FRED WATKINS
Fred has the destinction of be-
ing the only young man in his
class. Three vears ago he had a
dozen companions of his sex, but
they have all fallen by the way-
side. Some on account of lazi-
i
ness and indifference, others be-
cause they lacked the mental
ability and courage to continue
on a road necessarily offering
various difficulties that must be
overcome to accomplish nny lung

Letter from Frank Tidwell,
Baird. Texas.
To The Standard and my Tolar
friends:
1 was very sorry indeed to
hear oi uiv old town being al-
most wiped out by fire, but wish
you success in building back a
better town with more substan-
tial buildings.
I have been away from Tolar
three years, am living at Bail'd,
Callahan county, have lived here
ever since I left Tolar. I like
Baird tine, it is a beautiful and
thriving city of 3000 people and is
the county seat. This town is
on the Texas A: Pacific railroad,
110 miles west of Fort Worth,
and is the terminus of the first
division and a large force ot men
are employed in the round house
and repair shops. The monthly
payroll amounting to about
$20,000.
Baird has an excellent system
of water works, telephone sys-
tem and electric light plant, a
college and fine public schools.
Recently voted $20,000 bonds to
erect a modern brick or stone
school building.
All churches are represented
here and own their places of
worship.
All lines of mercantile business
are well represented, and the
citizenship is composed of the
best people of the state, who are
alive to the best interest of their
town and county.
Chills, fever and malaria are

Often all a man earns goes to
doctors or for medicines, to cure
a stomach,liver or kidney trouble

She asked him how much he

Thfit’s the way you feel about
the lungs when you have a hack-
ing cough. It’s foolishness to
let it go on and trust to luck to
get over it, when Ballard’s Hore-
hound Syrup will stop the cough
and heal the lungs. Price 25c,

and ready with repartee she is
a general favorite with ail her
classmates, and a two edged
sword when it comes to resent-
ing any insinuations from the
Juniors that her class is not the
"best oyer.” She is always a
better and brighter girl than die
would have you believe.
JUANITA DUVALL
Although the youngest tn
her of her class, Juanita is an
alround scholar, with especial
ability in Latin. She is of poet-
ical temperament, and might
have been the “class poet. ” if it
were necessary to have such a
functionary in the modern high
school. She is expecting to car-
ry her education further than
the common schools, and none of
her friends doubt that she will
“make good” anywhere. Knowl-
edge seems to break in upon her
mind like a flood of light, and she
is happy in the mere joy of
breaking down the barriers of
ignorance.
MYRTLE MITCHELL
Calm and dignified, when she
desires to play that role, Myrtle
is a general favorite on account
of her genial humor, She is
especially strong in English,
and is fond of good literature
and has a keen insight into the
philosophy of great historical
movements. She has the judic-
ial characteristics of mind to
make a teacher and we predict
that should she forego matrimo-
ny for a few years she would

DONNA RAKER
The valedictorian of her class
It was a foregone conclusion,
after the first term examination,
that Donna had won this distinc-
tion. She is strong minded al-
most to masculinity, and is a
bright scholar. Possessing
strong convictions as to right
and wrong, she dares to speak
her mind on any subject. Yet
beneath what might be taken for
obstinacy by some is a kind
heart, and a lovable disposition.
Her work in every branch just
about average- up with every
other, and she, if she chooses to
