ing a bugaboo to the oil operators

extreme care.

of the Texas railroad commission is
in the fields looking after oil vast

plosives. There is talk, too, that
an effort will be made to have
legislation enacted that will prevent
"close" drilling.

Has Dillon's street committee gone
cn a strike? A few nights ago several
Dillon gentlemen were discussing the
deplorable condition of the city's
streets and one gentlemen ventured
the remark that an automobile suf-
Hered more damage on mile of Dill
IONS main street than ii would suffer
en- rs miles of good road. Another
gentleman in thS party who drives an
automobile down Main street several
times day said he would contribute
$40 to fund to drag Main street and
then feel that he was making a good
investment. The city's street commit
tee is charged with the duty OF keep
ing the streets in reasonably good re
pair, but it is claimed that nothing
has been done to improve the streets
since the present administration has
been in office. The Dillon people are
nng suffering-they have been pa
lent because they knew the financial
esndition of the town when the pres
ant administration went in-but i,
She town is too poor to drag Main
street the citizens who have to use
'8he streets several times a day going
back and forth to their homes will
gIadly make up fund to defray the
cost. 1t is a(matter which deserves
the prompt attention of the town au
thorities. Winter is approaching anC

Every evil tendency in childhood
must finally be conquered, not by force
or punishment, but through the culti-
walton of a higher tendency. The good
man or woman is one whose life has
been slowly organized to act upon his
good impulses and to restrain his evil
ones. There is a thief or a robber In
us all, but fortunately for the major
|ity of us. he has become too weak
through inaction to be able to do US
any harm.--Chlcago American.

Birth of Standard Time.

It was 80 years ago that standard
time was born in the United States.
Before this date travellers from Bos-

their watches five times to keep up
to date. There were over half hum
dred standards used in the United
States and Canada, between the At
lantic and the Pacific. At noon on
November IS. 1883, there was uni
versal resetting of clocks in all parts
of the United States and Canada, and
the four great time zones into which
the American continent is divided
came into existence.
