The regular quarterly meet-

A held in Loving last Saturday,
and among other matters of
business transacted was the
passing of strong resolutions
condemning the action of W. D.
Lewis, president and Peter Rad-
ford, ex-president of the Farm-
ers Union of Texas, in circulat-
ing literature in the interest of
> the candidacy of James Fergu-
son for governor of Texas.
The resolution was unani-
mously adopted. Both Ball and
Ferguson men were present,
and all voting for the resolution,

ures should be adopted to pro-
hibit the use for any purpose of
milk from any cows in a dairy
where charbon exists. Such milk
should be ordered destroyed
immediately after milking, and
by convulsions and death. In
this type of the disease, as well
as in the apoplectic form, post-
mortem examination of the car-
cass may fail to_reveal any def-
inite signs.
The home of Mrs. Nat Price
was thrown open to the Don’t
Worry Club last Friday from
3 to 6.
As the guests arrived they
were ushered into the dining
room where they were served
to punch by Mrs. Tom Price.
Aside from the many inter-
esting crochet patterns, several
games of rook and forty-two
were played.

The subacute form is the

VACATION?
What if the world be full of
flowers
And every tree with fruit be ripe,
And the bluebirds flutter as they
sing
if we must sit and type?
The picnic folk go laughing by
With basket, gun, and pipe,
The ball teams whoop in ecstacy.
But—we must type and type.
The catfish waits with eager eyes
Our lowering bait to swipe.
Jack-rabbits dodge behind each
tree;
But always we must type.
Vacation’s calling everywhere!
From our nose the tears we wipe
For life is such a dreary thing
When we must forever type.
