CHANGES AND IMPROVE-
MENTS IN JUNCTION
_
N. C. Patterson is having the
interior of his jewelry store
made very attractive and con-
venient. A show window at the
front, when completed, will be
one of the nicest in town. A
partition has been built, cut-
tng the room in halves, the
front to be used for stock and
repair shop, the rear for stor-
i* age.
Geo. W. Cousins is making
i i arrangements to open a cafe in
connection with his bakery busi-
ness, using the front of the
. building now occupied for that
purpose. Work is now being
done to make a very attractive
eating place, when he is open
for business the last of next
week. Mr. Cousins says he will
# be prepaerd to furnish every-
thing in the way of eats that
the tourist will need, either
served in his cafe, or prepared
for camp lunches on the road.
Hamer Co., Phillip Joseph,
.1 Wahl Bros. & Jordon, Schreiner
Hodges Co., and the Hodges
Hotel have recently placed large
and very attractive road signs
on the different roads coming
into town. Aside from the ad-j
vertising value to those put-1
ting up the signs, there is an j
added value to the town in j
impression that these signs:
make on people from other |
places. It shows that the lo-{
cal business men are alive and
progressive, and gives the town
in general a good name among
the traveling public. The
Fritz Hotel has had a large
sign made, with a large hand
pointing to the hotel entrance, i
This sign will be placed on thej
** northeast corner of the hotel
lot, and an electric light will \
be over it.
■ The Junction Hardware Co.
has added a feature to their
road signs that will be greatly
appreciated by everybody. A
very attractive circular sign
about 2 1-8 feet in diameter
over a rectangular sign about
2 feet by three feet has been
mounted on individual posts
and will be placed at the coun-
ty line on all main roads lead-:
ing to Junction. They will
R show the names of the two
counties, the distance to Junc-
tion, and to the next town
reached by that road going [
from here. These signs will be
placed between Junction and
Brady. Junction and Mason, t
Junction and Kerrville, Junc-
tion and Menard. Junction and
Sonora, and Junction and Rock
Spriugs. These will furnish
furnish accurate information as
to distances, as well as direct
I ample to the progressive busi-
ress house that provided them.

RC8SELL TEST WELL
TO BE COMPLETED
Drillng on the Russell well,
aland twenty-two miles north-
west of Junction, and ala wit
the same distance from Menard,
will shortly be resumed and
those in charge say the well
tk will go down without further
interruption or delay. This
well was spudded in July, 1919,
anti was drilled to a depth of
around 1100 feet. Win, Shaf-
fer. now making his headquar-
ter- in Menard, is in charge of
•he well, ami has just com-
pleted arrangements for financ-
ing the test well, which will

PERMANENT DUMP
GROUND PROVIDED
A movement instituted at a
recent meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce, to clean up the
town, brought results Wednes-
day in the way of a necessary
improvement in the dumping
ground east of town that any
community might well be proud
of. The heavy rains Monday
and Tuesday prevented the car-
rying out of the plans for a
general clean up of the town,
but many business houses and
individuals made a creditable
showing anyway. Early Wed-
nesday morning, Mr. Loeffler
solicited as many volunteers as*
he could find to go to the
dump grounds to prepare a
practical and permanent ar-
rangement for future disposal
of the town trash. Most of
the business houses furnished
one or more men and several
individuals volunteered. Under
the direction of H. O. Denman,
whose generalship would make
a lance corporal want to wear
three stars, the work started.
The alacrity with which they
worked and the results obtain-
ed would put any prize-winning
section crew to shame. By
noon most of the trees on a
third of an acre of ground hud
been pulled out by the roots
and tin cans, rocks, and other
lubbish had been cleared away.
In the afternoon the fence was
placed around the cleared
ground and at the lower end
a chute built wheye trucks or
wagons can back and unload.
Four posts about ten inches in
diameter were placed in the
groumfr three feu and heavy
2x8 planks nailed against them
to serve as a bumper for trucks
and wagons, and no one need
be afraid of these posts giv-
ing way. Gravel was placed
in front of this, and also at
the entrance of the inclosure on
the road. There is no longer
any neccessity for any one
dumping trash, scrap iron, or
dead animals anywhere except
in this place provided Tuesday.
Any one dumping inside this
inclosure should and will be
prosecuted. The people of the
town should greatly appreciate
the efforts of those who took
time from their business to do-
nate work for the benefit of
every person n town. It would
seem that more people should
have been ready to help in this
work. John M. Hankins do-
nated 1*1 posts, the county gave
fhe used. Dun
Si (’lair furnished 7 extra large j
cedar |*>sts, and Schreiner-j
Hodges Co. furnished eight
fence posts, Dan St. Clair and
the Junction Hardware Co. ed?*h |
furnished a truck. The busi-j
ness houses furnished men as

HEAD OF 2200-POUND
STEER IS MOUNTED
The First National Bank re-
cently had the head of the big
J. L. Wright steer mounted by
B. O. Newby, local taxidermist,
and have the head hanging on
the wall of their banking housq.
The steer was slaughtered sev-
enal weeks ago by the local
market. It weighed over 2200
pounds and dressed 12G2 Lbs.,
and was doubtless the largest
steer ever sold to meat market
customers in Kimble County.
The mounting done by Mr.
Newby is a very excellent piece
of work, and the already at-
tractive interior of the First
National Bank is enhanced by
this attractive addition.
ROAD WORK PROGRESS-
ING IN KERR COUNTY
J. A. Peril, County Commis-
sioner of the precinct in Kerr
County in which that section
of highway now under construc-
tion is located, was in Junction
Friday of last week. Mr. Peril
reports the work on the roati
progressing very satisfactorily.
There are three different crews,
or sub contractors working at
three places between the line
and Mountain Home. Some six

(reek early in the morning
J earned from the rains that fell
| during the night prevented the
mail ear from going to Menard.
Mr. Warren made the trip, how-
ever, during the day, leaving
here a second time about noon,
and got back Tuesday after-
noon, after “sticking” several
times. The Sonora mail went.

It is the psychology
of youth turning
. into manhood
Ramsey
Milholland
*By *Booth Tarkington
One’s first impression is
of a very strange, intensely
reserved, almost stupid
boy. Reading on we see
the 4Hthor*s purpose. We
witness the actual unfold-
ing of a character and the
development of that slow
but clear thinking which
makes for irrefutable logic
and unalterable decisions.
There is a girl, brilliant in
the extreme, who by the
malicious jests of fate, is
made constantly to hamper
and outshine the boy. Finally
we see her character yielding
fn rnkatvd and eventually
*-»-------1
remade, by the sterner qual*
tries of the boy.
ToldwithallofTarkington’s
insight into the mind and
heart of youth and with all
his genius for depiAion, nar-
rative and humor. One of
his beat stones.

Mason mail got as far as Gen-
try Creek Tuesday and return-
ed to Mason on account of
high water in Gentry. Mr.
Jones, the driver, was nol able
to come over the route from
Mason Tuesday, and only got
to Junction about noon Wed-
nesday.
A rise estimated at 14 feet
come down in South Llano Mon-
day afternoon and another rise
followed Tuesday, but was sev-
eral feet lower. The river was
practically hack to normal Wed-
nesday night. Towards Kerr-
vilie the rains were also heavy.
The Tuesday’s Kerrville mail
did not get to Junction until
Wednesday afternoon.
During the past ten days tin
rainfall, according to the gov-
ernment gauge, kept by E.
Holekamp, showed to be 5.(5
inches. Other places in the
town and in different sections
<>t the county report an esti-
mated fail of over seven inches.
IT. M. Hodges had several buck-
lets set in different places in
I I is yard, free from any oh
struct ion. and states that the
water that fell in them meas-
ured (5.5 inches. We can’t
onibble over the exact amount.
Every section of this counts
