THE MOUNTAIN EAGLE, SIERRA BLANCA,TEXAS,FEBRUARY iiO, 1
Realizing His Profit*
He walked Into a brokerage office
several months ago, deposited $10,000
and bought some stocks on the firm's
advice. No one saw him until lately
when he walked in again and asked
how much profit he had.
"Twenty thousand dollars, or there-
abouts," replied one of the partners,
after the account had been checked
up.
"Sell my stocks and give me my prof-
Its In cash," the customer directed,
after a few minutes.
As soon as the orders could be exe-
cuted and a messenger returned from
the bank, the partner counted out to
him twenty one-thousand-dollar notes
and some odd bills and change. He
stuffed the money In his wallet and sat
down. Then, after he had enjoyed for
half an hour the sensation of carrying
his profits In his clothes, he pulled out
the money, linnded It back to the part-
ner, and said:
"Buy all those stocks back again'"
—Wall Street Journal.
Synthetic fee Appears
Synthetic Ice Is made In New York
and has been shown In Boston as one
of the ultra modern novelMes, an Indi-
cation of what the future may bring
Into the American hctne. It Is carbon
dioxide solidified, chemically It Is only
C02, used as gus In the soda fountain
and taken In your cooling drink on a
hot day. It Is heralded as the solu-
tion of all questions pertaining to ar-
tificial refrigeration, lasts much longer
than Ice, leaves no moisture when
gone. A small piece In a cylindrical
carton will give a North pole tempera-
ture to the Ice box for ten hours, be-
ing 142 degrees colder than real ice,
and a piece dropped Into a glass of
water will make It boil, throw oft
steam, while, In fact, the dry ice Is be-
ing coated with real Ice it freezes
from the disturbed water.—Ohio State
Journal.

THE SOAP WEED

Sierra Blanca Public Schools, Sierra Blanca, Texas, February 26,1926
We now have our Ocean Wave
up and everyone is enjoying it
very much; however it makes
quite a few of us sick. We thanlr
Mr. Prince Love for his help in
putting up the Ocean Wave. All
the "children" of the town are
welcome to take a ride on the new
Ocean Wave.
The assembly was opened Fri-
day morning, Feb. 19, with the
song "Columbia the Gem of the
Ocean." This was followed by a
few remarks by Mrs. Ed Love.
A very good talk was given by
Mr. Den man on the poem "Ex-
celcior."
The assembly opened Monday,
Feb. 22 with the song "America."
A few remarks were then made
by Mr. W. B. Denman. This
was followed by the song
"Columbia the Gem of the
Ocean.'' This was followed by
a few remarks on the life of
George Washington. Mr. Den-
man then told us the whole life
of Washington.

The Real Culprit
The du>;k was kmI lici imr over the
little market town when Taminas Mac-
i'hurson emerged from the inn door,
cranked up his car, and, slightly >ver-
shootlng the mark, planted himself
solemnly In the back seat. The watch-
ful village policeman approached lii.a
and said in kindly tones: "Noo, Tam-
mas, ye'll need to come oot of that,
ye're nae tit to drive." "Mind yer
aln business." was the rejoinder, and
then In magisterial tones Tammas pro-
ceeded: "It would suit ye better to
catch the ciilel that's stolen my driv-
ing wheel."—Argonaut.
