The time is near, if we can
catch the drift of the
recent talks by congress-
men, when large appropria
tions for benefit payments will
be a thing of the past. With
540,000,000,000 debt already
registered the time is near for

Anyhow, the country seemed
to get along pretty well back

those days everybody had peas

“It’s hard to understand.’’
states one editor, “why the U.
S. navy should be expected to
protect Americans in places
where they have no business
being.” About the only place
Americans have no business
being is in jails and peniten-
tiaries.
The next big job will be to
convince Japan that she has
not been observing the “decen-
cies” in international life. It
may, or may not, take a war
to show her what the “decen
cies are. Much depends upon
the manner in which she is
told about it, and who does the
telling,
“We all hate quarrelsome
people,’’ says one of our un.
named acquaintances. “It’s
so much easier to live with
those who give in to avoid a
row.”
Think of all the labor the
machine age has saved us by
slicing our bread and baloney.
But we have to pay for most
of the “baloney.”
As a rule, the drink a Ft.
Worth man takes that makes
him feel rotten is the one he
takes to make him feel a little
better when he already feels
good.
Maybe the reason the Lea-
gue of Nations has been so
quiet lately is because it has
switched jobs from umpire to
storekeeper.
Any Dallas citizen can beat
Wall Street by starting with
a shoestring. The way to do
it is to tie the shoestring
around your purse and leave it
there.
What 128,000,000
Consumers Want

MAYBE WITH CATSUP
Recent estimates by the Bureau of
the Census place our population at
approximately 128,000,000.
All we know about our newly-
married associate is what his neigh-
bors tell us, and here’s the latest
one, says the Washington Post:
Seems a quarrel had started in
some inexplicable fashion, and it
went on almost all night. Came
morning and the husband awoke to
hear his wife rummaging ’round
One up and five to go.

The Newspaper, the Church, the
School, each have rhofr place In a
progioasive community. No coir-
civilly prospers withoit them. Your
subscription does not mean much to
either but with many others it makes
the power which builds a communi-
ty. Your share in community up-
building is tbe support you give to
these Institutions.
That is
our government is conducted, and by
which it is supported. That is the
American nation.
How is this huge group faring?
In the one thing that concerns it
most—the cost of living—-not so well!
From housewives and wage-eamera
throughout the nation are heard pro-
tests against the increasing strains im-
posed on the family budget; against
the deepening dips into the weekly pay
envelope required for the necessities of
life.
In cases where the family Income haa
remained stationary, the burden en-
tailed is serious. In those rarer in-
stances where income has risen, the
benefits of such increase have been
offset by the higher costs of food, rent,
clothing and equipment essential to lift
and work.
This is not what our 128,009,000 con-
sumers expect when the politicians
promise them better conditions. What
they anticipate is not less for their
labors, but more.
Neither politicians nor the govern-
ment—as experience has proved—can
fix successfully or directly the cost of
commodities. But they can reduce the
high oost of living, by cutting the high
oost of government—for again, as expe-
rience has proved, the two are twins.
A steady climb In the public debt,
and a corresponding rise in political
payrolls is not the way to lighten either
of those burdens. If the government
wants to help its people, let ii lower
its own costs then watch the cost of
living fall in unison.
And 128,000,000 consumers will cheer
such a program.
The income tax form* have
been simplified and now the
only thing to worry about is
getting the income.

TRAP
Like to See This
Two heavyweight boxers chasing
each other round the ring kept
treading on the toes of the small
referee. At last he lost patience
and shouted:
“If you don’t stop treading on my
corns there’s going to be a fight!”
Her Ideal
“What is your ideal
friend?”
“One

who is clever enough to
make money and foolish enough to

“Can’t stop. Got to meet my hus-
band.”
“When have you got to meet
him?”
“Half an hour ago.”

conference games left with

final outcome ?--Your guess
I is as good as mine--But one
thing is certain. From now on
you will see an entirely differ-
ent brand of football than that
displayed by the Lions in the
first four games of the season.
It has been said and proven
that the shortest distance be-
tween two goal lines is a for-
ward pass So Carrollton takes
to the air. Failing to produce
scoring punch with their run-
ning attack and not having a
passing attack to fall back on,
the Lions have been pretty
much behind that well known
eight ball But from now on
it’s passes galore. Montgome-
ry, center, and Lancaster,

forward wall have been shift
ed to halfback and end respec-
tively, Montgomery to pass
There came an angry murmur,
concluding with a tart: "Rats!”

'Okay, sweet,” he cooed. "Cook one

Caddie—No, sir; I was laughing

Daffy Tale
A nut was smoking a cigarette—
but he was placing the lighted end
in his mouth. A passerby watched
the nut for a moment, and then
couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Hey, you!” he shouted. “What’s
the idea of putting a lighted cigar-
ette in your mouth?”
The nut shrugged.
“It’s the best I can do,” he sighed.
“I can’t afford a cigar.”—New York
Mirror.

the clerks at the employment ex-

Culprit
A politician was just finishing an
address to a big meeting. Towards
the close of his speech he noticed a
burly-looking man pushing his way
towards the front and brandishing
an ugly-looking stick. The man
seemed anxious to get at the poli-
tician.
“What do you want?” asked the
latter, in a frightened voice. “Is it
me?”
“No, no,” came the reply. "Car-
ry on. I don't want you. I want
the guy who asked you to speak.”—

made you what you are, the same

“Not much. She says I’m a poor

Training
The bright young thing came into
the room and smiled at her mother.
“Mother," she said, “I must have
some money for a new dress. Will
you ask daddy for it?”
“Ask him yourself, dear,” was
mother’s reply. “You are getting
married in a month’s time and you
must have some practice.”—Lon-
don Answers Magazine.
Alfalfa?
The sweet young thing watched
the cowboy swinging his lasso in the
grounds of the circus.
"My,” she remarked, “what a
long rope. What do you use it for?”
“Waal, lady,” he drawled, “out
west on my ranch, I use it for
catching cows.”
“How interesting,” replied the
young lady, politely. "Tell me, what
do you use for bait?"

Another expression that is
heard entirely foo often
around Coppell, is “Don’t tell
anybody I said so.”
The only sure thing about
the next war is that the first
round will be over before you
know whether it is a real one.
Poor folks are the ones who
don’t apologize to callers for
the things they can’t help.
“Remorse” is that sinking
feeling that comes when you
got the fiddler’s bill after the
dance.
“A raise,” asserts a friend of
ours who is an installment
fiend “is the increase in pay
you get just before going into
debt a little deeper.”
Jim says that a lot of young
folks these days who don’t
know where they are going
apparently haven’t the time
to stop and inquire.

The Deadly Pull
“What broke up the poker game
at Crimson Gulch?”
“Too much political influence,”
confided Piute Pete. “The sheriff
made it plain that he'd enforce the
law against gambling if he didn’t
win at least three out of four pots.”
