* Mothers Prepare
For Opening of1
* School Session
'Back to School' Activity
Is Feverish As Opening:
) Day Not Far Ahead
Mother's not playing bridge
this week, neither is she finding
time for her favorite book, even
} though cold lunch is being set
out each day.
The theme song in every ur-
ban and rural home now Is
* "School days, school days, dear
> old golden rule days." With the
opening of the term just a week
away households are humming
with activities, sewing and mend-
ing being the major objectives.
Fall shopping expeditions are
being completed and everything
in readiness for the routine of
school work.
When the seven city schools
open classes Monday, Sept. 12,
) seventy-seven instructors are to
be on hand to take up duties as
teachers in the various grades,
and recreational departments.
Eumeratad in the two high
schools, three wards, Mexican
> and negro schools are 2,573 pu-
pils.
Forty-four instructors are to
guide the rural schools of No-
lan county this year. There are
% 10 districts operating after con-
* solidation of five making up
Highland; Wastella contracting
to Pyron, Stamper to Sweetwat-
er. In these districts 1,154 pu-
pils are enumerated.
« Roscoe independent district
has 44!) pupils who are to at-
tend classes in a new $80,000
building, completed only recent-
ly, where a faculty of 17 teach-
ers is employed.
* School bells soon will ring
for 4,281 youngsters, and mama
may resume her bridge.

% 'SILK SHIRT KID'
TO TRY MIDNIGHT
Among Blackwell entries
in the Double Heart round-
up Sept. 3, 4 and Labor Day
^ will be G. K. Lewallen, "The
Silk Shirt Kid" of rodeos.
Lewallen is an expert bull
rider but may hav. his
hands full when he tackles
the tough Brahma steers 01-
? lie Cox, Double Heart ranch
owner, is furnishing for tne
show.
"The Silk Shirt Kid," as
he is familiarly known, also
has a lot of luck staying on
broncs and is going to try
his "fate" with "Midnight,"
the newest addition to the
Cox string of unridden hors-
es.
At The
Theatres
mgmm
Constance Moore and Paul
Kelly as tlicy appear in
"'f iitj Missing Guest", the
contest qui'/, picture which
shows today at the Texas.
NOTED RADIO WRITER
PENS FILM MYSTERY
"The Missing Guest", hilarious
spook-mystery film now showing
at the Texas Theatre, marks the
first motion picture writing job
for Charles Martin, a short time
ago a big favorite in radioland.
The film, which features Paul
Kelly, William Lundigan, Con-
stance Moore, Edward Stanley,
Selmer Jackson and other well
known players, revolves around
the efforts of Kelly, as Scoop
Hanlon, rambunctious young re-
porter, to solve the secret of the
notoriously haunted Blue Room.
CROSBY CROONS
TO CARLISLE
Bing Crosby lays seige to the
heart of beautiful Mary Carlisle
with a battery of four new hit
songs, and Beatrice Lillie, the
darling of British and American
theatregoers, supplies the rap-
id-fire comedy in t*he new musi-
cal, "Doctor Rhythm," which
is showing at the Ritz theatre
today.
Mary Carlisle, the romantic in-
terest of the piece, with this
performance established hersetf
as the only actress who has
twice repeated as Bing's lead-
ing lady. Others in the "Doctor
Rhythm" cast are Andv Do vino,
Laura Hope Crews, Sterling Hoi-
loway and a menagerie of per-
forming animals.

Highway Department
Faces Damage Suits
AUSTIN — The highway de-
partment was named defendant
in 11 suits for total damages of
$343,778 in connection with al-
leged damage to rich farming
lands soiltii of Gonzales when
the floodgates of Buchanan Dam

Team Stacks Up Better
Than Squad Last Year,
Seventeen Lettermen
CANYON — Head Coach A1
Baggett, back limne after a
summer of study in Columbia
university of New York, is
smiling broadly as lie contem-
plates the coming football sea-
son and the opening of the
training camp September 5.
While it is impossible to lose
men like Lwood Dow — now a
professional with the Philadel-
phia Eagles—Conway Butler, Os-
car Hinger, Tom Slack, and
Craig Walling, and not have a
rebuilding job, Baggett will
have more weight, more exper-
ience, and a better balanced team
than the 1937 outfit. There will
be more threats on the offense,
and the defense should be bet-
ter.
Seventeen Letlrrmcn
Seventeen lettermen will be
bolstered by a long list of strong
reserves. Last season the Buffa-
loes lost their first string cen-
ter, Si Marchbanks, and shortly
afterward Ed Williams, reserve
center, was benched because of
a neck injury. Jack Edmondaon
finished out the season, but sev-
eral games went by before the
machine began functioning
smoothly.
Co-Captain Henry Fields of
Groom has been moved to cen-
ter, where he performed splen-
didly in spring practice. Edmond-
son is doing well, Melvin Cul-
lender is a capable reserve, and
Williams is producing doctors'
certificates to convince the
coaches that he could play again
without danger.
Strong Kicking
Big F. A. Thomas of Canyon
is being groomed for the main
fullback role, assisted by George
Washington of Matador. Both
are excellent kickers. Blocking
backs include Carl Matney of
Vernon, a veteran and a power-
ful line backer: Hill Strain of
Canyon, a big fellow; and Jim
Foust of Littlefield, soph ace.
Blake Lyde, co-captain who
was a ffine blocking back last
year, will be an offensive half-
back this season. He is an excel-
lent ball carrier, steady and
strong. He is from Childress.
Foster Watkins of Dumas, elu-
sive ball carrier, kicker, and one
of the best passers in the state,
will be the No. 1 quarterback.
Floyd Murry of Floydada, small
but amazingly fast, will be an-
other member of the brain trust
Murry and Watkins kick well.
The backfleld, with strong re-
serves, is expected to use ail
open, versatile attack, with Tall Left End
much running and passing. But
the power will be there for
heavy thrusts when needed.
Another major move is one
which leaves Lother Stephen-
son, C foot 7 inch tackle from
Anton, at left end. Step
will pull in the passes on
fense and mow down the <
