satisfactory explanation of the
case of that famous l)r, Fos-
ter who got stuck in the mud
clear up to his hub caps on his
way to Gloucester and had to
be pulled out and “never went
there again.”
A learned doctor of medi-
cine has discovered what was
the matter with Jack Spratt.
He could eat no fat because he
had a chronic gall bladder in-
fection, the gall bladder being
the front line trench so to
speak of a streptococcus whose
base of operations is in the
tonsils. He doesn’t explain
what was the matter with Mrs.
There is a big difference be-
tween talking about a matter,
and in thinking and acting.
One of the easiest things in
the world to get started is an
issue. One could say three and
three make six, then let some
bunch get together and begin
an argument and investigation
on the matter and before twen-
ty-four hours had elapsed the
masses would begin to doubt
the truth of the statement. Is-
sues are like contagious dis-
eases—they spread rapidly and
always bring plenty of confu-
sion in their pathway. This is
the big card always played by
politicians during campaign
years. Getting the people Con-
fused is the surest way to en-
able a bunch of tricksters to
carry their point. The Ameri-
can people are noted for being
the most effervescent in their
conclusions of any folks on
earth. They are spontaneous in
their decisions and long in
their regrets that decisions
were made without due
thought. This should not be
true in any line of American
life. Real thought and the
proper deliberation should be
taken into consideration in all
transactions of life. That is one
reason the Europeans so often
make success where the Ameri-
cans fail. They are not victims
of spontaneous combustion.
They take plenty of time to
think things over. T.hey rea-
son out the smallest details.
And another thing—there are
not many leaders in Europe.
Each man is his own leader. A
wise Creator gave all men a
brain to begin with. Had He
not intended for them to use
it in doing their own thinking
and planning it is reasonable to
suppose they would not have
been given this equipment in
the first place. A head is sup-
posed to be something more
than a mere hatraek. However
many people do 1 not even use
it for that in these days when
the hatless masculine is the
stylishly dressed male. In the
schools and colleges the first
thing which is taught the stu-
dent body is that life is real
and earnest, and that responsi-
bilities come to every individ-
ual before they are ready for
the long’ rest in the grave. That
is the practical side of the edu-
cational system. It is one rule
which applies to every phase
of life. A normal brain plus a
little thinking equals a suc-
cessful life.
of similar inquiries elsewhere.
Youngsters who learned to
subtract in the old-fashioned
way were found to be slightly
more accurate than those who
followed the additive system.
In a summary of the results of
this study, William Jansen, as-
sistant director of the research
bureau, offers the following
explanation: “The pupils who
used the additive method did
not do better than the pupils
who used the take-away process
either in addition or in sub-
traction. In fact, the slight dif-
ferences were generally in fav-
or of the groups using the
take-away process. Perhaps the
additive process in subtraction
is just enough like addition to
cause interference rather than
a positive transfer of train-
ing.”
Carrying water on both
shoulders makes both of them
tired.

INDIGESTION
"I find Black-Draught gives re-
lief for stomach trouble, caused by
constipation,” writes Mrs. Mahals
Atkins, of Ironton, Ohio. "I have
been troubled with Indigestion—
sometimes would have gas and
pains under my ribs. My food would
ferment, and I suffered uneasy feel-
ings. I found that taking a few
doses of Black-Draught would oaute
this feeling to pass away. I have uaed
Black-Draught for years, and I can say
that It Is the medicine for me.” rase

Indigestion. Biliousness
Children attending many of
the modern day public schools
are officially required to learn
.subtraction by the Austrian,
or additive method. When they
wish to subtract 5 from 12,
for example, they do not say
—as their fathers and grand-
fathers did when they went to
school—‘ ‘ 12 take away 5 leaves
7.” Instead they reason “5
and what are 12t” But this
theory, logical as it seems,
doesn’t always work out. An
experiment carried on in seven
schools by the board of educa-
tion’s bureau of reference and
research confirms the results
