a very fine time out at El Faao and
other points, where they recently
went in their car, a Studehaker Small

mere than 1200 miles."
Mr. Butler, brother of Manager
Butler of the Townsend Motor Co.,
has lately arrived in Stamford). He is
with The City Barber Shop, West
Side. "
R. L. Livengood was in town Sat-
called, atThe Ujider of-
flee.-He is one of the good farmers
in the Post neighborhood, Haskell
county, about eleven miles northeast
of Stamford. He has been reading The
v leader for a number of years and
is still with us.
I. C. Rutherford, another one of
our good subscribers, and who lives
— nt Tuxedo, waB in town Saturday. He to do
- Dick' Williams now has the only
store in Tuxedo, where he has' been
for a long time. He buys- his stocks
from the Stamford wholesale people
and has been at that for years. He
recently purchased the store of M.
H. Cook, we have stated before, it
is reported that Mr. Cook will re-
move with his family to Oklahoma.
Bird Billingsly arrived back in
Stamford last Friday -after a long
drive out among the customers of
Penick-Hughes Co. Bird used to hop
the counters over there. Then they
found out he could sell the merchants
as well as the consumers, so they ad-
vanced him to the present position,
where he has made perfectly good.
-■ The 800 drive of St. John’s M. E.
Church Sunday School seems to be
mounting to the thousand mark in-
stead of the SOO mark. .Some time ago
wh« Bernard Bryant had the Sunday
School in charge he set a numk,of 1,-
up to 928, being ably assisted by a
large number of workers and the full
quota of officers. Should the 800 be
reached he will still have them beat-
en, but there seems to he a friendly
sort of intention to go away over the
800 mark by beating the thousand
mark before the contest is over, we
•see.
The Stamford Leader would take an
especial pleasure in printing every
Church, Sunday School, and by-organ-
ization of a religious nature's notice
that we can get, bust the perachers
sometimes overlook those notices, just
like you and we overlook our jobs, or
parts of our jobs, you know, so we
miss some of them sometimes, though
not many. It is our idea not to miss
a single one.
L. E. Waite , assistant pastor, Rev.
W. C. Moffett, of the First Baptist
Church, is getting out a neat Bulletin
for the church. The Leader has the
job of printing 5,000 outside leaves
for this bulletin, 300 of which were
sent them Saturday. Mr. Waite
writes the programs for them nnd he
also mimeographs the inside of the
bulletin. The Leader is going to get
the full job before long, we believe,
as that man Waite is too busy to be
running a memeograph. The move
of getting out n bulletin is a good
one, showing the church to be a pro-
gressive one in that as in other ways.
W. W. Newton was here Saturday
and nearly made the mistake of com-
ing into The Leader office, when try-
ing to get inside Ashley & Nichols
store. But W. W. knows the way here
when he wants a good newspaper for
the price of only $1.5 per year, twice
each week.
We see Mr. W. A. Virtell is the
happy owner of a new car by name
Chevrolet.
Mrs. R. L. Buahell was on the sick

Just a Few Lines to the Garage
Owners and Managers
I am starting this year to have n
cleaner and more sanitary city, so I
am asking your eo-dpeFSTtoir In thin
matter, you can be of help to me by
removing the unnecessary accumula-
tion of discarded cars around your
garages. They are worthless and not
only unsanitary but a menace to the
fireman in cases of fire in your ga-
rage. It would be a hindrance to
/. theiw in -the laying arjd handling of
1 fhre hoee. This in itself is a violation
of the law. So I am giving you notice
through the columns of this paper
that I have condemned thetn as a
nuisance ami ask you to remove them
sit once. Trusting you^will see this
in ita proper light and willingly com-
ply with my reasonable^ request, I
remain yours for a cleaner and more
sanitary city.

covery of more than $10,000 Worth
of Liberty Bonds stolen in the aen-
sational daylight holdup of the First
National Bank of Strawn, Palo Pin-
to County, on the aftcronon of Mon-
day, Dec. 21, when bank official* and
customers were locked in the vault
by bandits who in true Wild West
style escaped with cash and bonds
totaling $30,000.
•Several Granbury boys were play-
that spans the Brazos on Highway
No. 10, just out of the city limits.
One fo them noticed a towsaek, part-
ly filled, which for several weeks
has been on a sand bar. One of the
lads challenged another to swim out
to the bar and bring in the sack. The
dare was accepted.
When the lad reached the sandbar
he curiously peeked inside the sack.
In it he found what he throught were
a lot of worthless papers and receipts,
but there was also a veritable treasure
trove, to his boyish heart, in the
shape of a dollar bill.
The boy took the bill and the sack,
which had been emptied of part , of
its contents in the ransacking; and
They raise an awful dust.
It fills your eyes, your mouth, your
nop,
^ And makes you think you’ll “bust”,
But you don’t.
They jazz this way, they jaaz that
way,
They kick their heels so high,
They knock you down and roll you
.. around,
And make you think you’ll die,
Bpt you don't.

They scamper ‘round in merry glee,
And fuss, and quarrel, and fight,
.While us poor sinners try to hide.
And get “Clean out of sight.”
But we can’t.

on the proceeds.
The garage man questioned the
lads and they told him the story. With
other citizens, hastily called, an adult
party was formed and headed for the
bridge. A hasty-count was made and
it was discovered that the boys had
uncovered $10,000 in registered lib-
erty bonds, besides a number'of notes,
insurance policies, and other papers
indicating ownership by the First
National Bank of Strawn,

men had entered the institution with
drawn pistols. They knocked down
the president, T. B. Stuart, with the
butt of a pistol, forced other officials
and customers into the vault, secured
$30,000 in loot and escaped in an au-
tomobile.
Granbury citizens still are aiding

for a few times before the organiza-

On the first Sunday of every month,
the Junior Church will have its com-

tion of St. John’s in the main audi-

SWEDE SETTLEMENT
One of the prosperous localities
is what U known as the Swede settle-
ment, east of Stamford. No finer
set of people exist, and they are al-
ways to the front when it comes to
keeping their farms in fine shape.
Next' they go to the front in keep-
ing up the roads. You do not find
mean, rutty roads in the Swede set-
tlement, mind you.
The recent snows did some good
out among the farms, for they mel-
lowed the ground in many places
more than some things, the freezes |
doing most of the mellowing of
course. .
