REFLECTED in CITY
Several Markers Placed

Times Recalled.

The work of the Texas Landmarks
Association in endeavoring to preserve
the memory of historic spots in the
state with some sort Of marker is pro-
crossing rapidly according to Miss
Adina De Zavala, president of the De
Zavala Chapter of the organization.
The local chapter has been active,
its latest work being that of placing
several markers or tablets on Main
Plaza. All the tablets or memorials
erected by the organization preserve
historic data and information. The
one on Market Street at Main Plaza
especially is suggestive of historic
incidents, according to Miss De Zavala.
"One Of the stories," Miss De Zava-
la said, "centers on the coming Of
50 Comanche Indians. including war.

was to get a high ransom for her and
then to do the same with all the other
prisoners.

all the chief had TO say. But the
whites had different answer still. Ar

soldiers advanced into the room and

were killed and two children. The
whites loss was seven killed and eight

Bugs breathe through pores, a score
of tiny doors scattered over their

when an insect gets single breath OF
air charged with it, he dies. And there's
none of the mess and danger Of poison
powder or liquid. Ell Vampire is HARM
less to man and animal. You'll find it
in the YELLOW bellows box for 10c

The assets of the Fletcher Avenue
Savings and Loan Association, 10 z.
Market St, nave increased $500. 900
since Jan. 1. 1924, says Charles R.
Yoke.
The association feels that the past
six months have shown a splendid,
steady growth in business. Many
home builders have been financed by
the company and many homes al
ready built have been bought with
money loaned by them.
The Fletcher Avenue concern was
established thirty-four years ago by
Mr.. Yoke's father, Nelson Yoke, in a
small building at Shelby St. and
Fletcher Ave. Associated with him
were James 7. Peake, John Uhl and
Z. L. Atkinson, who saw the posi-
bilities of q conservative savings and
loan association which could pay div
idends at s per cent.
The business has steadily and con-
sistently grown since the first year
of its existence and today carries
net assets of 800 900 and is pat
ronized by persons from every sec
ton Of the city and State, as well
as by persons from other States.
