SURPRISE PARTY
GIVEN CAMPBELLS
BY OFFICE FORCE

Judge Campbell, will you and Mrs.
Campbell come out here a few min
utes?"
An employe Of the county tax as
SCISSORS office addressed the request to
X. Neil Campbell, who, with his wife,
was in an inner office.
Certainly" Mr.. Campbell replied.
But the tax collector and his wife
stopped short in astonishment rs they
stood in the door leading to the main
office.
Its furniture had been completely re-
arranged. Desks were pushed against
the walls and in the middle of the big
room was a long table, around which
enough chairs for the entire office
force were grouped. In the middle Of
the table was a large cake, and the
greeting:
Congratulations on your twenty
third wedding anniversary"
A basket filled with large chrysan-
themums was presented to the couple
by the office employees at the conclu-
sion of the party.
1T was complete SURPRISE" Judge
Campbell said

working fathers this winter, for
daughters watch at midnight will
alarm the lingering shcik into making
his departure ere the wee small hours
are proclaimed to irate parents.
And dogs can keep up-to-the-minute
now, since they have watches of their
own. Poodles will very probably be
stepping out in narcotics.
There will be one inconvenient thing
about the dog-watch, however. When
the family wants the time they will
have to hunt Fido.
"what time have you, my DEAR" the
caller will inquire.
81 haven't any time" the hostess
will sadly reply.
NO time? Horrors! Why?'
"Fido is in the dog pound" the
hostess will confess.
1t will be hard to keep up with the
time.
"Hey, Nom, I can't ketch Fido, "
the little boy will weep, ''an' L been
late so much at school that they call
me a stenographer."

wife may pick from for her daily
menu, despite the fact the calendar
says winter is approaching.
This wide variety of green stuff
perhaps wishes the worst job on the
restaurant man.
TOURISTS ASTONISHED.
Winter tourists spending the cold
months in San Antonio come in to eat,
and after looking over the menu, de-
mand TO know what is ready for the
table now, not what was on hand last
spring.
Then. according to ]. c. Baker.
who operates n restaurant on Broad
way, it's necessary to explain to the
customers that the Rio Grande VAL
ley stands just outside San Antonio's
door, and that in this section any,
thing but suowballs and lava will
grow all winter long.
The customers are taken aback by
this explanation and order their meals
in profusion.
MOVEMENT GROWS.
With the fresh winter vegetable
movement growing daily. the tourists
can expect TO get fat this winter.
Local produce dealers report that
Texas will continue to produce an
abundant supply of green vegetables
for San Antonio unless weather OBJ
servers decide to move the North Pole
to a more central location in Amer
lea.
Among vegetables which haven't
reached the market yet are cabbage
and cauliflower.
These will be here within the next
two or three weeks.
San Antonio also is eating Texas
oranges and grapefruit for breakfast.

LEARN "TOUCH SYSTEM"
And it's the touch system" that is
being learned by the dozen girls and
boys who type out words to the har-

the students are not permitted to
look where their hands may stray.
Little fingers on each hand are the
guides to the alphabet keys of the ma
chine. Attention must be focused on

Beginners are first taught the posi-
ton of the letter keys on the key
board and how to place their hands
and guide fingers. Next they begin
their first lesson to some slow air
played on the photograph.
After they have learned to write at
n speed of 20 simple words a minute,
with only five errors, they are ad-
