CITY STREETS THUR8DAY
jyiatte.- mM- at the asphalt paving
| material was placed on North Main
street Thnrsday morning; and the
work;ls now progressing nicely. The
plant which is situated on the Tex-
as & Pacific railroad at the Elm
street crossing was tried out Wed-
nesday and actual work started on
Thursday. The first coat of the
regulation asphalt paving material,
composed Of sand gravel and the as-
phalt Is brought to a temperature
of 320 degrees and placed on the
street just as hot as possible, where
it is rolled with an 8-ton roller. This
coating will be three Inches in thick-
ness after the required rolling has
been given. The Willite top coat-
ing is'to be two inches in thickness
which givea a paving five inches
thick. The top coat is also placed
on the street hot and this rolled
at the first with a light roller to
be followed Jay the heavy one and
the rolling continued .until a per-
fectly solid paving results. The top
coating will be placed on the sec-
tion of the Streep next to the square
this afternoon.
This is the consummation of a long
drawn out piece of work that wa^
started just about a year ago when
a bond issue %as voted to do the
work. The agitation of paved streets
however, wSs started several years
ago, but the first actual step was
taken with the voting of bonds. Since
that time the city commission has
been dealing wih engineers, paving
concerns, and making all the other
necessary preparations for this work.
With the starting of the actual
work Thursday morning, a further
bond issue, to extend the paving far
beyond the present contract, was dis-
cussdO by interested citizens. The

On the subject of “The Thief on
the Cross,” Brother Smith preached
what many consider the strongest
sermon he has delivered. The au-
dience was large and interest extra-
ordinarily good.
He began the sermon by reading
the last paragraph of the Sermon
on the Mount in which Jesus says
that merely calling on the Lord
will not save but that it is neces-
sary to, do the specified something
called "the will of the Father.”
Tlfe will of the Father is express-
ed through Christ in the New Testa-
present contract only calls for the ment Scriptures. It includes faith,
Bquare and the principal streets lead- j repentance, confession and baptism
ing out in either direction tor only j for remission of sins. Mark
a few blocks. There is no doubt 16; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; I Pet. 3:
but what the initial paving is only
a very small portion of what will
be done before the work st^ps.

Old Time Tie Coming Back.
Associated Press
Brownwood, Texas, April 8.—The
old-time hewn railroad tie is com-
ing back. The Santa Fe railroad
is using some of these ties in this
division and they are giving satisfac-
tory service, it is said. The hewn
tie when well treated, experts say,
lasts longer than the sawn tie. The
railroad made experimenis in (he
hewn tie as a result of the present
high price of timber.

In what age did( the thief ll've? j
The Jewish age. Baptism was no j
part of the Jewish system. The new |
Testament did not go into effeet
until after the death of Christ. He-
brews 9:16. Before that time, dur-
ing the personal ministry of Christ,
he could of course bestow blessings
as he saw fit, with or without,con-
ditions, using his own pleasure in
each case. Since the will went into
effect remission of sins is bestowed |
kccordlng to the provisions of the
will. The will wall given to tne
apostle in the great commission and
contains the message to be preached]
and the conditions of pardon to
the world. Preaching and baptism
are mentioned in every case of con-
version under the new covenant. Je-
sus Christ was baptized and com-
mands others to be. Why should
we evade such plain teaching by
appealing to a dying thief who lived
in the Jewish age before ihe New
Testament went into effect? 1^ the

—PECOS OFFERS SOMETHING DIFFERENT AS THE OIL IS FOUND AT 650 FEET
THEREBY MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR THE LITTLE MAN TO GET IN.

Ranger Field is Not Dry
—There will be big gushers drilled in in Ranger field for a good many years to come,
but THE BIG COMPANIES hive alLjthe acreage in the Ranger field and will only develop
as they see fit.
—NOW, BOYS, we can’t keep all our holdings, so are going to give yon an opportunity
to buy sotne blocks from 40 acres up while it is cheap. We are making arrangements to drill
TWO WELLS just as quick as we can get material on the ground.
—BIG MONEY is made on leases. The fellow who made fortunes in the Ranger oil field
made it by buying leases while they were cheap. Later, as development and production in-
creased, sold out for immense sums of money, while some pessimists who were too conserva-
tive to invest a few dollars, stood by and watched others invest a. few dollars in leases and
become millionaires.
—IF THE PECOS STRUCTURE IS WHAT GEOLOGISTS CLAIM IT IS, AND WE

YOU BOUGHT SOME ACREAGE. WE CAN’T KEEP IT ALL. >
—Monday of this week the Bell well was put on the pump, through a 2-inch flow line
