KEMPNER SCHOOL TRUSTEE
SUIT IS COMPROMISED
which was raised to send the boys to . of Copperas Cove; Mrs. Victor Boren
Washington. Two or three plans have
been suggested but nothing definite
has been decided upon. If the sug-
gested plan for a trip to some other
part of the United States is decided
upon, it will have to be made in a
very short time, because the ma-
jority of the public schools will be
opened in about three weeks.
It seems that some trip should be
worked out for the scouts who were
selected to go to Washington. The
cancellation of that trip was a bitter
disappointment to all of them, and
they deserve some compensation.

LAMPASAS SCHOOL OPENS
SEPTEMBER 9TH
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Thur-
man Sewell, near Kempner, was des-
troyed by fire Sunday at the noon
time. Mrs. Sewell was cooking din-
ner and the fire started on the roof
of the kitchen and it was falling
down on the ceiling before it was
noticed. They were living on the Doc
Tedder place. Some furniture was
saved from the house, but practically
everything in the kitchen was lost
and Mrs. Sewell had over 300 cans
of fi’uits, vegetables and meats which
were lost in the fire. The house was
a total loss.
HEN LAYS TWO
EGGS IN ONE NIGHT
IS. SHOOK DAVIS INJURED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Irs. Shook Davis was painfully
lised and possibly internally in-
as the result of an automobile
[ident Sunday afternoon.
Ir. and Mrs. Davis and Mr. and
is. Clyde Walker ’ were returning
Im the A. L. Higdon farm with a
pup of several cars when another
driven by Joe Maund, came in
Im a side road and the two cars
lided. The Davis car was dam-
pd considerably but was still able
Irun all right. The extent of the
lage to the other car is not
pwn. None of the other occupants
I the two cars were injured.
)r. H. R. Buchanan, Bedel O’Hair,
lans O’Hair and Millie Boden-
ler spent the week end fishing in
Colorado river at Marble Falls.
Ir. and Mrs. George Boswell and
le son left Sunday for a few days
[it in Dallas with relatives.
We have heard stories of hens lay-
ing two eggs in one day but Ray
Dodds told us one this morning about
a hen that laid two eggs in one night.
Someone brought a hen to the Sewell
Grocery and Produce Saturday after-
noon and Mr. Sewell put her in a
coop about the middle of the after-
noon. When he came down early
next morning there were two eggs in
the coop.
If you want to verify that, you’ll
have to see Mr. Dodds or Mr. Sew-
ell. Perhaps you are wondering the
same thing we ai’e: If a hen lays two
eggs in one night, there’s no telling
how many she might lay in a day.
MR. AND MRS. A. L. HIGDON

Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Higdon enter-

CHAPTER OF RESERVE
OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
TO BE ORGANIZED
An effort is being made to organize
a chapter of the Reserve Officers’ As-
sociation in this district. All re-
serve officers in Lampasas, Burnet,
Llano and part of Williamson county
are eligible for membership and are
urged to affiliate as charter mem-
bers. The Resei-ve Officers’ Associa-
tion is a separate organization from
the Army of the United States and
is entirely independent therefrom.
The principle of the organization
is, briefly, to support and assist in
the development and execution of a
militai’y policy for the United States
whicli shall provide adequate Nation-
al defense. The association believes
this to be the surest and most eco-
nomical insurance against future
wars, to be essential to the prestige
of our country, and necessary to fur-
ther our world policies and interests.
In consideration of the political and
economical class of the world today
it is the duty of every reserve officer
to his country and to himself to take
all available means of being and re-
maining efficient and to facilitate
promotion.
Reserve Officers’ Association chap-
ters hold meetings twice a month at
which time lectures are given, follow-
ed by discussion. For attendance the
army allows two hours credit, which
is applied on the 200 hours requir-
ed for promotion.
All reserve officers in Lampasas,
Burnet, Llano and the western part
of Williamson county are urged to
write Lt. John A. Riddick, CW, Res.,
Burnet, Texas. He will notify you
as soon as organization proceedings
have progressed to such an extent
that a preliminary meeting is neces-
sary for the election of officers and
application made for a charter.
A special session of the district
court was called for Teusddy morn-
ing to try the Kempner school trus-
tee case. Just about the time the
court was ready to proceed, all wit-
nesses being present, the principals
reported that a compromise had been
agreed upon. It was decided that the
County School Board should be al-
lowed to appoint a trustee to .fill the
vacancy on the Kempner School
Board, and that the appointee should
not be either of the two principals in-
volved in the suit.
When the trustee election was held
some time ago, one of the two can-
didates won by a majority of only
one vote. It was proven that there
wais one illegal vote cast on the win-
ning ticket, thus leaving the two
candidates with an equal number of
votes. A second election was held
with the same result. The two groups
could not reach a compromise, so the
LOCAL MEN RETURN FROM
FISHING TRIP TO MEXICO
John Matthews, Frankie Lowe, Tom
Moore, W. T. Moore and Tad Parsons
returned Tuesday night from a three-
day fishing trip to Don Martin Lake
in Old Mexico. They are telling some
big fish stories but, contrary to the
general rule, they have ample evi-
dence to back up their stories.
They brought back about eight fish,
each of them weighing over 30 pounds.
John Matthews was the hero of the
trip, catching two fish that weighed
approximately 40 pounds each. All
CITY WILL ENFORCE
TRAFFIC ORDINANCES
We are informed that the city wili
see that the traffic ordinances are
observed—or else. City Marshal Field
states that he does not want to im-
pose a fine on anyone, but it is his
instruction to see that the city traf-
fic ordinances are observed and if ifc
takes fines to get results—fines it
will be.
There are stop signals along the
intersections of Grand Avenue and
they are not causing the people to
even hesitate, much less stop. There
of their fish were caught with a rod are stop signals in the business part
and reel, no trot lines being used
This group left their fishing place
about 9 or 10 o’clock Tuesday morn-
ing and reached home about 2:30
o’clock Wednesday morning, stopping
an hour or two at various places
along the way. The other group of
11 fishermen were supposed to start
back soon after lunch Tuesday but
so far nothing has been heard from
case was brought into the district j them. It is said that if you get
court, and was finally settled Tues-
day morning.
Teachers for the coming session
of school have not been selected yet,
but will probably be decided upon as
soon as the county school board ap-
points the third member of the
board of trustees.
LIONS MET TUESDAY
FOR LUNCHEON
The Lions Club met Tuesday in the
Methodist Church annex for their
regular luncheon. Several plans were
discussed for the betterment of the
club and some of these will probably
be carried out when the summer
slump in the attendance is overcome.
Four of the members of the club
are out of the city this Week on a
fishing trip to Mexico.
Vice president McGee presided over
the meeting in the absence of Presi-
dent Bigham. The club was glad to
have R. L. Northington as a guest
at the luncheon.
Lions Dickens, Taylor and Norris
were appointed as a committee "to
investigate and find out if there are
any boys or girls in this section who
are physically handicapped and need
assistance in attending college. There
is aid available for any students who
have ‘finished high school and are
physically handicapped but want to
enter college.
caught in a big rain at Don Martin
Lake, you’ll probably have to stay
there until it dries up again. We hope
that such a fate has not overtaken
the other group from here.

There were sixty-four relatives, 15

little characters, yet unable to find
out the names and acquaint_them-
selves with so many grown-ups, and
who will carry on our name of fu-
ture reunions. The many young
folks enjoyed boating and swimming.
When all the lunches were arrang-
ed together, it was a feast indeed, each
seeking to sample each other’s spe-
cial dish of eats. Following dinner,

joyed, raised by H. Y. Phelan of

of the city and the majority of driv-
ers do not heed them.
Some speed limit signs have been
placed along Grand Avenue and if
they are observed it would keep down
a large amount of the dust which is
almost unbearable to the people liv-
ing on that thoroughfare.
The city also has an ordinance
against following the fire truck when
it is going to a fire. This is an im-
portant ordinance which was passed’
for the protection of The firemen who
give their services to the citizenship.
Observe that along with the other
traffic ordinances or you may have a
fine to pay for your carelessness.
GINNING CERTIFICATES FOR

and presided. over the short business
session. The ladies voted to take up
“Toward a Christian America,” by
Morse, as their book study for the-
year.
The program for the afternoon was
led by Mrs. Joe Bozarth. . The musi-
cal call to worship was played by
Miss Vaughn Dane Craft. The devo-
tional study consisted of the.scripture
by Mrs. Bozarth, a song, a selection
by Mrs. Roy Walker and prayer led
by Mrs. Buckland.
The topic of study was missionary
reading. Mrs. Jack Jones gave an
interesting review of “Men and Wo-
men of Far Horizons.” A playlet,,
wherein five women were meeting to
discuss plans for a vacation and the
books they wanted to read during that
time, was enacted by Misses Hattie
Howard and Vaughn Dane Craft, and
Mesdames Lawrence Williams, Glerrra
Gamel and Ev Word. This play gave
us a good idea of several new mis-
sionary books and made us more en-
thusiastic about our reading.
Mesdames Clinton Perry and Frank
Baker served a refreshment plate of
ice cold watermelon. We were glad
to have Mesdames Jones and Weayer
as visitors.—Reporter.
