AROMA OF FRIED CHICKEN
COMES OFF ROAST BEEF

about the grounds and in the church
awaiting the call.
"Um-m-m," a delegate in one group
said. Doesn't that fried chicken
smell good:'
you must be a lay delegate" de-
clarcd a delegate who bore the an
dcniable marks Of the clergy. That's
not chicken YOU smell. I don't know
what it is--but it ISN'T chicken
Il believe it's roast beef" declared
V. NJ. West, of San Antonio. an old
cattleman. who has been delegate to
every conference since 1879.
Huh, you can't fool me - came
from both sides of the chicken-cow
question. the ministers almost as n
unit declaring it was not chicken and
the others declaring it was.
Finally the call came from Mrs.
W. ii. Chambers, chairman Of the
kitchen, and the large tent contain
ing three long tables were filled. Incl
dentally, the delegates soon were in the
same condition.
The clerical delegates won the arcu-
ment.
The menu consisted of roast beef,
brown gravy. mashed potatoes. string
beans. Waldorf salad, apple pie, cof-
fec. cite.
That's fine. anyway, even il n lot
of us were fooled" one delegate was
heard to say. That beef's tender as
chicken and this is just the food We
need for work this kind of weather.

u. S. FINANCIAL LEADERS
WORK FOR LOVE OF LABOR
BY B. c. FORBES

"If ! were you, ] wouldn't work
very hard. I'll tell you," said a wage
Garner, a personal friend.
"You would ike to be loafer?" l
asked.
He kind Of gulped, 'No-o; I don't
mean that l would like to be loafer
altogether. But / would take life
blamed easy. / think you're fool for
working as much as you do. Why in
thunder do you do it? You're there"
81 work a lot because / would
rather work than loaf. And how long
do YOU imagine any fellow who has
gotten there would stay there after he
stopped working hard?' / asked.
well. know that if / had money
you wouldn't find me doing much
work."
Isn't it true that a great many
people feel exactly the same as my
friend? Isn't it true that many look
upon work as the worst curse in the
world? Isn't it true that many think
of work simply as means for making
money?
Now, it were foolish to say that
among our towering business and fl
nancial leaders there aren't any whose
sole motive. whose sole ambition is to
pile up money. could rattle over a
list who are utterly mercenary, who
think only of acquiring more and more
money. and who find satisfaction in
nothing else.
But. though you may not believe it,
far more Of our real leaders find their
greatest joy, not so much in adding to
their millions ms in accomplishing
things which they regard as worth
accomplishing.
/ recently ran into August Heck

builder and philanthropist, whom l
had not seen in two or three years.
When / remarked that he had been
very active, he remarked, "Yes, fair
ly so. i hope that 1 have been able
to be helpful" This veteran entire
preneur finds joy in constructive
achievements and in giving away
money for worthy purposes.
But old men are not the only ones
who work for the love of doing things.

FINISH ARGUMENTS
IN SAMUD|0 TRIAL

Arguments in the case of Victor
Samudio, on trial in Ninety-fourth
District Court on charge of the
murder of Mariana Tarin, were COM
pletcd Thursday. A verdict is ex-
pectcd before Thursday night.
Testimony was completed Wednes-
day, the courts charge was prepared
and the first arguments heard.
Tarin was shot at his ranch near
Elmendorff as he went to investigate
when he heard dogs barking, it was
claimed by the state. Brothers Of the
dead man said they were fired upon
when they tried to halt several men
who were approaching a hidden still
on the ranch.
Self defense is the plea Of Samudio.
He claims he and three other men
were walking through pasture when
they heard a demand to halt. They
were then fired upon and returned the
fire, it was claimed.
