The Mexican war has dwindled
to a sort of eating contest. The*
“mediators” are eating, drinking
and enjoying life generally at
Niagra Fulls, while the American
navy and army are not doing
much but eat in their various
positions near and in Mexico.
Uncle Sam is the easiest nation
on earth to la* systematically
"worked” by a lesser one.
Although it is some time yet
before the primaries, permit the
Star Courier to advise its read-
ers and friends that this paper
is strictly, absolutely, unquali-
fiedly, eternally, everlastingly
and irrevokably opposed to Tom
W. Perkins of McKinney for
Congress, or any other office in
the gift of the people, and does
not care a continental whoop who
knows it.

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEWPOINT.
Take the optimism away from
the Star-Courier man and there
would be little left, eyen though
weighs 205 pounds at the
present writing. Just now it
seems to us that the merchants
of Plano and the people of the
surrounding community have
-every reason to be happy and
rejoice at the Mattering condi
lions which surround us. There
has been sufficient dry weather
to enable most of the farmers to
catch up with their work, which
•was so seriously hampered by
the constant rains of a few
weeks ago, and now just at the
psycologieal moment, as it were,
A I we are blessed with just the
** ’rtjnt of rain to carry the crops
';t * , m, overVur a few weeks, as well as
place the soil, which had already
begun to dry out and get as hard
as a rock, metaphorically speak-
ing, in the proper condition for
working. We cannot, for the life
of us, see why there should not
be prosperity in big chunks for
all of us when the fall days roll
arou nd.
These things should cause us
to realize more fully than over
that there is a Higher Being who
knows what is best for us: and
to Him we should give the praise
A Van Alstyne citizen made a
trip to Dallas the other day in
his automobile and came back
ripping Plano up the back about
the bad roads in that vicinity.
Hi* said when he started to Dal-
las he expected to find the roads
something like they are here hut
found himself very much mis-
taken when he got into the Plano
country. It was something
tierce, he said, the roads seemed
not to have had t he slightest at-
tention. Van Alstyne Leader.
The gentleman was probably
justified in his condemnation.

position developed that it was
thought best to call it off rather

dent defeat on our hands. Other
means are now under considera-
tion to improve the roads in this
community, and we trust that
ore long Plano may not be the
just cause for such undesirable
advertising as the Loader’s edi
to rial. At present, however, it
is probably true that the roads
around Plano are the worst bo
tween Van Alstyne and Dallas.

Our community was sadly
shocked Sunday morning about
7 o'clock to hear the report that
Will E. Cowan had shot himself
with a 38-caliber pistol. Family
troubles and business worries
are said to be the cause of this
rash act. He left a note stating
that his heart was broken and
that he was in trouble and was
going to end it all. He was a
lawyer and real estate man. He
asked God’s blessing on his aged
father and also requested that he
take good care of Will’s wife and
little sons. Will was born in
Greenville, Nevada, and when
about ten years old he moved
with his parents here. He was
about 30 years of age. He leaves
a wife and two small sons, from
whom he had been separated for
several months. He also leaves
a father and sister and many rel-
atives to mourn his untimely end.

The Nice Rain of Tuesday
Came “in the nick of time” for the corn, it is also an advantage to
everything else. Indications now are that Old Collin County, and
especially the Plano section thereof, will see an abundant harvest
along most lines, and that there will be some money, after all, for
most of the luxuries of life and all of its necessities.

Former Sufferers from Constipation Now
Improved Without Taking Unpleas-
ant Calomel.
Many, many thousands of peo-
ple who formerly suffered from
constipation are delighted with
the relief brought them by tak-
ing Dodson’s Liver Tone instead
of disagreeable and often dan-
gerous calomel.
Calomel is a poison, a form of
mercury, dangerous to many
people and causing unpleasant
after-effects for nearly everyone
who tries it.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is rec-
ommended as a perfectly safe
and reliable remedy to take the
place of calomel. This is exact-
ly what it is made for and has
been made for ever since the
first bottle was put up and sold.
It is widely imitated. So be
careful to get the original.
Dodson's Liver Tone is sold
and guaranteed by Allen Bros,
who will refund purchase price
(50c) instantly with a smile if you
are in any way dissatisfied.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a palat-
able vegetable liquid. Its action
is easy and natural, with no
gripe, no pain, and the after ef-
fects are agreeable. Dodson’s
Liver Tone does not interfere
with your regular duties, habits
and diet, and builds and strength-
ens instead of weakening you or
“knocking you all out” for days,
as calomel and strong purgatives
so often do. Dodson’s rnay do
for you what it has for all these
other thousands of happy people.
Summer-Weight Clothing
is very popular now, and we can supply you with the very latest
in all these, including Palm Beach in all its varieties. A cordial
invitation is extended to you to visit this store and see the full
stock which awaits your pleasure.

‘The Place Where Most People Trade” Plano, Texas
The little village of Noailhac,
France, built under the sheltering
wing of the ancient castle of the
ilukes of Noailles, is threatened with
extinction. Already a neighboring
hamlet a little higher up tl.e moun-
tain side on which it is perched has
Keen wiped out “It is the will of
God,” the villages say, and know that
no mortal means can save their home
place from ruin. For the mountain
that hangs over Noailhae is moving
onwards, and os it progresses on its
Journey the paltry erections of man
in its path are swept aside as if built
of straw and paper.

GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS.
What surely must be one of tho
most remarkable government publi-
cations on record has just, been sol-
emnly issued in France. Adorned
with a pale yellow cover, it deals with
a certain military matter and its
title is “Administration et combata-.
bilite des corps de troupe. Service
de L’habillement.” What makes this
book undoubtedly unique, however,
is that the whole of the text, which
deals with an alteration in the price
of zouave’s underwear, contains not
quite five times as many words as
the title.
An,. A. .-.A.,ir.inio, nLliu^
lo an exceedingly trivial matter, are
considered fnil justification for the
issue of a government pub lira toon,
neatly bound and stitched, with
numbered pages and an orthodox
title pago.
