From Friday’s Dally
Many of the cities are lifting the
lid from places of amusements and
public gatherings, which has been on
for the past two weeks.
The gins are still running every day,
a,nd up into the night most of the time.
While most of the cotton has been
gathered from the fields there is yet
a good deal that has not been ginned,
as is evidenced by the continued work
of the gins.
Wood and coal are scarce articles
in Bay City, and if you have a few
chunks in your’yard you can consider
yourself fortunate. If your neighbor
has any he is liable to be unfortunate.
Don’t forget to run your clock back
an hour on the 27th and you will be
allowed one hour more “shut-eye” on
Monday than you have heretofore.
More than ever before, Christmas
shopping must be done early this year,
and the earlier the better. Especially
is this true if you expect to give the
boys “over there” a merry Christmas.
Christmas packages for the boys in
France will be received by the Red!

There’s no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal-
omel when a few cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone—a per-
fect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn’t make
you sick and cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson’s Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated
tomorrow. Dont’ lose a day’s work.
Take a spoonful of Dodson’s Liver
Tone instead and you will wake up

The party arrived at Matagorda at
about 7:30 and found that Mr. “Oyster
Man,” who had some advance informa-
tion, had his crew roasting oysters byy
the barrel. After having consumed
about three barrels of oysters, roast-
ed, raw and otherwise, the party was
called by Scout Commissioner C. W.
Kelly to assemble around the camp
fire and listen to Lieut. Gaines tell
of some of his experiences on the
western battle front, which he did
creditably and to the keen delight of
the scouts and all others present. Then
followed a number of questions about
details of army life and army equip-
ment which the lieutenant answered
delightfully, thus giving as much* in-
teresting and valuable information
which it is almost impossible for a
civilian to get in any other manner.
The last part of the entertainment
consisted of rousing cheers for Lieu-
tenant Gaines and for the newly elect-
;ed officers of the scout organization,
after which Dr. Storey offered a very
appropriate and fervent prayer which
concluded the vent except the return
trip, which was completed about 19
o’clock. Every one pronounced tlm
event eminently successful in every
respect and a-1 present hope sincere-
Jy that this is only the first of a num-
ber of similar events to be enicye’’
by the scouts, thei rco-workers and
friends during the winter.

following:
WHEREAS, on the 23rd day of Oc-
tober, A. D. 1918, at his home in Bay
City, Texas, our beloved brother, Hugh
B. Eidman, was called by the Supreme!
Grand Master of the Universe from his I
labors here below to rest and re-1
freshments in that Celestial Lodge
above;
AND WHEREAS, by his sudden tak-
ing off we are again reminded of
that truism, “In the midst of life, we
are in death,” for though Brother Eid-
man was strong, was sick only a
short time when stricken with the
malady which ended his useful and
worthy career;
AND WHEREAS a seat in our lodge
room is left vacant,
point to him as a model whose
ample is worthy of emulation.
Brother Eidman was married
Miss Beulah Nuckols, who with
his parents, sisters and brothers sur-
vive him and mourn his loss.
Brother Eidman was made a Mason
at Bay City, Texas, June 11, 1906.

Fourth, that these resolutions be

Many of the farmers are preparing
for the early fall breaking of their
land. The success of farming to a
large extent depends on the earliest
possible breaking of the land, so that
it can lie fallow during the winter
months and absorb moisture for the
coming spring and summer. As it
now looks a vast amount of the land
will be broken by Christmas, insuring
