Let’s Reciprocate
Let’s Co-operate
Laying aside the many conveniences and
saving advantages of a bank account, did you ever
stop to consider the prestige it would give you
should you ever want to borrow some money.
Don’t you suppose that the bank would feel
more like making you a loan if you were in the
habit of keeping a deposit at the bank.
You will agree this is reasonable and although
you may be in no need of a loan now you may
need a little financial assistance sometime. You
vyill find this bank always willing to stand by you
if you will stand by the bank.
That’s a simple proposition of Reciprocity and
Go-operation, that’s all. Gome to see us.

Burleson Draws Line Against
Liquor in Orders Covering
Fourth Class.
xS
Washington, May 10.— Fourth
class postmasters must be able
to read, to count accurately the
money they receive, to measure
the oil cloth on the floors of their
offices and to write at least a
decipherable letter once in a
while, if they are taken under
the wing of the civil service.
In effect, they must have - a
reasonable understanding of
“readin’, ‘ritin’ and ‘rithmetic,”
according to regulations issued
today by the Postoffice Depart-
ment.
Persons to take the civil ser-
vice examinations must be a citi-
zen of the United States over 21
’ old and must reside in the
community served by the office
he aspires to fill. No one will be
eligible who is crazy, an ex-
convict, who hWs been dishonor-
ably discharged from the army
or navy or who is disposed, even
occasionally, to reduce the visible
supply of strong drinks.
All examinations will be con-
ducted by the Civil Service Com-
mission and will not be for ap-
pointment generally, but for a
particular office. The eligibility
for appointment after examina-
tion will be for one year only
except in special instances. The
examinations will not be severe,
but will be sufficient to test the
business capacity of'tho appli-
cants.
Dallas County Cotton Production.
C. S. Nows Service.
The total number of bales of
cotton ginned, in Dallas county
from the crops of 1912 is 81,225,
according to a report Which has
just beet*issued by the Federal
Census Department. This total
excludes linters and the depart-
ment counts round bales as half
bales. The total production of
Dallas county in 1911 was 44,846
bales and 49,644 bales in 1910.
The total production of Texas in
1912 was 4,645,172 bales which is
the largest production in history.
The crops of 1911 and 1910 were
4,107,152 and 5,949,968 bales res-
pectively.
No values have been announc-
ed on the Texas cotton crop, but
the large yield in the state was,
in a measure, offset by th6 partiul
failure in other portions of the
south which has had a tendency
to keep up prices.
Notice to Stock Oweners
Dr. W. T. Chrisman, dean of
Southwestern Veterinary Col-
lege, will be in,Carrrollton on the
fourth Saturday afternoon of

EIGHT-STORY JAIL
FOR DALLAS COUNTY
Commissioners Appro/e Plans
For Building New Structure
to Cost $400,000
Plans for an eight-story jail
and Criminal Courts Building
that, will resem ble in outer design
the ffiost modern type of office
building were tentatively approv
ed Wednesday by Dallas County
Commission’s Court. Architect
H. A. Overbeck estimated the
cost of the structure, completely
equipped for all its purposes, at
$400,000, which was higher than
the Commissioners had intended
the building to cost, but they
declared no cost is too great if
Dallas county is to be given an
entirely modern jail.
The majority of the Commis-
sioners’ Court was in favor of
finally approving the plans, but
it was decided to have test Qf pt Wyrth ar0 visitinK
drilled to determine what will be
necessary to secure an adequate
foundation, so the final approval
may cover , an estimate based
upon all probable cost. These
test drills were made yesterday
on the lot opposite the northwest
corner of the court house and it
is probable that the plans will be
approved and bids for construc-
tion of the building will be ad-
vertised for in the next week or
ten days.

hearty welcome, taking them for
an automobile ride over the city

meeting was called at the court
house tonight and Mr. Turner
stated’ that, although the fran-
chise allows him eighteen months
to build the line he expected to

pleased with the outlook for good
business in this section and
enthusiasm shown by citizens.

Paint Wise
Is to paint when your property
needs it. Paint-foolish to wait
for the price to go-down.
But so many are foolish, they’ll
wait a good while.
The whole rise in the cost of a
job is 10 per cent. The first
year’s drop won’t be more than
half that, more likely a quarter.
Waiting for 5 percent, more
likely 1 J.
The average job (with DevoeJ
is $50: 5 percent, $2.50. Put it
off for $2.50? Guess not.
You think of that job as $10(1
So it is with inferior paint.
Paint Devoe; do it now, if your
property needs it.
