Club women in Kansas have joined
with the probate judges OF the state
in their fight against hasty mar
riages. A law has been proposed
which provides that no wedding can
take place within the state until there
has been three weeks notice pub

county. The purpose OF the law will
be to stop young folks getting mar
ried when their habits and financial
condition should prevent 1t. The
runaway couples are the cause OF a
large number Of divorces and publish
ing the bans will have a tendency
to stop these to considerable ex-
tent. Marry in haste and repent at

Detroit, Mich, will. be the largest
prohibition city in the world after
May /, 1918. Despite the fact that
no true Moslem uses intoxicants, Con-
stantinople is not dry. Russia has
a dozen larger cities where vodka
and most wine sales are prohibited,
but certain malt liquors are allowed.
In the United States, Seattle, Port
land. Ore, and Denver are now the
largest dry cities. The prohibition
movement is gaining much Roadway
in the United States and it will not
be long distant before the manufac-
ture OF intoxicants is prohibited.

MIDLOTHIAN OIL FIELD
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
OPERATORS VISIT
FIELD TO MAKE INVEsTiGA-
TIoNS AND TAKE LEASES.
Two oil Men Mere in NaNaiiachie
saturday Enroute Home from
Midlothian Field With POck-
al Full Of Leases.

Considerable excitement has been
occasioned by oil groupings in the
western end OF Ellis county, some
six or seven miles west of Midloth-
ian. which bid fair TO develop into
a real oil field geological survey
of the supposed field was most flat
teriug and already we'll is being
sunk. The new field has attracted
attention from oil men away up in
Oklahoma and as many as two oil
experts we're here on Saturday af-
ternoon enroute to oklahoma City
and they had their pockets filled
with leases. These gentlemen, who
would not disclose their identity
said the first test well was down 20
a depth of about $50 feet and work
was being pushed on il. Other wells
will be started in the near future
In speaking of the geological sur
vey of this field tho oil experts said
it was often that oil was found where
the biologists said there was oil and
that oil was rarely ever found where
the biologists said It did not exist.
In addition TO the geological survey,
which is very flattering, the oil crop
pings in this newly discovered field
are sufficient to attract attention.
People throughout Texas are
watching developments in this sec
ton.

SANITARY METHODS ARE FEAT
URED IN DISPLAYING GOODS
AND KEEPING PRODUCE.
Ladies of WaXahachie Are Invited
to Visit This Store and Make
Inspection Amy Day in the :.
Week They Choose.

During the last few days much
has been said regarding sanitary
conditions of the food supply stores
and of scoring system to be adopt
ed, when merchants will get credit
for the effort they make to handle
the food supplies in sanitary man
ner While we have no desire to
see any dealer criticised we will well
GENE just such plan as means OF
lettering conditions. We want to
assure the housewives of Waxahachie
and surrounding country that we
welcome an inspection of our store.
We have combined years of expert
ence with money in providing a
place that we are proud of because of
TIE excellent sanitary conditions and
nothing would please us more than
tc have the ladies inspect our store
any day Fact is our sanitary sur
roundings will become our strongest
drawing card. When we fail to keep
Our store clean we will be ready to
close up.
In this connection we want to call
attention to our sanitary methods
OF displaying our food supplies be-
hind glass cases. You don't find
produce In front of our store. We
have show windows and especial
equipment for displaying our
goods and keeping them pure and
fresh at the same time. We apprc-
ciated very much the many nice
things said TO use by the ladies who
visited our store. We believe our
patronage would be doubled if every
woman in town would take the time
to pay us visit. We keep dependa-
lie merchandise at lowest prices and
feature sanitation. A visit from
the Inspector has no terror for us.
Next time YOU are down town call
and ask US to show YOU over the

SOUTH CAROLINA BOYS
ON THE MEXICAN BORDER
A Weekly News Letter From the
Palmetto Soldiers Now Stationed
at Fort Bliss, Texas.

The South Carolina boys have
been undergoing strenuous program
of field training, first by companies,
then by battalions, next by regl-
ments, that followed by brigade and
now they have been formed into a di.
vision with four additional brigades
from other states and will be put
through several days OF field ma
noeuvres. The division will be under
the command Of General Morton. The
press dispatches Of the week from El
PasO mentioned the fact that the Pal.
metto soldiers with the rest Of their
division would be taken for a hike to
La Cruces, N. M which Is some 70
miles from their camp. They will go
fully equipped, just as If they were
taking the field during actual war and
will undergo all the training which
big army experiences in the field dur
| ing war times.
OF all the National Guard organi-
cations which were encamped in the
| El Paso patrol district, It was said
that Massachusetts ranked first in eff.
| ficiency, Michigan second and South
Carolina third. Both Massachusetts,
and Michigan had been on the border
six weeks before the Palmetto boys
arrived and 1t must also be remem.
bered that those states appropriate
many times the amount Of money for
| their National Guard that South Caro-.
| lima does. Their states are more pros.
porous and have more money to give
| them, for one thing.
The soldier boys are all working
hard and doing whatever is given
them without murmuring. or course
| they think lot Of home and would
like to be back with their people, but
they are not kicking and "cussing"
like some. They do feel as II they
ought not to be kept sitting down on
the Texas plains in a concentration
camp indefinitely. They responded to
the call to arms when 1t looked as II
there was going to be trouble with
Mexico. and they today would go over
the Rio Grande with shout If orders
came from Washington to invade Mex.
leo. They have been in camp now
since June 18, either at Styx or in
their present location seven miles out
OF El Paso on the Texas plains.
Homo Within 80 Daye.
1t is generality believed that either
| by November or shortly thereafter
all Of the South Carolina soldiers will
be returned to Styx and mustered
out Of the federal service. It seems
to be the plan to return the troopa
home In the order In which they went
to the border and this means that from
the Ell Paso district the Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and Michigan National
Guard will be sent back before South
Carolina for they went there before
them. There are some $4,000 Penn.
sylvanians, and probably 5000 troops
from Michigan and Massachusetts,.
