at H O'CLOCK tonight the
Brenham Cubo will meet L<>. k-
hart Lion.-, in Brenham in a bi-
d¡strict cont-at that will decide
the winner between districts 28-
aa and 24 AA. Last Friday night
Lock ha it won over previously un-
beaten (¡únzales ¡12 to 20 to
cinch the title in their district.
Brcnham and Schulenburg tied
for the championship in District
24 A A with Schulenburg getting
stronger and stronger as the sea-
son progressed and Brcnham get -
ting weaker. Brcnham caught
Schulenburg several weeks ago
and eked out a 21 to 20 verdict
and as a result of that one Brcn-
ham goes into bi-district play. It
is the second time in three years
that Brcnham has been the site
of the bi-district contest. Bren
ham got the game when Supt
Frank Allenson correctly called
the coin flip at a meeting of
school officials in La Grange Sat-
urday afternoon. Several have
asked me to pick the winner /or
you, so here goes:

LOOK AT IT THIS WAY !
An Editorial
'southwestern States Telephone Company is offering to install
a new and modern dial telephone system in the Caldwell exchangc
for a substantial rate increase. The city uf Caldwell is putting
their proposition to vole of the telephone subscribers this week
by mail. The new rates are included in the letter and in this
week's issue of the NEWS there is an ad\ertúement by The
Southwestern States Telephone Co. outlining their proposition
:>.nd displaying the new rate chart.
By installation of the dial system Caldwell will be placed
alongside cities getting the >ery best in telephone service. If
the user* of telephone service in ("aldwell vote down this proposi-
tion, il may he year* before the> haic th«- opportunitx auain.
The rate- listed ere in line wilh other citie* of comparable s /c
to ( aldwell. If we fail to wjte for the new *>*tem there 1 no
(|ue*tion but that the telephone rompan) will lake their case
to the courts and if they caji prove that they are not getting
enough revenue from the present rate*, ihey will be granted a
rai*e and we will he ,*tiuk with the *ame old out-dated, out-
moded system that we now have with the same inadequate
serv ice.
Wouldn't you rather pay a little more and get something
worth while? Think it over before >011 send your letter back to
the cit> council for tabulation.
