The fact that he took too
much advice from a woman
secretary seems to be respon-
sible for most of the troubles
of Governor Johnston of Ok
lahoma. Women shine in many

clear of all liens, claims, interest,
rights, titles or demands of de-

that on Dec-mber 31st, 1928, the
plaintiff wa» the owner of proper-
ty at the S. corner of Swiss Ave,
and Hawkins Street, being Lot 4
in Block 279% according to the

Prison System Is
In Bad Condition
Houston, Texas, Jan. 26—
Weary after a long day of
plowing through East Texas
mud roads, forty-two members
of the legislature, fourteen oi
the house prisons committee
and eighteen members of the
senate body, returned to Hous .
ton after an inspection of the
main state prison plant at
Huntsville and several state
farms in that vicinity-
None of the legislators
would discuss what they had
seen during the day, but it wa-»
gathered from casual conver-
sation^ that they had been im-
pressed with the necessity of
sor e action to correct condi-
ti-/ s found.
\t Huntsville the legislators
were conducted through the
big walled plant by Assistan.
Warden A. T. Chenault.
One of the senators ex
pressed amazement at the
conditions both at the peniten-
tiary and at the farms visited.
He said, "we might as well get
ready to do something. This
can't continue." He refused
however, to permit use of his
name.
The legislators visited the
Ferguson, Eastham and Goree
fair s near Huntsville. At the
Go.ee farm, where some ninety
women prisoners are confined,
the c immittee were taken over
the farm by G. F. Reid, superin
tendent.
Rei.i told the legislators
that the women, thirty of
who ii are white, badly needed
additional recreational facilil
ties \*eed of a stronger fence'
around the farm so that the
won en may be safely given
the run of the place was? espec
tally stressed.
During the visit the "walls"
exercises were held in thf
prison chapel, at which the
chaplain, Rev. W. E. Midler,
made a plea for more lenienc\
in allowing paroles for good
behavior
Senator W. D. McFarlane.
chairman of the senate com-
mittee, in a talk to the convicts
told them that the legislators
had come to learn what could
be done for the benefit of the
prisoners to make them better
citizens.
J. C. RUGEL
In the untimely death of J.
C. Rugel, Mesqu'te, Dallas
County and the State of Texas
have suffered an irreparable
loss. Coming to this section
when Mesquite was but i
frontier village and the coun-
try undeveloped. Mr. Rugel
has from that very day been
actively identified to every
movement for the betterment
of the agricultural, industrial,
civic, moral and spiritual de-
velopment of this section. His
interests have not been con.
fined to this community alone
as he has rendered a valuable
and patriotic service to his
county and his State% I do not
think that I ever knew a man
so well equipped to take a lead
ing part in all movements for
the public good nor one more
willing to do so I have knowt:

the utmost confidence and for
whom I cherish a very high

to all of those living or dead,
I can say in all candor that J.
C. Rugel was the best man I
ever knew. My personal loss is
great. Mr. Rugel's confidence
in and his friendship for me
was steadfast and unvarying. 1

men combined. He not only
advised me freely and wisel)

Safe Transportation
Recent reports by the A merican Museum of Safe-
ty «bow that electric railway transportation is the safest
in the world. There are good reasons for this. Electric
railways are operated by responsible companies which
assume full liability for their shortcomings. The pas-
senger is fully protected when he boards an interurban
car. Equipment is the hest th.it money can buy; train-
men are chosen carefully and adequately trained i n
their duties. Nothing is left ty chance. Safety practices
are NEVER slig t<
Along with safety , the passenger enjoys service
which is dependable; 'nt.rtable nn<tconvenient. Cour-
tesy and helpfulness by trainmen is the basis for the real
friendship that our patrons h-tve for them. Good service
is taken for granted and not <| uestioned.

I found the system inadequate,
I then took Gregg under Mr.
Gregg, of Chicago, but found
it illegible; I then took up the
Byrne Shorthand which I con-
sider the stenographic marvel
of the age."
"I first studied Pittnar.
Shorthand, then took up the
Byrne. I found the Byrne 35
per cent shorter and that it
could be written at a much
higher rate of speed, and read
like print."
"I studied Pernin Shorthand
;.'*nos night and d*. fur six
p.or—".!, but was r..V compe-
te . tu hold a posi i< \ i 'b»*i
took up the Byrne for threi
months and find I can hold
any kind of a position."
"I graduated in Graham
Shorthand, writing 100 word.i
a minute after nine months
study. After studying the
Byrne, together with Byrne
Bookkeeping, for four months,
I could write Byrne much fast-
er and regard it supgHbr to
any other system."
"After studying Byrne
Shorthand in your school two
weeks, I had a more practical
working knowledge of short
hand than I did after 27
months study of the Pitman '
"After studying six different
Pitmanic systems, I was un
able to hold an ordinary office
job but with five weeks study
of the Byrne, I went into the
District Court and did report
ing successfully, and was ap
pointed as an official Court
Stenographer."
Why study any system of
shorthand other than the
Byrne, when the Byrne can be
learned in half the time of less,
read with greater ease an.l
written at a higher rate of
speed, which means better sal-
ary and promotion? It does
not cost half as much to com-
plete a course in our school as
it does one of the other sys-
tems in other schools- We hold
the exclusive right to teach the
Byrne in Texas. Positively no
other commercial school Is
longer Permitted to teach it.

Mrs. Nancy Ann Pemberton
lrfCe, pioneer citizen of thiu
County passed away at her
home at 1011 Park View Ave.,
Dallas. January 22, 1929 at
6:30 a. m. after an illness of
over three weeks.
She was born in Mason
County, Illnois, Feb. 20, 1856.
Therefore she only liked a
few days of being 73 years old
She came to Texas, with her
widowed mother and family in
1875 and settled southeast of
Dallas on what is known as
the Kneely Bryan Springs.
They lived in and around that
community for several years.
On April 22, 1880 she was
married to J. M. Lee. Shortly
after they were marred they
bought a/ farm east of Pleasant
Grove and just north of where
Lake June is now located.
She lived at this place for
thirty three years, and was
well known in that community.
She was very kind and gentle
to the sick and she went at
all hours, day or night, through
any kind of weather when
called upon. No one ever heard
her murmur or complain. She
had a kind disposition always
willing and ready to help the
needy in any way she could.
She joined the Christian
Church when she was young
and remained a Christian to
the end.
Tbev moved to Dallas on
Sept. 28, 1922 and remained a*.

until her death.
To this union there were
seven children born, four oi
which survive. Two sons,
Isaac and Perry Lee of Mes-
quite, two daughters, Mrs.
Nettie Priddy of Nocona, and
Mrs. Viola Minx of Dallas.
Also by one brother, Lafe Pen
berton and one sister, Mra.
Betsy Aust of Nocop», and
sixteen grandchildren.
All the children were with
her during the last tw0. weeks
of her illness. Her brother
came but was unable to stay
at her bedside on account of
illness at home. But her sister
and two sons came and stayed
until the end.
