It the Princess.
“The Bondwoman,” appearing at the
Princess Theater this afternoon and to-
night, features Vera Fuller Mellish
with Helen Lindroth and Henry Hallam
in a three-part Kalem Broadway fa-
vorites feature. Horace Blanchard,
head bookkeeper for the bank, Is spend-
ing large sums on his experiment and
his daughter, Amy, cherishes hopes for
success with her writing. Lewis, presi-
dent of the bank, sees the girl and falls
in love with her, deserting La Reine, a
musical comedy actress. Blanchard re-
fuses to allow Lewis an introduction to,,
his daughter, as he knows the life of
the man. Hard pressed for funds to
continue his experiment, BlancharcT
steals from the bank and the cashier
reports him to the president. Lewis
remains quiet until the amount has
grown to an enormous sum. He then
goes to Blanchard’s home where he tells
him that Amy must marry him to stop
the prosecution. She agrees to do so
on condition that as soon as she has
sufficient money from her writing to
pay her father’s debt that she shall be
free. Lewis surrounds her with Every-
thing beautiful, but she does not soften
toward him, which only makes him
love her the more. Finally she pays
the debt and goes to the country. In a
short , time a son is . born and Lewis,
heartbroken, is found by her one day
at the side of the cradle. The house-
keeper attempts a reconciliation and
finally Amy tells him that some day
she may relent for their child’s sake.
Lewis, hopefully, w’aits.

Denton Readers Can No Longer Doubt
the Evidence.
This Denton citizen testified long ago.
Told of quick relief—of undoubted
benefit.
The facts are now confirmed.
Such testimony is complete—the evi-
dence conclusive.
It forms convincing proof of merit.
R. R. Turner, farmer, Denton, says:
“Sometimes when stooping or lifting, a
sharp pain caught me right in the small
of my back. I tried several medicines,
but without effect and was finally ad-
vised to use Doan's Kidney Pills. I got
some from J. F. Raley A Co.’s drug
store and after finishing two boxes, the
pain left my back and I felt like a dif-
ferent man, I have recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills to several people whom I
know have used them with good ef-
fect.”
The above statement was given on
February 14, 1915, and on April 23, 1915,
Mr, Turner said: “Since
by Doan’s Kidney Pilis, I
occasion to use any more
my kidneys.”

Committee’s Appeal.
The committee’s appeal, which will
be published in many of the State pa-
pers, follows:
A benefactor is one who does some-
thing to bless humanity, and the grext-
.er the blessing the greater the bene-
faction. Judge V. W. Grubbs, of Green-
ville, Texas, is a true benefactor. He it
was who began the agitation of indus-
trial education for young women In
Texas. His persistent investigations in-
creased his zeal and enthusiasm, and
deepened his conviction for the estab-
lishment of an institution of learning
in Texas where young women might
have equal opportunities with young
men for industrial training. Becoming
convinced that the State of Texas
should authorize, establish and main-
tain such an institution, he appealed to
bis people to send him to the Legisla-
ture, that he might secure-the passage
Of such laws as would carry his views
into execution. He was elected on this
issue, and promptly introduced a bill
authorizing the creation of a girls’ in-
dustrial school. At first his bill was
criticised and derided, and he was jeer-
ed at for advocating such a chimerical
and impracticable proposition. While
the bill was pending, the newspapers of
Texas gave publicity to the matter, by
indulging in a free discussion of the
merits of the proposition. This arous-
ed inquiry and awakened a demand for
information touching the subject. Judge
Grubbs was called upon to attend meet-
ings held at various points in the state
to discuss the subject with the people.
At his own expense he answered the
demand, and awakened an interest that
influenced the Legislature to pass his
bill creating the Girls’ Industrial School
of Texas, th> name of which was later
changed to the College of Industrial
Arts. The institution was an experi-
ment so far as industrial training
among women in Texas was concerned.
Its growth has been phenomenal. In
twelve years it has grown to a college
or recognized merit, with an annual en-
rollment of about one thousand stu-
dents, and if the state had been more
liberal in its appropriations, the num-
ber would no doubt have been almost
doubled. Judge Grubbs did not
limit his efforts on industrial edu-
cation to this college. He had strong
convictions that our public free schools
should take into their curriculum in-
dustrial training for boys and girls, and
he gave much of his time, at his own
charge, to Educate the people of Texas
to his way of thinking regarding the
matter, and it is now only a question of
time until it will be taught in all of
our schools.
When Judge Grubbs began the agita-
tion ’of industrial education, he was a
comparatively well-to-do man, but be-
ing a man of strong convictions and
willing to make the necessary sacri-
fices to carry them into execution, he
has now practically exhausted his
means of living, and is well advanced in
years. He has a daughter who is now
ready to enter the College of Industrial
Arte, of which it is conceded that Judge
Grubbs is the father, yet she will be
unable to do so without assistance.
In recognition of the great work done
by Judge Grubbs and the sacrifices he
has borne, it is but just that the people
jrf/Texas should understand the real
situation. We have a deep conviction
that they would be pleased to do some-
thing as a token of their appreciation of
the services rendered, and in keeping
with this conviction, we are undertak-
ing to endow a Five Thousand Dollar
permanent scholarship in the College of
Industrial Arts of Texas for the educa-
tion of worthy young women unable
to pay their way, with the understand-
ing that the money so raised shall be-
come a permanent investment, and noth-
ing but the accrued interest thereon
shall be used, and that Miss Lillie Bell
Grubbs, the daughter of Judge V. W.
Grubbs, shall be the beneficiary of the
scholarship until she shall have com-
pleted the course of study prescribed by
the College of Industrial Arts, and
thereafter other worthy girls shall be-
come beneficiaries. The scholarship is
to be named the “Lydia Grubbs Scholar-
ship” of the College of Industrial Arts,
in keeping with the request of pudge
Grubbs, in recognition of the sacrifices
rendered and privations undergone by
his good wife in his achievements. We
appeal to the people of Texas to aid in
founding this scholarship, and shall ap-
preciate their co-operat^pn in the un-
dertaking. W. C. Edwards, of Denton,
Texas, is the secretary of the fund, and

At the Dreamland.
“Jealousy, What Art Thou?” showing
at the Dreamland Theater this after-
noon and tonight, features Ben Wilson
and Dorothy Phillips in a two-part Rex
comedy drama. Dorothy calls at Ben’s
office to accompany him for a stroll
but before leaving he excuses himself
and goes into another room where he
looks through her handbag to find the
card of a man there. In the meantime
she looks through his desk and finds
the picture of a beautiful woman. On
their stroll Ben smiles at a passing
friend and is told to stop flirting. When
Dorothy looks into a window where ’a
window dresser is at work she is told
to practice what she preaches. That
night they have dreams of the other
loving another. A few ‘evenings later
Ben calls at her home and when she
leaves the room finds where she has
started a letter to a girl chum, but it
appears to him to be to a rival. They
have a heated quarrel and Ben leaves,
telling her that he will n
her to the masquerade 1
night. The next day they both go to
learn what the other will wear that
night, hut Ben trades costumes with a
friend to fool her, and some funny
situations arise, but the sweethearts
finally make up and all ends serenely.
The program for Saturday is “Rise
and Fall of Officer 13,” Nestor two-reel
comedy; “A Daughter of the Jungle,"
Bison drama; “Parental Love," Laem-
mle drama.
