Hammer or AnDiI?

Parable by Deacon Bert Walker:
Every old country blacksmith shop
Is strewn with old hammers that have
been battered to pieces in the days
gone by and cast into the discard.
But you will notice the old anvil

business at the old stand"-Kansas

lay In the windrow His labor cost

There is tendency among the
students of the high school to whis-
per among themselves in the assem-
bly,, and otherwise raise a disturb
ance. This is a very bad habit to ac-
quire, because it will result in a
ninth period and consequently low
department.
There is one rule of the high
school that if student has an aver
age of ninety in any subject, he is
eligible to exemption from the semes-
ter test in that subject. It also re-
quires an average of ninety in de-
pertinent for exemption.
Last year a number of the pupils
were disappointed in not being ex-
empted merely because they had a
low mark in department. Why not
reduce that number by keeping up
our department?

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
The Thoroughbreds of Fire Valley
(By Norris Phelps)

/
Dawn was breaking over the des-
ert when out of the grayness trotted
a tall, rangy black stallion with sill
yer name and tail. He held his head
high and ears cooked forward as all
spirited horses do.
On his back he carried a slim man
perhaps six feet in height. He was
dressed in cowboy garb: chaps, spurs,
boots and Stetson. His features were
clean cut, curly black hair peeped
from beneath his hat. His deep
brown eyes carried smile except
when fronted by danger, then they
became two frey sparks. His chin
was square and prominent which
showed confidence and quick decisive
thinking. At his hips hung two Colt
forty-fiyes.
He was travelling as if he had a
definite destination.
His horse slowed down to a walk,
and soon came to the top of a deep
draw where the sun in its cleaning
radiance splashed the country in
many different colors, silhouetting
horse and rider against the sky.
Get along Silver" he commented,
and taking the ridge, touched spurs
to the horse who broke into slow
swinging lope that ate up the miles
with a rapidity that was startling
but still did not seem to tire the
stallion.
In the distance rose the peaks of
sage covered hills towards which he
was headed
About noon the rider and Silver
stopped for a rest on the banks of
Bronco Creek which in reality is
river.
While pulling the saddle from Sill
ver's back an envelope dropped from
his pocket and fell to the ground,
the name and address read: Tim Las,
Red Butte, Texas.
