Commissioners
Do Away With
Extension Work
During last v<jek's sitting of
the Commissioners' Court of Mat-
agorda County, an order was
passed to discontinue the work of
the county agent, that of home
demonstration agent and the col-
ored demonstration agent, effect-
ive July 16th.
These positions have been filled
by E. D. Harris, Miss Genevieve
Miller and Pinkie Harris, the
work being done consisting of
farm demonstration work, home
demonstration work and demon-
stration work amongst the ne-
groes of the county.
The Court gives as its reasons
the expense of the work and a
desire to put the county on as
economic a base as possible.—

The Highway
Amendment
Badly Needed
If you are in favor of a connect-
ed system of highways that are
built with State and Federal aid
permanently maintained and con-
trolled by the State, thereby re-
lieving the Commissioners' Court,
also relieving you any further
tax on account bond issues, etc.,
the cost of maintaining the State
highways in your county, then
don't fail to vote for the High-
way Amendment July 28th, and
if you want to know more about
this, write for information to the
Highway Amendment Campaign-
Special Committee, W. S. Wha-
ley, Chairman, Cleburne, Texas;
Wm. T. Wheeler, Secy.-Treas.
Texas Highway Association, 1910
F. & M. Bank'Bldg., Fort Worth,
This Amendment provides a
way for every citigen of Texas to
pay his pro-rata part of the road
systems of the State that he uses
wherever he may be, and it re-
duces the cost of maintaining
roads by the local residents of
any given section.

_ The crops in this community
look fine, especially the corn.
Cotton is doing nicely and" the
farmers are getting it in good
condition.
Last Tuesday was the last
stock dipping day in this com-
munity, and the farmers gener-
ally are glad of it, especially dur-
ing the very busy times in their
fields.
Our accommodating rural mail
carrier, Bob Terry, is off on his
annual vacation, and the genial
smile of Slick Williams beams at
us as we buy red postage stamps
of him. .
Wedding bells galore were
tinkling Saturday and Sunday,
when Irene Lee and a Mr. Carl,
or Carrol were married Saturday
night, and on Sunday, we learn
that Pearl Houston and Lee
Tompkins were married.
Mayor Campbell, of Palacios,
proved a real good Samaritan to
us last Saturday. We had start-
ed with our wife, daughter and
two grandchildren to the John
H. Smith sale, when a tire on our
car blew out a short distance
south of Blessing, and only thirty
minutes to spare before the sale
commenced, Mr. Campbell came
along and offered to take us
down to . Palacios, and leaving
the bunch to get back to Bless-
ing the best way they could, we
accepted his offer, got to the sale
in plenty of time. We thank
you, Mr. Campbell, and if we
ever find you in like destitute
circumstances, we surely will en
deavor to contribute as liberally
to your relief, as you did to ours.
DodbeBrothers
TOURING CAR
If there is one word which will sum up the
average owner's impression of Dodge
Brothers Touring Car, that word is
dependable.
If there is a word to express the quality
which Dodge Brothers have striven,"above
all else, to build into the Touring Car, it is
—again—dependable.
Indeed, it is not too much to say that the
wo^d dependable has come to be definitely
associated, the nation over, with Dodge
Brothers Touring Car—and the other
vehicles bearing their name.
Nor have Dodge Brothers built this enviable
reputation through advertising. They have
built motor cars, so dependable in fact
that the word has presented itself auto-
matically to the public mind.

President Harding is trying to
get the problems of the farmer
from first hand sources, in his
Western trip, when he mounts
the binder in the harvest fields
of Kansas and works with the
real dirt farmers, to learn how
it goes. The farmers' problems
can be solved more efficiently
than any other way, when they
stop sending pot-bellied politi-
cians, two by four lawyers and
unscrupulous nincompoops to our
legislatures and Congress. When
we find some fellow who can't
earn his salt at anything else,
we let him wheedle us into send-
ing him to the legislature or
congress. All a very large per
cent of those we do send, do, is
keep their chair warm, try to
look wise, draw their salary and
lay plans to catch the sucker
vote for another term.
Don't kill the birds. Let us
have a closed season on all of
them, closed forever, too. A few
weeks ago we had a field of
40 acres litterally alive with
grasshoppers, big ones, little
ones, medium sized ones, black,
gtey, green and striped ones, A
great big flock of blackbirds
came to roost in the trees on the
farm, they chattered and twit-
tered around over the fields for
three or four days, and left. We
don't believe you could fill a pint
cup with grasshoppers they left.
Don't kill the birds,\the best
friends the farmer has. Post
your lands andthe first duck that
comes onto it and shoots a bird,
get him for trespass. Too many
of our so called game wardens
are a joke. What we need is men
who will enforce the game laws.

Palomar Band
Camp Palomar Band, like the
Academy Band, is creating a
great deal of interest among the
students as well as the people of
Palacios. The first rehearsal
gave promise of a good future
for the band. The boys were
very enthusiastic over their
night's work. Their jolly spirit
seemed to have been shsft-ed by
the small yet appreciative audi-
ence which had been attracted
almost unconsciously by the irre-
sistible swing of the snappy
1 marches which the boys played
with apparent ease for their first
time.
Definite steps have been taken
toward organization and within
a short time we hope to be able
to make marked progress. Al-
ready we have been assured of
some good things that are in
store for us and we are going to
do our best so that these good
things may come our way.
