THE OLD AND NEW CONTRASTED
The Deadly Parallel Showing Municipal improvements

Lest we forget and count the
old things better than the new
Street Commissioner Cole occa-
ssonally iDyokes the aid of the
camera to present the exact con-
ditions before and after improve
-ments are made. This plan was
very efficient in regard to street
and sidewalk distractions, over
bead signs, etc, and with the
gift to see ourselves as others
see us came the removal of pre-
judice, selfish interest, signs and
other hii ORANGES to municipal
improvement. And the surprise
now is that the old conditions
prevailed SO long.

show the before and after
conditions at the municipal
building on Speedwell avenue.
When the work started there
was lot of opposition to it,
But the work went on and
all will admit that it a vast
improvement. The crucial
test came on trolley day when
the street took care of the
traffic as we'll as the large
crowd of people. Now there
are no complaints and we are
all cultivating a pardonable
pride in our town hall.

TIE PLAIN CITIZEN

What a world of meaning there
is In this. The plain citizen. He
is the fellow who Is content to do
the things that his hands find TO
do and taking each day for its
face value. He is the fellow who
is not lead from the straight and
narrow way by the glittering
promises of greatness. He is the
fellow who realizes his mission on
earth and is content to be what
nature intended he should be.
The plain citizen is the fellow
who shoulders the responsibilities
of life and goes ahead each day
with his tasks and is content to
let conscience dictate his methods
AS a rule he has faith in his fell
lows and it is a great pleasure as
well as a great prihlege to meet
with him.
At this stage Of the game we
are not apt to find many of the
plain citizen stamp and in this
we are apt to look away and be-
yond his plainess and CONT him
a Jewel of the first water.
The transformations man seems
a bit out of place in these times
of hustle and hustle. He is apt
to be overlooked until his form is
missed and then it is too late to
pay him his just due of homage
for his kind.

The snow this week coming as
it did on top of all the good rains
of the past few months, puts this
country in al condition far as sea
sons are concerned. This insures
the farmers sufficient moisture to
plow their ground good this win
ter, and have it in fine shape for
the planting season. The farmers
Of this section are going TO take
advantage of this great oppor-
tunity too, and the results will be
plainly seen next year, when they
begin to harvest the bumper
crops.

be jealousy guarded that it
might continue in this faith with
the increase of years.
The first lessons IN faith must
come from the association with
its parents. AS they train the
minds of the little ones in like
manner Will its faith reach out
and grasp other impressions.
Religion is more essential
than gold. Religion is the only
hope of the perpetuity Of this
nation. Taking this as an ac-
cepted fact it would seem that
the duties Of the parent would
sink deep into their minds and
we would have a better citizen
ship throughout the length and
bredth of the land.
The faith of a child is a beau
tful a holy reality. We must
not lose sight Of this fact if we
are DESTROYS of having the little
ones remain sweet and pure
during their journey from the
cradle to the grave. One of the
most effectual ways of accom-
plshing this is to cultivate the
friendship of the child and
teach them that they can have
faith without any of its sad
ayakenings. To do this we,
who are parents, must lead the
way. The faith of a child can
be made to blossom into a
boundless faith, as enduring as
all eternity. Ponder upon this
thought.

Shaflcr Lake Herald. Many Of
our old timers predicted a hard
winter and so far their prcdic-
tons have been verified. But
there is one consolation connect
ed with this we usually have a
good crop year following "A Sc
we're winter. Winter SHOWS and
and rains fill the soil with mois-
ture which lasts into the spring
months and aids in starting crops
while hard freezes destroy the
troublesome insects. Thus we
see a hard winter has its advan-
tages as well as disadvantages.
1t has been a beautiful winter.
In the Panhandle the snow has
fortified the young wheat; in
north Texas the frosts and freez-
es have inconvenience the boil
weevils and the green bugs, and
all over the state the keen, steady
cold has been the handmaiden of
the hog-killers. The people OF
Texas never faced a new year
with more confidence or with
brighter prospects for bountifuI

THE FAITH OF A CHILD

Could we older people have the
same degree of faith as is evil
denced in the child mind, how
delightful it would be for each of
us, in this old world of many and
varied emotions.
A recognition Of this faith is
found in the claim that "a little
child shall lead them" Simple
faith in the will of Him who
guards and guides the destiny of
men and nations, is the one great
boon to mankind. Those capa-
BILE of this faith are happy all
the way.
Childhood's feeting hours are
the most sublime Of all earth's
many pleasing emotions. The
love. faith and friendship of
children draws mankind to a
closer relationship with the best
of all that is good and pure. 1T
were better that a mill stone
were fastened around their neck
and they cast into the sea than
to offend one of these littl e
ones" is a strong appeal for the
protection of the child. If par
ents could only realize the great
responsibility resting on them in
the rearing of their offsprings,
they would indeed be careful
in their department toward
them.

because a poor fellow has com
mitted some kind of crime that
he is no better than a dun brute

and the contention of some people
that the freeman has no right tC
demand that the prisoners of the

unreasonable. In some cases
men who are imprisoned are not
