For Theatre
Tickets Monday
Kiddies of Hereford may see a
good show and at the same time
help make less fortunate child-
ren happy at Christmas time
by attending the toy matinee at
the Star Theatre Monday after-

- bring a toy and see the show.
The two matinees Monday after-
noon are open to all children
In this territory who are under
high school age.
All toys received at the thea-
tre will be repaired and repaint-
ed by members of the Lone Star
Study club, which has sponsor-
ed this project for several years.
At Christmas, they will be dis-
tributed to heads of needy fami-
lies whose children would other-
wise suffer the disappointment
of a toyless Christmas.
The Star Theatre is cooperat-
ing with the 8tudy club in spon-
soring the maMnees and has an-
nounced one of the better shows
of the season for that date. The
movie Is "Lucky Partners," and
stars Ronald Coleman and Gin-

County Read
Bend Election
Being Talked
Due to considerable discussion,
pro and con, some saying that
Deaf Smith county is “sticking
its neck out’’ and others saying
that the county lias “every-
thing to gain and nothing to
lose,’’ the Brand reprints below
from the petition to the Com-
missioners’ Court the statement
regarding state assumption of
the bonds.
“But it is herein expressly stip-
ulated that if the proposition for
the issuance of the proposed
bonds is approved by the nec-
essary vote of the qualified elect-
ors of said county at such elec-
tion, the bonds will be issued
and sold and the tax levied in
payment thereof when and only
when the county receives from
the State Highway Commission
and the Board of County and
District Road Indebtedness de-
finite assurance that the roads
hereinabove described will be
taken over, acquired or purchas-
ed by the State of Texas, and
that the principal of and In-
terest on said bonds will be paid
out of funds lawfully appropriat-

pose by the proper state agency;

Hereford’s opponent in the Bi-

almost certain to be the Phil-
lip’s Blackhawks, according to
all available dope. The Black-
hawks have a record of eight
straight wins this season with
no losses. Their wins Include a
14-0 tilt over Panhandle, pre-
viously considered to be one of
the title contenders and a 16-0
licking they handed the Perry-
ton Rangers last week. Phillips
has yet to win over White Deer
and If they beat the Bucks they
will have cinched championship
of District 2-A. Phillips has a
good edge over White Deer. Pan-
handle beat the Bucks 7-0. Can-
adian also walloped the Bucks
and Phillips beat Canadian. Phil-

The game will renew the rivalry
of 1928 when Hereford and Mem-
