rewery Owner of Hotel Issues “No
Booze” Order.
“Wine is a mocker, strong
rink is raging; anyone who is
eoeived thereby is not wise.”
“Look not upon the wine
hen it is red, when it lendeth
olor to the cup, in the end it
iteth like a serpent and stingeth
ke an adder.”
These biblical warnings against
ooze may be framed and hung
the Oriental bar if Manager
tto Herold maintains his prohi-
n. For the hotel has gone
dry.” An abstinence order was
sued to every employe there,
at before Manager Herold went
Harbor SpringsvMich., for his
cation.
‘Any employe who takes a
ink in the presence of the
anager or to his knowledge will
discharged,” was Herold’s
’der, issued previous to his de-
rture. __
The order against drinking
illows charges by affidavit
gainst Chas. E. East and Ralph
ingwalt. East, who was for-
rly secretrary-treasurer of
hotel association, and Ring-
t, who was cashier, are
rged with embezzlemnt.
Ringwalt, who fled in May, is
dw out on §10,000 bond. East
not in custody.
East conducted the bar in con-
ction with his other duties.
Manager Herold’s order is
iled by “pros” as a frank ad-
ission that the origin of ail the
tel’s difficulties was in the sa-
on.
Prohibition papers and the
ti-saloon forces of the state
ill make the most of the order.
They will point out that the
riental Hotel is owned by St.
buis brewing interests. The
usches, brewers of Budweiser,
id the Herold and Snyder fam-
es, brewers, too, are sole own-
s of the property here. The
ohibitionists deolare the order
Manager Herold is an admis-
n by brewing interests that
uor destroys a man’s compe-
ncy in a job.
They point out that if the Ori-
tal, owned by breweries as it
will not permit its employes
drink, the passing of the
:ewery is not far off.
The discipline of the anti-
inking order is actual, too.

Gean Up; Tidy Up; Paint Up.
A gallon of paint costs less
than §2 and will go a long way
toward covering your house. It
not only improves the beauty of
the structure, but preserves the
wood from decay. It is cheaper
to paint up than not to do so.—
Abilene Reporter.
Many a man spends thirty or
forty dollars to insure his house
against fire and refuses to spend
a cent to insure it against decay
and ugliness. The fire insur-
ance is an unavoidable obliga-
tion, if the owner is^a man of
judgment, but the painting can
be postponed or neglected alto-
gether without subjecting the
head of the house to a boring for
the simples. It should not be so.
To preserve a house from the
weather is not less a matter of
business than safeguarding it
from fire. Furthermore, a man
should have the same sort of
pride in his home that he has in
his clothes. To leave his domes-
tic mansion unpainted and un-
repaired is not less censurable
than to let his trousers go rip-
ped, his vest buttonless, his coat
tail ragged. For his porch'steps
to be rotten and dilapidated is as
bad as for his whiskers to look
like the calves had chewed them
whilst he slept. Far better a tidy
little house than a tumble-down
castle. Paint and * lanks are
cheap; brushes and saws are not
very costly. Any grown man
can do a fairly decent job of
painting, and any average papa
can saw boards and drive nails.
To permit one’s home premises
to become dilapidated for want of
a little expense of money and la- .

Hensel-Jones.
Cards received here announce
the marriage of Frederick Will-
iam Hensel and Miss Ara Lee
Jones, the ceremony having oc-
curred in Temple, at the home of
the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. Jones, Sept. 1st.
Mrs. Matt Smith attended the
wedding, she being a special
friend of the family.
Mrs. Hensel is a native of
Lampasas and spent her early
childhood days here. She is a
niece of Mrs. E. N. Wolf and a
cousin of P. E. Leatherwood of
this city.
Mr. Hensel is one of the pro-
fessors of the A. & M. College.
The couple left on the California
limited for the exposition, but
will be back in time for Prof.
Hensel to resume his duties at
A. & M. where they will make
their home. A
Marriage Licenses.
The following marriage licenses
have been issued by the county-
clerk since our last report:
E. C. Henderson and Miss Ger-
trude Parsons; Morgan H. Lewis
and Miss M. Elizabeth Cooper;
Edmund Warnken and Miss
Cathrin Stephens; R. R. Hart
and Mrs. Amanda Warren.
mirable. A pride of person or of
family which does not include a
pride of home is a sorry sort of
sentiment and misguided to boot.
Paint up! Mow the lawn! Re-
pair the porch! Screen the win-
dows! Swat the flies! And if
you can’t quit spitting on the
front steps move to the woods
and take up residence in a cave.

civilized community.—S t a t e

The open season for killing
doves, according to the new law
of the State of Texas, began with
September 1. The federal laws
provide that doves may be killed
from November 1, only. There
is the variation. While it is not
probable that the federal game
wardens will interfere wi^h any-
one in Texas for killing doves,
are
rmany Agrees to American Position.
Washington, Sept. 1.—Ger-
any accepted the declaration of
e United States in the subma-
e warfare controversy when
unt von Bernstorff, the Ger-
an ambassador, today gave
al and written assurances to
' cretary Lansing that no more
ssenger ships will be sunk
thout warning.
Apportionment for Schools is $6.
The State Board of Education
s fixed the state scholastic ap-
rtionment for 1915-1916 at §6
r capita. The new, scholastic
ar opened Sept. 1.
Last year’s scholastic oppor-
nment was $8 per capita, but
ly $7 has been collected and
id. To care for the §1 defi-
ncy brought over from last
ar’s apportionment, the board
is compelled to cut this year’s
portionment in a like sum.
Does advertising pay? (Ask
Mayor Sparks. He wanted to
sell the former home of his fath-
er, and made a contract to ad -
vertise it for several days, but
found that a mere mention of the
fact that it could be had at
§1,500.00 was ample, as R. S.
Mills went to his office at once
and closed the trade at the price
asked. Mr. Mills also believes
in advertising and has been al-
most a constant patron of the
Leader for many years. Adver-
tising will sell anything under
the sun, for there is always some
one that wants what you have
and all that is needed is to strike
the proper person. “Advertise
or burst” is about the way the
best business men now look at
the proposition. The Leader is
open for contracts by the year or
any other specified time. Walk
right in. The price is a small
consideration compared with the
results which advertising may
bring.
Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Elliott, who
live three miles south of Lam-
pasas, and Mrs. Elliott’s sister,
Mrs. Laura Elliott, have gone to
Kaufman, where a brother of the
ladies is seriously ill. They will
be gone a week or more.
try to distinguish between the
dove and the quail, and all is a
matter of sport for them. It is
hoped the hunters will observe
the state and federal laws, and
by the state law quail are pro-
tected until December the 1st,
while the federal laws only pro-
tect them to November 1st. While
there is also a conflict in time
here, the state law will probably
be enforced and it is well to be
careful. Doves are plentiful now,
but by November .they will all be
gone, whether they are shot by
hunters or not. Quail are not yet
grown and should be protected to
the full limit of the law. No per-
son is allowed to kill more than
fifteen birds of any character in
any one day. Be careful.
v Notice to Trespassers.
All persons are hereby notified
not to trespass on my farms
or pastures, or the farms and
pastures known as the J. H. H.
Berry and Walter Jones proper-
ties, which are controlled by me.

be allowed.

He has alsa been over a good
part of Texas, and thinks we
have as good crops in Lampasas
county as anywhere. Mr. Groves-
is in better health than he has
been for some time, and is glad
to visit his old home and be
among his friends.

Presbyterians to Build.
At the meeting of the official
board of the local Presbyterian
church a lot was selected upon
which to erect a church building
for the congregation; the prop-
erty just west of the city hall,
commonly known as the fire
station, being secured for that
purpose. It is proposed to begin
the erection of the building in a
short time, and it is expected that
the parent board of the church
will render some assistance in the
way of financing the proposition.
Plans have already been drawn
for the building and work will
soon begin. Just what will be
done with the present church
property is not yet determined.

states that Walter A. Willy was
appointed postmaster at Adams-
ville, vice W. R. Wagle, resign-

United Efforts Bring Results.
In another place in this issue
is an article showing how it is
necessary for all to work togeth-
er to build a city, and The Lead-
er comments on the same with
the idea of bringing our people
into that character of spirit and
so bring about greater success. ^
The building of sidewalks now
going on covering three principal
streets of the city, and a number
of cross streets, besides the work
being done at other places as a
result of this improvement being
required by the city fathers,
shows an example of what co-
operation and united effort may
do. The new awnings being
erected in front of various bus-
iness properties, also tends to
show that when one begins an-
other will probably follow in the
wake.
Nothing is the result of con-
tention, except that such con-
tention tends to separate people
further from each other, and to
tear down rather than to build
up. When governments disa-
gree, there is war. When com-
munities disagree jthere| is dis-
cord and v^ant of progress.
When families disagree^there is
contention, divorce, separation,
disgrace and all the resultant
concomitants. When citizens of
a town or city^disagree, contend,
backbite and cultivate |envy,
malice and discontent, there can
be no progress in that city or
town, but as a rule there ^will be
retrogression, discord, discon-
tent and general decline of all
interests.
One instance of^|co-operation
might be cited with^favorable
comment, and that incident oc-
curred recently in Lampasas,
about as follows: Three or four
of the leading dry goods stores
proposed to have a sale, and
each without the knowledge of
the other, made^great prepara-
tions for a sale^and advertised
their goods far and|wide through-
out the country, showing how
and why they had special bar-
gains that could not be elsewhere
obtained. The result was the
greatest summer sale ever known
in Lampasas, and all who'adver-
tised were in the beneficiary
class, the people coming to trade
possibly with one or more of the
stores which had^made the effort
to clean up goods which they de-
sired to sell, and buying from all
alike, without regard to friend-
ship or previous trading place.
Reports from all say that was the
greatest sale ever known in
Lampasas, and while it was in a
sense a competitive sale, it was a
united effort (possibly without
intention)-but a united effort all
the same, and the result proved
the benefit of the united effort.
It might be well to say that many
who did not advertise or take
part in this (competitive) united
effort shared in the sale to a
large extent and that without
spending a cent on display, or
investing a dollar in advertising.
The entire city thus enjoyed the
advantage of trade brought by
the united (unknown to each
other at the time) efforts of three
or four of the leading stores.
The question presents itself to
this writer, that if such results
can be produced^by such efforts,
why not the entire business ele-
ment of the city unite in efforts
frequently or constantly in bring-
ing trade to Lampasas.
As in business and in side-
walks, so in other things. Unity
brings strength. Division brings
weakness. Efforts put forth for
the betterment of Lampasas,
united efforts, will bring the city
into a class where it properly be-
longs and shows progress of
which we have never dreamed.
No progress can result from en-
vy, bickerings and strife. We
have tried pulling apart. Let us
try pulling together, and mqke
the united effort necessary to get
the best result.
