There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Dr. Price’s from
other baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Dr. Price’s Baking Powder is
made from cream of tartar, which comes
from grapes. This means a healthful fruit
origin. It means natural food as distin-
guished from mineral substitutes used in
other baking powders.

The man who tried to make
rain at San Angelo some years
ago claims to have produced the
rain that flooded California re-
cently. He asks ten thousand
dollars for his services, having
been under contract with the city
of San Diego to fill the city res-
ervoir for that sum of money. If
he can prove that he made the
rain he may get the ten thousand.
The flood destroyed hundreds of
homes, fifty lives and did more
than seven million dollars’ dam-
age. It may be argued that nat-
ure’s rainmaker seldom does
worse.—Temple Telegram.
The Californians will no doubt
be glad to pay the ten thousand
dollars and give the rain maker
credit for the rain if he will make
good the loss sustained in
floods.

W hen you decide to purchase an automobile do your Thinking be-

In addition you get the Overland service—anywhere you go.
AGENTS WHO CUT PRICES

When 1 see a man buying good

and it is no bluff. It is not to

When the manager of a private

business. As a rule a man with-

PEOPLE TO VOTE AGAIN
Within the next few weeks the
voters—tax payers of this county,
will have an opportunity to show
to the world how bad they want
good roads. The question of
paying a fifteen cent road tax ex-
tra has been passed up to the peo-
ple. This is not a new issue in
Runnels County. About one year
ago the question was defeated by
the voters of Ballinger. If the
" ' i question is defeated again Ballin-
■ger people should forever keep si-
lent on the good road question.
In the last election on this ques-
tion the farmers cast their votes
in favor of good roads and show-
ed that they were willing to pay
the little measly sum of 15 cents
on the $100 valuation at which
their property is rendered to help
build roads, while the voters in

forgot” to vote. It has been
estimated that a fifteen cent tax
will created annually a $15,000
road fund,. That’s better than no
fund, and in the course of a few
years this amount of money, judi-
cially expended, will give the
coupty better roads, and when
the tax payers see fit the special
tax can be cancelled. It is up to
