OUR FLOUR IS THE FAIRY
that turns just ordinary
bakers into experts. With-
out any more care, any
more trouble, a sack of our
flour in the home results in
better bread, better biscuits
and better cakes, etc., on
the table. Why not try a
sack and enjoy the change?

Mrs. J. C. Valentine, after
selling her commodious home to
Mr. J. A. Shapard, left for Hous-
ton Wednesday, accompanied by
a daughter and children, Mrs.
Harry Kitcher, who have recent-
ly been her guests. The years
have passed and with them Mrs.
Valentine has witnessed the
changes that must according to
the natural order of things occur
—yet of all who come and go, to
those who know and love her
best, her departure causes the
most genuine regret, while con-
ditions have so shaped them-
selves that she is persuaded to
spend a larger, yet less active
life among her children, we
mingle with our good wishes a
cherished hope that her interests

here may induce her to return to

it is easiest to go that way.
If ydur eyes become disor-

take the trouble right in the
beginning because they will
continue to grow worse un-
til the cause is removed.

The feature of The Reporter’s
big automobile and piano contest
this week is the heavy reserve
vote that is evident. The con-
testants have all been busy the
past week—as busy as bees, yet
the vote polled seems to be light
—in fact is light compared to
previous weeks. There are a
number of changes in the stand-
ing of the contestants as shown
below. But as stated once be-
fore, there is no telling when
some contestant may come up
from behind by polling her re-
serve.
The standing below shows the
count of Saturday night, 29th.
In the special premium vote offer
which expired that night the
winners were as follows:

In District No. 4, the territory
south of the I. & G. N., not a
single candidate qualified. This
gives the other contestants in
other sections of the county am-
ple notice that if that territory
is worked they will have to work
it, and already they are begin-
ning to get busy in that district.
