The world seems engaged in one

situation is the economic situation
that scraps its old men.
It takes a discovery well to tart
activity in the grapevine commun-

becomes necessary to debunk oil
rumors.
In following the trails of the dog-

might do well to include the oil

Neutrality is a sweet sounding

as dead as any other nation is if it
steps on the toes of a big brute and
refuses to do its bidding.

Remember that old verse about
April showers? Well, this time it
waB April shivers. Ice, hoar frost
and a bitterly cold wind made last
week end something to remember.
If Dave Taylor’s wife ever wants
a divorce from Dave, she won’t
want for grounds to get it on. Ac-
cording to Dave’s own statement,
he left his home in the Martin com-
munity one cold morning last week
and came to Deport to get warm.
He says he told Madam Taylor that
she didn’t build as good fires as De-
port businessmen built them. That’s
a high compliment to the Deport
Community Club, which has been
urging a warmer welcome to peo-
ple coming to Deport.
The economyites don’t have a
Chinaman’s chance in Congress. No
sooner than a cut in expenditures
is voted than along comes the spend-
ers with a bill of many millions
more that wipes out the economic
cut, and it is passed overwhelming-
ly. Evidently, economy is not what
the congressmen want. They have
scratched it out of their vocabulary.
Although hundreds of boats be-
longing to neutral nations have
been sunk during the European
war, the most remarkable fact is
that not one American boat has
gone down. A mighty good reason
why we can and will stay out of
the war. The next good reason why
we will stay out is that Congress is
one hundred percent against get-
ting mixed up in the mess.

one of his ideas for a tax plan and
has warned another candidate that
he will take legal steps to enforce
the copyright laws. If the scheme
works, maybe it will be an induce-

new plaforms. Heretofore most Of
the uncopyrighted ideas have gone
to the wastebasket after the elec-
tion.

MONDAY—British troops land at
undisclosed Norwegian ports. Mili-
tary experts, admitting British suc-

Sharp engagements were reported

n - For Saturday, April 20
One would naturally think the
conservative spirit of Vice Presid-
ent John Garner would pervade the
atmosphere and all things that
breathe of it in Detroit, home town
of his boyhood. Such, however, is
not the case. Last Sunday a com-
panion and I were walking along
one of the red sandy streets of De-
troit when I perceived a large dog
on the porch of a house to my right
eyeing us in a hungry and inhos-
pitable manner. Not wishing to in-
terrupt or alarm my companion,
who was talking away at top speed,
I did a bit of silent deduction. I
was on the right-hand side of the
road and nearest the dog—not so
good for me. The dog was natur-
ally conservative, because Detroit
was conservative, and it being con-
servative, it would go either to the
middle or the right—worse for me.
The thing for me to do, I reasoned,
was to move at once to the other
side of the street and let this con-
servative dog follow his conserva-
tive bent. This being the logical
thing to do, I did it, putting my
companion between myself and the
dog and the middle of the road be-
tween myself and my companion.
This being done, I proceeded to re-
light my pipe and await develop-
ments. I did not have long to wait.
Scarcely a moment had passed be-
fore I sensed a rush, heard a roar
and felt something heavy and hard
hit me from behind. That fool dog
had come clear across the road to at-
tack on the left, proving itself to
be a radical. Will someone please

His home, is ^typical American,
West Texas home, studded with live
oak trees. Reminds one of “peace-
ful heaven.” No guards, no sen-
tinels, no orderlies, no watchmen,
no pretense, no splendor, nor any-
thing elaborate to scare anyone—
just plain, peaceful, an American
home where many birds, singing
their thanks, I imagine, praising
God for their happy home. I felt
the tears come, because here we
were, plain American citizens, be-
ing received by the vice president
of this most glorious nation, with-
out any formality at all.
Surely we pray God for His
blessings, to have bestowed upon^
us so great a fortune as being Am-
erican Citizens!
From Russell Guest, Clarksville
cousin of John Garner and ardent
campaigner in behalf of his presi-
dential nomination, comes this tri-
bute written by Geo. A. Haddad of
Shreveport, La.:

Texas Stands Behind
John Garner
Texas State Democratic
Executive Committee gave a
ringing endorsement to the
presidential as-
pirations of John
Garner, despite
some protests
which were not
warranted.
Mr. Garner is
of high ability
and probity. He
john gakner has won great
distinction. He aspires to the
presidency. Above all, he is a
Texan. He has a right to go to
the national convention with
the solid backing of his state,
just as every other state’s fa-
vorite son may have a right to
expect his state’s support.
This implies no party split,
no discrediting of President'
Roosevelt or anybody else. |
It is just pro-Garner, that’s I:
all. Entirely proper. gi
