No residences for rent in De
port is' keeping many people
from moving to our little city.
Such has been the case for some
time, and will continue so until
the “Muild a Home” movement
is started, and those who are in
a position to build them are
awakened to the situation.

"Eastland becomes an oil field
metropolis”, reads ahead fine in
Tuesday’s Dallas jJews. We
hope to have them run the
same heading about a year from
now,with the name of Deport
used instead of Eastland.
The high wind which appeared
to have swept all of North Texas
last Friday night, did small
damage in the Depor* country. A
part of that grand old pecan tree
at the o’d Sam Giay home was
blown down.
Three kings and two queens
have called on General Pershing
within the past month. We de-
sire to warn General Pershing
against calling on three kings
and two queens. We did that
once and we were short of car-
fare for a month afterward.—

Mr
May Hay Festival
The May day exercises of the
De-port school were staged last
Saturday afternoon. It was op-
ened wiib a parade, consisting of
decorated automobiles and
young rough riders. After mak
ing the trip thru town, it return
ed to the senool grounds, where
the May Queen was crowned,
and many entertainments staged
for her benefit. A throne was
fixed up under the shade of a fine
tree in the yard, and Miss Mar
garet Oliver was crowned Queen
of the May. ,
Nature is in all her glory at this
time of the year, and the cere-
mony gives expression to all
that is beautiful. Miss Nita
Webb was maid of honor, and
the attendants were Misses Hel
fn Lawler, Mabel King, Mary
Thompson, Edith Fuller, Alice
Martin and Edna Norwood.
Pages, train bearers and other
court attendants were also pres
ent.
Tliep followed folk dances by
groups of students representing
Rough Riders, Swedes, Fairies,
Brownies, Milk Maids, Chimney
Sweeds, French, Japanese and
Scotch girls, a May flower bas-
ket drill, Old Mother Goose
rhymes and the Old Woman who
Lived in the Shoe. The program
was concluded by a May pole
dance.

day night of next week, and a
program of the week’s activities
will be published in next week’s
issue of The Times.
We regret very much that we
■re aoable to anaoaoo# in this
issue wbere we will drill our
first well. We would like very
much to make this location with
iu 8 or 4 miles of our little city
as we feel it would be worth
much to any citizen in it, but we
do not feel that we can afford to
spend from $85,000 to $50,000 of
the stockholder's money on this
location with the amount of acre-
age that we hold near it. There-
fore, as conditions now exist it
seems that we will be bonnd to
make location No 1 some four or
live miles away, on account of
some of the landholders not
leasing us their land. We earn-
estly ask the landholders to con
sider this very seriously, and
not force us to do something
that probably would be detri-
mental to our town.
Help us to make it oue of the
livest towns in Texas. We also
ask you to keep in mind that
if we should bring in a well on
your land, you will get one eighth
of the production, which is more
than any one of the stockholders
would get, as there is not an oil
company in the United States
that does not have more than
eight stockholders. We again
beg you to lease us your land, as
we are very anxious to get busy.

have been shown in
thousands of letters from

“About 11 years ago, I

My husband went to Dr.

THE OUT-OF-LOVE CLUB
The New York Sun describes the
work of this Salvation Army club In
New York City:
“No, the Out of Love Club is not
made up of jilted girls. Many of the
members have been Jilted—nay, cruel-
ly used by conscienceless men in the
past—but that isn’t what the name
means. It Just means that what Is
done by it Is done out of love and
affection and good-will for all those
who suffer and need a helping hand.
“It Is a plain, but prettily furnish-
ed house at 318 East Fifteenth street,
where the Out of Lovers gather for
their meetings and teas and various
good times, or are welcome to stay,
when thejk.need the shelter and
strength of this home. There Is the
Salvation Army Hospital, too, next
door, at 316—the Booth Memorial
Hospital it is called, after the old
General who founded and started the
Salvation Army. And many a deso-
late girl, some country girl, perhaps,
who had come to the city and gone
upon the rocks, has found shelter
and comfort and the restoration to
health In one of the white beds of
this hospital.
"Commander Evangeline Booth
stated recently that 85 per cent of
the unfortunate girls they had taken
in for reclamation had turned out
well. Hundreds of them have been
placed in service, and It is the rule
of the Salvation Army to follow up
the girls who leave the home, to keen
track of them for three years at least
and see how they turn out. Some-
times the girls are only too glad to
report freauently.
"There was the girl who set out
to starve herself to death on a park
bench. It was one cold autumn night
when a man’s voice called up the ma-
tron at this home and told hey that
he was much concerned over a girl
who had sat for several days on a
bench In the little pa k opposite his
house. He watched her in the early
morning and at night, he said, and he
was convinced that she hadn’t mov-
ed; he thought she seemed in great
trouble. So the Adjutant of the
home, which faces the same park, ran
out and hunted up the bench where
the girl sat.
’“Come! Come with me and I will
take you to a place where you will bn
more comfortable.’ she told the poor
creature, who was a pitiable object
Indeed, her hair matted, her face
thin and drawn, her eyes vacant and
glazed, her clothes torn and wet.
The girl shook her head.
" ’It’s no use talking to me—I'm
going to sit here till I starve to
death,’ she said In a dull monotone.
For an hour the Salvation Army ma-
tron pleaded, argued, tried every wile
to Induce the half-crazed creature
to go wifh mer. 'Finally, not daring
to leave her there, she told the girl
that If ahe didn’t come a policeman
would be called. At this she gave In
and went.
“It toafc weeks of nursing and care
to win m>m the girl her atory. It
was one of miaunderatanding and
trouble at home and harsh treatment
that had driven her out Into the
world, where lack of training made it
Impossible for her to get work, and
she was soon without money. Now
that girl Is an assistant in the Out
of Love Club, where she Is busy and
happy all day, and the matron aays
she has saved many another girl who
was tottering on the brink of 8«-
spair." _______ i
