THE BANK THAT BACHS THE FARMER
Lucy- Moor* of StopherT-
ville is serving ae vice president
of the Cofer Law Society of the
University of Texas for the wint-
er term. She is also a member of
the Inner •Council, the governing'
body of Cap and Gown, the senior
girls’ organization, and her lead-
ership among the students has
been often recognized. She was
the student speaker chosen to ad-
dress the convocation on the day
of the sighing of the armistice.
The Cofer Law Society was organ-
ized for the purpose of enabling
law students to familiarize them-
selves with the atmosphere and
the methods of a court room by
the trial of actual cases. At some
time during the year, a trial of
peculiar interest is held to which
the public is invited. Judge R. E.
Cofer of the law department pre-
sides over the society which was
named in his honor. The complete
list of officers for the winter term
are: Owen Barker of Cisco, presi-
dent; Miss Lucy Moore of Steph-
enville, vice president; R. A.
Hightower of Henderson, clerk;
and T. R. Odell of Gustine, sheriff.

If side walks are not properly
constructed they soon go to pieces
and the work needs to be done over
hence it is very important that the
work should be done by compet-
ent men. Those who let the base
dry before the last course of ce-
ment is put on do not give a satis-
factory job, because it is a physic-
al impossibility to create homogen-
ity if the first course has harden-
ed. Then, too, if sufficient cement
has not been used the job is worth-
less.

NO JOBS TOO SMALL OR TOO LARGE
When prices for farm products
were Jow, and the seasons so un-
certain the yields were light,
Charley Burton states that he al-
most lost hope. At the end of
each season when he paid up it
took everything he made, and he
entered the next farming cam-
paign with a heavy heart and
tired feet. It’s different now, he
mvs. Everything looks promis-
ivflj, and he goes to his work with
a song on his lips, and if he wants
an extra newspaper or p magazine
he can buy it withoutjfceling that
he in using money ft^Ewes his
creditors. Charley wres the
change.
Mark Jackson was reared six
miles east of Stephenville, and
when he grew to manhood he left
this section for thee west where
there was lots of room for expan-
sion. However, his friend Sam
Russell, now county attorney, says
the reason he left was because he
was so mortal homely he was
afraid none of the girls would fall
in love with him. Be that as it
may, Mark is and always was a 100
per cent man, and is in no wise
responsible for his lack of facial
pulchritude or the abnormal de
velopement of another admirable
quality, pudency. He was here
this week meeting a lot of friends.
The "Soulless Corporation"
1 , H.<m pt»TM
'Because the Telephone Company is a corporation
docs not necessarily mean that it is without hon-
or or the desire to deal fairly; that it is not as an-
xious as any other business enterprise to serve
you satisfactorily, at a fair price, and to merit
your good will.
The side-walks in front of H.
Muffson’s residence is scheduled
for completion this week., They
embrace 104 feet on Washington
street and the same number of
feet on the west side. The grade
was cut down over four feet, which
leaves the residence on a terrace,
which increases the artistic ap-
pearance of the property five hun-
dred per cent. Concrete steps lead
from the Washington street walk
to the front door.
We desire to express to our
many friends our sincere appre-
ciation of the many kindnesses ex-
tended to us Tn. tVie loss of our
son Earl Talmage, Jr. We feel
that we have suffered a loss for
which we can never be compehsat-
ed yet it is with grateful hearts
that we received your offers of
aid and sympathy and it is good
to know and feel the brotherly
comradeship brought to us by this
event.—Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Chand-
ler. ad.
Tuesday T. A. Cox went to
Fort Worth with his daughter,
Miss May, ten years old, who was
suffering from appendicitis. Mr.
Cox stated that he believed an op-
eration would be necessary as
inflammation had commenced.
For several weeks a daughter of
Mrs. A. B. Hays has been quite ill,
and she was taken to Fort Worth
Tuesday, and Wednesday an opera-
tion was made on her arm where
pus had formed. It had caused
her to have high fever.
In last week's Tribune the state-
ment was made that Mrs. Horace
King was paid $1000 insurance by
the W. O. W. This was incorrect.
The insurance was carried in the
Modern Woodman, and was paid
by this organization.

Corporations— ev*‘n public service corporations
—are simply associations of men and women,
mana)»r*d and operated by men and women, all of
whom are just as human as men ami women in
other walks of life.
These men and women who are the Telephone
Company have every reason for Irvin" their best
to make their management and service acceptable
to you —their places, pay and promotion depend
upon just that thing!
