AM ELS are a cigarette revelation! They
are a smoke delight! They answer the
cigarette question as it has never before been
answered. Your taste will prove that!
Camels are an expert blend of choice Turkish
and choice Domestic tobaccos which you will
greatly prefer to either kind of tobacco smoked
straight. Your test proves that!
This expert blend brings out Camels’ wonder-
ful cigarette qualities. It eliminates any un-
pleasant cigaretty aftertaste or any unpleasant
cigaretty odor! It also makes possible Camels’
enticing mildness while retaining the full

Fort Worth, May 20.—There was grief
Monday at the Mexican settlement Bear
the Wesley House on North Commerce
street. “Grandpa” Rimirez, 100 year* of
age, is dead. He was fatally injured
Monday morning about 12:30 o’clock
|when he was struck by a street car at
the north end of the Paddock Viaduct.
He died a few minutes later at the
City-County hospital.
“Grandpa” Rimirez was well known
among the Mexicans on the North Side,
and had been a familiar character in the
vicinity of the Wesley House. When he
reached his one hundredth birthday last
Oct. 10. a fiesta was given in his honor
by Miss Eugenia Smith, deaconess at
the house. He was given a cake with
100 small candles.
Rimirez went to church Sunday night.
The street lights were off because of
the electricians’ strike and he couldn’t
find his way home. North Side resi-
dents who didn’t know him say they
saw him wandering the street at a late
hour. His relatives' search for him end-
ed when they learned that'an aged Mexi-
can carrying a cane had been killed by
the street car.
were j
our state legislatures and others holding
jiosition of trust to seek the true source
of information when in doubt and to
know
connection with this great development.
And for these reasons the Townsend bill,
which aims to create a National High-
way system and a Federal Highway
Commission, to direct this great devel-
opment should receive the close and in-
sistent attention of all the oeople. Thus
will be enacted into law one of the most
powerful and constructive measures that
this generation will have the opportuni-
ty to deal with.”

The rain of yesterday morning
Waxahachie, May 19.—Troy Humph-. followed by
Rockett community, was so 1
jured in an automobile accident late
yesterday afternoon that he died a few
what they’re talking about in j hours later. He and three other boys
were on the way to Rockett in a car
when the machine got from under their
control and turned over twice. Young
Humphries, caught under the machine,
was crushed internally.
Later returns have reduced the ma-
ority for good roads to 555, with the
Dye and Coesfield boxes still out, the I
totals standing 1872 for good roads and I
1317 against good roads. Orlena is again

Dr. J. W. Overton, a big cattle man of
Gasmen, Mexico, arrived in Gainesville
Sunday night for the purpose of buying
a car load of fine cattle Per ranches in
his country. He was commissioMd to
buy a large number of pure bred cattU
for catleinen in his section and expect-
ed to secure one ear load in Cooke coun-
ty, but Monday morning it was rain-
ing. He made inquiries about cattle
here and was told he could get what he
wanted, but would have to wait a day
or so until the roads were passable be-
fore he could get out to see them.
He at once abandoned the plan of se-
curing cattle in Cooke county and caught
the next train to a county where he
thought he could get about without
waiting on the weather.
The balance of the country can get
along without Cooke county, but what
will happen to us if we remain cut off
