Have You Tried It?
■people who know say it is the
best flour ever shown in Lampa-
sas. It has the wheat quality,
properly treated before milling,
then handled carefully by the
best machinery in use. Clean
handling after received here
makes it sanitary. This is WHITE
CREST FLOUR. Your neigh-
bor will tell you about. . Try it.

While Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie
McLean and children were driv-
ing Sunday evening the team ran
away. The wheel of the buggy
struck a telephone post, breaking
the wheel and throwing part of
the occupants out. Two of the
children were slightly hurt and
were taken to the doctor for at-
tention.

ports having had trouble with his
well, suspecting that it was fail-

inder. He had it fixed and now
has plenty of water.
Dr. H. F. Dickason is adding
an upper story to the rear of the

Mitchell & Son. The improve-
ment is a novel one, in that the
upper story is being constructed
before the lower story, the joists
being placed in the walls, places
having been left when the ad-
joining houses were constructed,
and the roof will then be added.
This apartment, when completed,
will be occupied by the Rogers
Photo Gallery.
W. H. Simmons announces in
this issue as a candidate for re-
election to the office of county
commissioner of Precinct No. 1.
Mr. Simmons is now completing
his second term in this office and
has made a faithful and efficient
representative of the people.
While looking closely after the
general interests of the county
he has devoted special attention
to the condition of the roads and
to the care of the county farm.
His work has been excellent and
shows for itself. He asks for
your support and influenoe be-
fore the democratic primary elec-
tion.
Thomas Slaughter, one of the
original settlers of the eastern
part of this county, was among
the visitors here Saturday and
had The Leader sent to his home
for the year. Mr. Slaughter has
one of the most fertile and pro-
ductive farms on Mesquite creek,
some seven miles from Lampa-
sas, and has recently put in some
extra fine valley land which was
almost in front of his residence.
He also has some of the high
hills connecting the low valleys,
but it all answers a good purpose
in providing grazing for his
stock. He owns the entire creek
for quite a distance, and usually
has plenty of water on his place.
D. C. Bodenhamer, of the
Espyville neighborhood, was
among the pleasant callers on
The Leader. He has some sheep
on his farm and knows how to
care for them so as to produce a
profit. It is a pleasure to know
the members of this family; with
some of whom the editor has been
closely associated at intervals for
many years. There are several
brothers of them, all reliable and
worthy.
Blamed a Good Worker.
Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Townsend, of School creek, on
the 8th inst., a daughter.
Mrs. Y. C. Carlisle has return-
ed from a week’s visit to her par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lank-
ford, on Lampasas river.
Mrs. John Walker, who. has
been spending the past week with
J. G. Walker’s family, has re-
turned to Belton, where she will
join her husband,
Mrs. W. E. McLean and chil-
dren, who have been spending
the past three weeks visiting rel-
| atives and friends on School
creek and Lometa, are at home.
They report having a pleasant
visit and are looking well.
Mesdames A. R. Townsen and
A. T. Roberson, accompanied by
their children, are here from Dal-
las to visit their parents, Mr. and
Mrs. T. C. Bivins. They will
make San Antonio their future
home.
P. T. Webster, one of the di-
versification farmers from a few
miles west of Lampasas, was
here Saturday and made The
Leader a pleasant business call,
paying for the two copies of this
paper which he has been taking
for years. Mr. Webster has the
honor of having produced the
first bale of cotton in this county
last year, and made a better crop
on his land than many others, by
attending strictly to his work and
giving it proper thought and at-
tention. He also raises good
hogs and other stock and rarely
comes to the city without sbme
kind of produce to dispose of for
ready cash. That is the road to
success. ~r
P.A. LeCompte, of Adamsville,
was here Friday and made The
Leader a pleasant business call.
He is one of the fine stock grow-
ers of the county that always
stays with his work, and has re-
sults to show for themselves. He
raises fine sheep and imports
good breeding stock from the
northern states and keeps up the
registration while improving his
own flocks. He also gets some
fine short horn cattle now and
then from the “old Kentucky
home” and raises the best cattle
of that breed in this part of the
state. A good thing in connec-
tion with his business is that
there is always a ready demand
for all the good stock he has for
sale.
T. W. Smith, father of our
townsman, S. J. Smith, died Sun-
day morning in Dallas at the
residence of his daughter, Mrs.
Kennedy, with acute Bright’s
disease after three days sickness.
He had made hishome here with
his son prior to going to Dallas
to visit his daughters, Mesdames
Kennedy and Simpson. S. J.
Smith left here Saturday night
for Dallas but failed to arrive in
time to see his father alive. T.
W. Smith was a native of Missis-
sippi and had lived in Texas
about twenty years. For many
years he was a member of the
Methodist church and was known
and loved by many of the citizens
of Lampasas. He was 83 years
of age, and seemed to be in ex-
cellent health when he left here.
S. J. Smith and J. D. Simpson
accompanied the body to Ripley,
Miss., where it was laid to rest
by the side of his wife who died
many years ago. His son, Dr.
T. W. Smith, resides at Ripley.
“I blamed my heart for severe dis-
tress in my left side for two years,”

ney troubles, constipation, headache or
debility. 25c at hll druggists.

The Man Who Wins.
The man who wins is the man
who works—
The man who toils while the next
man shirks;
The man who stands in his deep
> distress
! With his head held high in the
deadly press—
Yes, he is the man who wins.
j The man who wins is the man
who knows
| The value of pain and’the worth
of woes—
1 Who a lesson learns from the
man who fails
And a moral finds in his mourn-
ful wails—
Yes, he is the man who wins.
The man who wins is the man
who stays
In the unsought paths and the
rocky ways,
And, perhaps, who lingers, now
and then,
To help some failure to rise
again—
Ah,'he is the man who wins!
—Selected.
The boy who goes to his busi-
ness and at his business begins
by simply doing the things he is
told to do, and doing them in a
common and ordinary way, if he
stops here, he remains all his life
long a drudge. But if he begins
to see that business has a signifi-
cance, that his life is not mere-
ly sweeping the store, not mere-
ly writing letters, not merely
selling goods; if he begins to see
the higher life involved in busi-
ness, if he begins to see that bus-
iness is a greater instrument of
beneficence, that trade is cloth-
ing thousands of men where
charity clothes ten; that agricul-
tural and milling industries are
feeding thousands of men where
charity feeds ten; if,-he begins to
see how the whole history of the
world is linked together, and is
God’s way of building up hu-
manity and serving humanity—
as he gets this larger view, and
enters into it, life is enriched
and becomes itself the minister
whereby love is enlarged and
conscience is strengthened, the
school wherein he is educated
out of the lower into the higher.

A scald, burn, or severe cut heals
slowly if neglected. The family that
keeps a bottle of Ballard’s Snow Lini-
ment on hand is always prepared for
such accidents. Price 25c, 50c and $1.00
per bottle. Sold by all druggists.
A siphon 1150 feet under the
Hudson river will soon supply
the mains of New York with water
from a creek 127 miles away.
Two bores were made beneath
the bed of the river and so ac-
curately did the engineer calcu-
late that the boers came together
in the center to the fraction of an
inch. The siphon will cost $2,-
800,000 when completed. Be-
cause of the enormous pressure
of the mighty underground river,
due to the drop it must take to
go under the river, the tunnel
had to run through solid granite.
To find such rock under the
river was so difficult that it took
two years, and boring at fourteen
different points, before the en-
gineers found favorable condi-
tions. Work on the shaft began
in 1907, and the tunneling in
January of last year. When it
had progressed about 300 feet a
stream of water broke in and
threatened to fill it. It took six
months to pump it out.—Ex.
Our Influence Over 0th
Every human being that co
in contact with others, exerci
an influence upon them whet
he will or not. A certain
dent when urged by his teac
to take a stand on some v
question because of his influe
upon others, replied, “Bu
don’t care to influence anyon
It is not a question of will,
long as you remain in the woi
and form a part of the mass
mankind, you exert an influen
and are responsible for the eff
of your life upon others, howey
much you may desire to esc
from it. Paul said, “Hav
therefore opportunity, let ue
good to all men.” He m
have said with as much t
that, having the power to in
ence others let us exert it
their good. Cain said, ‘‘A
my brother’s keeper?” The
swer from God was, “The vo
of thy brother’s blood crieth
to me from the ground.”
Many deny that they exert
influence on others, or not des
ing to do so,' they are not
sponsible, but the fact rema
that they have an influence a
are responsible for it.
Accepting these statements
true, and no one can successfu
controvert them, there is mu
meaning attached to the m
fact of living. “There are ho
in every life and lives in eve
generation which belong to t
common good. No life indeed b
longs anywhere else except as b
devoting it to the individual sel
it tends to make that self mor
fit for general service. We.mus
get, to give, we must climb that
we may lift, we must be strong to
aid the weak, that is the law of
the kingdom.”
He Won’t Limp^Now.
No more limping for Tom Moore of
Cochran, Ga. “I had a bad sore on my
instep that nothing seemed to help till
I used Bucklen’s Arnica Salve,” he
writes, “but this wonderful healer soon
cured me.” Heals old, running sores,
ulcers, bbilSj' burns, cuts; bruises, ecze-
ma or piles. Try it. Only 25 cents at
all druggists.
Seventy-five farmers in Hous-
ton county have given over plots
of ground ranging from one to
five acres to be devoted to the
raising of various crops under the
immediate direction and super-
vision of Prof. B. F. Whiteside,
the United States government
farm and crop expert of the
bureau of plant industry. Ever
variety of crop will be cultivate
so that the value of scientific
methods can be demonstrated.
Stock raising and dairy and
poultry raising will be given at-
tention. Prof. Whiteside’s meth-
od is to have the farmer owning
the plot prepare the soil for the
particular seed to be sown and
the care given the growing crop
which has proven to give the best
results. These farmers are called
demonstrators and are furnished
with literature and data relating
to the crop being raised free of
charge, and are required to make
monthly reports showing prog-
resp. Franking privileges for
communications relating to the
crops under study are also ex-
tended by the government to the
demonstrator. In addition to the
demonstrators any farmer who
will agree to conduct the whole
or any part of his farm under the
supervision of the expert receives
literature and instructions, and
suggestions are made to him from
time to time to aid in bringing
about the best results in raising
and marketing his crop. Such
farmers are called co-operators.

Shocking Sounds
in the earth are sometimes heard be-
fore a terrible earthquake, that warn
of the coming peril. Nature’s warn-
ings are kind. That dull pain or ache
in the back warn you the kidneys heed
attention if you would escape those
dangerous maladies, Dropsy, Diabetes
or Bright’s disease. Take^JElectric Bit-
ters at once and see backache fly and
all your best feelings return. “My son
received great benefit from their use
for kidney and bladder trouble,” writes
Peter Boridy, South Rockwood, Mich.,
It is certainly a great kidney medi-
cine.” Try it. 50c at all druggists.
