IT HAPPENED HERE IN WEST
On the cover of a weekly periodical
recently there appeared a picture with
the caption "Hit and Run." The pic-
ture told the story A child, hang-
ing on to the rear of a speeding
truck, had lost his hold nnd had been
hit by a car just behind. The driver
of the car did not stop* the truck
driver war unaware of the child's
presence on his vehicle.
Wt.at might have been a re-enact
ment of the same happening took
place on a West street Monday. A
local man. who had gone by the gram-
mar school to get his child, did not
notice the fact that two other young
•ters had seated themselves oh the
rear bumper of his car. Two blocks
from the school, one of the children
lost his balance and tumbled into the
middle of the street. Luckily, then- .
was no other car within a block of the j
child when he fell. Luckily, too, the
driver of this particular ear was go-
ing at a moderate speod. If this had
not been the case, then a terrible ac-
cident would have taken place. As it
was, the boy picked himself up and
laughingly continued on his way.
But should a car have been close
behind when the boy fell, or should
the driver of the car have been going
at a high rnte of -peed, who would
have been to blame? Surely not the
driver of the first car, for he was not
aware of the child’s presence. Surely

EXPERT WASHING AND GREASING
I Dan Russell
not the driver of the car behind, f> r
the ac ident w'ould have been unavoid-
able. Who else but the child, who,
unmindful of the <ianger which he
was faring, thought only of the long
walk which he was avoiding.
It -hould be the aim of every par-
ent to educate his child ugainst such
foolhardy actions. And it hould be
the aim of every car owner to avoid
such accidents a? this might have
been. And of all ti"'es. drivers should
be more careful at the hour when
school has been dismissed, for the
children are much less capable of tak-
ing care of themselves then the older
persons.

"WHAT WEST MAKES. MAKES
WEST"
A short time ago the City Bakery
of W'est placed a new bread on the
market, the "Cream Loaf.” And this
product has been growing in popu-
larity every day. Housewives of
West are a.king for this particular
loaf, accepting no substitute. Thi
.quick popularity proves that it is the
best.
The proof of the excellence of any
product lies in its "second sale.” To
ell any article the first time carries
with it no especial accomplishment;
1 but when the purchaser comes back
. for more, then the superiority of the
. goods is settled. And the women of
.this community can tell why they

The greatest care is taken

for they ure the best made in this ,

So congratulations to Henry Gaiser,

City Secretary,
The Abbott
ioiiu of Hill County this year.
But they will not go very far in
the district meet. Rice and Hard-
well will lie the favored clubs.
Bynum had Soukup well covered at
Hillsboro Saturday, hut Counts ran
wild to put the Abbott boys on th“
long end.
Those two boys ought to be finch
all-county -elections in Hill.
Perhaps SMU doesn't have the
conference title cinched yet. They
have five more games to play, and
all of them will be hard ones.
It will soon be time for the “All”
choices.
At guard positions, Skeeters, Wit-
cher. Atkins and Veltmnn should re-
ceive mention, while Ilietxel is a
cinch for center. Reynolds is his
nearest rival.
Williams. Sumner, Dixon, Murphy
and Alford are outstanding forwards.
Before long, the conference nines
will start training for the abbreviat-
ed 1931 season.
The pre-season favorites will he
Baylor, who hits been exceptionally
strong for the past three seamns.
The Bears have always been weak
in the box, but this year they will
have three excellent hurlers.
Jake Wilson will be the ace. with
Parker and Runnell* giving him good
suoport.
Jake doesn't have much on the hall,
but he seems to have the opposition
scared. Last year he heat Texas at
Waco with nothing but u prayer.
Parker, on the other hand, has lots
of stuff and plenty of speed. He did
some great pitching in amateur ball
last summer.
Les Malion has signed a Phillie
contract, after holding out for some
time. But he will hardly ihakp the
grade in the Quaker City.
A little more seasoning in the
minors will not harm him in the
least, and he ought to be rei\dy by
1932.
Speaking of pitchers, SMU has
lost her last year’s ace, Wishard. But
among the pitchers of the circuit
Wishard rated only as a deuce.
But when the chunkers last as long
as two innings up at Dallas, they rate
them as stars.
The Methodists set two records last
spring. They Tost 17 straight games.
And made An average of 13 errors per
game.
But cheer up, Mustang boosters!
Y’ou still have Rhea William* and
Bill Skeeters.
