terprises as are any other legitimate
concerns Experiments come and go,
and the long felt want is often
supplied to last only a few weeks or
months and then go the way of all
feebleness, or else continue to exist
as a mere object of charity. But
when the advertiser comes to con
slider, in business way, such med

people there is absolutely nothing on

the money thus expended. And the
same conclusions are reached when
those butterfly creations, papers

The reason Vinol accomplishes
such surprising results is because
Vinol is a combination of the cura-

oil or grease.

The most that can be said of or
for Pat Garrett, the man who ac-

good stock in trade in Texas, but
that day is gone never to return.
That honor that finds glorification in

much sought after by the element

The Wills Point Chronicle says;
There is entirely too much politics
in the governing affairs of our
government. In one sense this is
true and in another it is not. The
main trouble is that We do not take
sufficient interest, as a people, in po-
htical matteps. We let bosses run
things ande trail on behind like the
string of kite. If the business in
teyests would line up with the lead
ing agricultural interests and put
some of the politicians on the shelf
for all time to, come it would mater
tally change the complexion of
things. Denison Herald Lack of
general interest is responsible for
machine rule" in Texas. If all the
people interested themselves more
in the matter of county, state and
national government several big
bosses would be permanently out of
a job. Issues should be considered
rather than the men offering for Of
fee.

too sacred a heritage to be turned

BoNI WILL START HOT FIGHT
Wife of Prince Helie De sagan il
Not Yet out of Her Legal
Troubles.

PARIS, July s.-Count Boni De Castel-
lane, whose former wife was married yes
terday in London to Prince Helie De Sagan,
the counts cousin. has opened what prom
ises to be a sensational legal fight for the
possession of his three children, the off
spring of his marriage with Miss Anna
Gould. The step by the count yesterday,
which has been generally misunderstood, is
merely a preliminary skirmish.
This was not a formal demand for the
custody of the children, but an aftermath
OF the removal last week by the court of
his son Jay from the residence of his
former wife at Versailles.
Maitre Bonnet, counsel for the count, yes
terday afternoon petitioned the court to
reindorse his clients right to retain Jay
temporarily on account of the child's ILL
ness and because of insufficient care he was
receiving at Versailles during the absence
of his mother.
Maitre Bonnet told the correspondent of
the Associated Press today that decided
move would be made in few days when he
would ask the court to give the custody
OF all the children to the count on the
ground the Princess De Sagan was not a
suitable protector fer them, insomuch as
she is under the complete domination and
control of Prince Helie De SRgRn. who Il
unworthy to hold the position of father 70
the children.
"As proof that Nine. Gould was COM
pletely dominated by the Prince De sagan
we will offer the action in travelling in
Italy. the Riviera, and to England in COM
pany with the Prince De Sagan before she
was married to him." Matre Bonnet de-
clared. THE case will proceed as soon as
the Princess De Sagan returns and an
nounces her readiness to defend her inter
