sight on the part of the editor, the
School Notes were ommitten last
week. They are included bflow).
Mr. Nation has been reading us
some Economics, and from what we’ve j,
heard- its going to be pretty hard. |
Rev. S. M. Hull was a visitor at the
school Monday morning.
We are getting ready for the Inter-
scholastic League Meet, to be held at
Taft, March twenty-fourth and fifth.
We are getting our debaters and de-
elaimers in working order. We are
planning on entering every event.
Last year Sinton was high point win-
ner in literary events at both county
and .district meets.. This year there
is a cup offered to the winner in lit-
erary events, besides the ones offered
for' both boys and girls debate, and we
mean to fight for it. Come on. Sin-
ton, are you back of us? Lets hear
from you if you are. Remember—we
j had contestants at the state meet last
l year and we mean to have them there
again this year!
Watch for “All A Mistake,” a play
to lie given soon by the Senior Class
for the benefit of the'Annual.
| The Senior Class,' together with Mr.
: Beckworth, went to Corpus Christi
; Thursday for the purpose of having
their “beauty struck.” When they re-
•ceived the proofs, however, they soon
discovered that the photographer had
taken something besides their beauty.
Mid-term exam^rfill be heard from
the latter part of .this week, and some
| of us have a pretty weak feeling.
| Wonder why?
TO THE PEOPLE OF SINTON
ESPECIALLY THE PATRONS OF
THE SINTON HIGH SCHOOL
The Senior Class is striving to put
out an Annual this term, and wish to
thank those who have helped us in
the work so far. But there are sev-
eral problems, to Annual building,
however; the accumulation of pic-
tures, the co-operation of a staff, and'
last but not least, the financial prob-
lem. There will be a play at- the high
school auditorium in several weeks
time, and we take this means o^ urg-
ing every person, man and 'woman,
young or old, to attend, because we
need the support of the town people.
This work cannot be accomplished
without outside help. The sale of the
Annuals is now on. They are moder-
ately priced, and ,there certainly is an
assurance that there shall be no un-
clean, unjust dealing with the pur-
chasers of these Annuals.' For every
Annual sold there is a receipt given
the purchaser, signed by the person
from whom the purchase is made. We
must have your help; you know it, we
know it, so why be bashful in asking
you, and we honestly believe you will
respond to this call. We thank you in
advanch. Remember—Annuals may
be gotten in May, but receipts can be
gotten now—so “never put off till to
morrow that which you can do today..’
We thank you.
The Senior Class.

Ben, while rehearsing in the play,
j “All A Mistake,” meant to say “I'm
i supposed to exit here.” What he did
; say was, “I’m supposed9 to exist here.”
| A very interesting program was ren-
. dered in chapel Wednesday morning
by the first and second grades. We
also had as a visitor, Bro* Renffo. who
favored us with a solo and an excel-
lent talk. We are always glad to have
Bro. Renfro with us. for he always has
; something of value to say to us.
Theofficers of the Junior, S'ohpo
more and Freshman classes, together
with the members of the staff from
those grades, will go to Corpus Chris-
ti this afternoon, Wednesday, and
have their pictures taken for the An-
nual.

Dainty little Nellie Barton was cry-
ing as if her heart would break. It
was in vain that her best friend and
neighbor sought to comfort her. This
was the first cloud that had arisen in
the matrimonial sky for Mrs. Barton,
and, of course, after a season of per-
fect honeymoon bliss, it seemed to be
a terribly dark one.
“Tell me all about it, dear, and let
us see if between us we can’t hud
some way to patch up this first do-
mestic quarrel.”
“Quarrel!” repeated the bride of a
month in a terrified gasp. “Oh, Idear,
no—there has been no quarrel.”
“Go on, dear,” she urged.
“It’s about the meals,” confessed
Nellie, with a lltle sob: “I thought
everything was just suiting Ronald
to a T. He praised my biscuits* and
said he just doted on my cookies, pie
and sunshine cake: He said they re-
minded him of food for angels. Then
yesterday I found out that it was all
a mollow hockery.”
“Wliat, my dear?”
“I mean a Follow mockery. I’ve
been so upset I get flustered whenever
I think of it. You must know that an
old college chum of his was at tea
last evening—a Mr. Stowell. I did my
best to make Ronald proud of me.
Everything was light and dainty.”
"What was it, dear?” inquired Mrs.
Dorset t. /
“Oh. they got talking 6f old times.
Mi-. Stowell reminded Ronald of a glo-
rious week they had spent together at
the Barton home, before they were
married. Such cooking! How moth-
er did set "out a meal that was a meal!
Particularly how Mr. Stowell had
never had such an appetite as eve-
nings when mother bad baked beans.
Such beans! And mince pie! Oh,
it made his mouth water to think of
it! Then Ronald got egged on to brag
of Iris mother. That salt rising
urn! um!” and pretty Nellie, In try-
ing to imitate her dear one, broke
down again.
“And apple sauce!” she choked out
as the last straw. Practical, loving
Mrs. Dorsett tried to soothe her.
“See here, my dear,” she said, “you
are making a great mountain out of
the chatter of two big overgrown boys.
Now promise to forget It and I wll
make everything right.”
“H-hbw *,v \v:H you?” sobbed Nellie.
“Will you keep a secret?”
“Y-yes—if it w-vvill do any. good.”
“Very well, mother is coming to
visit me next week. You say Mr.
Stowell is going to come to tea again
on his way home from his trip?”
“Yes, he is invited for Thursday eve-
ning.” V 5
“Then Thursday evening, dear,”
promised Mrs. Dorsett, with a little
wrinkle of a smile about her lips,
“those two overgrown boys shall just
revel in all the dainties of old times.”
Ronald Barton ushered his friend and
old-time cluim into the neat, attractive
little dining room at home, proud of
the neatly set table with its glittering
silver and glassware. Nellie never
looked lovelier. It was when the maid
brought in a great steaming dish of
pork and beans that Ronald stared a
little,.
‘T.utcher must have forgotten the
Iamb chops,” he said- apologetically.
“Always liked them," declared
Stowell.
“Why, Nellie, isn’t this some new
fangled sort of -baker’s bread?” in-
quired Ronald.
"No, indeed!” resented Nellie with
dignity. “That is the reguiur old-fash-
ioned home-made, salt-rising bread
that everybody dotes over:” ■
“Guess our tastes are. getting sort
of perverted, old boy!” laughed
Stowell.
Ronald's eyes fairly-'bulged at the
dessert. The apple sauce looked to
him a poor, thin, .cheerless disli to
offer to an invited guest.
And then came the climax as. the
maid soberly brought in three great
slabs of mime pie—good pie, grand
. pie. but on a hot night—!
“Too hmivv for me," declared Sto-
well, and Ronald gtan,red reproachful-
ly at Nellie.
The gentlemen adjourned to the
porch. Ronald experienced a species
of -<*cinl discomfort.
“Guess we'd better stroll down to
the hotel a little later and have a
game of billiards, eh. Barton?” he sug-
gested.
“They open a new grill room to-
night. T bear.!’ observed Ronald.
“Why. mot her!” and the speaker
sprang from his chair and greeted hi*
inother with genuine gladness.
“This is a surprise, Mrs. Barton,”
spoke Stowell, ’ '
“Yes, I was busy out in the kitchen
and was afraid the maid would spoil
things if I didn’t superintend a'Mlttle."
spoke the old lady demurely, as she
had been taught by her plotting
daughter.. Mrs. Dorsett.
And then the truth dawned on
Ronald. He glanced at his compan-
ion. Stowell had flushed up arid look-
ed bored.
“Boys" spoke Mrs. Barton In her
winning, motherly way, “never forget
that two healthy, all day roving lads
corning In to a heavy farm supper-
hungry as tramps aren’t two dainty
city bred children of the larger
growt h. The ‘conking mot her . did’ Is
Just tin* tiling in its place, but, as 1
notice from what you left, , it doesp’t
hold a candle to dear little Nellie's
clever trifles.”
And that was the last that Nellie
Barton ever heard of “mother’s cook
