Weighed m the Balance
many ways a] bank check^ is better than
gold coin. Here’s one way to weigh them. Watch
the way the balance tilts.
If Jones paid you what he owed you today in
gold and Smith gave you a check for his indebted-
ness and you put the check and gold in your
pocket book and then lost the pocket book, what
would happen? Why, Smith would notify the bank
and then issue you another check. But Jones, who
paid the gold, would politely decline to pay you a
second time. See the advantage in favor of the
check?

to visit his parents and other rel-
atives.
Mrs. W. H. Adkins has return
ed to Lometa, after a pleasan^
visit here with her sister, Miss
Belle Fletcher.
Mrs. H. H. Packer is at home
from Water Valley, Texas, where
she spent several weeks teaching
in a normal school. Her mother,
Mrs. M. L. Baker, was with her
and they enjoyed the time spent
in the west.
A1 Oeding, who has been the
guest of his brother, L. T. Oed-
ing, for several days, has return-
ed to his home in San Antonio.
H. M. Edens and family, of
Georgetown, are guests for a time
of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Roberts,
at their home on Western Avenue
Miss Annie Maud Whigham,
now regularly employed at Tem-
ple, is visiting her sister, Mrs. D.
T. Briggs. Miss Flossie Hucka-
bee, also of Temple, is with her.
Charles Maund, who has been
visiting relatives here for some
weeks, has returned to his work
at New* Orleans, His wife will
remain here with relatives for
some time.
Miss Ferrell Lewis, one of the
.regular and faithful employes of
this office, has enjoyed her.,vaca-
tion this week, and has been at
home with her father. She will
resume her place Monday.
Rain fell in spots around the
city Friday afternoon, though
there was only a light shower
here. Heavy rains fell a few
miles north, and to the south-
ward it looked as if the precipi-
tation might have been heavy.
Cotton prices are not satisfac-
tory, and while some of-the farm-
ers are selling as they gather the
staple, others are taking their
cotton home in the bale and will
depend upon a better market
later in the season.
John Webb, of the Dobyville
community, is at home from a
visit to his father at Newport,
Tennessee. Like a dutiful son
should, Mr. Webb visits his father
almost every summer and always
enjoys a look at the old home
and surroundings.
Mr. Slaughter, of Mesquite
creek, left at The Leader office a
freak in the way of an effort to
produce corn. The stalk at the
“shoot” seems to have “shot to
pieces” there being only small
blades at this point where there
should have been an ear of corn.
The blades resemble the blades
of wheat growth, though one of
them seems to have made greater
effort than the others and pro-
duced a head of smut. Possibly
the wet weather is the cause of
this freak, but there is no danger
of propagation from it, as there
are no seed.
The program for the Lampasas
county teachers’ institute ap-
pears in this issue, and should be
given attention by all who are
interested in educational matters.
The meeting will be held at the
public school building here, and
all teachers who expect to teach
in the schools of this county the
soming term are required by law
to attend this meeting. The time
has been changed to the week
before the beginning of the
schools, so as to put all teachers
in harmony in their work. The
institutes in this county have
heretofore been held about the
time of the Christmas holidays.
Mrs. J. E. Hensley and chil-
dren, who have been visiting
Mrs. R. E. Landrum, have gone
to Caldwell for a few days, and
will then go to their home at
Beaumont.
W. T. Munger is at home from
the Colorado, where he spent
several days. He reports that
the river has been about 20 feet
above the low water mark during
the past week, and no fish were-
caught. He went over to Brady
and spent one night, having a
cordial welcome from old friends
and enjoying the visit greatly.
Mr. Hunger says he will yet have
his vacation on the river, as he
will return when the conditions
are more favorable. J. H. Cau-
then is still out there and will re-
main until the water subsides.
Tuesday will be the first of the
month, September, and formerly
business was expected to open in
earnest with the first fall month.
Large stocks of goods are being
received by the merchants here,
and there will be pushing to sell
what may be needed by their pa-
trons. Lampasas merchants may
always be relied upon to have in
stock what the people of this sec-
tion want, and their prices are
always in keeping with the quali-
ty of the goods and the demands
of the peopl'e. Bring your pro-
duce to Lampasas and buy your
supplies here. Adopt the motto:
“Here I live and here I buy.”
Men and Women Who Stay Young.
I noticed an advertisement
while riding on a train reoently
which announced clothing “for
young men and men who stay
young.” That struck me as a
very catchy sort of an announce-
ment, and after thinking it over I
decided that there were a good
many more men who stay young
now than there were some years
ago.
There was a time when men of
50 and over felt incumbent on
themselves to dress and act as
though they were old. Nowadays
many of those who have passfed
that milestone in life’s pilgrim-
age refuse to be old as long as
they feel young, and they wear
clothing that expresses their feel-
ings, and get as much fun out of
living as many who started theif
careers many years later.
Perhaps one reason that some
men do not grow old quickeir
nowadays is the fact that condi-
tions that govern labor are much
different than they used to be.
There has been a very material
shortening up of hours and much
greater opportunity is afforded
for r est and recreation. Of course,
some men do not improve their
c hances as they should, but there
is less probability of being per-
m anently broken down by hard
1 abor than there was when the
n umber of hours that constituted
a working day was larger..
When it comes to keeping
yo ung, howeoer, the men are not
in it with the gentler sex. Grand-
mothers nowadays dress younger
than women of half their years
did a half century ago, and they
take interest in the enjoyable
things of life quite as strongly as
those who are younger. I’m glad
to see that tendency. One might
just as well enjoy life as to re-
fuse the privilege because a cer-
tain age has been reached. There
is, of course, such a thing as go-
ing to an extreme, but people as
a whole are more sensible than
some of the critics are willing to
admit.—New London Day.
