GIRLS B. B. TOURNAMENT
NEXT WEEK
As announced in last week's
Y. J. Golden is holding a tourna-
ment for girls Friday and Satur-
day March and 1 and 2, to which
all schools of the county having
girls' basket ball teams are in-
vited. Circular invitations have
been mailed out by Superintend-
ent Simmons of the Golden
Schools and several teams have
already signified their intentions
to enter. No fees are required
and every school having a girls'
team is urged to enter. Schools
will be paired in such a way as
tot give the small school and equal
chance. A nice trophy will be
presented to the winning team.
Mr. Simmons informs the Y. J.
that the Golden team will not be
eligible for the trophy. In case
Golden team should win first,
place, the trophy will be present-
ed to the next highest team.
SNQWED UNDER FOR A WEEK
For eight days sleet and snow
have been parked on the north
side of the high school, which
has" furnished a modern frigidaire
system for the study hall. Per-
haps no student has ever seen
ice on the ground in Texas eight
days in succession. There are
few who can say they have
not had some experience in skat-
ing this past week! Edna Mae
Kingston, who broke her arm
during the flurry week, says that
she will acknowledge that she was
just learning. The Yellow Jacket
•looked on David Lindley and Mr.
Smart with pity all week, because
they have so much farther to
fall than the rest of us.
BERTHA PHILLIPS IS
LONESOME
Bertha writes in for "the wilds
of Arizona" that she is rather
lonesome out in the old "cruel"
world without knowing anybody.
She says that she still claim: f he
Orange and White, and that she
is having The Monitor sent to
her in order to keep up with us.
She says that she would like to
hear from anyone in Mineola Hi.
Come on Seniors, lets cheer the
little "business girl" up!
COMMERCIAL CLUB STAGES
VALENTINE PARTY
The Commericial Club, under the
sponsorship of Miss Driver, 'threw
a big Valentine party.' And even
though the weather was an 'all
wet' affair, and Coach Copass
had to carry the basketeers to
Marshall, the party was a houl-
ing success, and every one
had a pleasant time. There were
thirty-eight present to bein on
the fun.
Of course, since Cupid's favorite
colors are red and white, the de-
corations were of the same hue.
The Armory Hall was the scene
of the festivity, and it was un-
animously agreed that it was a
beautiful affair with all the red
and white streamers. The table
colors were of red and white, and
all the favors were of the holiday
color. Valentine games, hearts,
and bunco were the most popular
games played during the evening.
Ed Watts won a prize for the best
love story.
MINEOLA AND GOLDEN TO
PLAY FRIDAY NIGHT
The Mineola girls and boys will
play the Golden boys and girls
Friday night at the Golden Gym.
This a neighborly and friendly
game to be played by the teams.
Several Goldenites are playing on
Mineola's team this year and the
best of feeding exists between the
two schools. The Mineola Band
Pep Squad, and a large group of
fans will make the trip. May the
best teams win.
SOLED AND HEELED
MINEOLA VS TYLER HI
The Tylerites benat the Mineola
Basket Ball team of the girls to
a 11 to 7 score. This is a repeti-
tion of a defeat, but in the first
game, the score was 53—7, "not
so worse" when the Mineola girls
did not show their usual style of
playing. In the first half Mineola
outplayed the Tyler team alto-
gether, but in the last half, the
tide turned, and the Tyler girls
went home with the victory.

SULPHUR SPRINGS WINS DIS-
TRICT TOURNAMENT
The Sulphur Springs Hi Wild
Cats defeated the small rural
school team from Arc Ridge, Van
.Tandt County, in the finals of
the district tournament held at1
Greenville the past week. The j
Alba Eagles went into the semi
finals against Sulphur, but the
Wildcats managed to trek out
over the Eagles in two extra peri-
ods by a score of 30 to 28.
The Wild Cats will meet Denton j
Hi for bi-districfc honoris this
week. Denton is strong and the
Sulphurites will have to get con-
siderably wilder if they expect to i
cope with the boys along the j
north banks of Lake Dallas.
Russell spent this last week end
at home in Mineola. They are
attending Souther nMethodist Un- ;
iversity.

NEW HOMES NEAR CAMPUS
There are two new homes be-
ing erected near the campus, and
they must belong to Mr. Watts,
the father of the pride and joy
of M. H. S., Eddie Watts. Upon
interviewing Ed. however, he could
give no information concerning
the houses except that his "pop"
was in charge. So I suppose we
will have to ask "Daddy Watts")
about the new homes.

GIRL'S
TOURNAMENT
Golden invites the girls basket ball
teams of Wood County to a tournament
to be held in the gymnasium, beginning
at two O'clock P. M. Friday, March 1.
A nice trophy will be given the win-
ning team. Golden girls will participate
in the tournament, but will not be eligi-
ble for the trophy.
Coaches will please be on hand at the
appointed hour to draw for places, or
notify Miss Corine Precise, Golden, Tex-
as, and she will draw for you.
There w ill be no charges to the tourna-
ment except for night programs.
No blue cards required; no dictations
from Austin. Strictly a Wood County
affair. Come and let's have a good time
and determine the winner.
THE practical value of Ford
simplicity of design is es-
pecially apparent in the fuel
system.
Tlie gasoline tank is built
intejgral with the cowl and is
unusually sturdy because it
is made of heavy sheet steel,
teme plated to prevent rust
or corrosion. An additional
factor of strength is the fact
that it is composed of only
two pieces, instead of three
or four, and is electrically
welded—not soldered.
Recause of the location of
the tank, the entire flow of
gasoline is an even, natural
flow-—following the natural
law of gravity. This is the
simplest and most direct
way of supplying gasoline to
the carburetor without vari-
ations in pressure. The gaso-
line feed pipe of the new
Ford is only 18 inches long
and is easily accessible all
the way.
The gasoline passes from
the lank to the carburetor
through a filter or sediment
bulb mounted on the steel
dash which separates the
gasoline tank from the
engine.
Tbacarburetor is specially
designed anrl lias been built
to deliver many
thousands c.f miles
of good service.
Since all adjnrfments are
fixed except the needle valve
and idler, there is practi-
cally nothing to get out of
order.
The choke rod on the
dash acts as a primer and .
also as a regnbrfor of your
gasoline mnttore. The new
hot spot ma«u£sld insure*
complete vajtorxuitirvn of th
gasoline before it enters the
combustion chamber of the
engine.
As a mallei «lf fact, the
fuel system of the new Ford
is so simple in design and
so carefully mwmIc that It
requires very Utile service
attention.
The filter jr sediment
bulb should 1*r cleaned at
regular intervale and the
carburetor screen removed
and washed in gaeoline. Oc-
casionally the drain plug at
the bottom of thecarhuretor
should be removed and the
carburetor drained for a
few seconds.
