No matter how careful you may be, all the
money that passes through your hands will
not “stick to your fingers.”
But really there Is uo reason why some of
it should not stick. And here Is a very good
pointer about the money you do save. It is
worth taking care of; by putting it in a good
bank like ours it will be safe until you do need
it. No matter how small the saving at the
start you will take pride in seeing the account
grow, once started.

Theprogram of the commence-
ment exercises of the gradu-
ating class of the Deport High
school,as published in last week's
Times, was carried out at the
school auditorium last Friday
evening, with the exception of
the salutatory address which
was to have been delivered by
Ray Bell. The young man took
quite ill about an hour before
the appointed time.
The essays,class poem,prophe-

all good, and the address deliv-
ered by Hon. Eugene Black of
Clarksville, was ot the highest
order.
In presenting the diplomas,
Supt. Ross Hughston expressed
his appreciation of the deport-
ment of the class and a regret
of parting with il.
Masonic Officers Elected
—— q
At the stated meeting of the
SfrUSfonic Lodge held Saturday
night, the following officers were
elected for the ensuing Masonic
year:
Ross Hughston, Worshipful
Master; Sam C. Holloway, Senior
Warden; J. S. Furgerson, Junior
Warden; V. C. Oliver, Treasurer
A. L. Stalls, Secretary; I. M.
Daniels, Tiler.
The installation will be held at
the next stated meeting, Satur-
day, June 20.
'eport was visited by the fire
demon about 1 o’clock Friday
morning when the rear of the
Plain Price Store was found to
be in flames. Before enough
people could get to town to tight
it, the tire gained great head-
way.
The chemical engine, which
has not been recharged since it
was purchased nearly two years
ago, was rolled out, but the soda
in the tanks had settled and
hardened until it would not
work.
Before a good bucket brigade
could be formed the tire had eat-
en its way through the windows
on the second floor of the post-
office building and in a short
while the- entire contents wpre
consumed. In the mean time
two bucket brigades, assisted by
about tifteen hand extinguishers
had been brought into play and
the roof of the north end of the
Nobles-Read Dry Goods Co., was
covered with wet salt. The
I south wall of the two story post-
office building fell onto the No-
bles-Read roof, caving it, in and
several persons had a very nar-
row escape.
The hole made by the falling
wall gave the tire lighters a bet
ter chance at the flames, they
working from the south roof of
the Nobles Read store.
Going north along the bricks,
the lire had burned Jno. Daniel’s
restrurant and was eating into
the oak on the Marshall building
when men from the top of the
store put it out.
The flames were fought from
1 o’clock in the morning until
d /light. While Deport has her
quota of people who will not lend
a hand on an occasion like this,
those who did work stayed with
it with the tenacity of a bull dog.
When the tire was first, discov-
ered a call vCas sent to Paris for
assistance, and the tire depart-
ment and railroad put them-
selves in readiness to respond,
when another message was sent
that the fire was under control.
This makes the third time the
-Paris- department has been
called upon, and iport mer-
chants are preparing to express
their appreciation in a substan
tial way.

Farmers Institute of Deport, is

gates to the State Farmers In
stitute which convenes at Aus

portation will be furnished free.

Priscilla Club Meets
The Priscilla Club was enter-
tained Saturday, May 22, by
Miss Inez Fagan. We were glad
to have as visitors, Miss Myrtle
Horne of Pauls Valley, Okla., and
Misses Beatrice Philley and
Monte Rea of Lone Oak. After
the usual social hour the hostess
served a dainty^ ice course, and
the club adjourned to meet Tues-
day, June 1, at the home of Miss
Leta Gray; the leader, Miss Lois
Cunningham.
Club Reporter.
One of the greatest things
that can be said of any commun-
ity is that it has a splendid pub-
lic school. This is true of De-
port. It is our candid opinion
that few of the schools in this
section equal ours and none of
them surpass it. This change
has been brought about within
the past three years and the
credit is due to Supt.
Ross Hughston, the efficient
corps of teachers that has been
employed during that time, and
the co operation of patrons.
Especially is the work in the
High School noticable. The
highest class of 1912-13 received
only one year of Latin; the class
of 1913-14 two years; the class of
1914 15 three years and next
year’s class will receive four
years.
In mathematics, the class of
1912-13 took up the study of
geometry and the class of 1914-
15 completed plain geometry.
Next years’s class will study
Solid geometry.
The eleventh grade, or gradu-
ating class, completed High
School Algebra this year. Next
year the tenth grade will com-
plete it.
In English and Literature,
this year’s tenth grade students
did the work of the - graduating
class of last year.
If tbere is money enough to
employ an additional teacher for
the term of 1915-16 the standard
of our school can be raised until
it will be recognized by the State
University as a high school of
the First Class, which, as we
understand it, would admit
graduates of the Deport High
School to enter the Freshman
class of the University without
examinations.
If an additional teacher can be
employed, domestic science and
manual training will be taught
next year.
As far as equipment is con-
cerned, Deport s school is un-
surpassed in this section of the
state, and if enough money can
|»e obtained to employ another
teacher it will mean another
feather in our cap.
Prof. Ross Hughston will be
superintendent of the school
again next year, and with a har-
monious school board 'again at
the helm,we are expecting great
things from aur school.

Good Roads News
The good roads advocates are
after a County road law similar
to that of Red River County,
which permits bonds to be voted
to the amount of 50 cents on the
$100. They realize that with the
small amount allowed under
Lamar County’s present road
law, Deport and surrounding
country could not obtain money
enough to build but a few miles
of permanent roads, and it would
have to be voted as a precinct.
Under lied River County’s road
law any division of a precinct
may be mapped out and bonds
voted in that division for perma-
nent roads.
Letters have been written by
County Judge Beauchamp, the
Dei>ort Commercial Club and
several other prominent men in
this section, asking Represents
tive Dickson to try to secure the
passage at this specia 1 session
of the legislature, of a road law
for Lamar County similar to
that pf Red River County.
The section north of town, com-
prising the black land trade ter-
ritory of Bogata, is in for good
roads. A plan of the desired
territory has been made and a
petition is being circulated ask-
ing the Commissioner’s Court to
approve it and order an election
to determine whether or not*a
certain amount of bonds will be
issued to build gravel roads. We
understand about 13,000 acres is
contained within the territory.
The territory of which Bogata
is the center will undoubtedly
see the benefit of good roads and
come in later. With the activ-
ity shown over the county the
past month we confidently ex-
pect to see it laid out in dis-
tricts and the work of road build-
ing going on in every district
at a date not far distant, With
a network of good roads, old Red
River would.witness an increased
demand for her land at advanced
prices, and her citizens could
talk with pride at the ease with
which they could come and go.

Honors Congressman
On last Friday evening Mr.
and Mrs. J. W. Cunningham
entertained with a beautifully
appointed dinner, honoring Mr.
Eugene Black of Clarksville.
Promptly at 7 o’clock the guests
were invited into the prettily
decorated dining room, the
color scheme of green and white
being carried out. The centre
piece was a tall cut glass vase
tilled with Magnolia buds and
fern. Covers were laid for
eight guests. Mrs. Cunning-
ham, assisted by Mrs. C. R.
Janes served a dainty eight
course dinner. Those enjoying
Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham’s
hospitality were: Messrs. Eu-
gene Black, Ross Hughston, Rog-
er Kefse -, Sam C. Holloway, C.
