BY RACHEL MACK.
A Good Sport-and Otherwise.


Finding the right husband may be
an awful task for a girl these days
but, take it from me, the young mar
who's in the market for a suitable
wife is up against just as serious
a proposition. In fact, you nigh,
say more serious, for woman can
outplay man 10 TO in the match.
making game when conditions are
normal.
A young fellow thinkin' seriously
of matrimony, but still in the stage OF
sweet indecision, drifts into the stu
dio today and opens up his heart for
treatment.
"I'm about to fall in love-" he
says, with one Of the sweetest girls
in the world. She's beauty and talk
about charm! Well, words can't ex-
press it. I'd climb Pixies Peak be-
fore breakfast just to win a smile
from her any morning in the year"
as she generous with these smiles.
son" l inquiries casually, not yet
having the lady's number, so to
speak.
"Sure she is," he answers, enthu-
siastically. "When a fellow wins her
approval with some thoughtful lit
tie attention she's right there with
the appreciation. 1t makes me ambi-
tious to keep on baskin' in the sun
shine, you might say, so l spend half
of my time thinking up new stunts to
please her"
"But when things 60 wrong" ]
venture, "What about the smiles"
"Well," he responds, with fallin'
countenance, That's just the trou-
Bile. When things go wrong the
smiles are missing. Helen is as quick
to show her disappointment as she
is to show her pleasure. And be-
lieve me, I'd rather meet heavy
frost in July than Helen's disgust.
When a party fizzles, she's upset,
and she doesn't try to hide it."

miscarry through Providence, and
not through carelessness. You know
that wise poet that made the remark
about the best laid plans of mice
and men often striking a snag GER

about"
you're right" he answers feeling
ly. "A fellow can't always be held
responsible for bad luck, but Helen

Too Much Cider

Would you like to sip cider all
day long? Agnes Ayers, starring in
"Cappy Ricks," says that slipping
champagne cider is one of the extras
sickening tasks.
"You have no idea how hard it is
to sit at table in cabaret scene
and sip cider by the hour" she ex-
plains. "When it is cold it is not
so bad, but when it becomes warm
it is simply awful"

PROGRESSIVE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE.

The following Is what the United
campaign for better Agriculture has
to say about the Scurry county
Chamber of Commerce.
The Spirit of both the business
man. and the farmer of the west is
ever progressive, and which many OF
our oder sections may well follow
with advantage, as shown from let
ters received by officials OF the Unit
ed Campaign for better Agriculture
from the Snyder Chamber OF Com
merce, which is putting on cam
paign for 100 chickens, four cows and
three sows on every Scurry county
farm. and from which there is eN-
pected to be derived a million and a
half dollars to Scurry county farm
ers within the next one to two years.
This is safe and sane farming and

practically make living at home
for every farmer. Money saved Is
money made, and every dollar kept
at home from these products gives
added purchasing value to the cot
ton dollar, to be expended In the
farmers home market
With approximately 10000 Tex
as farms on which there is not a
COW. and possibly an equally large
number without chickens, hogs or
home garden, all Texas would do
well to follow this lead. This year
has demonstrated that Texas is bet
ter off without all cotton. Let us
maintain and make permanent the
advantages gained by continued d.
versification.

when Senators Knox, Brandegee
and Lodge, together with some oth-
ers OF their republican confreres, met
20 deliberate concerning the League
OF Nations and treaty OF Peace. Said
the principal address was made by
Senator Lodge himself. who said TO
these Republican Senator's in sub
stance as follows:
President Wilson has brought
back from France the most import
ant State Document ever formulated
In the history OF the world. If the
senate OF the United States ratifies
this League OF Nations covenant and
treaty of peace, It Will be known,
heralded and accorded as an achieve
ment OF the Democratic party. AS
republicans we cannot allow this TO
occur. For such an instrument OF
such worldwide Importance to be
ratified and chronicaled as the
achievement OF Democratic presi-
dent and a Democratic administra-
ton. would cast blight upon the
Republican party and its future that
would keep us in the background
perhaps for years, Our only remedy
is to Kill the League OF Nations and
treaty Of peace. and in order to do
this we must eliminate President

Record Rainfall in Panama,

When 2.47 inches of rain fell in three
minutes ut Porto Bello, Panama. during
he night of November 90. 1917, 1t was
the heaviest rainfall ver recorded.
This rainfall exceeded by 100 per cent
The rate measured at Curtea de Argos,
Roumania. in July, 1889, heretofore
held to be the worlds record. says
B. c. kadel of the United States
weather bureau.
So great was the Panama rainfall
that all the conditions under which it
was measured were carefully examined,
In order that there might be no ques-
ton as to the accuracy Of the record.
It was found that the circumstances
corroborated the testimony of the re-
cording inst uments.
When II is remembered that In the
United States OBS inch of rain In
Eve minutes is considered excessive,
the magnitude of the Porto Bello down
pour can be imagined.
