Six hundred w’ords to be used
in the Interscholastic Meet con-
test have been sent to us. By
the high school taking ten words
a day we expect to go over the
list of words before the meet.
Miss Georgia Mae Puckett upon

school, has begun her school
duties here. We are glad to
welcome her in our midst again.
Farris Baker, Roy Rooney,
Merle McDonald and Sim Reeves
were in a run-away accident the
past week. Only Farris scored.
While the sprained ankle was
somewhat painful, the sympathy
and notoriety of using crutches
made up to some extent for the
pain.
Directors for the Pecos County
Interscholastic Meet are as fol-
lows:
Director General: C.V.Comp-

Director of Debate and Dec-

Director of Spelling: Miss
Cora White, Ruenavista.
THRIFT SAVING STAMPS
There is a patriotic movement
progressing rapidly, to establish
in our school, a school savings
bank. We hope that the move-
ment may be successful, as by
placing our thrift stamps in it,
we may help the U. S. greatly,
and make our school stand for
something in upholding our na-
tion.
The double record, “The Girl I
Left Behind” and “A Hot Time
in the Old Town” was given the
school by Maud Burke. Mr.
Westerman gave the following
double records :
(1) “Over There” (2) “Where
Did He Go From Here?” (3)
“Illinois Loyalty March.” (4)
“Chicago We’re True To You,”
We deeply appreciate these
valuable records.
Last week the last of the books
from the Valley View- school
were sent in. The volumes, in
all about one hundred and thirty.
| consist of valuable editions of
reference books, etc. We are to
j return these books to the Valley
jVievv school should it ever be
i re-opened. These books, which
have been placed in the sixth
grade room, are a helpful addi-
tion to our library, and we deep-
ly appreciate the generous loan
of the Valley View school pat-
rons.
Mid-term examinations will
commence on the twenty-third
day of January, at 10 o’clock a.
m.# There will be no exemptions
in the high school on account of
the school's striving for state
affiliation. It would not be fair
to the reputation of our school
to send to the State University
the examination papers of only
those who have failed to make
| the required average. In the
grades all who have made an
average of B in deportment and
in their grades will be exempt

MANUAL TRAINING
(John Achtertwriri
Monday the manual training
class started to work preparing
to make concrete bases upon
which the machines will be
placed.
The school is very anxious to
know just the purpose of the
pits in the manual training room.
The following are some of the
suggestions offered. Some say
they are storm cellars; others
suggest that they are minature
swimming pools; the latest sug-
gestion is that they may be
practice trenches.

SURGEONS agree that in
cases of Cuts, Burns, Bruises
and Wounds,the FIRST TREAT-
MENT is most important. When
an EFFICIENT antiseptic is ap-
plied promptly, there is no dan-
ger of infection and the wound
begins to heal at dn?e. For use
on man or beast, BOROZONE is
the IDEAL ANTISEPTIC and
HEALING AGENT. Buy it now
and be ready for any emergency.

most every citizen of our county.
During the years Mr. Barker

been faithfully on the job. His
courtesy to all worthy, hi* stead-

know they are crossing the path
that makes it the duty of Sheriff
Barker to deal them justice ac-
cording to the demands of the
law.

_____
In the culmination here the
first of the w’eek of a suit for
damages against the Kansas
| City, Mexico & Orient Railway
Company of Texas, R. T. Dur-
rett, of Nashville, Tenn., former-
, ly of Fort Stockton, received
$9,600. Whether or not the
case was closed by judgment of
a court or compromise could not
be learned Friday morning.
Judge H. S. Garrett, general at-
torney for the railroad, declining
to make a statement in regard
to the suit.
Durrett until two years ago
was manager ot the telephone
exchange in Fort Stockton. One
day, while at Big f,ake on busi-
ness, his automobile was crushed
by an Orient train, so he alleged
in his petition, and he sustained
injuries about the back and spine
that forced him to use crutches
even after leaving the bed where
he had been confined.
Durrett sued the road for
$o ',000 and the case was tried in
the district court of Pecos coun-
ty. The judgment was unsatis-
factory to the road and an ap-
peal was taken. It is s^id that
I the awarding to Durrett of
$9,6(H) this week w’as the final
decision of a higher court on the
matter.
Judge Walter Gillis of Del Rio,
Thurman & Jones of the same
town and W. A. Hadden of Fort
Stockton represented the plain-
tiff in the suit against the rail-
road. Mr. Hadden and J. M.
Durrett of Nashville accompanied
Mr. Durrett to San Angelo the
first of the week. The party
left the city on Thursday.—San
