SHERIFF LASSOES FULL
GROWN MOUNTAIN LIONS
Raymondvilk, Texas, April 8.—
Sheriff L. D. Snow and Game Commis-
sioner Robert Snow Sunday morning
lassoed two full-grown mountain lions
on the Kink Ranch and brought them
safely into Raymondviile in a truck.
The Sheriff, who has killed thirty-
four lions, said that he “got such a
kick” out of the experience that he
never intends to shoot another lion,
bat capture them alive from now on.
These were the first full-grown lions
ev$r captured alive in Willacy or Ken-
edy counties, old residents say.
Others who participated in the
chase were Game Wardens Coffee of
Brownsville and Ridgeway of Corpus
Christi. Eight hounds constituted the
pack.
It takes a ton of pennies to make
83,000.
AN EXHILARATING EFFECT
A bottle of Herbine on the shelf at
home is like having a doctor in the house
all the time. It gives instant relief when
the digestion gets out of order or the
bowels fail to act. One or two doses is
all that is necessary to start things mov-
ing and restore that fine feeling of exhil-
aration and buoyancy of spirits which be-
lotgs^only to perfect health. Price 60c.

those working on the inside. It has
changed the looks and now on enter-

force and does not have to ask where
to find an employee. §
Old Mother Nature is very gener-
ous to her children in most all things
and if they will come to her In time
and in the right spirit she stands
ready and willing to bind up their
wounds and soothe their sorrows. But
there is one thing that Nature will
not do nor never has done for any
living man and that is to give him a
second coat of hair for hia head. Na-
ture says to the man who comes to
her begging for a few ounces of hair
for a bald head: “Dear Sir, you had
just as well ask me to change your
self as to ask me to restore the hair
on that bald head of yours. There are
some things that I have in abundance
and will lavish upon my children
when they come and ask for it, but
when it comes to hair our stock is
limited and we give no man, let him
be prince or peasant, a second con-
signment.” -
The supply of human head vegeta-
tion has never been equal to the de-
mand and unless there is some substi-
tute found to tske its place I’m afraid
the shortage will last till Gabriel
toots his horn and proclaims that
there is no more. The Bible says that
the hairs of the head are numbered,
which goes to show that head hair has
always been a scarce article.
When it comes to the hair on a
fellow’s head or his whiskers Nature
never changes her plans, for if she
could have been coaxed into changing
her plans, Bob Walker and I both
would have had flowing beards when
we were but fifteen years old. It was
in the spring of 1879, while chopping
cotton, that Bob and I decided to
quit farming and make highway rob-
bers, and in order to disguise our-
selves and shroud our identity in deep-
est mystery, we each decided to grow

Wadsworth, Ohio—“Got a match?
A simple request easily complied
with, but not so prosaic is the story
of the making of the wood sliver with
inflammable tip.
The match starts its journey to
somebody’s vest pocket in a towering
pine forest, hundreds of miles away
from the final center of manufacture.
Forests, railroads and sawmills are
owned by the match companies, which
have great factories here.
One company owns a great tract of
timber in the Couer d’Alene moun-
tains of Idaho. A company railroad,
24 miles long, takes the logs to the
main line of the Spokane Internation-
al railroad, whieh hauls them to
Coeur d’Alene Lake, where they are
put into booms and towed to the com-
pany’s sawmills on the Spokane riv-
er.
The logs are sawed into two-inch
planks and seasoned for a year or 18
months. When ready for use, they are
sent to the company’s block plant at
Spokane. Selected lumber there is cut
into blocks 2 3-8 inches long, which
is the exact length of a match. The
blocks are sent to the factory here, a
2,000 mile journey.
The first manufacturing step is to
feed the blocks into a match machine
which cuts them up and forces the
sticks into holes in an iron plate, hold-
ing 600 sticks.
Over sprigs and brushes the plates
are carried and all the weak and im-
perfect ones are automatically culled.
Next comes treatment by paraffin
and chemicals. Then the first compo-
sition is put on the head. The sticks
pass over a roller, which turns in a
box containing the composition. The
ignition tip is applied the same way.
The use of phosphorus as an active
ingredient in match making was
barred by congressional act in 1913.
The poisonous phosphorus used to af-
fect the bones and jaws of workers.
Eesqui-aulphide of phosphorus now is
used, which is non-poisonous..

ACCIDENT AT GATESVILLB
Gatesville, April 9.—Whie crossing
the street near the Methodist church
Sunday, Miss Vivian Grant was struck
by an automobile, knocked down and
badly bruised but bot seriously in-
jured. It was raining at the time and
she did not see the car coming, neith-
er did the driver see her until it was
too late to avoid the accident.
“Magic Hair Restorer,” and the
price of it was within the reach of
all, as a trial order cost but a quar-
ter of a dollar, which was sufficient
to grow whiskers a foot long.. Bob

we would invest a quarter each in

You need to know only a few of
the exclusive superiorities
offered by today’s Pontiac Six to
understand that its sensational
success is based on sensational
value. It is the lowest priced six
in the world with body by Fisher.
D k [wut priced six offering
the G-M-R cylinder head, the

Add to these evident advantages
in design the fact that it is the

why Pontiac Six sales are con-
tinually reaching
breaking heights!
