Williamson county is the greatest
cotton producing county in the
world; with her acreage planted in
cotton as other counties plant theirs
Williamson county would in normal
years produce upward of two hun-
dred thousand bales. Williamson
county was in the center of the gTeat
drouth area in 1925, her cotton crop
was reduced from a normal
tion of from eighty-five to y
dred and twenty-thousand bal
measly sixteen thousand,
than the number .ginned frequently
by at least three gins of the county.
Notwithstanding this, Williamson
coujity saved the State of Texas
from going on a deficiency basis
during the third week in the month
of February, 1926. The money
turned over to the State by Tax Col-
lector Sam V. Stone and Deputy Col-
lector H. S. Sharpe paid the State’s
bills at$< saved an overdraft. Now
if about half a dozen counties like
Colemari (in which, is located the
town of Coleman and in which are
to be found Editor Williamson and
the Democrat-Voice) would send in
their thirty-five or forty thousand
.dollars of State money the old com-
monwealth might keep out of the
red. Hurry along, Brother Wil-
liamson, \yith your nickel.

A diamond valued at $395 dollars,
lost last April by Mrs. J. L. McCou-
key, of Bellevue, was found Saturday
in a chicken gizzard. Mention of this
is not made to create a demand for
giblet steW, but to mention the fact
that such a hen might be profitable in
Brown county. It was a Rhode Island
Red. » '
Nearly a million dollars worth of
building is going on right at this time
in the business and residential sec-
tions and by next year Georgetown
will be known as a Williamson county
town so many miles from Coleman
rather than from Austin or San An-
tonio.

A meeting was held in Georgetown,
Texas, Tuesday, March 2nd, (indorse
Attorney General Dan Moody as a
candidate for governor. The call for
the meeting was issued in the last is-
sue of the Williamson County Sun.
The purpose of the meeting is to en-
dorse Moody’s life from the cradle to
the .grave and insist that he enter the
aforesaid race in due and ancient
form. . Georgetown is Moody’s home
and it is but naturally for citizens to
be anxious about his future. But such
meetings as was held there Tuesday
will cause them to become over zeal-
ous ^nd result in something they jmay
regret the final days in July. The
writer is.no political seimograph, but

and file of Texas voters are not as en-
thusiastic as Williamson county peo-

Hot can they forget. But is Sat-
urday the only day ? They wear their
dresses short in Coleman every day in
the year, and a respectable showing is
made. We hardly think many will
spend money for gas to drive to Men-
ard when their own towns have the
same advantages. m
They have a new drink out in Quake-
francisco. It is >-due admixture of
two quarts of milk and ong quart of,
gasoline and produces the same kind
of drunk that results from , a few
drinks of bottled in bam. It contains
so little alcohol that the provisions of
the Volstead law are not applicable
and local authorities are taking the
matter up with Washington. The new

the building of the millionth Buick.
Approximately eighteen years were con-
sumed in the accomplishment.
On December 16, 1925, Buick reached
the million and a half mark. A mil-
lion Buickl in eighteen years—the nest
half million in two years and nine
months.
At th* present time, public demand calls
for more than 20,000 Buicfcs tvtry

lion in the hands of Buick owners, with-
in two years.

Cooking a Meal for Less
Than 3c
The average meal for six persons can be cooked with natural gas at an expense of
not over 3 cents. This has been proved more than once by domestic science schools.
**
Where else can so cheap a fuel be obtained ? Where else can so convenient and clean
a fuel be obtained at three times the price?
But not every meal is cooked economically. Wasteful usage of gas is evident in many
homes—and gas bills may be correspondingly high.
The use of natural gas should be studied 41s carefully as though manufactured gas
were being used—of half the heating value att^ouble the price. Many ways of moBe*
economical use of gas will Veward a little study. Most of these can be put into effect
with the appliances that youiiow have. But in all cases it pays to have good modern ap-
pliances, correctly adjusted.’ Then with careful usage you get the full value of the money
you pay for gas.
