THE AUTO-OILED AERMOTOR
With duplicate gears running in oil. The gears are
contained in a gear case which holds sufficient oil to
keep every part thoroughly oiled for a year. The gear
case is covered with a steel helmet which is rain-proof,
dust-proof and oil-tight. Not a drop of oil can escape.
It circulates constantly through every bearing while
the mill is operating. The shafts and gears run in oil.
This latest Aermotor is extremely sensitive to the
lightest breeze. It faces the wind perfectly and is more
notably than ever.
The strains are evenly balanced. Each of the
large gears has hn independent shaft, the one running
inside the other, so there is no over-hanging load on
the bearings.

Two proposals about which the
fight on the present law centered
were (1) to apportion to the districts
the money for free textbooks ami let
each district purchase its own books,
and (2) to send all books to the Coun-
ty Superintendent and have them
distributed from the county seat. The
first was rejected because it was
feared that this plan would eventu-
ally destroy State uniformity. The
plan of having county depositories
from which the County Superintend-
ents would distribute the books could
not be followed because it involved
double expense. The contracts made
with the textbook companies before
the present administration of the
Department of Education provided

up the law covering the case he could
not say how much the plaintiff could
expect to receive. Among other at-
torneys, however, the opinion was
held that in cases where damages
awarded amount to less than §50 the
costs collectible may not exceed the
judgment awarded. In this event Mr.
Ford could demand only 6c costs from
the Tribune.
M. C. BUTLER KILLED
PROBLEMS REVIEWED
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 16.—Math-
ew Calbraith Butler, 14 year old son
of the late Mjor M. C. Butler, United
States Army, who was killed in Texas
in 1916 by H. J. Spanell, was killed
yesterday afternoon at Beersheba
Springs while playing baseball. He
was hit over the heart by a ball.
(Waco Times-Herald.)
In the Seventy-fourth district court
here this morning suit for damages
in the sum of $100,000 was filed by
John B. Nichols against the Brad-
street company. Libel is alleged in
the petition.
It is claimed by Br. Nichols that the
commercial agency above referred to
as the defendant sent out certain
statements regarding his financial
rating and business standing which
are false and malicious. He asks for
§50,000 actual and §50,000 exemplary
damages.
John B. Nichols is one of the best
known citizens of McLennan county
having beenengaged in business at
Crawford for many years.
(By Annie Webb Blanton.)
The free textbook bill was passed
in March and did not become a law
until June. If it is in successful op-
eration for the fall opening of school
the State of Texas wil lhave carried
out one of the biggest enterprises ever
attempted in so short a time by any
State.
The present law is one under which
the State retains control of the pur-
chase of the books and prescribes uni-
form rules for their distribution. This
method is based on the successful ex-
perience of other States. The Texas
law is probably not a perfected plan,
but it is the result of the very earnest
-work of several committees, and is

that those holding the contracts
should pay the expense of shipping
the books to the schools.
Distribution Plans
If the State had then arranged to
send the books to county depositories
the expense of getting them to the
schools must have been assumed by
the State, an expense for which the
State had already contracted to pay
the book companies. In addition, there
would have been the extra cost of an
assistant for each County Superin-
tendent in order to handle the text-
book work. Since the contracts re-
quired the books to be shipped to the
schools, the law was so framed as to
make it the province of each school
district to receive and care for its own
books. ^
This plan, however, involved cer-
tain problems. School trustees are
usually busy men. County Superin-
tendents are often insecure. The
books must be shipped before the op-
ening of school, and the teacher might
not be on hand to care for them. With
the idea that the books must be ship-
ped to some responsible person, the
Legislature saw fit to provide that
the sdhool trustees, or their represen-
tatives, must make a bond in excess
of the value of the books. The com-
mittees framing the bill conceded
that trustees should be required to re-
place such books; but they wished to
make sure that hundreds of dollars’
worth of books should not be shipped
to aome careless person who might
leave them unguarded in s lonely, in-
•ecurs schoolhouse.

Waco Bale Brings §316
Waco, Texas, Aug. 18.—The first
bale of cotton brought 40 cents a

a farmer five miles from Waco, raised
the cotton. He picked it off twenty
acres in a day with twenty hands.

A Traveling Man’s Experience
You may learn something from the
following by W. H. Ireland, a travel-
ing salesman of Louisville, Ky. “In
the summer of 1888 I had a severe at-
tack of cholera morbus. I gave the
hotel porter fifty cents and told him
to bitty me a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colkt aid Riarrhoea Remedy and to
take no substitute, I took a ‘double
dose of it according to the directions
and went to sleep. At five o'clock the
next morning I was called by my ord-
er and took a tram for my next atop-
