DEVELOPMENT
WAX FACTORY IS
OPENED IT ALPINE
Will Be Kept Running by
Million Acres of Candle
lila in Country.

Alpine, Tex, July 19.-The factory Of
the Rio Grande Wax company has
Commenced operations, and will be ope-
rated regularly from now on. This
company was organized and its factory
erected for the purpose of manufactuf
ing commercial wax from the shrub
or reed known as candelilla, which
grows wild in large quantities on the
lands adjacent to the Rio Grande in
the counties Of Terrell, Brewster, Pre-
sidlo and FL Paso- There are said to be
more than million acres practically
covered with this plant in the four
counties mentioned, sufficient to run a
number of factories for many years. A
new growth will mature within two
years after il is cut so this industry
viii no doubt become permanent
The Rio Grande Wax company has
a large amount of this plant cut, dried
and baled, and it is now arriving in
Alpine in carload lots. 1t is expected
that the output of the Alpine factory
will be one ton a day at this time, and
that this capacity will be increased
from time to time until an output of
one carload Of wax day is shipped
to market. The product will be mar
keted under the name of "Riowax."
and is said to be superior to any other
candelilla wax made A special and
patented process is used which makes
possible the manufacture of q clear,
white wax. somewhat resembling bees
wax in texture, but lighter in color.
It is the intention of the manage
ment of the Rio Grande Wax company
to erect several factories in the field
where the candelilla grows. The out
put of all these factories will be re-
fined by the patented process at the
Alpine factory

EE~ EAR WINIFRED. BLACK: I
have a friend, a good woman. a
sweet woman and a clever
woman. Her husband is unfaithfuI to
Ter, and I think I ought to tell her
about it. It seems 10 me so tragic for
her TO waste her unselfish devotion
upon one so unworthy OF her. Ny moth
er says 1 will be no true friend to my
friend if I so much as whisper the truth
to her. What would you do, stand idly
by and see a good woman throw her
life away upon an unworthy husband,
or open her eyes to the truth, and then
help her to get over 1t all?
What shall you do? That depends
upon the friend, and upon you
Is your friend a real woman or is
she a little creature who will just
weep and storm and upbraid and let
it go at that?
Is she a person who has any kind Of
life of her own that she would like
to live2 Is she giving that life up be-
cause she is blindly devoted to a man
who deceives her?
Has she price, self respect, self reli-
ance, truth, courage, honor; or is she
Just a little nOnentity who would live
with any man and be what she calls "a
good wife to him'-as long as he gave
her a wedding ring and called her
Mrs. Somebody or other?
Has she children and what will hap
pen to them if she divorces her huS-
band? Are you willing TO help her
take care of them?
What if the story you told her
should turn out to be untrue? Are
you sure about It!
Is the man really in love with the
affinity VIII he stay in love with
her-do you think2 What sort OF
fellow is he anyway, worth while IN
any other way at all2
Maybe you could help him out OF
miserable muddle if you spoke to him
instead of to his wife. You say you
are a friend of both; perhaps he's tired
of the affair already, and just wants
an excuse to tell his wife all about it
and be forgotten
What would / want you to do for me
in such a case as that2 / would want
YOU 10 tell me and to tell me quick
don't want to waste my life pretend
ing" I'd rather live alone on a desert
island with the buzzards for company
than to pour out my heart to one who
deceived me-I'd rather scrub floors for
a living than to take one penny from
a man who couldn't tell me the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth.
Yes I can see how woman might
hesitate before she left a man who is
the father of her children, not only
for the chiIdren's sake. but for her
own.
Women get lazy, they get selfish,
they get material as they grow older |
know women who were once decent, |
self respecting beings who live now

BEWARE OF
DEALERS WHO
SUBSTITUTE

/ The dealer who will sell you an i'm
itation for the original and charge
you the price of the genuine is bad
enough. But the dealer who takes ad-
vantage of the fact that you use a
nickname in calling for an article, and
sells you something inferior which is
named by the nickname Is guilty OF
hypocrisy as well as inscriptions
ness. Suppose. for instance, you were
in the habit of speaking of and buying
camphOr as cam" Now, suppose that
some dishonest manufacturer. knowing
that many people asked for camphor
valueless imitation of camphOr and
called it cam" And, suppose after
you had been fooled you went back
to the dealer and said. See here, you
didn't sell me camphor the other day
he'd say, didn't you ask for cam
You'd say yes; believe 1 did," well"
he could answer, that was cam I sold
you / didn't know you wanted genuine
camphor." What would you think OF
a dealer like that-wOuldn't you be
disguised with anybody small enough
and foolish enough to suppose he could
make you think that il was all your
fault you didn't get what you wanted
your own fault that you were
cheated
A few dealers are trying to deceive
their customers and are fooling them
selves by serving an imitation of Coca
Cola which is named by nickname for
that beverage. You see they expect to
get out of it very easily when caught
up with by pretending they thought
you meant the imitation when you
called for the genuine by nickname
Then. the safe thing for you to do. is
to ask for that delicious, refreshing
and wholesome beverage by its full
name, Coca-Cola- Then if they are
dishonest enough to sell you an imi-
tation. you'll Know how to avoid such
stores in the future.
Remember, it's Coca-COla; demand
the genuine-refuse substitutes,

was putting it in his own coat instead
