At The
Change
A Critical Time In
Every Woman’s
Life.
“During a critical
time in my life I took
Cardui for several
months. I had hot
flashes. I would sud-
denly get dizzy and
seem blind. I would
get faint and have no
strength.
My nerves were on
edge. I would not
sleep at night.
“Carclui did won-
ders for me. I rec-
ommend it to all
women who are pass-
ing through the criti-
cal period of change.
I have found it a fine
medicine.”—Mrs. Bettie
Murphy, Poplar Bluff, Mo.
Cardui is a purely vege-
table medicine and con-
tains no dangerous drugs.

Rev. Ross, the new pastor of the
Methodist church filled his appoint-
ment here Sunday last. Those hear-
ing him say is very eloquent and
effective in his talk.
Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Pafker, Mack
Eledsoe, Vernie and little son Billy
Logan were pleasant callers on the

He has a letter dated April 26, 1862

says the writing is yet very plain.
A man driving a fine new car,
bearing a Michigan tag, stuck up
late Sunday evening in the gateway

He failed to get out and left the car
over. He also failed Monday morn-
ing and phoned for a wrecker. We
didn’t learn his .name or mission
but did learn, that Woodson O’Neal
would accompany him back home.
This will be quite a change of scenery
and climate for a young sprout who
has been raised in the south, but
Woodson goes all the gates and
fences too, and we predict he will
weather through O'. K.
A friend who travels a great deal
says he met the most remarkable
man, he has ever met quite recently.
He says he could sing, whistle and
play the violin and carry three distinct
tunes all at the some time. He sang
^Yankee Doodle”, whistled v-'Dixie”
and played “Walk a long John.”
Asked as to his politics and re-
ligion, said he was a Hoovercrat in
politics and a Universalist in religion
Going some.
A young man who has been stop-
ping with Boll Young down hear the

Mrs. Kerr Smith a well known
lady, who now lives at Tarrytown,
passed through here Sunday enroute

What happens when a firm stops
advertising ? That is rather a peculiar
question, but we are able to answer
it by citing an incident in our own city
Some two years or more ago, a
large grocery concern opened an at-
tractive, modern and up-to-the-
minute grocery store here. They
carried a nice stock of everything
that could tie wanted in the grocery
line. WThen they opened they ad-
vertised extensively, through the
newspaper, by handbills printed here
and by other local means. They con-
tributed to local calls for assistance
and they built up a nice business and
held the confidence of the people. A
year ago they discontinued all kinds
of advertising, newspaper included.
Their manager was requested to re-
frain from making contributions of
any kind, even from his own pockets,
much less the store’s treasury. And
the moral of this story is that their
business decreased, their patronage
fell off, and today this store has
packed its stock, taken down its fix-
tures and departed. Their Jack of
business may not be altogether be-
cause of their decision to dispense
with advertising, but we firmly be-
lieve that to a large extent it was.
Advertising, will build a business, but
it takes continued advertising for it
to remain permanent.—Honey Grove
Signal-Citizen.
The 'Classified Trades Directory
issued by the Northern Texas Tele-
phone Company in Bonham, Texas,
showing a list of its subscribers .wfiji
are desirous of work erf various
kinds, shows 32 people, who may be
grouped according to occupation de-
sired as follows: 5 carpenters, 1 clerk
1 dairyman, 5 dressmakers, 1 farm-
hand, 1 repair man, 1 garage man,
2 laborers, 2 laundresses, 4 painters
and paper hangers, 1 pecan budder,
1 piano teacher, 1 piano tuner, 1
practical burse, 2 radio repairmen, 1
stenographer, 1 teamster and 1 truck

A man recently bitterly denounced
the churches saying the membership
was but hypocrites and that the
preaching was contrary to best living.
When asked if he had attended church
recently he answered that he had not
been inside a church in ten years. Too
often we are prone to criticize and
condem something of which we know
little or nothing. The other fellow
and his business and personal ways
are condemned while if he was bet-
ter acquainted with, might be a life-
long friend. Automobiles of different
makes than the one we own aren’t
fit to be on the road, in our opinion,
yet we don’t take time to compare.
Most times the fault lies within us
perfect though we imagine ourselves
to be.
MAKE HIGH RECORDS
Mr. Vernon Porter is the new bar-
ber assisting at Roy’s Barber Shop.
A tale was told several years ago
about Wm. Wrig-ley the chewing gum
magnate who recently died. While
riding on a train one day a friend
asked him why he didn’t quit adver-
tising as his product was so well
known. “Supposing,” said Mr.
Wrigley, “that the locomotive was
disconnected from this train now that
it has gained its speed. How far
would the momentum carry us ? ”
Constant advertising is necessary to
ontinuous business. One can’t eat,
Irink or sleep enough at one time to
:a.st a long; period but must have
hese necessities at regular periods.
So it is with advertising for each day
is new and people must be informed.
The dizzy sister whom we often
mention in these columns for her
ignorance along almost all lines,
knows a hen has to set on eggs three
weeks to hatch them, but admits she
’oesn’t know how long it takes an
electric incubator to hatch them.
And Howard Witcher, who operates
electric incubators in Bonham, says
that last week some man called him
to inquire how long it took to hatch
them.
The Rey. C. E. Dodge has agreed
to marry free of charge the first
couple that comes to him wishing to
be married that admits that the
young lady “popped the question”
by reason of the fact that this is

informed about your campaign.
Don’t overlook them.
The Savoy Star was issued early
this week because there was a style
show in Dallas and tbe editor is a
lady.
Is there a person who hasn’t been
sick, and recovered? Don’t you think
that perhaps you might be ill again
some time, and again recover? Then
why not expect the same thing to
happen in a business line, for it has,
md will. What a glorious feeling it
is when one can get up and around
again after being sick, and what a
glorious feeling it will be when busi-
ness again convalesces. So why
worry and talk about depression.
Fact is' one should be shot for men-
tioning depression. BANG! Guess
we’ll steer around that subject for
that shot was mighty close.
“Now that we’re around the corner”
is the way an advertising piece begins
which to us is optimism to the nth
degree.
Guy Hughes is the newest addition

Steaming radiators today testify to
the fallacy of the car owners in

Political parties an^ churches often

appeared on the straight A list up to
this time have failed to appear, from
some unknown reason. For the first
six weeks the sophomores led this A
record, but now the seniors have the
same number of such students. The
freshmen are second.—Bonhi.
