“Here’s where I drown a lot of
trouble,” said the careful camper,
pouring plenty of water on his camp-
fire.
WHO SHALL IT BE?
You no doubt have seen the two
signs, “Me for ‘Ma’,” and its com-
panion, “No ‘Ma’ for me—too much
‘Pa’,” which of course relates to the
candidacy of the Fergusons in the
gubernatorial race. Saturday, Aug.
23rd is going to tell the tale, and un-
til the votes are counted it will be a
guess. However, it may be interest-
jing to some to know how Lampasas
I county stood two years ago on the
j Mayfield-Ferguson vote for senator.
| Ferguson received 858 votes in that
! race, out of 1855 votes cast, and in
j the recent primaries Mrs. Ferguson
i received 839 votes, there being a total
of 2,496 votes cast, 1,457 votes being
divided among the 8 other candidates
in race for governor. Only 2270 votes
were cast for the gubernatorial can-
didates, leaving 226 votes which were
not counted for governor by reason of
all of the candidates being scratched,
or perhaps two or more names left
on the ballot.
Deputy Shei'iff Bob Short came in
Tuesday from Ardmore, Dkla., to take

ored, who was arrested here and is

FRENCH EVACUATE
TWO GERMAN TOWNS
Strasbourg, Alsace, France, Aug 18.
—French troops began their evacua-.
tion of Offenbourg and Appenweir
Monday morning and it was expected
they would be entirely out of the two
German towns sometime Monday
night.
An official announcement said the
evacuation of the two Baden towns
was due to the recent resumption of
international train services between
Paris and Warsaw and Paris and
Prague, the suppression of which on
the German section of the line caused
the occupation as a penalty in Feb-
ruary, 1923.
RENEWED TESTIMONY
No one in Lampasas who suffers
backache, headaches, or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore
this Marble Falls man’s twice-told
story. It is confirmed testimony that
no resident of this locality can doubt.
E. T. Nanney, proprietor of black-
smith shop, Main St., Marble Falls,
Texas, says: “I have used Doan’s
Pills off and on with good results
I took them for a hurting across the
small of my back which was worse
when I was at work and stooping. I
got a catch in my back when I
straightened up. A few Doan's al-
ways relieved me.”
Four years later Mr. Nanney added:
“My opinion of Doan’s Pills
is the same for they certainly are a
good remedy. I use Doan’s once in
a while and always receive fine re-
lief.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills — the same that
Mr. Nanney had. Foster-Milbum Co.,
Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.—Adv.
