TEXANS NEED A LITTLE
AWAKENING.

California is building State high
way which will run from one end OF
the State to the other. II is to be OF
concrete and will furnish a magniii-
cent driveway for motorists. Cali
fornia has upward of 10000 licensed
automobiles, and California is a State
OF desirable homes. People out there
think more of making life attractive
than they do in other parts of the
country, consequently California is at
tracing attention the world over and
is drawing homeseekers. Why doesn't
Texas make some effort to build high
ways and do other things to make
living here equally as attractive and
desirable as II is in California? We
have the soil and we have the climate,
but we lack the home pride and the
gameness to spend money for better
ments. What Texans need is little
awakening along the lines suggested
above.-State Topics.

Dear Spring, dear Spring, OF thee

anything. Thou rhymest with the
bees that sting, and with the birds
that sweetly sing; and II only takes
a moments time to build round thee
a six.inch rhyme. With Spring there
comes the rising sap, most perfect
rhyme for thunder clap, which makes
me culver in my boot when old Joye
toots his sonorous flute. With Spring
there come both bud and bloom, good
rhyming words for mud and bloom
things that we cuss almost every day
when Pluvius and wives get gay OF

rant flowers: and It's the time when
sweet birds mate and lazy men dig
much fish bait. But, to get back to
Spring itself-the whole years fair'

wing. with sting, with wiring. In fact

rhyme with anything. SO. say man

earns $1,000 per year; in forty years
the average earning period Of mans
life. he would earn $4,000
2. The average uneducated man
earns $3.50 per day for 800 days per

six Of these clubs in East Texas. hay-
ing a membership OF 10. Prior TO
her work with A. & NJ. College, Mrs.
Jackson was rural organizer for
women under the State Department

for that department she became thor
oughly acquainted with conditions on

Il find the country women eager
for such organization and ready &c
take hold and assist me in the work,
she said after the completion of hel
first tour. THE women OF Longview
Marshall and other towns are inter
ested and went with me into the coun
try. Public school officials in the
rural districts have rendered valuable
assistance also, but the most pleasing
thing have met with is the cage
acceptance of the organization on thu
part OF the country women
In the work of these organization
community spirit and pride will BE-
stimulated. Study Of questions hav
ing a direct bearing on the home, tn
public school and the rural churcl
will be undertaken and Mrs. jackson

reading courses which deal wit
these problems. Home convenienceS

as butter making, sewing, chees
making, poultry husbandry all will b
taken up in these courses.
Mrs. Jackson will work through tn
country school teachers and throug
club women, but the initiative wi
be with the farm women themselves
She says that within a few month
she expects to have many counties 1
