“IN A HURRY”
On some important busi-
ness errand, the mind must
be on the proposition in
mind, and not on one’s
physical well-being. And
who can attend to business
properly with the feet im-
properly shad ?

are built on solid lines out
of the best of leather and by
the best of workmen. The
PACKARD Shoes are mad©
to fit the feet properly and
to hold their shape indef-
initely. The PACKARD line
of Walking Shoes is particu-
larly complete, in that it
contains a style to suit the
most extreme and the most
conservative dresser. Get
aboard if you are not already
a PACKARD man.

It is time for business men,
farmers, mechanics, professional
men and all others to adopt the
“trade at home” slogan, and
practice it in all their dealings.
If all the money which comes to
Lampasas was spent in Lampa-
sas, there would be much more
prosperity.
Miss Bernice Clements is ex-
pected home tonight from Rich-
land Springs where she has reg-
ular employment in the public

L. Price is quite sick at her
home in the northern part of this
county, and he and his sister,
Mrs. Winnie D. McElroy, will
spend Sunday with her, while
Miss Bernice will spend the Sab-
bath here.
A Rank Outsider
Let Critics Take Notice.
It is said that an intelligent
lady once asked the author of a
well known dictionary why he
spelled the work “h-o-u-g-h”
and pronounced it “hock.” His
reply was characteristic of the
man and was in these words:
“Ignorance, madam,ignorance.”
The cynical woman had the prop-
er answer.
Many can criticise who cannot
perform. It requires an artist to
construct. A chronic critic or
faultfinder is rarely good for any-
thing else, and rarely is one
found who could improve on the
work criticised. Why take up
your own time and the valuable
time of others in a grouchy way,
when you and your listener could
both be profitably employed?
Persons who are disposed to
criticise typographic errors in
newspapers may read the follow-
ing compilation by a printer with
profit:
To set an ordinary column of
type requires ton thousand pieces
of type. There are seven posi-
tions in which each may be
placed, and there are 70,000
chances to make errors, besides
millions of chances to make
transpositions. In the sentence,
“To be or not to be,” by trans-
position alone, it is possible to
make 5,755,022 errors. Notwith-
standing that this is true, many
people say all manner of ugly
things about a newspaper when
they see a little error in its col-
umns and take a fall out of the
editor for being so careless and
ignorant.
S. B. Mallett, now living in
Austin, will accept thanks for
Mrs. W. D. Nevile, who has
been for some time a guest of
her father, John W. Moore, on
the Lampasas river, was in the
city and made The Leader a
pleasant call. She lives in the
She Ran, and Run jfcit of Money.
It’s an overlooked word, says
the Cleveland Plain-dealer, that
poor little monosyllable, “run”:
“I found a run started in my
best stocking this morning,”
said the woman, “so I thought
Pd run down town and go into
Brown’s where they are having
a great run on silk hose. They
ran an advertisement in this
morning’s paper, you know.
Well, I ran my eye over the bar-
ga ins on the way down and I saw
so many things I needed that I
ran out of money before I got to
the hose counter. Well, I’d run
my legs off by that time, but I
don’t run a bill at Smith’s, so I
was in despair^until who should
I run into but my husband. I got
more money of him—he more
generous than the general run of
men—but when I got to the
counter they’d run out of my
size. Wasn’t that a terrible run
of luck.”
And so she ran on and on and
on.
La mpasas had fewer flies last
year than at any time in its pre-
vious history, and the number
may be greatly lessened this
year by beginning the fight
against them in time. Let lime,
ashes and other purifyers be
used freely about all damp and
unclean places, and poisons and
fly paper be used when the flies
begin to show themselves. The
common housefly is now known
in the medical world as the “ty-
phoid fly,” and it has been prov-
en that it is the disseminator of
this the most dangerous and dif-
ficult of diseases. Swat the fly.
Bogin early and keep up the
work.
