YARDS AND GARDENS GET JUDGING BOY SCOUTS ARE SHOWING NEW LIFE Folks, your mid-term or mid-sum mer Yard and Garden examination now a thing of the past. The judges were here Tuesday from Stamford and Rotan, and they came, they saw, they graded, but a grade is yet known. The Herald failed t0 meet either of the judges, therefore we cannot tell you who is to blame if you do not get the high grade you think you should have. High grades are alright and willing of prizes are fine, but pretty dean yards, velvetly lawns and lovely flowers, wherever they may he, are credits enough to the owners or observers without exception to get for work or money as a jnrize. Judges are not supposed to give out Any information, not supposed tc whose place they see, and all 4hey do is to look and compare, set -down figures 5 Th.

Yard and Garden Contest was Jtarted in Hamlin about the first of May. It nas been a success even more than the most enthuiastic could wish or expect of it. It has the backing of the Rotary Club and Lions Club, the Ladies Clubs, the Churches an 1 other organizations, and the best of all the individual members of Ham lin Homes. The Herald is saying this authority, for the Yard and Garden Contest was initiaed while the pditor was not in the city, but the contest has had our full, personal and undivided support from the very start and we are glad of it. But the matter of publicity is not all of it.

The thing that counts is the way the people respond t0 the thing they should do, even without a contest. The Yard and Garden Contest has inspired many homes, big homes, little homes and secluded homes to take pride in how things look about their places. It would be against the of the -contest, as we understand it, to make individual comment on any one's yard or garden, till the end of the several times we have been tempted to tell how such and such a place looks. What a fine garden you can see on such and such a street, how pretty the Zenias, roses and hundreds of other lovely flowers look, where formerly weeds obstructed the view. Then as you go about, look at the green lawns some of them like a velvet blanket despite the dry hot days.

In fact, there has been more lawns, flowers, and vegetables grown in Hamlin this year than ever before, regardless. But anything will grow here if it has attention, if you give it cultivation and plenty of water. When the Yard and Graden contest started the Herald made the statement that you are the winner if you even start to have a better looking town. Now, the hot summer days stretching out long and hurtful, but this is no time to quit a good thing. The persons who have given of their time and energy are not quitting just because it does not rain every week, duedfry Stay right in there and keep the flowers growing and when September comes the final examination will be given and all cards graded and reported.

You fail, even if you do not reach the top grade. In fact, the fellow who wants out of what he does in a civic enterprise, who expects gushy compliments, prizes, etc and fails to get the satisfaction of making his street and town a more atractive place in which to live misses the greatest prize. When you take a survey of your street and your town remember how much better it looks now than ten or fifteen years ago, or even one year ago. Does it pay? We say it does. mown grass, flowers, shrubbery, trees, will stimulate more ty in your thoughts and therefore create a better character within your heart.

While here Tuesday the Y'ard and Garden Contest Judges were luncheon guests of the Hamlin Lions Club. At this Luncheon appropriate music was under the direction of Prof. Crabb and the Club listened to a i number of inspiring talks by the visitors. Right here the Herald will say that the men and women who did this work for Hamlin Tuesday had a hot, weary job of it and on behalf of all concerned the Herald will say, you." Under the stimulation of Scout director W. O.

Patten from Abilene, the boys of Hamlin are showing great interest in Scout work. The clubs of Hamlin are sponsoring the Boy Movement and we may expect to hear more from the Scouts in the future than in the past. Dr. L. E.

Morgan has been selected as Scout Master. The past two weeks Mr. Patten has been training the boys as well as the Doctor. He believes in Scout training for boys and believes in every boy, and works to the end that every boy should believe in himself and the principles of scouting. Patten has given his here free and the boys and their parents especially apprciate his services.

The nervous system can scarcely be given too great need for rest and sleep are very apparent when these important measures are overlooked.

It is during rest and sleep that out parts of the nerves and nerve cells are repaired and their nervous energy restored. Our excitement and late hours injure the nervous system more than any other part of the body. It overworks the nerves and interferes with our rest The frequent attendance of moving pictures often causes nervousness and eye strain. Rest and sleep are needed to remove the poison of fatigue. Long periods of study may be relieved by play and other forms of muscular exercises.

The nervous system is helped by proper food and sufficient rest and sleep. Nerve tissue is living tissue and needs proper food for its growth and repair. Good wholesome food strengthens the nerve cells and helps to keep them active and State Health Department.

Parrish has withdrawn from the race in favor of Small and it is generally understood that Lynch Davidson will announce publicly in the near future his support of the Wellington man, the logical conclusion is that Small will carry enough weight to put him in the run off.

In fact both his own family and that of his wife are well known in Texas as pioneers and biulders.

I like his stand on prohibition, opposing as he does any change in the law; his opposition of bonding Texas for roads since he argues there is suffi cient income now to build all the roads that can be efficiently and economically built. Many of the counties are now broke because of bond issues for roads. And Mr. Small is trying to save the State from the same condition. is a family man, a protestant, and withal, a solid citizen with a business outlook that will go a long way toward making us an economical governor, one who will look to the good of our people.

J. S. Hubbard, Pastor. The young man or young lady who is being reared without parental cipline is going to be handicapped later on in life. A certain amount of stern, strict disciplin is necessary lor every individual.

If it isn't received when one is young it must come later. Discipline like the al-r phabet and the multiplication table must be taught. It is never gotten in anyother way. A young man or young woman may wheedle or bul- doze their parents but life and the world isn't swayed by any fabby sen timent. It always exacts its pounds of flesh and any parent or young person who thinks otherwise is only deceiving themselves and no one else.

ARE FISH AND MILK HARMFUL TOGETHER? The minister asked a backslider why he attend church. replied the back-slider, first time I went they poured water on me, and second time they tied me to a woman that I have had to keep ever the next time probably throw dirt on finished the minister. Because Friday seems to be the accepted fish day, I always serve it and at this time take milk off the menu as I have been told they did not go togther properly; that they would make one sick. Is there any foundation for this Beaumont. Milk and fish are not harmful com binations so long as both have been kept at the right temperture.

That both foods are easily tainted probably accounts for the belief that they prove dangerous when served simultaneously. All dishes of cream ed fish, oysters soup, lobster a la Newburg, and coursed dinners from soup, fish, and ice cream desert have from all time been eaten without dire Health Department. We are told if our enemy smites, on one cheek we are to turn the other, but there is no objection not- I ed to one giving the impression te the enemy that if he attempts any cheek smiting, he will get his block I knocked off. The highest recommendation that manufacturers seem able to give for an article is that it is foolproof. The theory heema to be that there are a I lot of fools in the world who may use the new devices.

The quality of work, not the size of the job determines the workman. We have seen a cake, a pan of a broiled steak that was as much a masterpiece as any work of art or literature..
