PREPARATIONS FOR First
Glass Citizenship -. In our
preparations to take our places
with other citizens of the
world; to share in the privil-
eyes and opportunities guaran-
teed to us, it is well that we
remember and take into con-
sideration the following words
by DR.. Charles E. Jefferson,
made many years ago: THE
FAULT-FINDING HABIT is a
bad one. 1t is easily acquired
and not readily broken. We
live in an imperfect world. Ev-
erything is flawed and defec-
tive. Institutions all blunder
and fall short of the ideal. Per-
sons are all erring creatures
and their faults give us Of
fense, but one should not pay
too much attention to the
faults of others, or to the de-
fects of the world in which he
lives. He may become a chro-
mic fault-finder, and in that
case he will become a grumb-
Ter. If he is not careful, he will
degenerate into a growler. If
he growls long enough, he will
become a cynic, of no account,
either to himself or to anyone
else. He is a nuisance and a
stumbling block. He did not in
tend at the start to become a
cynic. He began to finding
fault, and the habit grew on
him until his mind became
twisted and his heart sour"
Yes, the Habit of FAULT-Find-
ing is dangerous habit
that we, in our preparations
to attain for ourselves and our
posterity, a BETTER and Full
LER LIFE, have NO TIME in
which to engage Christ
said, Judge not, that We be
not judged Cast out the
beam out of thine own eye
and then shall thou see clear
ly to cast out the mote of thy
brothers eye"

Asked what his plans were,
the 39-year-old former mer-

I'll ship out again in the mer-
chant marine-maybe out Of

decent job-impossible. About

1860, but the State Supreme
Court ordered a new trial. The

An original verdict Of suicide

Chairman Mcclellan, Demo-

not understand how Estes could
receive more than 5000 acres
of cotton allotments with the
Texas State Committee being

years on the State committee
and Is months as chairman,

search holds promise of less
costly and more efficient COM
munications between contin-
entS. The report was written
before the successful launch
