THE WEATHER.
(Contributed.)

(Contributed)
Weather conditions in Texas have
been out of the ordinary this winter.
According to the report of the local
observer for Bryan, November brought
us but four fair days. The continued
fall rains did enormous damage to un-
harvested crops in the field, especially
to the cotton. But the climax was
reached in early December, when un-
precedented floods came down and
spread ruin, devastation and death
through our rich river valleys. The
disaster covered our fair land as with
a black pail.
The flood waters slowly abated; bui
cloudy days and generally disagree
able, ugly weather held on. Then
came the Christmas holidays, bringing
still such weather as gave little oppor-
tunity for celebrating that joyous
event, even if our people had had any
n6dTl lot ltSllNllfto.
Now, we usually have our worst
weather in January. But behold! The
new year has brought us such an I'M
expected burst of glorious weather as
to make every living thing exult in the
very Joy of living. 1t seems that Ma
ture as if anxious to repay us for all
the wrongs and ills of the past, is just
bathing the whole earth in food OF
sunshine and wrapping 1t in an at
mosphere of healing balm. Every day
of the new year has been as separate
golden coin, or may ! rather say,
priceless shining pearl, dropped down
into our hands with such a larrf
generosity as to make us ashamed
that we ever should have felt that
Nature owed us anything or had ever
withheld from us aught of good Or,
if | may be allowed to change the
figure, this spell of glorious weather
following close in the wake of cloud,
and storm, and food, might well re-
mind us of a child that in the midst
of towering rage Of grief and anger,
suddenly bursts into sweet laughter,
with undried tears on smiling face.
Each day for some ten days now,
God has repeated before our wonder
ing, that finest of all His miracles
perfect day. Each new morning red
dening in the east has indeed recreat-
ed the whole earth; each noon the

heavens have been as one vast bowl
of molten gold upturned above us;
each evening, half way up to the
zenith the sky has been luminous with
a liquid beauty; each night has been
thick sown with stars that looked
down in infinite peace upon us. For
all this let us be profoundly thankful.
Let us take the good gift from the
generous hand of the Giver; let us
turn our backs to the past, our faces
to the future, and with a prayer of
gratitude in our hearts and song of
faith and hope on our lips, let us go
forward into a glad, strong new year.

SCHOOL HOUSE A SOCIAL CENTER


Fathers, mothers, boys and girls,
teachers. all, young and old alike,
should come together often in the
common cause of community welfare.
THE school house becomes the nat.
ural place for social gatherings, for
musical entertainments, for neighbor-
hood meetings of every nature that
will make life more enjoyable. At the
community school house we can take
off our political, religious and society
coats, and become shirt-sleeve work
ers for democracy, inspired by sense
of comradeship and true civic spirit.
One of the happiest signs in this cen
fury of discomfort is that society at
last not only gives the affirmative an
swer to the question, Am i my broth
er's Keeper but is also adding, And
/ am my brothers helper F" Are you
doing your share? AS parent do
you visit the school; do you confer
with the teacher on how to make the
school more efficient and useful in the
community? Do you attend the meet
ings of the school board? Do you go
out to public meetings and take a
part in the discussion of improved
methods of farming or of some local
tax issue? Do you do your part all
along the line that connects you with
your neighborhood life?
The one thing that commands re.
spect, insures progress and promo
ton, which secures unfailing rewards
in the world today, is efficiency. Keen
competition, the increased cost of liv
ing, larger problems, more complex
conditions confront us, and we must
meet them intelligently, that is, eff
GENTLY.
And what is efficiency? One man
says; Being able to hold your job"
another, 1T means to make good.
That it means and more-efficienc
involves not merely the doing OF GER
tain kind of work and doing it well,
but the development of all the powers
of the individual so that growth and
progress are made possible. We must
avoid and destroy things which pre-
vent this growth and this living at
our best; things that render us less
prepared for the work demanded of
us, not only for the reason that we
must answer for them some distant
Judgment day, but because we answer
for them every day of our lives in
terms of discomfort. ignorance, power.

AS with the individual so it is with /

The question every individual and
every community must ask is, What

Let me give you gentlemen a few
facts on population. The census of

Mississippi: Whites, 1911, or 43.7
per cent negroes, 1,009,4S7, or 56.2
per cent; total 1,795,59S. Tests show
that the negro travel amounts in num-
Der of passengers to about rs per cent,
but as they are in nearly all cases
short riders that is travel only short
distances, the revenue from this class
Of travellers is not more than Is per
cent of the total passenger earnings.
Take the population per square
mile of three northern states, and COM
pare them with Mississippi. We find
the statistics as follows:
New York 1911 persons, Massachus.

persons, Mississippi 1877 persons.

ut Will be seen from these figures !
that so far as the average passenger
is concerned the proposed reduction
is negligible quantity. while the az

an amount sufficient to pay for large
amount Of additional and badly needed
facilities II the railroad is to continue
furnishing first class service and keep
up, with the development Of the state
along. other lines.
Tho relation between interstate
and inter state passenger traffic Is on
the N. o. & N. e. So per cent inter-
state. a per cent intrastate, from
which 1t viii be seen that little more
than one half of the total loss
Of revenue from a reduction of the
state rate will be from revenue derived
from Interstate Wavel. These percent
ages are of the number of passengers
carried one mile, and on the A. 4 v.
the relation between interstate and
intrastate are 81 per cent interstate
and SO per cent intrastate.
IN. o. & N. z. passenger train miles
operated during the year ending June
30, 1918, amounted to 1858 per cent
of total train mileage while earnings
of those trains amounted, including
! mail and express, to but % per cent
| and exclusive of mail and express to
only II per cent of the total earnings,
and on the A. G. v. passenger train
mileage amounted to 81 per cent Of
total train mileage while earnings
amounted, including mhil and express
to 81 per cent and exclusive of mai

From this it will be seen that tn
revenue from passenger traffic is no
more than fair proposition, il that
of the whole, and inasmuch as tn
