THOUGHTS FOR
TODAY
Today well lived
makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness,
and every morrow a
vision of hope.
—Kali-Das.
There are only two
rules for good man-
ners: One is, always
think of others; the
other is, never think
of yoorself.—8. JowetL
We judge ourselves
by what we feel capa-
ble of doing, while oth-
ers judge us by what we
have already done.
—Longfellow.
The finer the sense
for the beautiful and
the lovely, the fairer
and lovelier the object
presented to the sense.
—Coleridge.
It is the little things
well done that go to
make up a successful
and truly good life.
•—Theodore Roosevelt.
And Jesus answered him.
saying, It is written, That man
shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word of God.—
St. Luke 4.4.
How Lang Can We live?
In the ancient Scriptures we
are told that the days of
man’s life are three score
years and ten. We have be-
come so accustomed to regard-
ing seventy as the limit of
human life, that it comes as a
surprise to most of us to learn
that science not only holds out
promise that the time is at
hand when the average man
or woman can expect to live
long beyond seventy, but also
proves that the average age of
the American people has been
increasing steadily for many
years.
By taking the records of
births and deaths, and the age
at which each person dies, the
United States Census Office has
compiled a table of “life ex-
pectancy,” which shows us
some very interesting facts
about ourselves.
In the year 1900, for exam-
ple, the average boy baby
could expect to live only to 48,
but by 1930 the expectation of
life for males had jumped to
59, and the latest vital statis-
tics indicate that the next
tables will show a higher av-
erage life expectancy than
that. Girl babies start life
with an even better ehanee of
longevity, the average woman
living three years longer than
the average man.
Some of the reasons fa* this
longer life of Americans are
plain enough. Babies get bet-
ter medical care now, and few-
er die in infancy. Also, the
general health of grown-ups is
better than it used to be. Ex-
cept for war and the great in-
fluenza epidemic of 1918,
which killed half a million
Americana, and 25 million in
the rest of the world, there has
been no wholesale cause of

WORR Y?
“Gone with the Wma"—but where’d the wind go?
It just keeps on blowing—where to—we don’t
know—
It makes no material difference—so why worry
about that?
You may as well aay—why the tail on a cat?
Worry about things that are worthy of thought—
Godliness—health cleanliness—others are naught—
But when it comes to the food, that keeps the health
fine—
Let that be my worry—just phone Number Nine.

death in forty yearn, to short-
en the life of any great number
of people.
Medical science has made
great progress in the field of
children's health, and it is now
concentrating on the ills inci-
dent to advancing years. More
Americans die of heart disease
than from any other tingle
cause, but that is gradually be-
ing conquered.
With more people living to
grow up, and then living long-
er, the average American is
considerably older than in the
days of our grandfathers.
National Wildlife Week
When more than 11,000,000
Americans get behind a move-
ment which is non-profit and
non-political that’s news! The
National Wildlife Federation,
formed for the purpose of uni-
fying effort toward restoring
the depleted natural resources
at the United States, is certain
that many persons will co-op-
erate in the staging of the Na-
tional Wildlife Week March
17 through the 23rd. This will
be the third annual observance
and wildlife stamps, the pro-
ceeds from which are used to
finance the nation-wide restor-
ation program, will be on sale.

im m. met sms
Dallas, Tex., March 9. (UP)
—Alvin M. Owsley, former U.
S. minister to Denmark and
former national commander of
the American Legion, predict-
ed today that the Finns “will
have peace with honor or they
will fight until they are exter-
minated."
“All friends of Scandinavia
hope there will be some basis
of peace which will end the
war between Finland and
Russia.” Owsley said. “But as
to the outcome, or whether or
not other Scandinavian coun-
tries come to the aid of Fin-
land, anybody’s guess is as
good as another’s.”.
Honor Roll First
and Fifth Grades
A NEW ONE; BUT
THEY HAD FUN
Tyler, Tex. (UP)—Some-
body in Tyler had a little fun
out of the mid-January cold
spelL
Householders answered tele-
phones to be informed by a
sweet, feminine voice that it
was imperative that they
should carefully wrap their
telephones during the sub-
freezing weather or the in-
struments would freeze and
not Work.
Seme of more gullible call-
ed the telephone company and
said they would gladly take
care of their ’phones if the
company would tell them the
best manner of wrapping for
protection against the cold.
The telephone company
spilled the beans; told the res-
idents the warning did not
come from the company and
that their ’phones would
weather the freeze without
wrapping.
Superintendent G. D. Pruitt
has announced the honor roll
of the first and fifth grades of
the Timpson school. These two
grades were omitted when the
other list was published sever-
al days ago, due to illness of
the teachers.
First Grade
David Billingsley, Ann Vick-
ery, Janis McDonald, Janice
McDonald, Maude Yvonne Mc-
Conner, Scotty Dial, Charles
West, John Neill Rhodes, Paul
Richard Neel, Glenda Hilliard,
Leon Screws, Betty Jo Bishop,
Bobby Glenn Hayes.
Fifth Grade
Jake Gasway, Susan Love,
Frances Morgan.
In the list published several
days ago, the name of Charles
Lightfoot was unintentionally
omitted in the seventh grade.
Got His Fiali, Anyway
A little thing like a shark
stealing his twenty-five pound
redfish didn’t keep G. P.
Hardy, Jr., of Bay City, Texas,
from feasting on redfish re-
cently.
On a recent expedition to
Brown Cedar cut, Mr. Hardy
caught a big red. He staked
the fish and resumed his
angling. A few minutes later
he pulled in his stringer for a
prideful look at his neat catch,
but nothing remained of the
red except its head. Disgrunt-
led, Mr. Hardy went on fishing
and in a few minutes tied into
a whopper. After a battle, he
landed an eight-foot shark.
Upon cutting the shark open
the fisherman was amazed to
find his huge redfish in its
stomach. Mr. Hardy later an-
nounced that the fish’s un-
usual adventure in no way af-
fected its flavor.
Cast-Iron Road Built
Minneapolis, Minn. (UP)—
Automobiles soon may speed
over cast-iron highways if an
experiment by the Minnesota
highway department proves
successful. Four-fifths of
mile of . cast-iron pavement
blocks, laid on a concrete base
and bound in place with bitu-
minous material is being con-
structed.
Dog Meets Tram
Nightly For Paper
Chester, Maas. (UP)—Short-
ly after dusk every night, the
Eastern States Limited roars
through Chester—and every
Dight it is met by a dog which
brings a Boston paper home to
its master.
U. S. Boyer, flagman of the
Boston A Albany railroad, ties
a flashlight around the neck of
his 2-year-o!d springer, Kota
Chief, so the trainmen will
know where to throw the pa-
per. The dog picks up the pa-
per as soon as it strikes the
field along the tracks and trots
away to his master’s distant
farmhouse.
Mercy to him that shows it,
is the rule.-—Cowper.

selves are worth a minimum of

Hillsboro, Tex. (UP)—Vice

dorsed for the Democratic
nomination for President by
the Texas State Democratic
executive committee Saturday.
The committee selected
Waco as the site of the state
convention, which will be held
May 28.

Plan Armory Building
Program in Texas
Fort Worth, Texas. (UP)—
Gen. John A. Hulen, chairman
of the Texas National Guard
armory board, said today that
the board will meet soon to
consider acceptance of a $7,-
200,000 Reconstruction Fi-
nance Corporation loan'for an
armory-building program in
the state.
Acceptance of the loan, he
said, depends upon agreement
with conditions laid down by
the RFC. The loan, at 8% per
cent interest, would be repaid
in 27 years by rentals eharged
to the state for use of the
buildings, plus state appropria-
tions.
The tentative program calls
for construction of 70 armories,
stables and garages in 50 Tex-
as towns. The $7,200,000
would cover construction costs.
Communities in which the ar-
mories would be built would
furnish the sites.
