Of Standard make costs upwards of $100, but machines
that have been used very little can be bought from regular
typewriter houses for half that sum, or from us for a good
deal kss than that. We can sell you a good machine—
Remington, Underwood, L. C. Smith, Fox or any make you
like, at ifrom
$20.00 TO $35.00
Others, including old style non-visible machines and
Olivers at from $6.00 up. We can save you easily one third,
as regular dealers have rent, ofiic, expense and salesmen
to pay, while we buy for cash from dealers wh- are over-

MISS ft'All'U lifted cooklM
frum Hie uvea witU almost ten
Uer touch. "Set-in*," *i>e reiuurkeo
timidly. "mm If these cookie* might take
* fuU1 prize. Got 'em down to a set
erne, Ethan Toll says, when 1 give
hUii one to tuste.
"Won't jou hiva a cookie. Miss
Meredith7" Marta leaned forward In
the old rocker that was part of the
kitchen furnishings. She liked to sit
hen* cotupunlonabljr, while her coun
try liutiteMS cooked and talked.
"Why," asked the girl wouderlugly,
"hu\e you not exhibited your choice
cookies, Miss faith? You might take
the tirst prlaa."
"Speaking of the county fair, now,
wouldn't you like to go? Be a real
chiinge for you and entertalnln'. Eb.
Toll Ik going to drive over In hla big
car; going to exhibit his dogs. He's
got lots of money, Miss Meredith, an'
It wa n t all left by his pa. He's a
good lawyer."
Miss Faith tinted a faint pink, with
the embarrassment of her next sugges-
tion: Eb. has taken an awful fancy
to you—please, Miss Marta, don't be
offended. He was telling me yester-
day, when you was getting on your
hat to ride with him, what a tine
young lady you were. The old Toll
place is the nicest one In town."
Xlarta came forward to look Into
the elder woman's face. "Dear," said
Marta, Impulsively, "put tU very
nicest cookies In your prettiest basket.
I'm going to call up Mr. Toll and ask
him to let me ride with him to the
county fair—and your cookies are to
be placed there on exhibition."
"You just must Influence those
Judges to give the bluest-blue ribbon
to Miss Faith," Marta smilingly told
him. "You know they deserve the
prize."
"I'll see what I can do," the big man
promised.
"I will amuse myself," Marta told
Eb. Toll, "and find my way later to
the car, where you have parked It.
And if I should not be here at tlve,
when you are ready to return, be sure
thut I have found some oilier Hill-
towner, who has consented to take uie
home beforehand."
"t will take the cookies to the
boiith," Mr. Toll offered.
The petted dogs proved to be averse
to exhibition; their master stood trou-
bled before their howls of Indignation.
"We will have to ake them home,"
be said to Marta. "I have an Impor-
tant committee meeting to attend for
a time, in the main building. Would
you mind placing the dogs in the car?
They will wait there content."
Near the hour of five, when a cold
fall of rain made warm shelter invit-
ing, Marta sought again the blue car,
and settled herself among its cushions,
the now Joyous dogs beside her.
John Roberts, bored with his hours
of attendance upon three old, happy
relaUves. thought that he would rest
in his car until the ladies might be
ready to join him for the homeward
ride to Hllltown village.
Upon attempting to open the door
of his car he was confronted by two
growling dogs who forbade him en-
trance. John stared; then he stared
some more, though not aggressively,
for a strange young woman gazed at
him through the window of bis own car
car and asked coldly what he wanted.
John's lips curled humorously. "This
being my car," he mildly explained, "I
thought I'd like to drive It."
The young woman sat up and en-
deavored to quiet the angry animals.
"Mercy! she cried, "do you suppose
I've made a mistake In the car? It
i6 so exactly like the one I drove over
In from Hllltown—I thought I had the
right location."
John Koberts looked about. "I fancy
I see your car a bit farther down.
No occupant. Mistake quite natural,
under the circumstances."
It also seemed natural that the lone-
ly young man in a strange place should
linger to talk witfc a young woman
from the village which he had been
visiting; natural that when Marta
learned the name of his aunts that she
should decide to wait to speak with
them.
John Roberta talked of hla happy
boyhood days there—talked of his
business tn New York city—how he
had grudged thla day's idleness, how
now he was repaid and recompensed
for ail the dullness. He had not ex-
pected to say the last—Marta's blue
eyes some way compelled him. And she
told of Miss Faith, and her Joyless
life, of the rookies, and the prize thlt
■he was certain mast come to make
her friend happy. And when three
quaint old ladles came walking toward
the blue car they fonnd two smiling
young persons to welcome them.
"Why, It's Miss Meredith I" the old-
est aunt exclaimed. "Now, we must
ail ride home together."
So the blue car moved oat through
the gateway—a fine looking young
man on the front seat, a pretty girl
beside him; three old ladles chatting
together behind; at either window a
dog's watching eager face.
Poor Eb Toll I Faith's matchmaking
scheme wns to be frustrated. She waa
caressing a prise blue ribbon some time
later when a pretty young woman bent
over her shoulder. "Miss Faith," said
the young woman softly, "you will
have to teach me your skill In cook-
ing. John and I are to be married."
The man who followed Marta Into
the room smiled down at Miss Faith.

found a prise at the county fair," '■lie

FOR OUR SCHOOL
Clarence E. Gil more, formerly

the Railroad Commission of Tex-
as and chairman of that body,
who has been prominently men-
tioned as a probable candidate
for Governor, gave out a state-
ment at Austin Tuesday in which
he stated that he would not be a

Mr. Gilmore makes grateful
acknowledgement of the assur-
ances of support from many
riends. He rehrs to the impor-
tance of the office and the op-
portunities that it presents for
service to the people, but adds
that however inviting the pros-
pect, the cost of making a cam-
paign for the office < f Governor
i> so great that he is forced to
orego whatever opportunity
there may be for success, and
content himself with the pleas-
ing recollection that there are
tianv willing to place in his hand
his important trust.

AN INTERRUPTED PRAYER
The rotgro sexton of a little
church in the South was told to
get up on the roo,f and replace
some broken shingles.
He didn't like to acknowledge
that the steep slant of the roof
scared him—so h^ climed up to-
ward the l>r. ken spot cautiously
—clinging like a cat to the old
roof, which was dry and slippery.
A passer-hv called out, "Hello,
Sam! Looks like :t s t>cklish
work for yen cltmirn' toward
heaven I"
Sam looked down—relaxed his
caution for on instant and start-
ed to slide down the roof.
Loud and fervently he wo#
heard to cry: "Oh, Lawd! Save
this niggah ! Lowd—Lawd, save
dis nig—nebber mine, Lawd! My

Mesquite Cow Won
First At State Fair
Knight's Noble Duchess, 4
years <.!d. owned by Chas. E.
Gross of Dallas and Mesquite,
won first premium for cow 3
years old and under 5, in the Jer-
sey division at the State Fair of
Texas at Dallas. The same cow-
won first premium in the same
class last v:ar, but she was not
then the property of Mr. Gross,
as he bought her during that
Fair. This same cow won first
premium in her class and the
grand sweepstakes ribbon at the
Mesquite Fair. She was not
shown anywhere except at the&e
two fairs.
Mr. Gross' cattle are on his
farm a few miles south of Mes-
quite. and his plans are to move
there from Dallas in the very-
near future, just as soon, in 'fact,
as some improvements can be
made to the residence on the
farm.
He will of course, continue his
work as County Auditor of Dal-
las county, going back and forth
in his car.

I could live.
"It seemed that nothing
helped me till I heard of
Cardui and began to use it it
strengthened me and, at 'twas
recommended to do, It regu-
lated and built me up till I
was like another woman."
