COLORFUL ECLIPSE
DUE JANUARY 24TTH
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 21.
—For a few minutes on the
morning of January 24th next,
the moon will get between the
earth and the sun and cut off
all the light we get from that
body. This eclipse will be visi-
ble in the United States, and it
doubtless will be seen by more
millions of people than any such
occurance in the past, according
to Professor E. W. Brown, of
Yale University.
An eclipse is not a rare event,
one or two occur every year, but
the one next January is notable
for the fact that it occurs in a
territory from which the light
of the sun has not been wholly
obscured by the moon within
the memory of any one living.
“If we look in the records of
past eclipses,” Professor Brown
said, “and the predictions for
future eclipses we soon see that
in any one place there will be
a total eclipse of the sun only
once in every few’ hundred years
The coming eclipse will produce
darkness over a narrow band ot
territory which stretches from
a point somewhere west of Du-
luth and after crossing northern
Michigan and Wisconsin, is
seen in Connecticut and then
passes out to sea. The hour ol
the phenomenon is between .)
and 9:30, eastern time.”

Make the
wind
pump
your
water

AS The wind blows over your farm, there’s power going to waste. That wind
might just as well be pumping your water without any cost to you except the initial
cost of putting up A WONDER WINDMILL.
YOU Will be surprised to learn how little one will cost you. And after it’s once
up, there’s no fuel to buy or to haul, no up-keep to pay—just steady, dependable power
—the cheapest on earth.
Wonder Windmills
THIS Company was the first to make a windmill with gears running in a bath of
oil. It is so strong, so simple, so durable that there is nothing to get out of order and
it requires no attention. Oil it once a year—that’s all.
ALL Mills have ball-bearing boxed metal turntable. All mills include 5-foot tower
top, 3- or 4-post stubs to fit wood or steel towers. No extra charge for tower top and
pump rod. Windmill head with tower top and pump rod may be purchased without
tower if desired.
THERE Are hundreds of Wonder Wind Mills giving splendid service in Texas and
the Southwest.
MAIL This coupon for free illustrated catalogue with interesting facts about
wind power and its uses.
NO MORE APPROPRIATE
GIFT FOR ALL THE FAMILY
THAN An Edison Talking Machine. It is
not something that will soon Income out of
date or useless, but will continue for years
as a beautiful piece of house furniture, an
instructive and entertaining instrument for
young and old, and is an evidence of your
better judgment.
We have several models in stock that we
shall be glad of an opportunity to demon-
strate.

Schreiner defeated Tivy High
40 to 0. Schreiner High show-
ed to be in excellent form Sat-
urday when they put up a crush
mg offense and registered a 40,
*1o 0 score against their oppo-!
nents. Only twice during th-v
game were the heavy Schreiner I
backs held for down. Tivy, on |
the other hand, never carried |
the ball past the line of scrim-
mage. The Tivy boys, although
small, were clean sports, hard
fighters and are deserving for
their grit and “stickability.”
This game closed the season
for the local team, being unable
to schedule other games.
A hire was built in the fur-
nace for the first time Monday
I morning.
! Monday afternoon, Novem-
ber 24th being the fourth Mon-
day of the month, the P.-T. A.
met at the school building for
their regular meeting.
1 The Senior Class met last
Wednesday and decided on a
name for the annual, which was
“The Chevon.”
Guy Munn, who is going to
school at McMurray College at
Abilene, visited school several
days last week.
Mrs. Jim Massey gave the
first grade a beautful geranium.
Mr. Miller says if the pupils
would studyan hour or two af-
ter supper each night, they
would study an hour or two af-
also urges the parents to visit
school and see what kind of
work their children are doing.
Last Tuesday afternoon Eliz-
abeth Murr was absent from
school on account of illness.
Tuesday and Wednesday the
second six weeks examinations
were given.
The State Teachers conven-
tion meets this year in San An-
tonio November 27, 28, and 29.
This is one of the biggest things
in the teaching profession. It
usually has an attendance of
from eight to ten thousand.
At this convention the teachers
will be given an opportunity to
hear some of the best educa-
tors of the day. All kinds of
sectional meetings are held; all
kinds of problems are discussed
and solved. This is, in short,
a melting pot for the education-
al world. Educational facilities
of the latest type from every
depart men will be displayed. All
kinds of play-ground and retre-
at ional apparatus will also be
on display. The teachers ot
Schreiner High School and quite
a number of patrons are going
to attend this convention.
You will remember the old ad-
ntrp “You ran tako « tr»
water but you cannot make him
drink.” It is the same way with
students; teachers can assign
work to be done, but they can-
not do the work for your child.

GARAGF PHONE 33.
STORE PHONE 77.
One of the questions asked
most frequently by history stu-
dents, and sometimes by par-
ents <if history, is this:
“What is use of studying his-
H tory ? *
In answer to this question I
jam slating the aims of history,
which are seven-fold:
I. Discipline — History trains
the mind, the imagination, and
the Judgment.
II. Culture It enriches the
human.ty of the pupil.
III. Inspiration It furnishes
ideas of conduct, patriotism and
social service.
IV. Practical knowledge— It
teaches pupils how to act in the
present.
V. Enlighten-- 1* illuminates
II other studies, ♦ : ally litera-
ture and geography.
VI It helps the student culti-
vate a taste for historical read-
Vl5—The explanation of the
present nothing in the world to-
day is really intelligible apart
from its history.
Now Mr. Father and Mrs.
Mother, whose daughter and
•on are taking history in the
Schreiner High School, do you
see that your son or daughter
studies at horn* ? If you do not
you should do no. If your son
or daughter does not stud> a’
home it is not ltecau*e he or
rhe d«ies not mod that study.
If he or she has mad* ■* I*
making “F” on hi* nr her re
port card it means "failure, it
it dm** not mean “tight.” ».e
the teacher** have your co-op* ?

FORMER SONORA GIRL
ELECTED GOVERNOR
Even the world is a small
place!
If you should say to an Ozona
girl, “Be good and maybe you’ll
be governor some day,” it would
make her laugh; but that is
just what has happened to a
girl of Sonora, Ozona’s next-
door neighbor to the east.
Mrs. Ross, who has been elect
ed governor of the State of Wy-
oming, was formerly Miss Nel-
lie Tayloe, of Sonora, Sutton
County, Texas, and many of us
in this immediate section knew
her as an unusually bright
young woman. She is a sister
of Judge Tayloe, now of San
Antonio, and is a relative of
Mrs. Tom Nolan, of Ozona.
Mrs. Ferguson, also, recently
elected governor of Texas, was
a country girl of Bell County.
Thus the two first women gov-
ernors of States in the history
of this country are native Tex-
ans.
The two governors-elect plan
to meet in San Antonio during
the Christmas holidays for a
mutual love-feast.—Ozona Stock
man.
