biles is traveling throughout the
Western and Southern part of the

the first transcontinental road race
It made the trip from New York to
Portland. Oregon, in forty-four
days. The other old model was built
in 1910 and was the first pleasure

up the game lost The next reg-
ular match scheduled will be
nlayed at Clifton Sunday week,
June 28.
Next Sunday the annual invita-
ion tournament at Hamilton will
He under way. Coach W. J. Wis-
dom and son, Billy Jack, and Con-
nor Blakeney and Msck Blakeney
have indicated that they might at-
tend the tournament, in which one
or more nr the foursome may
compete. Coach Wisdom won the
tournament one year since it has
been held.
Last week Coach Wisdom and
Connor Blakeney tied for first
‘■onors. Since Blakeney played in
first position the week preceding
that, Wisdom played in that po-
-it’on last Sunday at Hico.

cording to their qualifying scores,
were W. J. Wisdom. Connor Blak^

Hico, 14 1-3; Hamilton. 2 1-3:
Hifton, 2 1-3; Stephenville, 11.
The local team still holds a good
lead for the season’s play.
Stephenville and Erath county
citizens heard two candidates for
state senator, J. Manley Head of
Stephenville and W, A. (Son) Shaf-
ner of Temple, deliver campaign
speeches here Saturday afternoon
on the east *id? of the court house.
Several hundred Stephenville
Trade* Day shoppers heard both
appeals.
Head, who has been s member
t.f the State legislature from this,
the 21st District for the past four
years, began speaking at two
o’clock ever the loud speaker
equipment supplied by< the Radio
Electric Shop. He closed his ad-
dress at 2:40 o’clock and was fol-
lowed by Shofner, member of the
State legislature from Bell County
for the past two years, who spoke
fretn three o’clock until 3:40 p. m.,
also over the loud speaker.
Both candidates favor' the old
age pensions and propose raising
the funds necessary to pay them
through increased taxes on natural
resources. Both are opposed to the
sale.; tax.
The chief issue between the two
candidates, as evidenced by their
speeches Saturday afternoon, was
whether there should be one or
two branches of the State legisla-
ture. Head is opposed to one cham
ber, while Shofner favors it.

Harvests 30 Carloads
Choice Irish Potatoes
At least 30 carloads of Irish
potatoes will be marketed this year
from the Lingleville community,
according to members of the Ste-
phenville Chamber of Commerce,
who made a trip to that vicinity
Thursday morning to watch the
extensive harvesting operations.
Approximate value of the 30 car-
loads is estimated at 515,000. At
least half of the total crop it being
shipped from Stephenville to a
buyer in Fort Worth, who has
already contracted for 15 carlords.
tie cf the farms visited by the
Chamber of Commerce was that of
Zeph Christian, a member of the
School Hill Potato Association,
who has 6 acres planted in this
crop. Christian is marketing 429
bushels of potatoes from these six
acres at an approximate inccme of
$2 per bushel.
Members of the agriculture com-
mittee of the Stephenville Cham-
ber ot Commerce also inspected a
demonstration plot on the Chris-
tian farm where the benefits of
commercial fertilizer in raising the
commodity was tested this year. A
sum of 396 per acre resulted from
the use cf the commercial ferti-
i'zei compared with $37.20 from
-w Uitoes grown on land which no
fertilizer applied during the demon-
iration.
Stephenville buyers, too, are
couiing in for tbeir sham of the
1936crop from all over Erath
county. A fair yield and good
quality has resulted from the time-
ly rains over the county and
thousands of dollars are pouring
:nto the coffers of Erath county
farmers during the petato harvest-
ing period, which is now in its
prime for the 1936 seaon.
Malaria Control
Exhibit Shown At
Texas Centennial
Austin, June 16.—A prominent
position in the space of the Fed-
eral Building piloted to the Unit-
ed States Public Health Service
at the Texas Centennial Exposi-
tion is occupied by a twin exhibit
i.rranged by the Texas State De-
partment of Health. The exhibit
was made possible through ton
terials furnished by the Public
Health Service rnd is creating
much comment and interest.
Two tables, four by six feet
each, depict a typical village be
fore and after malaria control
work produced desired improve-
ments. The layout of the village
before malaria control shows com-
mon malaria mosquito breeding
places, including iwampy areas,
slow sluggish streams with grassy
banks, ox bows or resacas, poor
drainage along railroads and
highways, unscreened houses,
leaky water tanks and open rain
brrrels, and other trash and con-
tainers which might collect and
hold water long enough for mos-
quito breeding.
The second table represents the
lame village after extensive ma-
laria ccntrol work has accomplish-
ed the correction of many hazards
~nd complete elimination of others.
Streams through the town have
*ieen cleaned and straightened, rip-
apped or permanently lined.
*wamps have been drained by un-
derground drainage or surface
ditches, and in one case a dam
instructed to raise the water level
-nd convert the swamp into a lake.
Hr uses are screened properly and
•ill containers which would invite
mosquito breeding, such as tin
nans, fire barrels and water tanks,
have been corrected or removed.
Improvement of the village after
malaria control was instituted over
•t* former condition is readily ap-
parent, both from an engineering
(c notnic standpoint. With
‘he «lini*rat!on of mosouitoe* and
halting of the spread of malaria,
’•otter economic conditions among
'h«* ponti’M’on follow as a natural
consequence.
