When a man loses his money, his
friends take two different views.
Some quit him cold and the others
think he will get it back.
Wise County’s recently formed
county farm council is becoming a
model for organization by other
counties in this section who have
learned of its creation. The most
recent is Palo Pinto which acknowl-
edges that it is following
Wise County example. The

DAVIS OR A DEADLOCK.
The attempt by the Republican
leaders to treat the Democratic cand-
idate as impossible of election is
really silly. When cold cr.lcqlation
is made it appears that Davis*,
chances are much more certain than
Coolidge’s chances.
The vote Davis is certain to get
is double that which is certain for
Coolidge. The vote Davis is reasona-
bly sure of is about as great as
that which is reasonably certain to
go to Coolidge. LaFollette will carry
no Democratic state; he will carry
some, he may carry many Republican

Wise County had the unsual distinc-1 an election by the House of Repre-

_ ‘ _ L ______3 our
Decatur milk station is by all odds
the largest in the whole sorth. The
price paid is probably the highest in
proportion to the platform price of
any similar station situated in the
United States.”
At the same time these figures
were submitted the Chamber of Com-
merce, butter-fat or cream receivers
from Decatur, namely, Metzer Bros.
Dallas; Mistletoe Creamries, Fort
Worth and Swift A Company, Fort
Worth, who are represented in De-
catur respeceively by H. L. Jones,
grocer; the F. L. U. Store and
Charlie Long; A. D. Reeves and S.
C. Man, sumitted that approximately
125.000 had been paid for butter-fat
in Decater during the year designat-
ed. The total of milk and butter-
fat produced and sold from the
vicinity of Decatur easily approxi-
mates ten thousands of dollars of
cash every thirty days. I
J. H. Boyd, veteran farmer of
Pecan Creek country, was converted I
_ this year to the use af grasshopper I
le poison. He related the following
„ story. Two crops of cotton were
planted on his place, a field of SO
acres by Claude Boyd, and alongside I
of this a field of 22 acres by Charlie I
Longmire. Grasshoppers began their I
ravages in the summer but it was I
late before grasshopper poison began I
to be used under the personal in- I
struction of County Agent W. M. I
Love in fact so late that the thirty I
acre field was completely cleaned up I
stalk and leaf, some of the ground I
being plowed up and planted to I
other crops. A like fate thretened I
the 22 acres but by timely application I
about 16 acres were saved and up to I
date had made four bales of cotton I
I with another in sight. Mr. Boyd re- I
ports that dead grasshoppers killed I
> poison literally covered the I
ground. The cost of the poison I
amounting to about $16.00. |

WHAT IS A ONE-CENT SALE ?
It is a sale where yojn buy an item at the regular price—then another item of the same
kind for 1c. As an illustration: The price of a certain box of paper or tooth paste is 50c;
you buy one at this price and by paying lc more, or 51c, you get two packages. Every ar-
ticle in this sale is a high-class standard piece of merchandise, just the same as we sell
you every day at regular prices and have sold you for years.
A New Way of Advertising
Rather than spend large sums of money in other ways to convince you of the merit of
these goods, we are spending it on this sale in selling you a full size package of mer-
chandise for lc. It costs money to get customers*' The loss taken on' this sale will be
well spent if the goods please you. t
COME EARLY before the articles that you want are all gone, as you already know that
after the last day of this sale the price goes back to the regular price as before the
sale. r
Only a Few of the Articles Listed Here
• Rouge,face powder, talcum powders, toilet water, face creams of all kinds, face lo-
tions, tooth washes, tooth paste and, tooth brushes, massage creams, bay rum, pound
paper, envelopes, stationery, coffee, black pepper, red pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, rasp-
berry jam, grape jelly, milk chocolate bars, zinc stearate; mineral oil, hair brushes and
combs, adhesive tapes, drugs and medicines of various kinds, vanilla and lemon ex-
tracts—and hundreds of other articles which we cannot list here for the want of space.
attended one of these sales we know you will come again—and come
early; don’t wait until the last day

Delivery of Your
Winter’s Fuel
LON
DALL
SWRWAS CO.
EXAS
One advantage of natural gas service
that is evident right now is the delivery
of your winter’s fuel when you need it
—and only when and in the quantity
you need.
If this community burned coal instead of
natural gas, its people would have paid out their
money ror coal by this time, have to furnish
storage space, ana probably underestimate the
amount required, so that some cold day there
would be a hurried call on the coal man.
Ready At All Times
With natural gas service such as the people
of this municipality enjoy, the winter’s supply
of fuel gives them* no concern. It is ready at
all times for the match that commands its
warmth. /
Even a very sudden cold snap is usually met
in advance. Once in a great while it may be the
cold comes quicker than the gas can be trans-
ported, but even then the inconvenience is rarely
more than an hour or two, while for all the
natural gas is
instantly.
