J. C. Blaine brought a mare here
from Missouri three years ago.
The mare is now five years old
and Blaine has five mares in his
horse family from this one ani-
mal. Can you figure it out; and
can you beat it? Mrs. Mo. Mare
and her interesting family will
be seen at the county fair.
Ralston’s big aeroplane, the
output of our town and shops,
has been neatly lettered on both
sides; “Fort Stockton,” and
when Sir Walter does some of
his fancy stunts here on Sept.
23-26, we will let the world know
that Fort Stockton, as usual is in
the lead. It isn’t many towns—
in fact none in this section of
the Unterrified States—that can
manufacture and put out its own
aeroplanes, except Fort Stock-
ton.

til you see the ice wagon pass to order your ice,
as this causes double work and leaves you the
