Good
Business
Everybody we talk to
about it agrees with us that
it's good business:
To diagnose battery troubles as
carefully as a doctor diag-
noses his cases.
To advise and make repairs
only when we know repairs
will pay.
To recommend the purchase of
a new battery only when re-
pairs on the old one would
not be a good investment.
To speak frankly, plainly, and
with a thought of the best
interests of the battery
owner whether his is a Wil-
lard Battery or not.

Fifty boy scouts met Monday
night at the Masonic hall and ef-
fected a re-organization of Troop
A of the Pauls Valley scouts.
There are 32 scouts in this troop
as re-organized.
There are some 15 or 20 scouts
who will form the nucleus of
Troop B when it is formed, in the
near future.
Scout master, John Poole, in-
spectors Lee Field and Rev. F. M.
Rice were officials who worked
with the scouts at their meeting
Monday night.
The boy scouts annual track
meet, in which entries will be made
from all troops of the county, will
be held at Pauls Valley next Sat-
urday aternoon, probably at the
city park.
The meet will be an all-day af-
fair, and events will appear in ten-
nis, base ball, and track. Possibly
today or Friday base ball try-outs
will be held to pick the team
which will represent Pauls Val-
ley in the meet.
A meeting will be held Friday
night in the dining room at the
