Installation of Roller Stage Curtain
Recently an attractive stage cur-
tain was installed in our school build-
ing. Not only will this curtain be an
attractive addition, but it will greatly
facilitate the presentation of pro-
grams which are given occasionally
during the school term. The writer
experiences pleasure in mentioning
that this curtain was prepared by the
Horak Scenic Studios of Weimar and
made .possible by the following list
of progressive business establish-
ments:
Baca’s Band and Orchestra.
E. J. Knesek.
Hotman & Zdaril.
Industry Cooperative Association.
Rek’s Service Station.
Rud. A. Baca.
F. J. Piwetz, Jr.
E. Sarrazin.
LaGrange Cotton & Oil Mfg. Co.
Day and Night Service Station.
E. C. Minssen.
E. Llndeman Stdre. *
R. B. Spacek.
Lee Heinsohn.
Mrs. C. J. Klimicek.
Emil Zapalac.
Zenkner Garage.
■ The Albrechts.
The board of trustees and the pa-
trons of the school are especially de-
sirous of expressing their heartfelt
appreciation to Mr. Beck of the
Horak Studios 'for his efforts in ob-
taining contributors, and to all the
contributors for making this curtain
available fn our school. Since it is
believed that the willingness of the
contributors was prompted by a feel-
ing of appreciation for past benefits
rather than for benefits to be derived
1j the future, we feel even more
grateful to those who were responsi-
ble for the installation of this equip-
ment in our school.
Improvements at Local Ginnery
H. Melcher, our local ginner, is
making vast improvements at hk gin.
A new concrete foundation k being
put down upon which he is replacing
his old gin stands and cleaning sys-
tem by more modern and improved
equipment, all of which, of. course,
goes to indicate that Mr. Melcher is
desirous of rendering to his patrons
the best service available and at the
same time conduct his interesta in a
more efficient manner.

HIGH HILL
Easter Sunday came with a cold
spell, and a strong north wind. Sand
being blown into some of the fields
is bad and some of the Spring crops
are damaged by the cold. Young cot-
ton that has come up will probably
die, and more seed will have to be
planted. Corn id up but growing
slowly on account of the cold weath-
er.
Fred Smith opened his butcher shop
last Saturday morning; he had nice
meat for sale, and says he expects
to kill twice each week next month.
Adolph Kainer is back home from
San Antonio where he has been in a
hospital. He is doing nicely.
Milk is very cheap when farmers
have to sell, but has a good price in
retail. Cream also is cheap, but but-
ter retains a good price on the mar-
ket.
We hope to see a change in the
price of farm products, and would
not object if the change came soon.
Thread and all cotton goods are
high; hides sell for lV4c but shoes
are high. . —Dick.
JUSTICE COURT
GLEE CLUB PROGRAM AT
SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
The following cases have been
docketed in ’Squire Schleier’s court
since our last report:
Dave Warren, charged with drunk-
enness April, plead guilty and paid
a fine of $1 and costs.
Jim Byler, charged with drunken-
ness April 2; pending.
Dave Warren, charged with drunk-
enness April 3, plead guilty and paid
a fine of $1 and costs.
C. J. Holden, charged with disturb-
ing the peace April 3, plead guilty
and paid a fine of $1 and costs.
David Hornsby, charged with dis-
turbing the peace April 6, plead guil-
ty and paid a fine of $1 and costs.
VANDALISM
Arthur Preaun, manager of the
Texaco station on the West end dis-
covered the lock on one of his oil
tanks, containing buss oil, had been
broken and several gallons, the exact
amount is not known, had been stolen,
Tuesday night. The stealing of the
liquid was bad enough, but the man-
Tuesday evening a splendid pro-
gram was rendered in the High School
auditorium by the Men’s Glee Club of
Baylor University, directed by Robt.
Hopkins with Guy Woods accompan-
ist. Their orchestra was directed by
Pedro Martinez.
Their numbers wee exceedingly
good and a rare treat to the atten-
tive audience. Special mention is giv-
en Lytle Powell of Gatesville, 16-
years old freshman whose piano se-
lection was an outstanding feature
of the program.
The boys gave three programs
throughout the day, the first at the
Lions luncheon; in the afternoon they
played for the student body and fat-
uity, and at night their regular pro-
gram for the general public.
Bringing this fine bunch of boys
here at the cost of $35.00, and having
three entertainments, points out the
fact that they are out from an enter-
tainment standpoint and not a com-
mercial proposition. The door receipts
were $54.85, leaving a net profit of
$19.85 which goes towards the Ath-
letic Association fund.
Mesdames Kroll, Wm. Hofmann
and DuPuy had supper on the banks
of the river for the visitors, and af-
ter the program Mrs. Jake Alexander
entertained them in her home with
an informal party.
We hope to have this splendid
group of young men with us again
next year. ,
ager waxed wrath when he found
that his heretofore spotless driveway
was spattered with. oil.
