24-NEW EDISON
"The Phonograph with a Soul"

Realism ! Only realism can make
the phonograph as wonderful a
source of music as all the artists in
the world.
Realism ! How can you know the
phonograph that achieves Realism?
The Official laboratory Mode!
of the New Edison has proved its
Realism by direct comparison with
living artists. The singer sings—or
the instrumentalist plays. Suddenly
the ,^-tist stops, and the New Edison
continues alone.
Four million people have wit-
nessed these remarkable tests. rl*hey
Our Ilmigri Piem mtive* the
your New Eduon. Let
found that only by watching the
artist could they tell when he was
singing— or playing and when the
New Edison was Rk-Ckkatinc his
performance.
The instrument we'll show you ia
an exact duplicate of the instru-
ments which triumphed in these
comparison-tests. It will sustain
the same test. Hrt guarantee it to
he capaMt of the tame beautiful and
(utouiulinff Ketditm^, —and that is
guaranteeing everything your heart
de*ires.

SATURDAY LAST DAY TO
TRANSFER NON-RESIDENT
PUPILS TO McKINNEY
To The Voters of Commissioner's
Precinct No. 2.
Four years ago I was a close sec-
ond to the nominee for the office of
Commissioner in Precinct No. 2, hav-
ing been defeated at that time by a
plu rallty of less than fifty votes.
There were four candidates In th«
race at that time and I submitted to
the will of the people and did not
complain or murmer. And on hurt
Saturday, July the 21th, 1 received
for this same nomination a plurality
over the next, highest man in the race
of more than two-hundred and thir-
ty votes.
For tlie confidence imposed in mo
by the voters of the •Precinct, to
make for the Whole Precinct, a fair,
Just and impartial Commissioner
ami for the great plurality of votes
received In last Saturday's Primary,
and to all the voters of the Precinct
who believe me entitled to the nomi-
nation at tho second Primary on tho
28th. of August next, I extend to
you, one and all, assurance of duei
appreciation.
Sincerely yours,
El J OERBN.
July 31 Is the last day for transfer-
ring nonresident pupils Into the Mc-
Kinney Independent school district to
secure free tuition for the school year
beginning September 1, and ending
August 31, 1921. All nonresident
transfer pupils who are matriculated
below the High School will be given
fuh six (6) months free tuition after
which thoy will be required to pay
tuition at the rate of $*.60 per month
In advance.
All nonresidents transfer pupils ma-
triculated in the High School will be
given 3 1-2 months free tuition aft-
er which time they wil be required to
pay tuition nt tho rate jot $1.00 per
month in advance.
All pupils living in the "Old Peters-
burg District" will bo given an extra
month free tuition after which tltno
they will be subjet to tho same rato
/ tuition und conditions of payment
os other nonresident pupils,
A'l "untleis'' who will bo seven
years of ago during this school year
arid live within the McKinney Public
School District may attend the school
In the district in which they live, pro-
vided that such pupils must pay the
rogular rate of tuition In advanco and
be physically'and mentally developed
so as to moot all of the requirements
for other pupils in the same grade.
Pupils must attend the school In
tho district In which they live. No
transfers will be made from ono dis-
trict to another unless some physical
disability, etc., domands It. We sln-
renderod me so much aid, by their
earnest and generous support; and
will say In the language of Holy writ,
"Many daughters have '"oe excellent-
ly, but thou exccllost the .nail;" and I
shall even treasure It, as a golden link
In memory's chain. To those who
voted against mo I bear no 111 will.
I have no word of reproach, and as-
sure them they will receive at my
hands «>" courteous treatment and fair
deal as If they had glvon mo their full
support, I shall exercise the maxim,
"Good will to all, malice to none."
With the abiding hope that I may ever
prove worthy of your confidence and
esteem.
I am, Respectfully,
J. T. I1EIJ
cerely trust that all parties will assist
us by making an honest endeavor to
carry out this last requirement
All nonresident pupils may attend
tlie school of their choice but after
I are matriculated, no transfor wni
l^f made to another chool without a
id and sufficient reason to tho
lerlntondent.
'tee text books will be distributed
all pupils this year, but we feel
_ e to advise all parents to purchase
books from the dealer In McKinney
if they prefer.
Again wf. ank the full and earnest
co-oporatlon of all our friends In our
very best efforts to glvo them tho most
successful administration of school if-
falrs during my Incumbency as City
Superintendent. We believe that our
- faculty will measure up with any High
School faculty in North Texas and we
are predicting a very successful school
year.
The State department of Education
|at Austin has notified the Superln-
I tendent that through the combined ef-
| forts of the Superintendent and High
[School faculty. The McKinney High
