The day was ideal; the crowd a jol-

There was no accident to mar the
success of the trip, but many things
occurred which added to the pleasure
of the party.
ers in our entertainment, we knew
that something out of the ordinary
was in store. Most all on the trip
were well acquainted here, and It was
like a big house party—we were shak-

Word was passed down the line to
close up the stores and everybody as-
sembled at the city hall. This was
promptly done. Clarence Kidd, for

into Fort Worth was reached, you just
couldn’t hold the cars down to a 20-
mile rate, and the run into the city
was made in—well, we won’t give the
exact time, for our watches stopped.
Our route into Fort Worth wras
down Throckmorton street and before
we hardly knew it, we were driving
into H. H. lewis’ big garage at the
corner of Fifth street. Here we brush-
ed up and scattered over the city un-
til the appointed hour for lunch. For
lunch wc had as our guests R. O.
McCormack, secretary of the Fort
XVorth Chamber of Commerce and Mr.
Ivcslie. reporter for the Star-Telegram.
(The Record reporter failed to make
connection, but the invitation was ex-
tended.)
Mr Christian, proprietor of the
Westbrook, took pains to see that ev-
erything was in readiness at the ap-
pointed hour and that all were provid-
ed for. The ride of the morning had
whetted our appetites and the whole
party. 85 in number, enjoyed the re-
past.
The hour of departure was 12:30,
but as Mr. Lewis had engaged to have
a picture made of the entire party,
with the cars in front and around the
corner of his building, we were de-
layed fifteen minutes. Upon leaving
the city we crossed over to Houston
and Main, around the courthouse,
across the river, through North Fort
XVorth and Rosen Heights on to Azle,
where we arrived at 1:35.
Glad Hand at A ale.
The citiaens of this community
greeted us cordially, giving us the
glad hand. Though only partly in
Parker county, Azle citizens are
friends and patrons of Weatherford
hey market a great deal of their cot-
ton here, patronize our merchants,
pay taxes, etc. However, from expres-
sions heard, we believe Weatherford
could and should have more trade
from this territory, and the reason
we don’t get it. Is because there are
better roads leading into Fort Worth
At Azle we met Judge Temple, mem-
bers of the commissioners court, and
Joe Neal, who had come from Weath-
erford in order to Inspect bridge and
road work that Commissioners Chap-
man and Tucker had been supervis-
ing.
(lit Had Hoad Stretch.
The worst stretch of road w* enl
countered was between Azle and Re-
no. but we are informed that by doub-
ling back on the Fort XXorth road a
mile we would have had a graveled
road into Reno. Undaunted, we ar-
rived on time and were warmly
greeted. After an exchange of friend-
ly greetings. G. A. Holland introduced
Mr. Kuteman and Rev. \\. L.- Nelms,
who made short talks, expressing our
friendship for all sectionsi the neces-
sity for the entire county to Be united
by the strongest ties of co-operation,
both in community-building and mark-
eting of our products.
The run to Springtown, our last
stop, wan made on schedule time, ar-
riving there at 3:30 p. m. We were
warmly received and heartily wel-
comed At every stop, but when the
This being the case, we need organi-
zation, for only in this way can any-
thing be accomplished for tlie good
of the community. The young men of
today were advised to get. a scientific
education by attending A. & M. Col-
lege, rather than endeavoring to equip
themselves in law or medicine. That
we do not have to depend on cotton
exclusively is made clear by the ex-
ample of Oklahoma. Kansas and Mis-
souri, whose people are more pros-
perous than ours. While we cannot
produce the com that these states do,
there are many other products we can
produce successfully when scientific
principles are applied. Do not critl-
’ cise science as applied to farming, for
i everything you wear and every imple-
ment used on the farm conge from a
I scientific study. By intelligent organ-

Nelms is Reminiscent.
Dr. W. L. Nelms responded to calls
Like Mr. Kuteman. he had had some
early experiences in Springtown com-
munity: he assisted in an old-fash-
ioned camp meeting at Goshen church

Leaving Time Ton Soon.
H was now about 5 o'clock and
w'hile our party was loth to leave such
good friends and royal treatment, we
were reminded that night was ap-
proaching and some of us had to give
an account of courselves if we did not
arrive home before evening.
And this ended the second and big-
gest trade excursion for Weatherford.
