It 'takes little courage
And a little self-control.
And seme grim determination
If you want to reach the goal,
; takes a deal of striving
a firm and stern-set chin,
what the battle
you're really out to win.
no easy path to glory
s’s no rosy road to fame,
however we may view it
1iriK»4Bpie parlcr game.
Bat Its prises call for fighting
For endurance and for grit,
For a rugged disposition
And a “don’t-know-when-tc-quit”
You mus^takc a blew, cr give one
You must risk and you must less
And expect that in the struggle
You will suffer a bruise.
But you mustn’t wince or falter
If a fight you once begin.
Be a man and face the battle—
That’s the only way to win.

which, in addition to those enumer-

of fine quality upholstery and trim
in every part of the car.
The DeSoto DeLuxe Eight, finest
product to bear this far-famed
name, came in for more than its j
share of improving and refining, ac-
cording to Mr. Peed’s analysis. Thir-
ty-three distinct improvements and

Third Campaign Success
Mr. Range’s third campaign
against low cotton prices, conduct-
ed after 1896. was a great success.
“Active on the bull side of the
market.” relates the same chron-
icler. "he was always preaching
higher prices. He had not a small
part in obtaining for the cotton
producers of the South 10c ih 1900
and 16c in 1906.
“Honest and upright, eminently
just and fair in his dealings, his
charity was great and he was gen-
erally beloved and esteemed."
An interesting fact disclosed in
Dallas Tuesday by Julius Runge,
attorney, is that the silver set
given his father is still in the
passession of the family. His
mother, the widow of Mr. Runge.
Sr., now lives in Austin.

Since the introduction of these
models with their distinctive im-
provements and refinements in ap-
pearance and performance, retail
deliveries by DeScto dealers have
shown a sharp upward trend. This
has been rising for a number of
weeks and continues in that direc-
tion, according to the sales manager.
Reports from dealers, Mr. Peed
states, indicate that the improve-
ments in the DeSoto Six and Eight
have stimulated public interest in
‘these lines of motor cars and have
been responsible for swinging an
ever increasing number of motor car j
buyers to the De Soto fo .dl

terms, being re-elected only the
day before his death.
