MOTION TO CANCEL
OIL LEASES PASSES
BY UNANIMOUS VOTE
Washington, Jan. 31.—An effort by
President Coolidge to persuade dem-
ocratic senators to desist in their sav-
age assaults on members of his cabi-
net failed today.
The president summoned Senator
Walsh, democrat, Montana, and Sen-
ator Robinson, democrat, Arkansas,
who fathered the pending resolution
demanding the resignation of the sec-
retary of the navy, to the White
House shortly before noon.
They had a long conference with the

Health of the community not very
good.
The little son of Mr. and Mrs. E. J
war
president of two terms—eight of the |
most momentous years in the history
of the world—closed his eyes and slip-
ped peacefully away.
The end came when vitality no long-
er could retard the steady dissolution
which set in with the stroke of paraly-
sis that laid Mr. Wilson low on his
return from the Western speaking
trip in 1919 in which he declared he
was glad to give his life for the league
of natiqns if that would make it a
success.
The cause of death, as officially an-
nounced, was genera arterio-sclerosis
and haemophligia.
The general sclerosis had been pro-
gressively hardening . Mr. Wilson’s
arteries since he was first stricken in
1919. The haemopligia, which refers
to the paralytic condition of his left
side, manifested itself principally in
his left arm and leg.
A digestive disorder, which develop-
ed last Monday, hastened death by a
new and vicious attack on the waning
vitality of the former president. He
took a sudden turn for the worse
Thursday night and his physicians
found that thereafter it was only a
question of how long they would be
able to prolong life.
J. P. Smith and family visited ia
i San Saba with their daughters, Mrs,
Lester Wright and Mrs. Dug Sloaa
Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Hopkins and sis*
ters, Ruby and Jewel, returned home
last week end from Killeen, wher®
they have been visiting relatives.
Miss Minnie Hopkins visited the
Misses Summerville Tuesday.
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Anderson of
Rumley visited in the home of Roy
Cowan and family Sunday,
Quite a number of the young folks
of this community went to Ogle Fri*
day to see the ball game to be played
by Kempner and Ogle boys, but
Kemner boys didn’t come.
Miss Virgie Summerville is on the
sick list this week.

MILEPOSTS

stones:
Born at Staunton, Va., December

Graduated at Princeton university
1879.
Selected as president of Princeton,
August 1, 1902, after 17 years as col-
lege professor.
Elected governor of New Jersey,
November 10, 1910.
Nominated for President in demo-
cratic convention, Baltimore, July 2,

as head of American peace commis-
sion.
Signed treaty of Versailles June 28,
1919.
Carried fight with senate over
League of Nations to country, Sep-
tember 3, 1919.

Wichita, Kan., September 26, 1919.
Stricken with paralysis at White

IT PAYS TO PRODUCE THE BESt
R. C. Reagh, of the Adamsville com*
munity, bought a two-year-old hog
of the Big Bone Poland China- type*
from W. W. Shurtleff, which when
dressed weighed 881 pounds. Th®
head alone weighed 65 pounds, the fat
rendered into lard made 27 gallons*
the sausage made from the trimmings
made 100 pounds, and the hams when
sliced measured nearly a half a yard
and the backbone measured 12 inches
through. If there was any way to
estimate the cost of producing a hog
which only weighed half the amount
of this hog for the same length of
time, there would probably be only ft
very small difference. This is one of
the finest hogs raised in this section*
and proves what can be done with
proper care, feeding and the best kind
of stock to produce for all purposes,

1923, aggregate approximately $400,-

PROTESTANTS ASKED
TO AID THE SUFFERING
CHILDREN OF GERMANY
Washington, Feb. 1.—An appeal to
“all Protestants in America” to help
in thd relief of the children of Ger-
many, was issued today in the form
of a call to 125,000 pastors by the
committee on mercy and relief of the
federal council of churches.
Prayers at all public religious serv-
ices are asked and offerings for the
relief of the suffering in Germany in
every church and Sunday school are
requested. The pastors also are urged
to encourage individual laymen to
make personal contribution to the re-
lief fund, which, unless the gifts arc
otherwise designated, will be expended
through Protestant agencies in Ger-
many.

BLOCKADED *
Every Houeshold in Lampasas Should
Know How to Resist It.
If your back aches because the kid*
neys are blockaded.
You should help the kidneys with
their work.
Doan’s Pills are especially for weak
kidneys.
Recommended by thousands—here's
testimony from this vicinity.
D. J. Wright, Burnet, Texas, says?
“I commenced to suffer from kidney
trouble and I believe it was caused
by a strain. I tried several differ-
ent medicines but got only partial
relief and at last when I heard of
Doan’s Pills I used them. The
relief was great almost from the
start and when I had finished tw®
boxes I was cured.”
Six Years Later—Mr. Wright Said?
“The benefit Doan’s Pills gave me haa
lasted.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’fe
simply ask for a kidney remedy—ge%
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mis
Wright had. Foster-Milburn Co*

chief executive, but they left the
White House declaring they would
push the resolution “to the utmost.”
The resolution demanding the resig-
nation of Secretary Denby was taken
up today by the senate after it had
passed unanimously the Walsh reso-
lution proposing annulment of the Sin-
clair and Doheny oil leases.
Mr. Denby’s signature is attached
to the leases which are declared by
the Walsh resolution, as finally adopt-
ed, to have been made without author-
ity and contrary to law. A futile ef-
fort to strike out this charge was made
by administration senators.
The democrats led in the attack on
the navy secretary as the debate on
the second resolution began, with the
regular republican organization lin-
ing up with the opposition. It was
conceded however, that enough re-
publican insurgent votes might swing
over to insure adoption.
Mrs. Dan W. Phillips, of Galveston,
is here visiting her brother-in-law,
Dick Huling, who has been sick for
some time. Mrs. Phillips lived in
Lampasas at one time and will be re-
membered by many of the older cit-
izens.
m,v. THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Forecasting A Tremendous
Spring Demand
739,626
•/ more Ford cars and trucks were pro-
duced last year than the previous
year, an increase of over 50 per cent.
In spite of this tremendous increase in production, it was
impossible to meet delivery requirements during the spring
- and summer months when orders for 350,000 Ford Cars
and Trucks could not be filled.

Y ’ .
This year winter buying for immediate delivery has been
more active than ever before—and in addition 200,000
orders have already been booked through the Ford Weekly
Purchase Plan for spring delivery.
These facts clearly indicate that the demand during this
spring and summer will be far greater than ever, and that
orders should be placed immediately with Ford Dealers as
a means of protection against delay in securing your Ford
Car or Truck or Fordson Tractor.

HIGHEST PRICES
ARE USUALLY PAID FOR BROILERS AND FRYING
CHICKENS IN THE WINTER AND EARLY SPRING.
Everyone realizes by now that hatching chickens with hens is not the profit-
able way. The hen cannot spread over enough eggs to supply the demand
—just a case of too limited capacity. Right here is where the OLD
TRUSTY Incubator comes in. The work of this machine puts the hen out
of business as a hatcher. It is truly marvelous what strong, healthy chicks
the OLD TRUSTY produce s with good eggs and a little attention. Just
half the trouble to hatch more chickens than to look after enough hens to
produce the same results.
Rats and Other Animals Cannot Destroy the Nest or
Break up the Eggs When the Hatch is Almost Finished.
The OLD TRUSTY is the Incubator for you to use. We can point to lots
of satisfied users; people who have used the OLD TRUSTY for years and
know there is no better. Only the best of material is used in their con-
struction and the greatest of care in their manufacture. We are anxious
to add you to our list of satisfied users of the OLD TRUSTY.
A Full Line of OLD TRUSTY Incubators and
Repairs and Brooders. Everything for Chickens.
