VOTERS WATCH BULLETIN
BOARD TILL LATE HOUR
More interest was manifested
in Saturday's election by the
people of this community than
for a number of years, although
there was little cheering as the
returns were placed upon a
large board prepnred for that
purpose across the street in
front of the Thompson Drug
Store Saturday night Due to a
very long ballot and the heaviest
vote ever polled in this precinct,
returns were slow, and it was
1:30 o'clock^ before the results of
the vote at Pattonville < ould be
tabulated.
Returns from the Deport box
were received at midnight; 489
votes were polled—the largest
within our history. Weather
was good and many women who
had never before exercised their
privilege in txjrressing a prefer-
ence for candidates offering for
office, visit'd the polls. Much
interest was manifested in the
returns for county and precinct
offices, and the crowd refused to
go home until it. was definitely
known who would Ire in the run-
off for weigher of this precinct.
K- VV. Phillips of Sumner, a
Wo.er resident of the Milton
community, was in Deport Sat.ur-
'tay and ordered Tile Tinvjs

friends in the county until Sept-
ember, when Mrs. Kerbow will
return to Houston, where she
teaches, and Miss France will re-
turn to the university at Austin
Hot Weather Discomforts
Routed by Proper Cosmetics
Why worry about the discomforts arising from ex-
tremely hot weather, sudden changes or other situ-
ations which attack the delicate outer tissues of
the skin? There’s no need to do it, if you get the
correct Cosmetics for your precaution and cure.
Sunburn, over-exposure to wind, and unruly skins
are easily helped with the many types of face pow-
ders, talcum powders, vanishing creams, and other
toilet articles to be purchased at this store.

DRY WEATHER CONTINUES
AND WATER SCARCE
Dry weather has continued
during the past week, but the
thermometer has not registod so
high this week hh on Wednesday
and Thursday of last week, when
readings were around 105. Water
is getting scarce in many places
and people are hauling. Great
care should be exercised in the
source of drinking water, and to
boil it would be the safe plan.
There are now a number of cases
of typhoid fever scattered over
this section, and their source
should be located and eliminated.
Stock water is also getting low
in many places. Cotton is stand-
ing up remarkably well, consid-
ering the hot winds.
ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY
EARLY MONDAY MORN’NG
Mr. and Mrs. John Webb of
Grand Prairie, drove over to
Deport Sunday to spend the day
with home folks. Leaving here
at 4 o’clock Monday morning for
the return trip, their car, a Ford
coupe, went into the ditch before
reaching Paris, and they notified
a garage and continued their
•lurney on the Red Ball. John
suffered a gash over the eye and
Mrs. Webb had an arm bruised.
One wheel of the car was Rusted
and the top damaged. A pet dog
crawling into Mr. Webb’s lap
while he was at the wheel is said
to have caused the accident.
As you receive money as
a reward for your ser-
vices, whether you get it
daily, weekly or month-
ly, make it a habit to put
a part of it in a Savings
Account. Therewill come
a day in your life, soon-
er or later, when the
possession of money will mean the differ-
ence between success failure.
If you have saved, have the money when
you need it, then you can take advantage
of opportunity when it is open.
