Shiner. Lavaca County. Texas, Thursday Morning, October 30, 1924.

The Seniors have been putting
on some detective work for they
are trying to find out what the
other grades are goicg to do for
Hallowe’en. Selma Rogge and
Virginia Perry have something
up their sleeves but no one has
been able to find out what it is
for during eyery recess, Selma
and Virginia disappear mys-
teriously. During school hoars,
they look at the rest of the stu-
dents and grin; then they look
at each other and wink. It’s most
exasperating! The other classes
are doing something to and they
are as “silly” about it as the
Juniors, Well—we are going to
find out what it is Friday night,
and so will every one else. All
you have to do Friday, is to come
up to the school house—we look
after the good times.
The eighth graders, or Fish
(which is a more appropriate
name), just love to read classics
in English and then write themes
about some of the characters.
They are reading Stevenson’s
“Treasure Island” now and one
of the dear little things wrote a
description of Billy Jones. Oh
Yes! They love classics.
Three basket ball courts were
not enough; so another one was
set up for the eighth and ninth
grade boys. They have already
learned how to hold a ball, how
to throw a ball, how to get up if
they fall and Ewell Clark actually
hit a goal. We daresay Clark
received gifts from the rest of
the players—at any rate, he is
“IT” among them.
The “Shiner Hi Comancbes”
met defeat at the bands of the
Breslau Basketball Team last
Friday on the latter’s courts.
The score was 16 to 20. Breslau
has a good team but they were
greatly aided by the fact that
they were playing on their own
• >urt and that they had their
teacher playing with them. The
boys are not the least bit dis-
heartened bat are only begging
for another chance at Breslau.
We admit that we were rather
frightened when we learned that
the boys had been defeated for
we thought they would have to
buy new caps. Wait until they
come to Shiner.
Do not forget the Hallowe’en
Blowout Friday Night and the
Mother’s Club Dinner Tuesday,
November 4.

Attorney Merrem Here
We call your attention to the
professional card ot Leslie C
Merrem, attorney at Law, with
headquarters at Yoakum. At-
torney Merrem has decided to
devote an afternoon to Shiner in
order to accomodate his Shiner
clients. Those desiring his ser-
vices will find him at the First
National Bank each Thursday
afternoon from 3 to 5 oclock.
Since Shiner has no resident at-
torney, Mr. Merrem *s office
hours here will prove a great
convenience to this community.

Band.

ing sermon paying tribute to the

Mr. Joske Promotes A Big
Cause In A Big Way
When a highly practical philan-
thropy is well begun, it is more
than half-done. Alexander
Joske’s initial gift of $50,000* to
the Boy Scputs, wherewith to
build an armory, by every cotf-
sideration of both gratitude to
the donor and zeal for the com-
munity’s interests should have
moved others to provide a site
for the structure and the money
for its equipment.
Mr. Joske, however, allowed
scarcely an opportunity to con*
aider the matter of such supple-
mentary gifts. Within three days
after he bad proffered the $50,000
he proceeded to carry on his pro-
motion of a great cause in a big
way by donating the land in a
most beautiful, desirable situs*
tion, adjoining Brackenridge
Park,/fend funds for tbe equip-
ment and for a bathing pool,
as well.
It is quite conservative to place
this benefaction in the highest
class of investments in the public
welfare, as San Antonio Express
pointed out when the original
gift,was announced as the form
Mr. Joske had determined upon
for a memorial to his late son,
Harold. More directly, it
promises great happiness for
a group of the finest among San
Antonio’s boyhood—and “happi-
ness is the atmosphere in which
all good affections grow, the
wholesome warmth necessary to
make tbe heart-blood circulate
healthily and freely.”
Mr. Joske thereby is making
openhanded provision for the
betterment of the city wherein
he has Hired, aad labored these
many years. He is reinforcing
the first bulwark of this or any
other city—good citizenship.—

“JUDGMENT OF THE STORM”
With Lloyd Hughs, George Hackathorn and an all star cast
A picture for all the world to see. It is human—bumble, it
is great because of its truth, it is absorbing because it has
all tbe elements of entertainment, it is everybody’s picture
because it is life. It is an amazing story that lays bare tbe
folly and tragedy of man’s vices—that plumbs the depth of
mother love and man’s love for woman—a compelling story
that is rooted rathe fertile soil of every day life!
