School board all the teacher of
the Corrigan Independent School
District were re-elected for the
session of 1932-33 with the ex-
ception of Coach Carter, who
will not be available due to the
fact that he wishes to enter
college next session. We under-
stand his successor has not as
yet been chosen,
The Corrigan School is manned
by a corps of efficient and cap-
able teachers and we congratu-
late the board on its action in
selecting them to guide the des-
tinies of our young hopefuls for
another session.
We regret to lose Coach Carter
but cemmend him in his decision
to seek further training and
wish him well In his work.
Mr. and Mrs. Cary Knox and
family, Mrs. J. F. Kerkpatrick,

shortly."
Highway Commission Issues Order
Covering 11 Miles. Native
Stone will be Used.
County Judge Will Tullos and
Commissioners Carl Bergman
and Fred Handley have the vote
of thanks from this section for
their good work this week when
they met the Highway Commis-
sion at Austin and prevailed on
that body to start work on sur-
facing Highway 106.
An order was passed for work
to start on an eleven mile strip,
and tho the Commission did not
designate which eleven of the
twenty odd miles in the county,
we are glad to be sure of that
much and feel confident another
work order will include the bal-
ance of 106 in Polk county ere
this is completed.
An 8 inch base of native stone
will be used and the width will
be eighteen feet.
Again, gentlemen, we thank
you kindly.

EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR
BARGAIN FESTIVAL
THE LIVING-ROOM FLOWER
I like the fragrant cheerful bloom
Of flowers in my living-room.
I care not wliat its kind may be,
I find it always good to see.
When skies are dark and days are drear,
It adds a touch of gentle cheer.
To look on it, so bright and fine,
Discouraged thoughts can scarce be mine.
It seems to me a ray of hope
When I, perchance, in darkness grope.
It hlooms awhile, then fades and dies,
But yet, it stands before my eyes
A symbol fine that I, while here,
May give to life a touch of cheer—
That though I’m here for just a while,
I, too, may give to life a smile.

One Week To Go
Our special subscription oftcr expires next 1’ri-
day. You save 98c by renewing your subscrip-
tion now. Does your neighbor take the paper?
We need 500 new subscribers.
The best and quickest way to
secure additional circulation has
been the subject for study with
us for several weeks and many
plans have been considered.
Rather than go to considerable
expense and risk to put on a
contest with an automobile as
prize and a high pressure sales
force to sell subscriptions, we
would rather pass the saving on
prizes and commissions back to
our readers, and so, our decision
to put on a 1 cent sale in an
effort to double our circulation.
Until April 15th, 1932 we will
accept new or renewal subscrip-
tions at the rate of 52 cents per
year.
We can accept chickens, eggs,
potatoes, peanuts or anything of
value in farm produce—except
perishable produce—at prevail-
ing market price.
There will be no high pressure
sales force to persuade you to
subscribe and if you or your
neighbor care to take advantage
of our offer, may we ask that
you bring or send it in.
