The cave men built firee in the evening at the entrances of their cAves. The light
was flickering and uncertain, but it drove back the mysteriousi blackness of the
night, and so kept up their spirits.
And then, in the course of the development of man and the progress of civili-
zation, came the bearfat lamps, with the wicks of reed, the crude vessels of oil, tap-
ers, candles, kerosene lamps, gas and—at last—electricity.

Work on the Meridian Highway
through Bosque county is progressing
nicely. Some of these days our people
are to enjoy good roads to drive on.
The Highway Engineer is having
many of the corners cut on the route
and the distance shortened, which is
a great improvement.
The farmers of this section had
splendid weather for harvesting their
grain crops. Most of the farmers of
this section have learned to put their
grain in- hand stacks when first cut
and then it is practically safe from the
rains that sometimes do so much harm
to grain before it can be threshed. We
are glad to report that the wheat is
thought to be much better in this part
of the country than was expected be-
fore it was cut. Some think they will

I will, as usual, this year handle the
grain business here for the Waco Mill
& Elevator Co., and will appreciate
any part of your business, and will

Some predict the nomination of Mr.
McAdoo as the Democratic candidate
for president. This may happen, pro-
bably worse things have happened, but
if it does the democrats will lose many
votes because of McAdoo’a policy in
regard to the Government ownership
and control of the railroads, telephone
and telegraph lines and other public
utilities. During the war the people
were willing to accept anything that
was considered necessary for the win-
ning of the war, but even at that they
learned that they did not want public be inad« against hint for hij official

THE 1921 AUTO SEALS
Austin, Texas, June 12.—The State
Highway Commission has awarded a
contract for automobile seals for 1921
to the Pressed Steel Manufacturing
and Enameling Company of Cincinnati
Ohio. The contract calls for 600,000
seals at a price of .0314 cents each.
People who have never been for
Governor Hobhy before or event en-
dorsed any of hia official acts during
his time as Governor of Texas, are
now outspoken in their praise of his
work in opening up tbe port of Gal-
veston by sending state troops there
last week to prevent the striking
longshoremen from interfering with
men who had accepted employment
to unload and load freight at the docks.
The tieing up of freight traffic by
the striking union men had become a
serious matter with the people of Tex-
as and it looked as though there was
but one thing for the Governor to do,
and the big majority of the people
are behind him in this movement, ev-
en though many of them have not been
friendly to his administration bofcrs.
Some of the union heads are now
bluffing the Governor by suggesting
that impeachment charges are likely

John R. Cowen, candidate for Tax
Collector of Bosque county, has been
busy the past few days seeing the
voters in the different sections of the
county. John says the nearer the time

as he wants them to remember his
name and try to keep from scratching
it on election day.

Congressman Tom Connally has
placed hia announcement in this issue
of the Record end all other papers in
his district, offering himself as a can-
didate for re-election to the office that
he has filled so well and satisfactorily
to the people. Mr. Connally has no
opponent and will not have one for
this term of office and could have
been elected without spending the
money for announcement foe* with the
papers over the district, but he knows
the newspaper men well enough to
feel that a few dollars means much to
them, and being naturally big hearted,
he thought this an opportune time to
make them a donation. When Mr. Con-
natty feels that he would like to be
promoted to junior or senior U. S.
Senator, it looks at this time that all
he would have to do would be offer
himself for the place. Being worthy
and well qualified and a man who
counts his friends by the number of
his acquaintances, it seems that those
who may have contemplated becoming
an opponent of his at this time Jrave
