TORNADO SEASON
More than Thirty Million Dollars
worth of property destroyed in
U. S. in the past eight years
by wind.
No section of the country is
immune from these storms—
“hill and valleys, mountains
and dales” all look alike to a
tornado when it starts on its
journey of destruction. Be
prudent and procure indemnity
against loss from storms of
any character. The cost is
only 20c per hundred per year
on dwelling and business prop-
erty.

Rural phones in our office

Officers Elected.
A good attendance and keen
interest marked the meeting of
the Home and School club Thurs-
day afternoon. As this was the
last meeting before next Septem-
ber, the reports of the year’s
work were read, and plans for
next year’s work were discussed,
especially plans for introducing
musical instruction into the pub-
lic School.
The following officers were
elected for next year:
President, Mrs. Hoffmann; 1st
vice president, Mrs. Miller; 2nd
vice president, Mrs. Skinner; 3rd
vice president, Mrs. Bridgers;
recording secretary, Miss Win-
gren; corresponding secretary,
Mrs. Lockhart; treasurer, Mrs.
Terry. X
Missionary Society.
The Woman’s Missionary So-
ciety of the Methodist church
held its monthly business meet-
ing Tuesday afternoon. The de-
votional exercises, led by Mrs. J.
R. Key, the president, was help-
ful and interesting.
Reports were made of the dif-
ferent departments of work by
the first, second and fourth vice
presidents, the corresponding
secretary, treasurer and press re-,
porter—only two officers being
absent. The work of the auxilia-
ry is progressing,nicely.
Mrs. J. W. Ellis was elected
delegate to the annual meeting
at Pearsall, and Mrs. J. H. Rich-
ardson alternate.
A number of familiar faces
were sadly missed by those pres-
ent.
The meeting next week will be
held with Mrs. Z. V. Liles, with
Mrs. M. Y. Stokes leader, for the
fourth chapter of the study of
Mexico. v
First Church of Christ, Scient-
ist, of Lampasas, Texas, cordial-

Do not leave it to your neigh-
bor to vote out pool halls. If you
dp they will remain. Vote your-
self and see that your neighbor
votes!'' Ballots should read, “For
the Prohibition of Pool Halls.”
Scratch the bottom line. adv.
Work continues on the Cam-
eron buildings on east Third
street, where immense sheds will
be erected and splendid office
buildings arranged. It is a
pleasure to note the improve-
ments which are constantly be-
ing made in Lampasas. If some
more attention could be paid to
the principal streets and a few
thousand feet of sidewalks were
bfilt there would be improve-
ment worthy of speaking about
to all comers. Let us get to-
gether more and make more ad-
vancement this year. If all
signs do not fail it will be a year
of great prosperity.
FOR SALE—Parsley, mustard
and spinach; also Southern
Queen sweet potato slips and
sweet pepper plants. J. F. Lewis.
The flies are multiplying and
show themselves everywhere
there is a crack through which
they can crawl. It seems a fly
prefers to enter at a small open-
ing to a large one, and if your
screens are only partly closed,
the probability is that you will
have more flies in the house than
if it were not screened. Keep
the flies out by keeping the
screens closed. Kill the flies by
every possible means—poison,
traps, swatters, fly paper, but
above all destroy their breeding
places. Stop the multiplication.
Use plenty of lime, ashes, car-
bolic acid, formaldehyde, any
character of disinfectant, so that
the flies do not have opportunity
to establish factories right at
your home. Encourage your
neighbor to do as you do, and
destroy the pests. While Lam-
pasas poses as a health resort, it
can not afford to encourage an
epidemic of typhoid or any other
character of sickness, and much
of the ills of the human family
are properly attributed to the fly.
Swat the fly. Poison the fly.
Destroy the breeding place of
the fly. Be cleanly. Then you
can have health.
