Killin’ good read elections
Is the popular sport
In Angleton these cays.
Kindda like flounderin’
On Chocolate Bayou.
A habit hard to break.
I was intendin’
To write sumthin’
And express my opinion
Of them mud eaters.
But I guess I won’t
Until I cool down.
I’m so disgusted
And mad
I mighr say somethin’
I Not in the dictionary,
j Besides there is no words
I Strong enough to express
i What I think about
’ Them eave men
For bombardin’ that
Road bond issue.
It ain’t right-
Them fellers know better.
They come over and
Spin around on our shell roads
With their best girls
In big tourin’ cars
And then go home and
Scratch the wrong line
On the election ticket.
Maybe its because
■They can’t read
Or are too stingy.
They have done it
So many times
I am reminded oi that song—
"You’ll Do the Same Thing
Over, Over and Over Again.”
Yours for educatin’
them mud eaters,
JIMMIE

No report has reached us as to j
the exact date when the Arcadia j
Oil Company will begin prospect-;
ing for oil on their holdings near'
Arcadia about seven miles east
of Alvin, However, it is under-
stood that actual operations will1
begin in the near future. The
president and general manager,
Estel Staxk Brown, in a visit to j
the Sun office this week stated
that the company was in a posi-
tion to begin at once but are ce
termined to wait until they are
financially able to complete the
test. One of the reasons why
so many wells drilled in Texts;
turn out failures is because com- |
panies begin operation on limit-
ed capital, depending on future
stock sales to keep the machia
ery moving, and are compelled
to shut down when the antici-
pated sales fail. The officials of j
the Arcadia Oil Company will
not begin their test until they
have the machinery bought ard
paid for and the capital to drill

The economy of Overland 4 is generally
known, but its strength has made it the most
popular car of its class.
Injustice to your comfort in riding, and to
your sense of economy in upkeep, let me show
you this little beauty.
A ride in this little car will convince you at
once that no other light car will ever approach
the comfort Triplet Springs provide.
The thoroughbred construction is evident
at first glance and upon close examination you
will find completeness you could hardly ex-
pect in so light a car.
