Types, ‘-‘I .am becoming as sounding brass-
and a tinkling cymbal. And though I
have the gift of prophecy and understand
all mysteries and all knowledge,” what
avails if I am deprived of the use of
Types? Though I have merchandise that
is desired of all nations, it benefits them
not if Types speak not for me; yea* it is
not salable except in places within a day’s
journey. Things that were of old are
lost, the wisdom born of cycles of effort
and sacrifice is forgotten, the heritage of
the world’s greatness is buried, when
Types cease to proclaim them. Verily, I
will honor the Printer and his Types, that
I may speak my thoughts and express my
soul to all mankind forever and ever, and
announce my skill and'the merits of my
handiwork to all who might benefit by
the use thereof; for what Power is there

SUMMER NORMAL TO OPEN
MONDAY.
» _' ** .
V
Large Attendance is Expected.
The Hallettsville Summer Nor-
mal will open for an eight weeks
session, next Monday June 7th,
and from reports received from
teachers and- other prospective
students of this, and adjoining
counties, the normal bids fair to
be one of the best attended ever
held in this section.
Hallettsville has a fine brick i
school structure, spacious
grounds, an auditorium, and i
other conveniences, making it an
ideal place to hold the normal.
The well known hospitality of its
people is another factor toward
assuring a large attendance.
The faculty is composed of
capable, experienced instructors
and includes the following: H.
K. Williams, Supt. City ^ Schools,
Hallettsville, conductor; A. V.
Peterson, Supt City Schools,
Gonzales; A. S. Bush, Supt. City
Schools, Cuero; M. V. Petsrson,

Emily McKinney, Prin. Montrose
School, Houston, Primary Meth-
ods and Model School.

Meeting of County Board of
Trustees.
The county board of trustees,
composed of Messrs. W. R." Mc-
Cutchan, Wm. Mertz, J. X Jaeg-
gli, A. J. Kallus and J. W. W.
Harvey, met last Monday and
Tuesday to inspect the examina-
tion , papers of the different
schools of the county. Each
member-selected a few of the
subjects used in the examination
and looked over these in each set
of papers. They made a report
on each set of papers and this
will be recorded by the county
superintendent.
The board foun^ that unusual-
ly good work was done in most of
the schools of the county and the
and pupils as a whole, the board
is well pleased with it and thinks
that much progress has been
made during the past year and
that Lavaca county will stand a
favorable comparison with any
other county in the state, but
the board deems it its duty to al-
go point out cases of carelessness
and indifference on the part of
parents, pupils and teachers.

found some very poor papers and
noticed that some of the teachers
graded entirely too high. Most
of the schools in which poor work
was done were short termed
schools, but a few of them had
long terms. , Judging from the
grading of a few teachers, ft
seems that they were not well
up on the examination questions
and the board aupgests that they
familiarize themselves more fully
with the second grade subjects.

Levy’s Anniversary Sale
’T'HERE ARE NO OTHER SALES of such importance to the public—in the
* entire state—as Levy’s Anniversary Sales! Dry Goods authorities tell us
there are few, if any, in the whole United States.
Because of their special merits their fame has spread all over Texas. Hundreds coihe to
the sale each June from points as far distant as 150 miles. They n^ake a BUSINESS of at-
tending these sales—for it IS a business proposition. When one caf save 25 per cent to 60
^per cent on their wearing apparel and household needs it is BUSINESS to do so. Besides— "
if your combined purchases from retail stores in Houston (Levy’s and others) amount to 20
times your railroad fare—your fare will be refunded by the Retail Merchants Association.

The Sale opens in Houston June 10th. Inasmuch as it is almost impossible to handle the
crowds the first day—we advise our out-of-town patrons to come the second and succeeding'
days. Reductions are the same, selections equally as good, shopping more satisfactory. Lay
your plans RIGHT NOW to attend this our 28th Anniversary Sale. If you come this year—
you’ll come every year. Write us for further particulars.

Collapsible Refrigerator.
One of the interesting features .to
a new refrigerator is that it can easily
be taken apart for transportation or
for cleaning, and then put together in
a few minutes without the use of
tools of any kind. The base, sides,
front, back, and. top form separate
sections. These are connected by
locking bars,, having slots in the ends,
which fit over pins projected from the
parts to be connected and are so ar-
ranged that when the refrigerator is
set np, these parts are held rigidly
^together. Another feature of* this
> refrigerator is that of circulating the
water formed by the melting ice
through pipes under the shelves.

Primitive “Timepieces.”
One of the most primitive time-re-
cording devices employed by the Chi-
nese and Japanese was a knotted wick
about two feet in length which- smol-
dered without breaking into flame, and
indicated the passage of an hour by
the time consumed in burning between
two knots. King Alfred is credited
with having established a system
whereby twelve-inch wax candleB were
divided into equal distances; relatively
a third of an hour being required to
burn an inch, f, A capdle of this type,
but only ten inches m length, is ex-
hibited in the collection in the Wash- -
