EffECTSVE?
That’s the question you want to ask your-
self when a newspaper asks your advertising
patronage. Will paying results be obtained?
Don’t quibble about the extent and quality
of the circulation, just ask the advertisers who use
the paper under consideration, if it pays. THE
LEADER has both quality and extent of circula-
tion. Look at the list of advertisers and ask any
of them as to results obtained from advertising in

night for one of the most enjoy-

lusion that it was summer time.

pretty heads in postal colors.

est among the guests, while the

Taylor Will Be Headquarters.
Taylor, Texas,—Robert J.
Fckhardt, who has been appoint-
ed state receiver for the Waters-
Pierce Oil company, is preparing
to take charge of corporation’s
property in Texas, relieving the
Federal receiver, Dorchester, of
Sherman. Headquarters will be
moved here temporarily until the
company is finally ousted from
the state. Eckhardt is expected
to take charge the latter part of
this week when mandate from
the United States Supreme Court
reaches Texas.
The court of criminal appeals
upholds the new game law, the
case of a man who sold ducks
which he had killed going up
from Jefferson county on a test
case. This will knock out the
pot hunters generally which was
one of the chief objects of the
new law.
About the only event of im-
portance in the legislature is the
postponement of the submission
issue in the house of represent-
atives until the 4th of February,
though it is said that the main
issue may be called up at any
time the majority may choose to
do so. The upper house is now
wrestling with the question, and
may bring it up for a final vote
before they take up other matters.
The pros at Austin seem sure the
matter will be submitted to a vote
of the people, while the antis are
equally confident that it will not
be submitted. Time alone will
tell.
Won’t Catch Anything^
“You have the alarm clock I gavi
you?”

Pinkley.
“And you set it every night?”
“Yes, suh. But tain’ no use. I beei
settin’ it reglar foh two weeks an’
ain’ cotched nuffin’ yet!”
