Farmers of Central
Community Resolve
to Protect the Quail
A dozen or more farmers of the
Central community, northwest of
Coleman, who have been injured by
the depredations of boll weevil, have
resolved to protect the quail on their
I remises and encourage their increase
for the purpose of combating the
weevil next year.
It la generally believed that quail
on the faims will materially decrease
the weevil and other insects which
depredate on cotton and the farmer::
ot the Central community intend to
give the method a thorough tryout by
protecting the birds to the extent of
their abjity. The public is requested
to take notice of their determination.
The names of fanners already en-
listed in the protection movement,
are: J. J. Arthur, J. W. Wheat, Sav-
age Brothers, G. F. Goss, Messrs.
Chadwell, McDonald, Llghtner,Clouse,
Jones, Taylor, Mrs. Warren.

ROBBERY AT MARBLE FALLS
No Room for Grouch.
Every town has the peculiar char-
acter known as “ofd grouch." Some-
times his initials are U R Grouch, and
sometimes it’s plain tma Grouch. Do
j'ou know him in our town? lie i*
here sure, but this is no place for him,
We want old Grouch to move out*
Our town and community la progres-
sive town and community ami we are
goiftr to “buy-tt-nmde-in-Texns.”
Austin, . Oct. 36.—Two unmasked
men entered the First National Bank
at Marble Falls, about .1:30 o’clock
this afternoon, shot and fatally
wounded Robert H. Heinetz, book-
keeper, forced Walter Page, assistant
cashier, to open the safe and escaped
with all the currency in the place.
Heinetz was shot through the ab-
domen and the left shoulder, and had
twa fingers shot from his right hand.
;t'is reported that Heinetz attemp e:i
to reach his pistef under the counter
when he was shot.
According to reports the robbers
appeared to be men of middle age
and wore black slouch hats. Neither
was masked. Citizens passing the
bank were brushed aside by the rob-
bers as they fled. The amount of mo-
ney taken is estimated at $2,600. Im-
mediately a posse of citizen^‘and of-
ficers formed and are scoring the
country in Bearch^f thjjfrobbers

Home Industries.
The Home Industry movement in
Texas has been responsible for start-
ing a number of plants idle for many
months before. It’s because the peo-
ple of the towns demanded made-at-
home products. 1! is is especially
true of flour. Thero is no more ex-
cuse for buying flour made in some
other s‘atc than there is in sending to
Chicago for a doctor when you are
sick. Fact of the matter is, mode-at-
homo flour is the'best and it makes a
pay-roll besides.
