NUMBER 20.
1925 Unproved Kitchen Contest. Olney High 3—Jacksboro 0.
Miss Lula Sullivan, the home j
demonstration agent announces
that there will be another improv-
ed kitchen contest this year, and
urges the ladies to enter at once.
It is the aim of the kitchen im-
provement contest to influence
Texas farm women in regard to
four particular matters:
1. To give to the original kitch-
en, that is, the kitchen at present,
the greatest amount of time and
thought looking to its improve-
ment. i
2. To make the kitchen as sani-
tary as possible and to finish or
re-finish the floors and walls so
that they will be easily kept and
yet attractive.
3. To procure at the smallest
outlay of money possible the best
furnishings and labor-saving
equipment for the kitchen.
4. To so group and arrange the
kitchen furnishings that the wom-
an’s work may be done with the
greatest saving of time and ener-
gy; in other words, so that her
head may save her body.
The 1925 contest will begin im-
mediately after the Farmers’
Short Course at A. & M. College,
at which time the 1924 contest was
completed. Registrations will be
received until January 15th, 1925.

The habit, of course, of the
superficial is to speak of turn-
ing over a new leaf. It is not
so mnch a new leaf as it is' a
new pen, a new purpose, a new
policy, a new prophecy the
Let ua make resolutions, even
if we break them. If we fall
let us try, try again until we
succeed. We are enjoined not
to yield to temptation, for yield-
ing is sin. Each victory will
help us some other to win, If
that negative truth is valuable,
the positive side of it is more
valuable. •
* Try, even though you fail. ,
Each effort new strength will I
bring. Arise and try again, for
the mountain peak you shall
reach. Be not faint-hearted, the
future is yours. Be not short-
sighted, the horizon is extended.
Be not little, the world is big-
Be not human only, God is your
friend. Do not look at the fail-
ures of last year. Look at the
material of next year, out of
which you can construct suc-
cess. fortune and favor. The
prophesy of the future is preg-
nant with prosperity, progress
and power. If Jesus Christ does
not return before the year ends
there will be, from a human
standpoint, unlimited progress
and power. These things should
make us serious because we
need more humility and grace
in the moments of disaster and
peace and progress than we do

Down In Comfort, Texas, they say, “God made the armadillo,
but Charles Apelt, our richest townsman, found out what the armadillo
was good for.” When he found that out he made a million dollars.
With the few dollars he had left after eleven failures, Apelt
bought a tiny farm and settled down to support his sickly family by
tilling the soil.
One day as he sat, discouraged, he saw a small animal running
past. He threw a stone at It, but the animal’s tough armor-plate hide
was an effective defense. Apelt threw again, hitting the animal
squarely in the head and killing it. More as a souvenir, Apelt skinned
his strange find. He tried to flatten the skin, but found this kind of
hide wouldn’t flatten, so he threw it away. A day or two later ho
noticed that the sun had curled up the armadello coat into a half
oval shape and given it a polish like a mirror. Then he had a vision
of an artistic silk-lined basket formed out of this shell. That day
there was born a new industry.
The armadillo, as you may know, is a mammal about three feet
long. It is a harmless animal that lives on roots and worms, and its
meat is sometimes eaten.
Tapering the shell into a beautiful design and having It silk-
lined l»y Mrs. Apelt. he took his odd find to a curio shop, where It
was eagerly bought Then he started a basket business. Today he
employs 100 men and as many dogs—just any sort <JT a dog—and they
are kept busy in the mountains routing out armadillos, which are
plentiful. t» J
The demand for armadillo baskets has extended all over the world.
In some of the shops on Fifth Avenue, New York, an Apelt made
armadillo basket sells for $250.
On his great estate in Texas the man who failed a score of times
Is the proud possessor today of a mansion that is the -show place of
