“It seems there was a man and a maid who were walk-

The man asked the maid if she would like to eat. She
said she was not a bit hungry—BUT-—she would love a
cool, refreshing soda at Timpson Pharmacy.” Where
else?

Cotton to Aid Cotton
Information developed at
the cotton co-operative show at themselves,
for half a million additional
bales a year. Such an increase
in the demand would undoubt-
edly raise the price several dol-
lars a bale. Of course, the use
of cotton bagging for cotton
bales alone would not create
all this new demand. The
point is that it would do its ing for Ruby; because of
share, and a very considerable
share amounting to some 50,-
000 bales. And it would be

year will provide an additional
market for thousands of bales
of cotton. Sales of 2,000,000
cotton bags to orange growers
for packaging fruit were re-
ported. Pecan marketing as-
sociations are using cotton-
lined bags. Other agricultur-
al marketing associations are
joining in the movement.
All of these new uses will
help cotton growers to obtain a
wider market and a better
price for their product. It
would be cheering news If It
could be reported that cotton
growers themselves were tak-
ing the lead in the movement
by demanding cotton bags and
wrappings for products which
they themselves sell or buy.

The chief stumbling block in
the way of substitution of cot-

A CITY THAT DARES, DOES
Few of us realize the big
things we can do until we try.
It is better to try and fail a
dozen times than to make no
effort at all. From attempt
comes growth even though the
attempt results in failure. The
whole development of oar lives
lies in attempting things the
outcome of whicb is uncertain.
What is true of individuals is
likewise true of towns. The
town that makes progress and
jute in forges ahead is the town that
pro- has the courage to launch out
One whole and try new ventures. These
~ may fail again and again, but
if the people of the town have
the courage to keep on trying,
some day success will come.
The child is afraid of his first
somersault, until he flops over;
after that it is easy. The man
who continues to linger in the
valley because- the mountains
look high, never comes to know
the joy of scaling the peaks.
The world belongs to the man
who dares.
The same spirit that makes a
man a winner will make a town
a winner and give it the name
of being a live town. *
The secret of a town’s prog-
ress is to keep on trying.—

iish peas, 15 pounds lettuce,
lOJ/i pounds beets, one-fourth
pound radishes, and 20 Vi
pounds spinach. The family
has not been able to use all the
spinach so she has canned nine
quarts of it. She has 17 varie-
ties of vegetables in her gar-
den. Ruby says, “Gardening is
lots of fun because you have
something for the table that is
your own for the family to eat,
and then if you keep a record
It Is more fun because you will
work all the harder to have
something good to put in your
record book and you know just
how much you have done and
what results you have had.”
The seed for Ruby’s garden
cost her $1.30 and she has
worked 19 hours, which, count-
ing her time at 25 cents per
hour, makes her garden cost
her $5.95. The nine quarts of
spinach canned are valued at
$2.25, and in addition she has
had all the fresh vegetables
for the table that they have
used.
It has not all been easy go-

Laredo.—Without benefit of
irrigation, onions on dry but
terraced land at Encinal pro-
duced 29b crates per acre for
I. A. Krueger, while the aver-
age dry land onions in Webb
county made 187 crates per
acre. It would be unfair to
attribute this excellent yield
entirely to terracing, in the
opinion of N. W. Jones, county
agent, because a combination
of circumstances including ter-
racing, 'careful preparation,
cultivation and manuring all
contributed. Onion acreage on
dry lard forms a very small
percentage of the whole in
Webb county, Mr. Jones says,
but is gradually increasing.
There were about 100 acres
grown without irrigation there
last season.

*Yom Friday's Daily.
The farm home of Mr. and
Mrs. Ottis Stilley, located
about two miles northwest of
town on the Timpson and Hen-
derson highway, was destroyed
by fire at 12:30 o’clock Thurs-
day morning. All household
furnishings, with tbi exception
of a bed and sewing machine,
was completely destroyed. Four
hundred cans of fruits and
vegetables were also consumed
by the flames.
Members of the family did
not awaken until the flames
were burning over their beads
in the sleeping room, and
barely had time to escape, but
managed to take a sewing ma-
chine and bed with them as
they ran from the building.
The blowing of an automo-
bile horn and noise caused by
the bursting of the cans, is said
to have awakened the sleeping
occupants.
The fire originated in a
small room adjoining the sleep-
ing porch, which was filled
with the .canned fruits and
vegetables, presumably being
started by rats.
The loss falls heavily on
these good people, as no insur-
ance was carried on any of the
property.

tack them. Prevent .constipa-
tion and you will avoid nine-

Wine Pool is Killed
By Elnctric Shock
Milwaukee, W»-> Aug. 14.—
Mrs. Helen Vasilzevie, 39,
stood in a pool of wine which
formed ip the basement of hell
home last night when it was
dumped there by federal pro-
hibition agents. Then sbe
reached up, touched a defective
electric cord and was electro-
cuted.
Authorities presumed Mrs.
Vasilzevie was engaged in
cleaning the basement after
the agents had left. Her hus-
band, taken into custody on a
prohibition law charge, was un-
aware of her death for several
hours. A six-year-old son and
a boarder found the body, the
receipt left by the agents for
confiscated articles still clutch-,
ed in her hand.
Coroner Henry Grundman
said there would be an inquest
at which W. Frank Cunning-
ham, deputy federal prohibi-
tion director, and federal
agents would be asked to testi-
fy. The facts uncovered, he
said, would be presenetd to the
district attorney.
