THK FANDANGLK Friday and

great—probably the best of the
four annual productions thus far
given. Attendance was the largest
thus far, more than l,K00 people
seeing the show. And last, but not
least, the gate receipts were very
good $1,350. This money goes
to pay for producing the show ami

RUSSIA AND GERMANY ARE
SURE ON THE BATTLE LINE
Heavy losses reported on the
battle line. That line is something
like 2,000 miles long from the

Kke the Russians are holding their

GOOD GAS WELL FOR ALBANY
AREA
A good well for thi^ area on 1111
Byron Klliott fee, Sec. ! , Blind i
Asylum survey, about <i mile
aouth of Albany. Has picked up a
splendid gas well at about 2.XOO
feet. The pressure is so strong,
that it is hard to keep the tools in ;
the hole. Looks 1 ikt• they have
started something down there
south of Albany. They have about
30> wells lit the foot of Greer
Mountains on the old llroyle sui -
fey. Those wells average about 50
karrcls a well. It looks like th
•Id Cook pool is coming back. They
tavr already taken about 15,000,
•00 barrels out of that pool.

WELL, IS ALBANY GOING TO
BE A CATTLE TOWN OR A
WOOD YARD
If something is not done, Albany
i going to he a cord wood town
instead of a cow town They will
come to town with a load of wood
and sit around all day. That will be
about the end of it. F. W. Alcxan
! der of Diamond lianch says the
I mesquite tree can he killed for
$1.50 to $2.00 per acre. G o out
and look his ranch over. It was
once heavily timbered and now
the trees have been killed. Why
can't we have some kind of con-
certed effort in ridding our pas-
tures of the mesquite trees. If the
mesquite tree is not killed we will
develop into cord wood and fence
post town. Goodbye white faced
cattle.

PRICES UP
—o—
Buyer, of Albany, a- well a
everywhere in the country, are
realizing that the old World War
I "H. C. L." is with u< again. For
those of the newer generation, "II
C. I, " mean "High Cost of l.i\
ing."
To take care of higher cost of
operation- the tailor shops ef Al-
bany are announcing advan e in
j price - in thi- week' i:: in of t he
I New Chemical . fluid , o it

some instance- doubl• 11ir, and the
hops found it ary to iaise

THK ENT1RK CITY, it seems,
did everything to aid Director 1(
K Nail produce the show. Not
only did members of the cast work
long hours in rehearsals, but .cores
of other residents gave their time
and energy building sets, putting
up the mesquite brush, getting
wagon-, horses and longhorns, and
the many, many other items need-
ed. When an entire community
turns out to help with a show, you
can bet there's something to il.
THK SHOW GROWS year by
year. Albany hopes to have the
[•'ort Griffin Fandangle in an am
phitheatre at old Fort Griffin in
l!M2. It is expected that the
amphitheatre will -eat more than
2,0110 people when completed, and,
judging from the growth ill inter-
est in the historical pageant, 2,000
.-eats will not he too many.
All the te-
mitted in a

lawyers for

from out-of-town were here to see
the show, and all w. talked to were
delighted. "How can a little city
like Albany give -uch a show," one
man commented. "It'.- a sho'.v
put on by home-town people, hu
it is strictly not amateurish," com
inented another. "Where did AI
bany get and keep a man of Bobby
Nail's talents," said till another.
Suffice it to he aid that the show

A noted Texas criminal lawyer
was defending a man accused of
stealing an automobile.
"This boy", the prespiring advo-
cate said in conclusion, "is as inno-
cent as a new-born babe; he is as
pure as the dewdrop that sparkles
at morn on the petals of a rose."
While the jury was deliberating,
the attorney went over to his hotel
room to put on a fresh shirt and
when he felt for his watch, he re-
membered that he had put it on the
table in court so he would not
speak beyond his allotted time.
Hurrying back to the courtroom,
he found only two or three specta
tor- and the only man inside the
rail wa his client and the watch
wasn't there.
The lawyer said, "Bill, you thiev
ing hlankety-blank, give me my
watch!"
(A a matter of fact, the attor-
ney'. partner had taken charge of
the time-piece).

The judge told the
both sides:
"There will be no time limit for
argument; each lawyer ran talk as
long as he wishes."
One attorney, noted for his
booming voice and hi- liking for
speech-making, said:
"From here on, it'- a battle rtf
wits."
"You're half right," murmured
