Any one of the New ELCAR Models is such a
car as any person may be proud to own and drive, no
matter bow much additional price he might afford to
pay, and this from each of three considerations—per-
formance, endurance and appearance.
In general balance, in easy driving and easy rid-
ing qualities, ELCAR Four«pnd Six are what a motor
car ought to be. The power is abundantly ample,
the spring suspension is wonderfully efficient, the
steering is the easiest attainable, and the car holds
the road.

maries
"The way of the transgressor
is hard" is as true today as it
was when first given utterance
It is also said that the "wages of
sin is dfeath". Last Friday at
the hour of noon those sayings
were truely fulfilled. On that
day Leonard Dodd and Walter
Stevenson paid the price of their
folly with their lives. What a
sad and awful example for the
young men of our country.
These two young men were
reared in Christian homes. It
was not for lack of training on
the part of the parents; no, it
was evil association when not
under home influence. Walter
Stevenson took tbsibetter course
when he found that he was in-
deed a victim of the gallows by
calling for a minister, profess-
ing bis faith Jn Christ and be-
ing baptised for the remission
of his past sins. Who can gain-
say that Walter Stevenson did
not act in faith? As to his sal-
vation that we leave with a just
God. Dodd on the other hand
met death as he had lived.
Just before the drop Walter
Stevenson said to Leonard Dodd,
"Goodbye, old pal," and Dodd
replied,"GoodbyeSteve.". What
a sad farewell for the two young
men whose souls in a few min-
utes were to be launched into
eternity to reap the harvest of
their lives. In their 'death the
sanctity of the home was fully
demonstrated and the puri'y of
women upheld. But what a blot

man in civilian clothes was to
approach them they would cnll
the police and have him pulled
for "mashing". But a soldier—
oh, no, there is nothing wrong.
Perhaps, after it is too late, they
will find out that the soldier who
will do a thing like that is their
worst enemy and is not worthy
ty wear the uniform of these
United States. Girls, beware
of such folly. Do nothing that
you will be ashamed to tell fath-
er and mother about doing.

Nearly $9,000.00 b
Raised For Red Cross
The Mesquito territory, as
represented by the Mesquite
br tnch and its auxiliaries, was
given a quota of $6,000.00 in the
second Red Cross War Fund.
NT. t only was this amount raised,
but an additional sum of $2,867
70. The city of Dallas is a finan-
cial center and because of that,
Dallas county was given a large
quota—$505,000.00, which was
heavily oversubscribed. The re-
sult of the heavy quota for Dal
las countv gave the other towns
in this county a much larger
quota than other towns of sim-
ilar size in other counties of the
state, as we notice that towns in
other couuties considerably
larger than either Lancaster,
Garland and Mesquite were giv-
en a smaller quota.
Of the $8,807.70 raised in the
Mesquite section, $.3,028.65 was
contributed by Mesquite, includ-
in C the city proper and the ter
ri ory immediately adjacent
thereto, and the other $5,B39.05
wis contributed by the terri
tory represented by the auxil-
ia:ies. Of these, Ivleburg led
with $1,091,30. Lawson was
close second, with $1,006.20, and
Now Hope came across with
c« >1 thousand.

announce li is candidacy foi
Judge of the County Court at
Law No. 2, of Dallas countv, sub-
ject to the Democratic primary
election, July 27, KMS,
Judge Littleton was admitted
to the practice of law at Weath-
erf' "d about twenty years ago.
After practicing there for some
time he came to Dallas and for
several years was associated
with Albert S. Jackson in the
practice of law. Later ho went
to New York and engaged in the
practice with his brother, Mar-
tin W. Littleton. But he did not
like New York and he returned
to Texas and Dallas, since which
time he has been actively eng .-
ged in practice of liis profession
in that city.
Alter he became a lawyer and
while at Weather'ford, Judge
Litteton took his brother, Mar-
tin off the railroad section crew
and sent him to school, giving
him the only schooling that he
received, and it is evident that
he put the opportunity to good*
use, as it is well known that
Martin VV. Littleton is one of
the ablest lawyers and most
brilliant orators in the country.
Judge Littleton is recognized
as an able lawyer and his friends
say that he is admirably equip-
ped for tne duties of the Office to
which he aspires. His opponent
is Judge W. L. Thornton, who
was appointed to the office.

"From the time I en-

from one month to the
next; I suffered with my
back and bearing-down
pain, until life to me was
B misery. I would think

pain any longer, and I
gradually got worse. . .
Nothing seemed to help
me until, one day, . . .

Mrs. Jones goes on to
say, "and was not only
greatly relieved, but can

not a pain. . .
" It has now been two

If you sufferpaln caused

Grandma Ripple was resting on
