STOP THAT COUGH
A neglected cough or cold may
develop into pneumonia. It is a
good plan to take something for
it when the cold or cough first
appears. There is nothing bet-
ter for this purpose than
Mentholated Compound Syrup
White Pine With Tar
It should also be taken for the
relief of bronchitis, hoarsness
and loss of voice,

i thought for the week
A stubborn, irritable frame of
Imind—mistaken described as "an
ndependent spirit"—is another
Icommon hindrance to success,
he young man afflicted with it
i likely to be also of a somewhat
ceited, self-satisfied turn. He
es not begin his business ca- i
freer in the receptive attitude j
Lvery beginner should show. I
Mien he makes mistakes—and j
beginners makes mistakes— I
jie resents having his attention j
ailed to them. He takes criti
fcism ao insults. Hence he soon
ecomes impossible as an em-
ploye and intolerable as an as-
sociate, Equally his own worst
enemy is the young man who
starts business life with no ade-
quate sense of personal respon-
sibility. Lacking this, he prom-
ises but fails to perform . He
makes appointments and is
either late for them or forgets
them altogether. He i.-, indiffer-
ent to business details, perhaps
to the extent of causing his
employer serious loss. He sure
that such a young man is for-
ever under tlir necessity . f

Mrs. \ slxheil. It was certainly
no use to tails to Joy.
Two weeks later, Joy went to New
Hampshire for her usual autumn va-
cation with her grandmother. She ex-
pected to have a better time than ever
this year, because her grandmother had
written to tell her that there was a
house-party about half a mile away,
the party was chieily made up of
young people.
'liiey were a jolly crowd and she en-
joyed herself immensely, but all were
glad, to rest for dinner. While Joy
wus dressing, Christina James, one of
her young hostesses, came Into the
room.
"You look tine, Joy," she said after
surveying her guest. "I want you to
look your best tonight, because a man
has Just come, whom we want you to
meet. He's tlu* catch of the season,
dear, and as lie doesn't care especially
about any of us, we want you to see
what you can do."
At dinner, therefore, Joy was Intro-

suddenly, 'on seeing him. Where hart
slit; ever seen such a man before? He
was i; II and light, with sympathetic
darii'brown eyes, m wonderful smile,
add an eoyagliii.' personality.
Oil the other hand, Joy, herself was
a bewitching little creature. She had
quantities of wavy, chestnut hair, vio-
let eyes, and a clear, transparent com-
plexion. King W , who admired
pretty faces exceedingly, immediately
attached himself to her and rarely left
her side daring the evening, while the
other guests nodded their heads and
smiled knowingly.
For the next few days, she was in
the seventh heaven. Every place that
she went, she was accompanied by
King, who proved to be wonderfully
congenial. II may be added here that
he was always thus with every girl he
knew—it was this way that endeared
him to all the feminine sex.
It developed that he had a wonder-
fully mellow voice and nobody but Joy
could play his accompaniment's* suit-
ably.
Two days before she was to go home
Joy went back to her grandmother's to
stay there for the remaining time.
King was a constant visitor, and she
became more and more enraptured.
At the end of her vacation Joy came
home, her head completely enveloped
In clouds. She did not notice ltov's'ab-
sence until her mother, who had wait-
ed for her to ask where he was, volun-
teered tlx' information that he was
away on business.
One day after her return King call-
ed. He decorously acknowledged Joy's
introduction to her mother, antf after
the latter left he talked pleasantly for
10 or 15 minutes.
"I dime to tell you something," Miss
Joy," he said.
Joy's heart fluttered. She felt that
she could guess what he wanted to say.
He went on.
"You know," he said, "It has been in-
evitable thuf I marry some day, and
my mother promised that she would
help me In the search for # suitable
wife. I may tell you now that she has
succeeded." Joy gasped as he took a
picture out of his pocket and showed
it to her. "You see, mother is ah—
rather particular and her Judgment in
finally picking (bis girl shows her ex-
cellent taste. The girl Is a dream, is
she not, Miss Joy? Of course, it goes
without^ saying that she Is rich. Mother
would never allow me to marry a poor
girl. Why. Miss Joy, are you faint!
Your lovely color has completely dis-
appeared."
"Oh, I'm nil right," .Toy managed to
answer. Although her eyes were irrev-
ocably'opened to the kind of creature
her former Idol was. she pulled herself
together and remained calm until the
end of his visit. Finally he took his
leave and courteously hade Mrs. N——
farewell.
Meanwhile Roy hastened upstairs
and burst into the room where Joy
was. To his surprise she was lying
fnee dovrftward on the sofa. He ■ -
proaehed and kneeling beside her gent-
ly lifted her head. She started nt
seeing him, but It was a happy surprise,
for Joy had found that Ideals aren't
"all they're cracked up to be."
At suppertime she came down with •
solitaire gleaming on her finger. Her
mother looked at it and smiled nteful-
''"Whlch one, Joy?" she asked. "Have
yon found your ideal In Mr. W '
'Tooh!" Joy answered, smiling ra-
diantly. "Whom do you suppose! At

The record of marriage licens-
es issued by the County Clerk of
Dallas county during the month
of October, just past, shows that
Don Cupid did a much larger
business than in the correspond-
ing month of last year. In fact
the number lof licenses for Octo-
ber, 1919 was nearly double that
of the same month last year, or
430 as compared to 224.
The increase of marriages is
due in a large measure to the
fact that many men of marriage-
able age were overseas in Octo-
ber, 1^18, whereas nearly all of
the soldiers ark? at home now.
Monday First Rainless
Day In State of Texas
From Texarmna, in the north-
east, to Brownsville in the south-
west, from Daljhart in the north-
west to Orangt on the Gulf in
the southeast-Hn fact the whole
vast domain * of Texas—was
rainless Monday, for the first
little in a month «r more. Of
course it had not rained during
the past month-I everywhere in
Texas on every day, but during
October it rained nearly every
dav everywhere, and somewhere
in Texas it was raining every
day.

Mundu, and that tli: sun was

/Ml indications point to the
fact that good cotton seed are
going to be hard to obtain next
year, due to the fact that the ex-
cessive rains in October ruined
so much of the cotton.
Many of the big companies
that make a specialty of grow-
ing fine seed for sale have had
their crops ruined, including the
Mebane Cotton Seed Co., of
Lockhart, the head of this com-
pany being the originator of the
variety that bears his name.
Those who fret their seed this
fall will probably have no dif-
ficulty in obtaining plenty of
good seed, but those who put it
tdl until late in the winter or
early spring are apt to encounter
difficulty and even if they find
good .seed, the price is pretty
•-ure to be very high.

Place Of Text Books
New York, Nov. 4—D. Apple-
ton ^ Company, one of the lead-
ing publishers of school and col-
lege textbooks, and the educa-
tional department of the Uni-
versal Film Manufacturing Co.,
have joined forces to make mo-
tion pictures practical and im-
portant part of instructions in
schools and colleges.
This is the first comprehensive
movement to put the ideal meth-
od of instruction into the schools
in a big way. No educator ques-
tions that the screen method is
the ideal method of instruction.
Printed words at their best
only create mental images—
films are all images. Teacher
draws diagrams—in films the
diagrams come to life. The
screen way is a painless method
of education—films entertain
while they instruct,
l.t vey predicts that within a
few years eighty per cent of the
schools of the United States will
be using educational films to an
extent today little dreamed of.
He holds that films are soon to
revolutionize the entire system
of education.
If motion pictures can teach
arithmetic—and that they can
has been demonstrated by no
less authority than the Depart-
ment of Education of the United
States Government—think what
the screen can do with the sub-
ject such as geography, history,
botany, zoology and physiology.
Chance For Ladies
To Pay Poll Tax

E. W. Lasater, sdn of Dr. R.
H. Lasater of Lawson and well
known through this entire sec-
tion of the county, became in-
volved in a difficulty with Isa-
dore Zadik, a public stenograph-
er who occupied the same office
with him in the Slaughter butlo
ing.in Dallas, Saturday morning,
resulting in Zadik , being shot by
Lasater. from the -rifccts of
which lie died the following day.
Zadik is survived by his wife and
three children.
E. W. Lasater was reared at
Lawson, but for the past few
years has been engaged in the
real estate business in Dallas.
He has made no statement as
to how the trouble occurred, but
it is reported that the difficulty
came up ov^r a dispute as to the
division of the office space be-

ter surrendered to the Sheriff.
He was charged with assault
to murder and was released the
same day on bond furnished by
relatives. Zadik died at 8:30
Sunday night, and that made it
necessary for Lasater to be re-
arrested, this time on a charge
of murder. Learning of Zadik's
death, he voluntarily surrender-
ed again, and was taken to the
county jail, pending the result
of the examining trial which was
set first for Tuesday, but post-
poned until Thursday.
The Mesquiter does not know
anything about the circum-
stances that led up to the shoot-
ing. However, we do know,
that in spite of any faults he
may have, E. W. Lasater pos-
sesses many admirable trails.
On his own account and on ac-
count of his father and brothers
and sisters, who are held in high
esteem, their friends naturally
hope for a favorable outcome of
the affair.
Tax Collector Here
Friday And Saturday
County Tax Collector Chas. A.
Tosch has advised the Mesquiter
that he will be here today and
tomorrow, Friday and Saturday,
Nov. 7 and 8, for the purpose of
collecting state and county tax-
es.
He will be at the First Nation-
al Bank for the two days men-
tioned, prepared to wait on
those who call, and save them a
trip to Dallas.
He asks the tax payers to
bring with them the statement
recently mailed them, as that
will enable them to wait on the
people faster.
Autocratic Inference
"1 guess we'll cut out that
line of my speech," said Senator
Sorghum, "about my being a
public servant."
t "It is a good old phrase."
"Yes, but it has had its day.
As household relationships go
just now, claiming to be a ser-
vant sound, just a trifie bossy."

"and the greatest
of these is love"
When a mother loves, though
she be a queen, she becomes in-
terested in soap and water,
sheets and blankets, boots and
clothing and many other mun-
dane things. And when the
church loves she will have some-
thing to say about rents and wa-
ges, house and workshops, food
tnd clothing, gardens, drains,
medicine, and many other things.
Where the Churche's mother
love? Where is her fierce motker
wrath, as she sees the children
trampled in the mire? It is easy
to go to Church and to abstain
from drinking, swearing, and
gambling, but it is not easy to
love. Love brings labor, and
sorrow, and self-sacrifice. Love
sometimes says, "Sell all them
thou hast, and distribute unto
the the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven; and come,
follow Me." This is not like
going to a home missionary
meeting and giving the price of
a meal to the collection. It is
leaving beautiful houses, and
pictures, and gardens, and mtt-
\ and going into mean street?
and dirty dwellingsi. • It is leav
