Winning the Race
Louis Disbrow, who has secured every world’s record for au-
tomobile racing up tc fifty miles on dirt tracks, demands of the pro-
ducts which he uses quality and service capable of withstanding
the most severe treatment.
Disbrow says himself that the class of racing he does is partic-
ularly hard on the motor, owing to the dust which comes in through
the carburetor and gets into the cylinders.
For THREE YEARS Disbrow has used
TEXACO MOTOR OIL
» and
TEXACO GASOLINE
with the exception of two months when he didn’t have them.
In nearly three years he had not ground a valve, taken up a
bearing or removed carbon from the motor.
In the two months he was using other oils he did these things
twice.
TEXACO MOTOR OIL AND GASOLINE
saved him (in his own words) 20 per cent gasoline and 30 per cent
oil.
Here is a product made in Texas by The Texas Company, ex-
pressing fully the quality and service which have made the Lone
Star Emblem world famous in the oil business.

LET US HAVE CONFIDENCE
To The News:
One of the great need* of today
ij confidence. Take the human fam-
ily in general and they haven’t the
confidence in each other that they
should have.
In the early days of civilization the
people had more confidence in each
other than they do now. For in-
stance, a man in business, when some
customer came in and wanted to bor-

row some money, if the merchant
could spare it he would charge it to
his account like he would the g>o.d*
be sold him.
* How is it today? The man who
wants to borrow money is required to
give two good men on nolo, or
mortgage his stock or a portion of
his crop. If a man waa s lo boy
groceries for his family, he is asked
to give a mortgage on a span of
he had. And he was the first man
to pay his account in the faU. Why
was this? Trusting to his honesty
made him eager to pay. This man
said that a man that would refuse a
mortgage when it was voluntarily of-
fered, he would give up everything
he had to pay that debt. Trust and
ctnfidence make men honest.
How many men do you remember
who have bought teams to make a

You will please pardon me for re- j
ferring to myself, I do not Like to do
that only to make a point. I ^sold
goods in Edhubc for several years _ ^ ___
ar ,1 never took a mortgage. A man
moved in the community whom I had
known for a number of years, but
hail never had occasion to have any
business transactions with him. He
came#int6 the store one day and told
ire he would have to have some one
to furnish him groceries for the year.
Said he had mortgaged part, of his
crop for some mules that he had
bought. But had several acres lefft
and would give em a mortgage on
the remaining acres if I would fur-
nish the groceries. _
I told him I would let him have
all the groceries that he wanted, but
did not want a mortgage on anything
they will get out of it. They very s«nUUUBUII»IIIM»H
readily see there is nothing in it for
thorn. Then what is their decision?
This is it: “Well, if I gather this j
c’-op I will get nothing out of it. Thu I
* I
other feHow has a mortgage on it,
so I wifl turn, it over to him ami let i
p - r \
him gather it if he wants to.”
. On the, other hand, if- trust an.
confidence had been shown in him h.
would have done his best to hav
gathered the crop.
One of my brothers. in Tennessee
scld a man a horse one spring an
took a lein on the horse. In the fai
after the crop was made and about jg
ready to gather, the man saw he
would need all the crop for other
purposes without paying any of it on
the horse. One day the man and his
wife were discussing the matter of i
the debt they owed on the horse in i
my presence and the wife said: “H
a Ieip on the horse just let hi
loan on it.” Then she laughed a big
ha ha laugh as if she ^thought the
debt was settled. So you see this
kind of business effects the women
a: well as the men. My friends, let’,-
turn a new leaf and have confidence
in our fellowmen and try to make tho
world better by'kindness one toward
another. I believe if every body had
confidence in one another as the Mai
sonic order lias in its membership, we
would have a better world than wc
have today.
I am not a Mason, but I want t<^
tell you something I have hearef them
say. ’Way back in the long ago ii
was; a common thing for men and
women to take long trips on horse
back. Mr; E. L. C. Witty and wife,
my wife's grandparents made a trip
oil horse back into another State.
While they were on their way bac:<
borne one of their horses died. They
v tre in a country where they did not
knew any one and had no money to
buy another horse. Mr. Witty let it
be known thit he was a Mason and
without any trouble bought a horse
on credit and did not have to give i
mortgage on it.
Several years ago a man came into
Bonham,' and from his looks would
have been classed with tramps. He
wanted to go to Kentucky. He was
a Mason. He gave some sign that ho
y as a member of that order. Rev!
Cowden was then pastor of the Pres-
byterian church here and he also was
a Mason. He tested the man and
found that he was what he professed
to be. The money was handed to
the stranger and he went on his way
fo Kentucky rejoicing.
Why, did all this happen to the
above mentioned cases? Confidence,
This tramp of a ’opking fellow might
hive been a poor spcciman of hu-
manity, but the brethren had confi-
dence in him.
A few days ago I heard a man talk-

agt and was short on money and
did not know any. one. But he let it

needed some dnone*y. A man let him
have what he wanted.
Oh, you say, these cases were Mas -
ons and wete under obligations to
help their brethren-. Well, well, have
r ot we as human beings got obliga-
tions enough toward one another to
have tf-ust and confidence in our
brethren in the flesh? Can’t we be
kind to our fellpwman and treat him
right ami have confidence in him
without taking an oath and obligating
ourselves to treat each other right? |
Oh, that confidence could be re
