Say, boys, when you get even
so much as a penny for adver-
tising that ar Grant Lands Lo

received at this office, but as pay

A county clerk up in Kansas
filed a bill for more than S100
for work he had done as a county
official for the soldiers. As soon
as Governor Capper, an old-
fashioned country printer, heard
of the bad break, off went the
county clerk's head just back of

Some one writes in to know
why a certain kind of bear is
called the Teddy bear. Years

and it was unanimously agreed
that it should be known as the
Teddy Bear, in honor of the
killer. Ask an easy one next

The ways of the Divine Ruler
are beyond human understand-
ing. The past and the future
are to Him as an open book
wherein He sees from birth
throughout the longest span of
life. That it is necessary at
times to inflict pain injorder to be
merciful is well known and the
will of the Divine Physician must
be bowed to, for His knowledge
is above all.
The hearts of the entire com-
munity go out to this young
couple in theirgreat sorrow. The
touch of the baby fingers is gone
but not forgotten, and sleeping
sweetly in the arms of Jesus he
awaits the final day when the
toils and tribulations of earth are
but as a passing dream and the
eternal reunion accomplished.
The tiny form was laid to rest
Tuesday morning in the Catholic

ing. The pall bearers were
Masters J^ddie Solansky, Irvan
Herzik, Kennis Sehaefer, and
Alton Stanzel.

Extract From Congresssman Mans
field's Washington Letter
R. E- Walker of Eagle Lake, and
Joseph E. Trojan of Columbus have
been in Washington for several
weeks, having patent devices now
under consideration by the war de-
partment. Mr. Walker's device is
a wheel stretcher invented by Dr
Doole of Eagle Lake, who is now a
captain in the army. By this
stretcher one man can do the work
of two in handling the wounded
upon the battle-field. It was tested
at the army post at San Antonio
last winter and received partial
favorable report by the physicians,
and Mr. Walker has now per-
fected the running gear so as to
meet the objectionable features dis-
closed by that test. It has now
been retested at Fort Myer with the
most favorable results, and the war
department is now contemplating
putting it into active operation in
France.
Mr. Trojan's device is an elevating
ladder built upon the running gearof
an automobile, and by which a man
can be elevated to the height of one
hundred feet, for observation or
other purposes within less than five
minutes time. This device can also
be used as a portable wireless tower,
and it is believed it will become a
very useful device in the army.
Major Anderson of the Bureau of
Ordinance and Fortifications now
has it under the most critical inves-
tigation, and will, doubtless, give a
report on it next week.
Hon. Homer D. Wade of Stam-
ford, Texas, who has been in Wash-
ington several months returned
home laet week, but before going
he succeeded in making definite ar-
rangements for the visit of the
Rivers and Harbors committee to
Freeport, and other Texas points in
the month of November. The com-
mittee will have a special train at
its disposal, and other prominent
members of Congress and United
States Senators will go along.
Contributed
A much lamented fact has been
noted at the last several funerals in
our town, that is the hurrying of
automobiles, carriages and buggies
ahead of the procession. It ap-
pears to the average conservative
person who attends these last sad
rites as an unseemly haste, this
mad scurry to reach the burial
grounds before the remajns. There
was a time when all those who
came to pay this last tribute, waited
in line and, followed decorously, the
family of the deceased. But it has
become a most lamentable custom,
one lacking in thought, considera
tion and|respect to make a get-away
from the home before the services
are completed to rush out to the
cemetery and there to await the ar-
rival of the remains and such few
who still adhere to the proper cus-
tom of following. v
It is true that the advent of the
automobile has probably had much
to do with this custom. It is
claimed that it is almost impossible
to bring some of the high-power
machines to the required s'ovv pace,
but it is a pity nevertheless, that so
many others have followed in the
wake of this necessity on the part
of the few.
Egan Brainier and wife re-
turned tu thejr home in Sugar
Land Monday.

than an olive oil because it i3 not so
readily assimilated by the body. For m
this reason it provides an excellent in-
