BSCRIBED
^UftUQ, k/s quota of the Lib-
erty Loan was fully subscribed
:n tha £aai count, which brings
old Matagorda county to the
front. There was touch interest
manifested in tho loan all over
the coqnty and the people came
to the front with their cash,
which signifies that they are be-
hind their boys who are now
fighting, or preparing to fight,
in the trenches.
The quota for the county was
$125,000, a large amount when
the county's population is taken
into consideration.
Reports from the different
banks are as follows:
First State Bank,Bay City $17,000

UGH! CALOMEL MAKES

You're bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and believe you need
vile, dangerous calomel to start
your liver and clean your
bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask
your druggist for a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone and take
a spoonful tonight. If it doesn't
start your liver and straighten
you right up better than calomel
and "Without griping or making
you sick I want you to go back
*to the store and get your money.
Take calomel today „and to-
morrow you will feel weak and
aick and nauseated. Don't lose
a day's work. Take a spoonful
of harmless, vegetable Dodson's
Liver Tone tonight and wake up
feeling great. It's perfectly
harmless, so give it to your chil-
dren any time. It can't sali-
vate, so let them eat anything
afterwards.

MASS MEETING TUESDAY.
i *
V ^
John E. Wolf, president of the
Board of Trade, calls a mass
meeting of all citizens who are
interested- in Palacios, to as-
semble at the LaBelle Theater
Tuesday evening, November 6,
for the purpose of discussing
ways and means for the enter-
tainment of the Texas Editorial
Association, to be in this city the
week of December 3.
This meet has been extensively
advertised by members of the
Association, and those who hope
to some day be members, and
will continue tu receive all pos-
sible publicity until they arrive
on the ground. That the pub-
licity Palacios is now receiving
shall not die with their departure
is the aim of the Beard of Trade
and all loyal eitizeus, and the
purpose of the mass meeting is
to arouse the enthusiasm neces-
sary to make it the unqualified
success it should be and to bring
home the realization of what
failure will mean.
The members 01' the Texas
Editorial Association have been
in the newspaper harness thirty
years and over. ' They know
how to boost thf towns that
show thsro good times: They
also know that silence regarding
their entertainment is a direct
knock to the town in which they
met. Thus, if their week with
us is what it should be, and no
doubt will be, Palacios will re-
ceive publicity which'could not
be bought with money.
Let every citizen be present at
the LaBelle Theater Tuesday
evening,
o'clock.

The Opportunity of a Life Time
There never was a time when there were more or bettei chances for a man to own his own
farm or home than now. Cotton high in price and land at a bargain—just the very time tu
take advantage of both. People who have never owned their farm or home ought to pay for
a place easy enough. It wont be this way always.
The Perry Realty Company
Faiaciosy Texas
Have some mighty good bargains. See us at once or write and tell us what you want. We
have lands in all size tracts, from 5 acres up. Also town property. List your property with
us at once if you want to sell or trade it.. We write fire insurance, property and automobile;
also do Notary Public work. Don't buy until you see us—we are the oldest firm here and have
a good line of bargains. Bring us a sample for display of anything you have grown. If you
have a farm for rent tell us about it. at once.
Pledge Caid Campaign,
The.following extracts from the
letter of Federal Food Admin-
istrator for Texas, E. A. Peden,
to Mrs. Jno. T. Price of this city,
is self explanatory. The com-
mittee in charge of" the Pledge" *
Card Campaign is doing all
within its power to secure names
to the pledge cards and are
meeting with gralif.ving success.
It is a patriotic duty to govern
ourselves along the lines laid
down by the Federal Food
Administration, and it will be
surprising if every housewife,
cook and householder fails to
pledge themselves to conserve
our food supply and to eliminate
all possible waste.
"I am relying on your help,
and the help of several other
thousand Texans enlisted in,this
Pledge Card Campaign, to place
the name of the "Lone Star
State" at the head of the list in
the matter of the percentage of
our women who take the pledge;
but with all this spirit of friendly
rivalry, we are not forgetting,
and we must not forget, the un-
derlying principles for which we
work. Our Uncle Sam, which
means all of us, has madfe a
promise. He promised France
and our other Allies that if they
would fight, we would furnish
them with food and supplies.
They have fought, and are fight-
ing, our fight, as well as theirs;
we must make good our part of
the bargain.
When this day of war is over,
when-Peace comes, and th^ brok-
en regiments of our victorious
armies march home, shall we—
any, one of us—be content if we
withheld anything lhat would
have replaced one missing
"mother's son" in any ore of
those broken regiments? ' '
Sincerely yours,
E, A. Peden,
Federal Food Administrator for
Texas.
