perfect rendition. Monday's openlnc
picture will be "On Trial,” one of;
the latest one hundred per cetv
talkies. The picture will be a su

Today the Webb ts running a pic
ture starring Bessie Love, entitled
"Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly.' a
very fine production.
The Princess is advertising the
latest of the celebrated Zane Qrey

; Suggests Members
For School Board
j Editor Star:
Novv that the school question
seems to be settled satisfactory and
with honor to all concerned, it's
time «e were beginning to think of,
and select a school board, as the
election is only a short time away.
We cannot select any better men
than what we had, however as they j
have resigned, it's up to the citi- 1
zens to prevail upon some other
good men to accept. It *s a thank
less job of course and means lots
of worry and criticism, but as some
one has to do it. I am taking the
liberty of suggesting a few men for
the place:
Ward 1—Thad C. Ford: ward 2—
Oliver Anthony; ward 3—H. Clay |
Cox: ward 4—J. B Nolan and
Marvin Blanton as a member at
large.
None of these men are seeking
♦ he place and probably none of
them care to accept. hut they
might be induced to do so If the
people insist on them to accept. I
wish to say also hi tliis connection,
♦hat we should fleet our school
board with the distinct understand
ing that they receive the same rate
of pay as the city council, which is
$10.00 each per month. That is not
much of course, but they deserve
something for giving their time
and brains to the proper expendi
tures of $150,000 each >ear. Let’s
hear from other interested voters.
