Protective Association Meets.

The Merchants Protective Associa-
ton held its regular monthly bust
ness meeting last night, bringing up
for discussion a number of plans for
the improvement of its system and the
increase of its sphere of action. A
committee appointed to report to the
city council on the matter of improv-
ing the efficiency OF the fire depart
ment Of Dallas was instructed by the
association to submit the following
recommendations at the next meeting
OF the city council: That the MEM
bership Of the fire department be
increased to 25 and that every fireman
be paid ST. for his service at a fire
where it becomes necessary to unreel
the apparatus and take active meas
ures to subdue the flames. After the
first two hours, il continued service is
required, he shall be paid 25 cents per
hour. Payments for fire services
should be made by the city, paid quar-
terly and the names of those entitled
to such payment should be subject to
the recommendation of the fire chief.

letter from Carl Fenton this week,
which contains some highly inter-
esting data concerning the work of
the Oregons basketball team, during
the time in which they played their
first SO games. From the time they
left Dallas until they played their
flftieth game in Santa Cruz, II weeks
and days elapsed during which time
they travelled 5000 miles. In so games
they scored 100 points to their oppon-
ents62l. The Oregons scored on 6O.9
per cent of the fouls called on their
opponents, who were able to score on
only 47.S per cent of the fouls. The
Oregons had 500 fouls called on them
and theopposing teams only $40. The
record of baskets thrown by each
man is as follows: Shaw 1874 bas-
kets to his opponents 80; Reed 40
to 90; Fenton 1874 to S5; Morton Sc to
54 G. Shaw 27 to 81; Savery 80 to 13

Can You Truth
fully Answer Yes?

During the past year have you been
absolutely satisfied with all your gro
ceries-your teas and coffee, your but
ter, canned goods and flavoring
extracts?
Can you truthfully answer yes?
These things are all within the con-
troll of the merchant, and as long as
painstaking care is exercised in their
selection, you are pretty certain to get
first class quality and flavor.
We do not claim to be perfection
we are only human and sometimes
make mistakes-but there isn't a store
in town that strives more faithfully to
have its customers absolutely salts
fed, or that will so gladly and quickly
rectify a mistake. We deem it a
favor to have an error called to ou1
attention, and to have any goods re-
turned that are not everything they
should be in quality and freshness.
