 Texas Is No
 TWo-CunT Town

CUT AND SHOOT, Tex, Dec. 29. Cut and Shoot is a peaceful vil- lage despite its name.
 It is a crosSroad community that got its blood and thunder name at the time it got it's little white church.
 About the turn of the century nobody remembers the exact date the community started to build the church each resident being re- quired to do part of the work.
 Everything moved smoothly until they got to the steeple
 One faction wanted to cut the steeple at one end of the church i: the other faction wanted to put it at the other end
 Fists flew and noses trickled with blood
 Officers from Conroe, nine miles away, dashed over in buckboards and on horseback. Things were quiet when they got there.
 A wag christened the community Cut and Shoot. The name has stuck while the village has slept through four decades. still just a little white church, a few houses and cross- roads store.

RAzzLE DAZZLE CASABA IS HEC
 STYLE OF BALL
University of Washington Basketball Mentor
 Likes Changes

The new year dawns and Hec Edmundsons University of Wash ington basketball charges are ready to enter another season of battle and conquest.
 Basketball has finally become stream lined believes Hec in view of the recent changes in basket ball, eliminating the center tipoff, and subsequently, making the cen ter, the forwards and guards, each Just a man on the squad"
 Its a unit, now!" says Hec. It's modern basketball-its' razzle daz- zle.'
 And incidentally, the new style of ball is just Hec's meat That cagey basketball mentor was forced several years ago to do without the advantage of reach in the pivot position because of lack of that sort of man to fill the job.
 Hec then started turning out men with binding speed, who would go down the floor like scared jack rabbits from a flat footed start, and who hawked the opponents casaba like worrying terriers.
 A player who is straining him self on the basketball floor is not playing for Washington, the Uni versity, on the Pavilion floor, but he's playing for good old Hec, and his legs and his heart just howl one frenzied word-"Drive!
 Drive! Drive!"
 That is the sort of basketball that has brought honors to the University of Washington.

 January 7-8-University of Idaho at Seattle.

Sad The MUSEUM Guard to The HNgry Visit0r
A lady who "knows what she likes" in art
toured famous museum with her nose in the air.
"Hmph! was her comment as she passed one
world-famous painting after another And
"Hmph," she said to the guard as she left-"I've
been through the whole museum and you seem
to have nothing worthwhile in the place."
Madam" said the guard in his best bored
manner, "these great masterpieces are no longer
on trial But the spectators are"
You, too, are on trial. With almost every high
school in America teaching art appreciation and
the stories of the great masters, you cannot afford
to lag behind the procession Keep up with your
children. Keep up with your friends. Clip the

least expensive educational opportunities ever
presented to the teaching profession!

appreciation are laid during school years. Teach
ers share with parents the responsibility for stim-
ulating the natural love Of beauty which is
inherent in every child yet is quickly lost with
out encouragement
Make sure that your school room will be
equipped with these wonderful paintings. Tell
your pupils how they may secure them for their
own homes. And, of course you will not want to
miss this unprecedented opportunity to get COM

The Process That Revolutiouixed
Mulh- Color Printing


The process Of multi-color printing used in
reproducing these pictures pleased the whole art
world when it was first introduced
By this process it is now possible to retain
realistically all the rich tones and delicate shad-
ings of truly great paintings.
Now the NACAA process can reproduce six,
eight or as many coors as the artist himself has
put into his picture. And it reproduces them so
faithfully you can almost see the brush leaving
the paper. You can follow the technique of the
individual artist, of schools, of periods. These
prints are of inestimable value to the art student
as we'll as to others who will be satisfied only with
reproductions of the highest quality.
Ordinary prints of these paintings in a similar
size, if bought singly in stores, would cost a
considerable sum. But thanks to fortune of
half million dollars invested to bring this process
to mass-production basis, you are able to secure
these perfect replicas of world-famous paintings
for less than ten cents each

committee was not so hot
When he came into court he frank
ly told the Judge that ten cents rep
resented his expense allowance while
on tour of the ten thousand lakes.
When asked if he had ever heard
of foater, he replied that he knew
plenty"
The Judge told him he was inclined
to give him one. but ten cents seemed
to be a woefully small amount for a
man to start trip to Grand Rapids.
Riceland however was equal to the
occasion, for he promptly replied, III

there are plenty going the other way"
So Riceland. with what remains of
his ten cents is wandering toward
Grand Rapids, somewhat disappointed
that he missed to chute the chutes at
