We do not like
to advertise our road service as primarily free be-
cause our solicitous and expert management has given
it so many other worth while distinctions; for instance
—The number of cars guarantees a prompt response
to every call.
—These cars are fully equipped to meet every tire
emergency.
—Our spirit of service makes our men willing cour-
teous thorough workers.

BLACK’S REPLY
To the Bell Ringtrs’ curiosity to know what I will do rc
garding back taxes owing by anybody even by real estab
boosters City Administration politicians special privilege seeK
ers—l want to say:
If elected Commissioner of Taxation I will compel eac
one of them to pay all his just taxes if he owes any. but I wil
not persecute him or any other citizen by filing a questionable
suit at election time twenty-five years after it is claimed to b
due on property sold by him twenty yea.- ago. J will see tna
the suit is filed against the real -■■■ r.er and the tax collectin;
department will not be used a- a instrument of oppression.
I will go after the big fellow- a- • e . as the little ones.
I will not “farm out” the back tax collections at per cen
commission as against a bona fide bid of 5 per cent with a con
sequent loss to the tax payer- of many tnousands of dollar:
annually. .
Better still 1 will hate a competent attorney at my
disposal and back taxes will be collected by prop • city officer:
at a cost of less than 3 per cent.
Mr. Andres Coy at the time of h - election pa.o no taxes
and now pays the very large amount of Sb.oo city taxes on f
1400.00 personal property rendered a ^ment. U< assesses
no real estate so I am informed. c
Is that the only measure of ' " ' o:f e n ..an
Antonio?

A Richer
Ice Cream
Use one quart milk or milk
and cream or evaporated
milk diluted.
Add one package Jiffy Ice
Cream Powder. Then the
flavor from the vial in the
package. No cooking re-
quired no eggs no sugar.
The mixture will make two
quarts of ice cream much
richer than you ever made
without it. Quicker and
cheaper too.
Try a package. It is made
by the makers of Jiffy-Jell.

COMPARES FIGHT FOR
PROHIBITION WITH
END OF WORLD WAR
Mrs. Eva C. Wheeler Warns
Hearers Against “Laxness
After Armistice.”
I T.ikt ning the fight fur the adoption of
j th'- prohibition ampndmnnts to the world
war. Mr*. I> a (Wheeler national lec-
turer fur the Woman'* Christian Tem-
peranro Cnion. *poke Friday ovening at
a public ma>* meeting in the First Bap-
ti*r < huivh.
She drew the eompari.«on to stiffen the
comi<’tioD* of the pros in the weeks re-
i maiiiiiig before the amendment is sub-
; mith > d to the voters. She reminde<j her
! audience that Texas must ratify the na-
J tional prohibition amendment and no
। better way could be found than to adopt
a state amendment for the same pur-
-1 »OM’.
In carrying out her illustration she
aid that if the allied soldiers had quit
wlu-n the armistice was signed and gone
I dr way. that the Central Powers
would have seized the moment of Jax-
m ** in effort and ou<e more turned the
battle. She begged that enthusiasm and
labor for the causir would not wane
before oi-ction <lay. dcelaring that the
nation's e.\<s were on Texas.
"If we Jose here the antis will seize
on the situation and declare the senti>
merit is against the measure when in
truth a large percentag' of the popu-
lation is for prohibition but think the
i**ue won and are ready to lay down
their arm.*. We mint keep on.“
A* establishing that the W. C. T. C.
wa* not merely a union for temperance
but had proved its worth and strength
fiuring the war. Mr*. Wheeler summar-
ized briefly the war activities of the
union show ing that thousands of dollar-1

Seventy Feet of Oil Sand!
And Still Going Down!
The Deep Test Well being drilled by Dr. F. L. Thomson
on the townsite of Somerset is still in the sand. It looks
good for deep oil and plenty of it.
If You Intend to Get In —Hurry!
Until a gusher comes in you can buy lots in Somerset
townsite for from .sloo’to $3OO each. If a gusher is
found you will pay several times that price if you can
find anyone willing to sell them to you.
Drive Out to Somerset Sunday
See the deep well drilling talk with people on the
ground visit the shallow oil fields all around the deep
test which are producing thousands of dollars worth of
high grade oil monthly investigate fully make up your
mind.
It’s a ground floor proposition folks—the chance of a
lifetime right here at your own door. When the deep oil is
found your chance to invest for a few’ dollars will be
forever gone.
Grayburg Oil Company Shares $lOO
This company should be paying forty or fifty per cent
on its shallow wells alone when its properties are fully
developed. If it gets deep oil it will be one of the com-
panies that make oil history.
THE TIME TO BUY IS NOW
