Almost everyone likes to travel
and see the world with all its many
wonders and beautiful scenes, but
traveling calls for large sums of
money and much leisure time. There-
fore, traveling over the world is an
opportunity that most of us are de-
prived of. j
Although we cannot see the world’s
wonders with our naked eye, we can
with very little money and time read
books of men who have seen the
vbnid. When we cannot see this world
as it is with our own eye, why not
Jet our imagination carry us to the
utmost corners of the world and
bring before us true visions of the
past experiences of noted heroes.
By reading books of travel you can
in the course of a few hours be car-
ried to distant countries and get vis-
ions surrounding scenes brought
into your experiences by the imagi-
native power of your mind. Be a spec-
tator through your imagination.
When you have a chance and can
afford it, travel; but, when you can-
not travel yourself, give your mind
the opportunity to travel for you.
When you have free access to a 11
brary make use of the opportunity.
These books of travel have been writ-
ten to be used; therefore, why not
j read them and enjoy the richness of
their contents. M. P. S.

The Rev. J. A. Umes conducted the
chapel service on last Wednesday
morning. He gave an interesting and
inspirational talk on the first epistle
of Paul to the Romans.

SOCIETY
Last Thursday the Pep Squad and
the student body went on a weiner
roast to Tom Pool’s Park.
As usual, we had many good things
to eat, but most of our food was high-
ly flavored with sand on account of
the terrific wind that came with the
rain. Everyone was in high spirits, so
what did a little rain matter!
The Big Carnival
Hallowe’en night the Trinity Lu-
theran Ladies’ Aid and Clifton Col-
lege had a big carnival in the audi-
< torium, which was artistically deco-
rated with Hallowe’en colon.
The opening address was given by
Prof. Tyssen.
In the midst of the program, aid
was sought for the student who had

ATHLETIC NEWS ,
The fighting Cats lost a heart
breaker to the strong Granbury eleven
last Friday, the game ending with the
score 7 to 6 in favor of Granbury.
Clifton scored during the first
quarter when Marty Sorenson inter-
cepted a pass on our own 10-yard line
and didn’t slow up until he had safely
crossed the goal line. Since there was
no place-kicker, the Cats tried to buck
the line, but failed. The Cats held
this lead until the sceond half, when
the Pirates with plenty of interfer-
ence swept around our end for a 40-
yard gain and a touchdown. Their
extra point was made by a perfect
place kick. The Cats threatened the
Pirates many times during the last
quarter but the breaks went the oth-
er way.
The .Cats have improved since the
last game they played at home. There
will be an opportunity to see the Cats
play the Pirates of Granbury in a
team to team battle at the State
Park, Clifton, Thurs. afternoon. This
will be a hard battle, and we need the
town’s support. Come on, Clifton, and
back your team.

To many, murky skies, pattering
rain, and penetrating autumn chill
mean restlessness, chafing, depres-
sion of spirits.
The poet must have felt such an
emotional response to the weather
when he wrote forebodingly
“The melancholy days are here
The saddest of the year”
So prevalent is the idea that
threatening skies produce low spir-
its that an eminent physician re-
cently analyzed the phenomenon and
reported his conclusions. He attrib-
uted the moodiness felt on rainy days
to the poor light afforded by overcast
skies, and to the depressing atmos-
phere making respiration more diffi-
cult.
Be that so, there are households
throughout the land that successfully
defy the gloominess of foul weather.
One such household is well known to
me. It is a modest abode—in fact the
abode is not even permanent. But
wherever the family moves, the radi-
ant, contented atmosphere moves in
with them.
This week on the first drizzly
school day of the term, I heard 12-
year-old Mary of that household
coaxing:
'“Mom, please let me stay home
from school today. This is just the
kind of day I like to stay in and read
and make things and pop com. Can’t
I, Mom?”
And the husband of that family
knows when he opens the home door
on a gloomy evening, after a gloomy,
slushy day in town, that warmth and
cheer and the pungent aroma of hot
vegetable soup and roasting yams
and spicy apples'will invite him in
for an evening of happiness with his
family. .
Wealth is not essential in creating
such a congenial atmosphere. It may
hover like a halo sbove a table
spread with oilcloth from which warm

Man has so perfected mechanical
heating and cooling systems that
Brest buildings may be kept, through-
out the year, at an even, comfortable
temperature, despite sudden, harsh
outside changes.
Not so different is the influence of
a cheerful, contented housewife upon
the disposition of her household. Her
sunshine is as contagious as spring
measles in a kindergarten group.
The woman who makes home a
heavenly haven on gloomy days is
she who has learned to amuse herself
when shut off from the world—who
revels in exploiting the treasures of
her stronghold when stormy elements
battle outside.
It may be the neglected, book shelf
or magazine rack that lures her on
such leisurely days. How fascinating,
while embraced by one’s easy chair,
with a good light at his elbow to
trudge through the Northern woods
on a perilous jaunt—or to huddle,
shivering with fright, in the hold of a
frail craft as the furious sea lashes
it—-or to move among society’s elite
in some foreign capitol.
Or the woman who sews, especially
she who has little ones to clothe, there
is an appeal in such weather that may
express itself in the creation of dainty
garments. What lovely dreams may
be stitched into each neat seam or
ruffled cuff or provoking pocket
Even cleaning out drawers and
closets may take on added zest when
outside duties do not press one for
time.. These rainy day exploitations
unearth many a stray sock and mis-
placed cap and given-up-for-lost belt
And oh, the joy of dreaming over
old letters and scrapbooks and ludi-
crous photographs of bygone days
School day pranks, the Iovm and dis-
appointments of youth, departed
friends are revived as vividly as
though they weer a part of yesterday.

But, perhaps the most appealing of
all rainy day pastimes for the shut-
in home maker, and likely the one
her family most arortfiitui her in-
dulgence in, is cooking. ill
By cooking, I do not mean the prep-
aration of another of the regular
1,095 meals required for the family’s
yearly consumption. "
Rather, I am thinking of the
light that comes from choosing a new
recipe found in a crisp, new period-

Boll weevils are now abundant in
the cotton fields. New growth of cot-j
ton furnishes the best feed for the
weevils and favors successful win-
ter hibernation, according to Dr. F.;
L. Thomas, chief of the division of
Entomology, Texas Agricultural Ex-
periment Station, who urges the
earliest possible destruction of cot-
ton stalks in order to reduce the
number of weevils to go into hiber-
nation.
“Destruction of cotton stalks early
in the fall is one of the most impor-
tant steps in boll weevil control,” says
the bureau of entomology, U. S. de-
partment of agriculture, which has
been advocating this method for more
than 25 years. “Cotton should be
picked as rapidly as possible,” says
the bureau. “As soon as picking is
completed the stalks should be plowed
under. In cases where it is imprac-
tical to plow under the stalks farm-
ers will do well to turn cattle, sheep
or goats into the field to graze,

DUTY OF EVERY ONE
TO HELP THE NEEDY
By Austin Callan
President Roosevelt never speaks
without saying something. A lot of
other people do, and that makes the
practice all the more wholesome. The
There'other day he reminded “buck passers”
are large areas where cotton
ready almost if not
completely trying to help a down-and-out minor-
picked out and hence there is an un- ity, it did not mean they were dis-
usual opportunity now to clean up
cotton fields as a weevil control
measure. If the cotton stalks on these
: arms are destroyed promptly the
weevil population for next spring will
be greatly reduced. Community ac-
tion will produce the beat results bqt
every farmer should destroy the
stalks on his farm as early aa pos-
sible whether his neighbor does or
not. The individual farmer who de-
stroys his cotton stalks early will
benefit, because boll.weevils do not
move in large numbers until late in
the season, so that his fields will not
be infested by many weevils until
the 1934 crop is so far advanced that
it ia not likely to be injured.
“Early destruction of the stalks
prevents the. development late in the
fall of a multitude of weevils. Plow-
ing the stalks under or grazing de-
stroys the immature stages of the
weevils in squares and bolls now in-
fested and it stops the growth of
squares in which weevils might de-
velop later this season. This stops
the development of weevils many of
which would hibernate successfully,
and this in turn, decreases the num-
ber of. weevils which will emerge in
the spring. The destruction of the
stalks will also cause many weevils
now in the adult stage to starve be-
fore cold weather arrives. Others will
be in a weakened condition from lack
of food and will not survive the hi-
bernation period.
“Many experiments have shown
that the earlier the cotton stalks are
destroyed in the fall the fewer the
boll weevils in the following spring.”
The result may not be
ening. It may not show
is al-ithat because the government was
GRAND BALL
At Live Oak Hall, Friday, Nov. 10.
Everybody invited. Music by Carl
Remington and his Gold Diggers 86-2c
charged from a sacred responsibility.
The fact of the business is God Al-
mighty put that duty upon human
shoulders centuries before there was
an American government, and it re-
mains in force whether the “buck
passers” like it or not.
If there is some one in your neigh'
borhood needing helping which you
are able to give, it ia no plausible ex-
cuse to say that the government will
take charge of the case. Your plain
duty starts the moment you discover
the hungry stomach, the ragged gar-
ments, or the distressed situation,
whatever it ia. Whether you think so
or not it is an individual matter with
you if it be within your power to ren-
der the assistance which some one
or some organisation will have to
give to prevent suffering and distress
The Highest Power on earth or in
heaven has fixed the
and you cannot dodge it without defy-
ing that Power.
A writer in a Dallas paper recent-
ly made this statement: “Any person
knowing of a destitute family in the
city ia duty-bound to report the same
to the authorities that proper action
may be taken.” My conception of
Christianity and duty is that anyone
knowing of s destitute family, and
having means with which to give help
will provide the necessary food and
clothing without reporting his find-
ing to anybody.
I realize that it is easy to tell the
other fellow what he should do. Lec-
turing doesn’t cost anything. Most
of us dispose of a lot of it without
even expecting a “thank you” in re-
turn. But in this day of free pork
distribution, and drafts upon the
government for various forms of re-
lief, the individual needs to be re-
minded often and forcibly of the ob-
i gat ion upon him imposed by tha
Highest Authority.
Distress will, of course, become
too malignant in instances for con-
tinued ’individual relief. No man ia
able to stop up all the cracks in the
fence that the wolves of want are
crawling through. It is necessary to
call for community and governmental
help in many instances. But that is
the last resort rather than the first
method of aid. Our government was
not instituted for the purpose of do-
ing alms. The patriots never estab-
lished it with the view of having it
slaughter pigs to feed the people. In
an emergency a great humanitarian,
occupying the most exalted seat in
the republic, has sought to make it
helpful. But that doesn’t argue for
the abnadonment of the broad prin-
ciples of Christianity which requires
that we share bur biscuits, and IF
need be, our breeches, with a brother.
The fact of the business is, there
will be enough charity required this
winter to tax both the individual awff®
ia
the government, and neither should
be a shirker. 1
