On an average there are 15,000
pounds of mail thrown from the ex-
press trains and hauled over the Star
route from Kdgewood to the County's
Capitol post office each month. This
mail is distributed on seven routes out
of Canton besides the Canton office
and Martins Mills box. A close esti-
mate of the mail coming from Canton
to this office monthly will average
4,000 pounds, and to say 8,000 pounds
for Edgewaod's office would not be a
bad estimate. A total of 27,000 pounds
of mail with the enormous /express un-
loaded daily, for this place, Canton and
Small,, and other nearby towns, to say
nothing of the growth, the wealth, the
business and marketing facilities of
! Kdgewood in the past ten years, is
enough to encourage the head officials

are limiting inquiry
The correspondent to the Kaufman
Herald, living on route two, says: "Our
old lady and daughter are visiting in
Scurry for a few days, or until more I
limbs fall In stove wood lengths."
Don't underestimate. the amount of
cotton you expect to gather from your
field this fall, .fust be fts fair as you
know how in telling what there is in
sight, and then it may he small enough.
The campaign expenses of Governor
Hobby have been "turned in" as the
law provides, and it is shown that
$48,852.4.5 was spent in his hejialf
during the campaign. The statement
was made that this sum came through
popular subscriptions, and that the
governor promised positions to no one.
The governor's salary is $4,000 per an-
num.
Farmers In some of the South Texas
counties have fixed the price for cotton
picking At $1.25 per hundred pounds,
and have set a standard wage of $2 per
day for general farm work, and $5 a
day for a man and team. The cotton Is
opening rapidly in that section, and on
accoiyit of so many farmers and their
families drifting In from the drouth-
stricken sections there is no scarcity of
labor In the fields. •
( Old Van Zandt will harvest a bump-
er cotton crop compared with many
other localities. A man bv the name of
Hay Helm traveled over nine counties
in West Texas last week and says that
it will take from ten to fittv acres to
make a bale of cotton. The fellow who
really cares to make a living farming
has no desire for that portion of the
state. In fact, wouldn't accept such
land as a gift.
WHAT CATARRH IS
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form of snuffs and vapors only irritate
and do little if any good.
' To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by cnriching your blood with
the oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and a building-
tonic, free from any harmful drugs.
It is helping thousands. Try It.
Scott U Bowuc, Illoomfieltl.N. J.
characterised the recent campaign un-
til the victory has been won. The Her-
ald refers to Hon. Clarence K. Gilmore
of Wills l'oint who is clearly the choice
of the great majority of the pcoplr of
Texas for the office mentioned.
The casualty lists are growing larger
each day, and it is the first news i'em
that the busy American reads c.ich
morning when he secures his paper.
These announcements of the killed in
action, or the seriously wounded, carry
sorrow to many communities through-
out the country, and before the bitter
Struggle is over not one locality will
have been overlooked, and it is this
suspense which preys mightily on the
minds and hearts of those who have
loved ones "over there," many of
whom may never come back to gladden
our eyes and our spirits more.
Van Zandters who will he all "upset"
by the failure to hold the fair at Dal-
las this fall, and who will not know
what to do, are advised to keep on at
work just as if nothing had happened.
Of course this skip in the performance
will be keenly felt by the average Van
Zundter who has in times past contrib-
uted as much to the glory and success
of this Institution as any other out-
siders, hut it is the best that can he
done under the circumstances and ow-
ing to the fact that the war is on.
Coleman county has a lady sheriff, j
'appointed in the place of her late hus-
band, who was a candidate for re-elec-
tion and received the largest vote in the
recent primary. When the ladies take
all the jobs of peace officers, it is high
time all able-bodied men go hiking off
to war.
as to the number of women who regis-
tered in Tarrant cotinty, the number
who inmie out their registration re-
ceipts in their own handwriting and
the tytal number of poll taxes anil ex-
emption certificates issued to male
'voters, and it is presumed that this is
being done throughout the state. It is
believed that he hopes to determine the
number of women votes in the primary
and that he will contest the election on
the ground that the women had no con-
stitutional right to participate and on
the further assumption that their reg-
istration receipts should have been
J made out in their own handwriting.

A Picnic Party.
Since moving back to Canton from
their home at San Benito, where they
resided for a number of years, Mr. and
Mrs. Roger Valentine have been the re-
cipients of many social honors, more
th,m one event having been planned in
celebration of their return to the old
home, where they have decided to
spend the intervening years.
Among the pleasant diversions grow-
ing out of their arrival here was the
merry outing party on Wednesday ev-
ening of last week, when the members
of the "Wednesday Study Club" staged
a picnic party a short distance cast of
the city to which Mr. and Mrs. Valen-
tine were especially invited. The at-
tendants used automobiles in seeking
out a cozy spot in the sylvan surround-
ings and there a dainty "spread" of
choice Hooverieed dainties were served,
together with delightful iced beverages
so aptly fitting in with the season.
Throughout the few short hours ready
conversation, wit and repartee were in-
dulged in, all vieing with each other in
emphasizing their warmth of welcome
to the truant ones wh;> had remained
away for so long a time from the play-
place of their early days.
Mr. and Mrs. Valentine are domi-
ciled in one of the Stanford cottages
on South Athens Street, where they
will lie at home to their friends until
other and permanent quarters are se-
cured.

The Terrell Transcript says there
was great consternation among the
early risers of that city a few mornings
ago, the inhabitants being awakened
by a gentle patter on the housetops
and ir slight flutter among the leaves
of the trees. Investigation revealed
moist dark spots on tin* sidewalk, and
a few of the older inhabitants were
reckless enough to say that they had
seen such a thing happen before which
was known at that remote period as
ruin, but such remarks were treated
with more or less suspicion. The phe-
nomenon soon passed away and the
citir.ens settled back into their accus-
tomed groove.
