Dancing. Fighting and Almost Freezing, By Art Dalmolin and Jim Bywater

"I have many memories of growing up in the country," said Jim Bywater. Art Dalmolin remembered, "Doan, Clara and Jim Bywater and I and others used to go to the dance at Fitzgerald's in Miami, also at Cowboy Johnnie's." Jim said, "We gave a dance in the old schoolhouse in Dripping Springs, which ended in a bad fight." Art added, "The fight was over me asking for a donation to pay for the music from Globe. ( I was working for the Wills Syndicate mine working underground for 50 cents an hour.) This woman, when I asked her for a donation, hit me in the face with a bottle of Cream of Kentucky whisky, and the fight was on. We worked them over in good fashion. We fought five and I had blood coming out of my right ear. Arnold Johnson said, "I was ready to help, but you seemed to handle it quite well." Jim continued, "After we got all healed up we would still ride almost every day and evening. Another memory is when we got lost up on the Mogollon Rim. It was snowing and mighty cold. A ranger came by and took us back to our camp. Bud Rogers had stayed in camp and had a big pot of beans cooked up. We ate the whole pot of beans. That was the best beans we had ever eaten. We were glad Bud had stayed in camp and cooked the beans."

Lost A Boy, By Rocky Miller

Not kidnapped by bandits and hidden in a cave to weep and starve and raise a nation to frenzied searching.Were that the case, one hundred thousand men would rise to the rescue if need be. Unfortunately, the losing of the lad is without any dramatic excitement, though very sad and very true... The fact is, his father lost him. Being to busy to sit with him at the fireside and answer his trivial questions during the years when fathers are the only great Heroes of the boys, he let go his hold upon him.. Yes, his mother lost him. Being much engrossed in her teas, dinners and club programs, she let the maid hear the boy say his prayers and thus her grips slipped and the boy was lost to his home. Aye, the church lost him. Being so much occupied with sermons for the wise and elderly who pay the bills, and having good care for dignity, the minister and the elders were unmindful of the human feelings of the boy in the pew and made no provision in sermon or song or manly sport for his boyishness, and so the church and many sad-hearted parents are now looking earnestly for the LOST BOY.. Do not lose your child girl or boy.... By Rocky Miller
