To My Fishermen
Friends
Not long since-, one of my old

Fishin’. None but genuine fishermen

pride and thank God for the gift

noble fraternity.

A feller isn’t thinkin’ mean,
Out fishin’;
His thoughts arc mostly good an’
clean,
Out fishin’;
He doesn’t knock his fellow men,
Or harbor any grudges then;
A feller’s at his finest when
Out fishin’;
The rich are comrades to the poor
Out fishin”;
All brothers of a common lure,
Out fishin’;
The urchin with the pin an’ string
Can chum with millionaire an’ king;
Vain pride is a forgotten thing,
Out fishin’;
A feller gits a chance to dream,
Out fishin’;
He learns the beauties of a stream,
Out fishin';
An’ he can wash his soul in air
That isn’t foul with selfish care.
An’ rell ; sh pla'n an’ simple fare
Out fishin’; . >-
A feller has n o time to hate,
Out fishin’;
He isn’t eager to be great,
Out fishin’;
He isn’t thinking thoughts of pelf,
Or goods stacked high upon a shelf,
But he is always just himself,
Out fishin’;
A feller’s glad to be a friend,
Out fishin’;
A helpin’ hand he’ll always lend
Out fishin’;
The brotherhood of rod an’ line,
An’ sky an’ stream is always fine;
Men come real close to God’s design,
Out fishin’;
A feller isn’t plotting schemes,
Out fishin’;
He’s only busy with his dreams,
Out fishin’;
His livery is a coat of tan;
His creed: to do the best he can;
A feller’s always mostly man.
Out fishin’;

SCHOOL NEWS
The Excelsior Literary Society of
Plum Branch School held its regular
meeting again Friday, March 16th.
The program opened with a song,
after which the roll was called.
A very humorous program was
carried out.
The first number on the program,
was a recitation or “proposal,” by
Eugenia Langley. The recitation
was followed by some jokes, by Janie
Pearle Brown. The jokes were very
good, and were enjoyed by all. Next
on the program were two mono
logues.
First, “Mistaken Indemnity,” by
Floyd Willis, and second, “Country
Bumpkins,” to the city boys, by
James King. Both of the mono
logues were resisted well, and caused
much laughter throughout the pro
gram.
Next came the debate—resolved,
that a Canary Bird is more comfort
to an old maid than a cat. On the
affirmative side for the canary bird
were Virginia Strom and Raymond
Sanders. On the negative for the
cat were Inez Bladon and E. C. Winn.
Both of the debaters were very
good, but the judges, Frances Lyon,
Wlilbur White, and Geneva Ridle-
hoover, decided thaj the affirmative
was a little the best.
“Sam’s Letter,” by Mr. Holroyd,
the professor, was very interesting.
The program on the whole was
very humorous, but interesting.
We then had the seniors report
and the society adjourned.
It will meet again Friday evening.
March 30th.

Important
Announcement
to every ow:ter of a
T Ford
ON MAY 25, 1927, when Henry Fcrd first announced his
plans for making a new car, he announced also that he would
continue to make parts for the Model T Ford. He said:
"The Model T Ford car was a pioneer. It blazed the
way for the motor industry and started the movement for
gcod roads everywhere. It broke down the barriers of
distance in rural sections, brought people in these sections
closer together, and placed education within the reach of
everyone. We are still proud of the Model T Ford. If we
were not, we would not have continued to make it so long.”
For twenty years, the Model T Ford led the automobile
industry and it still serves more people than any other auto
mobile. Over one-third of all the automobiles in use today
are Model T Fords — an indication of the sturdy worth
of the car and its value to people in all walks of life the '
world over.
•
The Ford Motor Company will continue to make re
placement parts for these cars "until the last Model T is
off the road.” That is a part of Ford service. That is what
Henry Ford meant when he said: "We believe that when a
man buys one of our cars we should keep it running for
him as long as we can and at the lowest up-keep cost.”
Because of this policy a considerable part of the Ford
manufacturing plants is given over to the making of parts
for the Model T Ford. These replacement parts are made
of the same material and in the same way as those from
which your car was originally assembled.
Make it a point, therefore, to see the nearest Ford dealer
and have him look over your Model T Ford. You may find
that a very small expenditure will enable you to get thou
sands of miles of additional service, and at the same time
protect the money you have invested in your car*

Insects Cause Big Loss
Scientists of the Department of
Agriculture recently estimated the
annual loss in the United States due
i
to insects at 10 per cent of the value
of the crops they infest. This would
amount to slightly more than $1,-
000,000,000. It is probable that
$100,000,000 is a Idw estimate of the
insect damage to livestock, and an
other $100,000,000 minimum of in
jury is inflicted on the forests. In
sect damage to clothes, carpets furn
iture, and fabrics together with loss
es due to insect activity in stored
products would probably amount to
fully $200,000,000. Economic loss fol
lows the illness of human b eings
caused by insects. The total bill is
probably not much, if any, short of
$2,00Q 000,000 a year. It would be
much greater but for the constant
warfare waged by entomologists in
directing*, and chemical manufactur
ers in supplying the munitions, and
thousands of farmers, housewives
and industrial workers in the actual
application df control measures.
