Summer Is Summer,
You Know—
Times during the season the
days ate hotter than hot. It's
not an easy feat, cither, to
keep cool. But it's very pos-
sible, and half the ttick lies in
looking cool. We've all seen
the fellow who looks Alaska-
fied on the warmest days; his
clean, cheery face is indeed
the very opposite to the sultry
summer appearance of most of
us. -And that fellow is cool.
He has clothed himself to look
it, and he lives in that eviron-
ment. That's the pshychol-
ogy of the whole thing. The
idea, of course, needs practi-
cal support. \\ ear a featherweight suit.
Straw Hats, Shirts, Pants, Tie* and Under-
wear—all the popular merchandise at the pop-
ular prices for reliable merchandise.

kind had been contained, got tive or

young, fellows into trouble in .lustico
Hodges' court, and incidentally has
vellum-lined the pockets of the coun-
ty attorney, et al. Pleas of guilty
were entered by the following citi-
zens or near-citixens of the Shady
Grove and other bailiwicks of Par-
ker:
Roy McCarty made an assault with
a rock on a boy and for the privilege
of trying his arm to see if his aim
was still straight and whether his
arm had turned "glass" on him, he
paid up like a man. The prince in
slmoleon8 was $13.80 all told. The
flne was $5, so the costs are easily
figured.
W. S. Smiley, a conductor of the
Texas & Pacific got a lot of language
out of his system just after making a
flying switch when some unalert in-
dividual got iu the railroad man's
way and caused him to unbottle a
grouch. Mr. Smiley disbursed a total
of $13.80 with the usual pro rata to
the justice, constabulary, et al.
Fast after the railroader came
Bert Snailum, who had an affray over
the keg, with a plea of guilty and
paid manfully with $8.70; then Tom
Sqailum did likewise and impoverish-
ed himself to the crescendo of $8.70,
while Dick Dill acknowledged he had
had $8.70 worth of fun with the keg.

Former Farm Demonstrator Joe
Caldwell informed a Herald repre-
sentative Monday that there were now
six silos built and in operation in
Parker county, and that contracts had
been made for ten more in the coun-
ty, making sixteen in all. Last year
there were no silos in the county.
Thus the doctrines of the Herald
are being taken hold of and put in
practice. Conservation with silos is
the salvation of the farmer.
Best Medicine for Colds.
When a druggist recommends a
remedy for" colds, throat and lung
troubles, you can feel Sure that he
knows what he is talking about. C.

"I know Dr. King's New Discovery is
the best throat and lung medjjgiqe I
sell. It cured my wife of a severe
bronchial cold after all other reme-
dies failed." It will do the same for
you if you are suffering with a cold

Judge Charles' Seward Dead.
At the residence of his daughter
in Merkel, Texas, Judge CharleB So-
ward died Sunday, May 11, aged 78
years.
Judge' Soward at one time was
judge of the district In which Weath
erford was in the early seventies of
the last century. He lived in Weath-
erford formerly, but left this city
about, thirty years ago and moved to
Decatur, where ho made his home
and practiced law for many years.
Judge Soward was stepfather to A.
N. Grant of Weatherford. He also
is survived by a son and two daugh-
ters, who are Trthur Soward of near
Petersburg, Texas, Mrs. I. R. Dean
of Toronto, Canada, and Mrs. G. L.
Hamilton of Merkel, with which
daughter Judge Soward spent his
last moments. He had been making
his home witih his daughter since the
death of his wife in 1911, though hlB

'I will not advise you what to do,"
said Justice Hodges.
"Why, I only shoved the man in the
crook to keep him out of the scrap,"
said Glass. "I wasn't in the scrap at
all; only wanted to see fair play, and
not have rnore'n two flghtln' at one
time. I was as sober as I ant right
now, too," asserted Glass with a very
definite air that convinced the report-
er of the truthfulness of his claim of
sobriety.
"Well, it would take a jury "and
some witnesses to determine how
hard you pushed the other fellow,"
said the justice.
After a moment's reflection Glass
decided he had pushed hard enough
to make it worth eight-seventy, and
dug down in his shotbag and produced
some of last year's cotton money. As
he went away from there Glass was
quoting to himself, softly with the
low pedal:
"Until wo are built like an angel—
With chisel, and hammer, and pen,
We'll work for ourselves and a woman
Forever and. ever—Amen."

It's a mighty good thing for the wo-
men of America that Parisian Sage
can now be obtained in every town of

done so much to stop falling hair and
eradicate dandruff and make women's
hair beautiful as Parisian Sage.
Parisian Sage is the only certain
destroyer of the dandruff microbe
which is the cause of 97 per cent of
hair troubles.
These pernicious, persistent and de
structlve little devils thrive on the
ordinary hair tonics.
Parisian Sage Is such an extraordi-
nary and quick acting rejuvenator
that Clierry-Akatd Drug Co., who Is
the agent In Weatherford, guarantees
It. to cure dandruff, stop failing hair

It is a magnificent dressing for wo-
men who desire luxuriant, lustrous
hair that compels admiration,
