fact that no teacher may receive a
county certificate if any county cer-
tificate has been Issued to such teach-
er in any county in Texas since June.

If the German nigh command had
its war about it the Yanks In France
would he limited to iwpgltns in the
wav of shooting irons with spitballs
for cartridges Such is the impres-
sion that must be gained from the
Huns' objection against the employ
merit of 12-gauge pump guns carrying
a complement of six shells loaded with
buckshot.
Quite in keeping with Germany’s
lack of perspective and her distorted
sense of judgment is this lament that
the Yankees are resorting to cruel and
unusual ways of making war upon

Teddy the dog. Teddy is making
his appearance at the Grand Theatre
tonight In “Are Waitresses Safe”’ »

edy. He has been qualified as an of-

performer has used his allotted time,
but persists tn holding the center of
the stage, and lingers in the lime-

gently hut firmly vrahs the would-be

which she made her greatest stage
hit, Manager Korn of the Grand im-
mediately arranged to secure the pic-
ture at the earliest possible date-
which will be on Monday at his thea-

for besides the drawing power of the
popular star herself, there has been
added the clever direction of one of
the screen’s most famous directors,
Maurice Tourneur, who will be re-
membered as having directed Elsie
Ferguson in her first screen vehicle.
"Barbary Sheep” and later in ' Rose
of the World" Mr. Tourneur also
directed “The Blue Bird.” which has
received much laudatory comment
The cast supporting the star in “Prun

several times the pre-war cost; sec-
ond, the zotie postal law. which more
than doubled the rale for this eonntrv
