Hal Kohn." The Stale reports this interesting Lit of conversation: "In a Columbia hotel lobby The State listened as two men?perhaps they ure legislatorstalked of public finance. "The mesa makes me sick," said one of the talkers. "We've got to do something." "Why?" asked the other man. "Well, if we don't do something, there'll be a crisis." "Maybe that's what wo need." said the second man. "So long as we can scheme along and temporize there never will be much Improvement. But if wo come face to face with a crisis, maybe, we'll adopt a program that will guide us for years to come." There's something to the second man's point of view. As long as the Legislature Is ablo to contrive make-shifts, a great many people will be perfectly satisfied. There is a large element that bellevos In putting off the evil day as long as possible, and If they personally can only manage to avoid the showdown, all's well and good The more conservatives and more sensible group, believe, of course that today's the day of salvation. and think things sufficiently bad right now to call foy tb9 surgeon's knife A crisis, as suggested, might , serve to bring many of our people to a proper realization of bow perilously near the Stale Is to the danger point. ?

Tongue rolling Is not easy, something like simultaneously patting your head with one hand and rubbing your stomach with the other* The Idea Is to determine whether both Individuals In a pair of Identicals can do It, or Just one, or neither, and perhaps why. Doctor ltlfe and Dr. Iva Cox Oardner of Baylor are testing a theory that such abilities are hereditary. Meanwhile Casslus and Claudius, twin goals from the farm of President Pat M.

Well, I for one. and I believe many others wish to thank Mr l*?e Little and his staff for affording us much pleasure by giving such a pleasing variety of subjects. and also a very comfortable place In which to see them One reads about some places having so much trouble deciding on what kind of a schedule to give "movie" patrons. Double features, which I am not in favor of as a steady diet, or what have you? I believe that our manager. Mr Little, has solved this problem by his variety, Inasmuch that one may see and hear something of Interest, during the afternoon or evening. And cne Is always treated with kindness and consideration by those In attendance. So although, I am a trifle late, many happy returns for our "Little Movie House." With best wishes and good luck to Its manager r\ o^ner, Lee Little and bis staff.

NOW LIVE IN WILOLIFE REFUQE (By I ,ud w lg Camluita, Jr., In Our Dumb Animals) Today there are only about 250 real Texas longhorn cattle in existence, (hough in the days preceding the Civil War these cattle ranged from the Oulf of Mexico to the Canadian border. The largest herd of these pic-J turesque plains' animals la at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, near Cache, Oklahoma, where 145 loiighorns roam the lush pastures of the Bureau of Biological Survey saiiotuary. Kighteeen of the animals are on the Fort Niobrara Qame Preserve, near Moiese, Mont., and the others are In private ownership. The story of the longhoru was recalled once more when word was recently received that "Butteroup," a 20-year-old cow, mother of 18 members of the present Wichita herd went to Valhulla where ull longhorns go. Umo survivor of the original Texas longhorns brought to the Wlchltq Refuge in August, 1927, is "Old Red." a gaunt, feeble cow more than 20 years old. "Old Red" Is the last of 30 longhorns brought to the area when It was administered by the Forest Service. John Button, of the Forest Service, and tlie late Will Barnes, one-time cowman, author and public official, traveled more than 5,000 miles and examined more than 30,000 head of Texas cattle before they collected a herd of suitable specimens of the longhoru type. Longhorns are hardy, active animals, with sharp-pointed horns and an aggressive disposition. Their color ranges from black, brindle, dun, spottod, buckskin, roan, red, and white to various combinations of these colors. Coarse hairs about the forehead and In the ears, and a fish-shaped prominence of the bone along the top of the rump, just back of a line across the hip bones, are special characteristics. A longhorn usually reaches rafRiplty In two or throe years and may keep growing until seven or eight years old. As long as the animal grows, the horns continue growing. On record are horns that spread six, seven and even eight foet from tip to tip. r Old-timers who recall the days of the Chtaholm trail, the Goodnight Ranch/and the longhorn roundups of the old Southwest, remember when great herds were driven many miles to railroad terminals for shipment to the Fast. The longhorn was king of the plains?pushing back the buffalo and the Indian. From 1521, when the first cattle were brought to American shores by Gregorio Villalobos, until after the Civil War, the longhorns reigned on the Texas ranches. Then the breed began to disappear as Hindu, or Brahma. cattle were introduced and crossed with the longhorns because Brahma were resistant to mosquitoes, flies, and the dread Texas-fever tick. Now only some 250 longhorns are left. "Old Red," a reminder of a great era in American history, waits for the final moment?not on a ranch bustling with activity, hut on a quiet -refuge of the Biological Survey. Though her descendants may never rule the plains again, at least they will be maintained for future generations to see and remember. Mrs. Sallie Watson Dies At Kershaw Kershaw. April 11. ?

Young Minister Ordained At Antioch lu the person of Brother Hoy Neal of Kershaw the Morlah Association has seut out another minister of the Gospel. I'he Center Grove Baptist church, near Kershaw, called for AU examination of the candidate ou jjhe night of March 29. Hev. T. L. Ulraer, Heath Spriugs, was named Moderator of tho Counoll, and Hev. Davis M. Banders was elected secretary. After a full and fair examination of Broth" er Neal concerning the generally ao* cepted doctrines of the New Testament uud his Christian experience, the Council recommended that the church proceed with his ordination. The ordination service was held in the Antioch Baptist church, nearj Camden, of which Brother Neal is the recently chosen pastor, Bunday afternoon, March 31. The sermon was preached by Rev. T. L. Ulmer who delivered a thoughtful sermon. Rev. J. T. Outen read the scripture. The charge to the church and to the young pastor was given by Rev. B. A. Davis. The Bible from the Center Grove church was presented by pastor Ulmer. The ordaining prayer was | made by Rev. J. M. Neal, father of the young minister. Of great significance and especial 1 Interest was the ordaining prayer. As the white-haired veteran of the cross htood in prayer 'beside the kneeling young son and preacher, deep sentiment surged through the souls oNthe congregation. As many will testify, a more beloved citizen is not to be found in all this seotion than Rev. J. M. Neal. As pastor of churches in this vicinity, v he has rendered conscientious and valuable service to the Kingdom. On ?>ecenvber 1, 1939, Brother Neal retired from the active ministry after having served the | Thorn Hill Baptist church for a period of twenty-seven years. It was not I surprising that one of his sons should hear the call of the Christ and follow lu the footsteps of his venerable father. * The young Brother Neal is beginning his pastorate with enthusiasm and with energetic endeavor. His host of friends here wish for him the crowning success of the He^gpfbly [Father and confidently expect him to be of great service to the Kingdom. He is making his home at Kershaw, and is available for service by other churches in this section on the second aiud fourth Sundays.?I^ancaeter News.
