THE AMDllCAN r
FRIDAY APRIL 15 1921.
Plan less cotton and lose loss
money.
A lot of the folks who wont
to the cities to got rich arc now
borrowing money to pay for
their bread.
Lifo is what wc make it. It
can bo a bubbling spring giving
forth the sweetest of life of it
can be a turbulent turgid
stream carrying sorrow on Its
bosom.
The people who don't paint
their buildings because paint
costs so much are reminded
that lumber for repairing woath-
cr beaten buildings costs still
more.
The farmer who is only get-
ting pro-war prices for his pro-
ducts can't get very sympathe-
tic -over the hard plight of the
i-ailroad workers who arc kick-
ing on a 10 per cent cut in thoir
wages.
"Society's hinges arc loose the
world over. Statute law and
moral law arc being violated.
The younger generation cannot
remain exempt from the evil in-
fluences of its elders. But there
is a decent way and an inde-
cent way of placing the situa-
tion before the people. Herald-
ing in a semi-attractive fashion
the shortcmoings of one or two
youths for no other purpose
than to minister to tho chav-
ings of degenerate society is tho
indecent way that ought not to
be tolerated."
Wo can't imngino any com-
mon ordinary mortal becoming u
millionaire during 1021 unless
by accident. Surely tho busi-
ness m:m hasn't any such
dreams anymore than has the
working man. The farmer and
stockraiser know that if they
make it thru withe ut further
losses they can count themselves
lucky. This ia one year wo
must all peg away making the
best of things until tho old
world gets into her stride once
more. Anyway it's far belter
to bo happy and contented with
your lot than it is to secure
great riches. All the wealth in
the world cannot purchase hap-
piness or contentment unymore
than it could purchase good
health.
"Lot pitched his tent toward
Sodam because it offered a bet-
ter range for his cattle." His
heart was set on getting rich
and his wife wanted her daugh-
ter to enter society. Ho never
asked what aro tho schools and
churches of Sodam worth to any
famly? Will moral tone of the
city help or hinder my children
11 tho battle of life ? Tho great
question before tho American
today is not the labor and
capital not Bolshevism not the
problem of the unemployed but
' tho most insistent need of bur
country today is for a return of
tho good old-time home. And
dancing is tho enemy of tho
homo. It has wrecked its thousands."
- At a recent mass meeting of
citizens of Austin a committee
was appointed to nssist in pur-
chasing homes and other private
property embraced in the 132
acres the acquiring of which
was authorized by tho bill
(J passed by the Legislature mak-
. iug' an appropriation of $1350-
000 therefor the land to bo used
as an addition to the present
campus of tho University of
Texas. This committee will aid
in arriving at the true value of
the property that is to be pur-
chased it is stated. It is the ex-
pressed belief that a sum in ox-
cess of the legislature '.appro-
priation will be required and in
a order that this contingency mav

HUMANE WORK
Tho majority of the people
are oblivious to the conditions
of domestic animals. A man
could drive a bony ill fed and
l'mping horse down the street
and most people would not
notice anything wrong. On
account of this general popular
neglect the humane societies do
well in asking people to notice
April 17 ns Humane Sunday.
Public schools Sunday schools
and other childrens organiza-
tions should draw attention to
the subject.
Popular cHrlewmoss on this
matter is illustrated by tho
way four or five heavy people
used to pile into an old fashion-
ed "cany-all" and drive for
many miles over hard roads be
hind a single tired horse. They
would do the sums thing to-day
if automobiles were not more
popular. Old Dobbin would oc-
casionally -?top for breath on
these trips and then thought-
less people would give him a
stinging touch of tho whip or
"the braid" as they humorously
called it. But the overdriven
beast saw nothing funny about
it. With a dospiring switch of
his tail he would pick up his
toilsome load again and plod
nearly exhausted for many more
miles while the sweat gathered
in lather on his heated coat.
And the jolly crowd behind re-
garded it ns a pleasure excur-
sion. Many people who take the
greatest pains to have com-
fortable clothes for themselves
have always thoughtlessly left
horses tied out in tho hot sun
or oxposod to winter without
any blanket.
Then thoro are tho stingy
horse owners who stint their
patient old beast on the food
that he needs while ho grows
thinner and lankcr. Before
long they have to put thoir
hands in their parsimonious
pockets and buy a new horse.
Abuse of domostic animals is
often more thoughtlessness. A
few public reminders now and
then will lend people to show
more humane feeling. Tho
sympathy of children is easily
aroused for speechless creatures
and no boy or girl should leave
school until he has boon well in-
structed on these points.
THE RETIRED TEACHER.
A large numbor of school
teachers never marry. This is
not any reflection on thoir
worth or attractiveness. It is
more of a commentary on the
limited wisdom of many mon
who fail to appreciate the capa-
city of these women for loyal
and affectionate relations.
One fourth of the teachers
have taught as much as 20 years
and perhaps the great majority
of this fraction will never
marry.. When the time of their
retirement comos many aro left
in a hard position. On their
small salaries they have rarely
been able to save much money.
This hard plight of tho retired
teacher is one consideration that
doters many young women from
entering this cnlling.
Many cities now provide
pensions for teachers having
long terms of service. If tho
community wants to attract tho
best typo of talent into this
vocation it must in some way
make it possible for the teacher
to attain a comfortnbel position
for her later years.
Not merely a big movement
toward co-operative marketing
but in some places farmers are
going in for co-operative buying.
It is doubtful if this accomplish-
es so much for country towns.
If carried on to any large ex-
tent it would hurt local mer-
chants. If you take trade away
from home merchants in order
to savo the retail profit you in-
jure one of the principal ele-
ments in the business advance
of the community. You can't
put your homo town ahead
without good stores. You may
seem to get a profit by buying
direct from some wholesaler.
But a profit gained at tho ex-
pense of a local entcrpprise is
not good as it looks.
Some people treat their homo
ball team similiar to tho way
they do other folks stand by
them as long as they win but
when they make a mistake it's
all off.
Excqssivo rains are reported
in the Thorndale Bcction during
the paot week doing damage to
not only crops but bridges
SAYS SIN MAKES
MEN PROFANE.
In his sermon tho other night
at San Antonio Rev Mr. Moore
the evangelist used ns his text
James 1:15 "Then when lust
hath conceived it bringcth forth
sin. And sin when it is finish-
ed bringeth denth." The Bible
represents sin as a crime again-
st God and something that is
poisonous and deadly to tho soul.
It blights and withers all the
finer attributes of the soul like
a severe frost kills tho blooming
flowers" said Rev. Moore.
"Sin has one staple product
which is Month." Doath to our
hotter natures. Doath to our
noble ambitions and ideals.
Death to our fondest hopes and
highest dreams. But sin has
many by-products. It turned
Paradise intp a graveyard and
forever barred tho gates with an
angel with the uplifted two-
edged sword of God's justice.
"Sin in your heart makes you
big mon curse and profane ydur
God's holy name. The man who
'cusses' is the about the com-
monest fellow I know. When
the drunkard drinks he gels the
whiskey; when tho gambler
I plays he wins or loses ; when the
l libertine indulges he satisfies
i his animal nature; but the
devil does not even promise men
that curse any reward. You
get nothing but the contempt
of all decent people. If I wore
you and couldn't quit swearing
I would take an old hound dog
a hundred miles from any mor-
tal and tie him to a mosquito
bush and swear at him and
curse him until he would howl
at me ; than T would kill him for
howling nt such a dunce.
"Every time you sin you stab
your sconscionce. Indeed you
finally murder your bettor
nature if you willfully sin and
do not repent. You murder
your character. Sin will steal
all your manhood and rob you
of the last spark of love and
hope you hnvc. When you sin
you rob your body of health and
lifo. Tho child of the drunkard
and tho gambler is born with n
millstone about his neck. Give
up sin tonight and flee to Jesus
Christ as your Savior."
ADVERTISING BY
FAR.MERS.
Farmers do not always realize
how much of thoir product they
might sell at their own door to
people who como in automobiles.
In those times when so many
people are driving around the
country a lot of them will head
toward the road whore some live
advertising farmer is offering
his goods.
I At a recont agricultural con
ference F. M. Jcnke of Acton
Mass. said he had spent $100 in
rdverllsing his fruit and as a
result had had more trade come
in automobiles than ho could
supply. Ho had a favorable
laifimfmn tnintv lnAnfml fiUrtiit
25 miles from Boston. Never-
theless in any locality whore
automobiles nro freoly used
people will drive to places where
bargains in farm products aro
offered.
Recent figures show that 33
per cent of tho automobiles now
in use nro owned in rural ' dis-
tricts. Farmers own more of
them any other class of people.
Nearly every farm farnily will
scon have its car and in that
way will be in closo touch with
its market town and with tho
educational and social institu-
tions of town life. This not
merely makes lifo in tho rural
districts more attractive but it
makes it possible to modernize
rural industry. Tho old time
fanning country wns held back
bythe isolation of its separate
units. When every fanner has
an automobile so they can move
around and see each other you
can organize them so as to get
co-operativo results.
"Tho daily press is full of sen-
sational stuff. It may be good
news to warped minds but it is
not wholesome news. Murder
cases divorce and illicit lovo
cases sprawl all over the first
page of the big dailies promin-
ently and attractively headlined.
Newspaper criticism of the
movies is throwing stones when
living in glass houses. Why
not chunk tho nasty 3tuff into
tho ash can column? Playing
up of the records of crime is not
going to lessen crimo; it never
did and never will."

SCHOOL SUPERIN-
TENDENT DECLARES
IMMORALITY INCREASING.
Cleveland Ohio April 7. In
a report read to tho child wel-
fare dopartmont of the Cleve-
land Federation of Woman's
Clubs R. G. Jones superintend-
ent of schools said immorality
is the greatest menace of the
public schools today and that
the nation is fast drifting
toward free love b e c n u s e
mothers are not making good on
the jobs. Dancing in Cleveland
schools will be barred ontirely
unless it is conducted as a
wiiuiusuiuu jjiuiiisiuu mm uniui-
tainmont for school pupils ho
announced.
"Indifference on the part of
parents toward the activities of
their children is one of tho great-
est problems in immorality."
Mr. Jones' report continued
"It is up to the women and
mothers to sot higher standards
of morality and homo life.
Unless there is a greater feeling
of morality I fear tho com-
munity and nation will embrace'
free love."
The situation in Cleveland
high schools Superintendent
Jones was particularly aggra-
vated by the extreme dressing
on tho part of many girls by
joy riders in nutomobiles and by
"closo" dancing at school par-
ties. "Too many young people aro
dressing beyond their means.
Silk hosiery lownecked waists
short skirts rouge and powder
should bo taboo for school girls"
the report read.
