The Store Where Most People Trade
Denton and Mark Barnett, sons of
Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Barnett, caught a
wolf the past week which has been do-
ing much damage to sheep in their
neighborhood. The boys set a trap
and the wolf got into it and broke
loose and was captured with the dogs.
The wolf hide measured six feet when
stretched and the boys are very
proud of their capture. These boys
are only ten and twelve years of age
but know how to handle traps and
dogs like an old experienced hunter.
There is no bounty offered for the
scalp but the neighbors in that section
nearly always make up a purse for the
scalps and the boys receive a few dol-
lars. There are many wolves near
their home and the capture of this
one may mean the saving of many dol-
lars to the stockmen.
CONVENTION MEETS AT CUERO.
The State Fireman’s convention
meets at Cuero this year and the Lam-
pasas department is making its plans
to attend the meeting. The races will
be an important event this year and a
first prize of $500.00 and a second of
$100.00 is offered. The racing team
here has been practicing for some
time and expects to secure the first
prize this year. The Lampasas Fire
Department is a volunteer organiza-
tion and the boys receive no compen-
sation for thier labors. A committee
will call on you within a short time
trying to raise funds which will enable
them to go to the convention. Get
your pocketbook ready and make a
liberal contribution which will show
the boys that their services are appre-
ciated in Lampasas.
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Pearson were
visitors to The Leader office Monday
to renew their son’s subscription to
The Leader which goes to France. Mr.
Pearson says Alvin writes that he
gets the paper with fair regularity
and that all the boys from this section
gather around to read it and re-read
it_even to the advertisements. His
son has hopes of returning home soon,
and Mr. Pearson says if he does the
other boys over there will be glad to
get his paper.
in. A part of Houston people who are
interested in the well arrived in
Goldthwaite Sunday morning and the
tanks are now in readiness for the
gusher. It is expected the well will be
brought in the early part of this week.
LAMPASAS COUNTY TO BE
QUARANTINED.
Judge W. H. Adkins has received
the Governor’s proclamation which
states that Lampasas county and all
other counties in zone one will be plac-
ed under quarantine after the first of
April. This quarantine will last until
the ticks have been eradicated. This
means that no cattle in the county
may be moved or shipped without a
special permit from inspectors which
will be placed here to conduct a sys-
tematic dipping of the cattle. Lam-
pasas county is not the only county
which is to be under quarantine for
there are 54 counties in zone one
which are affected by this proclama-
tion. The sooner the dipping is start-
ed here the sooner the quarantine will
be lifted for it will remain in force un-
til the county is cleaned of ticks.
Furman Wolf has gone to Coleman
where he will spend a few days with
friends.
Guy Draper has gone to Waco
where he will visit friends and look
after business matters.
Several Lampasas people went to
Goldthwaite Sunday afternoon to be
present when the oil well is brought
VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN.
Dallas, Tex., March 19.—A tele-
graph dispatch from Washington re-
ceived in Dallas today by the Liberty
Loan organization says, “You are au-
thorized to say that the secretary of
the treasury wants to emphasize in
the strongest possible manner that it
is imperative that the bonds or notes
issued in the Victory Liberty Loan
Campaign should be distributed as
widely as possible amongst the great-
est number of people.”
This makes it clear beyond all
doubt the attitude of the Government
on this important matter and its ru-
mor that the banks are expected to ab-
sorb the offerings.
The plain facts about the Liberty
Loan are as follows: For months past
the Government has been borrowing
from the banks to pay our war debts
and the time has arrived when this
money must be paid back. The Gov-
ernment ran up a huge bill to buy the
equipment, and ammunition has
scared Germany stiff and ended the
war.
Thus saving the lives of thousands
of American boys who would other-
wise be fighting and dying in the
trenches today.
The public is being asked to lend
its money to the Government to pay
for American boys’ lives.
This is not a job for the bank but
for every American that is worthy of
the name.
HOME AND SCHOOL CLUB
MEETING.
At a called meeting of the Home
and School club Thursday afternoon,
all plans were perfected concerning
the entertaining of visitors and con-
testants who will be in Lampasas to
attend the Track Meet, March 28-29.
This is the day of all days in the year
when every teacher and pupil in Lam-
pasas county have an opportunity to
demonstrate features of school work
to the public and to get together in a
social way. The inspiration given
school officials, the meeting of friend
with friend, make these Track Meet
meetings one of the greatest trust
companies ever organized in Texas.
Their dividends do not return in dol-
lars and cents but, in happier homes
and better citizens.
The Home and School Club backed
by every citizen of the town extends
a cordial invitation to the people of
the county to be present the evening
of March the 28th and Saturday the
29th. Never did the people of Lam-
pasas feel more like acting the part of
host: The war over, glorious rains,
influenza past, and prosperity in pros-
pective oil developments lending its
aid. This invitation is sent to the
farthest corners of the county to in-
vite everyone to witness the good
work that is being accomplished for
the welfare of its children. It carries
with it fellowship and greeting to all,
and grateful appreciation to those
who have lent a heart and a hand to
the cause of organized school work.
The intent is to instruct and inspire
hosts of new friends and win them to
the ranks of workers for better
schools. To call into service for the
children every father, every mother,
every teacher and thereby lay claim
Letters of Introduction
When you go to a strange place would it be of any use
to you to have a letter of introduction from this bank to some
good bank in the place you are going to? It would.
And we will be glad to extend this courtesy. The other
banker will appreciate it too. Without seeming to boast we
wish to venture the assertion that it will help you a great
deal to carry a good letter of introduction from your banker.
The chances are that your banker is about as well acquaint-
ed with you as any of your friends and his acquaintancehip
with the banking fraternity might help you. We will be glad
to serve you in this way.

TURN CLOCK AHEAD MARCH 30.
Washington.—The nation will turn
forward its clocks an hour on March
30 because the daylight saving law is
not affected by the coming peace.
While passed as a measure to con-
serve fuel, the daylight saving law is
on the statute books to stay as a per-
manent national policy, unless con-
gress repeals it. Thus far there has
been no agitation whatever for the
repeal of the law, and while there are
bills pending to repeal nearly every
other war measure, this one Btands.
The present congress adjourned
March 4, and it is certain the new
congress will not be in extra session
by that time. So there is no chance
of the law being repealed for this
year, at any rate. The general im-
pression is that the people are pretty
well satisfied with the daylight law.
The bill provides for the clocks to
be changed the last Sunday of March.
That day this year is the 30th.
Capt. Amory Oliver came in Tues-
day afternoon from Fort Hamilton,
N. Y., to spend a twenty-day furlough
