THERE IS pending a piece of
legislation that everyone in-
terested in the utility situation
should interest himself enough
to "write to your senator and rep-
resentative" about.
* * *
It is the utility measure
that would establish a utility
commission, much as the gas
commission is established to-
day. It is our understanding
the officials of most all of
the electric companies are
favoring this measure. In
fact, some of the officials
have sent their representa-
tives from this section of the
Lone Star state to lobby for
the bill.
* • *
As it stands today, there is al-
! ways a possibility that the city
council, if it is the right sort,
will regulate the utility compan-
ies, who, as a whole, are gourging
money from the people and keep-

l.ig up such men as J. P. Morgan
in Wall street. The citizenship of
this country is gradually learning
these facts. I think that the fact
that we have freedom of the press
and freedom of speech and a
president who is dissiminatiiig in-
formation will someday get the
people wise to the actions of these
big utility octopuses.
♦ *
Under the law mat is pro-
posed in Austin, it would re-
quire a fortune to push a case
of overcharging on utility
matters. Everything would
have to be filed in Travis
county, Texas. Now, for
Rhode Island, that might not
be so bad; but for Texas, it
would mean that we, the peo-
ple, would have to suffer.
•
By all means write Senator
John S. Redditt and Rep. H. T.
Brown to fight Senate Bill 23 by
Senator VanSandt. Senator O'-
Neal was the lone member fight-
ing the bill in the committee
room, of which Mr. Redditt is a
member, when it was due to come
up for hearing sometime Thurs
day.
It will take away the rights of
municipalities to regulate utility
companies.
HILE some of the local mer-
chants are "spoofing" at the
idea of a trades day in Rusk, some
of our adjoining towns are run-
ning away with the power draw-
ing trade throughout this ter
ritory by sponsoring events of
this kind.
* * *
I had a very striking exam-
ple of what trades day will do
a few days ago when in an
adjacent county I heard a
conversation between two
farmers. That was in Hen-
derson county, the eastern
end.
"Are you going over to
Canton to trades day tomor-
row?" one of the men asked.
"I don't know," was the re-
ply. "There's one in Cors-
icana, too, you know, and I
may go there."
Both Corsicana and Can-
ton are at least 50 miles from
where these gentlemen live.
♦ # *
I would be very glad to see
Rusk step out and throw a trades
day once each month. It will
draw the crowd, if properly ad-
vertised. and would serve to build
this trade territory.

WILL PROSECUTE OUT OF
COUNTY LICENSED TRUCKS
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Morrow of
Athens visited friends in the city
Wednesday evening.
Statement Issued By
Highway Chief
"If we find any trucks operat-
ing with out-of-county licenses
when they are not registered in
their home county, we will take
those licenses off, and prosecute
them for operating without lic-
enses," was the statement made
by Capt. Elliot, chief highway
patrolman from Tyler, to tax as-
sessor-collector J. W. Pearson
here Tuesday.
Mr. Pearson stated Wednesday
morning that registrations are ex-
tremely slow about coming in,
and urged all vehicle owners to
avoid the inevitable last minute
rush by coming into the office
now.
"Only about 600 passenger cars,
50 farm trucks and 50 commercial
trucks have been registered thus
far," Mr. Pearson averred. Ap
proximately 4000 cars and 800
each of the farm and commercial
trucks are yet to be registered, he
added.
Off|ces are now open for the
convenience of the public at Jack-
sonville, Alto, Wells, Troup, and
other advantageous points in the
county in order to save people
the trouble of a trio to Rusk.

WALLACE B. LOVE
MAKE UP?
FEW husbands can understand
why a wife should turn from a
pleasant companion into a slirew
for one whole week in every month.
You can say "I'm sorry" and
Idas and make up easier before
marriage than after. If you're wise
and if you want to hold your hus-
band, you won't be a three-quarter
wife.
For three generations one woman
has told another how to go "smil-
ing through" with Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound. It
helps Nature tone up the system,
thus lessening the discomforts from
the functional disorders which
women must endure in the three
ordeals of life: 1.' Turning from
girlhood to womanhood. 2. Pre-
paring for motherhood. 3. Ap-
proaching "middle age."
Don't be a three-quarter wife,
take LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S
VEGETABLE COMPOUND and
Go "Smiling Through."
FEEL about it just like Bob
Burns in his recent release.
'We're a pretty self-centered lot"
* * *
We gripe about the weather.
If it rains too much and busi-
ness is a little slow, we think
that the world is coming to an
end. The merchant will say
that his business is ruined,
that he will soon go bankrupt
if things don't change. Weath-
er is the most important sub-
ject these days.
* * *
But why should we gripe when
there are flods, drouths, plagues,
famines, and depressions in other
iarts of the world that are killing
nillions by the day. Yep, we are
a self-centered lot.
CONGRATULATIONS of the
sport-loving Cherokee county
go this week to the Bulard High
school girls, who on Saturday of
last week advanced to the semi-
finals in the state A. A. U. meet
at Hillsboro. The Bullard girls
made a fine showing for this
section in that tournament.
* *
A number of times this year
they have been "thorns" in
the side of the Rusk High
Eagle Lassies. They defeated
Rusk Sextet in finals in more
than one tourney in which
the two clubs entered.
* * *
The winner of the meet at Hills-
boro was Emory, who defeated
the Celeste Blue Devils, 24 to 21.
Celeste advanced to the finals by
defeating Bulard by a 44 to 42
count. Third place was won by
Allison, which club defeated the
Smith county team by a count of
46 to 36.
* * *
Bullard came in for her
share of other honors, too,
when Louise Kirkpatrick was
named as a first team guard
and Maurine Ray as second
club forward.

TO time for formalities. The thirst of
strong men clamorcd. And why a
jury? The dirty, cattle-rustling so-and-
so was caugh$ redhanded. Anyone knew
the penalty for that.
It's an arcazinp story—how one man armed
with a single law book two guns and a light-
ning-fast draw, namec himself the "Law West
o the Pecos"—and made it stick! And made
(he business of the court a profitable side line
to the "Jersey Lilly" saloon. A court without
a iail, whe'e the punishment for every offense
was either nang;ng or a fine—and the fines
weni to the court!
Amazing ana amusing—funnier than a
comcdy; packed full of thrills—the most color-
ful of all tall Texas tales. The true story of
Judge Roy Bean, "Law West of the Pecos,"
proprietor of the Jersey Lilly saloon and dis-
penser of two-gut: justicc.
For the first time, it's been set down in a book
—and what a book! You'll never lay it down
from the time you read the first paragraph.
Ruel McDaniel, editor ot the Sheriff's Associa-
tion ot Texas Magazine, ti&s combed the
memories of kin in? friends, and his pen ha«
given a vivid anc! authentic account of the lift
