NORTHER DESCENDS
A norther put in its appearance
Monday evening, sufficiently threat-
ening cold weather to cause some
people to drain their cars. It was not
very cold Tuesday, but was foggy.
The fog was prettty dense Tuesday
late—as this is written. Well, any-
how, let us all hope that next Tues-
day is a nice day so we can all go
to the polls and express our solid
convictions.
EXTENDING ROAD SURVEY
A. J. Adcock, engineer for the “ju-
ry of view,” is making a road sur-
vey over the hill or high country
that parallels Limpia Canyon on the
westerly side. This is in addition to
the survey down the canyon. It is
understood the state is bearing the
expense of this additional work.
Mr. Adcock said about ten days
ago that he was then ready to start'
the “hill” survey, and that it would
take him about two weeks.
This will give the jury and the
county commissioners a choice be-
tween the two routes when the mat-
ter is brought up for final hearing,
as it is expected to be November 12.
It is supposed that the jury will rec-

FIGHTING MAD!
I Blue Mad! Sizzling Mad! Mad clear through!
They are mad because we did. We are glad because we did.
It’s not our business to chuck somebody under the chin and coo over
that somebody as if we loved to do it. No, it ain’t. That’s not what
we are in business for.
There would have been no use whatever to justify our being in
I business if we had painted a little red on the front of our store, a little
I white inside and then sat down happy with our own no-accountness.
We cut the prices in this city of yours and ours. We slashed the
extra penny, the extra nickel, the dime and the dollar from the High
Price in other stores. Not because we were mad, but for the reason
that the price was too high.
- We opened our store for business in this town to make the price
cheaper. To do this throughout the ENTIRE store.
The other stores meet our prices on a few articles, but they get so
mad they fail to lower the prices all the way down the list 1

Farmers sometimes find insects in cotton bolls and wonder whether
they are pink bollworms. The worm stage of the insect shown in this
illustration is the only form that is likely to be found by a casual exami-
nation. The worm when full grown varies from about seven sixteenths
of an inch to slightly more than one-half inch in length, and has a dis-
tinct pinkish color. The pink bollworms shown above are about one
calf natural size.
“Trifles make perfection, but per-
fection is no trifle.” Election of offi-

Grubb; vice-president, Jeanne Stew-
art; secretary, Dorothy Clark.

Of Will Evans of Marfa in “witch-
ing” for water wells this summer. He
has had phenominal success. His
latest is a well for Oscar Medley,
where water was found at fifty-three
feet that tested fifteen gallons a min-
ute.
CHARMING FLOWER GARDEN
Perhaps the largest and handsom-
est flower garden that ever bloomed
in Fort Davis is that of Mr .and Mrs.
O. C. Poling. It might have been
planted primarily to attract butter-
flies and moths and other “bugs,”
since Mr. Poling is the most widely
known and famous American field
entomologist. But it’s really Mrs. Po-
ling’s flower garden, made beautiful
by her selection of flowers and her
artistic direction of the gardeners.
A great variety of flowers were
planted—zinnias in numerous colors
Harry and George Grierson re-
turned to their home here a few days
ago after an absence of several
weeks, part of the time being spent
in El Paso.
