ably did the work of local report-

nine months, resigned her posi-

To }he People of Palacios and
Country:—
I have been appointed tick in-
spector for this community. I
am unable to announce the dip-
ping days in this week's Beacon,
but will try and get started the
first of next week at the Hamlin
vat west of town.
All cows, and calves must be
dipped regardless of whether
they have ticks or not, and all
horses loose or range must also
be dipped. Work stock, if kept
up, will be inspected and if free
from ticks will not be dipped.
If you have one horse or one
mule with ticks you will have to
dip your whole bunch,
Dipping days for Palacios will
be posted in the postoffice win-
dow probably the middle of next
week. The man who har one
cow will be treated as courteous-
ly as the man with 1000 head.
All cows in the city of Palac-
ios will have to be dipped, so
watch for the dipping days.
The people in the country will
be notified by phOne, if you have
one, otherwise by me personally.
Now let's all pull together and
get through with this work. So
bring everything on your place
in the cow line and also bring all
range horses. If you have a
stray in your pasture bring it.
You may dip at any vat you
please. Guy Stulting.

Surprises for Mrs. Doxtater
and Mrs. Henry Fox.
Mrs. Olive Doxtater and Mrs.
Henry Fox, who expect to short-
ly go to Dunkirk, Ind., to make
their home, have been the recip-
ients of many pleasing festivities
given in their honor.
The Methodist Missionary So-
ciety, of which these ladies have
been valued and well-loved work-
ers, was the first to show their
appreciation. They came with
baskets of delicious lunch and
gave Mrs. Doxtater and Mrs.
Fox a surprise spending the af-
ternoon in visiting and with con-
tests.
The members of the Lutheran
Aid also planned a surprise for
these members of their society,
Mesdames Doxtater and Fox.
They spent a most enjoyable af-
ternoon with contests after which
all did justice to an elaborate
lunch.
As a token of the love and es-
teem in which the Royal Neigh-
bors hold Mrs. Doxtater, who has
been their efficient oracle for the
past ten years, they presented
her with some silver articles and
a dainty little "Memory Book."
The hostess, Mrs. Ruthven then
served dainty refreshments.
These ladies have been' faith-
ful workers in these organiza-
tions and will be remembered as
always being found at their posts,
willing and glad to do their parts.

OF PERCALE AND DIMITY

L'olka dotted percale and white
checked dimity make this pretty
dress for little missy. It is In two
pieces. The blouse of the dlrnlty has
a Peter Pan collar and tiu-n-back cuffs
adorned with feather stitching of silk
floss. A white silk cord ending In
small tassels Is laced across the front
of the bodice and a patch pocket at
one side maintains that practical
things can be pretty.
SUBTLETIES OF 8UCCE8S
"A little flattery brings advance-
ment more rapidly than service for
the public good," remarked the cynical
courtier.
"Why do you say so?"
"Because Walter Raleigh stepped
Into prosperity by spreading his cloak
on the ground for the queen to walk
on. He nover would have gotten any-
where If he had started an agitation
Hot a good roads movement."
The Safe Majority.
"You have not given up hope for the
human race?"
"No," said the tireless upllfter.
"Statistics show that more than 00 per
cent of the people never get their
hands on enough money to go to the
<J<Ws In a spectacular manner and the
others furnish good lecture material
as h6rrlble examples."

dition Is the cellar? Is It wet?
Salesman: Say! Waddayuh ex-
pect fer $10,000?
Just Think of That.
Why sulk and snivel o'er your lot?
Why weakly «lgh and fret?
Ch&cr up! The more you haven't got

"Will you leave politics?" Inquired
the sympathetic friend.
"Nobody leaves politics," replied
Senator Sorghum. "Everybody stays
till he gets left."
A Match for It.
Doctor—Your wife Is threatened
with bronchitis, but sfye has a fighting

Mr. Peck—She has, eh? Well, then,
she won't have bronchitis.

"So your efforts to win the beautiful

"Fruitless? I can't say that exactly.

"What will be Senator Snort-

"That's hard to say. The narrative
of the senator's achievements Is limited

Since nobody reads that ponderous

be equally negligent."
