meeting night, which will be
Wednesday night, August 18.
The invitation is extended to
the Lions and their wives and
that means there will be a
gala crowd there and that they
Will have a wonderful time.
Edwards said, now don’t
quote us, that there wouid be
all the fish you could eat (In
the lake) so you’d better take
your hooks along.
Events of this nature are
always enjoyable, and up there
on the shores of Lake Dallas
at this season of the year
there is certain to be a joyous
atmosphere, and with the Ed-
wards’ reputation as hosts
fully lived up to, which it is
certain to be, there is bound
to be spent an evening "that
Will long be remembered.

local telephone system is in
Baylor Hospital where he was
operated upon yesterday. 'Mr.
Coomer went to Baylor Sunday
and was cared for and prepared
for the operation. He has
been in poor health for„n long
time and he is advised that by
submitting to an operation his
condition can be improved.
His many fiiends hope that
the operation has been as
successful as suigeons hope
for and that his health will
be improved as a result.

larger cribs to hold corn are
being built.
A L McDaniel and Blu Cross
have been busy cleaning the
place up prepratory to the mak-

they are really proud of. their
job.
Mr. Blanton has been able
to care for over 100,000 bu-
ghels of corn in a season but
he is preparing now to handle
more and do it more easily.
He may install more hoists,
but this had not been decided
upon. The mill is equipped to
care for grains rapidly and in
the grinding of feeds they can
care for a very large business.

Dangerous August
While one of the most pop

it brings vacations for the
greatest number of people, and
usually a lot o’f pleasant vvea
ther, August is nevertheless
recognized as about the most
dangeious month iti the year
from the standpoint of health
it is the month in which it is
!necessary to guard against
over exertion, since heat pros-
Rcvival Union
In Texas we boast of our
southern hospitality; in Mexi-
co, the people don’t boast of it;
they live it! From the mo-
ment when Mrs. Dominguez,
wife of the Mexican vice-con-
sul at Laredo, presented a
beautiful bouquet to Mrs. All-
red as we crossed the inter-
national boundary until now,
I have never witnessed'such
courtesy, such hospitality as
has been extended to us on
every hand.
As I told you last week, the
Mexican Government invited
us to be their guests, even
furnishing transportation over
the railroad. We have now
passed through the capital
cities of three Mexican states
and at each one great crowds,
including the Governor, the
Mayor, representatives of the
military and the businessmen
have met us at the station
with a band, presented beauti-
ful bouquets to J® Betsy (my
wife), and given us the very
best of enteitainment as long
as we were with them. Of
course, we realize this is an
honor they are extending not
to Jimmie Allred, but to the
Governor of Tcx'js; and that’s
why I’m prouder than ever be-
fore of the high honor the
people have bestowed upon
us.
We spent one day at Mon-
terrey, capital of Nuevo Leon.
It is .quite modern and some-
what Americanized. We saw
many Texas people there,
most of them touristy, of
course. We visited one of the
most beautiful and modern

drop it in red hot pieces into
various kinds of moulds where

Come to Carrollton
For Pure Water
Carrollton is really proud
of her pure water. It comes
from wells and each month
it is tested by State authori-
ties and reports made thereon.
It tests excellently and no
disease lurks in it.
While Dallas people are
having so much trouble with
their drinking water it might
be well for them to consider
Carrollton and its excellent
water and its proximity to
Dallas. ^ There should be a
number of Dallas people who
could come out to this place
to make their homes and en-
joy the facilities we have to
offer to home makers.
We have, the various utili-
ties ; gas, electricity, water,
sewers, and quick transporta-
tion to the cities of Dallas, and
Ft. Worth. Many of our people
work in Dallas and drive back
and forth. It is possible to
get from down town Dallas to
Carrollton as quickly, and in
many instances quicker, than
to some of their suburbs. If
you want a nice home town, it
will pay you to come to Carroll-
ton, Water is always GOOD.

Pan American Exposition en-

of even greater success in the

ternational fair is attracting
interest and visitors from an
even wider area. Those who
view its outstanding exhibits
