Last month at one Of the regular
Sunday services the announcement
was made that sufficient money from
the pledges had been received to pay
off the mortgage, which was promi-

When tube is punetured, the
first thing to do is Ii find out if
the puncture is in one wall of the
tube only or If both walls are per-
forated. Next a careful examina
ton should be made to determine
that no part of the article which
caused the puncture has lodged
inside the tube.
Then select a red para patch,
says a recent Michelin instruction
book, considerably larger on all
sides than the injury to be repair
ed and clean the patch carefully
on its flat or unbeveled side with
emery paper. Now lay the tube
on a convenient flat surface, such
as the dash or step, and with en-
cry paper clean space around
the puncture slightly larger than
the patch to be used. Coat both
the cleaned surfaces with cement
and after this has dried apply
second coat. In about ten minutes
when the surfaces are still 'tacky'
press the patch firmly in place.

A Suggestion.
We suggest to the parents or

the race and ride off with the big
premium pony outfit without half
trying.
Let your child enter the contest

Are You Sleeping?
The ladies and children of
Waxahachie seem to be going to
sleep, while those in the outside
territory are just beginning to
realize the opportunities they have
been wasting. We will say for
the benefit of those work-a-day
kind of contestants, that this is
no ehild's play, but sure enough
contest. If the contestants will
conscientiously put their brain to
work, it will develop skill, ingen-
uity, executive ability and gener-
alship. It will develop the real,
practical talents that are so neces-
sary to success in actual, everyday
experiences. -.
Let us reiterate: Don't go to
sleep. Get busy. Don't waste one
single day; make each one an
eventful one, as any one single
day may win or lose the premium
you have been striving for.
