Cuban Warfare Repeat-
ed For “The Rough
Riders”
“They tried to catch us with
their bare hands," said one of the
amazed enemy of the Rouyh
Riders after the battle of Las
Guasimas.
And truly, the events before,
during and after the first baptism
of the famous regiment, as depict-
ed faithfully in “The Rough Rid-
ers” cominb to the Dorothy
Theatre Henrietta Texas, Nov. It,
4, 5 have .never been duplicated
in any war.
Picture the shouting troops
landing at Daiquiri in an enemy’s
country like a rrown of srhoolboys
on a pirnir whooping and singing
arohnd camp fires, paying as
scant attention to the dancers of
the Spanish force nearby as
though the latter were not there,
laughing and dancing and howl-
ing with triumph and glee.
After three hours of troubled
rest they arise and go forward
with the dawn seeking battle with
the foe still shrieking, throwing
off the restraint of older, wiser
soldiers,
Roosevelt rides along remark-
ing, "This looks like good deer
country”. Colonel Wood at the
head of his column, has sent out
an advance guard. In the advance
are Captain Capron and Sergeant
Hamilton Fish, those two gallant
men who gave their lives in Cuba.
“Pass the word back to keep
ailence in the ranks,” orders Col.
Wood, portrayed by Col. Fred
Lindsay. Roosevelt, impersonated
by Frank Hopper, can barely con-
ceal his anxiety to get into the
thick of the expected encounter.
Only when a sudden fire is drawn
from the enemy and a bullet splin
ters the bark of a tree three
inches from his nose does he set-
tle down to a joyous calm.
And—that’s just a glimpse of
what “The Rough Riders” holds
in store for every man, woman
and child in the world. It’s an
historical document that must be
seen!
News From
The Schools
The carnival was a grand suc-
cess from many standpoints. I
think that all the people had a
good time and the proreeds were
very satisfactory with us. We
want to tell you that we are plan-
ning on a treat for you next
Monday night. Watch for the cir
cular about this program. We need
Hixty dollars to pay for records
that we have bought for the
grades and all the school is help-
ing in this program. So you watch
for the circular and come out.
Remember that you are doing
something in this that will be
greatly apreclated by a large
number of children. We are ex-
pecting you.
We are getting a good start on
the third month of school and
some of you have not started the
Ihlld to srhool. Better wake op
and see just what time it is so
that you ran at least get a late
jiarfc Oh, that we would think of
the child as we do of other things
It has only one time to muke a
mark in the world and we do not
give it the right kind of a start
and then think that the whole
world is going wrong just be< ause
we art so little in sending the
greatest gift that God can give
you, to the evhooj at the right
time. IMease think this over and
get the child in school,
Three Week* and yoi get a
< ard telling you about th* « ondi*
tlons of Ok child- watt hind
enough to tell us something about
the other reports that went out.
Some never say anything. Well,
such is life. We ai> so selfish un-
less we did it, it was not done.
There are a number of children
that need to have their reports
looked into.
The school chaps are forking
hard x>n their school annual. Now,
this is as much to you as it is to
them. So when they come around
do not play “tight wad” until your
teeth shake. Remember that they
did not have these <hi,»gs whim
you were in school. No an 1 the
did not have th<> auto, the radio,
the airship and you nr • enjoyin '
the fruits of progress an dnot giv-
ing anything in turn toward it.
We want the school to have a
great year book. There is not any
reason if you will do as you
should and most all are doing
their part and then some. We want
to thank you for your aid and
assure you that we always count
on the faithful ones.
Remember that next Friday
night we will have a ha!' game
down at the ball court? We want
you to come. Remember Friday
night and wi want the boys to

“How best
can I trade in
my present car
for a new car?"
11 THEN you are ready to trade in
VY your present car for a new car, you
naturally want full value for your pres-
ent car. But most of all you want full
new car value.
It will therefore pay you to consider
varying trade-in allowance offers in the
light of these basic facts:
1| Your present car has only one funda-
-L mental basis of value: i.e., what the
dealer who accepts it in trade can get for
it in the used car market.
^ Your present car has seemingly
different values because competitive
dealers are bidding to sell you a new car.
^ The largest allowance offered is not
necessarily the best deal for you.
Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
A An excessive allowance may mean
W that you are paying an excessive
price for the new car in comparison with
its real value.
First judge the merits of the new car
in comparison with its price, includ-
ing all delivery and finance charges.
Then weigh any difference in allowance
offered on your present car.
/fj Remember that you are making a
yj purchase—not a sale. You are buy-
ing a new car and simply using your
present car as a credit against the new
cars purchase price.
