CARD or APPRECIATION
FROM J. w. ROSS & FAMILY

With my heart Overlooking with
gratitude, | want my friends and
the public to know that my son Is
now practically well. On March
9th, be- was taken 20 the Lubbock
Sanitarium IN a very critical con-
dition with appendicitis. His appen-
dix had already ruptured. When
he was taken back TO his room, he
was so weak that it looked as If
he could not live but a few minutes.
But for the efforts Of DR.. Kruger,
my boy would not be alive today.
He kept working with him, and in
jected some medicine directly into
his veins, and my boy began to inn
prove. Owing to his weakened
condition he developed pneumonia,
but DR.. Krueger's skill has over
come that, and my boy will soon De
home again, entirely well. want
all my friends and the public TO
know what a great place the Lub-
book Sanitarium is, and what Won
dcrful work the doctors and nurses
are doing there. Since my son has
been sick, a little twelve year old
girl was brought TO the sanitarlum
with a very bad case Of appendicitis.
She had been treated by some rub
bling doctors till she was nearly
dead, but her life has been saved
Just like my sons life was saved.
This little girl is just one Of many,
! have seen in the sanitarium. |
will never cease 10 be thankful that
Lubbock has such a place as the
fubbock Sanitarium.

"a Fairy Story For all.

IA airy otoIy iOi am
With society reduced to its low
est ebb during the Lenten season,
our thoughts naturely drift to the
out doors and things of Nature. The
lure of spring is in the air, the plum
blossoms mingling with the soft tint
Of the peach and apple blossoms,
the touches Of vivid green popping
from out the earth, and the gentle
April showers all remind US that
spring has come.
Already we have visions of dane
ing children around the May poles,
May Queens and the parade of the
Easter festivities, which are IN
store for US, and lest we forget
the new Easter bonnet-let me tell
you how the first one ever hap
pened and who wore tits a
fairy story, and if you are not in
terested in fairy stories, read II to

JOY it,
Once upon a time, long, long ago,
when all the animals lived together
in friendly fashion in the sunshine
and shadow forest, little Lady Bun
nv Rabbit didn't have long ears.
No. she didn't. Her ears were
about the size Of Miss Pussy Kitty
little short ones, only Lady Bun
ny Rabbits ears didn't stick up in
the air like Miss Pussy kitty's-
they flopped over closer to her head
Just like Mr. Bow wo's ears. or
course with ears like that Lady
Bunny Rabbit couldn't hear very
well, and if she couldn't hear very
well she often made silly answers
to her animal friends when they
were talking to her.
One day it happened to be the
Saturday before Easter. Sunday,
little Bunny Rabbit was munching
chrisp leaves in front Of her yard
and along came Miss Pussy Kitty.
Good morning little Lady Bunny
Rabbit" She called, How are You
this morning.
"No thank you, not yet, little
Lady Bunny Rabbit replied. Miss
Pussy Kitty stopped and started at
her. asked you how are you this
morning. she repeated distinctly.
And | said: mo, thank you, not yet,
little Lady Bunny Rabbit, said
with dignity. 81 haven't finished
my breakfast yet.
Miss Pussy Kitty walked up to
little Miss Lady Bunny Rabbit and
lifted the flap Of one ear up. Il
asked you how you we're this morn
ing?" she shouted.
ooh" little Lady Bunny Rabbit
smiled fooishly, u thought you
said. Wont you 90 walking! ]
am fine thank you. Miss Pussy
Kitty walked on waving her tail
in the air. Soon along came Mr..
Bow WOW. and saw Miss Bunny Rab-
bit munching her leaves, happlly.
"Hellor said Mr.. Bow WOW. What
are you eating?" Fine, thank you"

said little Lady Bunny Rabbit, quick
ly How are you feelingl
II didn't ask you how you we're
feeling, | asked what were you
eating?' said Br. Bow Wow Fine
think you" little Lady Bunny Rab-
bit said again. Mr.. Bow Wow toss
ed his head and looked at her, and
then lifted up one of the flaps Of
her ears and barked at her in a
loud voice: What's that your
eating?" "Ohw said Bunny Rab-
bit, Excuse me, though you said
how do you feel" Hump said
Mr. Bow Wow, and then walked off.
In few minutes along came
Miss Reindeer and stopped to. chat
with Miss Lady Bunny Rabbi
for this was friendly forest.
Good morning" Miss Reindeer
said, Going to the circus
Lettuce leaves" answered lit.le
Lady Rabbit sweetly.
Miss Reindeer looked at Bunny
Rabbit with pity in her soft brown
eyes, then she said louder. mo, no,
dearie, | didn't ask you what you
were eating, ! asked you IL you
were going to the circus today?"
Little Lady Rabbit listened so
hard, and said: Going 70 whip US.
Who? and what for?"
Then Miss Reindeer lifted up the
flaps Of her tiny wee ears and said;
Going to the circus today
II am so sorry, but my ears are
so tiny didn't hear what you
said at first" said Bunny Rabbit,
as Miss Reindeer hurried on her way.
ooh, me, o, MY ! wish my ears
were just ten times as big and stood
straight up in the air." signed Bum
ny Rabbit.
Miss Wish Fairy popped cut from
under a big lettuce leaf and said:
"You wish for big ears, SO that you
can hear, Bunny Rabbit" Well
you shall have your wish, and she
waved her magic wand, and behold
little Bunny Rabbits ears-flaps

they grasp at any opportunity that
seems to offer way out.

them during every step and to-

them while they were learning the

How They Sarted.
Norma and Constance started in
New York. l remember Norma and
l discussed her career and sug-
gestad pictures. She liked the idea
and together we went to the old
Vitagraph studio where she got her
first job at S25 q week.
81 went with her every day and
knew just how she was getting
along. Constance just naturally
drifted in after Norma did. She was
funny and awkward at first Ma
ta1ie tried a few parts, but did not
care for the work at all.
Norma is the wife of Joseph NJ.
Schenck, motion picture producer.
Constance off the screen is Mrs.
John Pialoglou, wife of a wealthy
tobacco importer. Natalie is mar
ried to Buster Keaton, the film com
