SHE WANTS A FAIR

hue and cry: keep San Antonio

San Antonio is in full cry on this

everyone in this part of Texas to
keep San Antonio First" flor

county are merely suburbs of the
Queen City of Southwest Texas) and
we want sto see our big town thrive.
1t seems TO me that it's been q
long time since a worlds fair and
it seems about the opportune moment
for everybody to wake out of their
Rip Van Wrinkle siesta and get busy
in staging a worlds fair for San An
tonic in the near future.
1t seems to me that the Chamber
of Commerce and Rotary Club and
every other active organization would
see it to the interests of the town
and this part of the state to start
something along this line. There are
so many places of interest in and
near San Antonio to see, and so many
who have never seen them that / think

San Antonio was not only a good

THE HANGING WAS NEWS.

To The Editor:
/ do not understand why some are
so Infatuated over the publicity given
in the papers to the hanging of the
man, Apolinar. / think that most
of us are interested in the news and
i do not think that the fact that
the man was of Mexican blood should
be dwelt upon. Not all Mexicans are
brutes and not all brutes are Mexi-
cans. There were those who honestly
believed that the man was insane and
whether he was or not, with all due
sympathy for the family Of the victim
of his crime, why should those who
write letters rail against the news
papers? The man died bravely and
let us hope penitcnt. The Bible tells
us that Saul. before he became Paul,
put to death many innocent Christ
ians. Yet he lived to repent and to
show the way of life to many others.
We know that God forgives. and are
We not law breakers in spirit when
we defend the mob who breaks our

She fell. She was as enthused rs

There's magic in the movies. The
magic of youth. They touch old
hearts and make them young. Mrs.
Curran thought her career had ended
20 years ago, she had faced an audi
ence for the last time.
Now at so she is featured in "The
Dream Mother" and Mother of
Mine" She has what thousands of
young girls just starting out in life
would give their all to have, a con-
tract to act in the movies.
Eighty-and time to die?
No! Eighty and time to start TO

Let's ask Mrs. Ruby Lafayette
Curran about that.
1t Is not possible for one reviewer
to see all the feature photoplays made
and still find time to write about
them. Consequently. this reviewer
arranges to see the pictures in which
he feels the public will be most in
terested. or which fror the nature of
their stories, casts and direction seem
most worthy of consideration. Thus
it often occurs that a mediocre film.
such as "The White Flower" is the
object OF a critical attack while an
even less worthy film escapes I'M

such, evil is bound to enter the mind

Proposed NV srnoGl Building
For Edinburo and Madison
District


| Several days ago some of our lead
ing citizens issued call fer Mass
Meeting in the town hall Edinburg, Va.
called for February 22nd, 1928 Wash
ington's Birthday
The purpose of the call was to start
tentative plans for raising funds for
the erection of a new school building.
Owing to the unusual amount df sick
ness prevailing throughout the district
there was only small attendance, but
what the meeting lacked in attendance
and number it fully made up in enthu-
siam The school needs were fully
discussed and every one present was
unanimous in the opinion that new
school building was urgently needed.
The present structure was built in
1876, forty-seven years ago is Of
frame construction and has out lived
| its usefulness, is badly in need of re-
pairs. The heating arrangement is very
unsatisfactory, it being heated by eight
or nine large stoves, which increase
the fire hazard not little, besides
they do not heat the rooms completely
and some of the pupils are compelled
to sit in the cold while others sitting
near the stoves are overheated. The
sanitary conditions are intolerable and
are disgrace to the fair name of our
little village which is clean and sanitary
in every other way.
Prof. ReidelI the Principal, inform
ed the meeting that unless something
was done to relieve the situation and
to improve the general condition of the
school it would no longer be possible
for us to maintain as an accredited |
school by the State Board of Education. |
The meeting was then called to order
and the Madison District School Build |
ing Association was formed, with the |
following duly elected officers; George
w. Ring, Pres, DR.. F. C. Downey,
Vice Pres, E. R. Reidell, Secretary,
John Saum, Assistant Secretary and j.
C. Hutchinson, Treasurer. The follow
ing committees were appointed from
the chair: Committee on Location off
Building Site; Committee for soliciting
Funds; Committee on Publicity.
During the meeting several citizens,
unsolicited made donations
aggregating about 100000.
Another meeting will be called in
the near future and it is urgently re
quested that all turn out and help
boost this most worthy undertaking
one that means so much to our town
and district.
Think of your dear children housed
up for six hours dayin an unsanitaryI
poorly heated building, constantly in
danger of being in this antiquated fire
trap, and when one of the solicitors
call on you at your home for aid in
this worthy cause, give until it hurts.
Unless you do this you will not be
your duty and the obligation
you owe to your children.
Cooperation on the part of every one
in Madison District is desired and in
vited, and we trust the entire commun-
ity will lend their aid in assisting this
great and glorious undertaking.

Chiropractic===Trials and Triumphs.

The progress of chiropractic has been
hampered by difficulties not easy to
overcome. How great these obstacles
have been is not generally known The
purpose of this article is to point out
some of these handicaps and to state TO
what extent they have been overcome.
In its battle for legal recognition
chiropractic has been stubbornly op
posed by various state and national or
carnations which have taxed their in
genuity in an attempt to throttle the
movement in its infancy. Prosecution
and propaganda have been the weap-
ons chiefly relied upon to deal the
death blow to chiropractice In the
face of organized and grimly deter
mined resistance chiropractice never
theless has won its battles in twenty
two states, where the professions is
now licensed by statute.
Not the least of obstacles to be sur
mounted in the past was the hostile
attitude of the press. In their opp0si-
ton to chiropractic many newspapers
spoke openly some were silent. One
prominent Chicago newspaper refused
even to allow the word "chiropIatic'
to appear in its columns. But the
rapid growth of chiropratic since the
epidemic of influenza in 1718 has
led many newspapers to investigate
merits of this new science of health.
As result of such investigation the
press has become more liberal. Such
I, newspapers as the Chicago journal
New York American, and New Yorl
World have found ehir0practic claim:
