Coach King expects to take the

Iron this season to Gainesville Sat-
urday where the locals will lock
horns with the football team repre-
senting the high school at that place.
The weight and experience of the two,
clubs being about equal a Wichita,
Falls victory is forecasted. The
members of the local eleven are!
thoroughly seasoned, and have pro-
fitted to the fullest extent from the,
games which they have played so far
this year., Although light this season
they have commenced to show
flashes of speed and form which have
been a source of delight to their fol-
lowers, as has been the lighting spirit
which they have displayed on all 00
The Aeolian-Vocalion
THE NEW PHONOGRAPH— GREATER IN TONE QUALITY—ENHANCED IN
BEAUTY OF FORM, AN INSTRUMENT YOU CAN PLAY
Like all other fine musical instruments, the Aeolian-Vocalion is a development product
of a long series of refining processes. No claim is made that the Aeolian-Vocalion is
final perfection of reproducing instruments. But in it has been attained such an artistic
and musical excellence, that it is commanding the attention of those who have heretofore
refused the phonograph serious consideration. It has won its way into the palaces of Euro-
Dean royalty and into the finest homes of America. Everywhere its expression device e
Graduola—has been a revelation as full of interest as its broader tonal powers. 1 his won-
derful new invention of tone-control makes the V ocalion more than a tone-reproducing
instrument—in reality a remarkable new medium of musical expression.

The decision of the Midcontinent
Oil and Gulf Trail to hold their first
annual meeting at Wichita Falls next
year concurrently with the meeting of
the Meridian Highway, at this place:
and that of the Colorado-to-Guir High
way at Vernon, gives this city the
prospect of practically three highway
meetings at once, as part of the time
the Colorado to -Gulf people are to be
in Wichita Falls and meet with the
other associations at this place.
The Midcontinent Oil and Gulf Trail
is the recently-organized highway or
ganised at Wichita Falls and which
runs from Corpus Christi through San
Antonio and Wichita Falls to the Mid
continent oil fields. Official notifica-
lion that the highway association will
meet at this place has been received
by Secretary Johnson of the local
Chamber of Commerce from J. X. King
of Albany, president of the highway.
It is the intention to not only make
the triple meeting the most Impressive,
gathering of those interested in the
comparatively recent automobile high
way movement, but one of the most
rousing good roads meetings that has
ever been held in the West. By com
bining the meetings of the various as
sociations as has been done in the
meeting planned for this place, it will
be possible to obtain speakers and Jee
turers of much higher calibre than is
usually the case in these gatherings
experts of national prominence, and
whose utterances will be regarded as
authoritative all over the country.

TEXANS ARE URGED TO
VOTE TO HELP SCHOOLS

Another appeal to the voters of Tex-
et to enable school districts to meet
the needs of school patrons has been
issued by State Superintendent W. F.
Doughty. It follows:
To the Voters of Texas: The Can-
stitutional amendment to be voted up-
on by the people on the seventh of No-
vember is distinctly an educational
ame ndment, and is the only amend-
ment to be considered at that time
One leading feature of the amendment
‘s that it does not impose a tax of It-
self but if adopted will give the va-
rious districts and counties of the
State an opportunity lo secure addi-
tional support Tor their schools If they
need it and want it.
The amendment was submitted to
the people of Texas in response to a
widespread demand throughout the
State for an opportunity to secure
greater support tor the schools than is
low permitted by the Constitution of
he State. Many districts in Texas:
have already reached the conNttitu-
tional limit In taxation and are yet
short of funds with which to provide
in adequate system of public free
schools. Inasmuch as the amendment
does not levy a tax on any district or
county, the voters of such counties
and districts as may not need addi-
lonal support should in good neighbor
v spirit vote for the amendment, for
by so doing they will give the needy
districts of Texas an opportunity to
establish good schools for their chil-
Iren.
Four hundred and sixty-seven inde-
hendent school district. In the State
have already voted upon themselves
he limit In taxation permitted by the
present Constitution. Many of these
listricts need additional support and
annot secure anothe r dollar for their
‘schools unless this amendment is
adopted. On account of the compile
sory school attendance law many
schools in these districts are now fill
ed to overflowing with pupils for
whom there Is no provision for hous
ing. seating or teaching The only
relief for such districts is the adon
tion of the amendment to Section 3.
