TO THE PEOPLE OF SAN PATRICIO
COUNTY
When winter covers plain and hill
With mantle white and all is still;
When day is done; when shadows fall
And thru the night there comes a call
To fireside and to friends once more;
When grief comes tapping at the door;
When memories begin to seem
More precious than youth’s fondest
dream
And age takes many things away
That filled the hours of yesterday—
Ah, then it is that one can see
How strong the ties of home should be!
I pray that we shall learn to know,
As years so swiftly come and go,
That home grows dearer every day;
Oh, let’s enjoy it while we may-!
City of Sinton Installs
New Traffic System
The city commission lias installed
traffic signals at the intersection of
Sinton street with the cross streets in
the business section of the city
this week, city officers Fincher and
Gay doing the work of placing the
markers.
The signals are of heaviest material,
marked “Slow” on every side and in-
dicating the place for cars to turn at
the corners.
Mayor Albertson says that on and
after the 20th of this month, “talking”
will cease, and “acting” will take its
place, every one breaking the traffic
regulations to be “sho nuff” arrested.
SINTON TO HAVE BOY SCOUTS
GEORGES RETURN FROM TRIP
Mr. and Mrs. R. E. L. George re-
turned from a five weeks’ outing in
the mountains around Junction, where
they spent most of the time at Harde-
man’s Camp. The Georges report a
wonderful time. Mr. George says he
killed all the squirrels and caught all
the fish they could eat, and Mrs.
•George tells about climbing the moun
tains and wading the streams.
On their return, they made a trip
by way of San Angelo, Ozona, Fort
Stockton, Fort Davis, Marfa, Del Rio
and San" Antonio. At Marfa, they
were guests of J. J. White and Mrs.
Annie ..Gordon, and report them de-
lighted with their new location.
It is oae year since the Salvation
Army, through its representative was
present among us, presenting the Sal-
vation Army Home Service Appeal.
Last year conditions were not good fi-
nancially, but the quota adopted by
the Advisory Board was raised in our
county and we even went over the top.
This year financial conditions are
even worse than a year ago. The Ad-
visory Board for our county has taken
that matter into consideration when
adopting the annual quota. It is but
Three Hundred Dollars for the entire
county this year. It must be remem-
bered that a certain percentage of this
amount, if raised, remains in the
hands of the local Advisory Board, to
be used in charity cases, such as
would be administered by the Salva-
tion Army officers were they present.
In the past year considerable work in
the way of help to needy humanity
has been done, by funds of the Salva-
tion Army, left with the local Advisory
Board. Any person desiring to know
more about what has been done in
our midst within the past year, may
obtain that information from the sec-
retary-treasurer of the county Advisr
ory Board, Mr. J. O. Boothe.
The Salvation Army Advisory Board
for San Patricio county is as follows:
G. C. Conn, president; J. O. Boothe,
secretary-treasurer; M. W. Williams,
G. E. Sisco, J. T. Dawson, W. C.
Spares and Loy Sims, of Sinton; Mr.
Boykin at Taft. Mr. Gillett at Mathis
and M. K. Hunt at Gregory.
When the Appeal is presented, let
us respond to the best of our ability,
remembering that the Salvation Army
always responds, regardless of who
applies.

demonstration of beef and dairy cat-
tle judging to a number of his county,
club boys at Cook Ranch, near Bee-
ville, Saturday. The instruction was
a preliminary lesson preparatory to
the stock judging contest to be held,
at the Bee County Fair the last of this
month. Mr. Merritt reports that his
boys are improving in sock judging
amd fast learning all the fine points
in beef and dairy cattle.
The following boys of the county
were at the Cook Ranch Cor the con-
test: Ted Peeks, Marvin Carson and
Robert Pool of Odem; George Presley
and Red Presley of Taft; Gordon
Brown, Bryant Collins and Rolls Cof-
fin of Mathis; and George Kline and
Roy Whiteley of Gregory.
DIPTHERIA CASE IN SCHOOL
Little Jewell Williams, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Williams, became
ill at school Friday, and was taken by
her teacher, Miss Ouida Dodson, to
her boarding place, the home of Mrs.
Sam Preston and put to bed. Later a
physician was called and her sickness
was pronounced diptheria. Miss Dod-
son and a .large number of the chil-
dren of her grade, the fourth, took the
serum rendering them immune tor a
number of weeks from diptheria, and
the room was thoroughly fumigated.
The little girl is recovering rapidly
and no other case has yet developed.
Mr. Beckworth has instructed his
teachers to keep a close watch on the
children for any signs of another case
that might appear. He advises that
if a child is complaining, it would be
better for the parents to keep him
home and take care of him and wateh
for developments. The health officer
reports that not a high per cent of
those exposed to diptheria ever de-
velop it. Those who have been excited
over the situation are urged to allay
their fears, as it is very possible that
rib other case will develop.

You are invited to attend the meet-

(Thursday) and see the Health Play
the children will give.

for the fever heat of excitement pre-
vailing among Sinton baseball fans,
who have been listening in every day
as the World series games progressed
this week, in Pittsburg and Washing-
ton.
Great was the disappointment when
the news came Wednesday that the

the closing game would not be played
till Thursday.
