Geary, least concerned of all, walk cd to the electric chair smoking a cigarette, carrying in one hand n pic ture of a young woman, a crucifix in tbe other. He banded the crucifix to the chaplain, klsaed the photograph two or three, times and died without a word. Lack of Imagination enables young men to die in that fashion. Jjack of imagination also makes it possible for them to commit murder. And lack of Imagination enables the public to follow the murderer's ex smple snd put him to a violent death.

It was considered a marvelous structure. Now the Equitable Trust company will tear It down and build a thirty-four story building in in place, to cost 112,000.000. - e There It nothing unusual about the thirty-four story building. The In teresting thing is the Equitable lease on the new building, whicb runs well into the next century, long before the lease enda tbe new building will be torn down. By that time the flying machine will have TepUced the suburban train, and all buildings will be done over to meet flying machine conditions. And by that time our single tax man may have persuaded tbe world that the only trouble with our civili-s nation it allowing individuals to own land.

There is so much to do that no one mind can bring relief to the people. What Texas needs more than any thing else at this time is a strong ull, a steady pull, and a pull all to gether." Spiritual Side Stresaad Progress in matters spiritual as well as material are to be atrived for by the first woman governor of the state, ahe -said. "If the example can be set for s higher standard of morala and purity f life and conduct in public aervanta of the people, I aball feel my admin istration haa not been in vain," Mrs. Ferguson continued. "Let us not for get that it is more glorious to lay treasures in Heaven than on earth." The woman governor declared that many women will be invited to take an active part in the administration. To Mrs. Ferguson, her Inauguration reports tbe final stepping atone of her determination to clear her ' family name from the stigma of her hut band's impeachment.

Two yeara later--he ran for tbe United States senate and mqde a good race in the dem'ocra tic primary only to lose in the runoff with Karl B. Mayfield. Early last year he again announced hia candidacy for governor, but his impeachment barred him from ever holding office in the ttate, the courts held. He and hia wife made the race.

Advertisers must be honest men, if they would remain advertisers. Their announcements are signed. They must tell the truth in their advertising. For their own protection, as well as yours. What would it profit a man to advertise "Pure, virgin wool suits," only to have you discover they were shoddy? You would soon separate the sheep from the cotton. And you would never deal with that man again. And, further, you would tell all your acquaintances what a skinflint, he was. i ' ' As a matter of business, if not of personal principle, an advertiser must tell the truth in his signed announce ments. That's what makes the advertising columns of vthis paper such reliable guides, to honest merchandise.. The printed announcements are bonds between you and the advertiser. Read the advertisements. Read them regularly. To be informed on the newest and best in everything. To save hours of shopping. To make the family purse do a bigger, better job. To get goods of known quality at the most attractive price. You would not plan a motor trip without first consult ing road-maps and guide-books. Is it logical to plan a shopping trip without first consulting the advertisements? Read the advertisements. Then go to the stores with' your mind more than half made up. 8 A signed advertisement is, ia effect, a sealed bond between you and the advertiser.
