For 8choolboy to Create Strength
v After Sickness.
Vineland, N. J.—“1 am a schoolboy,
17 years of age, and typhoid fever left
me weak and debilitated, so I had to
stay out of schpol three months—my
doctor prescribed Vinol. It has built
up mp strength and how I am’feeling
fine.”—». E. Bunce.
The reason Vinol was so successful
in this boy’s case, is because it con
tains beef and cod liver peptones,
iron and manganese pep ts nates and
glycerophosphates, the v4ry elements
needed to build up a weakened, run-
down system, make rich, red blood
and create strength. Braselton Smith

At the Christian Chapel.
The Chape) was crowded for two
splendid services yesterday. Brother
Walker was at his best and mqde
strong appeals for right living in the
light of New Testament teachings.
Two people confessed Christ at the
morning service and were “baptized
Christ” at the evening service.
3:27, Rom. 6:3-6, Romf 10:10.)
evening sermon on “How to
Read the Bible” received animated
attention. The speaker declared that
no one could understand the Bible
without taking into consideration (1)
the writerd, (.) to whom written, (3)
the purpose of the writer and his pro-
duction, (4) and the dispensation in
which the writing was done. For in-
stance the Law and the Prophets in
the Jewish age pointed to the glories
of the Christian age to come. The
gospel plan of salvktion is not devel-
oped in the laW and the prophets. A
man cannot find out what to do to be
saved by reading Leviticus. He must
come to Christ and the Apostles for
the information. Acts of Apostles was
written to show how the peoples were
converted to Ghrist under the preach-
ing of the great commission given by
ghrist Himself for world salvation.
The twenty-one epistles teach Chris-
tians how to live lives of service.
Revelation contains ait inspiring de-
scription of the home of the soul.
The service this evening will b«gin
at 8:30. REPORTER.
C-outs Memorial Revival.
The first services of the meeting
at Couts Memorial Methodist church
were held Sunday morning and even-
ing under very favorable conditions.
There is no more faithful band of
church workers than those who wor-
ship at Couts Memorial to be found
in the city, and their co-operaton
with their splendid pastor and the
excellent leader of song, under the
in a good revival. Rev. C. E. Simp-
son, the pastor, is doing the preach-
ing. He is a good thinker, forceful
and clear ni his preaching, wth it all
spiritual-«vange|i8tic in type. The
church was fortunate in securing the
services of Mr. Cunningham to lead
the singing; he is a good soloist as
well as chor director, and all the peo-
ple who sing Bhould rally antj help to
make the song service a great feature
of the meetin. The hours of service
will be 3:30 and 8:30 p. m. daily. A
special invitation is' extended to tbe
school children to attend the after-
noon services. Let everybody attend
the meeting from the first.

East First St., Weatherford, Texas.
The District Interscholastic League
atheltic meet held at Weatherford was
an unqualified success in every par-
ticular. The arrangement of the pro-
gram and its execution attested to
the care and thought expended upon
it by Prof. DeWe^s and R. D. Evans,
the directors. The day was ideal, the
crowd large and good humored, and
the ladies good looking.
While tbie district is composed of
five counties, viz: Parker, Johnson,
Palo Pinto, Hood and Somervell, only
the first three had entries, h»wever,
the entries from these were many and
the competition In every event keen.
The honors of the athletic division
of the meet went to Johnson county,
which took 62 points in Class A, Par-
ker beign second with 47 i and Palo
Pinto third with 38J.
In the totals for both Classes A and
B, Parker leads with 131h points;
Johnson second, with 70; Palo Pinto
third, with 60|.
Cleburne High took the Class A
banner, while the Class B banner
went to the Pythian Home.
Medals, Class A—Fowler, Weather-
ford High, gold; Duff, Mineral Wells,
silver; Richardson, Cleburne, bronze.
Medals, Class B—B. Cherry, Pyth-
ian Home, gold; Boyd, Pythian Home,
silver; Price, Palo Pinto, bronze.
Individual honors in, the Class A
events go to Chester Fowler of Wea-
therford High, who made 20J points,
while those in Class B were taken by
Blair Cherry of the Pythian Horae,
with 25 points to his credit. Both of
these lads are fast, as shown by their
time in the 100 yards dashes, the for-
mer making it in 10.3 and the latter
in 10.2. Owing *to a slight injury to
one of his legs, Fowler was not quite
in the form he exhibited in the T. C.
U. meet when he made the hundrefl
in 10 flat; however, it was only in
this event that he had to exert him-
self, as all his other firsts were taken
with ease. “ It is to be hoped that the
High people will have this man prop-
erly groomed for the state meet at
Austin. If so, he’ll make somebody
step along in the hurdles and the
dashes.
The Pythian Home, as usual, took a
majority of the Class B events, but
not with their accustomed ease, for
Miss Myers, teacher at Fox school,
had two mighty good men in the two
Fielders. They eame out well in the
events which they entered and Miss
Myers should feel proud of the stam-
ina, grit and evidence of faithful
work which they exhibited.
Mr. Evans at the Pythian Home, al-
ways has a good bunch, and the only
reason he hasn’t several state records
at his belt is that as soon as he gets
a man going good and they put long
pants on him, they graduate him, or
put him in charge of a job somewhere.
The Cleburne team deserved to win.
for they exhibited good training, ex-
cellent team work and each man waq
placed on the job for which he was
best fitted and' he went after that job
as if his life depended on it.
Mineral Wells won the tennis match
from Cleburne in three straights.
The events were refereed by Walter
E. Richards of Weatehrford, than
whom there is no more enthusiastic
follower of athletics, and whose de-
cisions are always those of a true
sportsigan.

Debate and Declamation*.
This part of the program attracted
considerable attention by the visitors
and others and was carried out with-
out any hitch, whatever. In fact the
whole meet was one success after an-
other, as each contest in the different
divisions was completed. Prof. A. B.
Fincher, principal of the North Side
school, F’ort Worth, who aetd as judge
in a number of the contests, is credit-
ed with making the statement that he
never saw keener rivalry, yet a more
friendly spirit manifested, in all the
contests. Each student dd his best
to win for him or herself, next for his
school, and if he lost, to feel proud
of the record that was made.
In the debate there were only two
teams present from the district—Wea-
therfdrd and Mineral Wells. The af-
firmative side of the question was
represented by Chas. Green and Roht.
Potter of Mineral Wells, while John
Rieves and Lois Synott of Weather-
ford handled the negative side of the
debate. Weatherford lost to Mineral
Wells by a decision, of 4 to 1. Tbe
young people from Mineral Wells will
have the honor of going to the state
meet .there to contest for the silver
cup.
Spelling Honors to Johnson.
In the spelling contest, the follow-
ing entries were recorded: Tolltba

Hart-Overmire Wedding.
Monday morning at 11:30 o’clock in
the parlors of the parsonage of the
First Baptist church, Weatherford,
Dr. M. E. Weaver officiated at the
marriage of Captain Jack S. Hart and
Miss Bethny Overmire. The marriage
vows taken at the altar by these two
young people was the culmination of
a courtship of long standing, as the
bride and groom were classmates in
the Weatherford public schools some
years ago. The two young people are
very popular in Weatherford and
throughout the county, each possess-
ing a disposition and manner that has
won them friends and admirers in
everyone they have met. The bride
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J.
Overmire of Aledo, and is a charming
and prepossessing young woman,
whom to know is to admire.
The groom, Capt. Jack S. Hart, is a
son of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. M. Hart, and
a young man who has attracted much
attetition during the past year by his
record with the United States ma-
rines on the battlefront in France.
When the United States entered the
war a call was made for volunteers
in the marine service. At that time
Jack Hart was attending Virginia
Military Institute at Staunton, Va.,
and would have graduated in June,
1917, but the faculty permitted the
young men to hurry their work and
they were graduated in April, that
year, and a number of the young men
were commissioned as second lieuten-
ants, among them being Mr. Hart.
He came home for a short stay and
reported at Port Royal, S. C., for duty,
afterwards being transferred to Quan-
tico, Va., the marine naval base. Here
several thousand marines went into
intensive training preparatory for
overseas duty. Before sailing for
France in December, our young friend
was made first lieutenant. He was a
member of the 6th machine gun bat-
talion, sixth regiment. In the spring
of 1917, Lieut. Hart’s regiment was
sent to Beileau Wood, where the
Huns expected to gain an opening

Many Phones Out of Commission.
The storm last Wednesday morn-
ing did greater damage to the tele-
phone service in Weatherford than
was at first thought Some 350 trou-
ble calls have been registered since
the storm and they are still coming.
A large number of these calls have
proved cable troubles and they are
attributed to the heavy lightning that
accompanied the high wind and rain.
Tbe company has called for outside
help and two cable men from Fort
Worth are now working with the Wea-
therford crew in an effort to speedily
correct all troubles.

rine regiment were recruits, they held
the line assigned them, but at a great
sacrifice of men. In June of that
year Lieut. Hart was wounded in the
fool and knee, having part of his boot
blown off and a shell splinter piercing
his knee cap, but this did not send
this courageous lad to the Thar except
tor fist aid, and for forty-five days
be stayed with his company in this
sector. Four days of this time he was
unable to speak on account of being
gassed. After a rest period his com-
mand was transferred to the St. Mi-
hiel front and on September 15th,
while making a charge, he came In
contact with a Hun machine gun bul-
let that broke both bones in his right
fore arm. FYom this wound he was
kept in and around the hospital for
two months, being in Paris the day
the armistice was signed. During the
battle on the St. Mihiei front he was
ip command of a company and for the
courage and bravery exhibited he , was
recommended for a captaincy. Being
anxious to rejoin his command, be
was given permission to return to the
front in search of his personal effects
and by chance he recoverd his sword
that he had carried through the war,
this having fallen into the bands of a
major of his regiment. Shortly after
returning to his command he was giv-
en permission to return to the States
and was sent back as a casual. Capt.
Hart is at home on a sixty-day fur-
lough, at the expiration of which he
will report to Quantico, Va., for ser-
vice.
To Captain and Mrs. Hart the Her-
ald, with scores of others, extend con-
gratulations and best wishes for a
long and happy wedded life.
