Black-Draught.
Black-Draught was recom-
mended to Mrs. Reathla Ed-
mondson, of Williamson, N.
Car., by her father-in-law.
She says:
"Shortly after I became a
brlda, I had a spell of Indi-
gestion, and my father-in-law
told me to take a dose of
Black-Draught. I had never
heard of it before, but I tried
it, and got such quick relief.
I have turned to It ever since.
"About three years ago, I
began having acute attacks of
indigestion real frequently.
I would feel severe pains
through the lower part of my
body, and they were accom-
Rpanied by bad gas pains. I
took a systematic course "of
Black-Draught and soon be-
9 S3-11 to feel better. The acute
I attacks disappeared."

EAST TEXAS HIGHWAY
CONFERENCE HELD ATDALLAS
Longview, Texas, Oct. 16.—Formu-
lation of definite recommendations for
Legislative action to put into effect
the highway policy endorsed by the
State Democratic Convention and pre-
viously advanced by the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce, will occupy
attention of the board of directors of
the regional commercial organization
at its meeting in Dallas on Monday
October 15. It is the view of the di-
rectors that since the general policy
of putting the cost of construction
and maintenances upon the traffic
has found wide-spread, a definite plan
of putting it into effect should be for-
mulated and advanced for general
consideration.
Prior to consideration by the entire
board a special committee appointed
by President John D. Middleton will
draft a plan for the consideration of
the entire directorate. Members of
this committee are L. D. Gilbert
Texarkana, Chairman; Charles G.
Jester, Corsicana; Tucker Royall.
Palestine; T. W. Davidson, Dallas;
and Clarence Ouslew, Dallas, director
of highways and forestry.
madisonville high school
students write essays
on fire prevention
The Madisonville school can always
be counted as one of those schools
that carrys out every requirment
for good citizenship. Last week, as
we all know, was National Fire pre-
vention week and the school took the
lead in Madisonville of putting over
a good program. The school had
two fire drills' which were performed
perfectly, and each student in the
grammar school was required to draw
a poster or write a theme on fire pre-
vention. The following themes are
among the best written in the Sixth
nad Seventh grades:

fire prevention
(By John Dean Carter, Sixth Grade)
America's fire waste has long been
a most serious problem. During the
eight years of 1920 to 1927 ar. an-
nual average of 500 million dollars
worth of property values were con-
sumed by fire in this country. Statis-
ticians tell us that ten thousand per-
sons were burned to death and twen-
ty thousands were injured by fire last
year in United States and Canada,
eighty per cent being of the depend-
ent class—mothers, children, the sick
in hospitals and unfortunate in state
institutions.
As to the causes of fire, matches
cigarettes and cigars ^started fires
causing a loss of more than 37 mil-
lion dollars.
Over 60 per cent of the fires take
place in the homes. Fire last year in
homes amounted to an average of a
fire every four minutes. Defective
flues and chimneys, rubbisH in attics
and cellars, dry grass and trash piles
are common sources of fire around
the home. A competent electrician
should inspect the wiring each year
and care should be taken in using
electric irons and other electric house-
hold articles.
Every fire is local and should be
attacked locally. There are three
lines of attack against fire—first pre-
venting it from starting—second.,
preventing it from spreading—third
putting it out. The loss by fire in
America is 10 times as great as that
of Europe because in Europe they ai-e
fighting it before it starts.
To reduce America's fire waste
steps should be taken to cleanup fire
hazards in the community, to develop
careful habits, to enact ordinances
providing for better building con-
struction and for improvement in
the fire department and water works
system.
In every city and town in Texas
there should be organized a general
fire prevention committee represent-
ing the community for continuous
war fare in preventing fire waste.
CAUSES OF FIRE
(By Casey Fannin, Seventh Grade)
Fire is a good servant but a poor
master. It cooks our food, warms
us in cold weather, melts our iro*
ore so we can have cars, boats, knives,
guns, and many other things. There-
fore we call it our friends. But it is
our foe also. It burns our homes
and other things. Many millions of
dollars worth of property iB burned
each year by fire.
The chief causes of fire is a word of
twelve letters, "Carelessness. Care-
lessness starts fires so quickly that it
is hardly noticed until it is too late.
Of course carelessness is not a hu-
man being, but is something that is
practiced by everyone.
Mar^ fires are started by matches
being in paper boxes where rats can
get them. Some people keep matches
where small children can get them
to play with. They strike them and
some times set on fire a barn, house \
or some other valuable thing.
Some matches are of poor quality
and when you strike them the heads I
fly off. If you don't watch this1
might cause a great fire and someone j
would be killed. The best matches to j
use are the safety, which will noi I
strike anywhere except on the con- j
tainer. These are mutch safer than
the other kind because rats cannot
strike them, neither can a child.
Smokers cause a great deal of!
fires ar.d loss of lives ^ by throwing j
burning cigarettes and matches in;
rubbish or som? other inflamable
substance. Many forest fires are
caused by a careless smoker who
threw a burning cigarette or lighted
match down, causing a loss of much
timber and maybe a loss of lives.
Defective flues are another source
of fires. Cracks in flues where birds
build their nests catch fire by a spark
and in a few minutes the whole house
is on fire. If you have it repaired be-
fore you use it again. It is liable to
catch fire some nght and before you
knew it it would be almost gone and
might Burn someohe to death.
Another cause is defective wiring
which may have the insulation chewed
off by the rats. About once of twee

people bought Chevrolets
this year f
Overwhelming public endorsement
since the day of its announcement!
New heights of popularity month
after month in rapid succession! A
million new buyers since January 1st!
—such is the spectacular record of the
Bigger and Better Chevrolet which
makes it today, by a tremendous mar-
gin, first choice of the nation for 1928.
In all the automobile industry there
are only eight manufacturers who,
during their entire existence, have
produced a million cars or more. Yet
that number of people have bought
Chevrolets in less than ten months of
the current year! And this tremen-
dousacceptance has been won because
the Bigger and Better Chevrolet pro-
vides, to an amazing degree, those
basic factors of beauty, performance,
comfort, distinction and advanced
design which the vast majority are
now demanding in the cars they buy.

There is another way for fires to

It is the green hay that gets hot and

show, while fifty years ago, when
hatcheries were unknown in this
country, there were at least 150
hatcheries in Egypt, each with a ca-
pacity of about 300,000 eggs a year.
Thirty-four years ago the first ship-
ment of chicks was made in this
country, inaugurating what was to
grow to one of agriculture's largest
industries.
Although the hatcheries of the
country have several organizations,
and do millions of dollars worth of
business each year, it was not until
recently that some of the more pro-
gressive hatcherymen banded togeth-
er to promote the sale of chicks on
a purely business basis, with quality
of product, and excellence pf service
to customers as their basic ideal
These htcherles, operating under the
slogan, "Hatchery Chicks For Greater
Profits," are scattered from coast to
coast. They come nearest to the ideal
of the ancient Egyptian hatcheries,
whose operators for generations
handed their business down from the
father to the son, to carry out the
traditions of service which is a part
of their industry. •

aristocrat of the party, "one of my

ing of the Ten Commandments."

THIS BANK
Farmers and poultrymen who hold
the belief that when they buy chicks
from a modern hatchery they are pat-
ronizing an infant industry, are
due for a surprise. King Tut, so an-
cient records show, must have dined
regularly on broilers raised from
hatchery chicks, for incubators have
been used for preduction of chicks by
the Egyptians and Chinese from time
immemorial.
The hatchery business, far from be-
ing a product of modern enterprise,
was old when Columbus first landed
in America. It has behind it the tra-1
dition of ages, and is probably the
first farm industry to adopt economi-
cal mass production methods—long
before modern industrial leaders "dis-
covered" this means of reducing pro-
duction costs.
The hatching and selling of baby
chicks as a business enterprise has
existed more than 2000 years in
Egypt and China, ancient records
—Conducted along conservative but
broad guage lines; actuated by a con-
scientious desire to conserve and
multiply the wealth of the community
in the interest of common progress,
invites your consideration of its su-
perior facilities.
