Blow Bowden is surely worried.
Ain’t it the devil to come to college
five years to learn how to farm and
then have oil wells blow in all over
the old place and then not have any
suitable land on which to farm ? I
say, ain’t it ?

M,it Dansby says he was introduced
to a mighty sweet girl at the dance
the other night, Esther McCulloch, I
believe he said her name was.

Aunt Mirandy says she don’t know
what the world will be making next as
she read in the paper where the wire
drawer makers had gone on a strike.

Broke A-gin.
It’s a pleasure to be able to lend
If the borrower be a worthy friend,
If he be man enough to try to repay,
Or at least appear of the allotted day
And face you squarely and meekly
grin
And frankly say, “I’m broge a-gin.”

Say, Have’ya?
Ever had a girl down for a big dance
and
Fall inlove with her ’till
You couldn’t eat, you couldn’t sleep?
And during the last dance Saturday
night
Just break down and tell her that
You loved her and have your heart
Jump up in your throat when she
Snuggled up close to you and said she
Loved you and always would.
Then when you took her home that
Night and she was just so tired and
sleepy
You felt the manly instinct to protect
And left early determined that you
Would propose on the morrow.
You didn’t go straight to your bunk
But walked in the cool night air
Alone with your thoughts.
And as you crossed the street nearly
Have a car run you down,
You looked up and saw the girl you
LOVED “late-dating” with a guy
from State ?

hat proportion of men are honest?
iswers will vary according to the
pe of person who gives the answer,
ic optimist would say that practi-
lly all men were honest. The cynic
)uld doubtless say that honest men
not exist.
From the Texas Commercial News
: learn of the origin of a vary
markable fund which furnishes
ta worthy of consideration.
Just about a hundred years ago,
me one sent five dollars to the
aasury at Washington, indicating
at it was intended to repay a simi-
r sum taken from the government
This was the beginning of what is
w known as the “conscience fund
nee that time, thousands of such
ferings have been received from
l0 ple who had in one way or anoth-
defiauded the government and v/.io
und in the end that their conscience
ould give them no rest until they
ld made restitution. The fund now
shows that over six hundred thous
and dollars have been received in this
manner by the government. The
sum ranges from a postage stamp to
the record sum of thirty thousand dol
lars.
A story which practica'Iy all col
lege men are familiar with is that
of the alumnus of a college who after
many years returned his diploma to
the presid nt of his Aim t Matec with
the st dement that he w is unworthy
of his degree for he had cheated his
way thru college relying on others
for ins itquired information
Upon considering instances simi

a small percentage of our popula

this percentage is never constant.

Economy is the very key-note of the
Purina plan of feeding.
That is the reason why Purina Chows
are made in seven Purina mills in
stead of one.
Each mill is located at a point in the
center of a farming area where in
gredients can be economically
assembled, and rations can be eco
nomically distributed to the farmer.
Each mill serves its own territory
exclusively, and each bag of Purina
Chows is laid down at the feed deal
er’s door and at the consumer’s farm
at the lowest possible cost.
As long as the Purina Mills recom
mend that all users of Purina Chows
keep exact records of their feed
cost, it is up to the Purina Mills to
be certain that Purina Chows do
lower the feed cost.

The economical distribution of Purina
Chows made possible by seven
Purina Mills is just one of the factors
which play a part in producing rations
that produce more milk, eggs, pork
and beef at less cost to the farmer.
