If a candidate tells you that he
believes in a business administra-
tion, believe him or not, but find
out if he has shown real business
ability. Many men, who have
made failures of their own busi-

they are needed to save the coun"
try from going to the bow-wows.
Following several weeks of
bad weather, with an over-
abundance of rain, it has been^
warmer this week with no rain

clowdy and unsettled yet. Farm,

W. A. Hines, a teacher in the
Mesquite High School •* re*
strained from punishing Chap-
man Webb in any manner and is
also restrained "from preventing
him from attending school here,
by a temporary injunction grant-
ed bv Judge Louis Wilson of the
Forty Fourth District Court in
Dallas last Saturday afternoon.
Three of the school trustees.
Dr. A. M. Shelton, president of
the board; J. C. Wright, vice
president, and S. H. Whitehurst,
secretary, are also named as de-
fendants.
Application for the injunction
was made by George E. Webb,
the father, through his attorney,
Noah Roark. Not having seen
Mr. Webb or a copy of the pe
tition for the injunction, we
quote ifrum a Dallas newspaper,
the following:
"The petition alleges that on
March 18 because Chapman Webb
whispered during the study per-
iod at school Hines threatened to
whip him before the entire school
with a garden hose. The piece of
hose which ha intended to use
was three or four feet long and
weighed from five to ten pounds,
it is claimed.
Hines was unable to find the
hose that day and told the boy he
would whip him the next morn-
ing, the petition states. The boy
through fear of punishment and
the shame of being whipped be-
fore the entire school, did not re-
turn the next morning and Hines
has refused to let him re-enter
school unless he submits to the
punishment.
It is claimed that the boy's fa-
ther visited the trustees and con.
sented to his son being whipped,
! but not with the garden hose. As
a substitute Hines wished to use
a board three feet long, four ot
■five inches wide and from a quar-
ter to a half-inch in thickness, ac-
cording to the petition. Tfi% boy
has never been a refractory pupil
and has averaged more than nine-'
ty in his examinations and such
punishment is not commensurate
with the minor infraction of the
rules with which he is charged,
the petition states.
Mr. Hines and the trustees tell
a different story from the above.
In the first place. Mr. Hines says
that he did not threaten to whip
the boy with a piece of garden
hose, but a small piece of rubber
tubing, not considered a danger-
ous or cruel weapon; that he did
not teH him that he would whip
him in the presence erf the entire
school, but before school started
the following morning. It is de-
nied also that Mr. Webb agreed
that Chapman could be whipped
with anything, and is asserted
that he not only threatened to
give Mr. Hines a thrashing if he
v,'hipped the boy, but to take the
matter into the courts. It is also
asserted that the other boy,
charged equally with Chapman,
submitted to the whipping with-
out protest

Chapman remained away from
school 'following the incident un-
til Monday, when the injunction
was in force. He returned to
school that day, and no effort
has been made or will be made to
inflict punishment on him pend-
ing the final decision of the court,
when it is called on Saturday of
next week.
If the injunction is dissolved
then Chapman will have to take
his punishment or leave school.

Change Is Made In
Rural Route No. 2
Congressman Hatton W. Sum-
ners has sent the Mesquiter a
letter from the Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General, outlining a
slight change in rural mail route
iio. 2. out of Mesquite. The let-
ter follows:
Post Office Department
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General
Washington
March 19, 1924.
Hon. Hatton W. Sumners,
House of Representatives.
My dear Mr. Sumners:
For your information, I beg to
state that, upon petition of Mr.
T. W. Brackett and others, rural
route No. 2 from Mesquite, Tex- j
as, will be extended from the Du-
pree corner east to the Brackett |
corner and retrace, so as to pro- 1
vide that the carrier pass nearer i
to the residences of the petition-j
ers, twelve families in all being!
benefitted by the change.
A change to be made the same j
date at another point on the |
route wilt provide that the car I
tier pass nearer the residences of!
C. H. Touchstone and others,1
tw nty-tive families in all to be;
benefitted by this change. While 1
ten families will be inconven-
ienced in connection with this
amendment, most cii these fam-
ilies will still be within a short
distance of the route, and the
amendment will permit with-
drawal of travel from a very poor
road.
Sincerely yours,
H. M. Billany,
F<Airth Asst. Post. Gen.
The people familiar with the
roads at the points named will
understand the changes. We un.
derstand that the route will be
lengthened approximately a dis-
tance of two miles; that the
roads on the new part of the
route are much better than on
the part abandoned; that a great
many people, some of whom are
now over a mile -from the route,
will be accommodated by the
change, while only two families
will be seriously inconvenienced.
H. H. Hanby, the carrier, likes
the change very much.
Those most benefitted are
those on the pike, east of Tripp
and a number of others living
near Mr. Brackett and J. L.
Sweet.

There has never been a time
when men's clothes were more
sensible than they arc for spring
and summer 1924; or better
looking.
These facts are worth telling
and they're worth reading.
The new styles fit easily and
hang informally. They're not
loose or baggy; they have a little
more room than clothes of pre-
vious seasons.
The whole idea is relaxation;
the coats look relaxed—not snug
or stiff; they feel relaxed; the
trousers are wider and more
comfortable.
