The Texas Power & Light Co., under a cooperative contract sign ed with the officials of the public power project, which is similar to the projects in Nebraska, agreed to purchase electricity amounting to approximately $700,000 a year. The privately-owned Texas com pany will distribute the hydro e lectric power throughout central Texas. President Roosevelt, in a letter to Representative Lyndon Johnson of Texas, termed the deal between the public power project and the privately owned company as an example of cooperation between a privately-owned company and its neighboring public power project for the benefit of the people. In his letter to Congressman Johnson, President Roosevelt said: “I was glad to receive your'let ter telling of the progress of the Lower Colorado River Authority. It shows that it is possible for a neighborng private utility to co operate with a public power devel opment to the advantage of both and the public. I hope that this cooperation will be manifested in other areas where smilar problems arise.’’ ' Under the terms of the contract the Texas Power & Light Co. is re quired to pass along to the con sumer any savings which are made through the purchase of the hydro powt.‘. Faced with a sinrrlar problem, of securing a major outlet for their hydro-electric power, directors an<l engineers of Nebraska’s Loup Riv er Ihiblic Power District have had under discus ion, during past weeks, a contract with the Nebras. ka Power Company of Omaha, also an Electric Bond and Share sub idiary. The Loup River-Nebras ka Power contract, now pending, would provide an outlet for ap proximately $500,000 worth of hy dro-electric power each year, ac cording to engineers representing both groups. The Nebraska Power Company the same as the Texas company, also agrees to pass on to its con sumers any possible savings as a result of this contract. The hydro electric power, under the proposed Nebraska contract, would be trans mitted to the Nebraska Power Company and then distributed ov er tho Company’s existing lines to its electrc users.

QUICK RELIEF FOR FEET r-'- -- A Prominent Business Woman Praises Mme.C.J. Walker’s Preparations i "I use Mme. C. J. Walker’s preparations exclusively be cause I get results from them that I am unable to get from any other preparation,” stated a well known business woman the other day. The secret of the remarkable success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s preparations is in the fact that they were blended by the late Madam C. J. Walker to reach certain definite conditions of the hair, skin and scalp, and today, after over thirty-five years on the market, they are growing increasingly popular, and not withstanding the fact that the Company has always refused to reduce the price on these goods, they are still in demand every where. Mme. C. J. Walker's GloSsine, although more than thirty-five years on the market, is still the leader in its field. The reason for this is because it not only serves as a scalp oil, but it gives the hair that silky sheen and natural gloss that is the delight of every woman. Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown Face Powder is not just another Face Powder, but is the result of years of experimenting to pro duce the perfect blend to impart a velvetlike softness and at the same time cooling and refresh ing. Just the thing for these hot days. The Mme. C. J. Walker's won derful preparations are sold by Walker Beauticians and Drug Stores everywhere, or you can write The Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Company, direct. Address: The Walker Building, Indian apolis, Indiana. /mor- is my (FAVORITE ) BOTTLED l BEER/ 6. STORZ l IS MADE t RIGHT rneZ ALL-GRAM JWllow MM AG£ Yes Sir!
