Sidney Hocks concluded in his own
mind, after attending the picture
show at Bounding Billows the other
night, that a whole lot of trouble and
at least several hundred feet of good
film could have been saved if the
couple hadn’t put off marrying so
long.
Come to think of it, man is the
only animal that suffers with dyspep-
sia. Also he’s the only animal that
overeats all the time. And further-
more he’s the only animal that chews
tobacco and drinks whisky.
An East Texas editor wrote the
headline: “Church ’Promotes Saintly
Living,” and the proof reader failed
to catch the error as it came out “ly-
ing” for “living.” And the people of
that particular church sure have it in
for that editor.

Georgetown, Feb. 9.—A verdict of
death was returned here today
against Harry J. Leahy, charged with
the murder of Dr. J. A. Ramsey, of
Mathis.
There was no demonstration, and
Leahy appeared to be, the coolest
man in the courtroom. His wife was
with him, but she showed no emo-
tion. Leahy’s aged parents, who had
testified in his behalf, were not pres-
ent.
Martinez testified he called Ram-
sey from his home at the request of
Leahy and took the physician to the
hills near Mathis where, he said,
Leahy struck the doctor on the head,
cut his throat, and buried him.
In a previous trial Leahy was given
a sentence of 50 years but the trial
court ordered a new trial at the de-,
fendant’s request.

If you have not given Sun Want Ads a trial
you are not familiar with their efficiency.
But hundreds of people in this community
have tried them and know that they get
desired results.
We do not blame people for not be-
lieving all they read in the newspa-
pers. We often run across items
that we do not believe ourselves. For
instance we read recently where a
city slicker had sold a North Texas
editor a tenth interest in the League
of Nations for four thousand dollars.
The reason we do not believe that
story is that no North or South or
East or West or Central Texas editor
ever had as much as
dollars at one time.

Austin-, Feb. 9.—It was a chilly
day for certain male students of the
University of Texas recently who had
listened to the suave words of a rep-
resentative of an Eastern clothing
mill presumably specializing in cloth-
ing for the well-dressed young man.
The salesman was most obliging
and would take in old suits as part
payment on a new outfit. He went
further, anything from wrist watches
to typewriters might be turned in
with their worth deducted from the
price of the suit, which itself was an
amazing bargain.
The resplendent toggery was due
to arrive in 12 days. One. student
who was becoming a bit impatient
for his new Spring suit prompted the
company by mail.
His letter received an immediate
answer to the effect that they had no
salesman in the South, they had re-
ceived no orders from University of
Texas students and the company
not operate on that basis.

Will Make More Money
than Any Farm Crop
If you will but give them a little time and attention, your chickens will make
you more money, on less investment, on less ground, than any other farm
or garden crop.
Besides, you don’t have to gamble on the weather, or wait until the end of
the year to find out whether you have made any money—chickens will bring
you a cash income almost every month in the year.
If you doubt it—let the wife try it and give her a fair chance—and she’ll
prove what we say. But—you must have the right hatching equipment—to
properly hatch your own chicks.
Queen Incubators
Hatch Strong, Healthy Chicks
That Live and Grow
Queen Incubators are built right, of the
proper and best materials, and have a reg-
ulating system that is almost fool-proof.
They maintain accurate, uniform hatching
s conditions without much attention—produc-
ing almost always a perfect chick with the
strength and vitality for a good, quick start.
We have catalogs and other literature that
will help you make a success of your chick-
ens. It is free to you. Call and let us be
of help to you.
Raz Barlow took his watch to the
Tickville jeweler to have it fixed last
Saturday. There wasn’t anything
hardly the matter with it but to make
it appear like he was getting his
money’s worth the jeweler told him
he couldn’t get it before Tuesday.

Whitewright awoke Thursday
morning to find everything on the
outside covered with a coat of ice.
Rain during the night froze as it fell.
Icicles several inches long were hang-
ing from the edge of roofs and trees
were covered with a coat of ice.
several days before the freeze this
setion had spring like weather, and
some trees were beginning to bud.
Whitewright and section has had its
share of bad weather the past few
months. There has been only a few
days that farmers could work in
iields since Christmas. Very little
work has been done preparing land
for another crop. Oat sowing time
is here but only a small acreage has
been planted to oats on account of
bad weather. If we do not have dry
weather the next two weeks, the oat
acreage in this section will be very
small this year.
Try your hand at punctuating this;
perhaps it won’t sound so crazy:

All newspaper offices are recip-
ients of some good copy—copy that
can be turned over to the linotype
operator with only minor corrections
—and a. whole lot of copy that re-
quires considerable time in rearrang-
ing. Occasionally the entire force is
called into consultation in the de-
ciphering of some word that looks
like everything else except what it is
intended for. Folks who send in this
kind of copy possibly cannot spell
correctly nor properly phrase what
they are trying to say, but they can
at least use pen and ink or a pencil
that writes plain; they can use white
paper and use only one side of it,
and after it is written they can keep
it neat by not carrying it in a pocket
for two or three days.
A newspaper in Jackson, Ohio, got
so much bad copy that the editor al-
lowed it to get his goat, so he got
mad and printed one of the commu-
nications just like it was written,
spelling, punctuation, and all. Here
it is:

An honest speeder had just hit
dog and had returned to retrieve his
damages if possible. He looked at
the dog for a moment and addressed
the man with a gun. ...
“Looks as if I’d killed your dog.”
“Very valuable dog?”
“Not very.”
“Will $5.00 be enough?”
“Well—I guess so.”
“Sorry to have broken up your
hunt,” said the motorist pleasantly
as he handed the owner a crisp fiye-
dollar bill.
“I wasn’t going huntin’—just go-
ing out in the woods to shoot the
dog.”

The Pilot Grove boys’ basketball
team played three games last week,
■playing Pink Hill Wednesday after-
■noon and Bells Thursday. Both
Janies were played here, and were
witnessed by large and enthusiastic
crowds. The scores were: Pink hill,
to, Pilot Grove 3; Bells 19, Pilot
Grove 21. The winning of these
games gave to the Pilot Grove school
the championship of Class B in this
district of the interscholastic league.
The team went to Sherman Saturday,
where they were defeated by the
Gunter team with a score of 19 to
38. The boys have done extremely
well, and their defeat by Gunter is
no discredit. Gunter had the advan-
tage in having previously practiced
on an indoor court and were heavier
and much stronger. Pilot Grove is
proud of the record made by the
team this year.
