Prosperity Talk
Amos Haynes, for the past seven
years owner and operator of the
Placid gin, was in Brady last Sat-
urday, and took occasion to make
a prosperity talk that would put
to shame any hard-times grouch.

At this meeting, Estelle Johan-

monthly meeting held Thursday af-

Carroll. After Miss Leta Ben-
nett, county agent, had discussed
her trip to Colorado and her stud-
ies pursued there this summer and
had given a demonstration on the
"emergency shelf" for the pantry,
the meeting was turned into a so-
cial.
A contest involving “fun and
foolishness” was entered into with
enthusiasm and with Miss Bennett
and Mrs. J. P. Barton acting as
judges. The judges rendered the
decisions in favor of themselves

He says that the cotton ginned
before the rain was so spongy that,
the ties would burst off the bales,
and the cotton would have to be1
pressed and tied all over again.
When farmers told him the season!
was too late to make cotton, he
reminded them that the rains could
fill out the bolls already on the
stalks. In fact, his observation is,
that almost invariably the cotton
with a short stubby stalk makes
best, while cotton with a rank'
growth usually has some disaster'
to strike it before the bolls ever
mature.
To his McCulloch friends who are '
included to be pessimistic, Mr. j
Haynes urges a trip thru San Saba :

ing that when they see the cotton
around Lometa and Lampasas, the
cotton fields of McCulloch county
will look the best ever to them. |

KONJOLA ENDS
NEURITIS AND
STOMACH PAINS
Grateful Man Eager to Endorse
Famed Medicine That Did
So Much for Him.
MR. W. T. BRYANT
“Konjola is the best medicine ev-
er made,” said Mr. W. T. Bryant,
1009 Morrell street, Oak Cliff, near
Dallas. “Neuritis became so se-
vere in my legs that I could scarce-
ly walk. There was a constant
aching in my back and shoulders. I
! could never get a perfect night’s
rest. My bowels were irregular
and I was constantly taking ca-
thartics. I always had a sour sto-
| mach, frequent accumulations of 1
gas and severe headaches. My vi-
tality was at a low ebb, and I felt |
miserable.
“After giving Konjola a trial I
am like a different man. Konjola
restored my organs to normal con-
dition and they now function per-
fectly. I am no longer bothered!
with indigestion or constipation.
The neuritis pains have completely
left me and my entire system is in
good condition. Konjola deserves
all the praise it gets—and more.”
When taken for six to eight
| weeks, Konjola the new and differ-
* “An medicine, will work Wonders’
- | that will astonish those who suffer
from the stubborn ills of the sto-
mach, liver, kidneys and bowels and
of rheumatism, neuritis, and ner-
vousness.
Konjola is sold in Brady, Texas,
at Cobb Drng store, and by all the
best druggists in all towns through- i
. out this entire section.
MISSOURI PACIFIC
EMPLOYES OPERATE
BIG BUSINESS

,
p AILROAD WORK naturally attracts the finest men and
Ix women in America, primarily, I believe, because it offers
the greatest opportunity for service. And there Is no happiness
that can equal the soul-satisfaction that comes to an Individual
with the knowledge that some worth-while service has been
achieved to make the world a better place in which to live.
This is one of the reasons the Missouri Pacific Lines Is a
genuine "Service Institution.”
Q The wonderful morale of the Missouri Pacific organization
has been remarked throughout the industrial world. Many
have believed there is some mystery in it. Others suspect it is
the result of lucky accident It is neither. But it is worthy of
note and comment. Because railroads generally and the
Missouri Pacific particularly have drawn into their ranks the
best of the citizenship and because once engaged in it few ever
leave railroad work. As a result there has been built up over
a long period of years a great industrial family.
q Missouri Pacific men and women are good citizens as well
as good railroaders. They are valuable assets to every
community in which they work and live. And their abilities
are not limited to the field of transportation. Among other
things, the employes of the Missouri Pacific, themselves, own
and operate a hospital system that comes within the classifica-
tion of "Big Business."
q This "business" with revenues of $745,901.4. In 1929 and
operating expenses of $661,0419.65 and with bull Ings and
other assets valued at $1,603,582.11 cared for 3,911 patients
last year, with an average of 140 patients a day and an average
of 13 days hospitalization per patient or n total of 50,062 hos-
pital days. The entire Institution Is owned, governed and
operated by the employes and their representatives and this
is only one of many reasons for the magnificent morale and
esprit de corps of the Missouri Pacific family of G0,000 workers,
q The management of the property maintains a liberal pension
system for employes incapacitated through illness, injury
or age and this, also, is another reason for the wonderful family
feeling of loyalty that makes the Missouri Pacific organization
an outstanding one.
q Both the management and the Missouri Pacific family have
complete realization of their duties and responsibilities as
citizens and human beings as well as railroaders and both are
striving to live up to the highest ideals and traditions of our
country as well as those of our railroad. These are only a
few of the reasons the public gets “super service" from the
Missouri Pacific, "A Service Institution.”
I solicit your co-operation and assistance.
