nnce the close of the 1927 State Fai
on his plan to offer a perfect agricu'
i.ural show in October.
County agents in all parts of th
state as well as the officials and fiel<
men of the Texas Agricultural Colleg.
have been giving Mr. Moore ever>
assistance in this work and all con
cerned are freely predicting that th<
displays at the 1928 State Fair, tin
dates of which are October 6 to 2!
will be the most instructive and in
forming ever shown.
"The whole object of the State Fai
and the one aim of the directors is t(
give every aid possible to the upbuild
ing of Texas agriculture and liv.
;toek raising," says Mr. Moore
"Hence the State Fair should be look
ed upon as a great broadcasting sta
tion, sending out information on agri
cultural and live stock topics to a!
the southwest but to all Texas ii
particular.
"It spreads this information b;
moans of actual demonstrations. Tin
farmer, for instance, can come her<
and see what other farmers have
done. He can talk with the men in
charge and learn how it was done.
Then he can go home, full of infor-
mation and in a position to get the
same or even better results himself
"Every time a farmer carries homi
information and puts that informa
tion to work in raising more and bet
tor crops he is helping the wholi
3tate and not merely himself. Thai
is why many persons believe that the
State Fair of Texas is one of the
greatest influences for the upbuildin?
of the state, that we have within oui
boundaries."

"The Desert Sons" in the Audi

Ciass Musical Show

" torium are grane!
opera or at leas
f a high-brow nature.
Such never has been the ease, how
iver, as those who have been enter
pined by these shows are well aware
The productions are musical shows c
the most populiir sort, and while th
music and the singing are of the best
the appeal of the entertainment i
very often found in the fun and the
comedy which abounds throughout.
This was true of "Countess Ma-
ritza," as all who saw the five come-
dians in that operetta convulse the
audiences through the three acts, will
admit. And it is true also as to "The
Desert Song," the operetta booked foi
the next State Fair, Oct. C to 21.
Seeing the operettas at the State
Fair is very much like going to New
York city and having a friend take
one to see the best show playing on
Broadway, because the State Fair di-
rectors who select the operettas go
to New York every season and after
looking over all the successes, arrange
to bring the whole show, intact to
Texas for the fair period.
As more and more
Texas farmers turn
to raising less cot-
ton and more wheat
the interest in the
new "combines" in-
creases. Almost
every one knows that a combine is the
short name adopted to describe the
combined harvester and threshing ma*
chine.
At least _ three different types of
these machines will be shown in the
farm machinery section of the State
Fair of Texas, which is to be held at
Dallas, Oct. 6 to 21.
It is likely that at least one of them
will be shown in operation in connec-
tion with the hitching demonstra-
tions. It requires from ten to twelve
horses to draw one of the combines,
consequently it will be a valuable les-
son for the farmer to learn how to
hitch such large teams so as to get
the best results with one man to drive.
The combines cut the wheat and
thresh it at the same time. All weed
•seeds are removed and gathered in a
separate sack to be destroyed instead
of being resown in the field. The
straw, also, is chopped up and spread
on the land back of the combine, to be
plowed under, thereby enriching the
soil. It is said the wheat buyers pre-
fer "combine" wheat to that harvest,
ed with a header and threshed later
with the old style threshing machine.
The demonstrations of the combines
will form an interesting feature of the
1928 State Fair.
Another state championship hog
calling contest will be staged at the
State Fair of Texas, Oct. 6 to 21. The
present champion is Joe Lillard, of
Arlington, who won over a field of 2'
entries.
No state fair in the United States
came within 350,000 of reaching the
total attendance number at the State
Fair of Texas last year.
The new poultry raising building at
the Stnte Fair of Texas is much easier
to reach than the old one was. It is
located to the right of the main ave-
nue leading from the main gate* to
the grand stand.
"It's not the gun and armament,
Nor the army as a whole,
But the everlasting team-work
Of every bloomin' soul."
Bowie Beats Saint Jo.
The Jackrabbits and Panthers met
on our local gridiron Saturday, Sep-
tember 22, the former winning the
game 6-0.
This was a defensive game from
start to finish, which made it the
more interesting.
The Jackrabbits made the touch-
down in the last quarter of the first
half.
The Saint Jo lineup was practic-
ally the same as in the game between
Saint Jo and Nocona.
There was not a very large group
of supporters present, probably be-
cause the game was called only two
hours before the actual playing.
Ik-llevue Calls Game Off.
There was a very disappointed
group of High School students last
Friday, Sept. 21, when Bellevue coach
called at 1:30 saying the team could
not meet our local team at 3:30 that
afternoon. He said some equipment
which they had ordered had not ar-
rived. Mr. Wright offered to lend
them some of our equipment, but still
they refused.
Girls Play Football.
Tuesday afternoon, September 18,
the girls began playing football,
wearing oveialls as suits.
These girls were practicing for a
short football game between halves
of the Saint Jo-Bellevue game.
Mr. Wright chose the captain for
each side and they in turn chose their
players from a group of High School
girls. The sides are named the Or-
anges and the Whites. As the boys'
game was called off, therefore the
girls did not get to play.
These girl team will play between
halves of the Saint Jo-Nocona game
Friday, September 28. By that time
each side will be better organized.
It is very interesting to see these
girls play, who did not know more
than the slightest principles of tha
game on September 18.
Indians Defeat Panthers.
Friday afternoon, September 14,
at 4 o'clock, the Saint Jo Panthers,
playing the Nocona Indians, opened
their 1928-29 football season.
Bill Crump, local captain, won the
.toss, and elected to defend the west
'goal. Calloway kicked off for the
j Panthers, and the old battle of wit
iand brawn was begun. Hall, receiv-
, ing for Nocona, was downed by Al-
driedge after a return of five yards
The game from the first whistle
i to the last was closely contested and
l hard fought. Both teams were hand-
l icapped by playing on a slow field.
I Time after time both teams were held
, for downs and the ball changed sides.
[The first half ended in a tie score of
nothing to nothing.
During the third quarter both
teams were playing for a break that
would decide the initial contest. But
the break came during the last five
minutes of play. A blocked kick for
Saint Jo, and a completed pass for
Nocona placed the ball on the three-
yard line. On the third down Evans
carried the ball over the white mark-
er, but failed at try for extra point.
Many of the wearers of the orange
and white were playing their first
game of football.
The prospects for a good season
are bright, and with good local sup-
port the Panthers will "bring home
the bacon."

Pedigo. There were 27 girls present
at the organization. The following
officers were elected: Mable Ruth

September 24, by Rev. Ed Morgan
Rev. J. G. Forester and Rev. Harry
Rankin.
The entire student body sang "Am-
erica," Rev. Rankin sang two short
solos, then Rev. Forester led in pray-
ar. Following him, Rev. Morgan told
a very interesting story.
This program was enjoyed very
much by the student body, and these
gentlemen are invited to visit us
again soon.
Hobo Picnic.
A large group of boys and girls
had an excellent time on a hobo picnic-
Friday night, September 21.
These hobos met at the school
building and were trucked to a large
pasture near Ozella Davis' home.
After playing games, a large pot
was partially filled with corn, wei
nies, chili, pork and beans, and soup,
then set on the fire to boil. Soon the
hobo stew was cooked and eaten with
bread, pickles and crackers, and made
a very savory dish.
The hoboes were the pep squad
the football team, the senior class
Mr. C. B. Wright, Miss Marjorie Sue
Hassell and Miss Josephine McWil-
liams.
New Librarians.
Beatrice Beckner and Mable Hen-
dricks are our librarians this year.
They succeed Mary Davis, last year's
graduate. They began the year right
by cleaning up the library and hint-
ing to the students to keep it so.

The senior class ordered their
rings September 12 from the Star
Engraving Company of Houston.
The ring is the same as last year's,
is a contract was made for a stand-
ard design for a period of two year?.
The seniors expect to be wearing
those rings about two weeks from
now.

New Teachers. ~
The school board has elected to I
the faculty four different teachers,'
namely, Mr. William Bowers, Saint
Jo; Miss Josephine McWilliams, of
Whitesboro; Miss Marjorie Sue Has-
sell, Dallas; and Miss Ruby Hodges
of Nocona Miss McWilliams has her totaTVnrollmen't
Bachelor of Arts degre from C. I. A., Ware's 27
Denton; Miss Hassell, a B. A. degree
from S. M. U., Dallas, and Mr. Bow-
ers an A. B. degree from Trinity Uni-
versity, Waxahachie.
We also have a new music teacher,
Miss Haralson of Nocona. Miss Har-
alson studied music at Simmons Uni-
versity, Baylor University, and re-
ceived her teacher's certificate from
Prof. Miriam Landrum of Austin.
Miss Haralson conducted a private
school in her home since February,
Last, but not least, we have a new
janitor, Mr. L. Hodges, as Mr. Aus-
tin, janitor for the past four or five
years, resigned.
The juniors signed a contract with
the Star Engraving Company of
Houston for rings and pins for thu
year and next.
The sophomores signed a contract
for similar rings and pins for their
junior and senior yep.'-s. The pattern
m the rings and pins is known a*
the "Texas" design. A panther's
head, Saint Jo's mascot, is the cen-
tral figure, and above his head is the
name of the school. By the side of
its head are the numerals. On one
saddle of the ring is a carved minia-
ture of the Alamo; on the other side
the San Jacinto battle ground. And
around each of these patterns on the
sides of the ring are cactus and blue-
bonnets.
The pins which the juniors ordered
are similar, except without designs
on saddle of rings. The pins will be
here in about thirty days.
They gave this company a contract
for next year's diplomas also.
The seniors feel near graduation,
as they have contracted for their
caps and gowns, to be delivered at
graduation time. These gowns are
exactly like those of last year, which
were gray mercerized poplin.
Sixth Grade Combined.
Enrollment in Grades.
Mrs. Ware has in the seventh
grade 27. There are five new stu-
dents in this room, nemely, Eli Ba-
ker, seventh grade, of Dye Mound;
W. L. Tucker, seventh grade, former-
ly of Edgewood; Joe Harris, seventh
grade, and Rama Joe Lynn, seventh
grade, of Sherman.
In the fifth and sixth grades there
are 23 students, eleven in the fifth
thers and Indians will be played on and twelve in the sixth. Miss Ruby
Mrs. Martha Evans of Henrietta
was the guest of her grandmother,
Mrs. M. Evans, last week. She re-
turned home last Saturday.
the Saint Jo gridiron Friday, Septem-
ber 28, at 4 o'clock.
We feel that this-is the time when
the Indians will be scalped. Bowie
beat Nocona 18 to 0, thus scoring
more on her than on us. Therefore,
with hard training behind our team
we are expecting to win this game
by hard fighting. It has been defi-
nitely decided that the girls football
team will play for entertainment be-
tween halves.
Come. Don't miss either of these
games, for they certainly are going
to be worth your while.
Hodges teaches these grades.
Mrs. Sam Pedigo has 38 enrolled
in the third and fourth grades, twen-
ty-eight in the third and ten in the
fourth.
Miss Madge Walden has enrolled
•29 in the second grade. She has one
new student from Jones school, and
several from the private school here.
The second grade room is being
straightened up and decorated. They
extend to their parents a hearty in-
vitation to visit them at any time.
There are 28 students in the fiist
grade. These students arc eager to

As there were only 11 sixth grad-
ers in Miss Hodge's room and 14 in
Mrs. Ware's room, Monday, Septem-
er 17, they were all united in Miss
Hodge's room, and now Miss Hodge's
37 and Mrs.
John Dave Cunningham, who has
been ill for quite awhile, was suffi-
ciently recovered to enter school last
Monday.
Staff to Be Elected.
The staff for the Pantheress has
