ABOUT TMPSON
At a meeting of the board
of trustees of- the Timpson
school Monday night, Miss
Mozelle Baldwin of Tenaha,
was elected a member of the
school faculty, making a total
of sixteen teachers this year.
Miss Baldwin will teach in the
high school. This addition to
high school faculty was made
necessary by increased attend-
ance; it will be remembered
that an additional teacher was
elected last term for a like
reason, increasing faculty from
fourteen to sixteen in last
two years.
The second week of school
finds an enrollment of 425,
and of this number 155 is in
the high school. Last year
there were 133 in high school.
The senior class for this term
totals 44.
Superintendent J. J. Comp-
ton is delighted with the splen-
did beginning of this year’s
term and reports everything
moving along in very satisfac-
tory manner. 'With Timpson’s
splendid school plant and
excellent faculty, wonderful
educational advantages are
given the boys and girls of this
section.
Heating facilities at the
scEoo! have been improved for
this winter; gas burners have
been installed for fueling the
heating system, thus doing
away with the use of coal- The
cafeteria and domestic science
room also have been equip-
ped with gas equipment.

Austin, Sept. 19.—County
Judge Oscar C. Dancy of Cam-
eron county, who worked in
the interest of the original 1-
cent Texas gasoline sales tax,
will advocate increasing the
rate from 2 to 4 cents at the
next session of the legislature,
he said here.
Judge Dancy predicted the
rate will be raised to either 3
or 4 cents. He advocates the
increased gasoline tax as the
best method of raising funds
for the construction of the Tex-
es highwry system, under pres-
ent methods of operation. He
believes, he declared, a 4-cent
taxwwould more nearly cause
the users of the highways to
bear their share of the cost of
building and upkeep of the
roads in proportion to the use
of the highways.
Judge Dancy pointed out
coach Walker, the school that he and others, pushing
football team 'tnown through-
out this section as “The Bears”
will soon be ready for contests
with other teams of this sec-
tion.

the original act of providing
funds for highway construc-
tion, advocated a 3-cent initial
tax, but that the highest that
could be secured then was 1
cent per gallon.
'For 16 months, the rate was
3 cents per gallon until Sep
tember 1 -of this year, when it
dropped to 2 cents per gallon
under a compromise provision
in the tax law..

Chicken growers, fanciers and
those who merely tolerate a
few hens as a means of sup-
plying a fresh supply of* the
most ancient breakfast foods,
have at some time no doubt j
wondered just what per cent of
these were consumed by the I
(Coluber quadrivittatus), or
milk snake or as more familiar
known to most of us, the com-
mon chicken snake. This same
query was awakened a short
time ago in the mind of Mrs.
J. T. Bogard of Timpson. Eggs
were persistently disappear-
ing, just how many there was
no way of telling; nest eggs,
left as an example for next
days meditatiua of the hen,
just would not stay placed. Of
course this good lady knew
wllat was going with the eggs,
so these were omitted, and in
one nest a nice, large white
doorknob was substituted. On
a morning following, the egg,

awards to the various comma-the yarlners- Union Ware

nities of the state would
be made for several days.
■ Three members of the com-
was mittee met with General Rob-
missing: Thinking perhaps
some of the children had re-
moved same from the nest, in-
quiry was made, but none of
the ‘little ones remembered
having seen the substitute.
Nothing further was thought
of the matter until a few days posts.
erlson here Monday :o work
out a basis for making these
awards. They decided that
towns would receive captured
equipment in ratio to success of
the membership campaigns this
year of their American Legion
later when entering an out-
building about the place, an
odor not entirely inoffensive
was noticed and upon investi-
gation a-large, dead chicken
snake was found, and about
midways of his snakeships
body was a balloon-like effect
entirely out of proportion to
other parts of the snake’s
body. Recalling the incident
of the missing knob, further in-
vestigation was made, which
proved that even snakes makes
mistakes—the snake had
swallowed the bit of porcelain.
W. C. Strawn of Stockman
was in town today, and when
asked by a Times reporter re-
garding the condition of his
crops, stated that he had a fine
crop of sugar cane. Mr. Strawn
manufactures several hundred
gallons of cane syrup each
year.
Some time will be required
for the commission to • check
result of the membership drive
of each post, General Robert-
son said. Every community
has an equal share in the dis-
tribution, he said.
