J. W. Benson & Son are installing
a 3-ear capacity cold storage plant at
their produce house near the Gulf
Coast Lines railroad, on Sinton street.
It is a 5x5 Frick Amonia Refrigerating
plant, and is being installed by the
San Antonio Maclpne & Supply Com-
pany, of San Antonio, and will cost
something like $6,000.
This will be of great value to this
huatling firm, as it will enable them
to handle more fruit and vegetables
more economically, and they will also
be able to do cold storage service for
the public, which will be a great con-
venience.
Mr. Benson informs us that they will
have the new plant in operation about
the 15th of October.
Benson & Son have the right idea;
they believe in the town and are wil-,
ling to put money in their. business,
thus enabling them to do more busi-
ness, and at the same time build up
the town.

WONDERFUL TRIP
MOST
w
Mr. and Mrs. M. H. McCammon,
Miss Ethel McCammon, Robert and
Harry; Mr. and Mrs. Ray McCammon
and family; Mr. and Mrs. Victor Mc-
Cammon composed a’family party en-
joying a five weeks’ motoring trip in-
to Kansas and Colorado.
The party visited a number of rel-
atives of both Mr. and Mrs. ftlcCam-
mon during their trip, among them,
Mrs. McCammon’s father and mother.
Robert and Victor had the novel ex-
perience of climbing Pike’s Peak in
a six-inch snow storm. The others of
the party made the trip by the cog
road. In Mr. McCammon’s young days
he used to make the trip up the Peak
in a wagon.
An unusual feature of the days en-
joyment at Pike’s Peak was that it
happened to be the 32nd. anniversary
of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. M. H.
McCammon; the fourth anniversary of
the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Victor
McCammon; and the 60th anniversary'
of the wedding of Mrs. M. H. McCam-
mon’s father and mother.
The McCammons report a wonder-
ful trip and are full of interesting de-
tails and experiences that make us all
wish we had gone, too.
of the vicinity enter school. Miss
Moore is enrolling new pupils who are
coming in during the week, but others
are not making any start and will be
notified to attend school.
Miss Moore is enthusiastic and a
willing worker and will, doubtless
a good teacher for the school.
Eads
A new Mexican school was organ-
ized at Eads Monday morning for the
accommodation of the Mexican chil-
dren of that vicinity, who are too far
away to attend the Sinton and St.
Paul schools. Twrenty-seven children
enrolled on the first day, and a num-
ber of others will enter in the next
few days.
H. T. Beckwortli assisted Miss Mary
Russell in the organization of the
new school. A number of Mexican
citizens attended the opening of
school, among them C% DeLeon, who
was of great assistance to the organ-
izers, making a correct list of the un-
familiar Mexican names and ages of
the children, and repeating to the
children in their own language, the
instructions given by Mr. Beckwortli.
The Mexican people and their chil-
dren seem very enthusiastic over the
new school and the parents are very-
appreciative of their children’s oppor-
tunities. Miss Russell is entering the
work with every desire to make the
work a success, and with the co-op-
eration of the parents, will make the
new venture a worthwhile one.
Ernest Jones, school trustee, Mrs.
Jones and Mrs. H. T. Beckwortli were
also among the interested visitors
present at the opening of school.
Officials of the Blacklanders. Inc.,
ha ve completed their preliminary j
plans in regard to running a huge
special train to the Dallas Fair.
George Palmer, County Agent of

MORE STUDENTS LEAVE FOR
COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY
Since we printed the list of stu-
dents leaving Sinton for college or
university work, w-e have learned of
four others w-ho decided to' complete
their education and who have left this
week to enter school. Miss Lora
Cleveland, w-ho attended Baylor Col-
lege last year, left Sunday for Austin
where she will enter the State Univers-
ity to continue her studies. Willburn
Bentley, a graduate of San Marcos
High school left-Sunday for San Mar-
cos to enter the Southwest Texas
State Teachers’ College. Miss Emma-
gene Donaho, a graduate of Sinton
High school, left Monday for Kings-
ville to enter a twelve months’ term
of South Texas State Teachers College.
Joe Johnson left Monday for Austin
where he will continue his aducation
at St. Edwards College.
Robert Hodges, a former Sinton
graduate, who has been attending
school at San Marcos, is attending A.
& M. College this year.
entertainment, on a
short notice arranged the following
program: “A Resume of My Trip
West.”—J. E. Dodson; “Pulling To-
gether,”-—B. F. Benson; “Hpw a Fat
Man With a Good Appetite Can Re-
duce.”^—Judge T. M. Cox of Beevilie.
Mr. Dodson told of the recent trip
he. with his wife and daughter took
to “where the west begins” (in Texas),
Mason. Brady. Abilene. Seymour, Ard-
More. Oklahoma, Sulphur and Davis,
Oklahoma. Mr. Dodson said he had
found on observation and investiga-
i .*
tion, that we people of this section
live beyond our means; that sections
of the state that were accustomed to
droughts and failures year after year,
laid up something in the fat years to
provide for the lean years, and that
we should follow their splendid ex-
ample. He also stressed the neces-
sity of co-operation of business men
and farmers to make a city or country
grow. He said he saw numbers of
good towns on his trip, but he re-
turned with the conviction that Sin-
ton was just as good in many re-
spects as any of them, and had every
opportunity for becoming better than
the most of them.
Ben Benson? though quite a young
business man. made a good speech on
“Pulling Together.” He stressed ad-
vertising as a means of business ad-
vancement., especially Trades Day ad-
vertising. He showed how co-opera-
tion. benefitted the man himself, his
competitor, his town and the sur-
rounding country.
Judge Cox. choosing his own sub-
ject, told in his own pleasing manner
how he had tried every known recipe
for a fat man to reduce, increasing in
weight all the time; how he walked
miles* before breakfast, had rolled to
music, n’everything, and finally had
discovered that by eating no supper,
he could lose weight. He had done
without supper every night for three
weeks, and had lost twelve'pounds,
and was now recommending that plan
to the overfat. Judge Russell, who
was listening very intently while
Judge Cox spoke, very carefully took
notes on ‘ How to Reduce,” and plans
to try the plan used by Judge Cox at
once. - ■ ' • ■

PEEL INSTALLS AMBULANCE
David Peel has installed permanent
ambulance service for Sinton_ and vi-
cinity. Lester Walker brought the
vehicle in from Corpus Christi Tues-
day. a He reports it to be one of mod-
ern make, with air cushions on which
the cot for the sick or injured will
ride.
While we are hoping that the ambu-
lance will not often be called into
service, at the same time is it a satis-
faction to know that in case of an
emergency, it will be in easy reach and
call. Like many other things, it is a
“necessary’ evil.”

Pharmacy.—Adv. 33-2
Miss Opal Eastman, seventeen year
old daughter of Dr. J. G Eastman „of
Odem, sustained a broken rigid leg, a
fractured left leg and severe bruises
of the body in an automobile accident
occurring at 5 o’clock Tuesday after-
noon on the Spring road about 15
miles from Houston.
Dr. Eastman and his daughter were
returning to their home in Odem after
a visit to Houston, when a front wheel
of the ear gave way, overturning the
car. Miss Eastman was taken by am-
bulance to Rt Joseph’s infirmary in
Houston. It is reported that her in-
juries are quite serious. 1
A number of citizens of the Adams
community, in the hope of securing
oil in that section, signed up this
week for their total acreage, amount-
ing to 3000 acres, for a solid block of
land on which drilling will be begun
for oil. Mr. Price, who is behind the
project, is assembling 5000 acres,
3000 of which have been secured. ^As
soon as the other 2000 are secured, a
geologist will be on the ground to
make his investigations, when a dril-
ler will be put on the job. A number
of people in that section who are in-
' terested in the project are very en-
j thusiastic over the possibility of oil.
j and are anxious that others in the
i neighborhood join t hem
It is the general opinion that oil can
be found in the county somewhere, as

The teachers of the school formed
a receving line, and everybody pres-
ent had the pleasure of striking hands
with the splendid company of young
people employed by the Sinton School
Board to conduct the city schools dur
ing the year. 1 ;
A delightful and entertaining pro-
gram. with Mrs. C. L. Grubbs in
charge, occupied the first part of the
evening, opening with a band selec-
tion. Master James Dawson made a
spicy little speech welcoming the
teachers to the city. Mr. Beckworth.
responded for the teachers and
thanked the P. T. A. and especially
the ladies of the entertainment com-
mittee for the splendid entertainment
Miss Inez Sipes read the old favorite,
“That Old Sweetheart of Mine,” very
sweetly, accompanied by Mr. George
Beever in his violin, and gave a clever
little encore when applause brought
her to the platform again. Mrs. Susan
Sipes made a splendid talk, full of
good sense, sound judgment, and hu-
morous jokes, on “The Part of Parent
and Teacher in a Successful School.”
Mr. Vermillion made a splendid ex-
temporaneous talk on the "Co-opera-
tion of Parents.” The band delighted
the assembly with a number of favor-
ite selections, among them “Indian
Boy” with its chorus of Indian yells^
and “Square Deal” march,” with a sud-
den gun-shot to create excitement, and
make the children jump«s -
The ladies of the entertainment
committee, who were assisted in serv-
ing by a number of the young ladies
of the town, served a delicious lunch
in cartons, following it with an ice
course. Each teacher received a lit-
tle gift—loose-leaf leather note books
for the men, and hand-painted powder
puffs for the ladies.
Those attending the reception pro-
nounced it one of the most enjoyable
affairs the P. T. A. has ever arranged
for the teachers.
Ladies responsible for the success
of the evening were: Chairman of the-
entertainment committee, Mrs. R. C.
Nichols; Chairman of the arrangement
and program committee, Mrs. C. L.
Grubbs—Mrs. J. J. Sparks, Mrs. R. L.
Frazer, Mrs. N. A. East, Mrs. C. F.

mittee, Mrs. W. S. Slocomb—Mrs. M.
W. Williams, Mrs. W. M. Stalcup,
Mrs. P. H. Gay, Mrs. M. H. McCammon
and Mrs. J. V. Swinny
The entertainment committee takes
this method of thanking the members
of the P. T. A. for their splendid co-
operation and assistance in making
the affair an enjoyable one.
