Added to Our Subscription list
Which Makes Paper More Serviceable
To Community.

to Sentinel advertisers who wish to get

Sentinel of the best service possible to
the people we represent. We are sat-
isfied In the thought that we did our
best. The candidates met with much
dlsconragemcnt in the talk of hard
times and money shortage, but they
did not give up. We wish here and
now to express our sincere thanks to
each and every candidate for the work
they did and for the splendid spirit of
cooperation. The candidates also wish
to express their appreciation to those
who assisted them in any way.
We ask that those who gave sub-
scriptions allow us a little time to get
the names on the mailing galley, hut
do not hesitate to call onr attention
to anything that doesn’t show np right.
In handling several hundred names we
will make mistakes, and we ask yonr
Indulgence and cooperation.

ZAVALA LODGE ELECT OFFICERS
THE TOWN’S REFLECTION
It has often been said that a
town can be judged by its news-
paper. The newspaper is a re-
flection of the town. If it Is a
live town the newspajier reflects
It; If it Is a dead town, the out-
sider can tell it by the newspaper.
The support that u newspaper
gets determines what kind of a
town It is. If you would have
the outside world know that
Crystal City is u progressive
town, support your home paper.

Although the attendance was not so
after two strikes and three balls bail
beeu pitched, and after Cason was out
to first, Flores hit a two bagger and
the first run was scored. The Eagles
scored again in the second after Crys
tal City had been unable to score
more than one run in their half of the
first. After that Crystal City was
unable to score another run.
The Eagles were held scoreless dar-
ing the third, fourth and fifth innings,
but the erratic playing of the Crystals
permitted them to score two runs In
the Oth and five in the 8th.
During the game a total of seven
errors were chalked up against Crys-
tal City, while Hunt permitted eleven
hits, only a few of which were of the
scratch variety. It proved, altogether,
that all teams will have an off day.
