The business session of the Cham
ber of Commerce weekly luncheon,
Wednesday, at the Wachen Hotel,
was presided over by the vice-presi-
dent, J. H. Andrew. There was a good
attendance and the meeting was very
much enjoyed, though very little bus-
iness was brought before the meet-
ing.
It was voted to recommend to the
■moard of directors and the manager
of Anderson Park that a playground
for children be established in the
park. It was suggested that swings,
chutes, a merry-go-round or other
similar devices for the amusement of
the children be placed in the grounds
at some convenient place.
The advertising committee reported
that the Santa Fe railroad had sent
250 envelopes to be used by the ad-
vertising committee in mailing out
literature to Santa Fe agents for the
purpose of advertising Lampasas and
the reduced railroad rates to this
place. Waddell Northington is out
this week distributing advertising
matter and will spend the entire week
on this work. He will be the speaker
fo rthe luncheon of next week and will
tell of the work he has done while on
this trip. All members should attend
the luncheon next week and hear the
report he will have to make. John F.
Peeler reported that two traveling
men had taken advertising matter
and would distribute it in territory
that would not be visited by Mr.
Northington.
R. E. Rawls, who has recently re-
turned to Lampasas after an absence
of about eighteen months, was called
on by the chair to make any remai'ks
that he flight care to. He stated he
was indeed glad to be back with the
Chamber of Commerce and take part
in the work they were carrying on.
| Mr. Rawls spoke of the Texas Public
! Utilities Co., that had recently come
! into Lampasas and expressed his
' gratification of this fact which he
! believes will be of great benefit to
• this town and territory.
J. H. Andrew said he believed in
“flowers for the living,” and had a
i few words also to say about the Texas
Public Utilities Co., and their work
in Lampasas.
Leon M. Gilmore, district manager
for the Texas Public Utilities Co.,
stated that he appreciated such
marks and gave
what they intended doing for the bet-
terment of their service and develop-
ment of this territory. They have re-
cently taken over the light and power
plant at Marble Falls and that town
will be added to this, district. The
high line has been completed to Kil-
leen and power turned on there the
past week. Copperas Cove will prob-
ably be furnished power within the
next ten days, and the crew is now
at work on the line to Lampasas, and
the substation here will probably be
connected up within the next 60
days. The company is ma^iftf^a sur-
vey of the natural resources of this
section and quite a bit of advertising
will be given this county by the mag-
azine they are publishing.

A GOOD COLLECTION LETTER
It is reported that one of the fas-
tidiously newly married ladies of
this town kneads bread with her
gloves on. This incident may be
somewhat peculiar, but there others.
The editor of this paper needs bread
with his shoes on; he needs bread
with his shirt on; he needs bread with
his pants on, and unless some of the
delinquent subscribers to this “Old
Rag of Freedom” pony up before
long, he will need bread without a
darn thing on, and Wisconsin is no
Garden of Eden in the winter time.—
Melrose (Wisconsin) Chronicle.
It would appear from the above
that the Boys sometimes have pretty
hard collections out in Wisconsin. Our
advice would be, come to Texas—or
better still, to Lampasas. Collections
here among the newspaper men are
good, and if they do become a little
slow we have big hearted business
men who will let our accounts “ride”
thirty or sixty days.

Houston, Texas, May 17.--Going to
Galveston on an excursion Saturday
cost Rev. O. M. Huey of Louisville,
Ky., messenger to the Southern Bap-
tist convention, $100 plus the rail-
road fare.
“I thought at first there were only
Baptist ministers on the car,” the
Rev. Mr. Huley said, “but I am sure
other than messengers to the confer-
ence must have been passengers.
Needy as Baptist preachers often are
I am sure they would never resort to
pocket picking.”
PANHANDLE WHEAT
CROP UNUSUALLY BIG
AMARILLO, Texas, May 18.—A
bumper wheat crop, estimated at 22,-
000,000 bushels, believed the largest
since 1919, will be grown on the
plains of the Panhandle this year,
according to estimates compiled yes-
terday by the Panhandle Grain Asso-
ciation, in their annual convention..
A total of 16,635 freight cars wili
be required to move the crop frem
the fields to elevators and shipping
points, it was estimated.
Optimistic reports were heard from
practically every town in the Pan-
handle in regard to crop prospects in
which the number of cars required to
move the crop and the percentage ol
acreage planted to wheat in regard to
former years, were required.
SMITH TO SIGN CALL
FOR DRY REFERENDUM
ALBANY, N. Y., May 18.—Govern-
or Smith indicated at a hearing late
Tuesday that he would sign the Karir-
Phelps bill, passed by the 1926 legis-
lature, which calls for a Statewide
referendum on the prohibition ques-
tion. He believes that the measure
furnishes the people of the State
their first legitimate opportunity to
express their views on prohibition.
Bandmaster A. B. Ronald and We
junior band left Wednesday after-
noon for the Colorado River where
they will spend several days fishing.
This will be a nice outing for the
boys and they are all hoping that the
fish are biting.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Fountain left
on train W ednesday morning for
Temple where they will join Mr. and
Mrs. Mert Compton from Waco, who
are traveling by auto, and the party
will go on to San Antonio. From San
