Answers Death Call

After a Ionic illness with a
complication of diseases, M. W.
Wood,, aged 70 years, died at his

his remains were taken to Hix
for burial Friday, Revs. M. C.
Bishop and W. S. Lackey con-
cting the funeral services at
the family home here and Rev.
Bishop at the grave at Hix.
Deceased was a gallant Confed-
erate soldier, and served through-
lout the four years of > the war,
after which he located in Fayette
; county, coming from there here
1 many years ago and settling on
I the ranch he owned at his death
near Cedar Creek in the Hix
community, where he resided
until a few years ago, when lie
moved to town.
Wash Wood was a good man, ¡1
kind neighbor, devoted father
and husband, and in his death
our community has lost a good
citizen, Ins family a loving parent,
and his coin rades a sincere friend.
He haves to mourn his demise a
heartbroken wife, two daughters,
Mrs. Myrtle O'Harrell of New
IOrleans, La., and Miss Lela
j Wood, teaching in the Oakwoods
school; eight sons, F. M. Wood,
an attorney of Leesville, La. -.Polk,
of lleno, Pa.; Charlie, Harry,
Darr and Setli of this city; John,
with a Houston bide company,
and Cleave, with a Dallas hide
company, to whom we extend
our sincere condolence in their
sail hour of affliction.
Farm Dairying is a Profitable Industry
and is Growing Popular with Farmers
The farmers of this community are beginning fast to real-
ize the advantage and profitableness of FARM DAIRYING,
and are eacfo year devoting more of their time and attention to
this important industry, as is evidenced by the large number
of Cream Checks that we cash for our farmer patrons. These
checks range in amounts all the way from $7.00 to $25.00. This
means from $84.00 to $8(X).00.00 ]>er year additional income to
these farmers who sell cream, besides a Rood profit they de-
rive also fiom the sale of hogs, chickens and eggs which are
raised and produced on their farms by the feeding of the milk
separated from the cream.
It is an undisputed fact that FARM DAIRYING pays, and this bank
would like to advise and encourage all farmers to give this industry more
of their attention this year. NOW íh the time to begin planning, as this
industry requires plenty of good feed, all of which can be produced upon
the farm by every farmer who will put forth the effort.
The Officers of this bank are ready and willing to aid and assist all
deserving farmers to advance their farming interests, and want them to
call on us whenever we cali be of service.

Mrs. Janacek, wife of Joe
Janacek, living three miles from
town on the Deanville rond, died
Monday and her remains wore
brought here Tuesday and fu-
neral services held. at the Cath-
olic church, Father lvunc officia-
ting. after which interment took
place in the cemetery adjoining

woman, a devoted mother, and
tier death is a sad blow to her
family and relatives.
The Benefits of Organization
With so many intelligent far
mers in Kurleson county, many
of foreign blood who n re famous
as expert market jrardeners. it
seems strange no stops are at-
tempted toward the organization
of an effective truck association.
This is what is building up East
Texas and is rapidly making it
the garden spot of Texas. The
soil here is equally adapted to
the growing of fruits and vege-
tables, and these accessories to
the general farm work furnish
ready money pending maturity
of what is misnamed the money
crop, which is cotton, with its
unstable prices as they are jug
gled by spinners and specula
tors. Texas needs cotton mills
as much as it does canning fac
¡ torios. This can be accomplish-
; ed only by organization and com-
petent management. If we wait
for outside capital to bring us
J these things it will benefit the
¡consumer but little and continue
low prices for the grower, for
industries controlled by inonop-
I
oly will be governed by monop-
olistic prices, no matter where
located. We must do it ourselves.
The valuable secret of
dry cleaning is now open
to all housewives. Dry clean-
ing is Just washing in gasolina
to which ha* been added Putnam
Dry-Cleaner—a aoap like aubatance.
The resulta are wonder-
ful— noehrinking, no In-
jury to color or fabric and
the cleaning billa are cut
to almost nothing. Uae
it for ailka,gloves, laces,
dress goods and all ma-
terials liable to be injured
by water washing. We
recommend and guaran-
tee Putnam Dry-Cleaner.
Try a 25c bottle.

There is a Real Difference
Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.
