Come Down to Deport
To morrow and watch Ralph
Walpole come into town with two
and one half cords of fine wood
on his big truck and trailer.
Three loads per day, and he
could make four if you eliminate
all bridges and short turns.
Multiply this by two (if you
care to run it day and night) and
you have twenty cords moved
per twenty four hours. There’s a
natural road for Mr. Walpole to
come over and not touch a single
bridge if the farmers will make
a little sacrifice tyad let him
j through the fields. Don’t be
! selfish. Help Deport get cheap
fuel.
Start at Hagensport bridge
and stay on back bone to Blossom.
Then you have a crown fromthere
to Sherman or Texarkana.

A Word from Ladd
I take this means of saying to
the men and women of Precinct
7, that I thoroughly appreciate
everything that was said or done
in behalf of my candidacy for
the office of cotton weigher at
Deport. I tried to make a clean
race, asking for the office upon
my ability to render a satis-
factory service, and not once, in
any way, did I seek to secure
votes by trying to belittle my
opponent.
Especially do I appreciate the
vote I received at Deport. It was
higher than any man has ever
received who made the race for
the uffice that did not live in the
town. Also to the people of my
home box I am indebted. While
I did not receive enough votes to
obtain the nomination, 1 cannot
help but feel a pride in the fact
that those who know me best
cast a majority in my favor.
To those who did not see fit to
support me in this campaign, I
have nothing but the most kind-
ly feeling. I appieeiate the j
fact that this is a free |
country, and that in voting
against me you did nothing more
than exercise the sacred rights
of American citizenship.
Again thanking one and all, and
assuring you there is no malice
in my make up, I am
Respectfully,
Gnss L. Ladd.
Football Boys Off tuize
Last Thursday afternoon the
high school boys met and com-
pleted the organization of their
football team for the coming
year. Last year football was
born, so to speak in the Deport
High School. None of the boys
knew anything about it; only
one or two of them having seen
a game before. Besides this,
the team was not organized un
til long after school had opened.
Considering all this the team
made a very good showing last
year. With all of last year’s men
back and many new ones to
choose from, the prospect for a
first class high school football
team is bright.
At the meeting last Thursday
officers were selected and neces-
sary material ordered for the
players. John Webb, a last
yew’s veteran, wee chosen cep-
tain. Jobn played good ball at
’the end last year, and should
prove a worthy leader for his
team this year. Fred Shuman
was elected treasurer of the
team, J. M. (Mack) Grant was
elected manager, and Lloyd
Combs coach. Within a week or
ten days Manager Grant hopes
to be able to report a complete
schedule of eight or ten games
with high school teams close by
Actual practice began the first
of the week, and Coach Combs
reported good material out. All
the players are taking a live in
terest in the work, which is the
most important asset to the
making of a good football team.

We have the goods and we own them right, always do, that is why
we always undersell all our competitors alike. For the last two years
we gave you the Correct dope on the market and advised you to buy
before every advance; that information we always received on the

we offered you this merchandise before the new prices came. This
information was worth thousands of dollars to us and was worth lots
to you, we paid for this, it cost you nothing, that is one form of bet-
ter service that we give to our customers. Now there has been a
small drop in some of the markets aftd we are in position as always
to take advantage of these drops by having offices at the fountain
head of all markets. We are now in position to sell better merchan-
dise for less money than other stores paid, hence better service to
our customers again. The many, many compliments we are receiv-
ing every day thru out our Millinery and Ready-to-Wear section of
course, makes us happy in the fact that our customers do appreciate

these good things for our folks who are entitled to the best. That’s
why we save you from $5 to $10 on every Ladies suit and dress that
