‘Tis Armistice Day, the day of the
big patrictie parade and the annual
grid game between Wheatley Wildcats
and Yates Lions.
Looks like Jupiter Pluvius is going
to score some touchdowns on his own
accord.
Well, the rain has taken a short
vacation and the crowds (we said,
“crowds") are rushing to West End
Park to witness the local high schools
in their yearly tilt.
chlon, grand ancellor now is the teim
' Blessed if it isn’t Prof. L. B. Kin-
chion, grand chancellor of the Colored
Knights of Pythias, trying to pur-
chase pasteboard and see the clash.
Another or other visitors: Harold
Tarver of San Antonio and Ewell
Starks of Dallas. It’s awful those
fellows have to come to Houston to
see a real high school football fray.
The two cheering sections, with
their leaders gaily bedecked in school
colors, are the cynosure of all eyes,
and how they are rooting!
, Hundreds of white fans filling large
section of the grandstand and ap-
parently enjoying the game. Now
some of them are rushing for the
field and now Officer Dave Burney,
under directions of Referee “Jmmy”
Law, is rushing them back into the
stands.
Miss Lydia Hawkins, Gregory
teacher, trying to learn some of the
fine points of the game.
Loquacious Henry Brown, Yates
partisan and building sign artist,
about to lose his voice after that
Wheatley touchdown.
Mud and water everywhere, while
players dart here and there!
Well, the gospel is represented.
Think we see Revs. J. R. Burdette
and J. B. Butler.
Those Fifth Warders and North-
aiders are so chesty you just can’t
tell ’em anything, since the. Wildcats
have emerged victorious over the
Lions, 7-0.
Now bedlam is breaking loose as
the Wheatley backers rush to their
boys as they leave the playing field.
‘Twas a great game and still great-
er crowd. Principal Ryan and Smith,
______and Coaches Holland and Codwell are
(in Miby" gins, born oetober 31. to be congratulated upon the fine
game played and still finer spirit

Has Prettiest Bright
Hair In All New York
The part which exquisite Virginia
Wheeler contributes to the success
of “Connie’s Hot Chocolates,” New
York's musical hit conceived by Leon
ard Harper, is attributed to her gor-
geous, bright, smooth hair as much
as her beautiful features.
“My hair looks so soft, even and
full of life because I make it that
way,” says Miss Wheeler. “If you
were to see it before I fix it with
La-Em-Strait hair dressing you would
wonder how I manage it because it
does not stay so beautifully brushed
by itself. La-Em-Strait keeps it in
place and gives it that luster as 1
brush it.”
La-Em-Strait is very popular with
the men too because it is so easy to
use and is not greasy. Takes only
30 seconds to make the most stub-
born and unmanageable hair smooth
and bright. That’s why more than a
million folks prefer it. All drug
stores have the 25c and 50c packages

ITS
RADIANT
HEATER
TIME
When the
Weather Man
Prognosticates
The best cough remedy that • money
could buy, can easily be mixed at home. It
saves money and gives you the most reliable
quick-acting medicine you ever used. The
way it takes hold of stubborn coughs and •
chest colds, giving immediate relief, is aston-
ishing.
Any druggist can supply you with 2 1-2
ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bot-
tle, and fill rp with plain granulated sugar
syrup or strained honey. It's no trouble at all
to mix, and when you once use it, you will
never be without it. Keeps perfectly and
tastes good- children really like it.
It is surprising bow quickly this loosens
the germ-laden phlegm, and soothea and heals
the inflamed membranes. At the same time
part of the medicine is absorbed into the
blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial
tubes, and helps the system throw off the
whole trouble. Even those severe cough,
which follow cold epidemics, arc promptly
ended.
Pinex is a highly concentrated compound
of genuine Norway Pine, containing the ac-
tive agent of creosote, ia a refined, palatable
form. Nothing known in medicine is more
helpful in cases of severe coughs, chest eolde
and bronchial troubles.
Do net accept a substitute for Pinex. It is
guaranteed to give prompt relief or money
refunded.
