STATE-FEDERAL AID MAY BE
USED IN THE SMALL TOWNS
Austin, Texas, July 27.—The Attor-
ney General, through Assistant Bruce
W. Bryant, holds that State and Fed-
eral aid may be used in construction
of a designated highway through a
small town, the Federal law allowing
it in towns under 2,500 population.
Another opinion holds that hides
concentrated from several counties
may be inspected by the hide and ani-
mal inspector of the county in which
they are concentrated.
A County Commissioner, it is held,
may serve as the tax assesor and col-
lector of an indepedent school district.
Owner of a motor bus who contracts
to take children to and from school
must pay the State license under the

Pending the decision in the gasoline

refused to give an opinion to a large
oil company disclaiming liability of
the tax during May.
Fish may be taken by Texans from

BOSQUE RIVER SURVEY TO
START SEPTEMBER FIRST
Waco, Texas, July 30.—The United
States geological survey engineers,
who were first scheduled to arrive in
Waco around July 1, will not begin
t'.tir work on the Bosque river until
around the first of September, accord-
ire to a letter received here by G. E.
Byars, superintendent of the Waco
Waterworks, from Col. Glen S. Smith,
U. S. G. S. engineer.
Mr. Byars points out, however, that
much of the time which intervenes
will be profitably taken up ‘by the
state board of water engineers in do-
ing preliminary work, and these state
engineers are expected to arrive in
Waco soon to start to work.
The delay is occasioned by it be- ]
coming necessary to transfer the Fed- j
eral engineers to other parts of the ,
United States. When they do arrive, j
however, they will start on the work j
as outlined by the state board of water j
engineers, with the Bosque river as |
one of the first on the docket for j
survey.
Mrs. J .W. Helm, who is here with
her aunt, Mrs. Sallie Whittenton, or-
dered the Record for another year this
week sent to Mr. Helm, who is looking
after home affairs at Jericho.

WALNUT SPRING AND CLIFTON
PLAY A TWELVE INNING TIB
Clifton and Walnut Springs met in
a postponed game at Walnut Springs
Tuesday afternoon, which ended in a
score of 5 to 5 after twelve innings
of real base ball. Both teams played
good base ball throughout the game,
with very few errors on either side.
Carl Colwick made his first appear-
ance on the mound for Clifton this
season, and had his old “smoke” ball
and hooks working nicely, and his
control, while not perfect, was good
considering this was his first appear-
ance as a pitcher this year. He struck
out eleven men in the nine innings
he worked. E .B. Hajjgfe went in the
first of the tenth and pitched a good
game.
Martin pitched the entire game for
Walnut, and did some very pretty
work. Royal, catching for Walnut,
was the hitting star of the day, get-
ting five hits and bringing in every
one of the Walnut counters. His dou-
ble in the fifth scored three runs; a
long hit in the ninth scored another
run for Walnut, and again in the
twelfth he hit one for three bases,
scoring another run for Walnut.
Clifton had its regular line up in
this game for the first time in about
three weeks. The players worked
smoothly in the field, but they didn’t
seem to connect up with the ball in
their old time hitting style.
Walnut took the lead with three
runs in the fifth. Clifton scored two
in the sixth, one in the eighth and
one in the ninth. Walnut, in the last
half of the ninth, pushed across an-
other run, tying the score at 4 and 4.
Clifton scored another run in the first
of the twelfth, but Walnut again ev-
ened the count by running in one in
their half. The game was called at
the end of the twelfth on account of
darkness.
Clifton fans who saw the game re-
port a splendid exhibition of base ball,
and all seem to be encouraged as to
the outlook for the locals in their
future games. Clifton has had hard
luck since the team was torn up by
so many players going to the National
Guard camp, but fans soon expect the
team to be back in its old time style
—the style that made them winners
of the first half with only a one game
loss.

• native of Bosque county, was born

CAYOTE DEFEATS WALNUT
IN LAST SATURDAY’S GAME
The fast Cayote team last Saturday
afternoon took the League leaders to
a 7 to 6 defeat, taking eleven innings
to do the trick. The game was played
at Cayote. Previous to this defeat
Walnut Springs was standing 1000 per
cent in the second half of the Bosque
County League schedule.
Walnut Springs took an early lead
by a home run delivered by the first
man up. They added five more runs
f*;
able to put one across. Cayote scored
two runs in about the seventh, but
went into the last inning facing a four
run lead. Timely hitting, and a costly
error on the part of Walnut, enabled
Cayote ;o tie the score, forcing the
game into extra innings.
In the eleventh, Raymond Robert-
son singled, stole second, was sacri-
ficed jto third, and scored on a slaw
grounder to Martin.
Martin pitched for Walnut Springs,
and did a good job with the exception
.of the ninth inning. Moorman worked
for Cayote. He had trouble with his
control the first few innings, but set-
tled down and pitched a good game
the latter part. Raymond Robertson,
playing left field for Cayote, accepted
several very difficult chances, and also
did well with the stick.
WM. KETTLER, SR., I)EAI)
Another old settler of this com-
munity passed away suddenly Sunday,
when the shocking news spread that
Wm. Kettler Sr. was dead. Deceased
came here from Washington county,

community and in Gamersville.
Seven children, ten grandchildren
and other relatives, mourn his death.
Mr. Kettler was a faithful member
of the Lutheran church. Funeral ser-
vices were held Sunday afternoon, and
was attended by a large assembly of
friends. Interment was in the Clifton
cemetery.

CLIFTON HIGH DEFEATS
MERIDIAN COLLEGE 23 TO 3
Playing in their old time form that
made them the stellar team of the
county last winter, the Clifton High
School girls basket ball team defeated
Meridian College at Meridian Tuesday
by the top heavy score of 23 to 3. The
score, however, does not indicate the
closeness of the game, as it was hard
fought throughout.
The old team was intact, except
Jewel Thurmond played guard in Vera

DALLAS DRIVER FINED FIVE
TIME8 IN ONE SHORT TRIP
Weatherford, July 31.—Five fines
paid for speeding between Fort Worth
and Millsap Mountain, at the west
boundary of Parker County, ii the
record of a Dallas man Sunday af-
ternoon, who crossed the western
boundary with a handful of speed cop
tickets and receipts for fines paid.
The party was in an eight-cylinder
car, and his first arrest, according to
a ticket he held, was in Arlington
Heights. Another ticket indicated
that the Benbrook officers had suc-
ceeded in overhauling the speeding
car. He was caught in East Parker
and again as he neared this city. The

forward on the Intermediate team last
year, and Tuesday, playing guard for
the first time, covered herself with
glory. Annie Gray and Avis Lane,
playing in the center, were always at j
the right place at the right time, and
constantly kept the ball in Clifton ter-■;

Miaaland played their usual good
game at the basket, while Lillie Belle
Rice played her position so well as
guard that her opponent failed to reg-
ister a goal.
This is perhaps the last game that
the old team will play together, as
Edd:e, Avis, Lillie Belle and Vera
were graduated last May. This does
not mean, however, that Cliftofi High
will not be represented by a good team
next session, as the “Wonder Team”
stands ready to take their places.

LONG LIFE
In buying a motor car, consider what
the cost will be when divided over
a period of years.
What is the car’s reputation for satis-
factory service after the first year?
After the second? And after the
third—and fourth?
These considerations, in the final
analysis, are the true basis of- econ-
omy in motoring.
And it is this attribute of long life to
which Dodge Brothers Motor Car
owes its chief claim upon the unalter-
able loyalty of its owners.
The price of the Touring Car is $880
f. o. b. Detroit—$1010 delivered
, The gasoline consumption is unusually low.
The tire mileage is unusually high.
