T. P. & L. Company
Keeps Open House
Mr. and Mrs. Gant of Dallas,
representing the Texas Power &
Light Co. of Texas, and Miss Veda
Craig of Chicago, and Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Heaton, local managers
kept open house at the office of
the company this week, and hun-
dreds of ladies visited them. Miss
Craig is a specialist in cookery,
and showed the women of Steph-
enville the various electrical ma-
chines used in cooking food, and,
under their own eyes, baked
bread, cooked roasts, baked cakes,
and made coffee, and served all
these good things during the af-
ternoons, and when men dropped
in they, too, received gracious
attention. Friday afternoon will
be the last day of Miss Craig’s
visit here, and she will on that
day make a specialty of dough-
nuts, the kind with u hole in the
center, like our mothers used to
make.

You need never buy
a new Battery—jf—
—the plates in your bat-
tery don’t go wrong.
For tha life of • bstury is
in ths plates. As long as thajr
liva, jrOur battery lives.
That is why Prest-O-Lite,
whan it sat out to maka tha
automobila battery hatter, be-
gan with plates. Always a
maker of a better plate, it
turned its scientific skill and
research to improving it, and
produced Prest-O-Plate—the
long-lasting plate.
Here is a battery plate as
differentfrom ordinary plates
as goldie from jilt. It's made
different, but its greatest dif-
ference is in its longer service.
Unusual hardne n com-
bined with a peculiar por-
osity gives it unrivaled
durability.
This explains its ready re-
serve power in biting aero
weather, and its great non-
buckling strength that resists
overheating in summer.
Remember that all Prest-O-
Lite batteries are covered by
the regular Prest-O-Lite guar-
anty, a definite obligationp/ue
a spirit that says the car
owner must be pleased.
Drive around andsee us. No
matter what maka of battery
you have, friendly advice arid
expert attention will be given
gladly.

James Lawson
Is Laid to Rest
(
The body of James Lawson ar-
rived in Stephenville last Friday
morning and was immediately
taken in charge of by John Tarle-
ton Lodge Knights of Pythias and
with the assistance of ex-soldiers
of the city was laid to rest in the
East End cemetery, with large
numbers of relatives and friends
to mourn his untimely death. The
body was accompanied from Spo-
kane, Washington, by Mr. H. C.
Miller, who was his friend and as-
sociate for many years.
James Lawson was the son of
Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Lawson and
was born and reared in tSephen-
ville. About fifteen years ago he
left here and went to the state of
Washington and had since made
that state his home, being engag-
ed in the barber business. He
first located in Walla Walla,
Washington but later moved to
Sprague. He was living at Spra-
gue at the time he decided to have
the secohd operation for stomach
trouble, but was in Spokane when
the operation was performed. It
was first thought that he would
easily recover from the malady
but when brought from under the
influence of the anesthetic his
stomach was too weak to with-
stand the sickness and violent
vomiting created the necessity
-for another incision from which
he never awakened. .
When the late war started 'he
got into the service and went to
France. He enlisted with his old
friend, H. C. Miller, and they
were fortunate in being together
all the time while in the service.
For this reason his parents feel
that Mr. Miller’s diligent atten-
tion during his sickness and after
death were indicative of the es-
teem and honor he enjoyed at
Sprague. It is reported that every
possible attention was given the
body before being sent to Steph-
ville.
After' getting his discharge
from the army James came back
to Stephenville and visited his
parents for several months and at
the time he was here was employ-
ed in the Stephenville Shaving
Parlor. Many old-time boyhood
friends greatly admired him and
he was a favorite among the gen-
eral public of the city, being at
all times courteous and pleasant
with his associates.
Letters to the family from
friends in Sprague state that he
was greatly admired there and
had made himself universally
popular by his gentlemanly con-
duct and upright living.
Every possible attention was be-
stowed by the local lodge of K. of
P. and the American Legion.
The parents have the sympathy
of a large circle of friends,
could barely imagine Stephenville
such a progressive city and had
no idea that five thousand people
were living here until arriving
last Friday.
Mr. Short was retired with the
rank of a Master Sergeant and
He served six years as justice in
Tennessee, and eight years in
Erath county, and four years as
Erath county district clerk.
T. D. Thompson with his wife
and little daughter came in last
will be paid at the rate of $122.37 week from Childress, Texas, and
for the rest of his life. He in
tends locating somewhere in
Texas, but doesn’t think that he
will ever get back into the army.

After 30 Years Service
Soldier Is Discharged
Doing thirty years’ service in
the United States army sounds
easy but Richard E .Short, who
was here last week, is of the
opinion that he is the only man in
this section to get a discharge af-
ter so long a period in the service.
Mr. Short was in Stephenville to
visit his cousin, J. A. Short of
route five.
Mr. Short enlisted in the army
n Houston in 1899 and was imme-
diately sent into the Spanish-Am-
erican war. During the late
World war he was in France with
the 82nd infantry division, being
a sergeant major with division
headquarters. While in France
he was stationed principally in
Calais, where the English armies
j were heavily bombarded.
In the meantime, however, Mr.
Short did service in the
Philippines, Japan, China and all
the far eastern countries. He
states that while in these old
countries he was perhaps better
satisfied than at any other time
from the fact that so many curi-j
osities presented themselves. !
Many interesting events can be 1
cited from his diary which he has
kept all the years while in the j
army.
When in Stephenville many
years ago, Mr. Short said that
there was no railroad here and
that Alexander was then the |
metropolis of this section. He1
