thoughts worth while
Rut Peter said vjnt< him. Thy money
perish with thee, becaus« thou ha.-t
the light that the gift of God may *
purchased with money. Acts-8c-20*v.
To cure us t f our immoderate love
f f vain, we should seriously consider
fc('\v many >:oods there are that money
will not purchase, and these the l>est,
find how many c\ils there hit that
mrney will not remedy, and these the
worst. —Colton.

They read advertisements regular-

Advertisements are the wise coun-
sellors in the spending of money that
the clever housewife heeds daily.
The Business of running a home is
made easier by reading the advertise-
ments.
PICKED \t r whom
It is a mistake to suppose that a
certain ad is a failure, merely becau <
you do not "see" returns. It does not
"jerk", it "pulls".
_____ o
Many men invest in mortgages or
at four percent, and yet think
their advertising doe- not pay unless
they can sec a hundred percent re-
turns next day
Tht so-called test ad to set if it
pays, reminds one of the fellow th.it
struck the match to see if he had any
gasoline-b >th blow up right there.

Every good impression made by
your advertising in the mind of the in
dividual is "results" obtained though
as yet unseen. Go on and finish the
job by pouring in a continuous stream
of good impressions until the customer
is landed.
PROOF POSITIVE III AT BASTROP
PRICES ARP LOW ER
The Bastrop Advertiser carried an
ad for the .1. M. Holt Co. in the lasr
sue advertising a certain
$45.00. An identical ad in
the Austin American, issue of June
10th. by an Austin firm priced the
same trunk at $4s.i«.r>.
This is proof positive that the Bas-
trop merchants sell the better cla-s
of merchandise at a lower figure.

coinciding features, very nearly 17.-

amined
But a criminal may leave other
marks than those of hl« tingtrs lie

be as valuable as u signature. The
print of a bare foot Is almost as char

are not only the marks left by the
shoes of the criminal In soft ground,
in blood stains or on certain pieces of
fumituro— marks which may serve to
Identify him because of the position of
the shoe nails or the manner In which
the heels or soles are worn down;

derer and his victim are of valuable
assistance to the Investigators.

many questions arise involving the

A public nie"ting place should by
i il means be a part c.f our town. The
progress of Bastrop is every body's
business and every body should see to
it that it is attended to. A general
pet together meeting of the business
men and citizens occasionally is bound
to be good for the town.
Git that organization going now,
we need it.
TIME TO TALK BASTROP
COUNTY FAIR
Tht Fair season is beginning
show up and plans should be discus-
sed for the 5th. annual Bastrop Fan.
Its true that the outlook from a
crop standpoint has not been the best
however if you can't have a big or
>ve should at least have r. little one
according to the pocketbook.
The past two f airs were success-
ful from every point of view. The
1!C* Fair can be made the most suc-
cessful of all.
It is hoped that a meeting of the
directors will soon be ■ ailed and a
stf.rt made towards thb yearly event
Indians Feared Retulte
of Eating Wild Turkey
Buffalo meal was, of course, the
mainstay and universal dish of the
plains Indians now, dried. Jerked,
dried and pounded in the form of
pemmlcau of wasna, as the Sioux
called it: sometimes mixed w ith ber
lies gathered by the syuaws. but gen
erally "Just plain wasna," explains
Frank M. Huston in Adventure Maga-
ilm-
The iiuiiip and tongue were the
choicest portions when fresh, though
the latter was dried bj thousands.
Of course, in their season roots and
tul>ers, as well as wild fruits espe-
cially wild plums—added to the larder.
Sometimes wild grapes were added to
give a dessert finish; but no Indian
would eat apples when first Introduced
to them, nor would the men eat the
j wild turkey lest they become cowaru-
j(, I ly as the bird Itself. They believed—
as do our dietitians— that "a man is
what he eats."
WASHINGTON, June 10, 1! 25.-
Storm wave of week centering on
June. 17 and period following this
storm wave are expected to com-
prise the most important period of
the season's cropweather. Drouth
conditions will be felt, with th< ex-
pected heat of first half of June and
the moisture I expect to be received
during June 1"> to 25 will be an abso-
lute necessity in large areas of cen-
tral. southern and south western
United States and western Canada.
1 expect transcontinental -torm of
week centering on June 17 to be pre-
ceded by an intense heat wave and
to bo followed by a sharp ct • 1 wave
and general precipitation over nor-
thern areas. During week centering
on June 22 a storm of considerable
force is expected to enter from the
southwest, which, as it comes in con-
tact with the high pressure area ex-
Fish to the plains tribes was al- pec-ted to cover northern great cen-
tral valleys during thi- period, will
cause general raim and probably
heavy local showers in southwest
and southcentral United Stat< s. This
most anathema, though some would
eat It when placed before them. But
none would ever demean himself hy
exertions in fishing. Meat was a
man's food and "makes us strong."
'onditions will not be established in
sufficient power to withstand the
storm forces of this |«eriod.
Jupiter will control the crop-
weather of June K to 31 and the us-
ual effects of this powerful magnet,
when in an effective position, are to
pull or lift the earths atmosphere
over and around the point of con-
tact. causing extensive areas of ex-
ceedingly low barometric pressure
with heavy local rains and frequently
dangerous storms in localities on the
outer edge of low pressure areas and
nearest the predominating high
pressure area. The topography or
lay of the land -o influences the
movement of storm forces as to make
forecasting of dangcrou-- storms, to
a given locality, impractical as a
feature of my cropweather forecasts

STRANDED
IN THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT
These days we teem to hear a good deal about beiruj in
the middle of a great desert. But it isn't very serious
It is nothing like the real thing. It is nothing comp«r
ed to being overwhelmed with real, pressing obligation* «ru'
nothing with which to meet them.
The man who keeps a well tended savings account
never financially stranded. He has nj debts he can't meet
and he is on his way to independence.
