mentioned.
Most folks’ idea of the Aztec In-
dians is derived from the weird
carvings and intricate designings
of the ornamentation of a theatre
of that name in San Antonio. The
ancient Egyptians are Indelibly as-
sociated with Moses, the bulrushes
and locusts. And the present-day
Hawaiians—if the feminine portion
does much else other than a more
or less suggestive wiggle dance, it
hasn’t been bro’t to the attention
of movie picture devotees—and that
is where a good portion of the cit-
izenship get their impression of
the “costumes and habits” of peo-
ple of other lands and shores.
A TRAGEDY was recorded just
A recently in our neighbor city of
Ballinger—love’s sweet dream
was evidently lost! And that is a
tragedy of the first water! It ap-
pears that a happy couple made
application for a marriage license
on July 2nd, at which time the
whole world appeared to them
tinged with roseate hue. And ever
since the third day after filing
of the intention, the county clerk
there has been anticipating their
return to claim the license. But
alas! Neither has comc.
• ♦ *
Has love flown out of the win-
dow? Or has the doctor refused
to furnish the health certificate—
or what? Regardless of the what,
the license has become void, for ac-
cording to Texas law, it must be
taken out within 30 days after it
is applied for. ,
Should the young couple still
- wish to carry out their original in-
tentions of securing a license, they
e must now make a new application,
A ) three days, and produce a
P’nealth certificate, etc. In the
I meantime, one wonders if the new
law requiring of application, did
not operate to deprive some lawyer
of a divorce fee. .
Three days is a long time for
some folks’to keep their minds
made up to the same purpose.
A RECENT news dispatch tells
Athat 25% of the news carried
§ in one of the leading St. Louis
dailies was furnished by Texas,
with West Texas supplying the
greater percentage of the Texas
News. Texas is a great state, and
its rapid progress and development
makes of it a veritable storehouse
| for news. A decadent town or
country never features very strong-
ly in the news of the day, however
prominent a part it may play in
historical reviews. And the very
fact that Texas does not supply so
much of the current news of na-
tional interest, is the best indica-
; tion of its forward march.
And that recalls a recent editor-
ial in the San Angelo Times, in
which the editor advocated Talk-
ing Texas." Calling attention to
the fact that thousands of Texans
are visiting in the various health
and recreational resorts of the
country, the editor stated that noth-
ing could be more opportune than
to talk Texas—its present achieve-
ments and its future possibilities.
Likewise, to the thousands of tour-
ists from all over the U. S. now
visiting, or to visit in Texas, the
story of Texas’ resources and op-
portunities will prove a revelation,
and should be instrumental in inter-
esting many in the Lone Star State.
Since West Texans “know most
a an west "as one of she must
richly blessed sections of he count
try," the editor opines, it isen
proper that they talk West
tirey. P Remember, travelers, you

Dove hunters of the Hill coun-
try counties of Texas, although al-
most all of these counties are in the
north zone, will have to wait un-
til October 1st to shoot doves, ac-
cording to the Game, Fish and Oys-
ter department, which is now is-
suing copies of the reused game
and fish laws over Texas.)
The 41st Legislature wrote a
rather complicated bill affecting
wild doves. This bill originated
through the efforts of a number of
representatives to provide a con-
current dove and quail season in
the extreme eastern portion of the
State. Various amendments were
offered to this bill, one of which
was that the open season on doves
in Menard, McCulloch, San Saba,
Llano, Mason, Kimble, Kerr, Gilles-
pie and Blanco counties should be
only during the months of October
and November) This, with other
portions of the dove bill was enact-
ed and is the law provided for the
open season in these counties at
this time.
The open season on doves for
those counties in the north zone,
not affected by special county
laws, is during the months of Sep-
tember and October, and in those
portions of the south zone, not af-
fected by special county laws, is
during the months of October and
Noveniber.

BETWEEN 800 AND 900 BALES
PRELIMINARY RUN MADE SATURDAY-FIRST SHIP-
MENT 17 BALES PRESSED THIS MORNING FOR
SHIPMENT TO HOUSTON—COST $25,000
A ---
Brady’s first shipment of high density cotton will be
loaded out this afternoon for Houston delivery and will com-
prise 17 bales of new staple cotton, pressed out for the firm
of Hampton & Maxwell, local cotton buyers, in the initial run
of the new press this morning. A preliminary run of the
press was made last Saturday. The new high density press,
completed at a cost of between $25,000 and $27,000, is one of
three high density presses in the Heart o’ Texas section, the
others being located at Ballinger and Brownwood. Incident-
ally, it is one of three new high density presses installed by
the Geo. H. McFadden Co. for this season, the others being
the one at Brownwood and also one at Ennis. The press at
Ballinger was installed two years ago. Credit for the instal-

The flip of a coin will decide no

among the high school of the

League, and which makes it impos-
sible for two elevens to play a tie

patch sent out from Austin, and
which appeared in the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram in regard to the
ruling:
Since a recent ruling by the Tex-
as Interscholastic League makes it
virtually impossible for two elev-
ens to play a tie game, the ap-
proaching state high school foot-
ball race promises to produce more
aggressive play than ever before.
There will be no laying back and
playing safe, a policy adopted by
many coaches in seasons past. Ev-
ery inch gained will count in the
new system adopted by the organi-
zation to avoid ties. There will not

year when the Port Arthur team
played in the finals against Abilene
after being tied by Main Avenue
of San Antonio and Marshall in the

If two teams finish a game in a

to settle it. Then if both should
have carried the ball that far the
same number of times, the first
down clause will be invoked. That
failing, the eleven which has gain-
'd the most yardage will be de-
clared the winner. In other words,
no more contests will be decided by

John Wall was last week in re-

C. T. White, who are making an
extensive tour of the New England
states and on up into Canada, stat-
ing that his picture programs are
the peer of any they have seen in
New York; in fact, some of the
pictures now enjoying record runs
in that city, were shown in Brady
before the Whites started on their
trip several weeks ago. This state-

goers in any of the larger cities,
for Brady is winning a reputation
for the showing of first run pic-

A crew of Mexicans has been em-
