FOOL and his money are soon parted." Very true. Fathers and
mothers, yon want your children to become MANLY MEN and
WOMANLY WOMEN, not SQUANDERERS of time and health
and money. Young joy riders on life’s journey never come to any good.
Urge your children to be .FRUGAL Start them with « SMALL SAV-
INGS BANK ACCOUNT. See that they keep it going. Set them a good
example YOURSELF in YOUR OWN ACCOUNT.

Mad at Paint
25c a gallon for paint is about
$2.50 on the average job, and lots
of men waited last year for that;
but they didn’t reckon; they got
mad; wouldn’t pay it.
There are times to get mad
and refuse to pay; but when
one's prop'erty needs protecting
is no time to get mad and not
paint.
Besides, it costs more to get
mad and wait than to paint.
Getting mad doesn’t do any
good to your property, paint does
it good by keeping-out water; no
water do rot; no paint, some
water and rot; and a little rot is
more than enough to make a
man liberal towards his painter
aDd paint.
„ Paint costs not a cent. All the
paint in the world, so long as it
beeps-out water, costs not a
cant. Devoe.
Brazelton-Puyok & Co., sell it.
CRACKS AT THE CROWD
Claud Callan in Star-Telegram
To the Voters of Deport
An election has been ordered
for the purpose of electing the
town officers to serve for the en-
suing year. I have served as
Mayor to the best of my ability
from the time you have honored
me with the highest gift with-
in your power.
It is true that we have made
mistakes, as we are not perfect.
I thank the citizens of the
town for the support given me,
and ask you toelect a man for my
position, as it will be impossible
for me to serve another year.
Promising the one elected that I
support him to the best of my
ability in the work for a better
and cleaner Deport, I am,
Yours truly,
V. C. Oliver.
Sometimes you see a boy who
likes to study his lessons, while
in every other way he may be
perfectly normal.
Really, the young son needn’t
bother about telling mother the
other boy was in the wrong.
Mother already knows that.
When a woman sees a bargain
she buys it, realizing that she
will have plenty of time in the
future to decide what she will do
with it.
In Alabama a man can have
only one quart of licker shipped
to him every month. An ar
rangement of this kind forces
a fellow to ride the water wagon
during the summer in order to
store up enough cough medicine
for winter.
We are in favor of dividing
Texas into live states. It will
not only give us a greater voting
strength in the senate chamber,
but will create a greater outlet
for our oratory and bring us
more garden seeiL
The following from the Dellas
Bvening Journal, written by a
resident of Bogata, should be of
interest to our people:
Perhaps my most embarrass-
ing moment was occasioned by
lack of time and close observa-
tion of my personal appearance.
1 entered my dark bedroom
one evening and dressed \ y
hurriedly in my best white
linen, for I was to go to church
with the very nicest looking
young man in all the whole town
((thought so anyway). Before
I had completed my usual toilet
performance before the mirror
the door-bell rang and,of course,
it was my company.
After apologizing for being
late, he said we would be com-
pelled to start at once in order
to be on time.
When we reached the church,
I felt my heart sink, for the
services were already in prog-
ress and I knew I would have to
make my way to the choir, as I
I was on the program. I felt
peculiarly conspicuous as I
wended my way down the aisle,
as it seemed that every eye was
resting upon me. 1 mounted
the choir step and was about to
proceed to my usual place when
a girl friend whispered, ‘‘What
on earth is that on the back of
your skirt?”
Those words paralyzed me,for
very soon I remembered having
pinned a pair of black hose to
my skirt the day before, saying
as 1 did so, ‘‘Maybe I will be re-
minded of these hose and darn
them.”
By this time the audience was
in smiles, but I was in tears.
Bogata, Texas Miss V. D.
Wholesale Burglary at Bogata
New Subscribers
The following names have
been added to our list since our
last issue:
W. L. Chesshir, G. C. Neal,
H. W. Norwood, A. W.Anderson.
A visitor from Bogata Satur-
day stated that burglars made a
general raid on the places of
business at that place last Thurs-
day night but the sum total of
the booty was very small. The
places thpt were broken into
were the post office, the drug
store, T. J. Dozier’s store, W. L.
Lassiter’s store, Norriss’, store
and Harry Harvey’s confection-
ery. It was estimated that the
burglars did not get more than
$6 in cash. They made a water
haul at the post office; and didn’t
take any dry goods or groceries.
It is thought that there will
probably be some developments
in connection w’th the burglary
before a great while.

THE BEST POINTER!
That anybody can have
as to where to get the

dicate our Lumber

find fine, thoroughly'
dry and seasoned yel-
low pine for indoor or
outdoor purposes. We
supply builders, con-

and others with the
best of Lumber at the

D. L. Snell, Manager Deport, Texaa
A supposed unloaded pistol
camp near claiming another, vic-
tim last Sunday morning. Eld
and Mike, the sons of Mrs. Lucy
Haydock, were snowing two pis-
tols—one and old army shoot-
ing iron—to their friend, Don
Norrell. It was supposed that
both guns were unloaded and
when the trigger of the revolver
was pulled, the cartridge ex-
ploded, sending a ball through a
panel in a door, through the
back of a rocking chair and into
the wall on the farther side of
the house. A visitor in the
home was standing about four
feet out of the range of the ball.
Woodmen Close Contest
The W. O. W. lodges of Lamar
County have had on a member-
ship contest for several months,

o’clock Monday evening, carry-
ing about eighty-five passengers,
including the degree team and
the Cornet Band.
At Paris, most of the county
camps were pretty well repre-
sented, about 500 beiug in at-
tendance. Lamar County has
about 2,600 Woodmen. A spec-
ial program was carried out, fol-
lowed by competitive drills of
the uniform rank.
The following prizes were
awarded:
Best team work, loving cup,

ual, gold medal, T. E. White,

a bullet.
A New System—Try It
If you want to "buy, sell, or
trade, land, livestock, notes, or
other property, write us fall de-
tails of what you have and what
you want. Costa you nothing to
investigate successful new plan.
Write todsy. Southern Adver-
tising Agency, Anstin, Texas.
New York.—Leslie C. Wilder
received a check for a $2,250 leg-
acy for which he has been fight
ing for thirteen years. The ex
citement was so great that he
dropped dead with the check ip
his hand.
Allentown, Pa-—Because work
was slack, Francis D. Baer, grave
digger, committed suicide by in-
haling gas.
Los Angeles, Cal.—A complete
skeleton of a cave bear that is
said to be 200,000 years old, was
found recently in an excavation
near here.
New York.—An offer of $15 a
quart for blood for transfusion
caused a panic in a bread line
here. Thirty men were accepted
by the pnysicians making the
offer. ,
New York.—On board the
yacht with Mr. and Mrs. Alfred
G. Vanderbilt, who with their
two sons, Alfred and George,
are on an eight weeks’ cruise to
California,by way of the Panama
Canal, is a cow to furnish fresh
milk for the party and especially
for the two youngsters of the
family.
Grayville, 111.—A moral wave
has struck here and as a result
the girls in the high school bask-
et ball team no longer wear
bloomers, but “make the bas-
kets” in full skirts. The school
board notified the girls they
could not use the name of their
school in their games so long as
they wore bloomers.
San Antonio Tex__The first
girl to arrive in a family in four
generations or about 120 years,
was born to Mr. and Mrs. W.A.
Cunningham. In each generation
for the past century sons have
been born into family and have
carried the name of Cunning-
ham into many States, and the
birth of the first girl is an event
of no small importance.
We are glad to report that Ben
Wright is still improving.
Misses Kincaid, Love, Cox,
Hutchison and Mr. Houghston
went to Paris Monday night.
One of our reporters, Beryl
Webb, was absent from school
Tuesday on account of illness.
Misses Cox spent Saturday
and Sunday with homefolks—
the first time since Christmas.
Preparations are being made
for the closing exercises and we
are looking forward to an enjoy-
able time.
Will Deport Get Electricity?
A special representative of the
Commercial Club called on the
manager of the Texas Power
Co., at Dallas last week in the
interest of electricity for Deport.
It is estimated that it will cost
$20,000 to string copper wire
from Paris to Deport and that
it would cost $3,300 to wire the
town.
The Camp Fire Girls did not
go on their tramp last Saturday
on account of bad weather, but
intend to go soon.
We would enjoy having as
many visitors as possible as we
like to see the patrons take
great interest in our work.
We are sorry to state that Dr.
B. 8. Grant and family will move
to Palestine Wednesday. We
will lose four good pupils from
our school on account of this.
This week starts a new month
in our school work and we hope
to Improve over last month’s
work. We only have three more
months and every pupil is trying
to make his average a ninety so
he will be exempted from ex-
aminations.
The Cresco society rendered
an interesting program last E’ri-
day afternoon and the intermed-
iate grades will render one Fri-
day. The following programme
will be rendered by the Cresco
Society:
Mr.Jelonick, the manager, sta-
ted that the company was will-
ing to spend that amount pro-
vided they could receive enough
gross business to take care of
one third of the expenditure the
first year. He further stated that
they had money to do the work
now and if Blossom and Detroit
made a good showing, it was
likely that a line strung parallel-
ing the T. & P. railway to De-
troit and the wire be tapped for
Deport at a place nearest the
town.
Deport is out after this propo-
sition and it is to be hoped that
Blossom and Detroit will do
their part. If Detroit was an
incorporated town, we would all
stand a better chance of secur-
ing the service.
