FURTHER RELIEF
IS NECESSARY
Will Ask Congress for 100000 and
viii Raise 100000 in
Texas.

As a result of the meeting of the
general relief committee for the flood
sufferers held in Houston Saturday

100000 is needed for extending relief
to the small land owners and tenant
farmers. This money is needed to
supply planting seed and feed for the

amount needed was based on reports
from the different counties in the
flooded area and the results tabu
lated.

Signing the Pledge

Signing the Pledge
Dear Christian Endeayorers: It is
our earnest hope that certain false
and erroneous reasonings which are
prevalent in some places may not
take away any of the force and beau
ty of pledge-signing. It's recognized
propriety is as old as the word of
God and has been sanctioned by
law. and good people ever since But
certain false teachers creep in un-
awares to make even this time-hon-
orei scriptural method of no effect.
Signing the pledge is simply a
note made legal by our signature. a
deed recorded and placed on file,
| bond given under which our charac-
ter would be the forfeit, a burning
of the bridge behind us where lies
the city of destruction. Words may
vanish in the air and the one who
promises may forget, but when the
contract is legally signed the case is
different. It's legality, publicity and
uSIldi vi " VIC
have done gives it a solemn reac-
tionary force that doubles the bind
ing power and presents just the OBJ
/ ject lesson needed to others.
The woes Of the Scripture lesson
for this meeting could never have
been written if people had always
been held by a pledge and that this
bond has held many who otherwise
would have gone to ruin none can
deny Let us get every one We can
TO earnestly sign it, let us get our
state to take the pledge, and it can
not be many years till our nation
: will do the same.
Sincerely yours,

Christian Citizenship Superintendent.

never did, it is perfectly apparent
that a considerable number of the
patrons of the movies have not been

Two final examinations for rural
school graduation will be held dur
ing the year 1913-14 The first will
be held Thursday and Friday, Febru-
airy 18th and goth; the second Thurs

1t is recommended that pupils, even
though they have been successful in
the February examination, remain in
school till the close of the year if
possible.
To be eligible to enter these exam
nations pupil must, (a) have been
enrolled in school for at least six
weeks preceding the date of the
examination; OBJ must have been
during that time regularly enrolled
and classified in the eighth grade;
(c) and the teacher must, twenty

Modern HerOism.

1t is often said that the growing
scarcity of war is training people
into soft bodied shopkeepers. who
are losing the gift of physical cour-
age. The story of the Volturno
disaster is one of many indications,
showing that there are plenty of
men and women still capable of
heroic action. When those life
boats approached the illfated ship
in a violently pitching sea, the men
took all kinds of chances Of being
shipwrecked against the side of the
burning vessel.
This may be a sordid age of buy
ing and selling. But every newspa-
per brings tidings of some man who
has plunged into burning mine,
penetrated gassy sewer, dived un-
der docks, in order to rescue per-
sons in peril. The records of the
life saving service in one recent
year show 1859 persons in immi-
nent peril through shipwreck, of
whom all but y were saved by the
heroic storm fighters.
Every day people enter hospitals
with white faces and set teeth, with
little word of complaint or falter-
ing, for critical operations which
they know may be fatal. Millions
of people are carrying around with
them diseases which they know
constitute a death warrant.
People know too much about
their interior workings and face
death cheerilly for years with a
stout heart. The happy-go-lucky
doctoring of former days did not
save life SO long, but it left people
in happier unconcern about their
fate.
So modern life brings its spec
ters that are just as fearsome as
the incessant warfare of years.
That human courage still persists
is shown by such catastrophes as
the Titanic and Volturno disasters.
Cowardice appears here and there.
But probably when the much vaunt-
ed colonists of earlier days were
fighting Indians so merrily, they
left at home vast body Of polt-
rooms who had no stomach for bat
tie.

2O,OOO,OOO See the "MOvies" Daily.
In an article entitled the Menace
of The Movies" in the American
Magazine, Walter Prichard Eaton,
theatrical critic of that publication,
presents a list of interesting facts
about the extent of the moving pic
ture business in this country. The
following is an extract:
There are certainly ten thous-
and such theaters, it is said and
probably the daily attendance is
closer to twenty million than to the
five million estimated by the pro-
prietors. 1t easily could be that
many at any rate, since each theater
probably gives at least four perfor-
mances day. This means that
more than one-fifth of our entire
are patrons of the mo-
vies every day. This means that,
at ten cents an admission, we as a
nation are spending two millions of
dollars daily to witness canned
drama. No such percentage of the

county supt. of the study in which
such applicant took the examination.
Since rural school graduates ara
now admitted to the high schools ON
the basis of diplomas received as a
result of the examinations, it is very
necessary that no injustice be done
applicants. 1t is also important that
no candidate be passed who has not
completed his texts in subjects re-
quired by law. 1t would be better
if each pupil were required to review
these subjects thoroughly after COM
pleting the adopted text books. 6-2

One of the things that makes the
editor grow old and gray before his
time is the errors, typographical"
and otherwise, that get into his pa
per. He finds it out after the paper
mas been printed. Kind friends by
the dozen remind him Of it, and keen
on reminding him, until he wishes he
never saw a paper. He goes to the
linotypist. and blows him up; and
the linotypist produces the Copy
with sardonic grin and proves It
on the editor.
The Observer makes a good many
plumbers In one way and other.
Most OF te mdon't amount to any,
thing, but some are cry annoying.
For instance, it once deschibe q
brede's veal in n wedding write-up as

the society editor, who did not write
the "flism" plain enoubh. Another
time it descibed n brides wedding
dress or gown, as a 'lively" blue.
