The Gus Garage.

About seven years ago Mr.. NJ. $.
Bolinger came to Plain Dealing with a
view to making Il place for himself in
IL material way and establishing him
self otherwise among pleasant peO-
pie in country that is good to live in.
The country looked that way to him
then and he is still more attached to 1t
now. The people speak well Of him
after knowing him during those seven
years: so it is to be presumed that he
has not changed his mind in regard to
them either. Indeed, Mr.. BOlinger's
attachment to the country has endured
so well that 1850 acres of its good
bottom land is assessed to him for tax
alton. He has done most of the things
that he has undertaken to do, and as
promoter and one of the proprietors Of
the newly established Gus Garage the
business seems to have behind it
enough backing and good business
Judgment to insure its success.
And Mr.. {. &. Still, who has tink-
ered rebuilt and rehabilitated lame
automobiles i'll Plain Dealing for about
Il year, is very well known to he a man
Of his trade who can take car to
pieces without the owner being made
uneasy as to the quality of the work.
In truth. Mr.. Still served a four-year
apprenticeship at his trade III Dallas.
Texas. and then worked four years
more as jOurneynan i'll the best
shops in that city. His work In Plain
Dealing is even better testimony to his
capabilities, and it is well known to
automobile owners for many miles In
all directions.
The CTS Garage has, couple of
! service cars always ut the disposal of
the travelling public and the manage
ment expects to put on more as the
business increases with the improve
ment Of the roads.
Mr.. BOlinger and Mr.. Still are pleas
ant gentlemen to meet and safe people
with whom to do business. They de.
serve success. and the constantly ex-
panding territory of Plain Dealing
makes that success both possible and
natural.

Mayor Wants to Be First
Air Garage Gunner Here

Mayor Zimmerman is going to Chi
cago soon to negotiate with an air
plane concern, about purchasing a
plane for himself, he said Monday.
Saturday. the mayor took a flight
over the city and. the aviator interest
ed him in the plane. and advised him
about buying one.
Zimmerman Is contemplating sell
ing tickets before he goes to Chicago,
not accepting the money until the
persons are ready to go up in the
plane. He does not contemplate driv-
ing the plane himself, but intends to
employ an aviator. and mentioned
several Richmond men who have had
experience in France. He also ex-
poets to have William, Jr., learn to
manipulate it.
Should the plane prove a popular
thing. two may be bought and it is
possible that persons may employ his
services for regular transportation.
Mayor Zimmerman has already locat-
ed suitable landing place, he says.

HOME "HOARDING" IS
CENTER OF DEBATE
PEOPLE GIVEN ARMS.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 21.-An effort
to have a provision in the bill making
1t unlawful for a person to possess
liquors in his own dwelling was ex-
pected to be storm center Of debate
today in the house when considera-
ton Of prohibition enforcement legis-
lation was resumed. Members who
announced they would attempt to
have the bill amended with this point
in view declared the measure as now
framed permitted boarding by wealthy
persons, thousands Of whom are said
to have stored in their homes enough
wines and whisky to last them life
time.
Other members were said to feel
"drys" had gone about as far as it
was wise to go as to make the legis-
lation TOO drastic would only bring it
into contempt and thereby defeat the
ends to which the prohibitionists
were working. Still others objected
to the action of the majority in rush
ing through the bill as they saw no
need for haste in view of the delay
that IS bound to ensue before senate
is ready to take up the bill

Baseball Lotteries May
Be Sought BY Federal
Agents IN State Probe

A statewide investigation Of alleged
baseball lotteries, which will probably
extend to Richmond has been prom
1sed by federal authorities in Indian
apolfs following the arrest and al
legged confession Of a man said to be
an agent for these lotteries, In that
city.
The suspect admitted, it Is said.
that he was agent for them and
worked on commission.
Books in possession of the Indian
apolis police, taken when the COM
pany's offices were raided, are said
to show that the company was doing
an extensive business, the bank de-
posits OF the concern being as high as
$4,000 for one week.
The company is said to conduct not
only a baseball pool business but a
lottery in connection with it, every
ticket being numbered and giving the
purchaser a chance at prizes running
up to $1,000 in addition to the winning
on the baseball game. The office of
another man thought to be represen-
tative of the concern was visited by
the police but no incriminating evil
dence was found.
