key dinner in a way that is well worth
mentioning. The table was loaded
with everything that it takes to make
up a first-class turkey dinner and
with a fine big gobbler in the center
of the table that was simply cooked to
perfection, it was more than grati-
fying to look upon, and far more
pleasing to have the pleasure of par-
taking of. Mr. and Mrs. Goodall are
royal entertainers and Mrs. Goodall,
being a splendid cook, makes it all
the more pleasant to be invited to
their home to dine. Their guests were-
Mr. and Mrs. E.. F. Goodall, Mr. and
Mrs. H. S. Grimes of Sterling, Nebr.,
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Barnes, Mr. Earl
Gartrell and Miss Ruby Leggett. After
dinner Mr. Grimes, having his kodak
with him, shot the bunch up scandal-
ously, and among other pictures he
took, was that of Miss Jenneva,
daughter of the hostess, mounted on
her beautiful white pony, Topsy.
We hope that the attention of our
county school superintendent will be
drawn to the necessity of the Wads-
worth public school being very badly
in need of an assistant teacher. School

Pastor H. C. Morrison of the Bap-
tist Church returned yesterday from
a very important Educational Confer-
ence at Wharton, looking toward the
highest and best interest of education
in the coast country.
Dr. A. J. Barton, educational sec-
retary of the Baptist General Conven-
tion of Texas, was a distinguished vis-
itor in this conference.
Bay City was honored in the selec-
tion of Mr. Morrison as chairman of
a special committee for education in
this section of the State and steps are
being taken looking to the immediate
future of this important branch of
I progress in the southern part of our
great State. Hon. G. G. Kelley, Mr.
C. M. Hudson, Rev. John S. Ray and
Bro. J. O. Boettcher are other mem-
bers of the committee to act with Dr.
Barton and Mr. M. M. Wolf for the

their employes are as a rule the same.
This statement will apply to prac-
tically every advertiser using the
columns of reliable publications. In
fact, the publicity given their goods
is so great that they must expect to
have a certain amount of publicity
for their manufacturing plants and
employes as well. The men at the
head of these great industries know
that it pays to have healthful happy
employes, just the same as it pays
to manufacture a uniformly good ar-
ticle of merchandise.
How different do we find condi-
tions in the great sweatshops and
tenements where are manufactured
the shoddy and inferior articles that
are sold with no name and no brand
to indicate from whence they came.
It is in these places that we find
workers with consumption and other
dread diseases. And it is too often
the case that infe.ctious diseases are
spread in just this way. It is among
these overworked and underpaid toil-
ers that nearly all the great strikes
.occur. Remember these things and
demand that your dealer supply you
with trademarked-advertised goods
and at the same time help to better
industrial condition throughout the
entire country.

In the Wm. E. Austin Abstract Com-
pany’s advertisement in yesterday’s
Tribune an unintentional error oc-
curred. The paper stated that Miss
Emma Lewis was manager and Miss
Jessie Woodward, assistant manager.
Miss Woodward is manager and Miss
Lewis, assistant manager, and we
make the correction with pleasure.

W. C. Reiling was kind enough to
bring us in some fine- large, ripe
strawberries last week off of vines
that he planted November 15. It’s
worth any ones while to go through
Mr. Reiling’s garden any month in the
year. He always has lots of good
garden stuff and a world of all kinds
of beautiful flowers.
The Horn boys finished threshing
last Friday and report a much better
sample than they have had any time
during the threshing season.
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Shipman moved
their household effects last week into

not being able to keep house.
A most entertaining dance program
was rendered here last Friday night
in the large, nearly completed store
building of Lorino Bros., under the
direction of Mr. Green Savage. The
floor space was thirty by one hundred
feet. The building was lighted with
large gasoline lamps which render-
ed it almost as light as day. The
Matagorda Mexican orchestra was in
attendance and rendered excellent
music. There were about seventy-
five couples in attendance and there
was not a word or action unbecoming
in anyone during the entire evening
to cause the slightest discord, or in
other words, the entertainment was
one continuous round of pleasure
from start to finish. During the eve-
ning the Ladies Aid Society served
oysters in E. F. Goodall’s fancy gro-
cery which was also a success.
It was given out that the dance
would be repeated next Thursday
evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Goodall very
courteously entertained a number of
their friends, last Sunday with a tur-
We overheard a remark of one of
our stockmen to an Alvin visitor the
other day, and the substance of it was
that “silos have solved the feed ques-
tion in this section.” He stated a1
great truth. The trouble heretofore
has not been because feed stuffs
■could not be grown here, for it has
been demonstrated, without any room
for doubt, that many varieties of
feed for all kinds of stock can be
grown in the greatest abundance. The
trouble all along has been the diffi-
culty of saving it after having been
made. For this reason very little of
these crops have been grown, making
the burden of feeding work stock a
very heavy expense, which has ma-
terially cut down the profit realized
/from strawberries, vegetables
imany other money crop. This
been one of the reasons why
country has not developed more rap-
idly. With the introduction of silos
a new opportunity has been offered
to the farmers that will make them
(largely independent of the feed stores
land, to that extent increase their
/'prosperity. Those who have estab-
lished silos are already reaping their
benefit ,and they can speak in a con-
Ivincing way of their advantages.—

was opened a few days ago with thir-
ty-three pupils in attendance,, and up
to the twentieth of the month, there
are fifty enrolled. What kind of serv-
ice can one teacher render to fifty
pupils, ranging from the primmer to
the eighth grade. It matters not what
the former record of the teacher may
have been with an ordinary sized
school, say twenty or thirty pupils,
they cannot do themselves justice or
the pupils either, with an enrolment
of fifty, ranging from the “A, B, C”
class to the eighth grade. Texas is
quoted the world over as having more
money per capita for educational pur-
poses than any other State in the
United States. If this statement be
true and we have seen the statement
in some of our leading newspapers
of the State, why not at once see to
it that our children at Wadsworth
have a fair chance. Mrs. Gibson is a
first-class teacher and has her heart
in her work, but there is a limit to
all things.
Under the supervision of Mr. J.
H. Manley of the ’Texas Plate and
Glass Company of Houston, the first
plate glass store front is being put

ing.
Miss Bell Mill, living northwest
town, entertained fifteen couples
her young friends a few evenings
at her home by giving a private danc-
ing party. It was one of the most
up-to-date social events of the sea-
son. Good music was in attendance
and absolute happiness prevailed dur-
ing the entire evening. On the de-
parture of the merry dancers every
one in attendance expressed them-
selves as having had a royal good
time and hoped the occasion could be
repeated often. Refreshments were
served.
Rev. George E. Kemp, the Metho-
dist minister that has been appointed
for the year, preached here last Sun- j
day to a full house, both morning and
■evening. We have about fifty in at-
tendance at Sunday school and we
are all more than pleased to see that
so many people in and around Wads-
worth are taking so much interest in
church work.
Rev. Kemp will preach to us, morn-
ing and evening of the third Sunday
of each month during the year; and
Rev. McGraw will pteach morning
and evening of the first Sunday of
each month. Everybody is urged to
borne out to Sunday School and attend
services when these men are here.
The big free dance that was given
last Tuesday night by Toney Lorino
in his new store building was largely
attended by young people from Bay
City, Matagorda and the surrounding
country. Good music was in atten-
dance,, perfect order prevailed and
everybody reports a splendid enter-
tainment.
In these articles we have not
■ wished to dwell too exclusively on
the mere material things involved. It
has been said that money will buy
everything but happienss and that it
is a passport to everywhere except
'heaven. But we may spend our
money wisely so that it will bring a
(large share of happiness to ourselves
!as well as to ethers, or we may spend
/it foolishly so that none are benefited,,
Here in the great and growing South-
west we have qpt own problems. Our
farmers must contend with overflows,
drouths and the boll weevil. These
things affect the business man as
well and in addition he has many
vexations and worries that call for
constant and unremitting effort for
him to succeed. In previous articles
we have tried to show how it is to
the interest o’ the merchant and the
farmer to wcTk together and how
when one prospered t'ae other would
prosper • also. Let us carry ibis one
step farther and shew how there is
a community of interest between the
producer and the consumer.
