GAYNOR, THE PHILOSOPHER
p
ffc
p-i
Mayor Gaynor, of New Yoik
City, is a philosopher as well as
politician, and since coming into
the busyHife as mayor of the
greatest city in America he has
put himself on record as a writer
of letters; not of commonplace
letters, but letters full of snap,
and admonition and wholesome
advice. These letters are written
in answer to those coming to him
in his daily mail, and are so re-
plete with good, common sense,
thaft the Rustler copies two of
them, with the thought that
their substance may prove of
benefit to others than those for
whom they were intended, as
their application may be made
general:
To a stenographer in one of the
city departments who complained
of having to do routine clerical
work in addition to his regular
duties he writes:
“If I were you I would do
everything I was asked to do.
That is the way to get on in .life.
Did you ever hear it said that he
who takes care to do no more
than he is paid for will never be
paid for more than he does? Go
right in and do everything, from
sunrise to sunset, and you will gc
right up. ”
To a lady in Harlem he writes
as follows:
“Your favor complaining of
boys playing in the streets is a.
hand. You ask if a law could no
be passed prohibiting boys play
fc ing in the streets, saying that n
‘would be a blessing to human-
1 ity.” I might ask you whether
if such a law were passed oi.
think it could be enforced ? Our
boys have a hard time to get
along in the crowded districts o
the city. ' They must play some-
where. Have you any boyi? I-
you had, do you think you coujc.
keep them off the streets ?”
And this to a little girl:
“I have received ycur letter
telling me that you and the little
girls in your neighborhood have
no place to play after school, and
The Legislature has shown a YOU CAiTT BEAT IT.

made to call a constitutional con-

The contending factions for
control of the Alamo are placing
their respective claims before the
legislators. The daughters of
our heroes may be as patriotic,
but they are not quite as har-
monious as their sainted sires.
The Oklahoma legislature is
attempting to pass a law estab-
lishing a minimum wage of $8.00
per week for all women who
have to work for a living. By
reading on the first page of the
Rustler this week * ‘The Story of
Josephine Pierce,” a Chicago
working girl, hardly anyone can
deny that some such law is need-
ed everywhere.

evident fact that the Tyler Com-

training for business life or they
would not have enrolled over 1500
students during the past twelve
months and today not have a
single graduate of their combined
course of bookkeeping and short-
hand or telegraphy out of em-
ployment unless of their own
accord.

“For A Greater Texas, Smaller
Farms and Better Farming” is
the slogan of the Texas Indus
trial Congress. It looks all right
on the stationery and painted on
the door, but it is peculiar a3 an
address on an envelope; however,
Uncle Sam’s postal clerks read
the newspapers as much as any
one, and some of them must be
N' £armer3 for an envelope bearing
the above motto as its sole ad-
dress was mailed at Hondo, Tex-
as, west of San Antonio on the
Southern Pacific and was de-
livered on schedule time by a
good natured Dallas postman to
the office of the Congress, on the
ninth floor of the Commonwealth
Bank building. It pays to ad-
vertise.
The picture, “The Black
Sheep’s WodI, ” put on by special
arrangement at the Lyric Mon-
day night was worthy a full
louse, but inclement weather
operated against its production.
However, those who wore there
were well satisfied with the en-
tertainment. It had its begin-
in England and its ending in the
great northwest and Canada,
with mounted police of Canada
and Chinooks as active partici-
pants in the thrilling climaxes in
he story. While there was love,
late, deception and treachery
employed in it3 make-up, with
much shootin’ and some killin’
the story was full of heart in-
terest and pictured a good moral.

scant comfort in this miserable
February weather, but what’s
the use to worry. Soon the good

with it will come opportunity for
joy riding.
O. B. Brooks stopped over in
Cumby Sunday night on his way
to Sulphur Springs. Mr. Brooks
is a farmer, and a good one, and
is one of the substantial citizens
of the community in which he
lives. To a Rustler representa-
tive Mr. Brooks said that he lost
his wife fourteen years ago, who
left him with three small children
— that the children are now all
nearing their maturity, and . dur-
ing the fourteen years his doc-
tors bill hasn’t exceeded $4.00.
But if the children inherit their
father’s ruggedness his state-
ment can’t be questioned, as he
is the perfect embodiment of
health and strength and vigor.
He tells us that the acerage in
oats around Miller Grove will be
larger this year than ever before;
that the farmers are just begin-
ning to find out that they can
take care of a good crop of oats
at a time which does not inter-
fere with the cultivation of their
cotton crop, and that the oat
crop makes the farmer indepen-
dant, to some extent of the corn
merchant.

products to the people in town, and
in this way create an easy and prof-

getting it to the customer when it
is fresh--when they want it.
Some of the London newspapers
maintain a column headed “Bar-

mers and others advertis to ship
by Parcel Post, butter, lard, fruit,
dressed poultry, eggs, fresh
meat, ham, bacon, etc.
The rate for this advertising is ten cents
per line for three insertions, cash to accom-
pany the order—five words to the line.

Friendship, Feb. 10. —Friend-
ship farmers are getting some-
what discouraged over the long-
continued rains.
No farm work has been done
here for some time; but very few
oats have been sown, and if the
rains continue the acerage will
be short.
The ladies are somewhat smart-
er than the men; they have their
gardens in good order; cabbage
set out and growing nicely. !
Mrs. John Randel received a
message from Greenville stating
that her sister, Mrs. Willis Chap-
man, was very ill.
Mrs. John Lewis is on the sicl^
list this week.
Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Burkett
Tarrant, on the evening of Feb.,
10, 1913, a boy; mother and babe
doing well.
Married Sunday evening at the
bride’s parents, George Carroll
to Miss Vera Boltih, both bride
and gro:>m are among the best of
our young people, and to them,
we extend our best wishes for a
bright future.
There is one consolation, if
February continues to hand us
unsealed packages of bad
weather for the remainder of the
month, as we have had bestowed
upon us for the first half, that
only 23 days of it can be piled
upon us, and half of it is gone
today.
