'.id... rij'titm it,SO per year in advance.
Tho line spirit of co-operation
and interest manifest among the
businessmen with preparations
for another Trades Day is more
than gratifying, especially to the
Plain Dealer.
Having experienced diliculty
in selling co-operative pages in
towns much larger than Corri-
gan, we approached this one
with fear and trembling. But,
with the assistance of our good
friend Mason .Woodard, who did
a good job pinch-hitting on our
advertising staff, all spaces were
sold and several firms were dis-
appointed. We regret the seem-
ing slight and trust we can ar-
range to handle all firms next
time.
When we first came to Corri-
gan we were told that the busi-
ness men were loyal and would
back any deserving and up-build-
ing move 100 per cent and this
convinces us that we were told
the truth.
With the drastic reductions in
prices and the entertainment for
the day, coupled with the wide
publicity, nothing short of a big
rain or freeze should hinder the
towns being crowded Saturday.
We are proud of the wonder-
ful spirit of our local business
men.
R. M. Eagle
The Plain Dealer takes pleas-
ure in calling attention to the
announcement of Mr. R. M.
Eagle of Carmona, for the office
of Representative from the dis-
trict composed of Polk and Trin-
ity counties. His statement will
he found on page one of this
issue.
Mr. Eagle is Secretary of the
Saner-Ragley Lumber Company
at Carmona and a business man
of rare judgement and ability,
fully conversant with the needs
of this section, and should the
voters of this and Trinity coun-
ties see fit to send hitn to Austin
as their representative to the
State Legislature, he will be ever
on the alert to do for this section
everything within his power.
We commend his candidacy to
your careful consideration.
What to print and what not to
print is a problem for all publi-
cations, more especially little
community papers such as ours.
We feel that purely local hap-
penings is all our readers expect
and when these are covered, and
not until then, will the weighty
problems of the outside world
have some consideration at our
hands.

le and his family all the good
hings possible in his new home
nd congratulate Editor Lunn on
laving secured the services of
ne of the brightest minds and
iest printers we have ever had
lie pleasure of knowing.
We read of crime and troubles
i every daily that is printed. It
i usually hurriedly read, follow-
:1 by such a remark as ‘what’s
iis world coming to?’ and then
irgotten.
Not until a big head line tells
f some friend or relative do we
jalize that for every misfortune
lere is some one hurt besides
ie one involved. A mother or
ife or dad or sister. Our hearts
(i out to them in tender sympa-

When this ludy was a little girl, Klec-
tricity cost twice or three times what it does today.
Service was limited and undependable. No Won-
der thinking persons agree that no money they
spend brings greater value than their money for
electric service. It is the one thing you buy that is
higher in quality and lower in price than before!
ELECTRICITY IS YOVIi CHEAPEST SERVANT
