The Telephone Girl
The telephbnSgift sits
; In her chair. ^ ^ •
Aiid listens to voices
T From eveqfjffeere.
She hears all the gossip, she
Hears all the news.
She knows who is happy and
• Who has the blues.
She knows all the sorrows,
C She knows all the joys,
She knows every girl who is
Chasing tho boys
She knows all the trouble she
Knows all the strife,
She knows every man who
Quarrels with his wife;
She knows every time one
Is out with the boys,
She knows the excuses each
fellow employs.
She knows every woman who
Has a dark past,
She knows every fellow
Who’s inclined to be fast;
In fact there’s a secret beneath One Portland dealer
each cute little curl
Of that quiet, demure looking
Telephone girl.
If the telephone gill told all
That she knows,
She’d turn many friends into
Bitterest foes.
She’d sow a small wind that’d
soon be a gale.
She’d engulf some in trouble
And others in jail.
She’d let go a story that,
Gaining in force,
Would cause half the wives
To sue for divorce.
She’d get all the churches
Mixed up in a fight,
And turn many days into
Sorrowing nights.
In fact she would keep the
Whole town in a stew,
If she told but a tenth of the
Things that she knew.
Say1, reader, doesn’t it make
Your head whirl,
When you think of what you
Owe to the telephone girl ?

Cnevrblet Motctf^o.-says: IP,
thfr south west, tusgl business*
is sowing a rapid increase^
Oklahoma City took more ears
in the first six months of the
year than in all 1932. In the
Arkansas oil fields, sales are
350 per cent of quota for the
year. The truck market is ex-
panding by leaps and bounds.
Kansas is very optimistic, with
outlook much better in the
small towns. Dealer sales are
up from 100 to 500 per cent
for August alone. Passage of
the beer bill and bonus money
for farmers has boomed busi-
ness in Texas. Sales of Hous-
ton dealers are more than 100
per cent over all 1932 sales.
Similar favorable conditions
prevail on the Pacific Coast.
had the
-best July in 19 years. In Los
Angeles, July sales were 100
per cent over a year ago with
August up accordingly. San
Francisco reports the best fall
outlook in years.
Mr. Klinglcr said that many
other dealers and regions of
the United States report simi-
lar favorable present sales and
future possibilities.
Trinity River Barge
Mrs. Dodd Vernon of Eden-
burg, Texas, daughter-in-law of
Rev. and Mrs. W. N. Vernon,
With her young son, Walter Me,
visited here a few days with
them, coming Saturday and
leaving Wednesday. She will
return here again for a visit be-
fore returning to her Valley
home. Her father came Wed-
nesday morning and carried
her to' Chicota for a visit in
the old home in Lamar county.
Mrs. Dave Myers is making
preparations to build a new
residence on her lot on Clinton
street just north of the present
residence occupied by- H.
Carloy.
As a tribute to the interest
i manifested here in navigation
jof the Trinity River, the Tex-
as Steer, prairie schooner >rig-
ged barge en route to Chicago,
will remain in Dallas several
days, Admiral B. M. Hatfield,
head man of the vessel, said
Friday following a formal wel-
come at the municipal building
by City Manager Edy.

on a truck and hauled to the

Why the Blooming Hurry
The Blooming Grove Times
said a few issues back : “If Mr.
Roosevelt doesn’t shoo a little
money this way soon, we may
be reduced to the extremity of
eating the Blue Eagle.’'
The Richardson Echo echoed
it, the Royce City News-Times
thought it was timely news and
now the Chronicle will chronic-
le the fact that those blooming-
checks are sorely needed in our
neck of the woods.
“Paved Road to Death”
The Terrel - Dallas highway
claimed three more lives yester
then on Sunday afternoon will‘day. Sunday a prominent citi-
be on exhibit at the Dallas
aviation sehool hangar at Love
Field, while Commander Hat-
field, 65-year old adventurer,
and soldier of fortune, flies in
an airplane down the river to
survey his course after leaving
Dallas. Captain Hatfield
spoke to the Lions’ Club lunch-
eon Friday noon and told
over Radio Station W’FAA of
his project in the afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Guy Thomas of
Kaufman spent a few days last
week with Port Montgomery
and family. Nellie Sims return-
ed with them for a visit.
Steamer Baskets
A STEAMER basket is a joy
for ever so long, or some-
L ** thing to stealthily slip to
the tnaid because you can’t use it,
depending on what foresight
friends ashore have given to this
popular bon voyage gift.
If it is packed with fresh fruit
which the dining-room on ocean
liners provides most generously,
If it is filled with boxes of choc-
olates—or anything else that
doesn’t keep perfectly—it is just
that much extra luggage.
f “How Thoughtful 1”
Suppose Instead we pack a most
acceptable basket for our cruis-
ing friends. There are so many
‘ delicious new crackers and cock-
tail wafers that come in cans and
stay delightfully crisp for the
whole voyage, that you can choose
between Scotch shortbreads, ca-
viar puffs, assorted biscuit dain-
ties, fruited oat cakes, cheese
flakes, toasted whole wheat
wafers, arrowroot jumbles, or
what you will. While no one
bothers to make sandwiches,
there are always times when tins
of caviar or anchovies, pimiento
or cream cheese are welcome with
these crisp crackers and cocktails.
And speaking of cocktails,
canned grapefruit juice, sweet-
ened or unsweetened, has become
almost a necessity to use in cock-
tails while traveling, and pine-
apple juice is equally good for
many drinks.
Pack in also some cans of
candy, which will keep fresh and
good, and also cans of assorted
glac6 fruits and nuts.*
zen of Wills Point was killed
near Dallas. There is no way
of estimating the number of
people who have nut death on
this highway within the past
two years. Every chamber of
commerce along the death road
should inaugurate a campaign
to improve conditions. Steps
should be taken to have the
road widened, to see that the
law regarding head lights and
tail lights are enforced, No
wagon should be allowed on
this highway at night without
lights.—Terrel Tribune.

have in Texas, sometimes
called Brill’s Disease, has a low
It occurs among
persons who work or live in rat
infested buildings. It was the
observation of this fact that
led to the discovery that rats
are carriers or transmitters of
the disease. It appears that
the rat suffers attacks of this
form of typhus fever and the
fleas harbored by, the sick rat
bite man and thus human infec-
tion results.
Althongh this disease is not
commonly fatal, it cannot be
considered lightly, The in-
tense headache, the high fever,
and the great mental depress-
ion are its most unpleasant
features. Like in seasickness,
the patients greatest fear is
that he is going to die. The
illness generally lasts about
two weeks.
The control of typhus is very
difficult and depends upon the
extermination of rats and this
is no easy matter. Trapping
and poisoning help, but the
best results are obtained by
starving the rats. This is
done by having all buildings
where food is stored ratproof.
The State Department of
Health and the U. S. Dcpart-
msnt of Agriculture will be
glad to assist communities in
their program for the extermi-
nation of this pest.
