Rockdale received a jar this
Thursday. The shock was ad-
ministered by the tremendous re-
sults which have followed the
advertising of this FORCED TO
RAISE MONEY SALE.
In spite of the inclement
weather and the fact that the
Sale started the last part of the
week, the Sale started with a
rush that surprised every-
one. That it will be
one of the greatest Sales
in the history of Rockdale is no
doubt, as Rockdale people are
just as quick to respond to the
right kind of advertising as any
people on earth. The merchant

NUTRILINE STOCK FEED
THE UNDISPUTED LEADER WHERE QUALITY
IS THE PRIME CONSIDERATION.........
What to feed in order to obtain the most satisfactory results at the least
possible cost, has been and always will be one of the most important problems
confronting the feeders of live stock.
There are two very important facts that should be indelibly impressed
upon the feeder’s mind, viz: (i) That a feedstuff should be palatable; and (2)
That it should be digestible.
NUTRILINE IS BOTH
NUTRILINE is composed of first-class alfalfa meal, corn chops, cotton
seed meal, rice bran, molasses, and a small percentage of salt, so mixed that
the nutritive ratio will be in comformance with the standards laid down by the
United States Government. The fact that all of these ingredients arc easily
digestible in their natural condition is known to all feeders. Since NUTRILINE
is steam cooked, it is predigested, hence is more easily digested than it would
be in its natural condition.

NUTRILINE MILLING CO., Ltd.

BIG LUMP, TEXAS
The unprecedented rains of
the past week, totaling about 10
inches, coming on topoi a month
or more of wet we Thor has
worked havoc in the Ruckdale
lignite field. Practically every
mine in the district is experie nc-
ing more or less tro ;ble, w; ile
the Texas Coal Company’s en-
tire mine is fail of water, caused
by a cave-in similar to the one
which flooded the Voge! mine in
October.
This cave-in occurred late
Wednesday evening. The same
creek which flooded the Vogel
mine also crosses the Texas’
mine, only it is much larger
down there and the cave-in was
bigger. The entire mine was
filled with water in a short time,
rising 60 feet in the main shaft.
Fortunately none of the miners

‘I"tt EVERYWHERE sits
This is the Case With Many Rockdale
People.
Too many Rockdale citizens are
handicapped with bad backs. 1 he un-
ceasing pain causes constant misery,
making work a burden and stooping
or lifting an impossibility, the back
aches at night, preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stilt and
lame. Plasters and liniments may
give relief hut carrot reach the cause
if the kidnevs are weak To eliminate
the pains and aches »f kidney back-
ache you must cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are tor disorder-
ed kidneys. . ,,
The following statement should con-
vince every Rockdale reader of their
efficiency.
J. D. Cone, carpenter, Cameron,
Texaa, says: “There was weakness
across my back, together with pain.
The kidney secretions were irregular in
passage and highly colored, h°r st v
era! days I was obliged to lay off from
work. I was advised to get a ^
kidney remedy and I procured Doan s
Kidney Pills, *» I had heard ,hera
highly recommended They soon made
me feel better in every way. ”

were caught, all making their
way out to safety.
The Big Lump mine, the finest
lignite mine in the country, is
also suffering, though not from
any cave-in. The entire surface
of the earth is filled with water
and this water is simply seeping
into the mine. Manager A. C.
Koehler states that with big
pumps constantly at work he
hopes to keep the mine open and
avoid any damage.
The Vogel mine also came in
tor its share of trouble and again
caught some water, though the j
situation there is nothing like as
serious as last month. A washed
oat spur track and some seepage
is bothering the old Worley
mine. In fact, all the mines are
having more or less trouble, and
today (Thursday) the Interna-
Woman’s Missionary Society.1
The Society met Monday aft-
ternoon at 3 o’clock with 13 mem-
bers answering to roll call. Aft-
er the Scripture lesson the regu-
lar first Monday’s business was
taken up. It was decided that
ten dollars be sent the Orphans’
Home for the purpose of aiding
in installing a new heatingplant.
The Society voted that a recep-
tion be given in honor of the
new minister and family at an
early date in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. O. K. Phillips.
