NEW woODB1NE INDUSTRY.

Woodbine, "a, March 20.-The an
nouncement Of y. L. Hupp and F. W.
Barrett, of Ozark, Mo, that they have
incorporated the Bsyer Valley Sand
and Gravel company, with capital
stock Of $4,000, means another i'm
portant industry for Woodbre.
The company owns HE land south
Of town, where the sand pit is located.
1t has leased more surrounding it,
making ninety three acres in all that
will be worked
A spur will be ran to TIE pit from
the Northwestern tracks and other i'm
provements will be made. Later on,
probably next yea, factory for the
manufacture of all kinds of concrete
units will be erected at cost of at
least $4,000.
MIR. Hupp has made study of the
sand and gravel business in western
Iowa and finds that this is the larg-
est accessible deposit in this section.
The new company has closed the
contract to furnish the sand and gray
Ell for the paving in Woodbine this

A PORTABLE GROCERY

Can you think Of anything nicer
than having grocery store roll softs
ly up to the eurbing near your house
and not having to dress all up to 60
out to see what you want?
Instead Of having stores located all
around at various places, the Hour
Service Grocery company has big
trucks that will come to the corner
Of the blocks and sell their wares di-
rect to the buyer.
The outside of these trucks will be
lined with glass, SO that housewives
can see what they want from the
curbing. Tho trucks will 60 by an
advertised schedule, and stop at each
corner at q certain time and give a
signal, 30 that people will know when
to expect them. They carry a COM
plete line Of groceries, fresh meats,
poultry, fish oysters, butter and eggs.
Each truck will be equipped with a
complete refrigerator system. The
name "Hour Service" is significant,
as the trucks will remain at each
corner half an hour. giving everyone
time to make their purchases. and
then move on to the next corner.
There will be no stores in the Hour
Service Grocery company system, no
rents to pay, no managers or extra
clerk hire. They plan to sell grocer
les at great reduction in price, due
to the cut Of these expenses. Then,
too, there is no waste such as having
groceries spoil on their hands. The
trucks carry only a small amount of
each article, and when they sell out
of any one thing, all they have to do
is phone the warehouse and have q
service car replenish their need

A man may be born genius, but
if he will not exert himself he can
achieve little.
Laziness is fatal to success.
History claims few instances where
siuggards have risen TO the top.
All worthwhile results are achieved
by effort, usually by painstaking, per-
sistent, unsparing effort
The lazy person lets things slide
And when things are left to slide,
they slide down hill.
Laziness is a quality inherent in
human nature.
Ignorance usually is consequence
of laziness.
And ignorance leads not to success
hit to failure.
Mental laziness is more common
perhaps than physical laziness.
1t is not hard to go on doing things
which require no mental exertion and
little bodily effort.
But hard, earnest, sustained men,
tai comfort is beyond the sluggard.
Laziaess acts on one as drug.
1t tightens its grip upon one silent
ly, stealthily, but, in course of time,
fatally
1t can always find excuses for it
self.
Poverty is one of the commonest
fruits of laziness.
The path of laziness is the straight
est of all paths to want and woe.
To combat it, cultivate healthy
body and sound mind, and once you
doggedly try you will be surprised
how much more fun there is in doing
things than in doing nc .hing.-Forbes
Magazine.

/ PIN PORTRAIT or JESUS

From the dust Of more than 1900
years of studious modern Roman has
rescued pen portrait Of Jesus Christ.
1t was drawn in one of the letters
that Publius Lentulus. who was
Roman pro-consul in Palestine, and
knew the Savior in Nazareth, wrote
to friend in Italy.
"There has appeared here a man
Of strange virtue" Publius Lentilus
wrote. "His disciples call Him The
Son of God He cures the sick and
raises the dead to life. He is very
handsome man and worthy Of all our
attention. His hair is blond and covers
his shoulders in separate curls and
is parted in the middle, after the
fashion of the people of Nazareth.
His forehead is smooth and serene
without marks or wrinkles; his coun-
tenance is pink; his nose is well form
ed; his beard, of the same color as
hair, is parted in the middle.
'In his gaze is an expression of
wisdom and of openess; his eyes are
blue, but shine terribly when he re-
proves his people; but in conversation
they are amiable. His observations
are expressed with liveliness, although
he always remains calm. Nobody
has ever seen him laugh; but he often
weeps OF good height and straight
figure. He has very beautiful hands
end arms. His manner off speaking
is serious. He speaks but little, and
is modest. In short he is as handsome
as a man may be. They call Him
Jesus, the Son of Mary"
Expert antiquarans and students
of history pronounce the letters of
Publius Lentulus to be entirely gen.
u.ne. For centuries they were for
gotten save by students of Latin and
ancient Rome. The advent of Christ
mas brought the letter quoted to the
mind of an old professor in Rome.
He translated it into modern Italian
and sent it to some Of his learned
friends as historical curiosity. It
seems to verify the belief that the
Savior had fair complexion and
light hair, as many old artists depict
ed Him.-New York World

CAMP PIKE COMES
 ON SPECIAL TRAIN
GRID CLASH AT HENDRIX
Overseas Army Champions to Stage Big DOings at Game Saturday
 with Local Team.

With the third division team, cham pions of the army of occupation, in town tomorrow accompanied by about 900 rooters who will make the trip on Ia special train from Camp Pike, foot ball will regain the front row seat neglected since the memorable Hen drlXOuachita game last November. Soldiers with few civilians will com pose the contingent of rooters from the camp and will be bent on a holi- day, the chief feature wished being the scalp of the Bulldogs to add to army trophies gathered in the United States, France and Germany.
 Coach Gilbert and the division squad will reach Conway in the morn ing on the regular train from Little Rock, due here at 9 o'clock. The special will leave Camp Pike at 1 p. m., and arrive here about 2:30 to de- part at 6:30.
 The Bulldogs as they will face the Pikers will be about the strongest line up local fans will see except the Cen tenary College game early in Novem- Der. Jeff Farris will have his old place at quarter under interpretation of rules which will permit him to play against non-association teams. Cap tain Joe Coleman may be in for a part of the game, other injured Bulldogs, with the exception of Fred Scott, likely will be in harness. There is no discounting the quality of the foe, and the team as a whole realizes that stiff battling is just ahead.
 Third division has a football record to be regarded with pride. Its team successfully defeated other divisions in the army of occupation and held the grid title until the return to Amer ica. This seasons program is a big one, and next Saturday at Camp Pike will have probably it's feature tussle. The sixth division from Camp Fun ston was oue of the overseas outfits 10 he trimmed by the third, and Sat urday's game will as q consequence be bitterly contested. Later in the year, the third will start it's trans continental sw.Hg first playing Camp Dix on the Polo Grounds. New York, before crossing the continent to play Camp Lewis at Seattle. Wash.
 Although the eleven possibly does not equal its wartime strength Coach Gilbert has a strong collection of ex- college and university stars mixed with army recruits trained at Camp Pike. The team is swinging into ac- tion for the first time this season, but has spent a strenuous time in prepar- ation.

RED CROSS ACTIVE
 IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits 8 community fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad wreck or tornado-the American Red Cross can be depended upon to follow right at its heels with help for the stricken people. Red Cross relief is almost immediately forthcoming-food, clothing, shelter and funds; doctors, nurses and special workers with long experience in handling similar trouble elsewhere.
 During the last year, ending June 30, there was an average of four disasters a month in the United States. One hundred and fifty communities In twenty states suffered. The largest and most destructive of these were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi, Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama. Georgia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
 In these events of horror $50 per sons were killed, 1900 were Injured, 13,000 were made homeless, about 3O,. GOO families needed help, the property loss was nearly $100,0o0.000 and al most s1,000,000 in relief funds, not in- cluding emergency supplies was ex- pended
 To the sufferers from all disasters dtring the year, the American Red Cross sent S120,oO0 worth of sup plies, no Red Cross nurses and seven special relief trains. To meet the needs of the stricken, the organizat ton set up ten relief stations, operated thirty food canteens and as many emergency hospitals. One hundred and twenty-five Red Cross chapters gave disaster relief service.
 If disaster ever strikes this town or county, the citizens can be absolutely sure the Red Cross will be right on hand to help them in every way.

SNAKEVILLE REALLY
 SNAKE METROPOLIS
lRv Enitea p-essl


 SnakoFlIle, Tex, Oct. l5.-This is a city with the population running into the thousands. Yet there are no traffic cops. no street cars, no paved streets, no movies. l. is an American city, vet few of the thousands of in- habitants speak English-in fact, few of hem talk at all.
 Snakeyille is all the name indicates and some more, too. The residents of this unique city include all breeds and varieties of snakes. Snakeville today has housing capacity of 1S,- GOO snakes. The buildings are sub- stantial concrete structures.
 Additional to snakes, 5000 parrots claim this their home while monkeys, tigers, lions, bears, wildcats, lizards, giraffes and other Southern types of wild animals wander through special forests and are living here without paying taxes.
 William King, called the Snake King rules this re-organized jungle He's getting rich selling the animals to zoos all over the world. This spring he he shipped carload of snakes to Osaka, Japan. Princess Raja, vaude- villianess, has bought her snakes of King for the last ten years All cir cuses look over this allotment of the latest styles in snakes and animals before buying.
 Snakeville was organized from a ten dollar bill. More than twenty years ago Bill King, just finishing a third rambling tour of the world de- cided to settle down. Being a natur- alist by instinct, he decided to be- come one by profession. Borrowing ten dollars he purchased box of bull snakes from a Mexican at Brownville, Tex. An eastern newspaper gave him the address of a collector of snakes. And the idea for a replanted wilder ness was born.
 All of Kings snakes and animals come from Mexico. He has IT. buying stations in the southern republic, with agents collecting the finest speci- ments to be found At first King was his own scout, taking lonely trips into the mountain regions of Mexico for animals.
 Snakeville is within the jurisdiction of the city of Brownsville. It has become one of the show places of bor- der tourists.
