STRAIGHT TO THE POINT
the

ITY LIVING ROOMCONTEST
CLOSES, WINNERS ANNOUNCED
I he "Trade at Home" phrase has Hone a lot of over-
time duty in newspapers of the country, but as sound doctrine
it never becomes frayed nor frazzled through incessant use.
Below are a number of reasons WHY the progressive
newspaper eternally preaches Trade at Home":
Fifty-two times a year the publishers of The Advertiser
send you a well-printed, well-edited paper, containing as
much helpful and interesting reading matter as can be con-
sistently gathered together.
f ifty-two times a year this paper is addressed and wrap-
ped. \
Fifty-two times a year postage is paid Uncle Sam for
transmission through the mail.
Hfty-two times a year a weekly payroll of $90.00 is
paid for editorial and mechanical work.
1 welve times a year paper and printing supply houses are
paid for materials.
I welve times a year office rent and numerous other ex-
penses incidental to publishing a newspaper are paid.
And for all this our subscribers contribute $1.50 each
per year. Naturally, the first thought is, how can it be done.
It is not the subscription money that makes it possible for us
to issue a good paper every week. It is a combination of sub-
scription and advertising patronage.
And now, getting down to the point—We want every
reader to realiz^jhat, without advertising, it would be impos-
sible to publish this paper. We want our subscribers to pa-
tronize Advertiser advertisers. The more you trade at home
and patronize our advertisers, the more you personally will
benefit, not only as to the investment of your money by
keeping dollars in circulation in Bastrop, but by reason of
assisting us to build for you a better newspaper. And it is an
accepted rule that no city can progress faster than its news-
paper.
1 urn now to the advertising columns ar.d see if you can't
till all your requirements by patronizing our advertisers and
your home firms. Every one of them is guaranteed to be
honest and trustworthy.
1 ry this and watch results carefully. Thank you!

SUNDAY SCHOOL DAY AT
METHODIST CHI RCH
In place of the regular morning
services at the Methodist Church 1
; next Sunday, the members of the
Methodist Sunday school will present
their annual Sunday School program
j at eleven o'clock.
According to Hev. Dihrell, pastor,
the program will be gotten up from
j the various departments, and a cor-
dial invitation is extended to every-
body, especially to non-members of
'the Sunday School.
The Senior class play is in the
making. If practice makes perfect
the play will be a model for drama-
tic performances. I feel sure tho
legitimate stage corporations and
the movie companies will flood this
year's senior class with contracts as
soon as news is spread abroad that
we have such able actors and act-
resses. Even in practice Charley
Bess Wilkes portrays a "vaudeville
(Jueen" until ihe audience feels sure
RKO circuit must be minus one of
the head-Ai ne ^ acts. |As for a
freshman, fresh, timid, verdant, and
consciencious, Zac Lentz could not
be beat. His voice carries well and
even those pt ople who arrive too
late to crowd into the auditorium,
will hear his lines.
Lina Sorge doesn't find it too hard
to act the part of Elyzahethe Maud-
elia Feeney, the helpful waitress in
a boy's rooming house.
Talk about a Yiddish robber—Vic-
tir Pfeiffer will make you clasp your
pocket-book a bit tighter for fear
ol having it taken away. If his
hands become paralyzed the night of
the play naturally you couldn't ex-
pect him to say a word.
"In the spring a young man's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love"
and to 'be .sentimentally romantic
you must see Coke Vest in the role
of Happy Jamieson, a college Romeo
of the first class.
Billy Edwards, as Bean Ca.4i.er,
will give you an idea as to how a
leader of a campus group can be a
good sport in spite of a reversed
joke.
The other members of the cast, do
admirable acting and you must be
present on the night of May 21st to
see the play.
Rice Balls
One quart milk (heated), one cup.
raisins, one cup sugar, two cups '
cooked rice, three eggs. Cinnamon
and salt to taste. Add buffer size of i
an egg. Place in buttered pudding '
and bake for one hour.
Miss Mary Jane Davis continues to
! lead in the race for Centennial Queen
! with a majority of 13,600 votes. The
i following was the count of votes at
I 10 o'clock this morning.

Ask for your tickets when you
make a purchase at any of the stores
in Bastrop, and do your part in help-
ing the citizens of the town elect
your queen.
Final arrangements are rapidly be-
ing made to get the centennial cele-
bration under way, and to make June
24 a date that will be remembered
and talked about when plans for the
bi-centennial of the town of Bastrop
are being made.
When you are asked by any mem-
ber of the committee in charge to
contribute a little of your time, and
help out, don't hesitate to do all you
can. The job is a big one, and one
that is attracting state-wide recogni
tion—the eyes of Texas are verily
turned full upon Bastrop to see what
she can do. And Bastrop can not
afford to disappoint her state.

EAST TEXAS SINGERS CONVEN-
TION TO MEET

iation Convention whose next annual

ance in the history of the organiza-
tion.

raised salaries and
ed the governmental expenses to
an extent that when the present
pression came, taxable values
creased and all sources of revenue
were curtailed, necessary funds to
carry on the various departments a id
functions of government were un
available and a large deficit was the
result.
With business at a very low ebb,
an extraordinary unemployment it
nation, a general lowering ot pre
in all lines made the question d
raising more revenue a most seriou
and difficult one. The land, hom«

Mi Lynn has
what no pre
had—a large
body of exact information with which
to work. This is understood, and the
understanding of it apparently has
brought forth the determination to
undertake a task whose magnitude
and difficulties have daunted every
Legislature within the last ten 'i'
twelve years. The prospect now is
bright that there will be a govern

not only a house cleaning but a fun

The split tax payment bill, was
i finally agreed on Friday by a free
, conference committee. It provid -s
that anyone that pays half Ms Stat"
and county taxes by November
of the year for which they are due
is given until the following June .10
in which to pay the other half, with-
out penalty or interest, but il ne
fails to pay the other half by June
,'i(), Id per cent penalty accrues and
taxes thereafter bear interest
ie rate of li pei cent until paid,
i bill furthi i provides that if
taxpayer does not pay halt by
H0, he will have until Jan :il in
h t.i pav .ill without penally an i
interest, but that if l:e does not pay
all then. 10 per cent penalty will '
crue on all of the taxes they will
theieaitei bear li per cent interest.
None of the taxes becomes leli i
quent until the first day of July fol
lowing the year for which they are
assessed.
1'he bill does not rhanue the da c
of the payment of the poll tax. Tb
taxpayer has until Jan :tl for thi-,
but if it i- not paid by then, a l'l
per cent penalty accrues and the tax
bears G per cent interest. I'hi.- bill
only cover the payment of state and
county taxes and Iocs not affej;
