INSURANCE
The General Motors Corpo-
ration has extended its system
of insuring the lives of all em-
ployees to cover its agents and
their employees. Coupled with
that is a thrift plan to enable
employees to share in the com-
pany’s profits by Investing a
small percentage of their own
wages. This and other large
companies are engaged all the
time in efforts to work out
equitable methods of helping
those who work for them to be tions, the Pope, the
certain of independence in old
age or because of illness or ac-
cident, and to leave their fami-
lies provided for 'in case of
death.
If large industries can ' do
this, why not small ones as
well? It is on the cards that
the time is coming when every-
body who works for anybody
else will be required to leave a
certain percentage of his salary
or wages in trust, to be match-
ed by an equal amount contri-
buted by the employer, to form
the basis of s fund to take care
of him after given number of
years of work, or at a given age
or if incapacitated. And
coupled with this will be some
form of employment insurance,
so that nobody can be thrown
out of work with nothing to
live on.
WEALTH
The sole heir to 4100,000,000
or more died in New York the
other day. Miss Ella Wendle,
77, only survivor of six sistefs
. and brothers whose grandfa-
ther was a partner of 'John
Jacob Astor, the- furtrader,
lived alone in an old house on
Fifth Avenue, and died alone
except for doctors and nurses.
She had not a single relation
left in the world.
Every dollar of the great for-
tune which sjie had to dispoae
of is in New York city real es-
tate. Tbs lot on which her
home stands is valued at nearly
four million dollars. Grand-
father .Wendel laid down a
rule for his family: "Buy land,
never mortgage, never sell,
never build, never make re-
pairs.” Buildings deteriorate,
tenants sometimes do not pay
their rent, but land value al-
ways increases. The purchase
of land in. any growing com-
munity is the swiftest certain
road to wealth. * Over any
twenty-year period the owner
of well-located vacant land in
or close to a big city will have
made several times more mon-
ey simply by sitting still and
watching the population grow
than he could have made by
putting the purchase price into
a savings bank, into bonds or
endowment life insurance or
any of the other, perfectly safe
forms of investment.
DEPTHS
Divers can now go to un-
heard-of depths by the use’of "
mixture of oxygen and helium
to breathe, instead of ordinary
air. The greatest danger to
workers under pressure, as in
diving suits and in deep cais-
sons or tunnels, is the escape of
nitrogen from the compressed
air into the blood and tissues,
forming bubbles which set up
a serious illness, often result-
ing death, when the workers
return to normal pressure.
The U. S. Bureau of Mines
has been experimenting with
the helium-ogygen mixture and
finds that it serves as well as
normal air for breathing pur-
poses, while the helium is not
absorbed into- the body as
nitrogen is.
This discovery may result in
the recovery of treasure from
the wrecks of many ship* which
lie too deep on the ocean bed
to be reached by diving meth-
od?. now in use. S
CALENDARS
It is on the cards that some-
time—perhaps in five years,
perhaps in fifty, we shall have
a new calendar. Everybody
who has to do with the present
method of.dividing the year
agreed that it is clumsy and un-
economical. Some are for
making a radical change at
once .to a thirteen-month sys-
tem, which many business
houses now use In computing
their own budgets and making
their own comparative analyses
of business conditions. Others
believe th~t would be too
much of a change, and prefer
to take two bite# at the cherry.
Not until the League of Na-
Anglican
church, the leaders of the Jew-
ish religion and the head of the
Mohammedan church agree
will there be any radical
change from the present calen-
dar.
EINSTEIN
Back in his home in Ger-
many, Einstein, the great scien-
tist, tells what he thinks of the
United States.
A land of co-operative ef-
fort," he says, ‘‘quite different
from our individualistic. Eu-
rope. Everybody does team-
work.”
That is not the conception
many people have of America.
We think of Europe as a hot-
bed o* Socialism if not of Com-
munism, and of our own couth
tty as a place where everybody
goes his own -way without giv-
ing . enough attention to his
neighbor’s problems.
Probably both points of
view are both right and
wrong. Professor Einstein saw,
principally/ only men
science, working together in
laboratories and universities.
Their methods may be much
more co-operative than those
common in business, without
signifying any such wide-
spread team-work as the good
Professor attributes . to out;
whole people. And it may well
be that we hear a great deal
more about Communism than
the facts warrant, because it is
more sensational than the fact
that most Europeans go strictly
about their own business and
let the other people alone.

In Foard county gardens
have attained a respectability
born of drouth and demonstra-
tions. “The next drouth will
not catch ray pantry empty if
I can possibly grow' vegetables
with which to fill it,” is heard
on all sides, the borne agent de-
clares. Demonstrators have
had as many as 10 varieties of
vegetables growing all winter,
and this has done a lot to end
the reign of limited “bean and
mustard” gardens.
The prize garden story
comes from Smith county. Mrs.

raced this fail—most of it by
farmers themselves. Terrac-
ing schools 'are being held in
different parts of the connty

been conducted by the county
agent, W. H. DuPuy, in an ef-
fort to reach aa many farmers
as possible.
Meridian—Feeding

market, H. L. Knust, swine
demonstrator of Clifton, Bos-
que county, used two hogs to
test the value of the ration be-
ing fed. These two hogs, a
barrow and a gilt, gained 73
pounds in 30 days, nearly 2 ■/&
pounds each daily. The ra-
tion consisted of eight part*

protein supplement, fed in self
feeders with green feed fur-
nished by grazing on an oat

According to a statement
furnished the Reporter by

er, the outstanding bonded in-

posed amendment to the State
constitution providing for ■ a
state-wide bond issue of $85,-

tion the Houston Chronicle
Sunday gave a tabulation of
the amounts which would be
refunded the counties under
the highway plan. Shelby
county's refund would amount
to $640,464.19. This, would Blessing
mean lifting a heavy tax-bur-
,derf from the people. The in-
more terest on the bonded indebted-
ness of the county is no small
amount within itself and if the
amendment offers a possible
relief from the ever-increasing
tax load it is worthy, st least,
of the thorough investigation
by every citizen.

International Sunday School
Lesson for April 5
JESUS TEACHES HUMILITY
Luke 14:7-14;.18:16-17
Practical every day Items
are taught throughout the
Bible. In this lesson it be-
comes . V book on social
etiquette. Some mas thought
to get credit for himself by in-
viting Jesus to a feast, since He
at-that time was the news
headliner in that part of the
world. Jesus is always study-
ing us, even as He observed
the scramble for the seats of
distinction around that table.
The people of the Far East fol-
low literally what Jesus ad-
vised as fitting. An invited
guest will not take the seat of
honor whieh he knows will be
assigned to him but tabs the
place nearest the door.
Further admonition was
given when any host was urged
to be a real philanthropist in
sendihg out his invitations and
not a mere social climber who
wants a return invitation.
There are multitudes of worthy
poor who are hungry: these
should be asked to come to the
table of bounty Constantly
the Bible is presenting s choice
social standard that mankind
will be blessed in following.
Children are given their
chance only where the princi-
ples of the Gospel are in prac-
tice. Contrast child fife in any
land where the Sunday school
is but little known with that In
which the Bible school is
making its greatest advance.
When mothers brought their
little ones to the Kindly Man
that He might give them His
even the disciple
barred the way untii the com-
mand was uttered "Suffer little
children to come urrti me, for
of such is the kingdom of
God.” Christianity aims to
stop the exploiting of children
that their best interest may be
safeguarded, for the boys and
girls of today become the men
and women of tomorrow. The
alternative Blaster Lesson is
based on.I Corinthians 15:1-8;
50-68.
Certainly a woman does
change her mind often enough,
but when she says she married
the best man in the world she
sticks to it.—Snap Shots.
San Antonio—A model or-
chard for the Medina Ranch
was planned during February
by the Bexar county farm
agent, Fred W. MaDy, at the
request of the owner of the
ranch, W. T. Montgomery.
The orchard is to be kept and
trained as a demonstration
orchard, showing selection of
varieties, planting, care and
pruning for this climate, to be
visited by the South Texas
Short Course each year. Well
rooted and grown trees were
secured.
