NO DENTON STORES TO
OPEN THIS AFTERNOON
The Normal College football team
left Wednesday afternoon late for
Huntsville wehre they meet Sam Hous-
ton Normal College for their Thanks-
giving game, this afternoon and close
the season there. The Denton
will not reach Huntsville until
noon today and although, badly
from their trip they expect to
defeat the Normal team they played
here last Thanksgiving and defeated by
a good score.
The season closing with today’s game
has been quite successful for the Nor-
mal College team with the exception
of the game last Saturday when they
lost to ballas University in a game at
•Dallas by a score of 6 to 0. This is
the only game they have lost this year
and all others have been won by good
scores with the exception of the game
at Sherman with Austin College that
was played without a score. It was in
this game that Bill Collins was injured
and forced to remain out of the game
until only last Saturday. With him
out of the game for over six weeks
the team kept the pace they had start-
ed earlier in the esason but it is very
probable that if he had not been out
of the game so long that they might
have had a different tale to
the Normal-Dallas U game.
The members of the team
viile today are:
Powledge, tackle; Magill,

“The Servant in the House" has ap-
pealed strongly to the churches of
this country. Many a pastor has se-
lected it as a sermon theme. It com-
prises a story that goes to fundamentals
and so touches the common heart. It
depicts the love of a father for his
child, carrying that love through his
poverty, degradation and bitterness.
The child, when too young to realize
her father's condition, has been placed
in comfortable circumstances hut her
heart still cries for her father as her
father's cries for her. How that love,
like a magnet draws them together, is
beautifully told in the play. Like a
song of praise through the play moves
lhe figure of Manson, the embodiment
of the ideal, the vision of love and
truth towards which the world, in
spite of wars, sorrows and poverty, is
slowly moving.
The character of Manson in "The
Senant in the House" is the visualized
manifestation of that spirit of righte-
ousness which, in the affairs of men,
loves, counsels, chides, judges and cor-
rects. Mr. Kennedy, unlike many au-
thors who use this figure to point their
moral, does not weakly sentimentalize,
but when occasion arises, uses the
thongs to drive evil from the heart.
In the character of Robert, “The Drain
Man.” Air. Kennedy has symbolized the
spirit of “the publican and sinner." He
has gathered into one character the
groping blindness of the submerged.
As a seed that has fallen into a cellar
and taken root there and pushes its
stalk and leans towards the grating that
lets in the light, so Robert’s soul
stretches its utmost longing towards
that universal love “in whom we live,
move and have our being.”
Charles Rann Kennedy, the author of
“The Servant in the House," comes from
a famous English family of scholars,
preachers and educators.
The family includes the dramatist’s
grandfather, Charles Rann Kennedy,
the elder, whose studies in Demosthenes
are well known in this country: Dr.
Benjamin Hall Kennedy, the
ius Professor of Greek In the
ty of Cambridge, England:
William Rann Kennedy, the
Lord Justice of Appeals.
In his time Mr. Kennedy has played
many parts—office boy, lawyer’s clerk,
telegraphist, socialist organizer,
zine writer, lecturer, theatrical
ness manager, actor, producer
dramatist. In addition to the
he at one time studied for Holy Orders,
and as he playfully confesses himself,
he is “even now, only a clergyman in
disguise!”

Hon. Reuben M. Ellerd of Plainview,
Hale county, candidate for Congress
who is now campaigning this end of
the big Thirteenth district in his auto-
mobile, was in Denton Wednesday meet-
ing the voters and making a short talk
on the square during the afternoon.
Mr. Ellerd explained his platform to
the voters and seemed to make a good
impression on those who heard him.
He and Hon. Marvin Jones of Amarillo
are running against the incumbent, the
Hon. John H. Stephens of Vernon.
Practically every store in Denton will
close at noon today for the remainder
of the day. This was practically as-
sured Wednesday afternoon for all ex-
cept the grocery stores, among the pro-
prietors of which there arose some dif-
ference as to the time they would close
and for how long they would be clos-
ed. The matter was taken up with
them again Thursday morning by Earl
Mann, Secretary of the Retail Merchants
association, and an agreement reached
for them to close at noon and remain
closed the remainder of the day. The
dry goods merchants agreed not to open
their stores today and the hardware
stores will remain open for only a part
of the day. The banks did not open
at all today and the barber shops clos-
ed at-noon for the remainder of the
day. Practically the only business
houses that will be open this afternoon
and evening will be the confectionery
and drug stores and moving picture
shows.
Nearly all offices at the courthouse
closed for a part of the day and in all
of them only one or two persons have
been kept on duty to await upon the
few demands the public is expected to
make.

a number of out of town guests
expected to be present. A Fort Worth

the dances, and there will be

Thanksgiving Dinners.
Thanksgiving promised to be
usually quiet celebration this
with many families whose annual cus-
tom it has been for a number of years
to entertain a large number of guests
in their homes, expecting only family
dinners, or family parties today. Very
few guests are in town, apparently, and
not many are leaving town, except a
few Denton people and fifty or sixty
students who go to Dallas or have
gone, to see Forbes Robinson in one of
the three plays to he preesnted at the
opera house. At the college dormi-
tories and at the boarding houses the
usual Thanksgiving dinners will be
held, and at Stoddard Hall and Metho-
dist dormitory there are a few’ guests
who are here to spend Thanksgiving
day with student friends or relatives.
