Sound System Installed
In Auditorium As
Senior Project
Give some Addison girls a
new lipstick and a fresh pow-
der rag and its amazing how
long they can amuse them-
selves.
One objection to “keeping
up with the Joneses” is you
keep behind with the butcher
and grocer.
It's getting so that about
the only things farmers around
in Texas can keep without
spraying are the grindstone
and the mortgage.
Even the Richardson man
who has no enemies probably
has a few friends of whom he
is ashamed.
A loud speaking system has been
installed in the auditorium, giving I
more comfort and enjoyment for
those attending programs The!
senior class is financing this project ■
as their annual one.
The equipment was used for the
first time at the Home-Coming pro-
gram. Roy Gravley was instru-
mental in having it here for that
occasion, and because of its merit
in remedying the chief fault in our
auditorium, that of poor acoustics
the seniors decided it would be |
the most worthwhile undertaking.
It is possible for the apparatus to be
moved to any other part of the
building.
The cost of the project is estimat-
ed at ninety dollars, and it will be
financed chiefly through the annual
class play in April.
Projects of graduating clabses
during previous years are building
of fence around football field, com-
pletion of fence in front of the grade
school building, purchase of foot-
ball sweaters for two years, set of
Rudyard Kipling’s works, a safe for
the office, and a stage for the grade
school auditorium.
All we know about our newly-
married associate is what his neigh-
bors tell us, and here’s the latest
one, says the Washington Post:
Seems a quarrel had started in
some inexplicable fashion, and it
went on almost all night. Came
morning and the husband awoke to
hear his wife rummaging 'round
downstairs, and decided to make
peace.
"What are you cooking me for
breakfast, hon?" he called down.
There came an angry murmur,
concluding with a tart: ‘‘Rats!"
Our associate didn’t give up.
"Okay, sweet," he cooed. "Cook one
for yourself, but just fry an egg for
me."

The Future Farmers of America
Ciub, sponsored by Ralph Sanders,
meets every first and third Tuesday
night of each month. Each boy in
the organization is required to
carry three projects, one major and
two minor ones. 'Ihe majority of
the projects will center around poul-
try and livestock. These boys are
learning to abandon the old idea of
raising all cotton and nothing to
eat.
Every boy enrolled in the voca-
tional agricultural classes is a mem-
ber of the clufi. All club work sup-
plements that done in class.
One event the F. F. A. Club is
looking forwaad to is the Father-

club is a picnic to be given the Pep
Squad girls as soon as the weather
permits.

LIGHT COMPANY
Sensitive Golfer (who has foozled)
—Did you laugh at me, boy?
Caddie—No, sir; I was laughing
at another man.
Golfer—What’s funny about him?
Caddie—He plays golf like you,
sir.
Daffy Tale
A nut was smoking a cigarette—
but he was placing the lighted end
in his mouth. A passerby watched
the nut for a moment, and then
couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Hey, you!" he shouted. “What’s
the idea of putting a lighted cigar-
ette in your mouth?”
The nut shrugged.
“It’s the best I can do,” he sighed.
“I can’t afford a cigar.”—New York
Mirror.
Ever Thus
A young man walked up to one 0?
the clerks at the employment ex-
change. “Is this where you pay out
eternity benefit?” he asked.
“My good fellow, I presume you
mean maternity benefit, do you
not?”
“No, I mean eternity benefit.”
“Do you know that eternity means
the hereafter?”
“That’s right. I’m here after it,
ain’t I?”
Training
The bright young thing came into
the room and smiled at her mother.
“Mother,” she said, “I must have
some money for a new dress. Will
you ask daddy for it?”
“Ask him yourself, dear,” was
mother’s reply. “You are getting
married in a month’s time and you
must have some practice.”—Lon-
don Answers Magazine.
Alfalfa?
The sweet young thing watched
the cowboy swinging his lasso in the
grounds of the circus.
“My,” she remarked, “what a
long rope. What do you use it for?”
“Waal, lady,” he drawled, "out
west on my ranch, I use it for
catching cows."
“How interesting,” replied the
young lady, politely. “Tell me, what
do you use for bait?”
TO THE SOUTH
Rube Bug—Can you direct me to
Avenue “A”?
Bug Cop—Three blocks down.
Presence of Mind
“Oh, John,” screamed the excit-
ed woman driver, “the car is run-
ning away.”
“Can you stop it?” asked the wor-
ried husband.
"No.”
“Well, then, see if you can’t hit
something cheap.”
Ventilators Installed
Hard on Him
Jake—My wife’s reducing. She
walks a couple miles a day, and
works one of those rowing machines
an hour every night.
Mike—My wife's not reducing, but
she takes plenty of exercise. She's
always jumping at conclusions, and
running up bills.
A Word of Wisdom
We are not trying to tell you
your business, or rtgulate your
affairs, but a sensible sugges-
tion is never out of place—and
here is a timely and sensible
one. Before you are tempted
to answering the alluring mail-
order ads offering Christmas
gifts or holiday goods, waits
little while and see what local
merchants will have to offer
you They will no doubt show
about the same type of goods,
and there’s always the chance
you will see something here at
home you will want more than
you'll want the mail order
merchandise alter it gets here.
It's only home-town loyalty to
do this, but for your own sat-
isfaction, and with a view, to
making your own Christmas &
happier one, it’s the sensible
thing to do. It won’t be long
now until local merchants will
be displaying their holiday
wares, and advertising them.
So be patient, be loyal to your
home town, and be economical
at the same time. Let the mail-
order ads go this year and buy
ajl your Christmas merchan-
dise that you can right here
at home; and this applies to
the parties who come 'o your
door and try to do your mer-
merchandising thru such an
agency.
Billboards never Built a town
and Bill boards never kept up a
town, and the house to house
peddlnr never did much build-,
idg either.
Lester Elanton says that
whenever a fellow stops you
on the street and says he is
going to be perfectly frank
with you, you’d better get
ready to hear some bad news.
Some Coppell old timers can
remember w hen the only time
a woman appeared on the
streets with as little on as she
wears now was when her house
caught fire.
