One of the features of the lunch-

grown fruits and vegetables all of
the specimens having been produced
in the back yards and side lots of
homes in San Antonio and not one
of the exhibits will be shown by pro-

"We want to make this exhibit as

then to the Gunter Hotel.
“We have been able to preserve
most of the fruit and vegetables en-

cola storage plant but the fully ripe
fruits and vegetables will not keep
even if frozen and for this reason
the committee makes a special ap-
peal to prospective exhibitors not
to send any more exhibits to the

Route No. 3 Box 20A. Broken Arrow.
Okla. — ** My trouble began with an Itching
of the scalp of my head. My scalp at first
tiecame covered with flakes of dandruff
which caused me to scratch and this caused
a breaking out here and them on the scalp.
It became so irritated until I could not rest
at night and my hair would come out in
bunches and Ixx-umo short and rough.
“Everything I used would cause It to
grow worse and it continued that way for
about three or four years. While reading
the paper I saw the advertisement of Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment and sent for a
sample. It proved so good that I decided
to get some more. I used them as directed
and in two weeks T saw a good effect. Now
my hair Is longer and looks better than I
have ever known it to be. I give all the
credit of my euro of scalp trouble to the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment.” (Signed)

JANITORS ARE NAMED
Publicity for Bond Issue
Planned and High School
Plans Considered
Plans for the publicity work for
the coming bond election the deci-
sion to purchase and sell property
the consideration of the plans for
the addition to the High School
building the reappointment of 34
janitors the discussion of the pro-
posed change in the High School
hours besides much routine work
occupied the school board until a
late hour last night.
All the members of the board were
present with the exception of Mrs.
Atlee B. Ayres who is out of the
city. As there was much business to
be disposed of the mce/ing was a
protracted one and the board ad-
journed at 11:30 after making plans
to let the voters of San Antonio know
the exact building needs of the San
Antonio schools in the interest of
the school bonds.
It seems that with every report of
the committees on buildings and sup-
plies showing the shortage In rooms
the poor hygienic conditions as ap-
plied to lighting heating and venti-
lation. and the crowded conditions
necessitating over 10000 double
desks in trie schools the other mem-
bers of the board are struck afresh
with the school needs.
Says Public Docs Not Know.
“I had no idea” said Mr. LeStour-
geon “the crying needs of the schools
until I got into th’s work and inves-
tigated. The people at large are the
same—they just do not know.”
That the people might know $250
was voted unanimously to be used in
an educational campaign before the
bond election. Facts are going to
be put before the people through let-
ters and circulars and the commit-
tee on publicity appointed at the
last meeting is going right to work
with a will.
In connection with the election
the following changes were made in
the election judges to fill vacancies In
the first appointments: Richard
Hunnan T. C. Leighton A. A. Gray
Tom Lodovlc George Thompson
Butler Knight. The polling place at
Haltf's store was also changed to a
store on Burleson street.
Sell Site to Masons.
A sale of considerable importance
was decided upon last night that
of the property on St. Mary’s and
Convent streets at present the site
of the Douglas school for negroes.
The property is to be sold to the Scot-
tish Rite Masons who will erect a
$250000 cathedral on the site.
The property was held by the
school board and a board of trustees
for the Freedman s Bureau of which
board Col. George W. Brackenridge
is the only living trustee in trust for
a negro school. The deed was made
soon after the civil war. Colonel
Brackenridge is willing to sign the
deed upon the agreement of the
board to erect another negro school
upon a more suitable locality. This
will be dope as soon as possible pos-
session of the building being retained
until February 1.
Final action on the purchase of
the ground at $25000 will be taken
tonight at the regular meeting of the
Bexar Lodge of Perfection and Pil-
grim Chapter Knights Rose Croix.
The board authorized the finance
committee to close the deal on two
lots on Cassiana street at a price
of $1350.
Mr. LeStourgcon chairman of the
building ccynmittee in making his
report presented a tentative sketch
of the south wing addition to be
made to the High School. He called
the attention of the board to the
fact that though the plans conformed
in external architectural construction
to the north wing of the building
they repeated some of the mistakes
of that building particularly in th«
matter .of lighting. The absence o 1
a rest room was also pointed out.
Discuss Finns Again Today.
The plans were discussed in full bj
the board and various suggestions
made. As no final decision could b*
reached it was agreed that the board
would meet at 5 o'clock this after-
noon at the High School go over th<
building and come to a decision as
to the pfans. The board was full}
agreed however that no schoo
buildings would be erected by then;
unless these buildings came up tc
the highest standard in matters ol
lighting heating ventilation and san-
itation.
"We will never vote upon plans
that do not meet all of these require-
ments” they declared.
The report of the committee on
supplies S. G. Bechtel chairman was
approved and the committee was au-
thorized to ask for bids on school
supplies such as coal floor oil paint
varnish desks tables etc.
The following teachers were ap-
pointed to fill vacancies upon recom-
mendation of the committee on
teachers. Mrs. Eli Hertzberg chair-
man: Miss Monte Theobald. Miss
Ruby West and Miss Nettie Bring-
hurst.
Janitor- Are Appointed.
Upon the recommendation of Al-
bin Seidel chairman of committee
on janitors 3 4 janitors were appoint-
ed al! being reappointments with
the exception of two. A change was
also made in the janitor's summer
hours. Hereafter they will be on
duty from 7 o'clock in the morning
to 5 o’clock in the afternoon instead
of from 7 to 10 a. m. and from 3 to
6 p. m. This change was decided
upon because in many instances
workmen and members of the board
have tried to get into the schools
upon business and were unable to
do so.
Mrs. Milton J. Biiem. chairman of
the committee on course of study
made her report on the petition re-
THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
$1400000 TO PROTECT
TEXAS CITY CHANNEL
Th? Government spent about
$15000000 at Galveston and
after all of that expenditure
they found it necessary to come
to the mainland. A channel
was then dredged to Texas City
by private capital and nearly
$10000000 more spent. and
then the Government took over
the channel. The last Congress
appropriated $1400000 for pil-
ing to protect this channel to
keep it from filling up.
Texas City is twenty-six miles
from th** open Gulf and every
foot of this has -been dredged
at the Government’s expense.
Compare this with Harbor City
—only ten miles from the open
Gulf by way of Aransas Har-
bor—and you will see that our
twenty-five foot channel is not
an impossibility by any means.
When the twenty-five foot
channel is dredged to Harbor
City. It will not require one-
tenth the amount of protection
that the Texas City channel re-
quires. Harbor City channel
Is twelve feet deep now and is
being used every day by oil
steamers transporting oil from
Harbor Island to CorpusChrUti.
An investment in Harbor City
is just as certain to make you
money as anything in the fu-
ture can be. You can buy
ahead of the government
dredging ahead of the rail-
rads. and ahead of the harbor
development and make the
profits by being on the ground
floor. You get a share of stock
and two town lots for $lOO on
payments of $lO per nfonth.
Write to me if you are inter-
ested. A. D. POWERS.

ceived from the High School pupils
some time ago asking that the hours
of the High School be changed to 8
o’clock to 1 o’clock. Mrs. Biiem pro-
posed that the matter be put before
the patrons through duplicate post
cards with questions to be answered.
Decision Is Postponed.
A full discussion followed in which
it was declared by some that the
board should decide such matters.
Others were opposed to the change
on the score of the children’s health
as they thought the protracted ses-
sion would be bad for them and
others approved saying it W’ould do
away with the lunch hour and lunch-
room in the basement of the school.
Superintendent Lukin said there was
much diversity of opinion on the
question and that it had bee.n tried
successfully and otherwise in a great
many schools. Final decision upon
the matter was postponed to a later
date.
Mr. Goeth reported that the com-
mittee on rules was going to have
the rules revised and harmonized and
reprinted in a book with the course
of study.
After much routine business of a
minor nature the board adjourned to
meet this afternoon at 5 o’clock at
the High School building.

:by Dr. C. G. Fellows of Chicago in
an address before the convention of

used too much light.
'People do not need half the light
they use” declared Dr. H. D. Schenk
of Brooklyn. "Clerks and bookkeep-
ers will have a big burner right over

is a beautiful light but they are

Policeman and Fat German Come-

A large crowd that almost stopped
traffic collected on Houston street
yesterday when a policeman chased
a fat German comedian down the
street. It was rumored in the crowd
that the pseudo German had stolen
five yards of sausages from a dellca-

tected just as he left the store and
the customers in the store ran out
and pursued him.
The policeman on the corner join-

him toward the city hall when the
