Jajt being nice to people is the best
investment you can make.
Any base ball team will tell you it
is hard for them to beat another team-
of nine men, and the umpire too.
Thirty-four were killed and forty-
one injured ia railroad crossing sad
auto accidents last Sunday.
Abandoning his train full of pas-
otngers to take a peek at the Chicago-
Philadelphia ball game, a motorman
of an elevated Inin in Chicago recent-

Ifl toruatod in the game he forgot to ra-

Clifton ia missing a wonderful op-
portunity when she does not make a
comfortable place for the tourist who
pass this way over the Meridian High-
way by the hundreds of cars daily. An
ideal place and location is available if
the proposition is taken in charge now
by the right parties.
The flapper is cutting quite a swath
these days. She is making a bunch
of noise. She smears her face with
grease and paint, pulls out her eye-
brows, bobs her hair, walks with a
swagger, cultivates slang and is lan-
guidly familiar with the boys. In ad-
dition she generously concedes to her
mother the privilege of washing the
dishes, making the beds, scrubbing
the floors, doing the washing, cooking
the meals, and performing the thou-
sand other duties around the home.
Twenty years more of flapping will
transform the butterfly flapper into
a feminine scarecrow, whom no man
will want to wed. She who flaps to-
day, will pay tomorrow.—Exchange.
Really, there is no more sensible
thing for a business woman to do In
ordering the plans of her every-day
life than to have her hair bobbed.
Bobbed hair, if properly arranged, ia
in moat cases becoming. It is cool,
sanitary and much neater than long
hair, and consumes so much less val-
uable time in arrangement than the
“locks of glory.” Let the idle rich
wear their long tresser if they de-
sire.—Hamilton Herat 1-Record.
Fifteen Bosque county boys and
girls, six boys and nine girls, attended
the Farmers Short Course at A. k M.
College last week aa contestants for
the different honors, and the Record
ia proud of the good record made by
them—as we are told by county dem-
onstrator L. L. Johnson that they were
winners in everything they contested
for, but of course did not win first
place in every contest. Fred Rhodes,
Gerald JeSnea and Albert Dahl, who
are almost Clifton boys, living only
a few miles distance away, won fifth
honors in the grain judging contest.
The splendid training and interest be-
ing worked up among the young peo-
ple of this county will mean much
for the continued development of the
farming and livestock Interests, as
well as domestic training.
Taxation presses heavily upon mil-
lions of people who make out honest
tax schedules. It ia light upon the

to employ an attorney to devise ways

Tax dodging has been practiced until
it has become a fine art. Securities
are hidden away and not listed. Char-
itable contributions are enormously
padded. Expenses are listed that have
never been created. On every hand

SHOWER FOR BRIDE-ELECT
Misses Emma Mae Mjaaland, Moddie
Lee Little, Mamie Swenson and Mrs.
H. P. Jones, together with Mrs. Arnold
Brandes, were hostesses in the latter's
home Saturday afternoon honoring
Mias Zenobia Schow with a miscel-
laneous shower.
Ferns and old fashioned zenias ar-
tistically decorated the home with a
yellow and white motiff as color
scheme.
Miss Mae Schow presided at the
guest book, since it was she who
touched into life on its pages, with a
true artist’s hand, the Prince, the
Princess, the missing slipper—and,
“they lived happy ever after.”
After the rendition of various Victor
selections, Alice Odegaard charmed
those present with a reading, “An Old
Fashioned Garden,” and graciously
responded with an encore, “When
Noby Lost Her Pocket-Book.”
Mid excitement, the Prince arrived.
Little Miss Margaret Hill, in her regal
costume of yellow and white, looking
every bit the part she played, an-
nounced to the goesta:
“I have traveled far, I came in haste,
In quest of a maiden so fair, so chaste;
For, ’tis she whose foot this slipper
wears.
Who walked into my heart and took
possession there.
I beg you allow me the measure to tab*
And fit this slipper ere my heart doth
break;
Then will I crown her my princess, my
bride.
To live in a ‘Glass palace’ with love
as her guide.”
After much measuring, the Prince
found the slipper to exactly fit the
foot of the bride-to-be, and loudly
blowing his trumpet, the huge slipper,
formed of yellow and white, overflow-
ing with many beautiful art useful
gifts, appeared, daintily drawn in by
Baby Doran Poulson art presented to
the
Delightful lead fruit punch was
served throughout the afternoon by
Misses Irene Mjaaland art Frances

NBFF-FOR-PRES1DENT BOOM
IS SERIOUS, CHIRPS 8AY
Austin, Texas, July 17.—Indications
that nine out of every ten members
of the state democratic executive com-
mittee are more disposed to support
Governor Pat M. Neff for the presi-
dential nomination than William Gibbs
McAdoo are taken by political leaders
at the capital to mean that a Texas
delegation instructed for ex-Preaident
Wsl ion’s son-in-law is not by any
means a “cinch.”
While Neff supporters are asking
only for the seemingly innocent “fav-
orite aon” vote on the first ballot,
with an understanding that Texas del-
egates shift to McAdoo when it ia
made certain that the man from Waco
has no chance to win the nomination,
there is no little worry in the McAdoo
camp, because there are so many fav-
orite sons being groomed in nearly all
of the states that some of the sup-
posedly strong candidates may bo
smothered.
So far has the Nelf-for-President
idea been sown that the personal of
the state democratic executive com-
mittee, a straight-out Neff piece of
machinery and a powerful one at that,
is taking cognisance of it. This com-
mittee has Frank C. Davis of San An-
tonio for its chairman. Though Mr.
Davis, beyond reiterating his admira-
tion of art fondness for Mr. Neff, bed
nothing to say, it is known ha has been
consulted. With a strong loaning
toward Mr. McAdoo, Davis has a
stronger leaning tor Neff. His atti-
ture, toe, is that of Secretary Joseph
W. Hale ef-Waeo, former law partner
To do Governor Neff obsolete jus-
tice, there is not a trace at evidence,
tending to indicate he b hating one
