.OCAL FIRE BOYS TO
RECEIVE RECOGNITION
Stephenville people are proud
>t their fire boys, and always re-
spond generously to any calls
made on them for financial aid,
bnd these boys won the confidence
and admiration of the citizenahip
because of their loyal devotion to
duty. It has npver been too cold,
too muddy or fires too far away
to prevent these boys from going
out and making brave fights to
save property, from destruction.
They have fought fires when it
was so cold some of them would
be encased 1n ice, and many of
the brave fellows have ruined per-
fectly good suits of clothes while
in the line of duty. They have
t^ade these fights under the most
verse conditions, such as inade-
ate equippage and lack of
ter pressure, but always they
i$cceeded in preventing large
nflagrations. But there is now
rift in the clouds, and the
uture is rosy with promises
which soon will eventuate in full
fruition. The city council has
promised these boys a new truck
to replace the worn out one, and
likely a chemical engine will also
be forthcoming. Citizens must
continue their loyalty to this ag-
gregation of unselfish men for
they stand ready always to make
sacrifices when fires begin to
threaten the destruction of their
homes. A good fire department
well equipped to control fires
means cheaper insurance rates.
If these boys need something be-
yond the ability of the city to
purchase then it must be paid for
by private donations. These boys
must lack for nothing to enable
them to do effective work.

EX-ERATH CITIZEN
IN TERRY COUNTY
R. M. Moorehead moved from
Stephenville to Brownfield in
Terry county, where he bought
land at $38 -per acre, and heik 9. W. Luker, T. E .Hughes, Jne.
Trib .....
writes to the Tribune that he has
sold it for $65 per acre, and
made another purchase near Mea-
dow. He writes that Dr. Moore-
head has one of the finest drug
stores in that section, and that he
is well satisfied. The banks are
in fine shape because farmers
planted corn and maize and have
plenty to keep and are shipping
at the rate of 3 to 8 cars per day,
300 having already been shipped,
and over 60 immigrant cars ar-
rived lately for that section, and
people are camped around in
tents, awaiting opportunity to
rent or buy homes. He says al-
though the county has been orga-
nized only a few years its people
are taking great interest in regis-
tered cattle and pedigreed chickT
ens, and he predicts that soon his
county will rank as one of the
most progressive in Texas.

Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Jones, cele-

ed in front of a picture of a large
donkey, and in trying to pin his

Promotion
Tomorrow the great industrial enterprises must recruit
their executives from the young men of today.
The demand for men of vision, energy and aggressive-
ness will be greater as the years go by; but, with all
other qualifications you must have first proven your
ability to handle your own personal financial affairs be-
fore you can be entrusted with the greater responsibility.
A proper banking connection is. one of the most impor-
tant steps in a young man’s career.
Make the acquaintance of our officers, and let us co-
operate with you.
