One Of The Duties Of The Court
A habitual imbiber was recently
taken before a judge.
Said the court severely: “Young
man, I believe that this is the fourth
time you have been brought before
me on a charge of drunkenness.”
Prisoner—“Don’t ask me, Judge.
You’re supposed to keep the score.”
Sim Flinders, while getting ready
to repair a leak in the roof, fell to
the ground as he was going1 up the
ladder, but was not hurt. How he
came to fall was that he hadn’t no-
ticed as he went up the ladder that
several rounds were missing from it.
Kentuckytown Club Exhibit
The Kentuckytown Home Demon-
stration Club held an exhibit in the
Kentuckytown school building Friday
afternoon, from which home demon-
stration agents selected products to
be exhibited in Sherman at the Red
River Valley Fair next week.

The Palace Hotel man at Tickville
says he would get lots of tourist
trade if they were not all in such a
big hurry to' get to some other place.
Atlas Peck says he never did have
an insurance policy that didn’t
threaten to lapse every few weeks.
The Hog Ford preacher delivered
one of his loudest and most powerful
sermons last Sunday. At one time
his suspenders seemed like they
could stand the strain no longer.
The Tickville Jailer and one of his
prisoners engaged in a big argument
this morning. It all came up over the
prisoner becoming dissatisfied and
believing he ought to get out, while
the Jailer thought he ought to stay
in.

ported in its entirety by the ads of

boards to wake up and pass the word
along the line that school

possible?—Richardson Echo.
The third annual Pilot Grove Com-
munity Fair, held last Thursday and
Friday, was said to be the best ever
held in point of quality, arrangement
and number' of entries, and in the
spirit of enthusiasm back of its or-
ganization.
All departments seen at any com-
munity fair were represented at
Pilot Grove. The livestock exhibit
was so extensive that erection of a
building to house livestock is planned
for next year. Other exhibits were
housed in a tabernacle. Crop displays
exceeded anticipation.
The women’s department was ex-
cellent from every standpoint. Miss
Margaret Boone, teacher of home
economics in the Whitewright High
School, judged women’s and girls’
entries.
BARSTOW, Fla.—Criminal court
jurists of this vicinity must decide
whether it is unlawful to possess
dishwater with an alcoholic content
of more than one half of one per
cent. The question arose when -Wiley
Baggett was arrested. Officers said
he saw them coming and smashed a
jugful of liquor in a washtub. The
deputies said the dishwater analyzed
5 per cent alcohol.

Poke Eazley’s wandering gourd
vine is attracting much attention.
The vine, after having run all around
his farm, now wants to spread out,

The Dog Hill preacher is reported
to have got off fine right fine things
during his sermon last Sunday. When
anybody talks regular the year
round they are bound to say some-
thing occasionally.
If any local institution owes al-
legiance and support when able to do
so to the local newspaper, it is the
school. Yet, how often shortsighted-
ness on the part of those in charge
of a little bit of printing, controlled
by this coterie, makes them feel that
bids should be obtained from all
parts of the globe. These same
teachers would feel rather peeved if
the school board asked for bids on
their jobs and then let the contract
to the lowest bidder—the teachers
trust would be shattered and the tax
payers would be benefitted, but
would the school be helped? We
hardly think so. Recently a high
school class of a neighboring city
submitted us a proposition to print
for them a semi-monthly school pa-
per. We know their local man should
print this and in making a price used
the full Porte list as a basis and
sent the local printer copy of our
letter. Our bid was $14 above the
local price, yet the school authority
wrote back asking- us if we could not
“bid under” the local man so they
could get a lower- price. They as-
sured us that the same proposition
had been made other “foreign print-
ers” and they felt that some one
would cut the price. For- a measly
few dollars, no profit to speak of at
all, to the local printer, this school is
seeking to send out of their town a

Mrs. Katie Carmel Stropd, Box 479, Pitts-
burg, Texas, whose picture appears here, writes:
"In the Spring of 1927, my hands, arms'and
legs broke out with something and I went to
see the doctor and he treated me for some time,
but did not do me any good. A friend of mine
told me about you and your wonderful treat-
ment. I only took two treatments and I haven’t
been bothered with that sickness any more. I'
can eat and drink anything I want and it does
not hurt me. I wish everybody could know
about your wonderful treatments and know
what relief they would get after taking them.”

With the advent of electricity and
its adoption as the largest source of
power, a new unit came into being-,
the “watt” and, for simplification,
the “kilowatt” or 1,000 watts.
The relation between kilowatt and
horse-power is fixed—a kilowatt is
1,000 watts and a horsepower is 746
watts. Roughly, the kilowatt is a
kind of super-horsepower one-third
stronger than the ordinary “horse.”
Theoretically, according to Dr. Geo.
Otis Smith, director of the Geolog-
ical Survev, a one-kilowatt engine
! will operate 20 50-watt lights, while
a one-horsepower engine will oper-
A lot of us who talk glibly enough
of horse-power and kilowatts know-
little of the relation between the two
as standards of power measurement.
Horse-power, as much the older
term, is better understood than kil-
owatt, for James Watts, when he in-
vented the steam engine was
forced to evolve some measure of the
power of his engines. And when he
found that a strong draft horse
could, for short periods, lift 550 ’
pounds a foot per second, he adopt- ; a^e 14.9 50-watt lights,
ed as his standard the “horse-pow-| ---------------
er,” i. e., the equivalent of lifting I
550 pounds one foot each second or
33,000 pounds in a minute.
“Horse-power” became the stand-
ard of the measure of power for the
rating of engines and other mechan-
isms making or generating power.
