LOONEY SAYS NOTICES
MUST BE PUBLISHED.
1 Austin, Tex.r Juno 27. At-
torney General Looney has ad-
dressed a communication to the
county judges of every county
in the State, calling their atten-
tion to the effect of the act pass-
ed by the Thirty-Fifth Legisla-
ture, which requires the print
ing in newspapers of all legal
notices, which heretofore have
been posted. This act, it ap
pears, applies to proposed bond (
elections in which counties and
road districts arc interested. I
"I am directing this circular.
letter to the county judges of
the state so that in ordering
elections for the purpose of is-
suing bonds for the county,"
said General Looney, or for
school district 0. politlcai
subdivision thereof, they will
see to it that such notice is pub-,
hshed in a newspaper situated
in, the county or district, if a pa-
per is published in such district,
at least once each week for the
period of time now required by
statute for posting such notices.
"In view of the fact that elec-
tions are constantly being held
Lin the state by road improve
ment districts and common
scchool districts, it is of great
importance that the authorities
see to it that the provisions of
this act are adhered to." Such
each week for four consecutive
weeks.

WHISKEY MUST GO; BEER
AND WINE WILL STAY.
Washington, July 7. The
senate late today disposed of
the prohibition question1 by pass-
ing a law containing the follow-
ing provisions :
1. The use of foodstuffs in
the manufacture of whiskey is
prohibited. Nothing is said
about beer or wine.
2. No distilled liquor shall
be imported into the country
during the war.
3. The president is directed
to commandeer all liquors in
bond, and pay the owners the
actual cost, plus a profit not ex-
ceeding 10 per cent.
4. No taxes shall be levied
against the distilled spirits now
in bond.
The prohibition law Was pass-
ed by a vote of 45 to 37. It is
a victory for the "wets." The
"drys" failed after desperate
efforts to have beer and wine in-
cluded. Senator Simmons, chairman
of the senate finance committee,
calculates that the government
will lose about $670,000,000
through the law. Senator Pen-
rose says the amount will reach
$1,000,000,000. Senator Gore
says it will be far less than the
Simmons' estimate.
War Revenue Bill Recommitted.
It was necessary today to re-
commit the great $1,670,000 war
revenue bill. It will be held up
until the senate's prohibition
law has been taken through the
house. If the house sanctions
the law, it will be necessary to
remodel the whole bill and sub-
stitute other forms of revenue
for the liquor taxes.
The prohibition section as
passed today, reads:
Section 1. That from and af-
ter thirty days from the date of
the approval of this act, no per-
son shall use any foods, fruits,
food materials or feeds in the
production of distilled liquors,
except for governmental, indus-
or medicinal purposes. Nor
shall there be imported into the
United States during said war
any distilled liquors.
"Any person who willfully vi-
olates this section shall upon
conviction thereof, be punished
(ly a fine of not exceeding $5000;
,orby imprisonment for not more
than two years of both.
"Provided, that the president
'of the United States be and
hereby is directed to taKe over
for and on behalf of the govern-
ment of the United States all
! distilled liquors that are held in

The Price Remains The Same
Whithmor Waists Still $1 .00
New Styles On Sale Saturday
Its no wonder the sale of Wirthmor Waists has reached such large propor-
tions and continue? to grow at such a rapid rate. The nation over the won-
derful waists are being brought freely and frequent by women who desire to
dress well and who still believe in reasonable economy. Superior values al-
waysthe Wirthmor today towers far above all other dollar waists and many
waists costing considerably more.
Wirthmore Waists can be sold in just one
good store in every city and they are sold
here exclusively.
collection of all excise taxes on
distilled spirits in bond at the
time of passage of this act shall
be suspended so long as this act
is in force and the distiller in
the event that said distilled spir-
its shall be taken over by the
government as herein provided,
shall be discharged from all ob-
ligation for any and all taxes
levied and assessed against said
distilled spirits, provided, how-
ever, that owners of the distilled
spirits shall not withdraw any
part thereof without the pay-
ment of the excise tax in force".
Pensions for Widowed Mothers.
This law was enacted by the
Thirty-Fifth legislature and be-
came effective on June 20. To
be eligible for a pension, a moth-
er must be a widow and in desti-
tute circumstances. Children
for whom funds are allowed
must be under 16 years of age.
For one child maximum pension
of $12 per month is allowed ; for
two children $18 and for every
additional child $4.
The money for this support is
taken from the general fund of
the county. It will not consti-
tute a drain on the tax re-
sources, as it is merely spend-
ing the money in a more intelli-
gent manner than heretofore.
Instead of sending children of
widows in destitute circum-
stances to orphans' homes, the
money that would be spent on
them, while in the home is turn-
ed over to the mother for their
rearing in home surroundings,
where they will have the advan-
tage of a mother's care and the
opportunity of being at home
and educated under the guid-
ance of the mother.
For any desired information
call on the county judge.

"CLEAN UP AND
PAINT UP"
O WING into line with the sqirit of Springtime;
take a tip from old Mother Nature.
Maybe your house would look better with a coat
of paint; or possibly the fence, outbuilding or
:creens seem a little dingy in thejbright spring
sunshine. How about your floors? Are they
showing heel marks? And has some of the
furniture been scratched up?
Painting or varnishing will not only beautify, it
will make the wood last so much longer that
it's; actually cheaper to paint than not. Paint
fills the cracks and holes where germs lurk,
makes for sanitation. Spring calls for Paint.
Heed the call of Spriug!
The Best Place to Buy Paint
We have all kinds of paints, varnishes and
brushes, at the most reasonable prices. Drop
in and look them over.
