Report of Health Officer
Health conditions in the city fairly
good. Few cases of genuine "flu” re-
ported. There has been Icsb dengue
in city than for several years, due to
clean-up and mosquito campaigns.
We still have a mesquito man who
will perhaps aggravate some house-
holders by his persistence, but all
should aid him in every way, as
the idea that the mosquito is one of
the greatest pests of the age, and the
Federal, State, County and City health
authorities show this to be a fact, and
trying their utmost to exterminate
the evil.

cember, 1924:

(Blacklander Dispatch)
Applications for membership in the
Blacklanders, Inc., continue to flow in
daily and in ever increasing numbers
according to S. Maston Nixon, presi-
dent of the organization, who further
states that every resident in the 'Laud
of Plenty* who has the agricultural
development and better community
understanding of the South Texas
Gulf Coast at heart should go to his
nearest Chamber of Commerce and
sign the application blank for mem-
bership In the Blacklanders, Inc.
The Blacklanders are a democratic
organization who know beyond a
doubt that the South Texas Gulf
Coast is the best place in the world
to live and any citizen who is inter-
ested in the welfare of the communi-
ty in which he lives will make a wel-
come addition to the ranks of the
Blacklanders. Inc.
All pastors of this region have been
invited to become members of the
Blacklanders without payment of
dues and they are urged by President
Nixon to secure their applications at
their earliest convenience.
Officials of the organization are
making plans to stage a barbecue at
Taft on February 23 which Ib expect-
ed to be the largest event of its kind
ever held in the South Texas Gulf
Coast region.
The entertainment at the barbecue
which will be provided by the Black-
lanedrs from Taft and the surround-
ing section promises to be both novel
and unique and will without doubt
prove a hit with the Blacklunders
from the four counties who will be
gathered for the affair.
These men will have an opportunity
to get together and discuss the vari-
ous problems of their own communi-
ty, to foster community understand-
ing and to become better acquainted
with the future plans and prospects
of the Blacklanders, Inc.

News From Troop
Two Boy Scouts
The people of Kingsville know less
about the activities of the boys in
Scouting than many towns in Texas.
The Scoutmaster of Troop Two made
two trips up state last year, and
found many towns active in boy’s
work and in each place ho stopped
people were anxious to hear more
about Troop Two and Scouting in
Kingsville. Very few towns that didn’t
know or Kingsville Scouts, their
trips to New Braunfels, their many
Merit Badge Scouts, their constant
efforts in advancement, and the won-
derful way that Scouts have contin-
ued in their work from year to year
with very few dropping out.
Troop Two has more Merit badges
than any troop in South Texas by
three to one. There are seven Eagle
Scouts ready to be awarded badges
tills spring. There has been six badg-
es already awarded to Eagle Scouts,
and with very few exceptions every
boy in the troop holds a Life or Star
Scout rank.
Troop Two opened their new “Log
Cabin Hut” last Friday night and
there were twenty eight Scouts pres-
ent The five absent Scouts had reas-
! enable excuses. But to say that a
troop of boys from all parts of the
town and from all churches of the
town could meet twenty-eight strong,
means more than mere figures.
Troop Two has been a filled troop
i for four years. There has never been
a vacancy since it was taken over by
Dr. Chandler us Scoutmaster. There
is a waiting list now of three boys
1 who will become Scouts as soon as
I the older boys complete their scout
age in troop work
j Friday evening at 6:30 all the par-
I ents of the Scouts in Kingsville will
| fix a basket lunch and go out to Mea-
! dowbrook Farm and entertain their
1 boys for a couple of hours. This in
! National Boy Scout Week and Friday
j evening will be Parent and Son day in
1 Kingsville Scouting. If any parent
, fails to give their boy or boyn that
evening it will not be in keeping with
j the spirit of Scouting.
Troop Two will consider this occa-
sion aa their regular Scout meeting.
STOP THAT BACKACHE!
Many Kingsville Folks Have Found
the Way
is a dull, nerve-racking backache
wearing you out? Do you feel older
and slower than you should? Are
you tired, weak and nervous; find it
impossible to he happy, or enjoy the
good times around you? Then there’s
something wrong and likely it’s your
kidneys. Why not get at the cause?
Use Doan's Pills—a stimulant diure-
tic to the kidneys. Your neighbors re-
commend Doan’s. Read what this
Kingsville resident suys:
Mrs. C, H. Hayward. Ia;e Ave.,
says: “I was troubled with a severe
backache. There was a sort of a dull
aching puln in my back Just across
my kidneys day and night. I had diz-
zy spells and black specks floated be-
fore my eyes. My kidneys acted irre-
gularly too. I heard of Doan s Pills
and began using them. One box regu-
luted my kidneyB and my back is now
strong.”

McLane of Kingsville at Presbyterian
Church
Rev. H. Broks McLane of Kingsville,
preached two very line sermons at
the Presbyterian church of this city,
which the congregation present very
greatly appreciated. The speaker's
morning sermon stressed the theme
of every ordinary Chritian, however
humble, having his own individual
duty to perform. His Sunday night
sermon was a splendid exposition of
Paul's letter to Timothy. Rev. Mcl^uue
is in charge of Mexican boys in
the Tex.-Mex school at Kings-
ville, and a young man of dignity and
strong personality, well qualified to
be of profitable influence among his
boys, besides being an excellent
speaker. Hinton people hope to hear
him again.—Hinton Nows.
"When advertising stops, business
crumbles. This is the fourth truth,
which all advertising men know.
“Advertising is a powerful instru-
ment in rulsiug the standards of busi-
ness practice and I bought. This is the
fifth and finest Justification.”
Mr. Barton thus shows that adver-
tising is not a burden that at last is
saddled on the consumer, but thut
proper publicity has done and is doing
much to promote world progress,
bringing all modern necessities, con-
veniences and luxuries within the
reach of the people.
In truth there are few businesses
that do not respond to Judicious ad
vertising and few commodities so
well known that guidance in their
section by the consumer is not help-
ful. The message Is always read
whenever it Is presented through the
printed page and the consumer wel-
comes the suggestions thus given.—
Brownsville Herald.
FIVE ADVERTISING TRUTHS
Bruce Barton, well known writer
and advertising specialist sets forth
in a late number of a prominent
magazine five cardinal truths con
corning advertising that commend
themselves not only to business men
who would stimulate business, but to
consumers as well. They are:
“They have proved that advertis-
ing does pay, which is the first fun-
damental advertising trutht
“Advertising is a factor in Improv-
ing the quality of goods, and reduc-
ing their cost. This is the second
truth, which advertisers and their
agents have proved beyond doubt.
“Advertising creates new habits
and stimulates new thinking—the
third advertising truth.
