BASKETBALL
The Irishmen had a streak of “tuff
tack” when they went to Kirkland
last week. The Kirkland court was
poorly lighted and an out-door court
to boot; and those Kirkland boys
Were seven footers and had only lost
three games in two years, and two
«f those were at State last year.
The final score was 40-14 in favor
of the “seven footers”.
Mobeetie boys and girls came over
Friday night The Irishment mopped
•p on the boys by a score of 25 to
18. The “Luck Devils” were unlucky

■core of 22 to 21 in favor of Mo-
beetie.
S. H. S. girls and boys went to
Mobeetie Tuesday. The boys came
borne victorious by a score of 17 to
7; the “Lucky Devils” were defeated

FRESHMAN CLASS
Several 8-A Fish were promoted to
9-B Sophs, but due to a crowded
study hall we are to continue “living"
in 8th study hall. So, we’re still
going to fight for the Fish and
Juniors.
Lola B. Holmes was elected the
‘ibest all around girl” for the Fresh-
man class. Help us make her win!
The Freshman class organized
Fish club Friday. Dues are to be
paid monthly for activities. Watch
us grow.
SOSIETAS ROMANORUM
STOP! READ! ACT!
The following “best all-around”
girls were elected from the classes
of S. H. S.: Audra Adamson, Senior;
Mildred Duncum, Junior, Marie
Perkins, Sophomore; Lolp B. Holmes,
Freshman. All of these girls are
brunettes, and if you like brunettes
you have a fine collection to choose
from for the “best all-around” girl
of S. H. S.; they’re good sports,
pretty, friendly, and they believe “
all men were created equal”.
Our plea to you is to buy your
gum where you can get it for four
cents a package and drop the other
penny in the box down-town for
your favorite brunette. Proceeds go
for the promotion of the Annual, and
the “best all-around” girl will have
a page of the Annual dedicated to
her.
Sheriff J. P. William#
Announces Candidacy
J. P. Williams, who is serving his
first term as sheriff and tax col-
lector, has authorized the announce-
ment of his candidacy for re-election
subject to the action of the Demo-
cratic primaries.
During the past two years Mr.
Williams has devoted bis time and
energies to an impartial program of
law enforcement and careful dis-
charge of the duties of his office.
Mr. Williams said he felt the office
would receive more benefit from his
services during the next two years
than in the present term, if he is
elected, because he will be in a bet-
ter position to serve. His first term,
he says, has given him a better
grasp of the affairs of the Sheriff’s
department.
Mr. Williams says that he has at
all times tried to deliver service such
as would meet with the approval of
the law abiding element of the coun-
ty. He believes that his conduct of
the affairs Of the office has been im-
partial and that many whom it has
been his duty to bring into court
have found him willing to accord
them every privilege and courtesy
possible under the conditions.
Before election to the Sheriff and
Tax Collector’s office Mr- Williams
served two terms as County Com-
missioner. The collection of taxes is
one of the important duties of the
office which he now holds and Mr.
Williams says that the reports from
his office have been repeatedly ap-
proved by the State Comptroller and
by the Commissioners’ Court.
His candidacy is ^deserving of I
earnest consideration at the hands of |
the electors of Wheeler County.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Seniors and Juniors are work-
ing on a negro minstrel, sponsored
by Miss Delaney, to be staged soon
at the Texas Theatre. Watch for
the date, because its’s a dandy.
An agricultural meeting is to be
held in the high school building Fri-
day. Everyone interested is most
cordially invited to attend.
Poultry Instruction
Given County Youth#
Sixty-one boyB and girls of the
Pakan, Heald and Ramsdell schools
attended a hen setting demonstration
Thursday of last week when T. R. I
Broun, county farm agent, and Miss
Viola Jones, home demonstrator, |
gave some interesting pointers on
poultry raising.
A standard bred hen was set in
the proper way on well selected eggs
in a nest of the right size and con-
struction. The nest was thoroughly
disinfested and the hen was treated
with sodium floride. In contrast a
scrub hen was set in the hit-or-miss j
fashion so often used by farmers
who continuously complain of hard
luck.
Later this demonstration will be
put on by the school children to see
that they thoroughly understand the
methods.
In the Fish-Soph girls’ basketball
game Tuesday the Sophs won 2-0,
and the Soph boys won over the
Fish boys with a score of 30-18.

ASSEMBLY
A most delightful play was pre-
aented by Vernon Close, Lola B.
Holmes, Hershel Scruggs and Carolyn
Pendleton, members of the Dramatic
Club, Friday. The play, “The Mayor
and the Manicure,” was a comedy
and was enjoyed by all who heard
Dr. Bryant, who lectured at the
Texas Theatre Monday night, lectured
to the student-body Tuesday about
the possibilities of life if we had
the will-power and if we set our goal
at a young age.
