%■ The editor ol the Herald was shown
some hospital garments at headquar-
Monday morning that had been
by members of the auxiliary
fe ill different parts of the coun-
ty. The neatness of the work was es-
pecially noticeable and commented on
• the Chatman, Mrs. White, who said
auxiliaries were doing splendid
work, la fact they were working up
the garments faster than the mother
• could fnrnish the material.
None Of these garments are made by
the ladies of Weatherford, who put in
Uieir time on surgical dressings, knit-
ting and cutting.
The chapter is now engaged in mak-
i«g seventy-five comfort kits for the
Midlers. This number was the allot-
ment given this chapter from Wash-
I lagton. The following articles go in
the comfort kits, and the Red Cross
ladies would like as many of them
donated as possible:
cX*e»eils. postals, knives, mirrors
handkerchiefs (khaki-colored),
«|ectric. torches, compasses, playing
other games, tobacco, shaving

- arettes and papers, water tight match
boxes, chewing gum foot powder, cold
cream, tooth brushes, tooth powder,
The Revival Has Begun
The revival meeting on the East
Side has begun and we are expecting
great results. Mr. Witherspoon spoke
Sunday night on the subject, “Ye are
the light of the world,” and brought
to our minds new truths. Mr. Wither-
spoon spoke of people who were so
narrow minded that they would not
worship with other Christians; they
reminded him, he said, of a hen who
was given two brooks of chickens, but
fought one away, saying, “get away
from here, you were not hatched in
my nest." “These people,’ said Mr.
Witherspoon, “have setting-hen relig-
ion.”
Everybody come tonight. Rev. J.
N. McCain will preach for us. Tues-
day night Rev. W. M. Bunch is to
preach. Further announcements will
be made later. REPORTER.

The rainfall at Weatherford Satur-
day night was 38-100 of an inch as re-
ported by the government registers
here. The rain caught many people
down town and the jitneys did a big
business. There were about 200 sol-
diers in town and it was past mid-
Blght before the cars quit running
taking them to camp.

COMMISSIONER, PLACE N0.2.
Battery A broke camp Sunday and
returned to Camp Bowie on the trucks.
One of the trucks went into a ditch
between Aledo and Benbrook, but for-
tunately no one was seriously hurt.
Only one of the men received any
bruises and they were ocacsioned by
box being thrown against him on
the truck.
Battery B and headquarters com-
pany returned to Camp Bowie Mon-
day, Battery B going in on the trucks
and headquarters company on their
horses.
At the present only two batteries,
Eand C, are at Camp Joffre, besides
the regimental officers and extra men
on detail service. It is said that both
these batteries will have finished their
firing by Tuesday evening. No infor-
mation is available as to whether the
men will go back to Camp Bowie
Wednesday or Thursday.
When the property was leased for
the government, arrangements were
made for only one month. This date

Were made with the owners of the

8HALL WEATHERFORD BUS-
INESS MEN VI8IT RANGERZ
mm
One of the matters that will fee de-
cided upon at the Chamber of Coatr-
merce tonight will be the proposed:
trade excursion to the Ranger oit
fields by the business men of Weotbr
erford. Inasmuch as Weatherford has.
already become tbe permanent home-
of a number of citizens wbo are in-
terested in the oil fields at Ranger, it
is very important that we visit that
section and inform those people of tho-
raany advantages we offer for those-
seeking a place to make their perma-
nent home. Weatherford is only a
few hours run by auto from this oil
field and we should be able to interest-
a number of other Ranger citizens ini-
moving to our town, where they will;
have all modern conveniences, good-
schools, churches, etc.
Be on hand at the mayor’s office to-
night at 8:30 o’clock and let us plan*
for the trip.
Old Ladies’ Party.
Honoring her mother, Mrs. N. J.
Springer, on her 74th birthday, her
daughter, Mrs. J. C. Massey, planned
a delightful surprise party for her in-
timate friends on Thursday afternoon
from 2 till 6 o’clock. So well was the
secret kept that the honoree, who was
born in Jefferson county, Alabama, in
1844, near the city of Birmingham, was
indeed overwhelmed with surprise
when her friends began arriving laden
with gifts and flowers.
About twenty-five ladies, some of
whom were cotemporary and others
of the younger age, were assembled in
the pleasant flower-decked parlors,
one of whom, being of a statistical
turn of mind, made a census of the
combined ages of the party, which
greatly to the astonishment of all pres-
ent, totaled 1,198 years.
That youth has no advantage of age
was amply proven by the merriment
and laughter with which these old
ladies, most of them past the meridian
of life, enjoyed the occasion, while
they plied their industrious needles
lor the Red Cross knitting department.
Later on in the afternoon the hos-
tess served a delicious ice cream and
Hooverized cakes to the following
guests: Mesdames Ben Hartley, Den-
ton, J. P. Webster, R. B. Alexander,
J. S. Smith, H. C. Shropshire, S. A.
Davis, Barbour Noland, A. M. Rider,
Lee Walker, R. W. Bonner, J. T. Mel-
ton, A. G. Drake, Henry Miller, G- A.

ie Massie. X-
