PIES AND CAKES
Stores Install
Burglar Alarms to
Stop Robberies
Because of the large number of
burglaries in Mt. Pleasant during
recent months two of the leading
dry goods concerns have purchas-
ed and installed burglar alarm
systems to prevent loss of mer-
chandise in the future. The stor-
es that installed them Friday are
the Page Fashion Shop and Lide’s
Cash Store.
The alarm systems are so con-
structed that when windows and
doors of the buildings are tamper-
ed with a siren sets up a contin-
uous blowing and all lights in the
building are automatically turn-
ed on. They are made by the In-
terstate Automatic Burglar Alarm
Co., of Lufkin, and are recom-
mended by all policemen as being
tamper-proof.

Coach Indicates Football
Prospects
S. H. Spurger Jr.
Coach W. F. Swan of the local
high school has made his usual
statement about his football team
for next year in a recent inter-
view. Swan says he hopes to
have five letter men back for next
season. There will be three in
the backfield and two in the line,
but with some unusually good
squadmen returning, he should
have another good ball club..
Swan said, T*he teams to beat j i»>i..>..,.n.ami,mi,mm,>11.-111.1.1,ii..i
next will be Mineola, Gilmer and ................
Mt. Vernon.” He seems to think
that they have the inside track to-
ward the district championship.
Swan said that he couldn’t say his
team would be good or bad. If
he said it would be good it would
make the boys chesty, and if he
said it would be bad the fans
would be disappointed.
On asking him a few questions
about this year’s team, he said:
“This is the best modern team
we’ve ever had, only the teams of
1919 and 1922 could compare with
it. The team of 1928 might be
classed as a fourth in ranking in
Mother couldn’t tell these pies from her own—they’ve
got a x’eal taste of home-baking in them. That’s because we
use the same fine ingredients in them that you use in your own
kitchen—and use them with no skimping or short cuts.
