How Do People Acquire ^
Property and Gain Independence ■
By saving in a small way to accumulate capi-
tal for investing and reinvesting.
Large profits are often made from timely in-
vestments. You cannot tell when an opportunity for
making a profitable investment will present itself.
A growing savings account in this bank will
provide for such an emergency. It will give you a bor-
rowing power equal to the capital which you save.

We want you to consider this a

IN THIRTY DAYS
(From Greenville Herald.)
('. A. Shock, president of the
I 'll ion Telephone Company (*f Mc-
Kinney, was in Greenville Wednes-
day and yesterday looking after the
unloading of a shipment of Michigan
cedar telephone poles which will be
used in the construction of the In-
dependent Long Distance Telephone
lines between this city and McKin-
ney.
Mr. Shock stated that his com-
pany has just completed the installa-
tion of eight wires between McKin-
ney and Sherman and have eight
wires in operation from McKinney
as far Bouth as Piano. It is expect-
ed that the work will be completed
into Dallas by June 1st, \fchere con-
nection will bo made with the New
Automatic Company of that city.
The McKlnney-Greenville line will
be completed with In thirty days.
Connection will be made at this
point with the Home Telephone
Company's exchange and three cir-
cuits will be installed to begin with.
No. 10 copper wire Is being tiBed and
arrangements have been made for
direct connections with Dallj^s from
Greenville. This means that within
thirty days from this time the Home
Telephone Company will have sud-
denly become a lively factor in the
long distance Held as these connec-
tions will place them In position to
handle more than three-fourths of
the long distance business out of the
city.
The Union Telephone Company
lias just completed the installation
of new exchanges at McKinney and
Piano, in modern office* ol' their
own and have the poles Tip ready to
string the wires from McKinney to
Pilot Point and Denton. The com-
pletion of the work under way will
place all the Independent Telephone
exchanges in North Texas in connec-
tion with each other over superior
copper circuits and has been brought
about largely as a result of the in-
stallation of the new Automatic
telephone exchange at Dallas, which
has already more than 2,500 tele-
phones in operation and more than
7,500 contracts yet to 1111.
HOME FROM PARIS.
Judge and Mrs. T. C. Goodlier Visit-
ed Daughter In That City.
Judge T. C. Goodner and wife
have returned from a ten diays' visit
at Paris to their son-in-law, Judge
W. F. Moore and family. Judge
Goodner, who made Collin county
one of its very beBt county judges
for three or four terms, or until he
voluntarily retired, is one of oqr
most extensively known and highly
honored older citizens, successful
retired lawyers and business men.
Judge Moore married, Miss Mary,
the only daughter of Judge and
Mrs. Goodner. Now their occasional
visits to the Paris grandchildren are
a source of the greatest pleasure to
the fond grandparents, Judge and
Mrs. Goodner, who report an es-
pecially enjoyable time on this trip.
Popular in Grayson.
The Herald man spent two days
In Sherman this week on a mission
of business and incidentally heard
some comments on the political out-
look as to the congressional contest
in that district. It appears that our
newspaper friend, Senator Tom W.
Perkins, is In popular favor with
those people; at least we heard more
said about Tom than any one of his
opponents and It is clearly certain
that he 1b in the race. Mr. Perkins
has had a very successful career—
has won out on all previous aspira-
tions for public favor and the way
It looks up In Grayson at this time,
the man that beats him for Con-
gress will be "going some."—YVaxa-
hackie Herald.
The Keeping of Sunday.
(Contributed)
Sundlay will never be kept till
people have learned to worship. Sun-
day is the Lord's Day and the first
duty of worship. Our Lord has giv-
en us a service of worship and told
Mb to "Do tl\is," and It is our duty
as Christians every Lord's Day to at-
tendi the Lord's House and join in
the Lord's own service as an act of
worship. Also not only has the Idea
of worship been almost lost, but the
idea of duty seems to have gone af-
ter it. The Church Catechism teach-
es us to do our duty, but the world
teaches us instead to tako our
pleasure, all we can get of It, Sun-
days and week-days alike. Sunday
will never be kept till the Catholic
religion haB again been learned the
meaning of duty and worship are
once again understood.—American
Catholic.

DECLINE NOTED IN
THE WHITE PLAGUE
In the decade from 1901 to 1910,
the death rate from tuberculosis In
the I'nltel States declined from 19G.9
for each 100,000 living to 100.3, a
decrease of IS.7 per cent, while The
general death rate, including all
causes of death, declined only one-
half as fast, or at the rate of 9.7 per
cent, from 1055.0 to 1495.8.
These figures were given dtit in a
statement Issued to-day by the Na-
tional Association for tlte Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis. They
are baBed on data abstracted from
the reports of the United States Bu-
reau of the Census, and cover the
registration area in this country. Ac-
cording to the statement, the tuber-
culosis rate has declined Bteadily
since 1904, when it was 201.6. On
the other hand, the general death
rate sIiowb a fluctuation downward in
general trend, but not as steadily as
the tuberculosis rate. The decline In
the tuberculosis death rate in the last
ten years means a saving of 27,000
lives at the present time.
In certain cities, such as New
York, Boston, Cleveland and Chica-
go, and in states like Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and .Connecticut, the
decline In the tuberculosis death
rate is much more marked than in
tiie country at large.
The National Association says that
there are man* factors working to-
gether to cause the decline in the
tuberculosis death rate, such factors
as the change in the character of our
urban population, increased sanita-
tion, and better housing, but pro-
bably as potent a factor as any has
been the nation wide anti-tuberculo-
sis campaign. "It may be l'oretoldi
with considerable certainty," the
statement concludes, "that when the
effects of the present rapidly Increas-
ing provision for the care of tubercu-
losis patients shall have become evi-
dent, the decline in the death rate
from consumption in the coming de-
cade will be even more marked than
that in the last one."
Visiting Old Friends Here.
Will L. Campbell, wife and chil-
dren of Durant, Ok., are visiting
Mrs. Campbell's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. D. F. Forshee, in this city. Mr.
Campbell fa a barber who followed
that trade In McKinney for several
years, but left here four or five years
age. For some1 time he has been
engaged In deep well drilling, and
while operating his outfit recently
near Durant was the victim of an ac-
cident that deprived him of a couple
of his lingers. We are glad to know,
however, that Mr. Campbell Is rap-
Idly recovering from his painful ln-
jury.

dne Up For Singleton.
"Farmer" Henry Singleton over
at McKinney is running for Com-
missioner of Agriculture, ' nnd his
friends say he will receive the sup-
port of all men who think the Tex-
as Department of Agriculture should
be run by #n experienced and suc-
cessful farmer rather than by a
man whose chief success has been
"farming the farmer." We always
vote for a lawyer for Attorney Gen-
eral and a school teacher as head
of the Department of Education. We

THE TRAVELS OF A WATCH
Here's some good reasons why
you should have your watch
cleaned at least once a year:
In ten years, which Includes
two leap years and consequent-
ly a total of 3,652 days, the
hour hand has made 7,304
and the minute hand 87,648
revolutions. The end of an
average minute hand travels
more than 10,820 yards—
more than six miles. The sec-
ond hand has made 5,258,SSl)
revolutions, and its extremity
has traversed on the dial a dis-
tance of upward of 123 miles.
The escape wheel has made
52,588,800 revolutions, and as
it has fifteen teeth, It has
come 788,832,000 times In
contact with each pallet. The^
balance has made 1,577,644,-
000 vibrations and any point
on the outside of the rim has
covered a distance of about
50,000 miles, and that is
equal to twice the circumfer-
ence of the earth.
