CONDUCT tn class room
AND STUDY HALL
When you go to your class, you
should sit down and be crtilet. Dur-
ing class you should listen atten-
tively to what the teacher is
k saying. If you are called on to
F answer a question, you should
rise and speak so that the stu-
dents and the teacher can hear
What you say. You should never
slouch in a seat, chew gum or talk
In a loud voice to
class to dismissed,
out of the room,
quietly and orderly.
In the study hall you should
find a seat and sit there. Do Dot

School Spirit
One of the most important things
in the making of a school is school
spirit—(1) the work and loyalty
of each student to help make the
school united and steadfast, (2) the
will to do anything asked of him
for the school, (3) the personal
integrity in thfe student so that
he may never sell his school short.
These are a few of the many
things needed to make a good
school better.
The student may say to himself,
“What I do won’t help any." But
if all thought that way there
would be no schools.
The businessmen should solidly
back the school because it Is their
duty to do so. This makes it eas-
ier for the school’s functioning.
Speaking of school activities—it
is every student’s duty
gratulate the team—win
for playing their best.
Those boys are going
harder if they know the student
body has entrusted the game or
match to their hands. If they know
you don’t care if they win or lose
they don’t have very much to fight
for.
Support of the school and school
spirit helps build a student’s desire
to go to school and his morals;
it improves his sportsmanship.
Everyone should give his loyalty
and full support to his school.

CONDUCT ON THE
ATHLETIC FIELD S'" ~
On the athletic field !we should
act as we do in the class room,
hall, or library. We should remem-
ber that It is not only our home
folks who see and judge us here,
but also the visitors, and our
school is judged by the behavior of
students in the eyes of the visitors.
Dont be rowdy, push people,
or say unkind things. After all
they like to enjoy themselves and
see the game or they would have
stayed at ome. Be courteous to the
visiting team even though you lose
the game and think your opponents
were unfair.
Remember manners make the
person and the person or pupil
make the school.

So is the new fall merchandise arriving.
The prices on our stock remain the same
as last year’s.
A forecast on August 1
cotton yield of 2,450,000 bales to
Texas was unchanged on September
1. This is 373,000 bales under last
year’s crop. According to the crop
report of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture received by the A. and
M. College Extension Service, the
indicated yield of 165 pounds an
acre compared with 174 pounds to
1943 and the 10-year average of
162 pounds. Improved moisture and
temperature conditions during the
latter part of August about offset
damaging effects of ~~hfcat and
drought in the first part of the
month.
The report said that prospects
for grain sorghums, peanuts, sweet
potatoes and pecans improved
during August, but on September 1
the indicated production of rice
was lower than one month ago.
Moisture conditions at the end of
the month were favorable for pas-
ture improvement and for the pre-
paration of land for fall sown
grains, but more rain was needed in
several northwest counties to re-
plenish subsoil moisture.
The indicated production of 84,-
708,000 bushels of grain sorghums
for combining or heading topped
the estimate of 82,355,000 bushels
of one month ago, for an average
yield of 18 bushels, the report said
Damaging effects of early Aug-
ust conditions on the Texas peanut
crop were more than offset by sub-
sequent rains. The forecast for a
yield of 323,400.000 pounds with an
acreage average of 420 pounds
compared with 298,980,000 pounds
and an acreage average of 330
pounds in 1943.
The September 1 report esti-
mated potato production at 5,016,-
000 bushels compared with 6,450,-
bushels in 1943; sweet potatoes at
4,420,000 bushels against 5,616,000
last year, and pecans 43,500,000
pounds. The 1943 production of pe-
cans was 26,000,000 pounds. The
indicated rice yield was lowered
three bushels an acre compared
with the August 1 report for an
estimated production of 17,640
bushels. Last year’s harvest was
20,196,000 bushels.
The estimate of 64,649,000 bushels
of corn was unchanged from the
figures of one month ago, but the
average acreage yield was only 13
bushels compared with 16 in 1943
The report said however, that the
crop in the high plains was in fair
condition and harvesting was pro-
gressing In other areas.

nounced. - .
A plan to limit acceptance of
”R’ coupons to selected rural sta-
tions only was put into operation
last spring after a trial period in
Georgia and Florida wh^re it
worked very well. However, OPA
found that on a national scale,
limiting the acceptance of “R”
coupons resulted in some discrimi-
nation between various retail out-

Danger® Of Tuberculosis;
Early Treatment Needed
Urging the importance of early
diagnosis as the surest avenue of
recovering from tuberculosis, Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, State Health officer,
asserts that the danger of this
disease lies not so much in its
virulence as in its insidious attack.
“If a tuberculosis patient realized
his plight in the earliest stages of
the disease, Immediate treatment
could very likely save his life,” Dr.
Cox said.
The victim usually has sufficient
warning of the onset of the disease
but all too frequently ignores them.
“The warning signs are usually
not noticeable enough to attract
attention Dr. Cox said. “A cough
that persists, loss of weight, easy
tiring—if any of these symptoms
are present, delay in seeking prop-
er medical attention only lessens
the chance of arrenting the dis-
ease.
“It is the better pArt of valor
in the presence of such symptoms
to seek the advice of the family
physician without delay,” Dr. Cdx
stated. “Early diagnosis and early
treatment are' the real foes of tu-
berculosis. To deprive oneself of
their immeasurable advantages re-
sults at best in a long period of
treatment, and all too frequently
in premature death.”
Dr. Cox emprasized that babies
and young children can pick up
the germs of tuberculosis just as
readily as they can pick up the
germs of any other disease. He stat-
ed that on no account should
they be kept in rooms with infected
persons, use the same dishes, sleep
in the same beds, or come in any
other intimate contact with tuber-
colosis patients.

game to Hereford 27-0. Levelland
looked slow and sluggish in their
7-0 defeat by Denver City, but
with a little more team work they
could develop into a real power
house. Muleshoe has not played as
yet, but they are reported to have
a strong team.
But getting down to tomorrow
night’s game. Tahoka will be fav-
ored by a narrow margin, but if
those Lobos really get to rolling
they will be hard to beat.
Carraway is a powerful runner,
but if that Lobo forward line
begins functioning, he will have
some trouble denting it. He has
been troubled some this
a knee injury which
him up some.
Another factor which
for the Lobos is the fact that Al-
fred Bickham will be doing more
of the ball carrying. He would not
call his own plays enough to suit
Coach Tubb and the other boys, so
he was relieved of his field general-
ship. Blount now calls the plays.
In last Thursday’s scrimmage the
Lobo scrubs and the Junior High
Lobos, we saw a preview of the
Lobo teams of the future. The
scrubs won by a score of 8-0.
Outstanding play of the game
was an 80 yard touchdown run by
Jim Delashaw. Delashaw was the
outstanding man on the field, as he
both passed and ran and was the
mainstay on the defense.
Charley Baxter of the Junior
High, Lobos also shows a great
deal of promise as a back. He re-
turned a punt 40 yards through
ttjr'entire opposition before he was
finally stopped.
Outstanding to line play were
Chester Amwlne, Paul Husted and
Bill Bickham.

GOOD MANNERS IN ASSEMBLY
Upon entering the auditorium,
one should quickly and quietly
take his seat. If you are going
to talk to your neighbor, do not
talk loudly and stop as soon as
everyone Is seated.
Loud booing or

good manners.
Take an active part In the sing-

respect to the speaker by being
quiet until he has finished speak-
ing.
When you leave the auditorium
dont rush out, but go quietly to
single file when your turn comes.

Tomorrow’s Game
Tomorrow night Levelland’s Lobos
take to the road for the first time
when they invade Bulldog stadium
at Tahoka This will renew one of
M the oldest grid fueds to this dis-
trict. '
Tahoka has two lettermen, Nolan
Jones, center, and La Vaugn Carra-
way, full back. Carraway was a
first string end last year, but he
has been shifted to fullback and
he will do plenty of line plunging.
The Bulldogs also have ten re-
serve lettermen .who have played
a lot of ball. This gives them a
decided edge in experience.
™ A slight weight advantage will
i be the Lobo’s only statistical mar-
gin, but this will be more than
counteracted by Tahoka’s speed.
In their first game of the season
Tahoka held Lamesa’s Golden Tor-
nadoes, class AA team, to a lone
■ touchdown. Although they lost 7-0,
they played the Lamesa eleven a
hard game, and Carraway with his
speedy supporting trio showed plen-
Mk ty of offensive punch.
The Lobos lost their season open-
er to Denver City, a mediocre
class A team. They played a
less game, while the Denver
line opened gaping holes for
fast backs to run through.
In 1942 the Lobos and Bulldogs
met to a bi-dlstrict battle with
the Bulldogs which the Lobos won
7-6. In 1940 the Loboc won a con-
ference game with the Bulldogs
Ml 21-12. And in 1939 Max Minor ( now
playing half-back for the Army at
West Point) unleashed a scoring at-
tack to the second half to
score the Lobos 25-14.
