SUE BONNER ENTERS GIRLS
IN STATE CLOTHING TESTj
Miss Sue Bonner, instructor of
Home Economics, left early Satur-
day, April 21 for San Antonio where
she will attend the State Clothing
Contest. She was accompanied by
Lasena Counts and Mildred Keen,
pupils of her clothing class. These
girls will enter their garments in the
contest. Miss Bonner felt confident
that we would win in the contests
entered and although no word has
been heard from the contestants we
feel sure that when word does come,
it will be a report of victory.
SENIORS RECEIVE THEIR
CARDS AND INVITATIONS
'The senior class received their
cards and invitations last week. They
were engraved by the Star Engrav-
ing company Qf Houston, the same
company that made the rings. The
invitations follow a design that is
entirely new here, as a picture of
•our school building is engraved on
.them. Each member of the class
ordered cards to suit his personal
taste, and everyone is well pleased
with them.
The diplomas also arrived last
week. They are of the “sheepskin”
/type, with a genuine leather cover,
with the class roll, class flower, and
motto printed on them. They, like the
invitations, have an engraving of the
school building and are tied with the
class colors.
The school board kindly consented
to pay for the diplomas. The seniors
appreciate this very much and wish
to publily express their appreciation
of this.

YOUNG COUNTY

County Superintendent
An election has been called for a'n
election to vote bonds for the Prof-
fitt common school district. They
will build a new school building to
replace the one destroyed by fire
last winter. They expect to build a
brick building.
An election has been called in the
Monument district to raise their local
taxe rate from 75 cents to not ex-
ceed 100 cents. This shows that this
school: is interested in bettering
themselves.
The Jean District expects to soon
begin woi’k on their building. They
are planning to use the material in
the old building and add to it enough
to make a six-room building.
The first school Fair for the rural
schools of Young county is now past
history. It was a decided success. 16
schools from over the county placed
exhibits in the booths there. All of
them were beautiful and showed that
the schools had worked on the Fair.
The singing contest was extremely
good. There were 18 songs rendered
on Friday afternoon. The teachers,
students, trustees, and all patrons
ar to be complimented for their earn-
est efforts. On Friday morning at 11
o’clock all visitors in town were
guests of the Graham National bank
at the National theatre. The house
was filled to capacity. The show was
enjoyed by all. On Saturday morn-
ing at 10 o’clock all visitors were
guests of the John E. Morrison Co.,
at the Liberty theatre. This show
was also enjoyed by a large crowd.
The report is that all attending the
fair surely appreciate the above men-
tioned treats. The pi-izes for first

K. S. K. PLANS WIENER ROAST
—o—
The K. S. K. club held its regular
meeting Monday afternoon at the
home o'f Verna Mae Seawright. The
club decided that its weekly enter-
tainment would be in the form of a
wiener roqst. Those attending it
are to meet at Verna Mae Sea-
wright’s at seven o’clock Saturday

ECONOMICS CLASS VISITS
IFIRST NATIONAL BANK
'The ipast "few weeks the Eco-
nomics class has been studying
money, banks, credits, and other sub-
jects of that type. Miss Lomax,
teacher of the class, decided that it
would be very profitable to the class
ito visit the bank. With permission
•o'f the officials o’f the First National
bank, the economics class visited
that bank on Thursday. Mr. Nix, Mr.
Edwards and Mr. McClatchy were
very lenient to all students. Mr.
McClatchy showed them the vaults
and. how they were operated.
The economics class of Olney high
school appreciates the kindness of
the officials of the First National
bank In showing and explainning to
them the important factors of banks.
Mr. Watts: They discovered from-
ic acid from bee sting. When a bee
stings you he inserts a little fromic
acid in you.
Coe Ellis: He must have a concen-
trated solution then.
Mr. Herm: Put a hyphen between
those words.
Mafaulda: What is a hyphen?
Herm: Oh, it is just a young dash.
Opal: You can’t wink at a girl
with high-heel shoes.
Charlie: How come?
Opal: You gotta use your eye.
are to be given by the Graham
Chamber of Commerce. These are al-
so appreciated by all concerned and
interested in the Fair. The programs
given by the clubs under the direc-
tion of Miss Grimes were enjoyed
by a number and were a success.
Next year it is hoped that we have
the new auditorium in which to hold
this so that we may have more room
for the singing contests. More beau-
tiful booths have not been seen at
the fairgrounds before. Those doing
the judging were faithful in their
work. They, too, are appreciated. All
who helped to make this Fair a suc-
cess have the thanks of the entire
county and this office force.
The graudation' exercises for the
county-wide 7th grade are to be in
Graham on May 4 at 8 p. m. There
will be a class of over 100 students.
This is the first class of the kind
in this county. Much interest is be-
ing shown. More definite j
ments will be made later.
W. L. Hughes, president of the
Texas State Teachers’ association
and head of the rural school divis-
ion of A. & M. college,, will give the
address at the county-wide Seventh
grade graduation exercises in Gra-
ham, May 4 at 8 p. m.

Waxing or varnishing improves the
appearancse of linoleuni and makes
it last longer. Use wax on the inlaid
and plain kinds, and varnish on
printed ones, for wax sometimes
tends to soften the printed surface.
If either of these finishes is applied,
the linoleum is then cleaned and
cared for like a wood floor so fin-
ished. If not given a special finish,
linoleum should be swept with a soft
brush, and dusted with an oiled or
dry mop. Occasionaly, it should be
cleaned more thoroughly, with a
cloth wrung out of suds made with
lukewarm water and neutral soap.
Rinse the linoleums with clear water
and dry with another cloth. Only
a small space should be wet at a
time. A linoleum-covered floor should
never be flooded. Strong soaps and
cleaning powders that contain alka-
li injure linoleum and should never
be used on.it. Whenever any kind of
cleaning powder is used on a very
dirty spot, care
remove any trace of the water in
which the powder was dissolved.
There are certain shades of greet
gray and tan, which look well wit
many color' harmonies, so you cal
use them for background when yo]
must have a rather limited wardrobt
Black, too, can be worn with al
most any combination of colons.
Think of your wardrobe as a whole,]
and buy articles that can be worn]
together with good effect.

jjiill —Extra power!
Downhill -Better brakes!
for safer, more delightful
The illustrations of the Nash Advanced
Six and Special Six Sedans, shown
above, point out two very great ad-
vantages which belong to everyone who
drives the Nash.
For climbing hills, going around other
cars, getting away in front at a traffic
start, Nash has extra power and greater
flexibility, produced by the highly per-
fected, precision balanced, Nash 7-bear-
ing motor, and the equally famous Nash
straight line drive.
Coming down hills, driving in traffic,
meeting a sudden emergency—Nash
2-way 4-wheel brakes surround Nash
owners with exceptional safety. And
they also require the minimum of atten-
tion and adjustment, because of their
2-way and fully equalised design.
The extra power and extra safety of
Nash travel cost you nothing, as you
will discover if you compare Nash prices
to the prices asked for other cars. Nash
leads the world in motor car value!
