AVERY
The Paddy of Them Alt
mM&^M
Twenty years ago Mr. Bill was first offered to the growers of cotton and
corn to fill a long felt want. In 1904 there were three trainloads of Mr.
Bills delivered to Texas farmers. Since that time more than 100,000 farm-
ers have learned from actual experience what it means to own and operate
a real riding planter. During the span of Mr. Bill’s leadership, many a
planter has made its bid for Mp, Bill’s place. Each of these contestants has
based its claim on being “just like Mr. Bill”. That there never was a
planter “just like Mr. Bill” is clearly proven by the fact that after twenty
years Mr. Bill holds unchallenged the leadership enjoyed at the beginning
of his career. It is with sincere regard that he is known among his users
as “THE DADDY OF THEM ALL.”

DEATH OF MRS. W. WOOD
Mrs. W. Wood died Friday after-
noon at 4:15 o’clock, Feb. 29, at her
late home at Adamsville, at the age
of 77 years. The deceased was a na-
tive of Tennessee and joined the
church in girlhood, and all the years
of her life she lived and practiced the
precepts taught in the Bible. For the
past twelve years she lived at Adams-
ville, where the people who knew her
best, loved her best. She will be miss-
ed from the home where she and her
daughter, Miss Mollie Wood, had lived
for several years, but her memory and
the many deeds of kindness will long
be remembered. She was a faithful
member of the Presbyterian church at
Adamsville and the congregation will
miss "her.
The deceased is survived by five
children: Rev. L. M. Wood, pastor of
the Presbyterian church at Brady;
J. O. Wood, of Austin; Mrs. C. T.
McClure, of Pidcoke; Miss Mollie
Wood, Adamsville; John T. Wood,
Taylor county.
The funeral services were held Sat-
urday afternoon, conducted by Rev.
J. W. Johnson, and interment was
made in Hines Chapel cemetery.
RABIES PERCENTAGE
RUNNING VERY HIGH
Austin, Texas, Feb. 29.—Not in the
nineteen years of existence of the
State Pasteur Institute has the per-
centage of rabies ran so high as in
February. Approximately 150 dog
heads have been examined in Febru-
ary, and 45 per cent were found in-
fected with rabies.
“All worthless dogs should be kill-
ed,” declared Dr. J. T. Wilhite, direc-
tor of the Pasteur Institute, “and
only those of real value should be im-
munized, where the rabies appear.
Some people are foolish about dogs,
and common, worthless specimens at
.that. These people wilP save such
animals and permit their children and
the children of others to be bitten and
infected with an incurable malady
that means a horrible death. What
they should do is to have the dogs
killed promptly when rabies start in
a community.
“Some people will buy feed and a
license for a worthless dog and per-
mit their children to want for shoes.
If a dog is highly valuable, the owner
should have the animal adequately
immunized; not the one or tjwo dose
treatment of serum, but a safe, ap-
proved immunization. The other dogs
should be killed. In that way the lit-
tle children and the grown-ups will be
saved from the terrible rabies.”
OBREGON DEMANDS
FULL SURRENDER
City of Mexico, Feb. 28.^—Replying
to a message sent him by the conven-
tion of the Chambers of Commerce,
which is meeting in Monterrey in an
effort to bring about peace, President
Obregon said:
“The government over which I pre-
side does not consider itself responsi-
ble for the bloody tragedy provoked
by the treason of high military au-
thorities moved by illegitimate ambi-
tions, and it would be unbecoming for
the government to enter negotiations
with these men who violated all prin-
ciples of loyalty and honor.”
The president said he could not
leave unnoticed the fact that these
Chambers of Commerce, at present so
zealous for peace, did not attempt to
avoid the conflict when the revolution
was foreseen by the newspapers, some
of which even predicted that he would
not leave the City of Mexico alive.
Continuing, the president said the high
moral interests of the nation were
placed above those material interests
which might suffer through a pro-
tracted campaign while bands of dis-
used rebels were being exterminated.
“We must establish a precedent,”
he said, “for the definite consolida-
tion of our institutions which are
above any material or blood sacrifice
necessary to subdue these bands who
have assumed the role of bandits. No
agreement is possible except the un-
conditional surrender of disloyal sol-
diers.”
40 BILLS FOR 2.75 PER
CENT DRINKS IS PLAN
Washington, Feb. 28.—Forty mem-
bers of the House joined Thursday in
an announcement that next week they
each will introduce a bill to legalize
the manufacture and sale of beverages
with an alcoholic content of 2.75 per
cent by volume.
GOVERNMENT HELP
ASKED FOR COTTON
Washington, Feb. 28.—Financial aid
will be sought from the government
Senator Smith, democrat, South Caro-
lina, declared in the senate today for
the holding of cotton from the market
if such a step should prove necessary
to offset attempts being made, he
alleged, to depress prices in the face
of the existing shortage.
The South Carolina Senator called
attention to the extent which federal
assistance was being sought for the
wheat growers who, he said, are suf-
fering from just the reverse “of our
situation.”
“I have been in the fight for them,”
he said, “and shall expect similar con-
sideration for the South.”
FORBES FACES COMPLAINT
OF TAKING BRIBE
Chicago, Feb. 29.—Charles IL
Forbes, former director of the United
States Veterans bureau, and John W.
Thompson, of Chicago and St. Louis,
were indicted today by the federal
grand jury which has spent four week3
investigating the administration of
Forbes.
Forbes and Thompson were indict-
ed jointly in two true bills charging
conspiracy to commit bribery and of-
fenses against the United States gov-
ernment in connection with the con-
struction of veterans hospitals.
A separate indictment against each
man also was returned, one charging
Forbes with accepting a bribe and
the other charging Thompson with
giving a bribe.
The two joint indictments were of
two kinds, the first charging conspi-
racy to commit bribery and offenses
against the government, and the sec-
ond conspiracy to defraud the govern-
ment.
Both indictments were based on
deals involving the construction of vet-
erans bureau hospitals.
$200 FOR TURKEY
San Saba, Texas, Feb. 27.—Turkey
raisers in San Saba county are going
forward with plans for a big 1924 tur-
key crop. Fine pure bred Toms are
being ordered from breeders of the
best birds in the United States to
head many flocks in this country.
Mrs. T. A. Garrett of Richland
Springs, one of the leading raisers of
Mammoth Bronze turkeys in this sec- .
tion of the State, this week re-
ceived from Pennsylvania a Mam-
moth Bronze Tom, for which she paid
$200. This bird is a brother of a
Tom which took first prize last sea-
son at the Madison Square Garden
show in New York.
SNAP SHOTS
l
And when the meek inherit the
earth they had better get title in-
surance.
If it meant a free trip, we would
like to be summoned to Washington,
even as a witness.
Another reason why we hate to?
get our cigars from a girl clerk is
because she thinks we buy the cheap
ones because we are poor.
The reason we would laugh if we
were a cotton raiser is because the
price has gone down eight cents since
the farmers sold.
Little Pansy Peavish says the rea-
son her parents are having a fuss is
because they went to church yester-
day, and when mamma put fifty cents
in the basket papa took out a quar-
ter.—Dallas Neiws.
OUT OF THE GLOOM 1
Many a Gloomy Countenance in Lam-
pasas Now Lightens With
Happiness.
A bad back makes you gloomy.
Can’t be happy with continual back*
ache.
The aches and pains of a bad back'
Are frequently due to weak kidneys,
Doan’s Pills are recommended for
weak kidneys. *
So Lampasas citizens testify. v
S. H. Smithwick, livestock dealer,'
202 3rd street, Lampasas, says; “I
have used Doan’s Pills off and
on for a good many years and have
had fine results. I have had a little
■ bladder trouble and I find Doan’s are
the thing to regulate my kidneys. I
buy Doan’s at Mackey & Ransom’s
Drug Store and I recommend them to
anybody troubled the way I was.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills — the same that
Mr. Smithwick had. Foster-Milburz*
