Hides for Bass Drums
Steer or cow hides are used in the
manufacture of the larger size bass-
Uruni heads, calf on the smaller. A
large manufacturer of drums says:
•'We had occasion to make an excep-
tionally large drum—in fact, the larg-
est which was ever constructed—some
few years ago for the University of
Chicago. This drum measured eight
feet and some inches, and the skin
which was used for the head of this
drum measured, when trimmed ready
for mounting, 102 inches. Our order
for this drum called for as large a
bass drum as possible, and, of course
the size of the drum was determined
by the size of hide which was avail-
able at that time. Our purchasing
department made a trip to the Union
stock yards of Chicago; spent three
days at the stock yards looking over
the cattle for these hides, and as the
bass drum had two heads it was neces-
sary to find two just alike. The aetual
cost of this instrument to us—in other
words, our factory cost—was $1,100,
which cost included special tools re-
quired in the manufacture of this in-
strument."
Positive Proof
Mrs. Jones was one day accosted by
a beggar whose healthy appearance
startled even her into doubt of the
need of charity in this case.
"Why!" she exclaimed, "you look
well able to work."
"Yes," replied the beggar, "but 1
have been deaf and dumb for seven
years."
"Poor man! What an affliction,"
said Mrs. Jones, as she handed him
a dime.
On returning home she related the
instance, and remarked:
"What a dreadful thing it is to be
deprived of such faculties!"
"But how," asked her daughter,
"did you know the man was deaf and
dumb?"
"Why?" replied Mrs. Jones inno
cently, he told uie so!"

those who place money into the pro-
position and also a secure investment,
but the altruistic purposes which this
building would serve would more than
justify such an errection.
Too much serious thought cannot
be given toward the erection of a good
substantial building to house civic act-
ivities. Mineola needs this—so let
the program go forward.

EDUCATIONAL RALLY
TO CONVENE IN QUITMAN
On a Diet
"Yes, I'm dieting," said the woman
who was growing quite plump. "You
see I made a mistake in my lip-read-
ing at the Speech Readers' club the
other day. The instructor said (for
us to read her lips). "All those who
would like to be fatter please raise
their hands.' My lip-reading powers
were poor that day and I thought she
said, 'AH tin se who would like to go
to France raise their hands,' so I put
mine way up. The rest of the club
members gave one look at me and
howled with delight. Yeah. I've been
dieting ever since." — Springfield

"Logging" Made Easier
By the old system of logging, the
great pieces of timber lay upon the
ground until there was sufficient snow
to "snake" them to the water. By the
most modern methods the logs are
carried over the snowdrifts by means
of a mono rail system, which supports
the carrier with its cargo a few feet
above the ground. Time and money
are saved, for the construction cost of
the "L" line Is not great.
MUNICIPAL BUILDING
Several weeks ago there was quite
a discussion for the building of a mu-
nicipal building in Mineola. Definite
plans were laid to begin the raising
of the funds necessary to defray the
expense. The leaders in this move
ment, were no doubt sincere in then-
motives and intentions. For several
reasons this project was not abondon-
ed but postponed until a more appro-
priate time. There was a sufficient
amount of encouragement at the time
when this matter was under discus-
sion to warrant the drive for funds.
If the time was nearly ripe at that
time, surely it is ripe now.
The building of such a building will
not only be a good investment by
' -c'l.me so by graft

I wish to urge every one who is in-
terested in better educational oppor-
tunities for all the children who go
to school in Wood County to meet in
the District Court room at Quitman
Saturday, June 16 at 10 o'clock a. m.
for the purpose of making certain re-
commendations to the next legislature
which will more adequately care for
the smaller and poorer rural schools
as well as the other educational in-
stitutions of our state.
I feel that this is the time that
every one who is interested should
take the day off and come and help
to work out certain recommendations.
I assure you I am interested in the
future of your children, and I assure
you I am interested in better educa-
tional opportunities for them, but, I
now need your help. If your are in-
terested and can at all come.
We are to have good speakers and
are expecting Mr. Marrs and some
of the other State candidates to be
with us. All have been invited.
Remember the day and hour and be
here. Tell all your neighbors to come.
Teachers and trustees are especially
urged to be present.

Pure Ice at
Lower Prices
LESS PROFIT ON EACH BLOCK OF ICE BUT MORE BLOCKS SOLD, IS
GOOD BUSINESS. IT EXPLAINS WHY
\ THIS COMPANY WILL
SELL ICE FOR LESS IN MINEOLA DURING 1928
People of this community should use more ice. At lower prices they can-
not afford to be without plenty of ice to keep food safe and preserve health.
If you are to get the most value out of a block of ice, you must know
how to care for it. See that your ice box is economical, not wasteful.
The ice men will answer your questions about how to keep ice best - how
to arrange foods to the best advantage. At the lower rates Ice is your best
and cheapest guardian of health.
Prices lowered to 60,50,40, and 30 cents per 100 lbs. at the platform, de-
pending upon amount bought.
