TALKING ABOUT PIKES
Frisco is proud of her possession of
several of the best pikes in the coun-
ty. Let's all take the necessary inter
est in these pikes, which cost us all
the way from $10,000 per mile to
118,000, to see that they are kept up
and that they give us service the
longest time possible. This can be
done by each person taking a person
all interest in the investment, for we
all partners in the deal, and when we
find a place requiring five minutes
attention get out of the car or down
off the horse and put that five min-
utes' time in right then. An example
of time wasted may be found on the
road to McKinney in the McKinney
district. The first place is a small
bridge where one must bring his car
almost to a dead stop because of
holes on each end of the bridge. Thir-
ty minutes spent by one person at
that spot would, in all probability,
lengthen the life of every car and pos-
sibly save several springs. Some-
times we find chug holes in the road
close to some man's house. That man
could well afford to take a team dur-
ing wet weather or after rain and
repair the bad place in a very few
minutes. The Commissioners should
not be expected to do everything; we
are all subject to five days' road duty.
Let's get back to Harding's normalcy.

BOY WOUNDED WHILE HUNTING
Denton, Dec. 25.—Grady, the 16-
year-old son of W. H. Gibbons, living
southeast of Denton, had his left arm
severely injured when he was struck
by a charge from a shotgun while
hunting with two companions. The
flesh was torn from the bone almost
from the elbow to the hand and It was
thought amputation might be neces-
sary. He was taken to Dallas for
treatment.
NEFF REFUSES TO ACCEPT
CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Austin. Dec. 22.—A Christinas cus-
tom that was broken by Governor Wtff
last year was repeated this time by
his refusal to accept a present from
his appointees This has long been a
custom among members of the cabinet
and some very handsome gifts have
been made on Christmas (o both the
Governor and his wife in the years
gone by.
Certain officials and employes in the
Capitol did band together and make
presents to the secretariat force in
the executive office. R. B. Walthall,
private secretary to the Governor,
was given a set of platinum cuff links,
while Mrs. Espa Stanford, assistant
secretary, was remembered with a
leather suitcase and handbag of the
same pattern.
Presents were made to nearly all of
the department heads by their em-
ployes and Christmas trees were held
in more than one office. The State
departments closed at noon today and
will remain closed until next Wednes-
day.
FREE SEED AMENDMENT
DEFEATED IN HOUSE
Washington, Dec. 22.—Free seed
went down to defeat in the House to-
day, when an amendment offered by
Representative Langley (Rep.) of
Kentucky, to add an appropriation of
$360,000 to the agricultural appropria-
tion bill for distribution of seed by
members of Congress, was voted down
74 to 71.
In voting down the Lanpley amend-
ment the House upset a precedent of
years' standing, the usual course in
the past having been for the Appro-
priation Commtitee to eliminate the
item for he House to vote it back in-
to the bill.
Merrilt Braswell, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Will Braswell, who has been at-
tending A. & M. College located at
Bryan, Texas, is home for the holi-
days.
Hansford Ray who has been trav-
eling in East Texas, came home to
spend the holidays with his wife.
Hansford is representing a big insur-
ance company.
Animal Sense In
Diet Regulation
Is Recommended
"We are all animals—physically.
What we human accomplish de-
pends very largely upon how good
an animal we arc. And how good
an animal we are depends consider-
ably upon what we eat." C. C. Lamb,
of King's Food Products Company
said.
"So many people are doing so
many unnatural things nowadays
that it is not surprising to note
that their diets are often greatly
changed from what nature intended.
If we applied only a portion of the
instinctive knowledge of the ani-
mals in selecting and eating certain
corrective and curative foods there
would be fewer ailments and little or
no need for medicine.
"Of course. It is true that man in
his everlasting conquest has scattered
the species into all sorts of country
and environments where, in the past,
it was impossible to secure certain
essential foods, even though knowl-
edge and instinct might dictate this
necessity. But with present-day meth-
ods of preservation and systems of
transportation of foodstuffs there are
few locations in this country where
all the essential foods for health can
not be had, whether in the densely
populated centers or in the sparsely
settled had lands, where the jack
rabbits are forced to carry a lunch
between jumps or starve.
"A very great deal has been said
about balanced rations for both man
and beast. A ration may be balanced
as far as chemical analysis is con-
cerned, but fall short of producing
health because of the source and
quality of some of the essential nu-
trients that go to keep the body func-
tioning normally.
♦ ♦ ♦
Fruits Have Tonic Value.
"There are many combinations of
foodstuffs that will supply the hu-
man body with plenty of protein, fats
and ash, but one of the most impor-
tant considerations is the source and
quality and variety of these nutrients.
What is the answer? Fresh fruits and
vegetables. These are the great, prop-
erly blended tonic and food gifts of
nature containing the mysterious aids
to digestion, the proper functioning
of the nervous system and vital or-
gans, as well as bone and tissue build-
ing elements. Yet how often are fresh
fruits or vegetables left out of our
diet through pure neglect, or being
difficult to secure or out of season?
"But, as mentioned in the fore-
going there are now few sections in
this country whose people can not en-
joy a variety of fruits and vegetables
at all seasons. We now have great
systems of transportation and,
through dehydratipn, cold storage,
canning and drying, the abundance of
fruits and vegetables of certain sec-
tions is made available for all.
"In order to be beneficial, fruits
and vegetables should be served with
the least possible processing. That is,
the least cooking or processing,
changing the nature of the food, the
better. We need all the acids, vita-
mines and mineral salts just as na-
ture put them together. One of the
most important steps toward giving
us practically fresh fruits and vege-
tables at all seasons is the present-
day process of de-hydrating these
foods. This permits of the fruit being
gathered when at its prime and sub-
jected to the very mild process of
simply removing the water, leaving a
product with all the healthful quali-
ties and flavor of freshly picked fruit
and finally served.
'We should eat to maintain health
as well as to the maintain life. If we
have health we are quite able to
enjoy long life. A liberal daily use of
fruits and vegetables is the master
key to health and achievement.
CANADIAN CHURCH 275 YEARS
OLD DESTROYED BY FIRE
Quebec, Que., Dec. 22.—Notre
Dame church, known as the Quebec
basilica, and originally established in
1647, was destroyed by fire here early
today. It was impossible to estimate
the damage but officials said the loss
was covered fully by insurance. The
church was one of the finest in Can-
ada and collected a wealth of artistic
treasures. Tho host and sacred vessels
were lost in the flames. The fire start-
ed from a short circuit in the elec-
trical wiring. A number of church and
convents in Canada were damaged by
fire recently but they were thought to
have been the work of incendiaries.
Mrs. W. K. Waller and son went to
Gatesville to spend the holidays with
her mothers, Mrs. R. F. Moore.
W. 0. Blankenship of Rains county
has been here this week to spend the
holidays with relatives anil aid time
friends.

New Principal
S. Ward School
Upon the resignation ot Prof.
J. W. Moscley at the close of tlie
South Word school for holiday
vacation preparatory to assuming
the county supcrintendency to
which lie was recently elected,
Mm George P. Brown has been
designated as principal of the
South Ward school.
Mrs. Brown is the daughter of the
late Kid. J. R. Darnall, prominent
pioneer educator. Christian minister
and writer of our county. She *.
highly educated and has had much
experience as a teacher She has been
teacher for several years in the Soutft
Ward school and has become a part
and parcel of that excellent grammar
school.
She has exerted a very helpful in-
fluence with Prof. Moseley and the
other teachers of the school in im-
proving its efficiency and she is con-
ceded to be admirably qualified to flili
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Prof. Moscley who stepped out ot
the position after a ten-year period
of service to take his place as the of-
ficial head of the public schools of our
great county. Mrs. Brown has tne
honor of thus becoming the first wo-
man principal that the McKinney
public schools have ever had.
The other teachers of this sclioof
are Miss Fayc Maione, Miss Rebecca
Lovell, Miss Aline Strother, Miss Inez
Strother, Miss Camille Kmerson ana
Miss Alta Davis.
The South Ward school is very bad-
ly crowded. Two rooms under the
Misses Strother have a total attend-
ance of 110. On account of the rapid
growth of South McKinney, the need
of more room to the South Ward
school is a very serious handicap to
its best work and progress. If die
proopsed $100,000 bond issue to bo
voted on Jan. 20 carries, two more
rooms will be added to the Soutn
Ward school.
Mrs. M. T. McGarr of this city is in
receipt of a telegram bearing the sad
message of the death of her brother,
R. A. Cromer, who died suddenly at
his home at Etowah, Tenn. The dp-
ceased was a Mississippian by birth
and came to Texas in 1878. He was a
cotton buyer in Ardmore, Okla., for
eighteen years and owned a hotel at
Hubbard City, Texas. He then en-
paged in the grocery business at
Honey.Grove, Texas, selling out there
and going back to Tennessee. He
owned a large farm and some city
property in his home city, where he
died. He is survived by a wife and
one child and by three sisters—Mrs.
M. T. McGarr of McKinney; Mrs. W.
B. Claiborne, of Honey Grobe, Texas;
and Mrs. Levi Gaylor of Paris, Texas.
He is also survived by one brother, J.
C. Cromer, of McKinney. The de-
ceased was a devout Christian and
church worker, being a member of the
Baptist Church. The McKinney sis-
ter and brother, as well as other rel-
atives, have the sympathy of our read-
ers in their bereavement.

Owing to illness from typhoid fever,
my husband has been obliged to be

nation from the loyal Knghts of the

"Mr. Albert Knowles,
Dear Sir:
We regret exceedingly to hear of

the good people at the Cotton Mill
where my husband was employed has
proven to. us that "Every cloud, no
matter how dark, has a silver lining."
Thanking the loyal Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan, and invoking God's
blessings upon thein and their wonder-
ful works of mercy, we are

MOONSHINER WITH HORSE
OUTRUNS AUTOMOBILE
Cairo, 111.. Dec. 25.—The speed of a
horse and buggy driven by a "moon-
shiner" suspect was pitted against the
speed of an automobile bearing Sher-
iff Roche and several deputies in their
race with Arthur Lampe, a farmer
living near Gale, fifteen miles north
of here, whom tho officers pursued
more than twenty miles through the
northern part of Alexander county.
The horse won.
The officers had arrested a man on
his farm near Gale, where they also
met Lampe, against whom also a war-
rant charging violation of the prohi-
bition law had been issued. Lampe
hurried to his farm, hitched up his
horse and buggy and the race was on
over soft lanes and hard roads,
through cornfields and furrowed acres.
Then the buggy was mired and Lampe
cut the harness loose. Galloping
across the field with bareback rider's
skill, Lampe bid his pursuers good-
bye. The warrant was then turned
over to a Constable with wishes for
better luck.
DENTON HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Denton, Dec. 25.—Fire of unknown
origin destroyed the home of M. A.
Gay here today. The loss was about
$6,000 with $3,500 insurance.
Rev. and Mrs. Alvin O. Rue went

neer settlers of Eastern Denton coun-
ty.
Amid beautiful flowers and ferns banked blgli on the stage of the Blacks
Btono theater, Chicago, and before an audience In which there were few dry
eyes, Frnnk Bacon, famous actor, loved by millions as "Lightnin' Bill," th«
character of his own creation, made his last appearance. When the curtain
rolled down the finale of the actor's great career had been written and he had
Ftarted on the journey which eventually will take him back to his beloved hills
of his native California. The photograph shows the coffin being taken from
the theater to Its temporary tomb.
