The Mt. Clemens News Bu
resn, alias Henry Ford, is beg
ging the weekly papers of the
country to carry his propaganda
advertising in his suit against
the Chicago Tribune for libel.
The Times thinks about as little
of the Tribune as it |>ossibly can,
but Mr. Ford is going to pay for
all the advertising lie gets in
this newspaper, whether political
propaganda, Ford cars or trac
tors.
Old J. Pluvius has been doing
a very poor job of distributing
the rain in Texas this spring.
In the Deport country we have
had some very dry, hot weather
for the past two weeks, and late
corn is badly in need of moisture,
some of it already beginning to
fire up. Down at Beeville, a
newspaper reports that it has
rained six days out of the first
nine iA July, and sunshine is
wanted.
The Paris News of Sunday
has a story about a dispute con-
cerning the routing of the Choc
taw Trail from Paris to Cooper.
We wonder where they get that
stuff? The Choctaw Trail enters
Lamar County at Arthur City on
the north, thence to Paris, Pat
tonville. Deport, Rugby, Bogata,
John town and Mt. Pleasant.
From that place it takes a cou rse
due south. The News either has
the name of the highway balled
up, or the Lake Creek disputants
are talking through their hats.
President Wilson has vetoed
the agricultural appropriation
bill, which also carried the re-
peal of the daylight saving law’.
An attempt will be made to re
pass it over his veto. The Times
knows nothing of the merits of
the agricultural appropriation
bill, but the daylight saving law
isa misnomer. It saves nothing
and is not being observed -by
most of the rural districts of the
country. It is on a par with
passing a law to regulate the
sun. We predict the sun will,
as it has for the past ’steen thou
sand years, come forth in the
morning and sink in the west in
the evening. No daylight saving
legislation is needed for the man
who can look at the sun, sneeze
a time or two and tell whether
dinner is oif the table or not.
The house lacked eight votes
of mustering the necessary two
thirds majority to override the
president’s veto on Monday of
the day light saying bill.
The Dyer and Slack barber
shop has been undergoing exten
sive repairs. The interior has
been repapered and enameled,
linoleum covers the floor, and
running water has been piped to
the building.
MIm Lola Nobles left Thurs-
day morning for a visit with
friends at Midland.
Miss Ruth Msrtin of Honey
Grove, strived Wednesday for s
visit with her cousin, MIm Bra
Magill.
Miaaes Reecy Bell and Chloe
Williams were guests last week
end of Miss Dortby Fisher, at
Detroit.
Mrs. Gussie Nobles left Thurs-
day to spend a month with her
mother, Mrs. S. A. Lassiter, at
Hamlin. “
Mrs. Bettle Morgan left Thurs-
day morning for a visit with her
daughter, Mrs. W. M. Jeffus, at
Plainview, and her nieces, the
Mesdames Finley, at Abilene.
George Porterfield went to
Clarksville Wednesday to see
Ids brother, Marvin, who arrived
Tuesday from France.
The Baptist meeting conduct-
ed by Rev. J. E. Peaden at Ful-
bright, came to a close last Sun-
day night. There was one con-
version.
W. T. Furgerson has been
quite sick, and has suffered in-
tense pain for the past fifteen
days. He seiiously ruptured
himself while lifting much
weight.
Trinity University at Waxa
hachie, has conferred the degree
of Doctor of Divinity on Rev.
R E. Joiner, a former pastor of
the Deport Presbyterian Church,
and a brother to Mrs. C. E
Binnion of this city.
Thirteen automobiles contain
ing about sixty-five Deport citi
zens went to Terry lake for a
fish fry Wednesday. Fishermen
had gone to the lake Tuesday to
prepare for the visitors. Plenty
of fish with other eats, and boat-
ing and bathing were enjoyed.
There will be a Christian meet-
ing begin at Mt. Pleasant Satur-
day night, the 19th. Meeting
will be held under an Arbor.
Bio. A. E Walker of Cleburne,
will do the preaching. The en-
tire public is invited to attend.
The erection of the derrick for
the test well near Brooksum has
been completed and the engine
and boiler will be set as soon as
they arrive. It will be nearly a
month, however, before the com-
pany can get to drilling.—Paris
News.
Mrs. N. D. Webb entertained
twenty-four young people on her
lawn Monday evening in honor
of the birthdays of her daughter,
Miss Eliza, and her nephew,
John Webb. Lunch was spread,
and a very enjoyable time is re-
ported.
Arthur Webster of Minter,
was in Deport Monday and called
at The Times office. He had a
cotton boll with iiim that was
about two-thirds grown. He
reiiorts bottom land cotton fine,
and that that section will make
a good corn crop.
The oil well being drilled be-
tween Sulphur and Mt. Pleasant,
has been shut down in order to
permit the drillers to put in
more casing. The well has
reached a depth of 3,000 feet.—
Clarksville Times.
Two local citizens of Detroit
have purchased a first class elec
trie power plant, which is now
enroute to that place. It is suf-
ficiently large to care for the
needs of the entire town. It ap
pears that Mr. Bryant failed to
make connection.
A marriage license has been
issued to Mr. Phillip Archie
Wright and Miss Dixie Izora
Martin. The young man has
not informed his people of any
of his plans, but last, week fur-
nished a house on his father’s
farm north of Deport. We un-
derstand the young lady’s home
is at Fulbright, and that she has
been teaching school near Clarks-
ville.

George Porterfield lost a milk
cow one day last week. He of
fered the city scavenger the

without chargte. The man who

the cow would have sold for
twenty years ago.

It'd h. tl to "minister to a MIND

minister to a diseased BODY; to
supply the remedial needs of
"the Inner man”—and the Inner
WOMAN.
Most everybody Is, more or less,
constipated and frequently bilious.
Neglect of these conditions ia dan-
gerous—foolish and useless.
The "Inner works” of the human
body are so complicated that they
easily get out of order; and when
inythlng’s the matter with any of
THEM, there’s going to be trouble
with the whole physical machinery
of life.

■■■^■Started!
The Mustang Oil & Gas Company has started de- /
velopment. We are now building a real up-to-date
water supply pool near our fii^t location, where we will
erect a derrick within a very short time and drill for
oil. Will also start drilling on our 25 acres in Wichita
county soon. We have a two shot proposition.
’ Don’t let some of the “knockers”
tell you we lUive a “wild cat”
deal. Our Wichita county acre-
age is in PROVEN territory.
However, the most of our capital will be spent in
developing Lamar and Red River counties, and are
sure this will mean more to us here than all the devel-
opment in any other oil field. When you spend your
money at home it is kept at home, and benefits people
at home. When you send your money to far away oil
fields for people to spend that you know nothing about,
no wonder you don’t get returns on your investment.
You never will.
If you are going to buy oil stock,
buy from people YOU KNOW,
and help build up Your Country.
We are offering this stock for sale now, and for
the sole purpose of development. We are not just try-
ing to make money selling you oil stock. We are going
to spend 75 per cent of it in Lamar and Red River
counties, where it will really mean something to every
man woman and child in both counties.
We will soon have salesmen, who will call on you.
In the meantime see
Tom Jeffus at First State Bank, or
L. E. Layne, at Office next door.
Either of these gentlemen will take pleasure in explain-
ing to you the reason why you should buy Mustang Oil
stock.

are the only denomination own-
ing an interest in it.
