Folks don't get the idea into
your head that some merchants
in Bartlett don't need your
trade because they do not ad-
vertise. This is gratis.
A man in Canada says he was
the owner of the bull that chased
young George Young the Cata-
llna swimmer into a pond and
forced him to learn to swim. Al
so that may be will sue for part
of the $25000 prize money.
Come to Bartlett to trade and
when you come look up the ad
vertisers those who appreciate
the local paper regardless of
what they think of its editor
for he has a few enemies thank
the Lord.
Tattooing of lips in a perman-
ent "Cupid's bow" is reported a
new fad in California its chief
recommendation being that it
saves time in the frequent use
of lipstick. But who knows that
any young woman wants to save
time she employs that way?
Of Course if President Cool-
aisSMM-idge. js not to be -president for
another four years the govern-
b Tllntlf "UTlll Tlfllffl n rrni- GiiviriV-lTT
to run the country instead of
secretary Mellon unless they
lect him president in his own
fiffht.
The moral atmosphere of
jjpBartlett is purer today than
"perhaps in the history of the
vtown we all love. The writer
' cannot refrain from noting the
many meetings of various kinds
Tield here to advance the civic
attractiveness and the often re-
peated expression "make Bart-
lett a better nlace in which to
live" by promoting public en-
terprises planting (more trees.
and cleaning off the rubbish.
But during the past few weeks
a messenger of the Master's
cause in the person of Bro. Esk-
. "ridge has invaded the town and
by his admonition made Bart-
lett a better place to live in the
true sense for which we all
should be thankful.

OLDEST MAN IN AMERICA
RESIDES AT CAMERON
Cameron Tex. March 9.
"Uncle Charlie" Young pioneer
Cameron resident the oldest
citizen of Cameron is said to be
one of the oldest men living in
America having reached the
age of 105. He was 14 years
old when the Alamo fell.
"Uncle Charlie" has had a
checkered career and carries the
scars of nine! bullet wounds hav-
ing been through Indian fights
having actively worked with
cattle been in the Califorina
rush and having served as .guide
He was born in the West Indies
and came to Texas at an early
age. Taking up with the In
dians he learned their language
adding it and English to his
West Indian tribe language.
His West Indian name was Car-
dilis De Cea Cardlibis Civia.
He now tells very interesting-
ly of having worked with cattle
in long gone days having earn-
ed $120 a month instead of the
usual 535 for hands because of
his shrewdness and general
utility. He helped drive 2400
head of cattle to Chicago from
San Antonio and on one of his
drives to Chicago he arrived to
see the flag at half mast in
mourning for the death of Pres-
ident Lincoln.
He was a guide for General
McKenzie and was sent out to
learn the fate of General Cus-
ter. He was shot down but his
life was saved by the Indian
squaws when he spoke their lan
guage. The following day Mc
Kenzie fell upon the Indian
camp killed all in sight and took
his guide to an army hospital
for treatment.
Uncle pharlie has remained
single all these years and he is
now on the county farm having
out-lived three generations of
the Adams family a pioneer
family here which always be-
friended him and kept him in
their household.
No sooner had we found em-
ancipation from halitosis than
another clever advertisemenl
writer terrifies us with fear of
comedones. And if you don't
know comedones is the scienti-
fic name for blackheads.
An Alabama man is reported
to have tried in vain to commit
suicide. He should have bor-
rowed a drink of moonshine or
walked carelessly across the
street.
A fellow named Drinkwater
has been arrested in Houston
for violation of the prohibition
act which convinces us there is
nothing in a name.

TEER URGES PASSAGE
OF TOBACCO TAX
Financial needs of the various
state educational and eleemsoy-
nary institutions and state de-
partments for the next bienni-
um total $55000000. That is
the aggregate asked for in bud-
gets requested by these differ-
ent departments according to
Claud Teer chairman of the
house appropriations committee
The board of control has made
recommendations totaling $37-
000000 to the appropriations
committee. The expected rev-
enue of the state for the next
biennium will be $40157000.
Two years ago the legislature
made appropriations totaling
$38000000.
Meeting needs estimated at
$5000000 with an expected
revenue of $40157000 is the
problem that faces the appro-
priations committee that will
begin its work after the ad-
journment of the present reg-
ular session. The general ap-
propriations bill will be consid-
ered in the called session which
will convene either April 15 or
May 1.
Representative Teer has urg-
ed his colleagues in the house
to pass the tobacco tax. He
has won the first step in his
plea since the house has en-
grossed the measure which if
enacted into law will place $6-
000000 in supplemental revenue
in the school fund of Texas.
Failure to pass even a two-
cent gasoline tax recommended
by Governor Moody will create
a deficit for Texas amounting
to $69000d0 Mr. Teer pointed
out. Here is Mr. Teer's analy-
sis :
Appropriating $37000000 out
of the estimated $40157000 in
anticipated revenues a cash bal-
ance of $2400000 will be left in
the treasury. Cash on hand at
the beginning of the biennium
is $1800000 which with 25 per
cent of a two-cent gasoline tax
yielding $2600000 will leave a
cash balance of $6809000.
Last week the house appro-
priated $3500000 to cover
emergencies and deficiencies and
probably $2500000 will be ap-
propriated each year for the
schools of Texas. Meeting all
demands on the treasury Mr.
Teer estimates that the state
will have a deficiency of $4-
709000. This deficiency could be elim-
inated bv raising the ad valorem
tax from 23 back to 35 cents
Teer said. Some opposition has
been expressed to raising the ad
valorem state tax if it can be
avoided. This is the problem
jfor the legislature to work out
tne appropriation c n a i r m a n
pointed out.
Whether the house will finally
pass the tobacco tax is problem-
atical. The vote on engross-
ment was 67 to 41. Proponents
can bring up the measure out of
regular order on suspension of
the rules which requires a two-
thjrdfc. fcote of the house. In
view of the opposition to the
measure this will hardly be
probable or possible. Austin
American.
IT TAKES MONEY TO
BUILD ROADS
State Highway Commissioner
Cone Johnson says it will take
$2000000000 to improve the
50000 miles of state highway
properly. A two cent gasoline
tax according to the Tyler states
man will not provide the neces-
sary revenue. This is the road
building age and it takes money
to build roads and maintain
them. Austin American.
CUT WORMS ATTACK.
Jonah March 8. The cut
worms have ruined what appear
ed to be fine prospects for ex-
cellent early gardens in this vi-
cinity. Practically all cabbage
onions and English peas have
Jbeen destroyed. Some farmers
fear that the early corn will
suffer the same consequences.
"Efficiency is the American
girl's long suit" says an Eng-
lish observer. Well all we can
say after most careful observa
tion she doesn't wear it often;
on the street at least.
