TOMORROW'S TRUSTEE ELECTION
OF Vast Importance to the Town and
Should be Seriously Considered.

Tomorrow, Saturday, four
school trustees are to be elected
to succeed L. II. Lester, Il. w.
O'Keefe, B. Frank Buie and E.
A. Uphold, whose terms expire.
The present School Board has
been in for several years and
each member of it has done eX-
cellent service for the town. Did
the outgoing members consent it
would be well enough to return
them, but this the first three
named gentlemen positively de-
cline to do. They say, and truth
fully, that in consideration Of
their long service they ought to
be relieved, for the present at
least, and that being the case it
is up to our citizens to put other
capable men in.
We all should know, do know
in fact, that the most important
thing for the commercial well be-
ing of the town is a high school
of the first class and to have one
it is absolutely necessary to Sc
cure an efficient School Board.
We have the men and must elect
them tomorrow.
Among those of our citizens
who could serve acceptably on
the School Board The News will
name the following;
Frank Smith, [. l.. Hunt, |. n.
Hicks, Sam Lotion, Cyrus Eak-
man, L. G. Conner, l. W. Mcclure
and E. w. Reynolds.
Consider this matter carefully
and then come out tomorrow and
vote for men as trustees who
you feel sure are capable and
willing to maintain the present
high standard of the Canyon City
High School.

We have to go back many years
into Texas history to parallel
anything like the weather chan
ges of this spring. And not only
is this the case on the Plains but
all over the State. Frost at Ell
Paso in April and ice at Waco
and Austin at almost the first oe
May. TO equal it the old set
tier" strains several points, it
seems to us, and goes back to
ante bellum times. Indeed, some
turn as far back as the early tif-
ties. The nearest approach The
News editor can make to it was
in the spring of 1880, about the
18th of March, place Coleman
county, when a blizzard of snow,
sleet and ice caught grass well
up, cattle and horses almost
shed off" and the leaves on the
post oak trees half grown or bet
ter. 1t was awful then in it's re-
suits, there being no feed stuff in
the country. The loss in stock,
it being then a range country,
was frightful, but we lived over
it. The damage this spring is
nothing at all compared to those
times, but we are feeling sore
over it, nevertheless.
Saturday and Sunday were
nice days, clear, cool and pleas
ant. Monday, with a cold wind
from the northeast, it clouded
up, rained a little, sleeted a little
and showed a bit and on Tuesday
morning water troughs had ice
in them a half an inch in thick
ness. However, the grass is still
growing and the damage if any
to anything else, is not percept-
ible. Tuesday was, warmer and
on Wednesday night it shower
ed again and yesterday evening
it threatened people didn't
know whether to venture out or
not, it looked so much like storm
and rain. This morning it is still
cloudy, but with stiff, cold
breeze from Iowa.
Does the animal in the picture
look like it would bite? So it is
with the rain question from out
side appearances.

There is probably no medi cine

lain's Colo, Cholera and Diar-

it is the one remedy that never

Fourth, there are in many Of our
schools men and women with the larg-
est capacity for growth who are earn
ing unusually good salaries from
which they are laying by a fund to
take care of themselves in old age.
To do this they are compelled to deny
themselves the opportunity to travel,
the time to study, the ownership Of
books and the change of scene. for
bodily rest that are essential to the
life and growth of an inspiring teach
er. How a retirement pension would
change all this and enable such men
and women to multiply their own pow
ers, stimulate and refine their asso-
