Mrs. Wayne Chandler was carried

While in Stephenville last Monday,
Mr. G. C. Arnoux, radio editor of the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram, paid the
Tribune an appreciated call. The
Star-Telegram is what might be
termed a home newspaper to .many of
the people in this section of West
Texas, hence the employees of the
paper usually are anxious to meet as
many as possible when out on such
trips. The radio department of the
S-T is recognized as one of the fore-
most broadcasting stations in. the
world and millions hear their pro-
grams each day.

The district meeting of the K. of
P, lodge which will be held in this
city Friday, Apr.il 8th, will call for
the united co-operation of all mem-
bers of the local lodge. At a meeting
held last Tuesday night it was decid-
ed that all members who can possibly
do so bring cake of sandwichej so
that the Visitors may be served a
good, lunch. If the lodge had to pay
for this lunch out of its own funds, it
would necessitate a strain that would
require several months to overcome.
Therefore all members are urged to
come and bring lunch. A nice cake,
or a dozen sandwiches; anything that
will help to provide a good lunch.
This action was taken to help pre-'
serve the already burdened bank ac-
eount of the lodge. .
A. W. Whitefield, the Dublin insur-
ance agent, calls the Tribune to task
for misquoting the company he rep-
resents in a recent advertisement. It
seems that- the advertising in ques-
tion stated that his company was the
largest insurance company operating
in the South. The fact there are some
companies larger than the one he rep-
resents, yet there are none as large
who maintain their headquarters in
the South. Mr. Whitefield only wants
the facts to be known as they are and
therefore asks the Tribune to make-
file above correction, which is gladly
done.
swer was that his house alone had
shipped better than twenty cars of
produce since the first of the year and
that very likely other Stephenville
concerns had bought a large share of
what was offered for sale. In other
words he estimated that better than
thirty cars had gone out from this
point during the past ten weeks.
The Tribune was noticing in one of
^he exchanges a short time back a
Statement to the effect that such and
such a town had shipped perhaps a
dozen cars of produce, since January1
first. This seemed like an awful lot
of produce, and it is. But for curi-j
osity a reporter asked one of the local
produce houses how that volume com-
pared with local shipments. The an-
