the county superintendent, for a
period not to exceed the number of
months the public schools are
maintained in the district of such
child’s residence, if the said dis-
trict does not maintain a public
high school open to such pupil;
and provided further that no such
grant may be made unless satisfac-

Messrs. Robert Golightly, J. W.
Tatum and J. W. Golightly return-
ed last Saturday from an extended
trip to the West Texas plains. They
made stops at Snyder, Lamesa,
Lubbock and Littlefield. At Lit-
tlefield the party inspected the
large tract of land being offered
fer sale by the Yellowhouse Land
company, an organization which
has the old Major Littlefield ranch
land in hand. In the opinion of
the gentlemen no part of the plains
can boast of the crop prospects
Erath county now has. J.-W. Go-
lightly went so far as to make the
statement that his corn crop on
the lower Bosque would make more
than the entire yield on the plains.
The trip was in an automobile and
at night^he party took their cots
and slept in the open, making the
trip a vacation as well as one of
business.

USES FERRASAL
I am using Ferrasal for indi-
gestion and acid stomach and it is
the best preparation I have ever
taken. I also recommend it in my
practice for pyorrhea and acid
condition of the mouth and am
getting excellent results. I know
others will appreciate Ferrasal as
much as I do if you will bring it
to their attention.
