It has been the custom in the past
to have a full holiday on Armistice
day. This year, however, Armistice
falls on Saturday and it. was thought
inadvisable to attempt to close on that
day. Saturday is the busiest day of
the week for Lampasas merchants
and it was thought that it would be
the
farmers to close on that day.
Arrangements have also been made
whereby the annual Armistice foot-

STATE WARNS AGAINST RABIES
The State Hygienic Laboratory of
the State Department of Health re-
ceived over two thousand animal
heads during the past year for exam-
ination to determine whether or not
the animal had rabies. Luckily, only
about one-fourth of the heads receiv-
ed were positive for rabies. Three
hundred and twenty-seven persons
were given treatment at the State
Laboratory; others were treated in
their home towns.
Rabies is transmitted to man thru
a bite or having a cut exposed to the
saliva of a rabid animal. Bites thru
clothing vare not as dangerous as
bites on exposed surfaces, because
the saliva is wiped off as the tooth
passes through the cloth.
If a person is bitten, the offending
animal should be penned, if possible,
for a period of ten days. If the ani-
mal is normal at the end of that
time, the case can be dismissed. If
it is necessary to kill the animal,
this must be done in such a manner
that the brain is not destroyed. If
it is, an examination to determine
whether or not the animal had rabies
will be impossible. If the head is
sent to the Pasteur Institute, care
should be used in properly icing it to
prevent decomposition.
Rabies is commonly supposed to be
a disease of warm weather, but the
warmth of weather has no influence
on the disease. On the contrary,
rabies is more prevalent during the
winter months because exposure to
the cold lowers the resistance of the
animal. It is true that more dogs
are killed during the summer months,
but the percentage of rabies is low.
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Frazer and
daughter, Miss Dorothy Lee, and Mr.
and Mrs. F. J. Harris visited Sunday
in Ballinger with relatives. They
also spent a short time in Brown-
wood on the return trip.
Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Matthews spent
^ the week end at Austin and Taylor,
where they visited their children.
They' visited their son, W. B. Mat-
thews, in Austin, and their daughter,
Mrs. J. V. Geren in Taylor.
Mrs. S. J. Campbell-Scott receiv-
ed a message Tuesday evening stat-
ing that her sister, Mrs. S. J. Payne
had passed away at her home in
Houston. Mrs. Campbell-Scott and
her son, H. V. Campbell, left Wed-
nesday for Houston to attend the
funeral services. Mrs. Payne made
her home in Lampasas several years
ago with her sister and will be re-
membered by many Lampasas people.

LEONARD A. WILSON
IS BURIED SUNDAY
Miss Daphne Jones and Paul
Brown were married Saturday night
at the home of Mrs. Charlie Tumlin-
son near Lake Victor. Rev. George
Brown, brother of the bridegroom,
performed the ceremony. They left
immediately after the ceremony for
a short wedding trip to San Antonio.
Mrs. Brown is the popular daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Earnest Jones
of near Lampasas. She is a grad-
uate of the high school here and has
attended the University of Texas.
She has been bookkeeper at the Pio-
neer Garage for some time and will
continue to hold her position there.
Mr. Brown is a son of Mrs. George
Brown. He is a graduate of the
Lampasas High School, and has been
employed for several years at the
Gartman Music Shop. I
Mr. and Mrs. Brown are one of
Lampasas’ most popular young coup- j
les. Their marriage is the culmina- j
lion of a four year courtship, and ;
really wasn’t a very great surprise |
to their many friends. They are ■
making their home at their new a-
partment at the home of Mrs. Ed .
Easters on Second Street.
LIONS WILL SPONSOR
RED CROSS ROLL CALL
Funeral services for Leonard A.
Wilson were conducted Sunday after-
moon at 3 o’clock and interment fol-
lowed in the Senterfitt cemetery.
Rev. A. C. Nance of Lometa had
charge of the services. Mr. Wilson
died Saturday afternoon at 6:30
o’clock at his home in Lometa.
Mr. Wilson was 32 years of age
and was an ex-service man. He came
to Lampasas county when he was 12
years of age and has lived here since
that time.
LAMPASAS LOSES FOOTBALL
GAME TO GEORGETOWN
EDWARD MATTHEWS RE-
TURNS HOME FROM TEMPLE
Edward Matthews, who was seri-
ously injured in an auto accident near
Evant a short time ago, was brought
to his home here Sunday from a
Temple hospital in the Briggs and
Gamel ambulance. He received two
broken ankles, a broken arm and an
injured back in the accident, but he is
getting along nicely now.
Hie Lampasas Badgers lost a hard
fought game Saturday night to the
Georgetown Eagles, by the score of
13 to 6. The teams werei rather even-
ly matched and the outcome of the
game was doubtful until the last
quarter of the game, when the Eag-
les put over the winning touchdown
and kicked the extra point.
Auby Brown scored the touch-
down for the Badgers on a pass. The
aerial work of the Badgers has im-
proved considerably. Especially is
the passing of Marvin Dickason re-
ceiving approving comments from
the fans. He shows promise of de-
veloping into a real passer.
The Badgers are improving all the
time and will probably develop into
a fairly good team before the season
is over.

THIS HEN DOING DOUBLE DUTY
Our friend B. W. Fox, who lives
out on Mesquite Creek, handed us a
box this week which we were at first
afraid to open but after being assur-
ed by our pastor, Rev. A. F. Avant,
who was in his company at the time,
that it was all right we looked in.
Not that we could doubt the word of
Mr. Fox, but we were really not sure
just who the package was coming
from but thought possibly the preach-
er was getting back at us for not at-
tending church as regularly as we
might.
It was indeed a curiosity which Mr.
Fox brought in from his farm. There
were two eggs that were joined to-
gether by a strip about two and a
half inches in length. Both eggs
were soft shell and the connection
seems to be of the same material
as the egg shells. These eggs were
found on the ground near a drinking
trough and it is not known whether
they were laid by a chicken or tur-

Approximately 30 people from
Lampasas boarded the two east-
bound, trains here Saturday night to
go to the State Fair at Dallas on the
special excursion rates offered by
the Santa Fe. It was an extremely
enthusiastic and excited crowd that
left here Saturday night and a very
tired and sleepy one that got off the
3 o’clock train here Monday morning
at 7:30 o’clock. Due to some kind
of engine trouble the train came in
about 4 and a half hours late, caus-
ing the local passengers to have to
spend 10 hours of the usual sleeping
hours in a chair car. Many of them
report that if you ever tried to sleep
in a chair car, you’ll understand how
much sleep they have had. Several
of them were considerably worried
about their jobs because they were
supposed to be at work at 7 or 7:30
o’clock. Everyone who visited the
fair stated that they had a wonder-
ful time but they wouldn’t like to
make the same trip again right
away.

their meeting Tuesday, to sponsor ther
Red Cross roll call which will be
held from Nov. 11 to 30 and a com-
mittee was appointed to solicit mem-
berships from the business firms erf
the city. Frank Baker and C. B.
Koon were appointed as chairmen of
committees to visit the business*,
houses. They will select the neces-
sary members to assist them in the-
work and will be ready when the-
drive starts.
The president of the club appointed'
a committee at the last meeting to*
visit a home in Lampasas and see
what was necessary to care for the
members of the family who are in-
destitute circumstances. The com-
mittee reported they had visited the
home and felt that the family would-
be properly cared for.
President Blucher urged the mem-
bers of the local club to make an ef-
fort to attend the meeting which the
Austin club will have on Thursday-
evening, October 26. It will be ladies’'
night with the Austin club and s.
dance will follow the banquet and a
charge of $1.00 will be made and
that includes the dance. The A ms-
tin club always provides a worth
while program and several of the
local Lions will probably attend.
The club entertainment "for the--
luncheon Tuesday was in charge ox--
Lions Dickens and Greeson and they
had with the club Lawrence Williams
Jr., Virgil Wooten and Mack Riefa-
ey. Williams at the piano and Woot-
en with the guitar furnished several
numbers which were enjoyed very
much by the Lions. Mack Riehey
gave two vocal numbers and one of‘
these was in Spanish. He has a good'
voice and it was a pleasure to have
him as one of the visitors at the
luncheon.
The entertainment is always ar-
ranged by two members of the elub

feature of the club’s luncheons.
President Blucher expressed the
club’s thanks for the visitors and,
their program and also extended the;
thanks of the club to the ladies who:
served the excellent meal in the ati—
nex of the Methodist Church.
