Americans do not know
how to appreciate this grand
country ot ours. Just think
eliout those awful times they
arc having in that war-torn
country of Spain. Every day
the situation grows worse in
'that picturesque country. We
should paqke to thank the
Great Ruler Hi at* we "live in
a country where we worship
and think as we please. With
Thanksgiving coming on, this
is one of the many things we
might pause to be thankful
for.

In the passing of Madame
Schumann-Heink,. the world
has lost one of the greatest
personages it has ever-known.
Not only was she a great%
'singer, but a great peace-’
maker as well. She was called
the “Mother” of the American
Legion, and was loved by the
'‘buddies” as their own moth-
er. Although she made many
thousands of dollars each
year during her days in grand
she died comparatively
poor, having given most of it
away to the poor and needy.
Her name will go-down in his-
‘tory, and she will perhaps be
remembered longer than many
others who haVe more wealth
■•than they know, what to do.

ANNUAL CARNIVAL
BRINGS P.-T.A. $95
,j- "•r~ |*~ ------t-----
After having been postpon-
ed about three times, the an-
nual carnival sponsored by the
F.-T. A. of the local high
school was held at the Fair
Park Tuesday night. A large
crowd of enthusiastic school
boosters we're present, and an
enjoyable evening was spent
m 4’isiting the different booths
and witnessing a very interest-
ing program under the direc-
tion of W. F. Fritz.
The'large ten-pound box of
candy was auctioned off, and
brought a nice sum of money
to the football squad. Other
attractions included the Bingo
stand, the Centennial exhibit,
fish pond, art exhibit, and the
“nigger baby ^gallery.” A
beautiful what-not shelf was
awarded Mrs. F. X. Brunner
in a drawing held at the Cen-
tennial booth.
About $95.00 was realized
by the P.-T. A out of the car-
.riival. This will go into the
general fund for helping buy
books, and help the football
team with its expenses.

County Attorney Perkins to
believe it possible that the

Perkin:: said today that no

that would lead to identifica-
tion, but he was hoping that
the man could be identified
after new* of tjje tragedy ap-
peared in newspapers. Be-
cause of the badly mutilated
condition of the body, it wa.k
impossible to hold it longer
