DISTINGUISHED ALZAFAR
SHRINERS ARE ENTERTAINED
SylvaD Long, Imperial Potentate,
Robert Burns, ex-imperial Potentate,
Robert Michel and P. D. Mathis, of
Alzafar Temple, SaD Antonio, were en-
tertained at the Harbor City Club
house last Sunday by the Aransas
Bass' Shriners’ Social Club. The dis-
tinguished visitors were taken a
launch ride to Port Aransas in the
forenoon, returning in time to gorge
on yellow-legged chicken for luncheon.
Later in the day all engaged in a de-
lightful dip in the bay where they
disported like school boys after which
they were regaled with fried macker-
el and oysters.
Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Wiedermann and
Mr. and Mrs. B. Wiedermann, of San
Antonio, aiid Mr. and Mrs. C. W.
Holmes, of this city, were hosts to
the visitors until the arrival of other
members of the Club when Shiek Louie
Donnan proceeded to do the honors.
The party dispersed about 8 o’clock
but before doing so the visitors ex-
pressed themselves as more than de-
lighted with their entertainment and
rhapsodied of the beauties of the Club
house and the bathing beach.
The Wiedermann’s who had been va-
cating there for some weeks returned
home Monday.
SHRINERS TO HAVE PICNIC
AND OYSTER ROAST
Monday is Labor Day and it will
be appropriately observed by the Ar-
ansas Pass Shriners’ Social Club with
a picnic and oyster roast at Nine Mile
Point.
At the Baptist Church
Rev. D. P. Airhart, pastor of the
Baptist church has returned from
Pleasanton, Tex., where he held suc-
cessful meetings, and will preach at
the Baptist church both morning and
evening next Sunday. The public is
invited to attend all services.
WHY PUT OFF LONGER
Having a monument or marker erected at the grave of departed loved ones.
This is our duty- as well as privilege, and when completed will afford more real joy and satisfac-
tion than anything we can do. It’s/ worth any sacrifice that we may make.
It is not necessary that this marker be elaborate or expensive, something nice, neat and plain that
with each rain is washed nice and clean.
We have on hand a very complete stock of both maikers and monuments, and would be glad you
call and look over same, or if you can not arrange to call, jjust drop us a card asking that we call
and show you through our line.
Never send your order for a monument away where you will have no come-back. We are here to
stay and will strive to please you.
Do not hesitate to write or call on us for any information pertaining to' our line.*

ing and evening at the Methodist

DIED
William Henry New
William Henry New, who died at
Goose Creek, Tex., July 14, after an
illness of about two weeks was the
father of Mrs. Marion Cole, of this
city. He was quite well known in
Aransas Pass and his numerous friends
will regret to learn that he has pass-
ed beyond. He was about 50 years
of age and is survived by g wife and
five children.
“Buck and Belle have arrived and
all parties doing fine’’ "was the sub-
stance of a message received Monday
by John T. Burt from Cameron, Tex.,
where Mrs. Burt is visiting her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. McLane. This
was to inform Mr. Burt that he was
the daddy of twins.
Similar events have occurred, in
other families and occasioned little
comment. It would have been so in
this instance had not Mr. Burt talked
too much about liis neighbor, E. A.
Gilbert who was visited with similar
honors last fall.
" Mr. Burt and Mr. Gilbert are neigh-
bors, between which there has always
been a strong spirit" of rivalry. When
one raised a good crop of cukes the
other immediately endeavored to ex-
cel] the next season. It was so with
cotton or other crops. I? there was
an increase in the family of one, the
other proceeded to catch up, but when
Mr. Gilbert took the lead with twins,
Mr. Burt threw' up his hands. A plenty
was more than enough and he said
the rivalry stopped right there.
But. then, “man proposes and God
disposes” and that is why Mr. Gil-
bert had the laugh on Mr. Burt.
They made Monday a gala day with
Mr. Burt setting up two soft drinks
to his friends where he had expected
to only set; up but one.
Both Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Burt are
proud of their “pairs” and while they
are stepping high, wide and handsome
over their honors they have mutually
agreed that .there will be no more
rivalry business.
COLLEGE OF INDUSTRIAL ART’S
(State College for Women)
The College of Industrial Arts offers the following advantages to
Texas girls: (1) a pleasant, heathful, and accessible location in
the State of Texas, (2) an unimpeachable moral and religious en-
vironment, (3) freedom from distracting internal and external in-
fluences which tend to lower the morale of the student body and
the value of the work of the college, (4) a standard! of living that
discourages extravagence, and promotes a democratic spirit .in keep-
ing with sound economy and with the best American traditions,
(5) courses of study that combine sound culture and accomplish-
ment with preparation for practical, useful living; that chiefly kee)>
in view the needs of the present and the future; and that are flex-
ible enough to allow, within safe limits, conformity with the apti-
tudes and inclinations of the individual student, (6) a faculty of
college and university trained specialists—men and women of ma-
turity, scholarship and demonstrated teaching ability, (7) an ad-
ministrative sytsem that develops initiative, resourcefulness, and self-
control on the part of its students, and fosters the highest ideals of
character and conduct.

cationaY training of the best quality, designed to develop mental

FACT
Evidence that can be verified.
Fact is what w.e want.
Opinion is not enough.
Opinions differ.
Here’s an Aransas Pass fact.
You can test it.
E. Green, shipbuilder, Houston St.,
says: “Several years ago I was down
with my back and my kidneys both-
ered me. There was sort of a dull
pain in my back continually and on
stooping over I had trouble in getting
up again. My kidneys acted irregu-
larly and the secretions were highly
colored and dull in passage. A friend
told me of Doan’s Kidney Pills so I
started their use. After talcing three
boxes of Doan’s my back was strong
and my kidneys acted regularly.”
Price 60e at all dealers. Don’t sim-
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Green had. Foster-Milburn MGo.,

THE SIMPLE LIFE
Simple living is not so much an
economic question £s it is a moral
questioin, the morality part relating to
the duty one owes to himself and
others to keep himself well in body,
soul and mind. That is the object
of simple living—not to save money.
The idea is to make a person’s brain
clear and clean, so he • will think
clear thoughts and take to clean living
A brain that is blackened by rich and.
luxurious living is very apt to be clog-
ged with passions and prejudices, with
selfishness and sordiness. Not always,
of course, hut that is the tendency.
A person can contaminate a great por-
tion of his spirit and come nighty near
destroying his faith in God, by eating
ali sorts of rich and expensive foods.
You may take a boy and feed him on
luxurious and seasoned diet, and his
future destiny is collapsed. Of course
some people will turn with ridicule
on the idea, and describe simple living:
as a boiled turnip and a glass of wat-
er, but simple living means an appetite
for simple things, that make for
health, work and a gentle spirit.
Last Call for Funds

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS:
We have now reached a depth of 1500 feet—a little less than
70.0 feet from our goal where we had a good oil 'showing. There never
was any intention of drilling well No. 3 until the hurricane of June
22 blew down our derrick. We had enough funds to reach 3,100 feet in
Well No. 2, and would have done so but for the misfortune caused by
the high wind. When^this happened we concluded the surest proposition
for the stockholders was to drill another well and develop the 18
foot oil rock we encountered at the 2,174 foot level in well No. 2,
but so much hard rock the past week has delayed our drilling. We
have done the best we can to get to this strata again. It will take
from $1,500 to $2,500 more to do it. Our plans were to shut down
August 31 indefinitely but this would be hard luck and poor business
while we are so close to reaching our objective. Therefore, we are t
making our last appeal to all stockholders to subscribe for two or
more shares which will be sold to you at the rate of two shares for $25.
This will provide us with enough funds to finish our well No. 3 to the
^ , depth indicated. WILL YOU HELP AND HELP QUICK? If we do not drill
all funds sent in on this appeal will be returned© This offer is open
only until the first $2,500 is subscribed. Send in your check for
two or more shares at once.
Our well is showing considerably more igas than any of the
other two wells and log is a good deal better, too.
Yours truly,
ARANSAS LIVE OAK RIDGE OIL CO.,
Aransas Pass, Texas. John Sigmund, President
