evening at Tettle Polk park:
I - (, IM17.7*
4 It now appears that the Commissioners' Court of Bell
County at the June Term, 1921, passed an order* by which
they attempted to allow the sheriff to charge the expense of
operating his car to the expense of his office, and this is to
advise the people of Bell County that the Commissioners'
Court had no right to pass any such order.
' In the case of Harris County against Hammond, reported
In 203 Southwestern, page 449, which involved the right of
Hammond, as sheriff of Harris County, to charge for gasoline
and repairs to his car, our Court of Civil Appeals for the*
Galveston District says:
"By the sixth assignment of error appellant (Harris Coun-
ty) complains of the judgment of the trial court (district
court) allowing defendant (Hammond) credit, ai necessary
expense incurred in the conduct of his office, the sum of
$1,138.86 paid for gasoline and repairs for automobiles owned
and used by defendant in performing the duties of his office.
The evidence shows that these automobiles were used by the
defendant to some extent in attending to his private business
and social affairs, but the greater portion of their use was in
performing the duties of h.is office. There is no evidence show-
ing what portion of the amount claimed was expended for gaso-
line for the automobiles when they were used In the perform-
ance of the duties of the office. It goes without saying that
defendant was not entitled to credit for the expense of operat-
ing the automobiles for his private benefit or pleasure. We
are further of opinion that, even when he used the automo-
biles in performing the duties of his office, the expenses of
their operation should not be regarded as expense necessarily
incurred in the conduct of the office. IT WOULD HARDLY
BE CONTENDED THAT A SHERIFF COULD CHARGE HIS
OFFICE WITH FEED FOR HIS HORSE OR THE UPKEEP
AND REPAIRS OF HIS BUGGY, THOUGH HE OFTEN USES
BOTH IN CARRYING ON THE BUSINESS OF HIS OFFICE,
AND THERE CAN BE NO DIFFERENCE IN THIS RESPECT
BETWEEN THE FEED FOR A HORSE AND CARE AND
REPAIRS FOR A BUGGY AND THE EXPENSE OF OPERAT-
ING AN AUTOMOBILE."
The above opinion was rendered in 1918 and is the law to-
day, and it thus appears that the Commissioners' Court of Bell
County has passed an order which. Is not authorized by law.

POSSIBLE MOTIVE FOR
BRUTAL CRIME DISCLOSED
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Peoria, 111., July 20.—Searching for
a hidden will, believed to have been
secreted In the Isolated O. Harris
homestead, near Mackinaw, has been
disclosed as & possible motive for the
brutal murder last week of Sue Har-
ris, 62, who was clubbed to death by
four masked men In her home.
Investigators have learned that the
wilt—a strange document apparently
written as the climax to an extended
family feud—is missing. A theory Is
advanced that one of the robbers, un-
nerved when one of their member's
mask waa torn from his face during
the fight with Mlsa Harris, murdered
her to prevent Identification. There
is every Indication, officers say, that
the robbers knew the lay of the land
around the house, as It Is no longer
believed that the robbers were In
quest of hidden gold.

HOW long would your
motor run without a drop
of oil? Just a few minutes and
it's all over.
The oil you use keeps it
running—-and the better the
oil, the better for the motor
and the longer its life.
Texaco Motor oil is clean
and clear and pure. You can see
for yourself that it's free from
carbon-forming impurities.
Grade for grade —(light,
medium, heavy or extra heavy)
—Texaco Motor oil is heavier
bodied and is right and stays
right for thorough lubrication.
Do this:
1. Drain out that old oil
2. Fill with Texaco Motor oil
3. Then see the difference!

A WELL-COOKED'
STEAK
Certainly does depend
upon the quality of the
cooking fat that you use.
The really rich taste of the
meat is what you want to
bring out, and that's why
I recommend Mrs. Tuck-
er's Shortening. It is
purely vegetable, just rich
enough, and is absolutely
tasteless. A steak cooked
in this fat (broiled or fried)
has all its natural flavor.
