Party To snyder.

Secretary +. J. Anderson, accom-
panied by by Newt Hargrove left here
Tuesday afternoon for Tahoka to
meet MIR. Westgard who is officially
logging the Southern National High
way through West Texas.
The party reached Snyder Wcjnes-
day afternoon and registered at the
Manhattan. The party consists of w.
o. l.. Westgard and c. A. Taylor Of
New York, c. A. Branston and Jack
Graf of Cambridge, England.
The party are making an official
survey of the entire route and we feel
that the proposition is now sure.
This route will bring thousands
OF peorle through Snyder and they
will all stop for awhile.
Our hotels, garages and mer Mtile
houses will all reap financial benefit
and we will all get benefits IN so,ial
way.
The building cf the thr3 t1 route
will stimulate improvement of other
roads and very soon the county will
be known everywhere for its system
OF good roads
Mr. Westgard carries a complcta en-
gineering equipment apc - compiling
a minute los. OF the Highway and viii
very soon Gle his official report.
He doesn't talk much but shows TO
have formed very favorable idea
of this route.
An official report OF this important
trip says:
Wednesday afternoon at three o.
clock the long looked for official log
gers Of the Southern National High
way arrived in Snyder. the party con-
sisting of W. o. l.. Westgard Special

The line logged through Texas Is
the line OF the Southern National
Highway and comes into Texas from
Roswell az Bronco. passes through
Brownneld. Tahoka, Gail, Snyder,
Hermleigh, Roscoe and east through
Sweetwater TO Texarkana.
The party started from Los Angel
es. passing through san Diego on the
9th OF August and expect TO arrive
In New York city during the middle
OF October Considerable delay has
been caused by the failure OF the
State of Texas to get in readiness for
the survey or the party would have
been through somewhat earlier
The car used in logging the road
Is a Pathfinder go" which IS now on
its eighth transcontinental trip. hay-

PLENTY OF COTTON PICKING
HERE At HOME

The Signal is not disposed to butt
into other peoples business, but II
does believe that people who are go-
ing away from here to other coun-
ties to pick cotton are making a mis-
take. There may be more bales OF cot
ton made In some other COUNTIES than
In this but those counties have vast
ly more pickers in proportion to the
crop than are here From wha. ,an
be learned OF the cotton crop in Sour
ry county there will be an abundant
demand for pickers here at home and
II will certainly be better for our peo-
pie TO stay here and pick our crop
than to bear the expense OF moving
to other sections where the crop IS
no better and where they are over
run with pickers. II is important that
our scurry county farmers save all
they have raised and II the pickers
leave. there is danger of losing some

TROOPS GUARD HOLY CARPET
.3edouin Tribes of the Desert Would

Islam Object.

AS is we'll known to Mohamme-

Holy Carpet always travels with an

Medina and Mecca. This escort con-
lists Of 800 to $50 men of one of the
Egyptian infantry regiments with
TWO small field pieces and two quick,
hring guns, and about forty mount
ID men,. together with their horses.
The object of such a strong escort
is to protect the sacred object from
falling into the hands of the Bedouin
tribes, through whose countries it
must pass at various stages of its
Journey and who are also on the
ookout for it, as the carpet is worth
} fine ransom. Desperate attacks are
got infrequently made upon the
Holy Carpet by the Bedouiins of the
desert. Hence the strength of the

MAY BE BEAUTIFUL AT FORTY
Woman's Complexion and Figure Can
Be Preserved by Proper Diet
and Fresh Air.

Women should be specially careful
to choose the right diet. For the
Jake Of her beauty, if nothing else, a
woman should choose the right
amount Of nutritive foods, and avoid
5he temptations of overeating. Coars-
sr bread, more fruit, less meat and
especially moderation, or total absti-
nence, in the use of tea and coffee
will secure relief from the all too re-
larded action Of the digestive organs
which is the curse of so many women
who lead sedentary lives. No woman
~ho eats properly and gets plenty Of
fresh air and exercise will have
poor complexion nor get too fat; nci-
lher will she suffer from nerves and
hysteria.
The woman who lives right. thinks
right and works right may be more
beautiful at forty or sixty than at
twenty, and the preservation of the
divine gift of beauty is a duty that
40 woman should neglect for her
own sake and the sake of the world
about her.-Woman's Home Com
