This was the best Fire Prevention
theme that was written by the Eng-
lish IV Class last week.
Many centuries ago, at a time of
which histoi. knows little, or noth-
ing, both man and beast held one
overpowering dread, fear of fire.
The first decisive step taken in the
development of the human (race was
the overcoming of this fear and the
making of fire a useful servant.
Fire as a useful servant is an ad-
vantage as long as it is kept under
control.
The first step we want to take is
the prevention of fire in the home.
A very harmful habit to practice is
placing- matches in a place where
children can get them. Always keep
ir..itches where children cannot l'each
them. Have a metal receptacle in
which to place all burned' matches.
Never use any kind except safety
matches. A person who smokes
should be very careful of his cigar-
ette stubs. Be sure they are not
lighted when throwing them away.
Never go about a barn or stable
where there is hay or straw, while
suit' '
and the roots would grow out on the
side of the row.
The class also worked on their note
books and project book ? last week.
We filled some of our project record
books in, but there is still much more
to be put in them.

Cotullu Volley Ball Te.ini
Defeated Catarina.
On Thursday of last week the Vol-
ley B. ill girls went to Catarina and
played the girls 4 games, and won
three. Then the second team of Co-
tullu played Catarina’s second team
and lost.
The wind was blowing hard and it
was very hard to serve a good ball.
The outstanding players from Cotulla
were: Corrine Autrey, Louise Bur-
ris, and Velma Soles. Cotulla High
has a reel good Volley ball team and
they havn’t been defeated so far.
Juist give these girls a little back-
ing, folks, as they r.lre clean sports
and ready to play the game right at
all times.

Cotulla vs. Cotulla.
The junior girls’ playground-ball
team of Cotulla matched the Millett
junior girls in a .seven-inning game
last Wednesday at Millett. The
seventh inning ended with a score of
10-10. This tie was played off, the
final score being 13-11 in favor of
Millett.
The team wishes to thank the fol-
lowing parents who were kind enough
Maverick's took possession of the ball I to take them to Millett: Mrs. J. T.
on about their own twenty yard line j Pugh, Mrs. George Cook, Mrs. E. A.
and tried severral passes, j On the , Crain, Mr. Lightsey and Supt. Don-

| Cotulla and Pearsall Tie.
The Cotulla Cowboys tied the un-
defeated Pearsall Mavericks, Friday
with a score of 6 to 6. The Cowboys
outfought the visiting team all
through the g.sme except the last
three minutes.
Cotulla won the toss and chose to
defend the east goal, as the wind
was blowing hard from the South-
east. Pearsall decided to receive.
The first quarter was hard fought
and ended with the ball in the Cow-
boys possession on Pearsall’s forty
yard line.
In the second quarter the Cowboys
advanced the ball deep into the Mav-
erick's riJnge but a Pearsall Maver-
ick intercepted a Cotulla pass and
ran to Cotulla’s twenty yard strip
where he was headed by Cowboy
Morgan and thrown by Hinnant. In
a few- more downs Pearsall had al-
most scored but Cook, Cotulla’s alert
right end, scooped up a fumble and
ran fifteen yards before he was
downed. The Cowboys began an-
other drive and' again carried the ball ■
back into Pearsall territory. The |

showings of the new Chevrolet.
Immediately following the advance
showing in New York and Detroit,
there will be three other important
| showings. The New York cars will
j go to Washington for a gala opening
at the Mayflower Hotel in the Capi-
tol city, December first. This show-
ing will continue up to and including
December 4.
Meanwhile the Detroit display will
be* moved to Chicago, where the mid
western metropolis will see the new
Chevrolet line December 1-6 inclusive.
This particularly elaborate exhibit
will take place in the Pure Oil Build-
ing at Wacker Drive and Wabash
Avenue.
The Pacific Coast will get its first
glimpse of the new line on the same
day with Washington and Chicago,
when the Los Angeles display is
opened in the Auditorium of the
Ambassador Hotel. The time re-
quired to ship cars from the Flint,
Mich., factory to the coast accounts
for the fact that the initial showing
on the western seaboiSrd will be sev-
en dayis behind the New York and
Detroit premieres. The Los Angeles
showing will continue from Dec. 1-6
Following the showing in the Cap-
itol city, the Washington cans will go
to Cinnati, where a similar display
will be staged in the Sinton Hotel,
December 8 to 14, and then to At-
lanta, where the Capitol city of the
old South and the home of a new
Chevrolet assembly plant, will greet
the cans from December 18 to 22 in
the Auditorium-Armory.
At the conclusion of its six day
I run, the Chicago exhibit will be mov-
jed to St. Louis for a seven day show-
ing in the Arcadia Ballroom, begin-
ning Dec. 8. Dallas in the center of
the Lone Star state, will be next in
line, receiving the St. Louis show
cans on Dee. 18, when the display will j
open at the Adolphus Hotel and con-
tinue until December 22.

and transplanted some strawberry

I transplanting the plants tint they
should be planted on the side of a

midd'e of the row and will not wash
fee dirt away from the plants. If we
plant strawberries on top of a row

Chevrolet Motor Company
Out With Six-cylinder Car.
Detroit, Nov. 24.—Motoring Amer-
ica v/as on its tip-toet tonight as two
of its large metropolitan centers
were viewing for the first time the
sensational new valve-in-head six
cylinder Chevrolet, which was an-
nounced November 16. Interest was
keyed to a high pitch in New York
and Detroit ae the financial and mo-
tor capitols of the country respec-
tively, prepared to greet this most
advanced offeiing of the world’s
largest automobile producer for 1928.
The two advance showings opened
simultaneously ;St noon Saturday,
Nov. 24th. the New York premiere
taking place in a brilliant setting in
the Waldorf-Aistoria Hotel and the
Detroit debut in the Auditorium of
the General Motors building. Both
showings are to continue up to and

orders. For several days prior to
the announcement the sales division
of the company, under direction of
R. II. Grant, vice president in charge
of sales, made use of every informa-
tion medium available in preparing
dealers and salesmen for the advent
of the new r-ix.
Tons of literature were mailed from
Detroit, fully descriptive of the new
product. Lighted shadow boxes
with full color illustrations of the
new models, ;?nd slide films for pro-
jection on the screen or wall of a
darkened room, proved invaluable as-
sets in disseminating the facts.
Special talking records, so timed at?
to synchronize with the slide film
pictures and descriptions were also
used and proved to be just another
instance of the ingenuity the sales
division exemplified in getting all the
Meanwhile the gigantic Chevrolet facts to its deallers and salesmen for
manufacturing organization is apply-
ing itself to a heavy production pro-
gram so that cars may be shipped to
dealers starting December 15, and
deliveries to the public may begin
promptly January first.
Chevrolet la dealers are in readiness
to take care of a dteluge of advance
use during this announcement period.
In the company’s announcement
last week of “a six in the price range
of the four,” there was indicated a
smashing triumph for quantity pro-
duction. It pointed out that the new
car with the advanced features it
embodies, was made possible at its
price chiefly through the influence of
great volume production. W. S.
Knudsen, president and general man-
ager, stated on the announcement
that only volume production made
possible by the tremendous popular
reception accorded Chevrolet in re-
cent years enabled the company to
offer a car with the speed, accelera-
tion, power and smoothness of six
cylinder performance at practically
the same price that contributed so
much to the world-wide popularity of
the four.
So that the entire country might
have an opportunity of seeing the
new car before it goes on the road,
January first, the Chevrolet Motor
Company arranged a series of eleven
advahee showings in as many leading
cities strategically located through-
out the country. The showing now
under way will take the form of an
elaborate minature automobile show
with attractive settings and suitable
entertainment features. Provision
has been made to accomodate more
than a million people who are expect-
ed to attend one or other of the
showings that will take place from
coast to coast from now until Dec-
ember 22. Included in the legion of
automobile enthusiasts who will be
in attendance during the course of
the showings will be 30,000 Chevrolet
dealers and salesmen, many of whom
will travel 300 miles or more to be
