FRI8C0 JOURNAL
Frisco Journal: Once more the an-
nouncement is made that “The Real
Missing Link Has Been Found!”
Celina Record: It used to cause a
sensation to announce that the mis-
sing link had been discovered, but
not so today. There have been so
many “missing links” brought to
light that the people are dubious as
to their being the genuine article. We
have always frowned upon evolution
but after seeing some of the speci-
mens of humanity that exist in this
civilized country we sometimes think
probably we are wrong in our views.
Prizes have been given for swimming
the English Channel, Lindbergh was
awarded- $25,000 for flying from Am-
erica to France—in fact R seems that
What Are destroys never returns.
Advertising Rate Was
Too High, They Thought
Fire is a menace, kill it with care.
A Surprise Dinner
Mrs. D. L. Vandeventer was agree-
ably surprised Tuesday morning, June
14, when her children and grandchil-
dren gathered in with well-filled bas-
kets to celebrate her 58th birthdate.
The diy was greatly enjoyed by all.
Mrs. J. E. Ripple and son left Wed-
nesday for Sanatorium, Texas, to be
with Mr. Ripple, who has been there
about a year and will likely remain
E. L. Murdock, of Murdock Bros.,
for 18 years a leading ladies’ ready-
to-wear store in Champaign, 111., de-
clares that the chief reason for the
recent failure of his business was
due to his giving up newspaper ad-
vertising. He said in a signed let-
ter to the Champaign News-Gazette:
“Another contributing cause, and,
perhaps the greatest contributing
cause, is the fact that four years
ago our firm, because we thought the
rate was too high, withheld all ad-
vertising in the newspapers.
"For two years we were without
proper means of getting messages
about our store into the homes of
our friends and buyers. The result
was that they soon forgot ns. We
tried other forms of advertising to
supplant the newspapers, but we
found none that was as effective. Our
business continued on the downgrade.
“After two years we saw the er-
ror of staying out of the papers.”
in that place for some time.
Truman Hufford is here since
Thursday morning and will stay over
Sunday, he said. He has been down
in South Texas since leaving Wich-
ita Falls inspecting the oil fields, he
said. His mother did not come with
him. He reported heavy rains in
Wichita Falls during the last week,
but no damage from wind, although
there was a hard straight wind. .

Stanley-Roberson
Millard Stanley of Denton and Miss
Effie Roberson of Childress were
quietly married in the home of Rev.
8. W. Miller Sunday, June 12, at 9:30
a. m.
The bride is well known in Frisco
as her people lived around here for
several years, moving to Childress
about a year ago.
The community extends their many
good wishes to the happy couple.

Miss Mattie Hargis of St. Paul
sanitarium, Pallas, visited her pa-
rents, Mf. and Mrs. U. E. Hargis.
A man near McKinney raised 366
crates of onions on two acres, from
which he cleared $600. 'Nuff said.
Of course proper credentials would
have to be produced by the one pur-
ported to be such to safeguard the
public from impostors, but with a sub-
stantial prize offered for the one so
qualifying, we have an idea that there
would be entrants whose appearances
would satisfy the most skeptical per-
son. Talk it up, Brother O’Neill.
There ought to be a good front page
story in It, anyway.
We wonder if Charlie Andrews is
casting any insinuations in those last
few lines (?). Anyhow, we have but
a very few specimens around Frisco
who might be induced to enter such
a contest. Did you ever read “Tar-
zan”?

Syrup Pepsin and it was really remarkable how she picked rigaj
up, and now she can even dance around with her grand- jpgmmC
children. Now we are never without Syrup Pepsin in -V|||

Frisco Journal: Once more the an-
nouncement is made that “The Real
Missing Link Has been Found!”
McKinney Examiner: Hush, Matt.
There’s a whole lot of ’em hiding out
and that’s why they try to make it
■o mysterious.
The editor of the Celina Record is
very optimistic In his report of the
little Stone girl’s broken arm when
he states that “it Is believed it will
soon heal.” Two broken bones in
one arm are not in the habit of heal-
ing “soon”.

McKinney Examiner: And here just

In” our oil well we notice the big
companies have begun a movement to
abut down production. Twas ever
thus.
Yes. It caught us in the-same man-
ner. We are sometimes inclined to
just throw up the whole deal—and
sell all of our oil stock!
Frisco Journal: All the county pa-
pers are spreading big headlines
stating that “Ollie O’Neal is placed
Under $8,000 bond,” some of them
thinking, possibly, that finally they
have found eomehtlng to say about
the editor of The Frisco JoumeL
But our name isn’t Ollie.
McKinney Examiner: Aw, Mhtt;

With Ollie. Bnt Ollie knows we are
not going to try to make anyone be-
lieve he la editor of The Frisco Jour-
nal .
Wonder what Clint means by them
remarks?
The Journal is not as good as it
used to be because we have bed to
“give the air” to four workmen with-
in the past year. We had to do that
because business is off. Business is
off because the people as s whole are
doing a lot of cash buying away from
home regardless of the fact that the
home merchant has almost every-
thing one would want; therefore, the
home merchant is discouraged to the
point that he either cuts his adver-
tising down or else he cuts it out al-
together—although that’s the op-
posite to what should be done—but,
whichever he does, the newspaper suf-
fers the loss, the workmen connected
with the sheet suffer the loss of their
jobs (which cuts another pay-roll)
and the reader of the paper cannot
help but wonder what is the matter
with the little old rag. This editor
is today doing the work thaT required
four people just a short time back.
And then, J. E. Johnson laughs when
he hears us say that we work,

Frank Stines, route four, gave us
a check for a dollar last Thursday
after we told him that beginning with
that day we should get some rain.
The dollar, of course, was for renew-
al to this popular sheet, but we didn’t
get any rain that day, nor the next,
nor the next! and we are wondering
if he wants his dollar back.

We stopped long enough last Sat-
urday morning at 11 o’clock to step
up to Washington and watch the big
parade as Colonel Lindbergh, the boy
hero, landed after his voyage across
the Atlantic on the Memphis, the
swiftest boat in the Navy. The line
of march up Pennsylvania Avenue
was long, hot and dusty. The bands
playing, flags flying and the crowd
screaming and clapping made the air
dense with mingled vibrations, and,
after an interminable wait, the car
carrying Lindbergh hove in sight. We
were standing on the steps of the
Treasury building or up on top the
Washington monument alternately,
and gained a fair view of the whole
•cene. As the President shook hands
with the boy hero, the crowd roared.
The President made a very interest-
ing and impressive talk, chiefly about
Llndy, the hero, after which the boy
delivered his message from the peo-
ple of France and of Europe to the
people of America, and a curt “thank
you”. It took us just a little over
an hour to go to Washington and
return via radio. We saw all of the
buildings of importance. We saw
the long line of care a mile away as
Llndy stepped into his conveyance.
We were given a very descriptive pic-
ture of the happenings there by an
announcer who delivered the goods
in the best fashion. And all the time
we were in Frisco, at home, enjoying
the nation’s celebration and the sat-
faction that we would go home within
a few minutes and eat our noon day
meal. It is beyond the marvelous—
it is miraculous!
S. M. Harrington, veteran drug-
gist of Plano, was stricken suddenly
ill Sunday night at his home. He was
rushed to a sanitarium in Dallas. His
condition is reported much improved.
Mr. Harrington is a native of Collin
county and for over a third of a cen-
tury has been engaged in the drug
business in Plano. He is teacher of
the Baraca Class of the Methodist
Sunday school.—Plano Star-Courier.
