BADGERS TO PLAY GATESVILLE
The items appearing under this
Reading are written and furnished
The Leader by pupils -of the Lam-
pasas High School, and the paper is
in no way responsible for these news
items.
CHORAL CLUB HOLDS
FIRST REHEARSAL
The Choral Club had its first re-
hearsal Monday afternoon. This club
is progressing nicely under the di-
rection of Miss Marrs, and it will
not be long before they are ready to
be presented to the school.
The Choral Club adds much to the
interest of the school and it is going
to be one of the outstanding factors
I in the school’s entertainment this
year.
The Badgers will meet their third
opponents Saturday afternoon at 2:45
o’clock on the opponent’s gridiron.
This game is not a conference tilt.
Coach Moore has his Badgers in ex-
cellent condition for this game. The
local fans as well as Coach Moore
are expecting the Badgers to play
an excellent game against the Gates-
ville Hornets. Especially are we ex-
pecting Jones, Millican and Casbeer
to romp on the line, and we are hop-
ing that Hammett will call a better
game than ever before.
The probable Badger line-up is:
Abney and Howard, ends; Williams
and Hallenbeck, tackles; Capt. Yaz-
ell and Asher, guards; Smith, center;
Casbeer and Millican, halfbacks;
Jones, fullback, and Hammett at
quarterback.

ACCIDENT
The hiking girls met at the school
Thursday afternoon for a hike to
Donovan’s Dam. The hike proved to
be very successful. After the girls
had finished their supper , some of
them decided to go (in swimming.
However, after close examination, it
was found that swimming was pro-
hibited on the dam site. Even after
this five of the unlucky girls “Acci-
dentally” fell in. Those unlucky girls
wore Ruth Dickens, Merle Cotten,
Ethel Mae Perkins, Wilma Leather-
wood and Bess Northington, who was
pulled in by foi’ce. (?)
After all the girls had a good time
and are looking forward to their
next hike.
LOYALTY
Many times we hear people say,
•‘Now, isn’t that a loyal person.” But,
do they really know what loyalty
means? The hiking club is now able
to define loyalty in a new light. Thurs-
day afternoon, just before the girls
started on their weekly hike, Merle
Cotten, driving her Chevrolet, turned
the corner of Western Avenue and
Third street without observing the
stop signal. Uncle Buck blew his
whistle and she stopped. She was
prepared to go to jail in order that
the seven girls with her would not
have to pay the fine, but Uncle Buck,
the students’ friend, listened to rea-
son and Merle didn’t have to go to
jail. Now, isn’t that loyalty? We
hikers think so.
IDEAL ALL-ROUND PERSON
Thursday morning, October 8, Bro.
Avant brought a very interesting as
well as a very inspiring talk to the
student body. He discussed the things
that make up a good all-round per-
son. They are summed up as fol-
lows: Be clean in your morals, be
honest, humble, friendly, thorough and
last of all, have a respect for the
Higher Power of God. He then quot-
ed the 1st Psalm from the Bible.
The students enjoyed this talk very
much and hope they will be given
many more talks as interesting and
uplifting.
Mr. Stanley C. Walker, son of Mr.
Walter Walker of Unity, and grad-
uate of Lampasas high school re-
ceived a write up in “Time,” a week-
ly news magazine. This magazine
carries his picture and says that there
are three Walkers who are known in
New York, Jimmy, the mayor, John-
ny and Stanley.
Mr. "Walker was the editor in 1915
of the first annual ever published by
Lampasas high school, “The Sasa
Lamp.” He is now city editor of
the. New York “Herald Tribune.”
Tuesday morning, Oct. 6, the Sen-
iors met for the purpose of select-
ing a ring and invitation. There were
about 15 invitations to select from.
The one receiving the majority of
votes was very attractive. The ring
selected was very representative, too.
It is to have L. H. S. on it, a Badger
on each side, and Lampasas High
School all the way around the ring.
The Seniors had their finger measure-
ments taken after the/noon hour. The
rings are expected to be ready for
them in about 6 weeks. The rings
are to come from the same company
they came from last year.
FOOTBALL ORGANIZED
Freshman class met Tuesday and
organized a football. team with Von-
ceil Greeson, Captain. A pep squad
was formed with Dorothy Dell Rawls,
Mary Kathryn Walker and Kathryn
Gartman, yell leaders. There were
sixteen boys out for the team.
BUSINESS ARITHMETIC
KEEP BOOSTING
If all the days were like the Fri-
day afternoon before the Badgers
downed Lometa, it would be no won-
der why teachers turn gray. Every-
one was excited and school was dis-
missed at 3 o’clock. The game was
very interesting and the Pep Squad,
with their mascot, little Miss Carol
Jean Moore, put the boys in high
spirit. The game drew about 120
students, besides other fans, to wit-
ness the Badgers for the first time of
the ’31 season on the home field. The
boys appreciated the support as way
be seen from the score, 24 to 0. Let’s
keep boosting.
COMMITTEE’S REPORT
The two committees appointed at
the last sophomore class meeting
were one to choose class colors and
flower and one to choose the motto.
Those on the committee to choose the
colors and flower are: Lurline Creek-
more, Ozie Yazell and Eva Louise
Young. The committee to select a
motto is composed of Tommy Ged-
des, Murray Laudermilk and Bud
Waggoner. Old rose and gold were
selected as the colors and the sweet
pea is the flower chosen. The motto
is “Climb though the rocks be rug-
ged.”

This article was written by a smart
person. ? ? ? ?
The business arithmetic class is
continually having thrills. The stu-
dents are wondering, “Is this a snap
course?” Tell cne that it is and see
if he agrees. Maybe you had better
just stay quiet—most of them are
football players “with a brawny
muscle.”
INFORMATION WANTED
Wq would like to know why the
names “Shifty Aggie” and “Captain
Mary” have recently been applied to
J. V. Hammett and T. J. Casbeer.
Any information on this subject will
be appreciated.
What if Lowell were a Plumber
instead of a Carpenter?
What if James were a lock instead
of a Key?
If Emma were Red instead of
Brown ?
If Tilford were Potatoes instead of
Beans ?
If W. A. were Nut instead of a
Berry ?
If Sam and Opal were Livers in-
stead of Harts?
If Susie and Daniel were Fish
instead of Birds ?
If Jessie were a Bright instead of
a Sapp?
If the Pincipal were a Circle Stump
instead of a Rowntree?
If there were less of the coach
instead of Moore?
PRIZES AWARDED
We have a group of swell singers
in the Choral club. Hear ye them!
The students are thankful that the
clock in the office is fixed. The clock
has been out of order for some time
but is now in good condition, we hope.
“I’m certainly getting a lot out
of this course,” explained the bio-
logy student as he walked home with
five dollars worth of laboratory
equipment.
Mr. Frank Baker announced Friday
in chapel that Harold Dee Thomas
had won first prize in Fire Theme
contest. He received $2.50 in cash,

Mr. Baker complimented these themes
and posters very highly and said he
had never seen a better poster than
the one handed in this year.
Friday morning, Miss Marrs, pre-
sented the girls’ choral club for the
first time before the student body.
Their number, “Blue Danube,” was
much enjoyed and the girls appear
unusually well to have had so little
time to practice.
The pep squad leaders then took
charge of the meeting and gave a
few yells to send the boys off in
high spirits to the Gatesville game.
Here’s the latest, boys,! Use Palm-
olive soap for “that school girl com-
plexion.” Ask A. Bird for partic-
ulars.
The Sheriff’s department arrested
N. C. Cummins on a liquor charge
Thursday and he made bond. The
officers found fifty-two pints and two
quarts of beer when they went to his
home. There were a number of empty
bottles and crocks at his home.
THAT AIN’T NOTHIN’
Lee’s son brought home a report
card and on the edge the teacher had
written, “Good student, but talks too
much.”
The card was returned with Lee’s
signature and these words, “You
should hear his mother.”
Mrs. M. H. Gosset passed away
suddenly this week at her home in
Alto, New Mexico. She is the mother
of Mrs. George LaBounty of this city
and will be remembered by many of
the Lampasas people as she made her
home here for a time with her daugh-
ter several years ago.
$100.00 REWARD
I will give the above reward to
anyone who will produce the proof
that I have hauled livestock out of any
quarantined pasture. I hauled a load
of cattle out of Burnet county, with
permission of livestock inspector, 90
acres being in Lampasas county and
250 acres in Burnet, all in same place,
at Bud Bierbower place, 4 miles from
Oakalla.—E. T. Cantrell, Kempner,
Texas. • (wp)
PIERIAN CLUB NOTES
With Mrs. Robert Young as hostess
twenty members of the Pierian club
assembled Friday afternoon. Rol’k
call—an outstanding woman charac-
ter of the Bible and why? was very
instructive, since each member had
been assigned a different woman to
characterize. The practical women of
Bible history were no more common
than the more intellectual types; and
even then women exercised their in-
dependence as was the case with
Vhasti.
During the business session, Mrs.
J. F. Gilbert was' unanimously elected
as delegate to the state federation
meeting to be held in Lubbock this
year.
Mrs. W. A. Berry gave an inter-
esting paper on “Poetesses in the
Bible.” Four outstanding ones were
mentioned from the old Testament,
namely: Miriam, Huldah, Deborah and
Hannah. Mary, the mother of Christ,
was the poetess of note mentioned
from the new Testament.
Mrs. J. D. Jackson, who was leader
of the Bible day program, gave a
sketch of “Jewish Contribution to
civilization.” The paper dealt with
the history of the Jews* their occu-
pations, habitations, government, etc.
History glorifies the Jews not for
inventions or processes in industry,
nor for contributions to art but for
the moral teachings of their litera-
ture. The Hebrew law has been
studied and initiated by law makers
of all nations. Mrs. Jackson cited
interesting facts concerning the Jew-
ish Talmud, which treats of civil and
criminal law, philosophy, psychology,
education, mathematics, medicine,
magic, gardening, music, astrology,
geography, etc. It is also enlivened
by fairy tales, ethical sayings and
proverbs.
A short Bible contest, which had
been cleverly arranged by Mrs. Jack-
son, concluded the program. Groups
were chosen as for an old fashioned
spelling match and questions con-
cerning the women characters of the
Bible were used. This splendid pro-
gram will prevent “rusting” on the
part of the members.
After the meeting was adjourned,
the hostess served delicious ice cream
and cake.
Mesdames J. C. Smith, Herbert Ab-
ney, Ed Young, Beulah Lockhart and
H. C. Cockrell were
ors.—Reporter.

CONGRESSMAN SAYS
FIRE 4,000 OFFICERS
OF NO USE TO ARMY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—Repre-
sentative Collins insists the Army al-
ready has more officers “than we
lenow what to do with,” so he wants
to get rid of 4,000 of them as part of
his program to cut War Department
appropriations $50,000,000.
Estimating that retirement of the
4,000 would save $30,000,000 annually,
the Mississippi Democrat said today
he would propose also that the new
Congress save the other $20,000,000
by:
Replacing artillery horses by ma-
chines; abolishing the reserve officers
training corps in elementary and high
schools; abandoning the National
board for promotion of rifle practice.
SAUNDERS TO HEAD

pecans and avoid prosecution, for we

CONSOLIDATION OF COUNTIES

FICTITIOUS CHARITY
Bonham Favorite.
How often do we have in Texas
examples of violating of law by
shows or carnivals or other amuse-
ment organizations which seek profit
while attempting to hide their un-
lawful acts under the guise of some
public charity! How often has the
city of Bonham been cheated of its
lawful due by carnivals or shows
which have escaped just taxation by
getting some local body to sponsor
their exhibition because it promised
a part of its receipts to said local
body as a charitable gift! And how
little does the local body usually get!
Farm and Ranch.
Interest is growing in the sugges-
tion leading to the consolidation of
large city governments with that of
the county in which they are sit-
uated. People are growing tired of
paying for duplicate governments;
they are tired of paying taxes in two
or three different places when one
could handle the business. The econ-
omy of one government appeals to
them, and there is good reason to be-
lieve that in the larger city counties
of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and
Louisiana consolidations will be made-
effective within a few years.
Not very many years ago it con-
sumed most of the day for a citizen
to drive fifteen miles to do business
at the county seat. Small counties
were an advantage. Because paved
highways and automobiles were un-
heard of, ideas of standard counties
became fixed at approximate areas of
900 to 1,000 square miles. Today
every State in the Union has more
county governments than are needed.
In Texas where there are 254 organiz-
ed counties, the number should be re-
duced to 150 or less. Over in North-
east Texas we have Franklin, Titus,
Camp and Morris counties, four coun-
ty governments in an area of 1,153
square miles. Each county has a full
staff of officers paid out of the taxes
collected from the people. Eleven
"welcome" visit- hundred and fifty-three square miles
| make just an ordinary-sized county.
I Another county or two could be ad-
ded without decreasing governmen-
tal efficiency, and at a cost not very
much greater than that of a single
county.
Of course, this suggestion of coun-
ty consolidation in the interest of ef-
ficiency and economy will not be ac-
cepted with wild and unrestrained
enthusiasm by officeholders and poli-
ticians, and of course present county
seat towns will want to sport a court
house as they do now, but taxpayers
ought to be for it. If the suggestion
contains merit, it should be given con-
sideration before all of the present-
day county seat all manage to build
$500,000 court houses. It will be
pretty hard to find adequate use for
some of them after some of the coun-
ty lines are erased from the map.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. 11.—<
Ending its seventeenth annual re-
union Saturday, the Old Trail Drivers’
Association of Texas sre-elected as
president George W. Saunders. James
Van Riper, also of San Antonio, was
named secretary-treasurer to succeed
R. F. Jennings, who became first vice
president. Several other vice presi-
dents were chosen and the Rev. Bruce
Roberts was renamed chaplain.
Plans to mark the old Texas cattle
trails to Northern markets was a topic
Saturday. It was pointed out that,
reports to the contrary, the. famous
Chisholm trail did not enter Texas,
but extended from Abilene, Kan., to
Red River station on the border.
Among speakers was the Rev. P. B.
Hill, assistant chaplain of the old
trailers, who decried pacifism. The
Rev. Mr. Hill, who holds a ranger
Captain’s commission, said to the pio-
neers: “I read recently of some hun-
dred clergymen signing a resolution
that they would never follow the Uni-
ted States to war. Well, I say, I
would be one of the first to enter
such a war. What we need is the
fighting spirit of the trail drivers.”
The Rev. Mr. Hill is pastor of the
First Presbyterian church here.
REFERENDUM ASKED
FOR CHIROPRACTORS
(Dallas News)
The chiropractors of Texas will
have to get the support of the people
rather than of the politicians before
they can have legislative establish-
ment of an examining board which
will legalize and standardize their
profession, Dr. Hardy Gallaher ofj
Oklahoma City, secretary of the In-
ternational Chiropractic Congress,
told members of the Texas Chiroprac-
tic Association in its sixteenth an-
nual session Sunday at the Jefferson
Hotel.
Dr. Gallaher pointed out that such
a board, manned exclusively by chi-
ropractic examiners, was established
in Oklahoma City after a popular ref-
erendum. Dr. Gallaher has been a
member of this board for ten years.
Dr. Willard Carver of Oklahoma
City and Dr. A. W. Canfil of Sweet-
water also spoke.
Officers were installed by Dr. C. W.
Billings of (Dallas. They are Dr.
C. J. McCollum, Floydada, president;
Dr. W. L. Johnson, Greenville, vice
president, and Dr. Clyde M. Keeler,
Dallas, secretary-treasurer.
About 300 members attended dele-
gations attending coming from Sweet-
water, Fort Worth, Oklahoma City,
San Antonio, Childress, Waco, Beau-
mont, Breekenridge, Greenville, Wich-
ita Falls and Houston.
Several students were telephoned
Monday night by some more students,
who think they have a joke on those
they telephoned, but do they? We
have heard that, “A joke is a one-
sided affair without a return.”

Adults Contract Children’s
Diseases
Adults can, and do, contract many
children’s diseases. And, usually, they
suffer from them much more than
children do. For instance, many adults
contract worms, an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expen-
sive medical treatments, without reali-
zing that worms are the cause of their
troubles. Yet, the symptoms are the
6ame as in children, los3 of appetite
and weight, grinding the teeth and rest-
less sleep, itching of the nose and anus;
and abdominal pains. And, the same
medicine that surely and harmlessly ex-
pels round and pin worms from children
will do the same for adults — White’s
Cream Vermifuge, which you can get ah
The Lion Drug Store, Lampasas
Smith’s Drug Store, Lometa, Texas
