HERE COMES THE NEW YEAR
That in itself is not particularly im-
portant, save as most people look upon
it as the beginning of better things—of
the turning over of a new sheet.
So far as we are concerned, it only
means going ahead with the business
of making our products better.

thoroughly enjoyed by thou-
sands of people over the coun-
try as was evidenced by the
scores of telegrams received by
the entertainers. Quite a numb-
er of Mineola people were listen

the program.
Water Meters Saving
The Ci ty Money
No one any longer disputes
the fact that the city malde a
good investment when it in-
stalled water meters. The city
is now 85 per cent metered and
an example of the saving is
shown by a comparison of the
water pumping bill of Decembei
last year and December thir
year. Last year the city paid
9627.00 for pumping water,
while this past month the pump
ing bill only amounted to $350.
We did not quite use that,
amount, but $350 is the mini-
mum and the city has to pay
that amount whether the water
is pumped or not. The revenue
to the city from water consum
ers this December was practical
iy the same as was received last
December, we have a few mo o
users of water now than we had
then. Thus it can be se^n that
under the old system of consum-
ers being on a flat rate as much
water was wasted as was used,
now that everyone is metered
people are more careful about
wasting water.

Did you ever stop to consider the cost of doing with-
out HEALTH?
We all admit the necessity of good health, but how
mfiiiy of us give the matter sufficient thought to realize
the cost of poor health.
Frankly, we should be just as much concerned about
keeping our bodies in perfect running order as we* are
about looking to the welfare of our automobiles. If we
neglect them, they soon become big troubles, and then we
bgin to pay. Most of us have our cars looked over oc-
casionally to prevent that very thing.
How many of us show the same consideration for out
bodies? Do we care for tha little troubles as they arise
or do we wait until they become serious? Strange, isn't
it. that we seldom count, the cost of neglected HEALTH?
We must absolutely get away from the idea that we
cannot afford to care for our health. Let us rather be
convinced that the cost of ill health is far more expen-
sive than going to the Chiropractor to get well and keep
well. The one incomparable gift you possess is your
health. You cannot afford to do without it. Let us _ -•
explain more fully why Chiropractic is the better way^W^P
fcealh.—Consultation is free. ,

Founder of Town of Og- Mallory Brothers I
burn Here Wednesday j New Grocery
We had the pleasure of meet-
ing M[r. J. W. Ogburn of Dallas
in Mineola last Wednesday. Mr.
Ogburn is a former citizen of
Wood county and still holds
some interests in this county.
He is the founder of the tow i
of Ogburn and was the oriirina1
owner of the then famous Og-
burn orchard. Mr. Ogburn says
the future was never brighter
for the orchardist than it is to-
day, he says no young man car
possibly make a mistake by com
ino- to East Texas and planting
an orchard. He savs that that
is the thing he himself would dv
if he were a younger mar:. Mr
Ogburn is a great booster foi
this section of Texas not with
standing the fact that he is now
a resident of Dallas.
Mallory Bros, have just about
gotten straightened out in their
.new home on West Broad street
Their elegant new building de-
signed especially for a grocery
and market meets every require
merit for a first class up-to-
date store. The building is
40x125 feet and is equipped
with every modern convenience.
Mallory Bros, are taking a just
pride in their store and they
extend everyone an invitation
to call and look their store over.
They are contemplating having
a formal opening in the very
near future at which they will
have special demonstrators here
for the purpose of demonstrat-
ing the different lines of mer-
chandise handled by them.
