One Dollar a Month
We have read with much in-
terest about the man who, way
back years ago, deposited vari-
ous sums of money until he
had a nest egg of $150. Then
he let it iay there and Old-Hen
Interest sat on it from 1863
until May 20, 1918, when the
heirs took settlement and were
paid $2551.57 full settlement
of the account. There was the
original $150, and the added
INTEREST to the tune of
$2401.57. Now aint that sum-
pin? That $lJk) was certainly
working and did a nice job for
the heirs.
Here is what gets our goat.
Why didn’t Noah put a few
hundred dollars out at interest
after he brot the Ark 10 rest
on Mt. Arrarat and leave it
there for his posterity ? Had he
had such foresight, and his
bank had paid off like a slot
machine, we could have paid
off the National debt, bot the
Democratic mortgage from
Brother Raskob, paid for pro-
hibition enforcement, taken a
trip to Geneva to see the Lea-
gue of Nations function, put
up a monument to the memory,
of Carrie Nation, and had some
funds left to help fight this
Tom Mooney case out in Cali-
fornia.
Interest is a great little
Worker. It’s much like an ant;
you can’t see^that it is doing
much at any one time —but
When the aggregate is seen you
have something to amaze. In-
asmuch as Noah failed to do
the thing we have suggested
above it behooves some of us
to do it now. The world is not
going to blow-up right away1 so
if we would have cur weil being
in mind, or the well being of
our children, or our childrens-
children, it would be wise to
lay1 aside some coin from week
to week or month to month for
future years. It is said that
advice is cheap, but here is
some that is valuable, even tho
inexpensive.
There’s sure going to be a
grand turnout of folks in Car-
rollton Saturday night. Crozier
advertises the opening of his
Barbecue Stand in the Hughes
building and tells us he is going
to give free ice cream and free
drinks.1 Oh Boy, but there will
be a crowd.

Retnrns to California Home
After Pleasant Visit
Aubrey1 Shipman of Los An-
geles, Cal., whom we mention-
ed last week as visiting in Dal-
las with his sister, started on
the return trip to his Califor-
nia home Tuesday of this week.
He had a most pleasant visit
here, even tho it was short, it
always being a pleasure to be
with old-time friends for a re-
newal of acquaintance and re-
calling of the days gone by and
the glorious times had.
Mr. Shipman made the trip
by auto with several compan-
ions, who could also drive the
car and relieve him when con-
venience called for it. The
party left Los Angeles on a
Tuesday evening at 5 o’clock
and drove all night. They ar-
rived in Dallas Friday evening
at 5 o'clock. He tells us that
most of the road is paved and
that a good highway exists all
the way. There is in Arizona
some fifty miles yet to pave,
tut it is good road even now.
An overland trip of this kind
is fine to make as one can
r;ally see the country when
not occupied with the task of
driving, and there is much to
fascinate, even on the desert
stretches of Arizona, on a trip
from Texas to California.
Mr. Shipman is a valued sub-
scriber of this paper as he calls
Carrollton home and likes to
keep in touch with her and her
people. When here he was
employed by Dr. Burnett in
the drug business and so Aub-
rey knows all of the Carrollton
people and a perusal of the
paper is a visit with home
folks.
Announce Revival
The freeze did not get ail the
fruit in this section. We have
seen trees with many peaches
on them, and some pear trees
are well supplied with fruit.
We do not know whether or
not you are preparing for egg
needs next winter or not1, but
you should be raising a few
chickens this summer.
Dale Densmore of Dallas is
staying here with his uncle, S.
L. Densmore, while he is in
charge of the Magnolia Filling
Station.

met in a monthly social Mon-
day in the home of Mrs. Berry-

Mrs. Vandergriff gave a
brief report on the Missionary
Conference held in Sulphur
Springs last week. Her report
was very interesting. Mrs.
Godfrey was ill and could not
give her report but will prob-
ably give it next Monday.
There were other good num-
bers on the program. Two
clever posters were used to
show where our money goes
home and foreign. Mrs. Van-

Will Patronize Printers
No more government stamp-
ed envelopes will be used by
the East Texas Chamber of
Commerce, according to an-
nouncement of Hubert M. Har-
rison, general manager, at
Longview, Texas. In the fu-
ture envelopes used by the
organization in its work are to
be purchased from East Texas
printers.
“Many business concerns, in-
cluding our own, have fallen
into the habit of purchasing
stamped envelopes from the
post office because it is a little
easier and in some cases prob-
ably a little cheaper than buy-
ing from printers. However,
when we consider that we are
compelled to help pay the enor-
mous deficit in the post office
department, the small saving
which we may think we are
getting by using the govern-
ment as a printing office dis-
appears. Our organization is
opposed to the government
invading the fields of private
business and it would be incon-
sistent with this policy to buy
government enyelopes and de-
prive our printers of this busi-
ness.”

Requests Candidate Hurt
• A request that his support-
ers refrain from tacking politi-
cal posters on telephone and
telegraph poles and in places
where they would be unsightly
is beiqg made by Robert L.
Hurt, candidate for district at-
torney.
Mr. Hurt explained that
every two years enthusiastic
supporters of county and state
candidates make political pic-
ture galleries of city streets
and country roads and that it
is hard for the man running
for an important office to pre-
vent his friends from doing it.
“That’s why I am making the
request early,” he said.
“Most municipalities have
ordinances against tacking
posters in public places, but
that is the
eye-sore they make, and cer-
tainly they add nothing artistic

Inspection Tour Gives
Practical Education
Students from the Seventh
Grade of Carrollton Schools
under guidance of their teach-
er, Miss Bliss Means, and ac-
companied by Mrs. Bob Patter-
son made a visit last Wednes-
day to numerous places in Dal-
las to get first hand informa-
tion regarding transaction of
court business, making of a
metropolitan newspaper, mak-
ing candy, county jail and
modern office buildings. They!
were carried to Dallas by Jake
Gravley in the school bus.
Their first visit was to the
95th Judicial District Court
presided over by Royall L,
Watkins. A civil suit was in
progress and they saw the
court working as is.
The mechanical portion of
the Dallas News was visited
and newspaper making on a
large scale witnessed; setting
of type on the linotype mach-
ines, stereotyping of the pages
preparatory to printing, the
big presses and the actual
printing of the paper.
Next in order was to see Dal-
las from the high Magnolia
building. On the top of this
structure they could see Dallas
as it spread out in all di-
rections.
Brown Candy & Cracker
Company plant was visited and
here they not only saw the
making of the sweets but were
allowed to fill themselves with
the product. My, that was
some visit.
The County Jail came next
and here they saw the nu-
merous prisoners held for var-
ious reasons; for a crime deter-
rent this should have been
worth while and we hope none
of those who were on this visit
shall needs be held in this
structure.
