for punching the tiny round holes in re-
ceipt forms, checks, etc., for easy tearing.
This new machine is manufactured in one
of the largest printing machinery factories
in this country, and is the latest type.
In addition to these two machines, the
Bee has recently added hundreds of dol-
lars worth of new type, with the most mo-
dern faces, as well as other new printing
equipment. With the press equipment al-
ready in our press room, and our Blue
Streak linotype, the Bee plant is now as
well equipped as any small town printshop
in Texas—and much better equipped than
most.
The Bee endeavors to give its readers
and customers the best reading matter and
the best printed matter obtainable at the
most reasonable prices possible. This new
machinery, and other improvements in
prospect, will enable us to continue to do
that.
Come by and inspect our new equip-
ment.

last night. F. C. Yarborough is
chancellor commander of the Sils-
bee lodge, and Joe Busby is deputy
chancellor.
In addition to the new fountain
equipment, Mr. O’Neil is also in-
stalling in his store a complete
ventillating air conditioning unit.
With this huge fan, the store will
be kept cool and pleasant through
the hot summer just ahead, and
will assure patrons of a pleasant
place to stop and refresh them-
selves.

In line with this newspaper’s policy of
giving its customers and readers the best
possible service in news and printing, the
Bee this week installed two brand new
machines of the very latest type and the
very highest quality.
Into the composing room, where the type
is put together and cut to fit the space al-
lotted it, went a new Hammond Mercury
Trim-O-Saw for sawing cuts, type, spacing
materials, etc. This saw is streamlined and
is equipped with every device known for
precision cutting of printing material. At
a twist of the wrist a slug or a cut can be
trimed the thickness of this paper, and de-
vices for clamping the metal to be cut pro-
vide safety to the fingers of the printers.
A mitering device provides the means of
putting corners of border together so that
it appears to be one solid piece. This new
saw will greatly improve the quality of
work done in this shop.
The bindery department has been pro-
vided with a brand new Rosback perforator
interested already in the civic af-
fairs of this city. He is anxious
to have the comments of Silsbee
people on his new place, and he
hopes the citizens will make use
of his facilities for serving ban-
quests, clubs, etc.
The formal opening of the Blue
Bonnet will ' be announced next
week, at which time Mr. Carter
hopes to be able to tell of some
of the specialties he has in store
for patrons here. You are wel-
come to visit and inspect this new
place at any time.

Price Daniel Boomed
For Speaker of House
Hon Price Daniel, representa-
tive of this district in the Texas
Legislature, seems to be the favor-
ite for speaker of next year’s
Legislature, according to a release
in Buck Taylor’s News and Views
in Austin. The following appear-
ed in this week’s release:
“As the Legislature nears its
close, it has long been the custom
to begin selecting the Speaker of
the next' House. Impetus and zeal
has been added this year because
politics are already boiling in Aus-
tin over the Senator’s race. Last
week friends of Price Daniel, 30
year old newspaper publisher of
Liberty, went into high and se-
cured something over sixty pledg-
es for Daniel, who is now serving
his second term as Representa-
tive. One of the hardest workers
in the House, he is considered a
conservative, although supporting
the Social Security program. He
is president of the Young Demo-
cratic Clubs of Texas and mem-
ber of the State Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee.”
With the Speaker of the House
from this district, many things
could be secured through his lead-
ership and interest in this sec-
tion. Mr. Daniel is one of the abl-
est legislators in Austin, and he
stands high in the esteem of oth-
er high state, officials.

with the addition of a six-foot ex-

been long since this drug store
installed new soda fountain equip-

This week the Hardin Drug
store installed in its handsome
store a brand new refrigerated
candy case for better dispensing
of sweets to its customers. The new
case is large and beautiful, and
displays to advantage the large
stock of candies carried by Mr.
Skinner in this modern store.
Mr. Skinner believes in keeping
his equipment up to date, and this
new candy case is just another ad-
dition to help him render the best
service possible to the people of
Silsbee.

Wedding Solemnized
Miss Eloise Schuler and Dr. W.
J. Poshataske were married last
Saturday morning at 8:30 o’clock
in the All Souls’ Catholic church
in Silsbee. Only a few relatives
and close friends of the principals
attended.
The bride, a graduate of Silsbee
high school and the charming
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
Schuler of this city, was employed
by the Pacific Finance company in
Beaumont previous to her mar-
riage.
Miss Lorida Schuler, sister to the
bride, was maid of honor and Louis
Howard of Silsbee was best man.
The bride was given in marriage
by her brother, J. H. Schuler, Jr.
Following the ceremony the
young couple left for a wedding
trip to New Orleans. They are
making their home in Silsbee in
one of the Irby Hyde apartments.
Dr. Poshataske is associated with
Dr. W. H. Beazley in the Silsbee
Clinic and has been connected
with that institution since he came
to Silsbee about a year ago.
The wedding was the first to
be performed in the new Catholic
church, which was beautifully dec-
orated with carnations and ferns.

F. H. Carpenter, Jr., president
of Sour Lake State Bank, has been
named chairman of the Hardin
County Committee for the sale of

committee. They are as follows:
Sour Lake—F. H. Carpenter, Jr.,
chairman, B. T. Simmons, M. L.
Yount, and J. L. Johnson; Kountze

Mr. Carpenter’s letter naming
the committee says in part:
“The campaign has received
much publicity and the various
types of bonds to be sold have
been explained at length in the
press. However, if any of the
members of this committee are not
familiar with the types of bonds
or need additional information I
wish to direct you to your local
postmaster or banker.
“This is one service we can per-
form for our country and we
should bend every effort to see
that Hardin County does its part.”
Yesterday local Boy Scouts in
uniform, at the request of Pres-
ident Roosevelt, placed Defense
Bond placards in every business
house and show window in Sils-
bee, and they will continue to as-
sist in the promotion of the cam-
paign.
The total sale of Defense Bonds
m Silsbee to date exceeds $10,000
according to figures released by
the Silsbee State Bank and the
t ostmaster here. For those whose
means do not permit the purchase
of a full bond at this time, there
is a system of stamp savings in
denominations of from 5 cents to
one dollar.

The annual spring remodeling
program is well under way at the
Rainbow cafe this week, and
within a few days the popular eat-
ing place will present an altogether
new and pleasing appearance. The
front has already received a coat
of white paint, and the painters
are at work now on the inside ceil-
ing.
According to George Plunk own-
er of the cafe, the inside will be
completely redecorated, and many
changes will be made in the ar-
rangements in the building. The
Rainbow is one of Silsbee’s most
popular eating places, and is the
favorite meeting place of every-
body during the coffee hours.
Knights of Pythias Lodge
To Meet Here Next Week
According to Joe C. Busby, pio-
neer member of the Knights of
Pythias lodge here, that organiza-
tion has been reorganized and has
now secured all necessary cre-
dentials to begin regular meetings
again. The first meeting under the
new organization will be held next
Thursday night at the Sunday-
school annex of the Methodist
church.
There are 12 members in the
local lodge at this time, with more
expected to come in right away.
The Silsbee lodge has appointed
Mr. Busby as a delegate to the

sible for a high class eating place.
The downstairs part of the build-
ing is cool and inviting, with a long
counter lined with comfortable
chairs, as well as ten roomy ta-
bles each of which will seat four
persons. A soda fountain of the
latest type has been installed for
preparing cold drinks and other
delights. At one end of the build-
ing is a complete ladies’ lounge
with powder room and full length
mirror, complete with restful
chromium chairs and table. A
men’s room is at the other end of
the room.
Upstairs is the banquet hall in
which Mr. Carter can take care
of gatherings up to 200 people. The
upstairs windows are draped with
beautiful curtains on pull cords,
and there are banquet tables
enough to take care of nearly any
occasion. An electric elevator, or
dumb waiter, brings the food from
the kitchen below to the banquet
room where it will be served.
Already a number of affairs are
scheduled for this room, among
which is a district banquet of Red
& White stores, brought here
through the efforts of A. R. Ney-
land.
The Blue Bonnet Cafe is a place
that any city could be proud of
and Silsbee people are especially
proud of this new business. Mr.
Carter is reputed to be one of the
best restaurant men in this section
Fowler Dancers lo
Present Recital
Here Friday Night
One of the high spots in the
school commencement programs
each year is the annual recital of
the Fowler School of Dancing, the
seventh of which will be present-
ed here tomorrow (Friday) night
by Mrs. Maureen Fowler Jackson,
head of the school. The patriotic
theme will be carried out this
year, with the title of the program
being, “America on Parade.”
From the tiniest tot to the most
advanced pupil, the dancers pre-
pare throughout the whole year
for this big event. Mrs. Jackson,
and her two assistants, Misses
Gerry and Jo Fowler, have out-
done their previous efforts this
year in the matter of program,
costumes and scenic effects. De-
picting the history of the U. S. A.,
the dances bring you from the
landing of the Pilgrims on these
shores up to today when America
is the most powerful nation on
earth.
The recital this year is spon-
sored by the Council of Social
Agencies, and the advance ticket
sale is now on. Every seat in the
high school auditorium has been
reserved for this presentation, and
all proceeds will be turned over
to the Council for charitable pur-
poses. The program will begin at
8:00 o’clock.
Mrs. Jackson, and the Misses
Fowler, are all accomplished per-
formers themselves, and have been
much in demand throughout their
careers as entertainers at ban-
quets, programs, etc. Miss Jo Fow-
ler toured the country last season
with a troupe of professional dan-
cers, and gained much experience
from the trip. They also operate
schools in Kountze and Jasper,
and have already put on success-
ful recitals in both those cities.
The recital tomorrow night will
one of the most delightful affairs
of the year and a capacity crowd
is expected to attend.

Read-Turrentine Medals
Displayed at Hardin Drug
A great deal of interest has been
manifested in the Read-Turrentine
declamation contest this year and
as in many past years an elimina-
tion contest will be necessary to
thin down the number of entries
so that the program will not be
too long.
A large number of boys and girls
of Silsbee high school will compete
foi these gold medals which are
given each year to the best boy and
best girl deciaimers by J. W. Read
and L. O. Turrentine. The contest
originated nearly a quarter of a
century ago with the late J. A.
“Uncle Bob” Turrentine and J. W.
Read, and has been held every ■
year since that time at the com-
mencement of each school year.
This year the contest will be
held Monday night, May 19, in
Silsbee High school auditorium.
The medals are displayed in the
Hardin Drug company window.

Silsbee and Hardin county have
been extended an invitation to be
guests at the first annual Dairy

manently for various public ev-
ents. The attractions will provide
