Whether baking or cooking, or both—just
put the food in the ALLMUR, turn the switch,
and forget about the next meal until time to
serve it.
No slaving over a stifling fire, no long hours in
the kitchen—the ALLMUR does away with all the
hot, tiring work of cooking.
When sufficient heat has been generated, the
current is shut off automatically. Rut the cook-
ing or baking goes right on. Food can not burn
and does not need watching.
An ALLMUR Automatic means leisure hours,
and food that tastes better because it is cooked

Our annual picnic at Oak Hill
'last Friday was a success, and
everyone seemed to enjoy them-
selves all day.
First we were entertained by
a welcome address by Miss Ger-
trude Reed, one of our Oak Hid
high school girls.
Song, "America" by school.
Next was a very touching ad-
dress by the editor of the Bas-
trop Advertiser, who entertain-
ed us for quite a while. One
thing he impressed upon us
mostly was the result of a
child's prayer.
After dinner was served we
had a splendid talk from Sena-
tor Page, whi' I was enjoyed by
ail. After h.'m came another
good speech by Judge Staples,
formerly of Smithville, but now
Secretary of State. We were in-
deed glad to have him with us.
Next came an address by a
newspai er man from Austin.
His talk was well delivered. The
! Cemetery Association met in a
business session to elect offi-
cers and were fortunate to have
an address by Mrs. E. H. Jen-
i kins of Bastrop. Mr. B. B. Mor-
gan of Del Valle had the right
to run the cold drink stand,
paying the Association $25.00
for the same, and as the day
was very warm he and his clerks
were kept busy. At 4 o'clock
a ball game was played between
Bastrop and McDade, Bastrop
being victorious.
We all enjoy the annual pic-
nic, but as each year glides by,
and we look through the crowd
it hat gathers, there is always a
'familiar face bsent, never to
imeet with us again on this
(earth. This year it was the
face of our dear friend, Mrs.
Will Kelton. After a long ill-
jness she passed on to her last
resting place a short time be-
fore the gathering, and in be-
half of the Association and all
the community we wish to ex-
Jtend our heartfel: sympathy to
the bereaved family.
We take this means to thank
all who assisted in any way to
make our picnic a success, and
hoping all will have the pleas-
ure of meeting again, we will
close.

In Honor of Her Guest.
Little Miss Annie lliggins
Trigg was hostess to her many
friends one evening last week,
i in Ijonor of her guest, M\ss
Mary Agnes Erhard. The beau-
tiful home of Robert Trigg was
for a short time transformed
into a little paradise, where the
happiness of childhood reigned
supreme. .Games, refreshments
and merry-making furnished en-
tertainment for the young la-
dies.
Old ties of friendship were
strengthened and many new
ones made, as Mary Agnes was
i added to the list of friends ot
each one present.

Last Friday C. E. Turner,
manager of the Turner Lumber
Co., came to town wearing a
smile that ei-.circled him with a
halo of glory. Upon inquiry,
Clarence proudly announced,
"IT IS A BOY," whereupon he
was the recipient of many con-
gratuations, and was invited to
take his seat among the peers
of the land.
The little fellow is enjoying
life the very finest kind, and in
a very short time he expects t<>
be found on duty filling his sta-
tion in life.
God never blessed manhood or
womanhood with higher or Ho-
lder station in life than parent-
hood.
This ho.ne has one of hea-
ven's greatest gifts in it, to
challenge the highest and no-
blest in both father and mo;her,
that its life may be directed in
paths of rectitude and right.
Tin* advertiser extends congrat-
ulations to these young people.
May God bless them in their ef-
forts to rear for the world a fu-
ture citizen; may they realize in
him their fondest hopes and
dreams. The Advertiser joins
the many friends in extending
congratulations to Mr. and Mrs.
Turner.
for his dare-devil deeds in mid-
air. He will in all probability
be one of the attractions for the
Bastrop county fair.

Return
Bastrop was well represented
at the B. V. P. 1". Encampment
at I'alacios. The party made
the trip by auto and report it
to have been a very pleasant
and profitable one. Those who
attended from Bastrop are as
follows: Mrs. S. J. Orgain, Mr.
and Mrs. M. B. Orgain. R 'v. C.
M. Murphy and family.
W. B. Schandler of Houston,
was in Bastrop the first part of
the week visiting his childhood
home. Mr. Schandler is another
one of Bastrop county's boys
who have made good.
He was for two years in
France in the aviation corps do-
ing observation work. This of-
ten called for some very danger-
ous adventures, as he was sent
across the enemies line to gain
knowledge for our army.
The young man is one of those
modest, fearless young heroes
who risked his all for his conn-
try, but claims no honor for
himself.
He at present is connected
vith an automobile distributing
concern.
Since leaving the service he
has been doing stunt flying and
has won quite a little notoriety
1 he U. I). C. met in regular
session at the home of Mrs. B.
D. Orgain July Gth, with the
following members present:
Mesdames B. D. Orgain, Robt.
Gill, Thompson Rector, A. L.
Morris, Lee Simmons and Robt.
Myers.. The secretary being
absent, Mrs. Myers was appoint-
ed secretary pro tem. After roll
call the business session was
held and the program for the
afternoon given. The president
read a letter from Mrs. Mull, the
State president, in regard to the
year's work and the coming an-
nual meeting in November. This
will be the 25th annual meeting
and should be largely attended.
The Chapter wishes to place in
the Bastrop public school a pic-
ture of Wood row Wilson and to
present to one ot our rural
schools a picture of General Lee,
two great men, whose lives are
worthy models for the youth of
our land. Mrs. Gill was appoint,
ed chairman of a committee to
arrange for these matters. Mrs.
Gill reported that 53 Confeder-
ate soldiers are laid to rest in
our cemetery, Fairview, and the
Chapter will hereafter see that
their graves are remembered on
the National Memorial Day.
The program was interesting.
The reading of "Old days in the
South," "An Autumn Idyl" by
Mrs. Simmons, being especially
good. The Chapter early in the
year resolved to pay one dollar
or more each, to the building of
the Tuberculosis Hospital at
Kerrville. Some members have
not jiaid anything yet. Surely
each one can give something for
the bene!it of the .sick soldiers
of the late war. There are two
apj lications for membership,
and many more who are eligible
would be gladly welcomed to
this Chapter. The regular meet-
ings are held the first Wednes-
day in each month, at the home
of Mrs. B. I). Orgain, and any
who wish to attend are welcome.
