TRAVELING MAW SATS COMING
EXPOSITION IS ATTRACTING
L MUCH ATTENTION.
George B. Clark, who travel* out of
Chicago, and whoee territory la Cen-
tral Texas, stated that wonderful In-
terest la being manifested over this
entire section In the Bell county fair;
that everywhere he goes he sees Bell
county fair pennants, stickers, etc.,
and everyone was talking about the
exposition
"You fellows must be going to have
,<me of the biggest affairs in the south-
west," he said to Secretary Joe F.
Cornish. Whereupon the genial sec-
retary Invited Mr. Clark Into his auto
and whirled him to the grounds. There
Mr. Clark waa given ample evidence
that Indeed the Bel;'county fair at
Midway waa to be ont of the biggest
and best agricultural, horticultural
and livestock fairs In the big south-
west; that the race course was one of
Not For Trade-
The man who has enter-
ed into Middle Age or

That stands good until

which any fair and racing association
might be proud, aad that with the
ample buildings going up to accom-
modate .alt. thoea features connected
with such an exposition, such as
women's departments, boys' and girls'
departments, etc., there would be a
diversity of educaUonal exhibits and
an entertainment program that would
keep the mulUtudes thoroughly inter-
ested all the time.
"I am surprised—I am elated—
something wonderful," Mr. Clark said,
"and to view the work aad the
grounds gives one Inspiration to quit
all thoughta of anything else but to
long for the Lone gtar state and to
know that with such a spirit prevail-
ing here this county and all the towns
thereof are going to take front rank
at aU limes In the material develop-
ment of Texas In all its departments.
"I have „ traveled over the entire
United States and I must say that the
fair grounds of Bell county equal any
I have ever seen, and your people here
should be bubbling over with enthu-
siasm. And it Is such an Ideal loca-
tion, too, tight between such splendid
progressive cities as Belton and Tem-
ple—both alive and alert, growing and
expanding, both with a cltlsenshlp
whose fame for progressiveness is
reaching out over the country—two
cities that some day will be large mu-
nicipalities, where Ind istrtes, commer-
cial Institutions and civic attractive-
ness will bring fame and add a lustre
to the names of those who are now
bulldins for the future for Bell county
and. all therein."

STAVINOHA BROS.
Tine Vogue of Black and White.
Shoppers searching tor new articles
of furniture for the home have been
startled at the bold combinations of
black and white seen In upholstery,
j hangings and wall paper. And now
I the vogue has reached the china shop
| and startling designs In black and
J white dinner, breakfast and teaware
j are displayed. I hope they are not
being sold; for this new fad, I am
I told, is an echo from the gloom pre-
valent abroad.
Almost every family In Europe has
lost members or friends in the fear-
ful havoc raging there and so univer-
sal mourning prevails; the black and
white candlesticks, black glass nut
rls, black salad plates with silhou-
ettes of white picked out on them and
other atrocities have found their way
into happy, peace-loving America;
mourning decorations in every room
at every meal!
Is it not enough that we ape for-
eign styles In dress? Must we furnish
our homes in black and be reminded
by the color of our dinner-ware that
our cousins over the water are quar-
reling? Why, the first thing we know
we will be sending our damask to the
dyers!
We have learned the lessons of
proportion and balance In furnishing
and have fouad that useless clutter
and bric-a-brac Is bad taste. Since
we know enough to discard the objec-
tionable, since an American woman
can be successful wife, mother, seam-
stress, nurse and cook combined, sup-
pose we try to mako sensible styles
papular in our own homes.
More than that, our Ideas, ways
customs ha,ve as much to recommend
them as any from over the seas, while
our home life is as beautiful as may
be found in all the world. But If we
are swayed by every passing whim of
foreign manufacturers who care only
for our dollars, our nation will soon
lose its individuality.
Other countries are not so eager
to adopt our styles; for example, con-
4 legal opinion of the matter of the
r ; of Temple borrowing $21,000
against which deficiency warrants will
be issued for the Improvement of the
city street, will probably be asked of
the attorney general's department of
Texas . Mayor Watt era Indicated as
much yesterday when discussing ths
proposition with Alderman Li lea.
City Attorney N. P. Woodward
states that ths Temple chsrter does
not provide that tneney shall not be
borrowed la this manner; that is, for
ftte Improvement of the city streets,
tut at the same time It does not state
specifically that It Is legal to accept
such a loan. The charter does pro-
vide, however, for the city to Issue
deficiency warrants for the mainte-
nance of the city government's various
branches, but since the paving of the
streets comes under the head of per-
manent Improvements, a shadow of
doubt has entered the minds of some
of the city officials as to whether the
proposition is legal.
That the city is most desirous of
continuing the street paving in any
manner possible Is the statement made
by each of the aldermen. If It is legal
for the city government to Issue defi-
ciency warrants against the $21,000
proffered loan of President H. C. Poe
of the Temple State Bank, then the
aldermen state they are quite willing
to continue the paving.
The council has gone on record
accepting the.$21,0Q0 advanced by Mr.
Poe, with which the paving will be
continued. Now/however, a doubt has
entered the minds of some of the of-
ficials as to whether such action is
legal.
An opinion will probably be asked
by Mayor Watters within the next
few days.

pect their housekeepers to flock to

They did not. They flocked to

called "vulgar," "nerve racking" and
"impossible." A popular hotel install-

the experiment was a failure. Mrs.

The commissioners' court of Bell coun-

thorized the adoption of this treat-
ment of road surfaces for the Temple-
Belton highway.
Work will be started within the next
ten days by the Barrett Manufactur-
ing company of Birmingham, Ala,
from the Temple end of the road.
Work as far as Midway will be com-
pleted. It Is expected, by October 1.
As soon as the road between Belton
and Midway is thoroughly overhaul-
ed this section will be treated with
tar via.
The layer to be placed on the high-
way will be approximately five-eights
of an inch thick. Several treatments
of the coal tar will bo applied before
the pike Is completed, according to
8. S. Cunning, a representative of the
Barrett Manufacturing company, who
was in Temple last night.
County Judge W. S. Shipp and oth-
er members of the commissioners'
court recently made an investigation
of the use of tarvia on r«ads In and
around San Antonio and their report

t rday by that body.

San Angeio, Tex., Sept. 14.—With

advisability of a bond issue to take

Haln in Conclio Country.
San Angeio, Tex., Sept, 14.—Show-
ers fell in San Angeio today and over
much of the Concho country. The
rains come at a most opportune time
owing -to the fact that hot and dry
winds from-the south have been blow-
ing for Beveral days. These winds
took a lot of moisture from the
ground and retarded the growth of
fall crops. Another heavy rain is
needed to put sufficient moisture in
the ground for the planting of oats,
wheat and rye for winter pasturage.

WOMEN'S WOES
Temple Women Are Finding Relief at
Last.
It does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and
pains that afflict humanity; they must
"keep up," must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must stoop over, when to
stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney Ills.
Keeping the kidneys well has spared
thousands of women much misery.
Read of a remedy for kidneys only
that is endorsed by people you know.
Mrs. M. A. Brlce, Twelfth and
Adams streets, Temple, says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills are all right for kidney
complaint and rheumatism and I take
pleasure in recommending themu
Whenever I feel any signs of kidney
weakness, my back starts hurting or
twinges of rheumatism come on, I

Heavy Kalnl'all.
Ballinger, Tex., Sept. 14.—The heav-
iest rain in many seasons fell here be-
tween two and three o'clock this af-
| ternoon. The heavens were almost
as dark as night preceding the down
pour, and 3 7-10 inches of rain fell in
less than one hour and was still rain-
ing at 3:30 this afternoon. An inch
and a quarter of rain fell early in the
morning, and it had cleared up as
though the weather was settled, when
a heavy cloud from the south brought
the afternoon downpour. Very little
wind accompanied the rain, and the
damage to cotton will not be heavy, it
Is believed.
