AUSTIN—In an effort to test the
observance of the state law requir-
ing the teaching of “intelligent pat-
riotism’’ State Supt. Marrs Friday

mittee will choose two essays, one

ited schools. A committee appointed
by the Senator of each district then
will select the two best essays, one
from each class of schools and sub-
mit them to Marrs, who will have a
committee of five to judge the best
two on the same class basis. Winners
will get $20 in gold or a gold medal
of equal value.

IN MEMORY OF WILLIE MAUD
On the twenty-seventh day of June
nineteen hundred and eleven there
came into the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Will Barker a tiny sweet baby girl
whom <they called “Willie Maud." Be-
ing about the eighth child to claim
a place in the home they eagerly
watched as she grew from infancy
almost to a young woman. They were
now realising their fondest hopes for
her but she slipped away to live with
God.
Will Maud was sick nine or ten days
Her death was caused from a nervous
breakdown. Before death came she
sang hyinus of praise to God.
She was obedient and strived to do
things that would please her, teacher.
She was always ready to lend a help-
ing hand to those in need. She was an
important factor in the home. Her
parents have lost a dutiful daughter,
and the children have lost a helpful
and playful companion.
But when we gather at the river is
it not a sweet consolation to think
that she will meet us on the other
side. *
Willie Maud was a faithful mem-
ber of the Baptist church having unit-
“When I ate I would bloat up with
gas. I couldn’t sleep, was cross anti
nervous. Adlerika has given me real
relief.’*—Mrs. M. Meyer.
Adlerika relieves stomach gas and
soureness in TEN minutes. Acting on
BOTH upper and lower bowel, it re-
moves old waste matter you never
thought was in your system. Let Ad-
lerika give your stomach and bowels
a REAL cleansing and see how much
better you feel. It will surprise you.

B. M. Whitaker, exhibit manager of
the West Texas Chamber of Commer-
ce, declares that an unjust burden
will be imposed on West Texas farm-
ers if the McNary-Haughen farm re-
lief bill is passed and advocates the
passage of a law to remove such ef-
fects.
Whitaker’s plan is that Congress
pass an act requiring all gins to use
cotton bagging. He claims that thi^
would create a new and permanent
demand for from 350,000 to 500,0(-0
bales of cotton, of a low grade, that
depresses the market most when a
large carryover is neccessary.
Figures show that the; cotton farm-
ers of the nation have within the last
three years spent about $75,000,000
for a foreign grown commodity in
which to wrap their cotton crop while
at the same time, the cheaper grades
of American cotton, suitable for this
use were dragging the market down,
Whitaker states.
To wrap last year’s cotton .Top
cost the farmers of the county $25,-
000,000 and. The jute costs about 12
, cents a pound, while low grade cotton
D dragged the market at around 8 cents
per pound.

How to Recover Loot Strength

in need of a good
tonic. I take it in
the fall to fortify
myself against colds

benefit. In the win-

severe attack of in-

The well being drilled on the Kirk
tract between Gorman and Duster by
Hoffer et al, has reached the line at
2670 and at 2590 they hit a gas show-
showing that is good for a million
feet daily. The structure is running
higher here than at any other place
they have drilled and the gas came
sooner than it would normally be
looked for. They are drilling it in
and are hopeful of getting a good oil
pay at about 50 feet below the
pay. This well is being put down in
a virgin field and if they do find any
pay there it will mean opening of a
nice drilling campaign in that section
They have drilled several dry holes
on Ithis structure and the finding of
even the gas they have struck is an
encouragment to them. However, they
will not likely drill any more soon
if this fails to be an oil producer.
The rig on the Rascoe tract has
been torn down and is being moved
to thq Thompson farm south of town
where another well is to be drilled.
This will be put down by the same
parties who haye been drilling around
Gorman for the past several months.
Several well around Sipe Springs
are also likely in the near future. In
fact one rig is being moved in that
field at this time from the Carbon
district—Gorman Progress.
