Adena, the 20-months old daughter

Heard Over the Telephone
Hello. Well- how are you this love-
ly morning? Just fine. Had my
usual cup of Ravenwood coffee., and
Wilson Breakfast baeon and some nice
Big Dandy Bread Toast. Now you
know that will make anyone feel fine
and dandy. All of this from Hartzog
Grocery. You haven’t got any thing
on me, we had the same menu for our
breakfast and the actual cost for five
in our .family was 23 cents. The slic-
ing of the breakfast bacon ac-
counts for it. I am safe to say that
bacon sliced on their machine will go
twice as far.
Yes, Central, we are talking.
I am delighted with that Ruth Flour
and apparently I am not the only one.
I was in the store yesterday and they
sold fifteen or twenty sacks, while I
was there, and every purchaser was
bragging on Ruth Flour. Yes, just
think 241b. sack $1.95.
Did you see in last week’s Progress
what the gentleman from New,Orleans
had to say that Hartzog Grocery 'was
selling as much or more Ravenwood
coffee to the size of the town than any
merchant in his territory, Texas and
Oklahoma. Now that is proof that
Ravenwood Coffee is the best you can
buy. Now, let’s praise their store.
Everything so nicely aranged and the
fixtures look city like, stock all fresh,
and prices reasonable.
“You cannot say too much toward
praising Hartzog Grocery for thepride
■ and interest they take in giving their
I customers sanitary groceries, and the
bset of all you are waited on by pure
de white people and all the clerks
are courteous and polite.
Yes, you can say the “House of Per-
sonal service.” Yes, central, we are
talking.
Yes, they have a- complete line of
fishing tackle and I heard a fisherman
say that they had the best O’Shaugli-
nessy hook arid Edwai’d Vom Hoff &
Co. celebrated lines. Trade at HarU
zog Grocery, that is the pass word.
By, by. I will meet you at fhe Acme
tonight.

“The prospectors are now venturing
out over the blind field, derricks are
becoming quite 'numerous here and
there, and we can safely look for
startling results in the next twelve
months. In conclusion, I will say that
the West Columbia field is generally
typical of the whole coast territory.”
THE TEXAS CO. BRINGS IN
60,000 BBL. WELL IN MEXICO
The recent sensation in the oil
world was the 60,000 barrel well that
was brought in last week in the Vera
Cruz, Mexico, district,' by The Texas
Company.
WELL ON ST. JOSEPH
ISLAND DOWN 1,840 FEET
The Rockport Oil & Gas Co., drilling

1,840 feet, with, formations, according
to drillers1, very much resembling the
log of wells in the Humble and Goose
Creek districts. The company have
recently added another drilling shift
and will prosecute the work as rapid-
ly as conditions will permit.

For those who are in need of a rem-
edy for kidney troubles and backache,
it is a good plan to try Doan’s Kidney
Pills. They are strongly recommended
by Aransas Pass people. Ask your
neighbor.
J. L. Warren, retired, Aransas Pass,
gave the following statement May 13,
1915: “I have derived great benefit
from Doan’s Kidney Pills and my per-
sonal experience with them has proven
to me that they are find medicine for
backache anu other symptoms of kid-
ney trouble. I had pains through the
small of my back and my kidneys were
out of order. Doan’s promptly re-
moved the trouble and I recommend
them highly.”
On April 7, 1919, Mr. Warren said:
i ‘T think just as much of Doan’s Kid-
J ney Pills as when I gave my former
| statement. I have had no occasion to
use them since the cure they worked
then has proven permanent.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same kind
that Mr . Warren had. Foster-Mil-
