considered, as having any real
wallop. The plaint was delivered in
person by que of his long-time sub-
scribers, Mrs. S. P. Allen, of the
Melvin community, and was based
entirely upon the fact that for two
whole issues last week, the "Sauce"
column had been crowded out of

Such complaint has unquestion-
ed merit—Sauce is a garrulous old
fellow and needs must have an out-
let for his loquacity, and what
better method could be devised
than to set aside one column of:
The Standard each week? We
ask—you answer!

Lest Sauce lack a subject, Mrs.
Allen supplied one. And a good
one. Write some “Sauce” about
being contented and happy, said
she. And the most eloquent editor-
ial that could be written would
merely be to point to Mrs. Allen
as a living example of being hap-
py and contented. In the twenty
years we have known Mrs. Allen,
never has she failed to greet us
with a smile and a cheery word
of greetings. Never a complaint;
hers is always a bright and happy
outlook. Advancing years rest
lightly upon her; her step is still
spry and her mind clear and active.
She proudly related that while her
hearing was not so good, her eye-
sight was unimpaired and that she
delighted in doing the finest kind
of needle and fancy work.

Small wonder that she is happy

SAUCE HAS HAD another task
delegated him. A task which he
assumes with zest and alacrity.
At that, it is quite a herculean
undertaking, being nothing less
than the setting aright of the er-
rant and all-too-evasive editor of
the Brownwood Bull-etin, who,
finding him on the losing side of
a very weighty and momentous
argument, now endeavors a right-
about face, and assiduously prom-
ulgates the very matter which
Sauce has already steered to as-
tounding success.
It will be recalled that in recent
months the Brownwood editor,
while serving pigs knuckle and
schwarz-brod “Around the Supper
Table,” descanted raucously and
vociferously to his somewhat sur-
prised boarders upon the condi-
tions of the McCulloch county high-
ways. His favorite sing-song was
that McCulloch highways were a
disgrace and should not be traveled
in dry weather and could not be
traveled in wet weather. Also and
fernist, that such bold spirits
as essayed the travelings in spite
of his forebodingss, were risking
inverted vertebra, or worse.
• • •
•Finally, and as an apparent
clincher to his argumentation, he,
by innuendo, gave impression that
it was due solely and entirely to
Sauce's somnolence and retrogres-
sive spirit that the McCulloch
county highways were not admit-
ted to the best of society.
* * *
To add insult to injury, the bold
Brownwood bulletiner completely
ignored the fact that in his own
bailiwick, in the City of Kolleges
and Kultur, forsooth, was main-
taine a veritable Hogan’s Alley
connection between the magnifi-
cient county highway system
(built by the State Highway De-
partment) and the streets of the
Brownwood business section (“pav-
ed" by the Ancient Order of Tar
Spreaders).
TO AMELIORATE, alleviate and
amend this disgraceful condi-
tion, Sauce undertook by personal
persuasiveness to bring about the
paving in modernistic manner
this nightmare of a passageway,
and, and to show how easily such
might be accomplished by one of
his acknowledged standing and
ability, he wagered the Brownwood
scrivner that he could accomplish
his purpose ere that worthy could
bring to aculmination the improve-
ment of the McCulloch county
highway.
The terms of the wager were,
as we recall them, that the loser
should supply to the winner all
the liquid sustenance that the latter
could consume over the period of
the time the actual building or
improvement was in progress.
• • *
Unmindful of the terms of his
solemn wager and agreement, the
Bulletin editor now seeks to squirm
out of the contract by jubilantly
asserting that he has succeeded in
getting his highway entrance pav-
ed before Sauce could get the Mc-
Cullouch county highway program
completed. Which bold assertion
adds water on our wheel. It con-
firms Sauce’s noted efficacy, and
advertises Jim White’s notorious
inefficiency.
Says the Supper Table Sage:
We have succeeded in arrang-
ing a contract for the paving
w of one of the highway entran
Ires and the construction work
* on the other one is just around
the corner, while all Harry
Schwenker has been able to do
over in McCulloch county it to
issue bonds for the purchase
of a highway right-of-way.
All of which proves that what
is to be will be, and we had
a cinch from the very begin-
ning.
Sauce is no Shylock: neverthe-
less, having given his Brownwood
contemporary the long odds of the
wager; having demonstrated his
own marvelous psychic powers by
and thru his accurate reading of
With the installation of a new
water pump by the Brady Water &
Light Works, pumping costs at the
municipal plant have been reduced
approximately 50%, according to
Edward Geeslin, sunerintendert.
The new installation is a Pomona
turbine, water lubricated pump, of
the same type as is used by many
of the largest manufacturing plants
over the United States. The type
of pump heretofore in use was an
air compressor, the water being
forced out of the well by compress-
ed air.
The new pump sets directly over
the well, with 156 feet of pipe be-
ing run into the hole. The turbine
pump is set at a depth of 140 feet,
thus giving 16 feet of suction. The
turbine is operated by means of a
steel shaft, set in the 6-inch casing,
and anchored every 10 feet.
Cost of the new pump and in-
stallation totaled approximately
$1,500.

Grand Jury Returns
Eleven Indictments
Eleven indictments had been re-
turned by the grand jury for the
October term of district court, at
a late hour yesterday afternoon.
The body was still investigating
other cases, and more were ex-
pected before nightfall.
Most of the indictments return-
ed were whiskey and burglary
cases, and in charging the jurors
Monday morning, District Judge
E. J. Miller emphasized the appar-
ent increase of such cases, and
urged that an attempt be made to
stop such existing conditions. Dis-
trict Attorney C. L. South also
mentioned the increase of burg-
laries in this section, and said
that heavy penalties on the offend-
ers must be inflicted.
Of the 11 true bills returr ed by
the grand jury, nine of them are
as follows:
Arlee Brown, (negress), as-
sault and attempt to murder.
Altogracia Lopez, possession of
marijuana.
Glenn Snell, held in jail at Palo
Pinto, burglary.
Luke Marshall, also held in jail
at Palo Pinto, burglary,
Jake Hamilton, violation liquor
law.
August Custer, theft of cattle.
Doc Alford, burglary.
Jim Castro, violation of liquor
law.
Mrs. Minnie Castro, violation of

water consumption for the month LLUURALU 1 U
of July this year was nearly doub-
le that for July last year. The
increase in revenues was approxi-
mately enough to cover the in-
creased cost of pumping. The re-
duced water rate was placed into
effect for the month of June, July,
August and September. The rate re
mained the same on the first 4.000
gallon consumption, viz: $2.50. j
after which the rate on additional |
consumption was set at 5 cents per
1.000 gallons, instead of 15 cents
per 1,000 gallons.

statement of water consumption
and receipts over a three-year per-

Another rate reduction which be-
came effective about June 1st of
this year affected large consum-
ers only, and was made at the in-
stance of the Santa Fe railroad.
The rate was reduced 5 cents on
the 1,000 gallons, after the first
100,000 gallons of cousumption.
This was the equivalent of a charge
of $16.90 for the first 100,000 gal-
lons, and 10 cents per 1,000 gal-
lons thereafter.
Also, in the above figures, the
receipts for the month of August
include the special charge made
semi-annually for extra fire pro-
tection for various local institu-
tions, including the hospital, oil
mill, compress and others.
That the municipal plant is en-
joying a steadily-growing busi-
ness is further indicated by the fact
that its total connections now are
only some 30 or 40 less than at
the peak during the most pros-
perous of times .
Comparative electric consump-
tion this year and last is empha-
sized by the record for September
of this year, which totaled 191,750
k. w., as compared with 137,650
k. w. for September of last year.
Following a week of strenuous
practice, in which the coaches
spent considerable time in teach-
ing their men to block, the Brady
Bulldogs will play their second
practice game of the season at
Richards Park, Saturday afternoon
at 3:00 o’clock, meeting the Eldora-
do High school eleven.
Officials have announced that
the admission charge has been re-
duced to 35 cents.
Despite that Eldorado lost its
opening game two weeks ago to
Ballinger, 13-0, the Brady team
is expecting plenty of opposition.
George Carrithers, Bulldog quarter
back, may not be able to start the
contest. In the event Vernon Short
will call signals. Eldorado beat the
San Angelo High School Kittens,
81 to 0 last week.
The Brady coaches worked over-
time with their men Wednesday
and Thursday afternoons. Coach
Earl Rudder was down in the muck
of the line showing his boys how
to take out the opposition, opening
holes, while coach E. J. Powell
had his backs, guards and ends
working on some new plays that
might mean the turning point of
the game this week.
The first team Wednesday rang
up for four touchdowns against
the seconds. Then the first string
backfield, working behind the sec-
ond string line, scored a touch-
down in the closing minutes. The
drives were featured by the slash-
es and reverses of Karl Keller Stef-
fens, Vernon Short and John Glass.
Tom Short was slightly ill and was
not in uniform. Steffens’ passes to
St. Clair and Vernon Short also
worked well.
Coaches Powell and Rudder are
well pleased over the showing thus
far made by the unexperienced
line. While it will likely be as

BURSTED BLOOD VESSEL
FATAL TO PIONEER
Another old-timer dropped from
the ranks of pioneer West Texans
last Thursday afternoon when J. T.
Cornelius, 73 years of age, died
after a brief illness.
Mr. Cornelius suffered a bursted
blood vessel in his head Wednesday
of last week, and died the follow-
ing day. Funeral services were held
at Menard, and burial was made in
the cemetery there.
Survivors included two sons, Wil-
lie Cornelius of Rochelle, and J. C.
Cornelius of Brady; two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Joe Hill of Brady, and
Mrs. Allin Williams of Gatesville.
The
old-lace-and-lavender romance, the quaintly gay costumes, and
the glamorous atmosphere of the early 1900‘s are brought to the screen
in “One Sunday Afternoon,” opening Sunday at the Palace Theatre.
Gary Cooper is starred, with Frances Fuller (left) and Fay Wray.
.A graphic story of how compe-
tition forced him to serve beer or
close his doors is told by Otto
Kinman owner of the Palace
cotfee Shop, who started serving
state last Friday night. Kinman
states that it is not so much rev-
enue from the beer which benefits
him, but that his cash revenue on
meals has increased 300 per cent
over the corresponding days a
week ago.
Upon advise of legal counsel,
I am convinced that I am not vio.
lating any law. The moment they
prove to me that I am violating a
law, I shall quit selling beer. “Kin-
man says.
3 "Every Saturday night and on
Sundays since a neighboring coun-
ty has sold legalized beer. I have
watched my customers migrate
away from here. My business on
those days dropped off 50 per cent
that a competitor right here

counts.
I would never have served beer

to Stop, my competitor from doing
so, . Kinman continues. "But my
business in meals last Saturday
and Sunday increased 300 percent
my payroll 100 per cent my meat
and bread bill rose 300 per cent
my ice bill 500 per cent, and there
was a corresponding benefit to
other merchants who supply me.”
I had to do this or close my
doors ” he said. Other local cafes
are also complaining about a heavy
loss in their business to beer serv-
ing establishments, but have
chosen to wait and see what act-
ion the county court will take on
the charges filed against one of
the local beer serving establish-
ments.

was the offer made by a bond
salesman to sell the city any
amount of the 1908 issue of Street
Improvement Bonds at $94.50.
These are the only optional bonds
issued by the City. The council,
however, did not consider the offer
sufficiently advantageous to the
City, and refused to consider the
same.
We acknowledge with sincere
thanks, the many kindnesses and
expressions of sympathy bestow-
ed upon us during the illness and
death of our father. May God
bless each of you.
