Her Ruby Lips
Says Si Chestnut: "Her lips may be rubies, her teeth
pearls and her eyes diamonds—but when ehe marries, she'll
expect you to pay the grocery bills."
Of course she will, and you'll do it gladly. And if you are
wise you will also save a little something irom your income,
for a rainy day. And you will be wiser still if you keep your
funds in u safe, reliable, trustworthy Bank like ours.
WE WILL APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.

HEMORRHAGE FROM OPERATION
Causes Patient to be Upturned to San-
itarium.
I
I Roy William Huchtons, who under-
went an operation for tonsilitis in the
Gainesville sanitarium Monday, came
home that evening,walking from the
depot to his home. The strain of walk-
ing that distance so soon after the op-
eration was possibly too much for
him, bringing on a hemorrhage about
midnight, which proved so persistent
that it became necessary to take him
back to.the sanitarium for treatment.
He came home again Tuesday and is
now reported to be recovering nicely.
o
COUNTY SINGING CONVENTION
pL.
tra, they solemnly filed by and took
their places upon the rostrum, to take
their respective parts in the program
of the evening and to receive their di-
plomas, certificates of the work they
had successfully accomplished during
the school period of four years.
There were twelve in the class—
eight girls and four boys, as follows:
Misses Oreta Autsin, Blanche Beck-
ner, Mary Alice Donnell, Jo Harwood,
Virginia Jones, Esta Lee Thompson,
Elsie Warner and Abby Wilson; and
Tolbert Fanning, Roy Lee Huchtons,
Herman Tompkins and Lewis Totty.
Tolbert Fanning was first honor
student of the class, and was there-
fore class valedictorian, while Miss
Blanche Beckner, second honor stu-
dent, was salutatorian.
The commencement address,a splen-
sdid and timely effort, was delivered
by Rev. Earl J. Patton in his own pe-
peculiar and happy style.
The diplomas were presented by
Superintendent Robt. W. Cooke, who
had just completed a very successful
year as superintendent.
Aside from the presentation of the
diplomas, other interesting features of
the occasion were the presentation of
prizes for scholarship, both individual
and class. The cup going *to the indi-
vidual pupil making the highest all
round average grade in the high school
for the entire year went to Miss Billie
Lain, a freshman. Her scholastic at-
tainments as to average grades out-
ranked those of any other student,
although she is not only the youngest
pupil in the high school department,
but also younger than any pupil in
the seventh grade this year.
The prize going to the class making
the highest average for the year was
awarded to the sophomore class.
Superintendent Cooke also exhibted
a handsom? trophy won by the Saint
Jo school in the county tournament
as the best all round in scholarship
in the county.
As a result of the class honors, the
two successful pupils now have their
choice of scholarships in a number of
Texas colleges and universities, and
Tolbert Fanning has announced that
he has accepted the scholarship offered
by Abilene Christian College and will
attend that institution next year.
The salutatory by Miss Blanche
Beckner was a splendid efforf, and
showed the result of careful study
during her four years of high school.
Likewise, the valedictory by Tol-
bert Fanning showed a remarkably
clear conception of the status he and
his classmates now occupy as they
emerge from the high school and enter
or are ready to enter upon the thresh-
hold of college or university. He dis-
played a keen insight into the prob-
lems that are yet to be solved before
entering upon the sterner duties and
realites of life in the business or pro-
fessional arena.
The class of 1927 has now passed into;
fine and showed a proper spirit and
appreciaton of many of life's problems
and a correct knowledge of the source
from whence all superhuman aid must
come.
The class history was well depicted
by Roy William Huchtons, and the'
class prophecy by Miss Oreta Austin \
proved the writer to be quite a seer. j
Following is the program rendered:
Processional—High School Orches-!
tra.
Invocation—Rev. Earl J. Patton. j
Salutatory—Miss Blanche Beckner.1
Vocal Solo—Mr. Herman Harwood.
Class History—Roy William Huch-
tons.

Valedictory—Tolbert Fanning.
Commencement Address—Rev. Earl

The class of 1927 has now passed into'
history, and whether or not the mem-!
bers have wrought well during their1
four years of high school will be de-1
veloped and demonstrated to the world
as the years come and go by the use
to which they put the training received
during that quadrennium. If they de-j
velop into useful, industrious, law-'
abiding citizens of sterling Christian'
character, giving to the world a life!
of service and to God a life of love,'
obedience and praise, then, and only'
then, will their school life prove of i

When we use the; expression "an
Itching palm" as Brutus used It to
Casslus, and as we hse It with re-
gard to our friends, It jpeans that the
person referred to Is avaricious and
not particular as to how he comes
by his money. But when our own
palm Itches—why, that's another mat-
ter: we content ourselves with say-
ing that money Is coming to us and
Ignore the details.
The whole superstition Is one of
suggestion and association. It orig-
inated before the days of paper
money, when all money was "hard."
A coin taken In the hand presses upon
the palm as the hand closes upon It.
The sensation produced becomes Iden-
tified with possession. Any tingling
of the palm subconsciously recalls
the sensation, thereby arousing the
Idea of money In hand with which It
Is identified. The natural wish for
money makes l£ a prognostic. It Is
the right palm that prophesies be-
cause, generally, we use the right
hand In accepting money.
