School to Begin Monday Sept U
It has been officially stated by the
Board of Education that school will be-
gin on Monday September 15 We are
expecting this to be the final decision
as to the beginning of school this year
- since we do not anticipate another
- storm and we feel sore both pupils and
' teachers are more than ready for the

to say the teachers to begin their
mingling with the younger people
Realising that a good beginning
means the battle half won we urge

'-difficult part of the year's work— un-
less it be the close Now is the time
we need your assistance Next spring
the battle will be won or lost We need
yon to bear with us more this year
than usual at the beginning of a school
term The system is what one might
say new to the district as we realize
that neither pupils nor teachers had a
fair chance last year The books are
being 'changed and we have no positive I
assurance that the new ones will be
here for' some time yet In addition
to this the courses of study recommend-
- ed by the st"te department are being
changed and they are not yet on hand
This is going to be one of the hard
years with the teachers and the pu-
pils hence the more necessary that all
work together -' - '
As to the hooks I have been asked
many times what is to be done in case
' the new books are not here I wish
to make this explanation which I think
will make this matter clear When the
new hooks were adopted the board
net an exchange price on the old books
If on next Monday morning those
who' have old books will bring them to
school and the news ones have not
come at that time the old ones may be
sold for the exchange price and neither
buyer nor seller lose The seller would
exchange them when the new ones
come for the same price he will pay
next Monday morning This Is an-
other case of co-operation
-The freshmen and the sophommore
pupils are asked to come to the office
of the superintendent st 2 o'clock (old
time) next Friday afternoon to enroll
The juniors and seniors will come at
o'clock (old time) Saturday morn-
ing Alf who have attended school
away from Jet should bring their cred-
its We urge the pupils to be here
at the time set at then the teachers will
he present and prepared to discuss the
pupils' work with them Remember
the time you are to come Friday af-
ternoon will be given solely to enroll-
ing the freshmen and the sophomores
and Saturday morning to enrolling the
Juniors and seniors
We cannot tell you all now Come
out next Monday morning September
15 and hear what we have to say and

"The Salvation Army went Into the
war service field In a modest manner"
Lieut Colonel George Wood command
er of the Southwestern Division said
yesterday 'The instant success) of
the workers in the war field made
rapid extension necessary The Sal-
vation Army felt that It could not spare
the time or organised effort during
the war to make constant appeals to
the American people for money
"It consequently mortgaged a gres
deal of Its property in the United
States for the purpose of raising money
required for carrying on the work in
the foreign field In unstinted manner
' Hundreds of soldiers returning from
Prance give testimony to the efficient
work of the Salvation Army near the
trenches '
"Would you believe It" a soldier boy
said to the commander of the Dallas
district a few days ago "If I should
tell you that the Salvation Army
lassie dared shell fire the same as the
soldiers Those girts never lew a inm
line position until given express or-
ders to do sov'
"I do not know what the cltleens
of the Southwest will say but I do
know that the boys who served will
back their mortgage-lifting campaign

TO THE PEOPLE OF JET
There was an article in last week's
Issue to the effect that I had severed
my connections with the Jet Visitor
But it was for only one week as I am
back on the Job and have a different
feeling than I had before as I have
now become owner and publisher
The people of this community and
elsewhere wherever this paper circu
lates surely think that this paper
hands pratty often but yet

it has never missed an issue As I
am now the owner I feel certain that
it will not change hands again' soon
The Jet Visitor la known over the
state as one of the best country news-
papers In this part of the country and
business men and the people of this
this Is due to the loyal support of the
vicinity In co-operating with the pub-
lisher of this splendid paper and this
Is the reason why I have bought this
paper and feel that I will make a suc-
cess with the people of Jet
Tdtrare all "aware that adverttatoa
is the most essential one thing to a
successful publication Now and then
we run across a man that does no
advertising This person never seems
to know that there are different kinds
of advertising For Instance take the
man who has something to sell per-
haps a horse he will walk up to a
n on the street and ask him if he
nts to bur a good horse If he is
lucky ho may sell to the first man but
nine out of ten times he will have to
speak with a dozen or more before
he strikes a bargain He haa wasted
perhaps a week trying to sell a horse
that could have been sold through a
rii!i ad In the colvmns of a news-
paper This Is called personal ad-
vertising and Is very tiresome and time
wasting While an ad wonld cost only
a few dollars sell your article quicker
and with less trouble
As I once heard a fellow say "The
time to advertise is when you have
the goods" :
Mr Finch who has been the owner
for the past twelve years has a re
putation that can not easily be sur-"
passed and one that will not be for-
gotten He has gone to a larger field
and baa left the smaller field for the
younger one to get a start Although
we are not as good a newspaper man
as Mr Finch It will be suffice to say
that we will go to the extent of our
ability
The local news Is another very es
sential thing to the country newspaper
and something that must be handled
by the people In general If all the
people will hand In the news they
learn about it will make the Visitor
newsy paper Indeed If you hare
an Item that would be of interest to
someone else write phone or call and
tejl us about It and we will be grateful
This is the first venture of the owner
In the business world and he wishes
to make it a success in every way
If he haa the support due from a town
this size there can hardly be any doubt
as to the outcome
"Let's all get behind and push for
the best and newsiest little paper in
the state
