So long Andy! See you In September We sometimes say that we can not explain some person's sudden death from "heart failure" He appeared to be in robust health We get the idea that his heart has tricked him by stopping The truth is (if the truth were known) that the men had no end of warnings: from his faulty ticker which he failed to heed "What if she does imagine herself in love with a poor boy? Love! Huh! A dream that passes and from which you wake up with a headache if you married a man who can't give you even the ordinary comforts of life and who makes of you nothing but a domestic servant without even a servant's wages Not much romance in cooking and wgsbing and baby-tending and trying to make every dollar do the work of five and living with a man who is grouchy and grumpy and hard to get along with because he is Just as hard-driven as you are poor thing Respect for the Dead In learning of the service rendered by other communities in keeping their graveyards completely attractive with adequate driveways and constant attention to high grass and weeds and accumulations that tend to mar the beauty of these sacred areas we are reminded of the fact that in Shreveport there I an unpardonable lack of attention of -this sort The city owns two cemeteries that have been in use many years In them are buried many citizens who had important part in the community's development Many others who of course had lesser parts to play in municipal activities are also among the occupants of the sacred burial plots Private citizens in many instances keep their properties in the graveyard attractive but in other instances these properties are sadly neglected Certain service is carried on by those in charge of the cemeteries but there is much that can not be accomplished because of the limited means and inadequate official consideration For what is being done countless citizens having loved ones buried in the graveyards are grateful but they can not but feel that much more should be done toward the improvement of these hallowed 1)laces There should be more driveways and better driveways for in rainy seasons some of these traffic lanes now are virtually impassable causing relatives and Mends bitter distress and inconvenience In conneco lion with the burial services There should be more attention to high grass and weeds throughout the cemeteries In other words every property in the cemeteries should be kept clean and attractive The city should provide sufficient- means and facilities for this service It is done elsewhere and there is no excuse for it not being done in Shreveport It is respect due the dead This is offered somewhat as a suggestion to candidates in the coming municipal campaign also as a suggestion to the -public generally Although some persons may not now have loved ones in burial places eventually they will have that bitter experience and they too will wish to join in the demand that the municipality give the resting places of the dead proper attention I 1 I a a a Are we to have another war in order to provide some kind of use for the new battleships the nations are building?

He'll be a liar pop said and ma said That's what I'm afraid of Just before I arived there he had knocked over a vase that be had been forbidden to touch and shattered it beyond recall and Gladdis was trying to make him admit his gilt but Willie stubbernly kept insisting that a little blue berd had flown in the window and upset the vase and flown out again At ferst I thawt it was a poetic way of confessing and I said No it was little blue berd with glasses and then Gladdis almost at the other end of her patience told him he could take the alternative of telling the truth or getting a good slapping and Willie admitted it wasn't a berd ma said Victory pop said and ma said Well not quite he admitted it wasn't a berd but be said it was a big giant who had stepped rite into the room from the street with one step That was an ideal moment for the slap pop said and ma said That's just what Gladdis gave him and Willie said it was exactly the same thing he had done to the giant and in fact that was what had made the giant angry and made him brake the vase Now Willyum what can we do with a child like that? ma said Buy him a dozen vases pop said And meanwhile will you pass me that vase of red roses? he said Meeing the dish of stew tomatoes Wich ma did new and more destructive type of boll weevil is reported to have been discovered in Arizona Quick Watson the Paris Green! An Indiana court assigned 21 lawyers to defend six alleged killers which ought to insure at least three hangings out of the bunch Icebergs are reported on the increase but so far as we have been able to discover they haven't done anything toward cooling off an overheated world NeedWe Say More? You perfectly priceless old thing! I'm frightfully bucked at the signs that one sees The jolly old sap in the topping old trees The priceless old lilac and that sort of rot It jolly well cheers a chap up does it not? It's so fearfully bright So amazingly right And one feels as one feels when one gets rather tight There's a tang in the ar If you know what I mean And the grass as it were Is so frightfully green We shall soon have the jolly old bee on the wing the Jolly Old London Observer New York has many pleasant memories of the recent visit of the battleship fleets and not the least of these is the recollection of pay rolls that were spent The next time we marvel over some intricate piece of machinery with all its shiny gadgets It might be well that we recall that within our own bodies we have a motor which is many times greater In and many times more economical In upkeep We might also consider having it Inspected once In a often at least as we have our automobile order that it may run as long as possible It ought to be worth that-much consideration for Ws the only motor we svill ever have In our personal chassis It is the custom to goad at these mothers "with their little horde of maxims preaching down a daughter's heart" as the poet says but surely they are pathetic rather than sordid because they speak out of such bitter disillusion and they are so frantically tryIng to save the girls who are the very core of their hearts from the hardships they have been through And just because these mothers have felt that poverty blighted their own marriage3 they have come to believe that plenty will insure the success of their daughters' But this is a mistake One of the things that money is powerless to buy is a happy marriage A woman's heart can ache just as intolerably under velvet as it can under homespun She can be as homeless in a palace as if she had no roof to cover her head She can sit down every day at a banquet and yet starve for love and affection She can spend her time rushing from place to place seeking pleasure and yet be bored to death She can have everything that money can buy and yet have nothing that feeds her soul or that brings her peace and contentment What most of us addition to being useful-Z--is to enjoy happiness How can we? Having crossed the halt-century mark and having mingled intimately with both high and low rich and poor I am convinced that happiness depends more upon one's disposition than one's possessions more upon' one's mental slant an life than on money Some of the happiest people I have ever known were poor in this worlds gear Some of the most miserable and pitiable specimens have been millionaires and multi-millionaires But I have encountered many unhappy individuals in very modest circumstances and also many happy j2ersons among the wealthy Charles M- Schwab for example was happy when a whistling stagecoach driver and has been sunny and happy during many years of millionaire dom James Stillman who built up the biggest bank in America and was a multimillionaire was about as lonely and unhappy a mortal as I have ever known Not long before he died he confessed to me that notwithstanding his great wealth he felt that his life had been rather a tragic failure that there was only one human in the world whom he could count upon as a staunch' loyal friend John Rockefeller has enjoyed 1 life for the last 40 years or more' John Jr takes life and his responsibilities so tremendously seriously that he hardly ever smiles When I remarked upon this contrast to John Jr he replied: "I have oftener than once said to father 'Father you are young enough to be my son and I am old enough to be your father'" Owen Young sympathizing with me a year ago on a major domestic tragedy similar to that he had experienced made the penetrating remark that one secret of happiness is "Don't expect too much from life" Many men become sore and sour because they fail to realize their I youthful dreams of becoming distinguished famous rich What unhappiness would be avoided if everybody took to heart this eminently common sense definition of success enunciated by the prest1 dent of the largest enterprise in the world Walter Gifford of Amerlcan Telephone Telegraph: "Success in life is relative In my judgment success means making the most of such ability personality and physique as you have Don't measure your success against others but against your own potentialities Never fret because somebody else has done better If you become imbued with this philosophy of life and sincerely try to do the best you can and achieve the sincere feeling that you are doing' the best you are capable of you have attained as much success as any man can attain More than that YOU will on that basis go just 1 as far as you can go" Universal suffrage was when the whole universe was made to suffer Acrimony is what

smart stuff Mice and Cricket Specialists Senator Alben Barkley of Kentucky who at the 1932 national convention in Chicago gained quite a reputation for oratory of the key-noting variety has been designated as one of the chief defenders of the New Deal during the congressional vacation In replying to attacks on the administration program by Henry Fletcher national chairman of the and Senator Daniel Hastings of Delaware the silver-tongued Kentuckian referred to them as "these mice and cricket specialists who complain that we have lost our liberties" And then he puts squarely up to these and other critics the question: "Which of the laws enacted by the late congress would you have annulled" The Republican leader Mr Fletcher having referred to Abraham Lincoln as one who stood for liberty Mr Barkley replied that "Abraham Lincoln was a 'New Dealer' of the first magnitude He was unwilling to hitch himself to a post and curse the world as it marched past him He was not afraid to plow In new ground He was not afraid to experiment And the organization which is now represented by 21r Fletcher and Mr Hastings no more resembles Abe Lincoln than the Prince of Wales represents the mahatma Gandhi" Chairman Fletcher admits the New Deal is "dramatic" but seems to forget that what went before was pure tragedy From 1920 to 1932 during which period the Republican party was in control of government big business sat at the head of the table and ran the government of the United States The people wanted a change They demanded to be rid of this kind of rule and they got what they a New Deal They may not be entirely satisfied down to the last detail but the recently completed poll conducted by the Literary Digest shows that better than 3 out of 5 are for it This is an even znore decisive margin than that by which the New Deal was made possible In the election of 1932 Before the people of the United- Statei will again be willing to trust the government to Fletcher Hastings and their kind it will be necessary for the Republican party to propose something much better than they offered the country during the 12-year period of their power Just 01 kS1 BY EDGAR GUEST RESULT OF

Men's Brotherhood Bible class of the Ardis Memorial Baptist church of Bossier City for the year 1934 were again broken Sunday morning when 193 men attended the class program and services This was the highest attendance recorded by the class for the year 1934 up to date The services of the class were opened with two songs "Are We Down-hearted?" (the class song) and "Stepping in the Light" These songs were led by Hoffman Fuller with Glenn Moore playing piano Prayer was led by Peal At the present time there is an attendance contest being carried on between the Men's Brotherhood Bible class and the Triple Trianglis Men's Bible class of the First Baptist church In tonnection with I this contest it was agreed that the 1 teachers would change classes with each other twice during the contest Therefore the lecture to the Men's Brotherhood Bible class on the lesson was delivered by Sandifer teacher of the Triple Triangle Men's Bible class of the First Baptist church The subject of the lecture delivered by Mrs Sandifer was "God Cares for Elijah" and the lesson being derived therefrom being "God Cares and Commands" This was a very interesting lecture and was well prepared and delivered by Mr Sandifer The program and services of the class were presided over by Hoffman Fuller acting president of the class I I DALLAS Texas July John pundt of Dallas candidate for state railroad commissioner lay in a Victoria hospital seriously Injured funeral services for Preston Sneed 39 his publicity director were planned here today Sneed was fatally injured in an automobile accident hich injured Pundt and Eugene Smith of Austin Pundt's campaign manager A tire blowout caused their automobile to overturn Smith was burned when he rescued Sneed from the burning wreckage of the car Pundt hurled 60 feet through the air received a punctured lung several fractured ribs and cuts and bruises Physicians said he was still- in serious condition He was announced his intention to conduct his campaign from his bedside Sneed's body was brought here by plane from Victoria He was formerly manager of the Dallas municipal airport and was connected with the editorial 'department of the Dallas News and Journal for six years Before the great depression he was terrible to see In a blazing fIL of temper he'd break clubs across his knee And if he shanked a mashie shot he'd drive away the ball And tell his trembling caddie not to look for it a all In the days of easy money if he missed a stroke or two He'd give the boy his brassie saying with this I'm through!" He was always in a fury and I well recall the time He sold a set of irons and his golf bag for a dime He used to say his temper was a thing beyond control That he couldn't keep from breaking costly clubs so savA his soul But the easy times are ended and he missed a shot today And I noticed that 121 didn't let hi temper get away He didn't break his brassie and he didn't leave a ball Or tell us who were with him not to look for it at all So I've come to thlot conclusion that bad manners can be cured When ill-temper grows too costly good behavi3: is assured I For the things that make for happiness in marriage are love and understanding a companionship and congeniality and tenderness and if a woman gets these she is rich and happy no matter how simply she Iles to live no matter how hard she has to work no matter how many sacrifices she has to make And if she does not have them if she Is married to a man for whom she does not care who raises no thrill in her breast and from whose caresses she shrinks away to whom she can give only wifely duty instead of wifely devotion then is she poor Indeed no matter if he hangs her with matched pearls and decks her out like a clothes horse and feeds her on nightingales' tongues There is not enough money in the world to buy married happiness That is a gift of the gods No one ever saw a woman who married for money who even looked contented The mother who urges her daughter to marry for money forgets that the fun of money is in the making not the spending Life can give a woman no other thrill so great as she gets out of helping her husband make his fortune fighting with him shoulder to shoulder planning struggling achieving with every thought and ambition In common I have often heard the wife of one of the most famous engineers in this country say that the happiest time in her life was when she lived in a mining camp and cooked for her husband and washed his clothes Furthermore when mother tries to make her daughter give up her poor sweetheart for a rich suitor she not Infrequently makes a bad guess and backs the wrong horse For at 40 the rich boy who inherited hi st raoney has lenerallz spent t) THE LATE CHAMPION Pa Preem the man with satchel feet Was knocked around but did not bleat His foeman soaked him o'er and o'er And Primo wisely sought the floor The widespread resin to inspect And see that it was all correct Some resin doesn't meet the test To show its quality the best And so when fighting seemed a bore The good old Primo hit the floor And looked around to ascertain If resin were of purest strain And when he founcithe resin good He would investigate the wood To satisfy himself once more That no cheap timber made the floor And every time the giant rose A ton of leather smote his nose And knocked his features out of line And also telescoped his spine And made a ruin of his face And knocked his wishbone out of place And what could poor old Primo do When such a swarm of leather flew?
