NUMBER NINE
Mr.. and Mrs. Thranc Entertain.


The home of Mr.. and Mrs. O. p
Thrane, on Scarborough Street. was
the scene OF splendor on last Friday
Ieyening, the occasion being a forty
two party given in honor of their
friends, Mrs. c. d. Morrell of Post.
Mrs. Fritz X. Smith of Austin. and
Mrs. Charles Cooper of El Paso. who
are visiting in the city.
AS indicative of the unlimited hos
pitality of the Thranes, the guests
were entertained on the lawn. and IL
was tacticly understood that they
had entree to everything intervening
between the two boundaries of sky
and earth.
The soft green grass under fooE
made a rich carpet; string OF cleo
trio lights reached from one end OF
the lawn to the other; following the
line OF the lights upon the grass
were dotted here and there two rows
OF tables; the evening breezes gently
stirred the boughs of the shade
trees. making the temperature de-
lightfully cool andrefreshing.
In a shady nook underneath
large tree, camouflagedl by a bank
OF flowers, was the punch bowl, and
Mrs. Oryille Dodson dispensed punch
from this station. From a hidden
source somewhere nearby, strains o.
delightful music proceeded. Nature
and art had contributed to make IL
an impressive scene.
The host and hostess and each OIL
those assisting in emphasizing the
welcome of the home, were in their
best spirits; the contagion spread
rapidly to the guests, and soon fif-
teen tables of players were thread
ing their way through the intrica-
cies Of progressive forty-two, now
advancing. now receding, now the
favored, now the rejected, of the
tickle dame, Chance. With victory
and defeat about equally balanced,
incentives were born, and occasion
ally players were found drawing on
their gray matter in an effort to pull
down the balances on the victory
side. These brain power concen-
trations, however, were only used at
the head table, but Madam Chance
presided there, and sch had no ia
vorites for the evening.
On occasions such as this, time
does not move by the old style pro-
cess of flying. 1t was as If by wire
hess that the hour of eleven OBJ
tanned. and the players were asked
to desist.
Then came a delightful interval of
summing up the situation, followed
by the serving of refreshments.
Brick cream, white cake and bon
bons were served from pretty little
baskets of green and white tied with
yellow tulle at the top.
An added charm to the scene was
the appea ance of pretty children,
daintily dressed. who glided fairy
like among the guests, according
them every attention. These little
ladies were: Misses Louise Nor
rell of Post. and Helen Boren and
Marguerite Adamson, our well
known Snyder girle.
The out of town guests were:
Mrs. Bob Warren OF Post and Miss
Halle Cooley of Henrietta.
Soon goodbyes were spoken, and
all that was left of the delightful
evenings entertainment was pleas

OF the game was two clean home

payments in order to be eligible to
be governor OF Texas.
But it is question OF residence.
Can a man actually reside in Wash
ington city and actually have his
abode there as a private citizen lor
at least seven or eight years, and
then by he simple process of paying
pou taxes in Texas blot 1t all out
repeal the constitution of Texas de-
clare IL all dream. and show up
as a resident OF Texas for tho last
five years?
Mr.. Bailey says he will leave II TO
the people. So all the people can do
is to stay by their constitution ana
vote Joe Bailey down. because he
cannot qualify under the constitu-
,ion. Read the latter part of said
section again. and decide whether
or not you, as a patriotic citizen ana
one who has the welfare OF the in
terests Of your state at heart VIII
knowingly vote for candidate who
cannot qualify.
Being ineligible to qualify as gov
ernor the state committee would be
fully justified in ordering his name
left off the primary ticket, but TINS
would raise howl from his wor-
shippers and defy him as a martyr
in the eyes of some people; so the
best thing to do is to bury him IN
political Oblivion on the 2Sth.
Why should some people want 70
select a nonresident to be our gov
ernor? Why want to import
governor when there are plenty of
good men and true living in the state
who can ill the office with credit
and distinction? c. r. Buchano1.

II isn't creditabe TO American
gallantry. nor is 1t supported by re-

women OF the United States will be
tied up to the political party that

American women are intelligent and
independent, There ara democrats
and republicans among women the
same as among men and they are apt
20 align with their same affiliations.
They may not like some of their par

SLIGHT BLAZE
EARLY FRIDAY
NanAusdeln and Nibiey-C Channel Loss
In Early Morning Blaze
ON Friday.

Fire of an unknown origin de-
stroyed the building occupied by the
Filler Veal and Poultry market on
Yakima avenue and Front street.
Friday morning at o'clock. The
building was the property OF the Nib
ley-Channel Lumber company. and
he marketing business was conduct
ID by b. e. VanAusdeln. The Van
Ausdeln family occupied the second
tory of the structure as living quar-
tiers.
Discovery OF the fire was made by
VanAusdeln, who was aroused by
the suffoeating smoke Mrs. Van Aus
deln and the baby were not at home
at the time OF the fire. He barely
had time TO make his exit thru rear
window. and jumped from the sec
ond story into his car which was
standing below. The alarm was turn
ed In Immediately and prompt and
efficient work on the part OF the
village OF Filer's fighters confined
the loss TO the one building where
he flames had their origin.
Van Ausdeln places his loss AT
$4,000 with $4,000 insurance. Nib
ey-Channel carried $1,000 insurance

great aid in checking the flames.
Drenching rains had fallen the day
previous. Thru the efforts OF the
ire force the long shed attached TO
the building was saved from destruc-
lion, as was an adjoining planning
nill operated by II. III. Goodpasture.
