i The Electric Fan
BONO ELECHONS
Is the greatest convenience you can
have during the summer. The next
four months will be exceedingly warm
and nothing will add more to the com-
fort of the home than a fan. We can
supply your needs in this line, at a
very low price, and you will be sur-
prised to see how cheaply the fan can
be run. You will purchase one or
more fans before the end of the sum-
mer—why not now?
The Electric Iron
This is another convenience you cannot
afford to be^khout during the sum-
mer season.^Src cost is small and the
pleasure is nttrfh many times the
expense. N^pctra wiring necessary.

Excessive rains have fallen during
the last three week3 in Fanuin
County and the western portion of
Lamar County. The farmers have
been unable to do anything during
this time and erops have been badly
damaged by water in many com-
munities.
The hardest rain of the entire sea-
son is reported to have fallen in that
section last Sunday afternoon, when
a bare sprinkle was witnessed in and
around Clarksville. Passengers on
the Clarksville-Sherman train, re-
turning in the evening, report water
from six inches to two' feet deep
along the railway right of way from
Windom to High. Rains have since
fallen in that section.
Heavy rains have also fallen in
the river section of Red River Coun-
ty and in practically all sections of
Bowie County. Hard rains were
witnessed for three or four days in
succession in Texarkana.
Rains have also fallen over the
western section of Red River Coun-
ty, and in the eastern portion. A
recent rain of sufficient duration to
benefit crops,, was reported from the
Madras section, but until yesterday
morning no rain' had fallen in
Clarksville. A good shower fell here
at that time, followed by threaten-
ing clouds.

passed upon by the supreme court
of the state.
Last week, when County Judge!
Geo. Morrison and Mayor Terr5’ went
to Austin for the purpose of pie- ;
senting the- papers in the Case to the
attorney general, they were inform- j
ed that a question had been raised j
in similar cases and it was at once I
decided that the best thing to do!
was to order another election and j
have all records, orders, etc., con-
form to the decisions of the supreme
court, regardless of the legality or
illegality of the recent election.
The question was presented in a
case reviewed in the Southwestern
Reporter 108, in the case of Parks
vs. West. This was a school district
case. Bonds were voted and the or-
der ret*}, with a tax “not to exceed
25c on the one hundred dollars.”
The case was appealed and the Court
ol^Eril Appeals at Dallas held that
th^^strict was legal, but that the
proposition of tax. “not to exceed
25c,” etc., was illegal. The case was
carried to the supreme court of the
st|^M This tribunal reversed the
d^^ln of the court of Civil Ap-
peals with reference to the legality
of the district, declaring that the
district was illegal. When this w^as
done the supreme court,, as we un-
derstand it, did not pass upon the
question of taxation, as this ques-
tion was not material, since the dis-
trict had been dissolved.
Had the supreme court passed up-
on the question of taxation it might
not have held the' wording ineffect-
ive.
No Opposition Anticipate*!.
The Clarksville election, and
probably other elections pending,
will likely be ordered for July 10,
and it is not likely that opposition
will be manifested in the Clarks-
ville district, "in view of the over-
whelming victory polled by the
bond adyocates on May 1, when a
majority of 497 was polled in favor
of the bond issue. Many bond op-
ponents announced as soon as the
result was known that they had vot-
ed against the issue, but that they
accepted defeat and were willing to
be governed by the majority. Three
times have the people of this com-
munity voted upon this question and
a majority vote was the result in
each instance—and an almost over-
whelming majority vote in the last
election.

Red River Crops Damaged.
Reports from the .river sections
indicate that recent rains have ef-
fected material damage to cotton
and corn, particularly the latter. On
mahy farms planting was late on ac-
count of the continued winter rains
and the recent rains have caused ad-
ditional trouble.
Heavy rains accompanied by wind
have damaged orchards, as well as
crops.

What Tree Missed.
Actors are proverbially charitable
and in wartime especially are calls
made upon their generosity. As the
leader of the theatrical profession
in England, Sir Herbert Tree has
been particularly energetic in com-
ing to the aid of his less fortunate
colleagues.
A good story is being told about
Sir Herbert and a certain clergyman.
They were sitting together at a pub-
lic luncheon, and the clergyman ask-
e& the actor what he had been doing
that day.
“Oh," replied Sir Herbert,“I went
for a motor ride this morning and I
it a bet. I made a bet that we
ould pass through 40 9 different
odors, and we only encountered
899.” '
“Ah," replied the clergyman
avely, “you missed the odor of
anoitity! ”
• -o--
Cheap at That.
J. Wade McGrath, one of the
prominent hotel men in,New York,
used to be behind the desks in sev-
eral Ohio hotels before he became
manager of the Hotel Hargrave. In
one hotel near Cleveland one of his
assistants showed an absolute dis-
pleasure for anything that looked
like work
One night a guest called up and in
an angry voice said: “There are a
couple of mice fighting up here!”
“What room have you?” inquired
the assistant languidly.
“Two dollars,” was the reply.
“Well, what do you expect for $2
- —a bull fight?”

Announcement Party.
-Mrs. Henry N. Lassiter gave a
lovely one o’clock luncheon Wednes-
day to announce the w-edding of
Miss Lucille Lassiter and Richard
Pierce Buckingham,“ Jr., of Waco,
which w'ill take place June the six-
teenth.
A six-course luncheon was served
at a handsomely decorated table
which was heart shaped and where
the color scheme was yellow and
white. The table was covered with
cluny lace doilies over yellow crepe.
The centerpiece was a minature pond
filled with gold fish and mechanical
swans, which swam about over a
mirror plateau placed in a bed of
marguerites and ferns.
Marguerites, palms and ferns ad-
ded the floral touch throughout the
entire reception suite.
Wedding rings were used as place
card, attached to them with white
maline bows were cards bearing the
announcement lettered in gold.

Over the Counter.
A traveling salesman tells of hi*
visit to a general store in Boston, j
where a woman was looking at
some hats. “Have you nothing of a
subdued paouse color?” she asked. ^
For a moment the salesman was
staggered, but he recovered his
rbeath and replied: I
“No, madam, but w-e have some
in enraged rat color.”
Another woman, in search of a
certain ‘ldnd of basket, made the
salesman reach down every article
of that nature on the shelves except
two. Then she said, as she turned
away. ' |
“I only cane to look for one of
my friends.”
“Madam,” said the weary sales-
man, “if you have the slightest idea
that your friends is in either of the
other two baskets, I shall be pleased,
to take them down.”
Not Their Fault.
