From the Bellville Times
Every once in so often Editor Cooke
of the Rockdale Reporter goes himself
one better in getting out his always
excellent paper. Last week was one of
these times. In its issue of March 16
the Reporter came oul in special edi-
tion form, in honor of the approach-
ing Interscholastic County Meet of
Milam county. The expense of getting
out the paper was necessarily consid-
erable, but advertisers stood solidly
behind the undertaking—indeed, there
seems to have not been a single “va-
cant chair” among those who should
have been represented in the columns
of this special edition, which is a cred-
it to that town and county.—Bellville
Times.

Dear John:
The Interscholastic Meet Edition ar-
rived this morning and you have rea-
son to be very proud of it. The Dal-
las News has nothing on this edition
in appearance. I congratulate you
and Rockdale citizens because of hav-
ing a real, uptodate metropolitan
paper.

Dear Mr. Cooke:
I want to congratulate you on the
very fine Educational Number of The
Reporter. I spent half an hour call-
ing my pupils’ attention to the va-
rious good features of the paper. I
want to thank you personally for the
nice things said about our school.
Sincerely,

From the Bryan Eagle
The Rockdale Reporter, under the
direction of Jno. E. Cooke, former
president of the Texas Press Associa-
tion, has issued a special educational
edition. It was a splmid’d achieve-
ment setting forth the needs of today.
Nearly half the young people are in-
efficient on account of the improper
training. Texas is now 39th in educa-
tional affairs and will suffer the con- j
sequences in the future unle--? there |
is reform. Hence the special edit.on j
of the Reporter is timely and should
be endorsed by the people of Rock-
dale and Milam county.—Bryan Eagle
IF BEER SHOULD COME BACK
If beer should come back:
1. We would have a drink bill of
$5,000,000,000 annually. When the na-
tion closed the saloons our drink bill
was nearly $2,500,000,000. The pres-
ent drink bill in Great Britian with
about 40,000,000 people, is 470,000,000
pounds, or approximately $2,250,000,-
000, which, we understand, is prac-
tically double what it was before the
Kaiser started trouble. With increased
prices and greater consumption, due to
after-war tendencies, there is no
doubt that our liquor bill would be
$5,000,000,000 annually, not including
the mridental losses to the people
caused by the renewed traffic. What
would it mean to take $5,000,000,000
out of legitimate American industry at
the present time? What would it
mean to lower the standard of living
of our people, particularly of ,our
working classes, to the tune of $5,000,-
000,000 at one time?
2. We would have the saloon back.
The American saloon was a beer sa-
loon, not a whiskey saloon. All of its
institutional evils would thrive just
as well as if not another drop of whis-
key were sold.
3. We would have whiskey back.
You cannot open 200,000 saloons in
this country and keep them from sell-
ing whiskey. The saloon never obeyed
any law passed for its regulation ex-
cept the law compelling it to pay a
tax.
4. We would have the beer trade
back. If you want to know what that
was read the report of the Senate
Judiciary Committee on the breweries
and anti-American propaganda. All of
the rottenness and hyphenism of the
trade would be once again injected into
politics.
5. We would have new evil in wide-
spread drinking by women. The Amer-
ican woman was kept out of the Amer-
ican saloon. The American man con-
sidered her too good for the debauch-
ing influence of beer. Very few “res-
pectable” women drank in America
in the old days. But the old standards
of conduct for women are passing
away under the influence of the new
feminism and we have not yet had
time to see the establishment of new
standards. In this transition time, the
influence of the saloon and the beer
trade, urged 'by an economic motive
and pushed by every method of trade
promotion, would be perilous to Amer-
ican womanhood.—Plainview Herald.

Milam county—Greeting:
You are hereby commanded to sum-
mon H. B. Weathersby by making

“All that certain tract or parcel of
land lying and being situated in Milam

varas, and another brs. S. 35 W. 5
varas. Thence N. 19 W. 1086 vrs. to
stake for corner. Thence S. 71 W. 500
vrs. to stake in E. line of a tract con-
veyed to J. M. Cave by J. S. Sudberry.
Thence S. 19 E. about 200 vrs. to J. M.

the S. line of said Cave tract 245 vrs.

That as part payment therefor Lier-
mann executed and delivered three
notes of even date with deed, due Jan.
1st, 1922, 1923, »t.A 1924 respectively,
bearing eight per cent annual interest,
and providing for ten per cent attor-
ney fees, each of said notes being for
the sum of $100.00. That the interest
is past due, one of said notes is past

That the other defendants herein,
assumed the payment of said notes,
and plaintiff prays for judgment for

est and attorney fees, foreclosure of
lien, and general relief. And in the
alternative plaintiff says that he is
the owner of said lands, is in pos-
session thereof, is entitled to posses-
sion thereof, and prays judgment for

being a suit in the alternative in the
nature of trespass to try title.

From the Cameron Enterprise
The Rockdale F.eporier issued a
splendid edition of twenty pages last
week in hoiiui of the meeting of the
Interscholastic League of Milam
County at Rockdale next week. It
was a highly interesting paper con-
taining pictures of th* new High
School building, Thorndale’s basket-
ball team, Rockdale's football team,
Rockdale’s basketball five and the first
regularly elected school board of Rock-
dale, as well as many timely articles
on school and interscholastic work. It
was well patronized by the merchants
of Rockdale, Cameron and Thomdale.

Cooke upon his success.—Cameron En-

San Antonio, Texas.—MFor a long
time I had suffered with a weakness
that was brought on by over work and
worry. Through this I became all
run-down and extremely nervous. I
had scarcely any strength left —the
least exertion I would be all in. I was
a physical wreck when I began taking
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and
it was very quick in building me up
in health and strength, and I was so
much better after taking this medicine
that I feel I can safely recommend it
to others.”—Mrs. N. A. Briggs, No.
