Room and Shall Our Schools Be Maintained? A meeting: composed largely of members of echool boards and citizens Interested In the maintaining of the schools of the county was held at the district court room in Lockhart Saturday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by County Superintendent Dodd, who explained the gravity of the situation confronting the common schools of the County and State. She called upon Judge C.F. Richards, member of the Lockhart School Board who stressed what Miss Dodd had said and depicted the sad state of community in which schools arc closed for all or a part of the months that schools generally operate. He said that in providing revenue, schools should be considered first and school taxes should be paid before state, county or city not only must state per capita be provided but people must pay their local taxes if schools operate.

He said people should sacrifice to educate their children. A. N. McCallum, superintendent JOIN THE AMERICAN MUTUAL AID LOT INSURANCE ASSOCIATION T. B.

He said that if anything is done for the schools by the legislature, people must urge the necessity upon the legislature. That all kinds of interests have lobbyists about the State Capitol but the boys and girls as represented in the schools have none. Supt.

McCallum says revenue is available for support of the public schools if legislators will enact laws to provide it. Hon. A. C. Riddle, representative in the legislature, talked of the revenue measures before the legislature that would provide funds for the common schools.

T. Train Schedule The performance of the three- act comedy drama, "The Nervous Miss Niles," was postponed until Friday niirht. March 24th, because of the illness of one of its stellar Miss Lois Cardwell. Miss ('ardwell suffered an attack of appendicitis on Friday which later necessitated an oper- ation. We understand that she is improving, which is very gratifying to all of us.

The part, an exceedingly difficult one, has been taken by Miss Ana Perle Huffines. and we feel sure that she will do it all due justice. The cast and all concerned are sorry for any inconvenience caused the public because of inability to advertise the postponement in time, but they will do their best to see that all are repaid if they will attend on Friday night, March 24th. The additional time has given the balance of the cast more practice, and a full house should see a very good evening's entertainment. The play is produced by special arrangement with Samuel French.

a NEGRESS KILLED The M. K. T. cut out the Alamo Special and startea the day passenger service Wednesday. The train is a turn around passenger and runs between San Marcos and Smithville.

The schedule is as follows: From San Marcos 10:11 AM From Smithville 5:20 PM Direct connection is made with trains 1 and 2 to and from San Antonio at San Marcos. The M. K. T. officials at the hearing in Au.stin said at the time that the present schedule was the one planned but if the people along the route should consider that they would be better served by starting the morning train from Smithville, the change could be made.

Mexican School Meet Drew Large Crowd Saturday The third annual County Meet of Mexican schools, held at the fair grounds Saturday, March 18, drew a large crowd. Notwithstanding rain driving the entire crowd into the hall during the speaking and singing events, the large audience gave the participants quiet attention. There was a noticeable improvement in the quality of performance in the speaking events.

The declnimers showed a much better command of the English language than in formeT meets. In Literary events, Lockhart won first place with 55 points, Prairie View was second with 45, and Maxwell placed third. Spelling 3rd and 4th Grades The team, Rachael Sordia, Oralia Hernandez. voir.

yd. Gomez, (Continued on Page 8) Red Cross Notes (By A. W. Jordan) Saturday like all other Satur. days, was a big day for the Red Cross and more than 300 people visited the station in need of various things, many of which we did not have, but to those we could supply, we cheerfully gave.

Among the first customers was a blind man, in want of food, and shoes, his wants were supplied, and he went on his way. The nexfc was a one-legged man, who waa also on the ground, but we unable to supply him, as we had no shoes that would fit. The next was a 78 year old negro preacher who was in need of everything as he put it, stating that his congregation was poor but faithful and the Lord would provide if they couldn't. He left praising the Lord that there is such a place as the Red Cross and good people like Mrs. Wright, Mrs.

Clark and Mrs. Jordan who were the helpers for the day. And were they busy? Ask them. The next customer was a woman with 10 children; only ten, think of it, in these hard times, and another distressing angle to her affliction was that her husband was in the state penitentiary. Another pathetic case was that of a good natured colored man who claimed for his very own a brood of seven and that some time ago in his neighborhood both parents of a family of six died, and as there was no one to take the six orphans he gladly took them.

Asked what about a family of 13 he replied that he did not see very much difference in seven and six than that they just naturally ate more, and if he could raise them he would be glad to do it. There ia a concrete case of charity, with few parallels. Another customer wished clothing for a large family, the head of which had died, and they needed clothing so that they could attend the funeral. Anobher was for clothing for a family which had lost three members recently with pneumonia and others were seriously ill with the same malady. So it went the entire day, more and more misery, more and more calls for "Poketa Cometa" The depot was placed on a three days service with this week, and the days on which it will be opened will be Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

If you have anything to give us remember the days, as we do not want to miss anything. The Red Cross officials have a call for funds for relief of the earthquake sufferers in California, and if you care to, or if you have friends or relatives there and want to contribute anything for that purpose we will be glad to send it in for you. You are invited to visit the Red Cross and Community Charities depot. It is yours and kept open with your funds. We will be glad to have you visit and see how your money and supplies are being spent.
