Calves Will Be Purchased Soon
The 4-IJ Club boys who wish to
feed calves for next spring shows
should see the Agent pretty soon
as the calves will be purchased as
soon as good ones are found that
are worth the money. The calves
will cost around six cents per pound.
This price is high, but some car-
loads are selling as high as five
and a half cents to the commer-
cial feeders and we will be com-
pelled to pay more when we select
only the top calves. The boys have
the privilege of purchasing -their
own calves, but if the money is to
be borrowed it will be necessary
jpg the Agent to see them before
they are paid for.
. The money to buy the calves will
“ be supplied by the banks of the
county and the National Finance
iSredit Association of Texas. The
Wives will be purchased wherever
they can be found worth the money,

Mrs. Watson and I left here on
July 10, and in four nays reached
the Pacific Coast at Portland, travel-
ing by the way of Denver, Laramie,
Wyoming and Boise, Idaho, and
down the beautiful Columbia River
route to Portland, a distance of 1,-
946 miles from home. We had
previously been over much of this
route and while the scenery was
beautiful in many places, it was not
so interesting as a country through
which you are traveling for the
.first time.
, From Portland we went out to
Mt. Ranier National Park, where
we spent a day among the snow
banks and glaciers of that great
Summer playground. Then on
through 'Seattle to Anacortes,
Washington, where we shipped the
car and boarded a boat for Van-
couver Island and spent a day at
Victoria, a city which is said^ to be
truly European in its customs. Driv-
ing up the Island for one hundred
miles, we took the boat back to

they are assembled to his home.
Each member who feeds calves

them that is furnished with a feed

the heads ground and be able to
purchase the cottonseed meal. It
wUl require about three thousand
tap pounds of heads, about 1500 pounds
* of bundles and some 300 pounds of
cottonseed meal to feed the calf
until the last of March. Corn and
molasses are usually fed the last
hundred days.

to him and the price of his calf

TSurance last year was $1.33 per
w head.
Financing Cattle Feeder Loans
John C. Burns of the Texas Live-
U stock marketing Association of Ft.
(pPWorth spoke on financing cattle at
the- Short Course.
He said they would finance any
one who for the full value of the
cattle providing the borrowers had
sufficient amount of feed that was
unincumbered to finish them. The
borrower gives a Chattel on the
cattle and feed. The interest

it care to make a loan of
much less than a thousand dol-

From Vancouver we traveled
northeast up the Frazier River over
the famous Caroboo Trail, a road
which was originally a pack trail
into the gold fields of Quesnel and
Barkesville Districts and which was
later worked into a wagon road,
and of late years through the won-
derful work of the Canadian Royal
Engineers has been made into a
splendid hard-surfaced highway. A
day and a half of travel over this
beautiful route brought us to Ques-
nel, a very pretty little town of
1,500 people at the junction of
the Frazier and Quesnel Rivers.
Here we reach the interesting and
localized part of this narrative, for
it will be remembered that this is
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oren
Corrington, the lady being formerly
Miss Marie Tarwater and Hockley

Agent. We had the happy privilege

Hogs Pay Little for Ground Feed
It is not economical to grind
grain for hogs when self feeders are
used, experiment station results in-
dicate. Pigs visit the self feeders
as many as twenty times a day and
with plenty of time to chew the
grain only two pounds of grain out
of each one hundred fed comes
thru whole as compared to ten
pounds when hogs are hand fed.
” evious experiments with seTF
feeders in which pigs obtained the
various feeds free choice, found that
9 70 pound pig will eat about 6
of grain and 3-4 pound of
suppliment per day for 90
and gain about 1 3-4 pounds

O. J. Young, agent of the Con-
tinental Oil Company here, has
been transferred to McKinney where
he will have a similar position. It
is understood that C. D. Bass, pro-
prietor of the West 81de Garage,
will shortly be installed as Con-
tinental Agent and that he will
take active charge of that business.
Mr. Young and family will leave

nineteen by profession of faith and
baptism. Twenty-one conversions had
also been announced.
The meeting will probably close
at the Sunday evening service.
This is the first of a series of
meetings to be held by the various
churches of the community this
Summer. The meeting of the First
Missionary Baptist Church began
yesterday under very favorable con-
ditions and bids fair to produce
large results. The Tabernacle Church
of Christ also begins Saturday for
a weeks duration. The Church of
the Assembly of God will also be-
gin a revival Saturday. The First
Methodist Church will begin their
annual revival on Sunday, August
14th. Other meetings will perhaps
be announced later.
Roger Babson, regarded as the
outstanding statician of the present
age, states that a great revival of
religion throughout the World Is
one of the necessary elements in \
bringing back better economical con- j
among. Because of Its influence hr
building confidence between man j
and man and between nations. Busi-
ness is largely built upon credit,
or the faith one man or business
structure has in another. During
normal times business is largely
done upon paper with little money
being exchanged, while during a
period such as we have at the
present time ready cash is the only
incentive to move and exchange
commodities, and is one reason
why a^depresssion is always accom-
panied by a scarcity of currency.
Also, the promise of the Creator
is to those who turn from evil and
do his will. Israel, his chosen peo-
ple, frequently went into idolatry
and found themselves in trouble and
dispair. To them he said: "If my
people, who are called by My name,
will humble themselves and pray and
seek My face, and turn away from
their wicked ways, then I will hear
from Heaven and will forgive their
At a meeting of the Democratic

A revival meeting will begin at
the First Methodist Church on Sun-
day, August 14, according to the
announcement of Rev. J. B. Mc-
Reynolds, pastor. He will be assist-
ed in the preaching by Rev. H. C.

reputation of being one of the lead-
ing evangelists of the South Plains.
Arrangements are being made to

air and everything will be done
to make the surroundings cool and
comfortable lor those who attend.
The singing will be under the
direction of Edgar Brasch, local
choir leader, and the singers are

tractions of the meeting.
Rev. J. B. McReynolds, the pastor,
occupied the pulpit in the First
Methodist Church at Lubbock last
Sunday.

Missionary Baptist
J. H. Teague, a young man twenty
years of age who had been living
with his widowed sister, Mrs. Ollie
Armstrong about three miles south-
east of Whitharral, died in the
Lubbock Sanitarium Sunday even-
ing about 8:30 o’clock as a result
of an attempt to save his little two
year old nephew, Donald Armstrong,
from the flames which destroyed
the home about 9 o’clock Sunday
morning.
The child, which was also badly
burned, died the next morning at
11:30 o’clock.
From what can be learned, Mrs.
Armstrong was attempting to replen-
ish the fuel in a gasoline cook
stove which was already hot. The
gallon can of gasoline ignited and
caught the women’s clothing on fire
and the flames rapidly enveloped
the kitchen. Teague was in the
yard and ran to the assistance of
his sister and after extinguishing
the flames, it was remembered that
the baby was in a high chair in
the kitchen. He entered the room
through the front way and brought
out the'child, but in doing so hlsj -
clothing was burned from hisshoul-j have all read many conflict-

The annual revival of the First
Missionary Baptist Church began
yesterday with the pastor, Rev.
John H. Hallford, doing the preach-
ing. He has recently concluded a
meeting at Jester, Oklahoma, where
he had fine success.
The singing will be under the
direction of the leader of the local
choir, G. H. Tubb, and will be an
inspiration to the services.
The services are being well at-
tended and the pastor is preaching
truly evangelistical sermons and the
prospects are good for a great suc-
cess in this series of meetings.
The public is cordially invited to
attend and assist in these services.

have wondered just what to believe.
That the government should have
existed so long has caused many
of us to believe that much that we
had heard was propaganda and
that at the bottom of it all there
must be something of vital value to
the human race. This was all ex-
plained in a lecture given here
Tuesday evening by Hickman Price,
Jr., who spent six months in that
country last year.

Pettit Schools to
Start August 15th
According to announcement the
Pettit Public Schools will begin the
new school year- on Monday^ August
15th. The schools are beginning In
the Summer, so that if it should
be necessary to close for a period
during the harvest, no time will
be lost.
Last year owing to the big yields
and the limited labor available dur-
ing the early part of the season, it
was necessary to close practically
all of the schools of the county dur-
ing the peak of the harvest. This
year prospects are not quite so good
and the labor situation will not be
so acute; however, money is so
badly burned, but at first thought
to be riot necessarily fatal. The
mother also suffered severe burns
on the hands and thighs but her
injuries were not serious.
After being brought from the
house and its flaming clothes ex-
tinguished, the child ran over to
the home of Mr. Anthony’s, a dis-
tance of about two hundred yards.
Teague on being brought here for
treatment was able to walk around
and converse with those around
him, notwithstanding the skin was
hanging down from his chest.
The funeral of the baby was held
in Whitharral Tuesday, and the
body of the young man was shipped
to Hollis, Oklahoma, where his par-
ents reside. Mrs. Armstrong, whose
husband died about two years ago,
was able to attend the services held
for her baby.

munity Wednesday state that an
