§ A Pointer
Some people can see the point more quickly
than others. Here is a pointer that may help you
see the point.
If you haven’t reached the point in life where
you feel the need of a bank account it does not
follow that you never will. You can’t keep from
growing old. You will not always be young and
care free. As age creeps on, you will see the
point of the saving habit even if you don’t see it
now. Our bank will help you to see the point be-
fore it is too late. Start with us now.

C. A. Hemphill, of Coleman, is
among the visitors here for a few
days.
Mrs. J, F. Everett and children

loch county, where they have

al days.
Mrs. G. M. Kn-evele and chil-
dren, of Waco, are guests of Mr.
and Mrs. L. R. Sparks. The
families were formerly neighbors
in Waco.

ily having been here some time,
guests in the home of J. E. Hoop-
er. Mrs. Zivley and Mrs. Hooper
are sisters.
W. B. Moore, of Briggs, was
among the visitors here this
week, the guest of his son, Andy
Moore, and family.
Mrs. W. B. Shipp, who has
been the guest of her father, A.
W. Hoover, and family, for some
time, has returned to her home
in Austin.
My tomato crop is now’ ripen-
ing, and I also have roasting
ears and other vegetables for
•sale. J. F. Lewis.
Mrs. John Oliver has gone to
rSan Antonio and points near that
Mace where she will spend sev-
eral weeks visiting.
T. B. Harwell is having his
vacation this week and is spend-
ing it by the bouncing waves at
Corpus Christi, where it is hoped
he will have a good time.
Mr. and Mrs. John Ward and
Mrs.J. M. Skaggs, of Winters,

E. Martin.
Lum Colbert, of Oakwoods,

Mrs. Ida Foster has moved to
the residence next door north of

Mr. Rummel and family, who are

The Temple Telegram estimates
that 5000 to 6000 people heard
Col. Ball at Midway, in Bell
county, Monday, and is fair
enough to state that there seem-
ed to be a “divided sentiment.”
The division will show largely on
the Ball side of the figures when
the result of July 25th is shown.
This is a pro and anti fight, and
the pros will get into line before
the voting day.
The breach between Carranza
and Villa seems to be widening.
Carranza wants to be president
at any cost, while Villa is said to
want peace even at the cost of
war. Carranza is educated, while
Villa has plenty of common sense
and no education. Villa is a gen-
eral, Carranza a politician, and
there you have part of the dif-
ference. A conference to settle
their disagreements is in session,
but like some of the other politi-
cal gatherings, there seems to
be a fatal deadlock, and nothing
can be done to settle their dif-
ferences. Mexico is still in a
bad way, and the end is not yet
in sight.
Camp Joy.
Monday morning a camp was
organized at Hancock Park-con-
sisting of about thirty young peo-
ple from this city, with Mr. and
Mrs. G. W. Clements as chaper-
ons.
The arranging of camps, the
dancing quarters, etc., took up
all of the morning, so supper was
the first meal served, and we can
guarantee that all had plenty.
After supper a cool plunge in the
pool was enjoyed by all, and then
a joyous dance ’neath the light
of the moon, and the melodious
strains of a phonograph furnish-
ed amusement. After this fea-
ture of the evening the Rusty
Hinge Quartet furnished the
crowd with delightful music. Al-
though the applause was not
great, the encores were many.
The hour of twelve struck be-
fore the jolly bunch sought their
cots, and it was long afterwards
before they were in slumberland.
The following compose the
camp: Messrs, and Mesdames
G. W. Clemens, Elbert Clements,
Press Matthews; Misses Annie
Lois Clements, Bernice Clements,
Annie D. Cox, Joyce, Hazel and
Ruby Hooper, Laura Marcee,
Ruby Colbert, Ruth Cauthen,
Helen and Ilene Litton; Messrs.
Hill Slaughter, Milas Little, Bry-
an Nichols, Jim Harris, Clarence
Nichols, Chester Allen, Tom
Richie, Woodson Mitchell, E. P.
Hubbard, Frank McGuire, Jack
White and Mr. Taylor.
The out-of-town guests are:
Claude Van Norman, of Los An-
geles, Cal., guest of Hill Slaught-
er; Miss Leta Newby, of Brown-
wood, guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Press Matthews; Miss Nell
Woods, of San Antonio, guest of
the Misses Hooper. X

This is the season for big fires.
San Marcos, Mineral Wells and
Houston have recently suffered
great losses by fires, all of which
occurred in the night. At San
Marcos the work is thought to be
the work of incendiaries, as three
fires have occurred in succession.
A few people—just a few—have
cut the weeds around their prem
ises and on the inside. A few
people—just a few—keep their
premises in a sanitary condition,
and try to prevent the fly from
breeding and flooding the homes
with their filth and disease-breed-
ing germs. If all would co-op-
erate, the weeds would soon dis-
appear, and the fly would be al-
most unknown. In helping your-
self in such work as this you
help your neighbor, and he is
worthy of consideration. Cut the
weeds, swat the fly, destroy his
breeding places by using plenty
of ashes, "lime and other disin-
fectants about all damp places
where flies would congregate.
Let us have a campaign of sani-
tation.
N ewspaper announcements
state that Sam Sparks will speak
in the interest of the candidacy
of Tom Ball at this place on July
13, next Monday, and that W. F.
Ramsey, formerly candidate for
governor, will speak in this coun-
ty, place not given, on the 17th.
It looks as if the political pot
might get pretty warm in this
section before the primary elec-
tion on the 25th of this month.
A Birthday Party.
From four to six on Saturday eve,
Come to my birthday party please
The time is the fourth I’m eight years
old,
A good day to celebrate so we are told;
So come, there’s a good time in store
for that day
My birthday—the fourth, so don’t stay
away! Annie Lois Alexander.
The above invitation was re-
sponded to by about fifty children
and several grown-ups, and the
Mark Alexander home in East
Lampasas was a scene of beauty
and gayety during the hours
named. No suburban home could
offer a place more suited for such
an occasion than does this home
with its green shaded lawn, broad
porches and commodious rooms.
Old glory decorations floated
from all surroundings. After in-
dulging in games of various
kinds, Annie Lois led her happy
guests and playmates to the din-
ing room where the dainty birth-
day cake with its eight candles
was viewed and much admired,
and where delicious refreshments
were served by Mrs. Alexander
and daughter, Miss Weta.
When the time for home-going
arrived all were the happier for
such a birthday celebration.
Such gatherings are sunshine for
both children and the older ones.

M. W. Weeks, of Utica, Missis-
sippi, is among the visitors here,
his wife and children having
been here some time. He is a
brother of Mrs. J. C. Ramsey,
and was at one time a student in
the Lampasas city schools.
