The main reason the public square
and the main streets of the city are
not being sprinkled just now is be-
cause the funds are not sufficient to
meet the expenses. This very essential
service has ben supported by voluntary
subscriptions of a very few people of
the city and the measley sum of $25
per week will not now pay a man and
team and buy the water, and this
amount will have to be doubled before
j the sprinkler will be started. The
I amount that has been contributed for
this work in the past has been paid
willingly by just a very few business
!men and epry firm and person who
uses the streets, and that includes
every citizen, has received the bene-
fits.
Tomorrow' (Tuesday) a committee of
several citizens will call upon every
business and professional man in the
city, and an effort will be made to
raise the subscription to at least $45
per week, and that amount will Just
barely get us by, especially during
the dry, hot and dusty weeks that are
to follow. There is not a firm in the
city that could uot contribute as much
as one dollar per month, and that sum
from everyone of the business and pro-
fessional men in the city would be
ample to keep down the dust.
During the dry, hot days, it takes
lots of water to keep down the dust
on the square and the main streets in
the business section of the city, and
water costs money. It takes money to
feed a team now and it is tjot right
to ask a man to furnish a team and
do the work at the price that was paid
several years ago. We have been up
against this same proposition several
times during the past years and a few
more dollars have been added to t«e
subscriotion and the sprinkling has
been resumed. In the past several
firms have refused to contribute to
this fund, but we are in hopes that the
dust nuisance of the past few weeks
has made converts of the non-progres-
sives, and that when the committee
rputs the matter up to them Tuesday
they will get right and help support the
street sprinkler, that people who visit
the city as well as those who are forc-
ed to stay in places of business do so
with some comfort.
Will Open Business in Ranger.
W. H. Arnett, who has been working
in Ranger for the past several months,
informed a Herald reporter Monday
that he would open up a large hard-
ware store in Ranger on September 1.
Two other gentlemen will be associ-
ated with Mr. Arnett in the enterprise.
A large building has been leased for a
term of years and stock for the new
business will begin arriving in a few
days. Mr. Arnett’s many friends in
Weatherford wish him every success in
his new' business venture.

Burglars Secure Money and Watch.
Burglars entered the home of Geo.
Bavousett Sunday night, took his trou-
sers to the back yard and relieved
them of his watch and about $100 In
money and checks and make good their
escape. Entrance to the home was
probably made through a window, the
screen of which was unfastened. The
watch was valued at $35. There is no
clue as to who committed the crime,
but doubtless the perpetrator was ac-
quainted with the fact that Mr. Bavou-
sett carried the money with him.

Ballew Springs Votes School Tax.
At an election held Saturday, the
Ballew Springs school district voted 12
to 7 in favor of a special school tax of
50 cents on the $100 property valua-
tion. The voting of this tax gives
every two-teacher school in the county
a special maintenance tax, with the ex-
ception of one school.
Superintendent Craven reports that
a majority of the schools in the county
have now contracted for teachers for
A trade was Anally closed -Monday
morning in which the Producers Pipe
Line Company bought of L. G. Coff-
man 40 acres of land out of the south-
west corner of his place on Sanchez
creek, seven miles southwest of this
city, the consideration being $6,000
cash.
This deal has been in progress sev-
eral weeks and the Producers com-
pany proposes to use the land on which
to construct a pumping station for the
line they are running from Fort Worth
to the Ranger field. The line is com-
pleted though the county and several
pieces of the machinery for the pump-
ing plant are now stored in Weather-
ford. It is understood that the con-
struction work will start during the
next few days and finished to comple-
tion.
This is an ideal location, as there is
a supply of water on the land. It is
probable that a large reservoir will
be constructed.
Some Good Tomato Yields.
Miss Myrtle Murray visited a num-
ber of her canning clubs last week and
in a majority of cases she found the
members busy and the Interest good.
She reports that two members of the
Wampler club have gathered and can-
ned 1,000 pounds of tomatoes from
their one-tenth acre patches, and they
think they will be able to get at least
500 pounds more from the vines. The
giris are Miss Topaz Shoemaker and
Miss Velta Chaney. This is.an extra
good production and shows what can
be produced in the county with proper
preparation and scienfiAc cultivation.
Miss Mildred White of the New Hope
club has gathered from her plot some-
thing over 600 pounds and has produc-
ed several tomatoes that weighed one
pound.
The club girls who live near Spring-
town are making preparations to at-
tend the community club meeting,
which will be a meeting of Mr. With-
ers’ club boys and Miss Murray’s girls,
at Springtown, Tuesday, August 12th.
This promises to be a great meeting.
