Choose Your
Optometrist
With Care!

Choose your optometrist just as you
would choose your family doctor. Let
the man you choose be one of the
reputable class of optometrists - one
with ability; one who is conscientious
in his efforts and sincere in his service
-one who has your interest always at
heart. 1t is obvious that no reputable
optometrtst can have a successful
practice unless his prices are fair, both
to himself and to his patrons 1t is
this ability and conscientious sincerity
and equality of price that has built our
large and ever growing business.

AUSTIN, Tex, May 29.-Texas farmers

ment is cooperating with the state labor
department to obtain laborers to handle the
growing crops.
This service is free to both the farmer

by the exodus of Mexican laborers to Mex
leo and also by the departure from the
state Of approximately 100, 1000 unskilled
laborers for northern points.
Requests for labor from central and
west Texas should be made to III. o. Cos
sett, Fort Worth, says Mr.. Davis. In
Southwest Texas all calls should be made
to the State Labor Department at Austin
in the territory around Houston to j. B.

bureau there, and in the vicinity of Dali
las to Elmer Scott, city hall, Dallas, man.

The governor has already approved the
bill passed by the legislature appropriate
ing $75O,O00 for that purpose and the
measure carried the emergency clause so
that the bill is now effective.
