The Decatur baud went to Bowie
last Monday to attend a gathering of
the bands from North Texas and Ok-
lahoma. Decatur had the largest
; representation oi any visiting band,
| and was the recipient of many com-
plimentary remarks by the Bowie
people. The mayor of Bowie in his
welcome address paid Decatur's may-
or, Samuel Terrell Lillard, some very
high compliments upon his progres-
sive spirit and enthusiasm in behalf
of his town. The Bowie mayor stat-
ed that if Bowie had several men of
Lillard's calibre, Bowie would be as

Miss Ada Harding, teacher of the
sixth grade of Decatur schools, was
testing her class in civil government
yesterday. Who is the president of
ihe United States?” "Mr. Harding,”
। answered a little boy. "Who is the
vice-president?” asked the teacher.
' One after anothen of the young
Americans shook their heads, signi-
lying their ignorance of the desired
information. Finally, a little toe
head in the rear of the room shot up
। his hand. "All right, Willie, you
; may tell me who the vice-president
is,” said the teacher. "Please, ma'm,
its Pat Neff."
Here is a singular incident show-
ing how easy it is to mistranslate an
overheard remark.
Said Mrs. A, one of the over hear-
ers: "They must have been to the
zoo, because I heard her mention ’a
trained deer.’ ”
Said Mrs. B: "No.no. They were
talking about going away and she
said to him. Find out about the
train, dear.’ ”
Said Mrs. C: “I think you are both
wrong. It seemed to me they were
discussing music, for she said. A
trained ear’ very distinctly.”
A few minutes later the lady her-
self appeared and they told her of
their disagreement.
"Well,” she laughed, that’s cer-
tainly funny You are poor guessers,
all of you The fact is. I’d been out
to the country overnight and I was
asking my husband if it rained here
last evening.”
