A public fountain on tbe
square *wjll be a great conven-
ience during: the long: hot days.
West Lancaster is to have
'Water, a large main is to be laid
att once which will give the resi-
dents of that part of the city the
■convenience and protection to
which they are entitled.

Quite a long stretch of gravel
walk is being laid in North -Lan-
caster. J. A. Rogers began tbe
work and others are carrying it
on along their property. Let
the good work go oo, and where
crossings are needed the city
dads should see that they are

'When are you going to move,
amd where are you gojng to^ lo-
cate?, are the questions that are
4»eing put to several of our busi-
ness firms and fraternal orders.
vSamors are afloat that are pleas-
ant to listen to as their fulfill-
ment means a growth for Lan-
caster in a few months, such as
it has ‘ not attained in years be-
fore.

When our street lights are in-
stalled, the water main laid to
West Lancaster and some kind
•of a drinking fountain installed,
alk>f which are being considered.
4here in another improvement
to be made which will require a
dSXeat effort and a strong t and
steady pull, but which means so
much to everyone in the town,
auid that is the installing of a
sewer system of some kind* We
iihen can have an ideal city.

a ^One^thing is certain, the crim-
anal-courts of Dallas county grind
i£aster than in former days. The
trial follows closely on the heels
of the alleged crime. Good re-
sults will come frott this. The
ifellew with his finger on tbe
trigger of a six shooter will hes-
itate when he realizes that to-
' morrow ne must face 4fHe judge
and jury.—Times-Herald.
Now if they will add to this
grood work the sentence of incar-
ceration in an insane asylum,
when the insane plea is allowed,
there may be a tew less cases of
insanity, when it’s olain to be
seen it was pure jealousy or
br ute madness.

A suggestion was made to us
Tuesday which we think is most
excellent and hope to see carried
out. The thought is to call a
citizens’, meeting and make se-
lection of men who are willing
for their names to be used on the
ticket for school trustee. It is
none too early to put this sjig-
jgrestion in force as the election
will be held the first Saturday in
May. This w(ll give dignity and
honor to the position, and a feel-
ing of having the support of those
interested in tbe school. Here-
tofore the responsibility has been
thrown wholly upon the school
hoard. The hold-over members
would endeavor to find some one
to fill the places of those who' re-
tired, or someone would suggest
sl name for the vacancy and the
election passed off with very
little interest taken in it. No
■one particularly wanted to serve,
because there seemed so litttle
interest in tbe matter. Let tbe
^president of the board call a
meeting of the voters of the dis-
trict and give thought to the
selection of men, secure their
Consent to having their name
placed upon the ticket, with the
feeling that they have the citizens
backing them. There is no
salary in the office of school
trustee, and if you do you are
criticised, and if you don’t you’re
criticised, but it is a position of
trust, and if any method can be
employed to share this respon-
sibility and tiult it should be
done.

Our Hew Alderman.
The following oath of office
was administered to Jack Bil-
lingsley, inducting hitn into tbe
office of Alderman tor tbe citv of
Lancaster. The latter part ot
the provision was somewhat dis-
tasteful to him but fear of
losing tbfe. toga prompted him to
take the full obligation:
State of Texas, Countv of Dal-
las; I, J. M. Billingsley, beiDg
in soupd mind and body, do sol-
emnly swear that T am the person-
elected alderman on the first day
of April, A. D. 1913, and I here-
by agree during the term of my
Office to be subject to tbe hws
and ordinances of the city of
Lancaster.
I further agree during the
term of said office to ent.er into a
Patrimonial alliance as soon as
the first opportunitv presents
herself, and to induce all other
single men to do likewise. I
shall make it my duty to see that
all single ladies, both old and
young are properly escorted to
and from all church' services,
the Woodmen Circle, the picture
show and all other meetings of
worship and entertainment, and
to m^et the late interarban cars
and safely escort all unaccompa-
nied ladies to their homes, no
matter how late the hpur nor
dark the night. It shall be my
pleasure aftd duty to see to the
comfort of all members pt the
city council and to orovide them
whenever .and wherever I meet
them, with cigars, cold drinks
and show tickets. In testimony
I hereunto set my hand this, the

WatcHx your neighbors—
Look at the new < roofs. Notice how
Peerless Prepared Roofing is covering the build-
ings hereabouts. And those same Peerless roofs will be just as
food and just as sound ten or fifteen years from> now as they are
today. And in the meantime the owners won’t have to spend
one penny in repair expense. Peerless Prepared Roofing ends all that.
How about your roofs ? Projit by the experience
of your neighbors. Cover your_ building, too, with °eerlcss
Roofing. It’s-durable as a hillside, and when you use Peerless
you can spend elsewhere the money that you used to pay for roof
repairs. Peerless'is worth a dozen ordinari-roofs by every test
Fire or wind or water—cold or heat or snow—it’s all the same
to a Peerless foof. It’ll keep right on wearing to the day you’re
ready to build another stfucture in place of the one it covers.
At least come in and investigate. You
oWe it to your property and your pocket-
book. We’r* ready to' talk. Are you?
