A movement which has already at-
tracted considerable attention and
which has resulted in the banking of
initial funds, has for its purpose the
purchase of War Bonds for wounded
veterans of this war.
John C. Solomon, Pastor of First
Presbyterian Church, started the
movement in consultation with others
when on the day of invasion of
France, a collection was taken at the
church with contributions from peo-
ple who went to the church to pray.
These funds have been deposited
and will be used to buy bonds for re-
turning wounded veterans whose need
appear greatest. It is proposed to
have a committee to award these
bonds.
It is noted that such a move has
been started in other places. Right
now during the 5th War Loan an ap-
peal is made. If you cannot buy a
bond you can buy stamps which can
be converted into bonds, or you can
give money, little or much.
Cameron banks and Cameron news-
papers have been asked to receive
contributions. The movement has
two worthy objectives: Veterans will
receive some token of appreciation
from men and women who appreciate
their sacrifices and the purchase of
bonds and stamps will aid the war
effort.
W. E. Braden Back
From San Diego on
Leave From Duty
W. E. Braden, better known to his
friends here as Speedy Braden, is
home from San Diego, where he is
serving in the navy.
Speedy picked up the name from
the old days when he was a ring
favorite here. Speedy says that there
are some 19 Milam county boys in his
outfit and Texans galore. It is cer-
tain, he says that Texas is writing a
great history in this war. “Why,
when they find out we are from Tex-
as, they treat us a lot better,’’ said
Braden.
He was inducted in May and is
home to visit his wife for the first
time since he reported for duty.
OLD PAPERS VITAL
TO WAR EFFORT
Since old newspapers, magazines,
card board and rags are needed more
than ever before in the piosecution if
the war, the Lions Club will
collect every other Wednesday.
Paper should be bound in stacks.
Lion trucks will make pickup from 6
p. m. until 9 p. m.
The co-operation of every citizen is
needed. The first pickup will be made
Wednesday afternoon, June 28.

Last Day to Purchase
Motor Vehicle Stamp
Saturday, July 1, is the last date to
buy your Motor Vehicle Tax Stamp
and after that date a penalty will
attack.
Wm. J. Ott, Deputy Collector of
Internal Revenue, with offices in
Cameron, has requested The Herald
to make an appeal to car and truck
owners. Very few stamps have been
purchased at the local postofficc.
A thorough check up will be made
by the lateral Revenue Department
soon to determine if stamps have been
placed on cars. The law provides
these stamps must be pasted on wind-
shields of cars.
Only $5 stamps will be sold at the
postoffice. Any other stamp which
are used for fractional parts of the
year when the vehicle is in operation
must be purchased through the local
revenue agent.
Republicans Making
Another 1920 Bid to
Wreck World Peace
The Republican Party was well on
its way Tuesday to reiterate its stand
of 1920 when it wrecked world peace
and laid the foundations for World
War No. 2 by repudiating responsibi-
lity and adopting a quasi-isolation-
ism.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York,
will be th*e nominee for President. He
has the required number of votes.
Congressman Joe Martin was nam-
ed Chairman of the Convention. His
address was an ignorant monstrosity,
an appeal to the people to turn their
backs on world progress and become
isolated from the world.
This morning Wendell Willkie in
New York denounced the Foreign
Policy Plank in the Republican plat-
form as another 1920 stand. On the
night that Persident Harding was
elected he declared the League of
Nations dead.
A heat wave had struck Chicago.
Fat politicians were being rendered
rapidly and one had already died.
Ffc. Virgil Kiik of McCloskey Hos-
pital is home on a thirty day furlough
after being over seas for two yeais.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. M.
Kirk of Milano.

chairman, met the stars at the city
limits and escorted them in, riding in
a state police squad car which was
preceded by a truck with siren from

while the stars got their lunch and
autographed pictures for admiring
fans.
The Peter Company supplied a
large truck on which a piano was
pluccd together with a canopy to pro-
tect the officials and the , urn from
the sun.
