StephenvUe, Texas, Oct. 10, 1924.
The Bradv Standard comes forth
with a lot of sound thought in com-
menting on the long list of contribu-
tors to the Dallas News who ure so
scorching in their denunciation of
present-day politics: ‘‘About half the
contributions to the News nowadays
are from persons seeking to salve
their consciences by publicly announc-
ing their intentions of not supportnig
the Democratic nominee. Just why
these fence-jumpers should thin' 1
individual opinions of such v.
portance os to require purad
fore the readers of the News, is a
matter hard to analyze. If they feel
the necessity of quitting the Demo-
cratic party, no one is going to get
out an injunction to prevent them.
And when the November election rolls
around, the usual Democratic “brutal”
majority is going to be rolled up in
Texas in spite of all these lamenta-
tions.”

merchant carried a large stock of dry
goods, clothing, shoes and hats, he
found upon inquiry that the cithern
had purchased every article of cloth-
ing he hud on outside of San Marcos,
including his shoes, socks, suit, shirt,
underclothing, collar, tie, and hat. The
merchant asked the eitisen where he
made his money and the reply was
that he worked for it in San Marcos.
The conversation continued as fol-
lows:
‘•‘Whet** do you send your children
to school?"
“In San Marcos,” was the answer.
“Where do you have the advantages
of good streets, lights, water, medical
aid, hospital aid, churches, friends and
social advantages?” , t'
"Only in San Marcos," was the re-
ply, “And 1 think I see your point,”
said he. “You believe when a fellow
gets his living and everything else
worth while in his home town that he
ought to spend his money where he
makes it."
"Just so,” said the merchant,
“Well, I have learned a lesson,”
said the citizen. “I shall spend my
money among my home merchants
and then when I need credit, I will not
huvo to answer so many embarrassing
questions."-^San Marcos Record.

TEAMWORK FOR STEPHENVILLE
One of the rarest treats Stephen-
ville theatre patrons have had in
many a day was the “Covered Wugon”
shown last week. Perhaps a little late
in getting here, but of course impos-
sible in the smaller towns until after
ail the larger places bud had their
contracts filled. People from all parts
of this section were here to see this
wonderful picture. More especially
was the picture interesting to those
who have followed the historian's
record of hardships met by the sturdy
pioneers who braved the wilderness of
the Northwest and after years of for-
titude made it into a veritable land of
promise and prosperity. Truly a great
picture and worth while seeing. Man-
ager Donnell is to be commended on
bringing this type of entertainment to
the Majestic. He announces his next
big attractions will be “America.”

this picture there will appear as one
of the characters a former Stephen-
ville girl. Do you know her? Wait
and see.
MADE HIS MONEY HERE BUT
SPENT IT AWAY
A certain merchant of San Marcos
was approached by, a citizen a few
days ago who asked the merchant for
'credit for necessary supplied. I ’ Not-
withstanding, besides groceries, this
In every city, town and hamlet we
may find strong competition in busi-
ness, differences in politics and re-
ligion, social rivalries and personal
antagonisms—and these wil probably
always exist to a greater or less ex-
tent.
But there is one common ground
on which all should be willing to meet,
laying aside personal grievances and
prejudices—that is where the com-
mon welfare of “our town” is con-
cerned.
In other words, no matter how
much we may disagree and fight
among ourselves, we should stand up
for Stephenville against all opposition.
This sort of teamwork is what makes
a town worthwhile, insures its prog-
ress and a better understanding
among its people.
All this in view of the fact that
there are many other good towns in
this section—all neighbors of ours and
worthy of the good name they bear.
But yet. we of Stephenville, should bo
for Stephenville against all odds.
