Eighty teams are now used on
the interurban work, and the
work is to be fast and furious
from now on. The Katy spur
to be used in placing material on
the ground is completed, and in
a few days the material will be-
gin to arrive. With the excep-
tion of possibly two cases, the
right-of-way matters have been
settled.

This is Just the proper loca-
tion for a lake and picnic ground
on the Dallas-Waxahachie inter-
urban line and it is not too early
to plan same and make announce-
ment of the spot. In the putting
through of the Fort Worth inter,
urban, we have been told that
the people of Arlington were a
“penny wise and pound foolish”
m regard to this matter and the
lake and resort which might have
been located there went J just a
little beyond. This is a good
subject for our commercial/club
to consider. •

T. U. ladies is not “the cup that
cheers,” even if the Doctor does
feel good over it.—Dallas News.
The News editor seems to for-
get that there is a cup that
“cheers but does not inebriate,”
and thus the ladies ot the W. C.
T. U. could give Dr. Rankin the
“cup that cheers,” the News1
“Presumably,” to the contrary
notwithstanding.
O^tr advertising columns are
intensely interesting this week,
as they have been for several
weeks. Our merchants, realiz-
ing the fact that nearly everyone
from thih section attends the
fair, and have a desire to be well
attired, have their well selected
stocks In readiness and let the
fact be known and the result is
that the people from this com-
munity and from miles around
go to.the fair in handsome suits,
stylish hats and correct shoes
and all the necessary accessories
for a correct toilet, for men, wo-
men and children which have

been purchased in Lancaster.
Lancaster merchants gladly wel-
come fair time, while less pro-
gressive merchants in other
towns bewail the fact that the
cheap rates give the people $n
opportunity to go to Dallas to do
th<£ir fall baying^ The fault is
with the merchants. they
will put in good first-class stocks
and make Readable announce-
ment of .the fact they will not
only sell to home people, but will
sell tp Dallas people as well, as
our prices are mutfhnolt * reas-
onable than city prices and style

ising how many hats and tai-
lored suits our merchants have
sold to city people this year

Ellis County has appropriated
$$00 for agricultural demonstra-
tion work. The United States
government wiil contribute a like
amount which will be used to
pay an expert to superintend the
agricultural farm. Other farms
to be established in the
nty. As we have stated be-
fore, we belieye in these farms,
and we further believe that Lan-
caster is a logical point for es-
tablishing one. How about it?
The Texas Industrial Con-
'jgt^ss gives out# the following:
,“Reports received by the Texas
Industrial Congress from eighty
nine counties^i» the state amoly
justify its work during the pres-
ent year in advocating the adop-
tion ot better cultural methods.
Notwithstanding an unfavorable
season and the prolonged drouth
the combined average yield, (es-
timated), of corn per acre raised
•' by contestants for tbp prizes off-
ered by the Congress, is 31 bush-
els, and an estimated average
yield of 58-100 balps of cotton per
’acre. It is of course impossible
for us eyento approximate the
average of the state butr it
{Is not probable that the corn
crop will average over 15 bushels
and cottpnQYer 1-3 bale per
acre. The Congress will hold
its third convention in
days, as soon as the winners of
PTfces cai^-bs- as-
certained. : /
The State Fair of Texas will
open tomorrow morning. The
fifst day/is always given to the
children, and as soon as the
gates open they commence toen-
.ter,''a jolly, noisy crowd. We
expect to be among the first to
enter, and will have a nice little
brood of children with us. be-
t * ___
sides our own little one. The
day will be given entirely to the
children; we will enjoy all the
amusements suited to boys and
i
girls from 8 to 12 years old, but
that is not all we will do. We
will visit every exhibit ot special
interest to the children, the taxi-
dermists, anthropological; inclu-
*»*. .
ding the petrified tree, the childs
welfare. We’llpee the pictures,
needlework, fruits; the model
school house, the poultry add the
live stock. Possibly we will not
spend much time in the music
hall for the noise is too great for
a dood hearing. In the main ex-
hibition ball we will visit all the
exhibits and bring borne all the
souyenirs our school bags will
carry. Under the Elks’ arch we
will see the naval exhibit, and oh
such a full day as we will spend.
Our h^ads will buzz with the in-
formation we have gathered and
our feet will ache from the much
walking, but it is worth it. For
two years we have chaperoned a
crowd of seven to ten children,
and they have voted it mnch nic-
er than being turned loose with
no idea of what to do but eat,
grjnk and ride. Try our plan;
^•tch the children that the fair
is not only a place of amusement,
but a great educational institu-
tion. Incidentally you may get
your own eyes open to its full
ytorth.

Good Baking Hinges Upon Good Flour!
Of course a poor or indifferenl baker can ruin the
best flour; but the best baker born cannot make good
bread out of bad flour. Combine the two—proficient
baker and LANCASTER FLOUR, and smile with
satisfaction over the result. . . . All this applies,
equally well you may be sure, to pies, cakes and all
sorts of .pastry. .• 7 /. ,
