TEXAS GUINAN GIVES THE LITTLE
GIRL FROM THE FARM A BIG HAND
WINNERS ANNOUNCED IN
POPPY ESSAY CONTEST
(Continued from Pint Pase)
New York Night Club Queen Ad
vises People to Stay In the
Country.
"Why, even the call of Broadway
came from the farm 'Hey! Hey!' "
says Texas Guinan. "I'm a ranch
product myself and certainly can
teach farmers how to sow wild oats.
Of course" and she winked "I ca
ter to the gentleman farmer.
"You hear a lot about farm re
lief these days.
"The only thing anybody read in
the MeNary-Haugen bill was the
part about farm relief.
"It's the farmer who puts the
president in the chair. No class of
people approaches the farmer in in
fluence." Texas Guinan is the most dazz
ling spectacle in all New York, the
most talked of woman in the world
today, perhaps because she symbol
izes the gay elements of city life as
does no one else.
Originator of the phrase, "Hello,
sucker," which is the form of her
greeting to night club patrons, and
"Give the Little Girl A Hand" her
bid for applause she has fascinat
ed all Manhattan by her personality.
And yet Texas Guinan, the great
est whoopee artist of them all, of
ten thinks longingly of the farm.
In an exclusive interview with a
representative of the Autocaster
News Service, she told of her early
life on a ranch near Waco, Texas, a
ranch of tremendous proportions,
"unpaid for until the time I left it"
"Just get me somebody" she
leaned forward "with a lot of
dough and a nice farm already paid
for and invite me to go there and
rest oh baby!
"On the farm people make their
own laws. But I guess they'd keep
an eye on me on the farm too. They
would better.
"I've been made the football of
the prohibition law, you know and
I've never had a drink in my life.
"It's easy to be a good girl on the
farm but you've got to be a good
girl in the city to get away with It!
"It's great to live on a farm if
you can afford to.- tVhat with ra
dios and telephones, and all the rest
of it, a farm's a country home now.
"When I was out in the great op
en spaces we had no such conven
iences. '
"In those days people wanted to
cut away from the farm on account
of lonliness today on the farm you
can hear ball games, inauguration
ceremonies and everything . you
want over the radio and have a bet
ter time than you would have on
the scene.
"In my mail I get thousands of
letters from kids saying 'I've got
talent' If they all came to the city
there wouldn't be enough room to
hold 'em.
"If the person intending to leave
the farm saw written before her a
record of what she had to do and
the hard knocks she would have to
experience before succeeding, not
One in one thousand would have the
nerve to chance it
"Of course I've trained a lot of
kids who came to me from the farm
and are now married to millionaires
but for every one who makes a big
hit hundreds are disappointed.
"The farm is the hearth of the
American home.
"I know people who come from
farms who can never wait to get
back to them. And say, it's wonder
ful to drive in your own farm gates
see the well cultivated ground
the fine home that's all paid for,
and say: 'Gee, I'm glad to get away
from the fflty mess.' Farms aren't
uncomfortable any more. People
go to them to recuperate from ill
ness.
"There's got to. be somebody on
the farm for everybody out of it,
and it's just as great to work on the
farm as it is to be in the swim of
things In the city."
Oregon Snowfall Lightest
Recorded In Many Years
"Snowfall in the Columbia Drain
age Basin is below normal. On the
Cascade mountains in Oregon, some
limited areas have depths greater
than normal at moderate elevations
but as a rule this excess depth does
not apply to higher levels," stated
Jos. E. Shelton, director of the Ore
gon State Motor association, in
commenting upon Uie State High
way Commission's effort to open
McKenzie Pass.
Mr. Shelton stated further that
the snows of the past winter have
been unusual in that little rain has
fallen with the snow and the usual
winter thaws have failed to occur,
consequently there has been little
packing of the snow except by its
own weight The usual icy layers
encountered at various places in
the snow are also missing and the
snow is characterized as light hav
ing a moisture content far below
the usual snow of this time of the
year.
In commenting upon the possibil
ity of spring floods, Mr. Shelton
quoted from a recent statement of
Edw. L. Wells, meteorologist of
Portland, as follows: "The five
month period May to September in
elusive was the driest of record for
Oregon. The soil was therefore dry
when snow began to accumulate in
the mountains. Relatively dry
weather continued through the fall,
winter and early spring; every
month from May to March inclu
sive had deficient precipitation, the
total deficiency being about 31 of
the normal. The winter was char
acterized by persistent low temper
ature, and most of the mountain
precipitation was snow; the spring
has thus far been backward. In the
mountain areas the greater part of
the winter snowfall remains on the
ground. As a result of these con
ditions snow at moderate elevations
is somewhat deeper than usual at
this date but at high levels it is not
so deep; conditions are favorable
for rapid melting when warm
weather sets in and for rapid ab
sorption by the soil. Streams have
been low through the winter and
the maximum flow from melting
snow is expected to be below normal.
"Popples Bring Joy to Our Soldiers"
One day Mr. Le Trace, a very kind
man and poor, was sitting in bis
bed watching the beautiful sun, and
the blue sky. He was wondering
how his dear wife and child were.
He was thinking if only he were
there to help her and her sweet lit
tle Betty. A tear rolled down his
pale cheek making it quite wet.
When suddenly the door opened.
He wiped the tears from his eyes,
and looked around. Standing in
the door-way was the nurse with
letter in her hand.
He noticed something else wrap
ped in a newspaper. The nurse
gave it to him. As he looked at the
pagkage he saw this, "To Father
from Betty Le Trace." He looked
up to smile at the nurse but she
was gone. So smiling, a tear splash
ed on the paper and he opened the
package. ,
In the package was a beautiful
flower, the poppy. He smiled as
he saw it for he know it made him
happy. For two or three months
the poppy grew. But the soldier
was passing away sowly, while the
poppy smiled at him and seemed
to be saying, "Don't be sorry for
your child, and wife. They will fol
low, you some day." tVhen the dear
soldier was in his grave, his daugh
ter put this on his tombstone:
He told me he liked poppies best.
I did not understand,
For roses then and violets
Were blooming in the land.
He told me he liked poppies best.
Then one day while I stood
Beside the trees of Belleau Wood.
I saw the poppies stir,
All radiant wet with dew.
I thought of him who died in
France,
And I love the poppies, too.

Results of Thinking
Benefits from never wasting anything
are clearly emphasized if, we, a as scient
ist would, think about the matter, consider
our condition and possibilities of "arriv
ing" if we are prudent.
Just notice how people who save reg
ularly do succeed.
