I am in the market for Canteloups and Tomatoes in any

products in most liberal quantities and our prices will be the
top of the market. Don't fail to see us before you sell.

Springtown Postoffice Raised.
Press dispatches of Wednesday
carried the news that the post of-
fice at Springtown had been raised
from the fourth class to the presiden-
tial class. This is quite a distinc-
tion and the Henald is pleased to
note the change.
Truck Turns Over.
Frank King, wno runs a truck
line between Weatherford and Fort
Worth, turned his truck over Wed-
nesday evening as he was making
a trip to Fort Worth. He had a
load of cattle belonging to Bill Ben
ton and the cattle crowded to one
side of the car and that is sup
posed to have caused the accident,
Mr. King had the small bone In his
arm broken, and the stock were
skinned up some, but none of them
seriously hurt. The truck was only
slightly damaged.
000 have been pledged. The'pledg
ing of so much money In times like
these and under conditions of fi
nancial loss and a consequent de
pression of mood, such as the worh’
has never before experienced is an
accomplishment of extraordinary sig
nificance. It means, among other
things that a people can do any
thnlg they desire to do under any
conditions whatsoever, if they have
the will to do it, and the spiritual
forces of faith, courage, loyalty, con
8ecratlon and sacrifice are mightier
than any combination of material
forces. In a word, our task was
fundamentally not a financial one,
but a religious one, and that where
the great religious motives were
reached, financial success followed.’
A representative crowd saw the
Weatherford Commercials take a dou-
ble header from the strong Vick Drug
Co. team of Fort Worth Monday aft-
ernoon, the first by a score of 3 to 2
and the second, which went seven
innings by agreement, by a 1 to 0
count. Fort Worth’s two runs came
when Appling overthrew third base.
Lefiv Morton, who was on the mound
tor the locals, was invincible when
hits meant runs, as the visitors on
more than one occasion had the bases
full, but he settled down and either
struck out or made the batters hit
for easy outs.
Summary, first game: Bases on
balls, by Collins 1, Morton 4. Two
base hits, Wilkerson: hits, Riggins 1,

Second Game.
In the second game Danley and
Hodges were the points for Weather-
ford, and at no time did the visitors
have a look-in, Danley's pitching be-
ing unbeatable. The first three men
to face him were struck out in order;
he gave two bases on balls, but the
runners never went anywhere. Kelly,
the visitors’ pitcher, was the only
man to register a hit. Danley struck
out eleven men.

Turkeys Beat a Cotton Crop.
Mis Myrtie Ccx. and her brother
in-law. who would not stand for
his name being used, ran a compet-
itive race last year in farming and
poultry raising and the good woman
won the race very easily.
Early in (he spring. Mrs. Cox, who
is a member of the Post Oak Point
home demonstration club, started
in the turkey business. She raised
107 birds during the year and mark
eted 94 of them from the sale of
which she received the sum of $294
During the year she fed the brood
five and one half bushels of corn,
which last year was selling at $1.25
per bushel, which would have been
in round numbers $7.00, leaving
a net receipt of $287. During the
year she said she had not devoted
over a half hour a day In caring
for and feeding the flock. In addi-
tion to her sales she reserved 13 fine
birds for stock this season.
Her brother-in-law planted a field
of cotton. He worked it hard, and
raised a fine crop of plants, which
were of no earthly use. as they
failed to produce the fruit from
which he expected to gather his
profits. Of course last year was
an exception, but illustrates very
clearly that. 100 big, fine turkeys
are worth more than a whole field
of cotton
Mrs. Cox expected to market as
many or probably more turkeys this
fall than she did last year, and she
expects to realize the same percen-
tage of profit from her work. It is
not. always the big things in life
that count, neither is the big field
and hard work (hat brings in the
revenue.

Commercials Win Another.
The Commercials made it an easy
victory over the Fort Worth Fire
JFlghters Tuesday afternoon. After
the dust had cleared away Weather-
ford had seven scores while the efforts
of the Fire Fighters were rewarded
with only one. Fowler pitched a first
class grade of ball and should have
had a shutout only for a costly error
by Weatherford's first baseman. The
Commercials should have more back-
ing by Weatherford fans, for they are
playing a first grade game.

Aged Colored Woman Dies.
Rhoda Chandler, an aged colored
woman of this city died Thursday
night at the home of her daughter,
Missouri Hall in the northwestern
part of the city. Aunt Rhoda as she
was railed by many people in Wea-
therford, was 98 years of age last
November, and has been ltving in
Weatherford for fifty years. She
came here from Georgia. She was
a slave in her younger days. She
was a good woman and held the
respect' of all who knew her. She
is survived by six children. Funeral
services were held from the resi-
dence Friday aflemoon at 2:30
o’clock.

Sunday School Picnic
A large party of members of the
Central Christian Sunday school and
invited guests went to Rock Falls
yesterday afternoon for a real hon-
est-to goodness picnic.
Immediately after arriving, a fast
baseball game was begun by the
Loyal Boys ela3s and the Vivrett
class. Some very sensational plays
were made by Henry Fawks. L. A.
Roberts, George Moore, et al. Not-
withstanding the many sensational
plays made by tbe stalwart mem-
bers of the Bible class, they lost
to the tune of 9 to 2 to "Cradle
Roll.”
Then came the call to lunch. All
of the requisites of a picnic lunch
were conspicuous by their presence
—chicken, pie. cake, salads, sand-
wiches, etc. After grace by Mr.
Matthews, little Bettie Stewart pre-
sented to the winners of the base
ball game a delicious little cake.
Full justice was done to the repast,
but there was plenty and to spare.
The social hour followed. After
a full round of pleasure, the picnic-
ers when dark had fully come,
started the pleasant trip home.
II was the sentiment of all, that
such occasions should be often re-
peated.

Potatoes Produce Without Work
J. M. Fuller of the Poolville com-
munity, was in the city Friday with
several bushels of potatoes, for
which he found a ready market. The
potatoes were of the Irish Cobbler
variety, large and smooth. Mr.
Fuller said he carefully prepared
his ground before planting and after
that the- only work he gave them
was with a hoe to keep the few
weeds down. He planted two bush-
els and gathered twenty-seven from
the patch, besides what was grab
bled early in the season to supply
the table. He got 2 cents per pound
for the few bushels he sold Friday.

there is a very sudden change in
conditions. In many of the fields
the plant is very fine, but the wee

open but it shows that it has been
