There is always something happen-
in life to cause people to be un-

Legislature in a few days at a
heavy expense and without any vis-

to cause sorrow even in a state so
wonderful and great as this one. It is
estimated that the special session
just closed a few days ago cost the
taxpayers approximately one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars in money
and other grief. Come te Texas.

The faculty building committee
met tonight with the regents to con-

one for men and one for women. Also
financed- by PWA loans, the dormi-

and $198,000, but ultimately will be

Many men might give as a reason
for their failure in life the fact that
they had too much confidence in the
possible assistance of rich parents or
other relatives, and were not forced
to rely on themselves as much as they
should in their early life. To feel too
much dependence on others in life
nearly always proves detrimental to
anyone. When a person realizes that
he must fight his or her own batttles
in this world it is our opinion that
their chances for suwcess are much
brighter; they must have self-reli-
ance when no one is backing them and
without self-reliance their case is usu-
ally hopeless,

These modern times it seems that
no one has time to rest. Even our
law-makers are kept busy at work
when the average person would cal-
culate that they should be on a vaca-

gressman Cross has been in Wash-

nomination; and as we understand it
the trips were not made for his pleas-

well. After the close of his campaign
for renomination to another term,
Senator Connally has been kept even
busier, it is said than oftentimes when
on duty in Washington. Without tak-
ing the necessary rest that his friends
desired he take after the campaign,
Senator Connally left recently for an
extended trip to Turkey and other
foreign nations where he is looking
after the interests of his own nation;

OLE AMUNDSON
Ole Amundson was bom September
7, 1851, at Lunerholt, Loiten, Hede-
marken, Norway, and departed this
life at his home, 5 miles southwest of
Meridian at 4:46 a. m., Sept. 28, 1934.
Age 83 years, and 21 days. He came
to the United States in 1877, landing
at Philadelphia, coming on to Waco,
Texas in November of the same year.
He was married at Meridian, Texas
to Helen Overbee, January 2, 1886.
To this union one daughter and one
son were bom. The son died in in-
fancy and the daughter, Mrs. Olive
Thompson, died February 5, 1922. The
wife died of typhoid fever at Fort
Worth July 4, 1888. After moving
back to Meridian he was married to
Syverina Hekne, December 22, 1892,
at Waco. To this union one daughter
and two sons were born. The sons died
in infancy. His Wife’s clothing caught
on fire while washing and she was
fatally burned; dying October 5, 1921.
As a result of having been kicked
on the knee by a horse, one of Mr.
Amundson’s legs was amputated a
few inches from the body 39 years
ago. For 32 years he walked by using
an artificial limb, or with crutches
No longer having strength to walk,
he rode about the home in a wheel-
chair 7 years. Another failure in
strength left him in bed where he re-
mained 1 year and 3 months. The last
7 weeks was spent in intense pain as
a bone disease had developed.
Even though Mr. Amundson was a
man of many deep sorrows and dis-
appointments in this life he was
cheerful, kind and patient and it was
an inspiration to his many friends to
visit him. His daughter, Mrs. Selma
Paulson, and family lived in the home
with him and kindly minstered unto
hm during these years of affliction.
He was confirmed in the Lutheran
Church in Norway in 1866. After com-
ing to Texas and while attending a
Holiness meeting, conducted by Rev.
Annie Johnson, he was regenerated,
born of the Spirit of God, and united
with the Holiness Church of Christ.
(This church was incorporated into
the Church of the Nazarene in the
meeting of the General Assembly at
Pilot Point, Texas, October 8, 1908.)
Two years later he was beautifully
sanctified and lived a consistent Chris-
tian life and was glad when the Lord
said “come up higher.”
Deceased is survived by one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Selma Paulson; ten grand-
children, and one great grandchild
and other relatives and many friends.
At the home, Rev. P. E. Thorson,
pastor of the Norse Lutheran Church,
gave tribute to the beautiful life of
the departed brother; then the re-
mains were conveyed to Meridian
Church of the Nazarene, where the
service was conducted by the pastor,
Rev. Nellie A. Hill. Interment was
made in the Lutheran cemetery at
Cranfills Gap, where Rev. Thorson
conducted the committal service, and
extended thanks in behalf of the be-
reaved ones, to all friends and neigh-
bors for their kindly deeds.

of governors’ ladies who have join
the NRA Garment Label Campaign
to fight the return of child 'labor and
the sweat-shop is not only the first
lady of Texas, but the first man.
Governor Miriam A. Ferguson is
urging the women of Texas to pro-
tect decent standards of hours and
wages in the clothing industry by de-
manding the NRA label in all the
garments they purchase for them-
selves, their husbands and children.
The committee in charge of the
campaign is headed by Mrs. Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt, and . includes leaders
of most of the big national organiza-
tions.
Governor Ferguson, in her appeal
to Texas women, says, “I think all
women naturally have an aversion to
sweat-shops because they know their
products, their very existence, is
based upon the labor of women and
little children who work for a mere
pittance under the worst possible
conditions. I am glad that the NRA
Garment Label Campaign gives to
every woman in America the oppor-
tunity to assist in abolishing the
sweat-shop from the industrial life
of our country.”
The Hon. Frances Perkins, Secre-
tary of Labor, who is an ardent advo
cate of the label, points out that in
the last analysis the success of the
anti-sweat-shop campaign must lie
with the consumer. “The safety of our
industrial standards rests with an in-
formed public opinion,” says Miss Per-
kins.
Anne L. Beals, of the New York
Junior League, has also issued an ap-
peal to Junior Leaguers to refuse to
buy any garment which is unlabeled.
“If you don’t see the label,” said
Mrs. Beals, “get up your courage and
ask the merchant why his shop is not
complying with NRA Code regula-
tions for the needlework industry.”
The National Garment Label Asso-
ciation campaign has headquarters in
the offices of the Coat and Suit Code
Authority, at 132 West 31st Street,
New York City. The campaign was
launched last October when Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt sewed the blue
eagle label of the Coat and Suit Code
Authority into her winter coat.
The National Committee points out
that women with meagre incomes
need not fear that the garment label
will necessarily increase the cost of
the clothes they buy, as it is possible
to make an inexpensive garment and
still observe the Code regulations of
hours and wages that make decent
living conditions possible. Sometimes
high priced garments are made under
bad labor conditions. They say the
only way to support the better man-
ufacturer and retailer is to look for
the label and insist upon it.

FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
MRS. T. E. WHITE
Mrs. T. E. White, who has lived for
many years in the Cayote community,
died at her home Monday, Oct. 1st.
Mrs. White was born in Switzerland,
January 6, 1860. At the age of eight
years she with her parents came to
the United States and settled in Ohio
for one year. They then moved to
Tennessee where they resided for six
years. In 1876 they moved to Texas
and settled near Waco.
On August 14th she was married
to Mr. T. E. White. To this union were
born nine children. Five are living to
mourn the going of their dear moth-
er. They are: Mrs. W. N. McMillan of
Levelland, Texas; Mrs. C. F. Burleson
of Aquilla, Texas, and Jess, Arthur,
and Tom White all living in the Cay-
ote community. There are also a
number of grandchildren and other
relatives who are made sad by her
death. It will be remembered that her
husband died May 30, 1931.
Mrs. White was converted and
joined the Methodist Church in early
life and lived a devoted Christian until
the end. She loved her church and
honored it with her loyalty and devo-
tion. By nature she was modest and
reserved, yet her highest aim and
greatest joy was in serving others.
She will be missed most by those who
knew her best.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist Church at Cayote,
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock with
Rev. E. N. Scarlett, pastor of the
Clifton Methodist Church, in charge.
Interment was made in the Fairview
Cemetery.
Another good mother, neighbor,
and friend has gone, but her memory
shall live for many years to come.
May her children and others seek to
emulate the purity of her life.
—A Friend.

STABILITY OF TEXAS TO
BE IMPRESSED ON VISITORS
Dallas, Texas, Sept. 28.—The fun-
damental stability of Texas with its
immense resources is certain to be
impressed upon visitors to San An-
tonio, Houston, Goliad, Brenham,
Nacogdoches, Huntsville, Dallas and
other cities slated to play leading
roles in the celebration of Texas'
Centennial of independence and Tex-
ans are confident that ample evidence
of the State’s prosperity will be af-
forded the vast influx of transients
anticipated in 1936.
With the knowledge that 1933, ad-
mittedly, was a lean year in produc-
tion and price for agriculture, indus-
try, commerce, natural resources and
labor, this belief finds ample founda-
tion in the official figures for that
year: Texas’ annual income in 1933
was more than two billion dollars, of
which raw materials alone contribu-
ted the sum of $1,142,000,000. This in-
come was distributed as follows:
Farming and livestock, $564,000,000.
Manufacturing (valued added by
manufacture), $460,000,000.
Petroluem production, $200,000,000.
Natural gas and natural gas-gaso-
line, $95,000,000.
Poultry and poultry products $72,-
000,000.
Fruits and vegetables, $50,000,000.
Mines and quarries, $49,000,000.
Sulphur, $45,000,000.
Lumber products, $45,000,000.
Dairy products, $40,000,000.
Wool and mohair, $18,000,000.
Commercial fisheries, $3,000,000.
Wild animal pelts, $1,600,000.
AH others, including distribution,
transportation, banking, utility ser-
vices, professional services,*" small
miscellaneous products, $500,000,000.
