WALL PAPER
RETURNING TO
POPULARITY
Attractive Prints Turn At
tenti0n to Old Material for
Home Decoration
Wall paper is returning to popu.

Wall paper is returning to popu-
larity.
Even the casual visitor to the we'll
equipped decorating firm learns that
these days.
Another thing he learns is that the
decorator must have world of pa
thence and q well-developed, though
carefully suppressed sense Of humor.
Decorators have many impulses to
chuckle during the course Of their
days work-or they would have if
it weren't for the feeling Of SYM
patty with their customers winch
knowledge Of their business brings.
To the ordinary homebuilder the
selection of paint is one of his most
vexing questions. The question, in
the case of the Demonstration Home,
was not what quality but what color.
The best quality is always advisable,
in paint as in other materials. The
paint used in the Demonstration
Home is Jewel Brand and was sold
by the Bismarck Paint and Glass
company.
The reason why color becomes 4
troublesome question is there are 50
many beautiful colors and shades
from which to choose and the pur.
chaser can't use them all. It re-
quires some patience and . sense Of
humor on the part Of the decorator
a. he watches people struggle with
the mighty question Of what color
they shall use in particular room
The tendency toward bright and
CHEEKY colors, which has developed
by leaps and bounds during the last
year, Is responsible for the return
Of wall paper - = material for ii
terror decoration. Although. no wal

Garfield School
to Open Monday

Garfield Consolidated school will
open again Monday after . recess
of three weeks. The schoolhouse
burned down November 26.
Although the frame part Of the
building was entirely destroyed, the
8 foot basement was only partially
harmed by the fire, and the school
board has had this cleaned and re-
decorated. A roof has been placed
over the structure and it has been
divided into classrooms.
The building will be used as it is
until the end Of the present school

the cost of home construction by per-
hitting the work to 60 on winter and

Water District
AT San Benito
Against Change

SAN BENITo, Feb. fluctuations
are that the San Benito irrigation
district will not change to . con-
troll and conservation district, in or
der to make il possible for the coun-
ty to issue more bonds than other
wise. in the opinion of Frank 5.
Robertson. manager of the district.
About fifteen farmers have come
to me since we issued notice for the
hearing" Mr.. Robertson said. "Of
this number only one was in favor
Of the change. Indications are that
the farmers will oppose the change,
as they do not want their tax in
creased too much this year on &C
count of road improvement"
The hearing in the district will
start February IL, and will continue
for a week from that time. During
this period all Of the farmers and
landowners of the section are asked
to appear at any time and express
their opinion on the matter.
1T looks as though the Santa
Maria and La Feria districts will
change to control and conservation
districts, and Harlingen may do So"
Mr.. Robertson said. These dist
riots have already passed the pre-
liminary ordinance calling for the
change, and Harrington is to hold a
hearing On it."
He said that if the San Benito
district does not change the result
is the same as IL none Of the dist
riots change.

MEETING SITE
State Postmasters To
Convene Here On
April 23-5

Approximately 1900 postmasters
and rural mail carriers from all sec
tions Of the state will gather here
April 1925 inclusive, for the annual
convention Of those two bodies, G. c.
Richardson, manager of the local
chamber of commerce, announced
Tuesday.
Scene of the convention, originally
scheduled to be held in Harlingen,
vas changed to Brownsville, when it
was found that the dates Of the post
masters meet conflicted with a SINH
lar gathering Of the 4Tth District Ro-
tory convention. AS each group will
bring approximately 1900 persons to
the city, Harlingen decided the COM
bined crowd would be too great to
handle, and asked the mail men to
change the date Of their meeting.
Due to the fact hat several speak
ers of the national note had been Sc
cured in advance. such a change in
dates was found impractical and the
city change was made instead.
