The habit of boys riding bicy-
cles and holding on to fast mov-
ing automobiles should be prohi-
bited before some frightful ac-
cidents takes place that will
cause the law to take action.
Almost every day we see this
going on in the city without
restriction, wisely remarks the

Your punish
ment has been asssessed by the
jury as confinement in the state
penitentiary at hard labor for a
period of forty years. The evU
dence showed, and the "verdict
was, that you possessed a heart
devoid of parental love, a heart
regardless of social duty and fa-
tally bent on mischief. You have
been, tried and convicted of the
brutal assassination of your own
father without cause or provo-
cation. But the all-wise, all-
merciful, omnipotent God who
owiis and 'controls the universe
or world and holds this mighty
world in the palm of His mighty
hand, has placed tongues in
trees, books in running brooks,
sermons in stones and good in
everything. There is good in
you, my boy. I hope you will
kinffle the little flickering sfiark
and in' your future life blow it
into a living flame. And when-h
these children of this earth are
summoned before the bar of
God, the court trusts that you
will not be among them con-
demned to everlasting death".

thus you burn ioubles, fast as

breeak your heart. The autoj
is a precious boon, tne great-
est thing beneath the moon, if
you, as down the street you

Are you a patriotic American Citizen?
THIS,, is the time to prove
whether you are, or are not, a
patriotic American citizen. Some '
men are patriotic but not yet
American citizens; they love this
land; as intensely as if they ha$
been born here. Some men are
American citizens who are not
patriotic; t he y 'r e obstructing,
rather than helping the nation. a,t

who are neither patriotic or Ameri-
can we'll leave them out.

who. are able -to do none of these,
can serve in factory, store,, office,

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
LAW TO BE ATTACKED.
Austin, Texas, June 25; Cer-
tain owners of automobiles of
Austin have employed R. B.
Humphrey as attorney, to at-
tack the constitutionality of. the
law creating the new State high-
way commission. The act is be
tested on the ground that it is
discriminatory in that it levies
a tax upon a special class of ve-
hicles, that is, automobiles while,
horao drawn vehicles are not in-
cluded within its provisions. It
will also be contended in the
.proposed suit that the registra-
tion fee is a tax and is not au-
thorized under the constitution.

ed with the service and that ho

and lie vas" of the opinion that
this hope would be realized in
the near future.

WING into line with the sqirit of Springtime;
take a tip from old Mother Mature.
Maybe your house would look better with a coat"
of .'paint; or possibly the fence, outbuilding "or
:creens seem a -little dingy in the.bright spring
sunshine. How about your floors?J2A;re";tliey
showing heel marks? And hassomeMfthe
furniture been scratched up?
Painting or varnishing will not only beautify, it
will make the wood last so much longer that
it's actually cheaper to paint than not. Paint
fills';the cracks arid holes where germs lurk,
makes for sanitation. SprTng calls for Paint.
Heed the call of Spriug!
The Best Place to Buy Paint
We have, all kinds of, paints, varnishes Sand
brushes, at the most reasonable prices. Drop
