look is if they were jumping the
gun on the start.

The people of America can have
their choice of socialism or demo-
cratic private enterprise—under the
American system of free choice.
But they can't have both at the
same time.
In Other Schools:-
By "The Interscholastic Pest"
The band of Miami is preparing
for the contest at Plainview. Seems
I heard our band is going to play
at Fairview Friday night. It.
seems Spring is in the air and
Spring feaver is catching down
there as well as here. The paper
said that the Sophomores slept
most of the time in World History.
Have you seen any like students
Coach????
Deah!!! While looking at the
Eagle's Tale of Canyon Hi, I find
out next year's Heap Big Chief
Captain of the football team has
a new flame!!! Maybe he caught
her Sadie Hawkins Day. Wish Sadie
would come over here. Three girls
in the Homemakers Dept. over at
Canyon won the honor of having
their play:; taken to the State Sup-
ervisor of Home Economics. These
original plays will be entered in
Galveston in the State Meet. The
Canyon Hi also has a six man foot-
ball team which they enjoyed
watching.
It seems at Tulia there is also
"writing on the wall." The only diff
is their writing had to do with love
affairs. Tsk Tsk! If you get what
I mean. The crowd laughed as the
Juniors presented their Western
Comedy. Perhaps we should try one
like this next time Juniors.

NEVADA LA RUE YELTON
Last Sunday, March 20, 1939, at
12 p. m. a little bud was gathered
from "The Garden of San Antonio"
to make "Heaven More Beautiful.'
This tiny babe, who had been
christened Nevada La Rue, had
been in the home of Mr. and Mrs
Jim Yelton three months and twen-
ty days.
Little Nevada La Rue took ser-
iously ill Thursday, March lfith
and was taken to the Medical Arts
Sanitorium where her little spirit
took its flight.
Those who mourn her death arc
the parents, a sister, Syhica Lavon-
ne, a brother, Lowery and the
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Yel-
ton and Mr. and Mrs. Jack McGee
In this hour of sorrow may we
be able to say:
Parents, I see you with your
nursery light
Leading your babies all in white
To their sweet rest;
Christ, the Good Shepherd, carries
Nevada La Rue tonight
And we know that is right.
I cannot help tears where I see
them devine,
Their fingers in Yours and their
bright curls shine
On your warm breast;
But the Savior's Is purer than yours
or mine,
And we know he can love best
You tremble each hour because
your arms
Arc weak; your heart is wrung
with alarm
And sore apprest;
Our Darling Is safe, out of reach
of harm
We know that is best.

boys should have been my play-
mates, and for awhile they were;
but one day Leslie and I quarreled,
resulting in a slight disadvantage
for Leslie who acquired a bloody
nose.
A few days later on the way from
school, I felt a sudden and sharp
pain in the small of my back. Les-
lie had plantec1. a rock there by the
hit-and-run method. Retrieving the
rock, I gave chase and we had a
lively race down Main Street, across
the tracks on past the lumber yard,
ending at the Dorsey front gate.
Just as the pursued readied the
front door, the pursuer let the rock
fly, but the glass top of the slam-
ming door caught the full force of
the flying missile. There was a
crash. Mrs. Dorsey came running
out in the front yard and in a high
shrill voice proceeded to tell me just
what a bad boy I was. Explanation
and apology seemed futile so I went
on home where I could nurse my
wound in safety.
Thir, was followed a few days
later by another fracas, but this
time Buddy and Marshall came to
the aid of their brother and I lost.
Try licking three kids younger than
you sometime. It is a difficult as-
signment. Thus the feud continu-
ed for months. When I caught the
oldest one alone, I challenged him;
and when the three of them bump-
ed into me. they challenged me.
The trouble was. il became difficult
lo catch one of them alone. In the
interest of safety, they started run-
ning# In a pr.ck. And many times
I went home feeling sorry for my-
self. But to make matters wors°,
one evening Mr. Dorsey visited Mo-
ther nnd insisted that she have me
desist molesting his boys. I was
entirely willing and so promised1
but he evidently failed to elict the
same promise from his offspring,
as the very next time we met, the
feud broke out again.
Bernice Graves lived just across
the street west from the Dorseys,
so I went over and lined him up
WET WASH PRICE
Make us prove our Price is lower
At our iow price of 4c per pound for Wet Wash we can do your
laundry cheaper than you can do it at home, and we will be
glad to prove it. The actual cost of materials you can purchase
is more than 4c per pound—to say nothing of the cost of your
investment and the time and worry of operating it.
We urge you to Investigate the relative cists ot doing your
laundry at home and of sending it to our modern plant. You
already know we can do it better. We can r.'so prove that we
can do it cheaper.

for an ally. He had a 1000-shot BB
gun and we had some good shoot-
ins one afternoon. Through a knot-
hole in his fence we took pot shots
at the enemy, who was playing on
a see-saw across the road. They
knew they were being stung but
never located the source, so they
finally went in the house.
Another afternoon I was bicycling
toward town; just before crossing
the tracks, the enemy charged out
of the sand pit by the depot with
a volley of rocks. I abandoned the
bicycle and sought cover behind a
telegraph pole. Gathering up a sup-
puly of amunition, I returned the
fire; but was not only outnumbered,
having t'i make three dodges to
their one, I was short of rocks. The
enemy maneuvered to a position
between the post and my bicycle.
I was cut off. At this crucial point
neighbor Carl Appling came along
so I made a tearful plea for aid.
He was reluctant to assist, suggest-
ing that I use the rock in my hand,
but it was my last and only shell
which if spent meant a direct
charge from the enemy. I hereby
tender my thanks to Neighbor Ap-
pling for his assistance in recover-
ing my transportation
This situation continued for over
a year until again Mr. Dorsey call-
ed on Mother. As they sat on the
back door step in the cool of the
evening, talking the matter over, I
eavesdropped from the kitchen. Mr.
Dorsey staled that the situation
was becoming unbearable, that his
')oys did not dare venture away
frcm the house, nnd he Insisted
that steps be taken to have me
"topped.
He suggested cither a church trial
or the Jnvenilc court Mother sug-
gested that he handle his offsprings
and allow her to handle me. After
he had gone, I was on the receiving
end of a long lecture as to how to
turn the other cheek when smitten,
etc.
A few days later, the Dorsey
family loaded up their threshing
machine and returned to Cisco
ending the feud. Rumor drifted
back that they struck oil on their
farm and became wealthy. I hope
they did.
