the only excuse we can think of to
offer. We are sure there was no in-

But, while we are on the subject,
we feel like saying that we people in
Palestine are too much disposed to be
too alflred conservative about most
things, and are probably the least
demonstrative people in seventeen
counties, not excepting Travis coun-
ty. The writer has seen and heard
the local Federated Labor Band play
number after number and several
hundred people stand and never bat
an eye or clap a hand at the conclu-
sion of any rendition. And we have
the sad recollection of one band di-
rector who refused to finish a rendi-
tion of the national air because bis
audience did not respond by rising to
their feet. Personally speaking, we
believe in making a fuss or giving ap-
proval when we get something good.
And we don’t think over-much of this

The campaign for the sale of the
second issue of Liberty Bonds starts
out with every appearance of meet-
ing with ready success, and the pre-
diction is made in advance that the
issue will be largely over-subscribed,
just as was the first issue, and it is
to be hoped this will be the result.
Such a record would be helping to
win the war by serving notice on Ger-
many that this country is in the war
to the limit of its abilities. An es-
pecial appeal is being' made to the
people of small means to buy one or
more bonds. These bonds are a good
investment, and the buyer also has
the satisfaction of knowing ho is do-
ing his bit for his country.*
Eliminate waste and put your ex-
tra dollars in bonds.
The Palestine Ice Company is show-
ing a commendable spirit in helping
to boost the sale of Liberty bonds.
An appeal is~^lil^^ch bflf
mailed, and the icWRgons are plac-
arded with banners urging the people
to buy bonds.

Keep iu mind that our big fair
opens next Tuesday, and that all of
us are responsible for the success of
the enterprise. Let’s make it a real
county fair.
The papers of East Texas, ?n must
instances, reflect the business pros-
perity of this section. Most of them
are being well patroized, and all of
the advertisements are optomistic.
East Texas is the rich man s country
just at this time.
The vote on the school tax was dis-
appointingly light, showing that a
great many patrons of the schools
were not very much interested in
the schools. Or it may have been
the busy day of most of the voters.
But, small favors should be thankful-
ly received.
The East Texas Fair at Tyler is
in full swing at present, and report *
say the exhibits aie extra fine and
the attendance splendid. This fair
had a most humble beginning a few
years ago, but because the people of
Smith county supported it aud ral-
lied to it, it is today one of the best
county fairs in the state, and it is
making money.

A BEVERAGE

Bevo is a great favorite in the Army Canteens, where
none but pure, soft drinks may be sold. After drill
or march, you are sure to see a long line of hot and
dusty-throated soldier boys making a bee line for
Bevo. They know that there lies complete satisfac-
tion, full refreshment and pure wholesomeness.
At home or abroad—-at work or play—between meals
or with meals, you will appreciate what we have
done for you in making this triumph in soft drinks.
You will find Bevo at inns, restaurants, groceries, department
and drug stores, picnic grounds, baseball parks, soda fountains,
dining cars, in the navy, at canteens, at mobilisation camps
and other places where refreshing beverages arc sold.
