INVESTIGATE BEFORE GOING

SERVICE TRUCKS
We understand a number* of peo-
ple who live in "Parker ' county are
trying to dispose of~their crops and
thinking of moving to West Texas
with the expectation of picking cot-
ton during the fall months. We
fear a great mapy of them will
make a mistake In doing so. Re-
cent reports from portions of the
w.est, where a few days ago the
crop was very promising, are to
the effect that the rains of the past
two weeks have damaged the crop
Very materially and what, only 'a
short time ago, promised to be a
big crop will be only a- light one.
The Herald wants to see all the
people do the very best possible
but would f advise the farmers to
investigate conditions where they
think of going, before they dispose
of their holdings here. There have
been times in the past when people
sold fair crops and disposed of
their surplus stock and machinery
and in some cases practically all
their household goods and left for
other sections of the state, expect-
ing to find work at good wages and
after the moves have been made,
found their condition no better and
perhaps not so good. We would
advise all who anticipate leaving
the county to first go and make a
thorough investigation and be sure
you can better, your condition »be-
fore making an expensive mover
Last Sunday night the "congrega-
tion of the First Methodist church
went in a body to the First Pres-
byterian church in this city where
serving were held. The First Pres-
byterian church is without a pas-
tor and has been since the resigna-
tion of Rfiv. S. J. McMurray several
weeks ago, only ' a few services
have been held. Dr. John R. Nelson
pastor of the First Methodist church
preached an inspiring sermon. This
was an exhibition of true Christian
fellowship, and is worthy of the
emulation of the churches of our
land. i

Henry Erwin at Home.
Henry Erwin, who has been In
Kansas for the past month or six
weeks, passed through Weatherford
Sunday afternoon enroute _ for his
home at Poolville. He went to
Kansas early in August where he
identified the Dodge car which his
son^ Herschel Erwin was driving
when he disappeared the 29th of
last April. He recovered the car
after some difficulty, and brought it
vfith him. Henry has been very
active during the past month, and
it was due to his untiring efforts
with the assistance of Kansas of-
ficers that J.~ W. Lowman was ar-
rested on a charge of car theft.
He was pretty well' worn out while
here and had very little to say. He

B. Y. P. U. Social
Friday evening at 8:00 o’clock,
the members, pf the North Side
Baptist B. Y. P. U. met with quite
a number of friends in the base-
ment of the church. The program
for the evening began with music
and was followed by a very serious
and dramatic debate. ’Resolved that
a long rat with a short tall ‘ Is a
better rat than a short rat with a
long tail. Next there was a nystor
romance which was followed by a
series of tableaux (moving and
talking wuen necessary) that proved
highly entertaining to every one.
Bluebeard and his wives were
there. So were Queen Elizabeth
and Sir Whiter Raleigh, Achilles
and Hector, Cinderella and the
prince, Alexander and Bucephelas,
Circe and the swine. All were
there in their finery or sags as the
case might be; ‘and, incidentally,
Queen Elizabeth carried an umbrel-
la and Cinderella’s foot did not fit
the slipper. At the windhp of the
tableaux. Juliet from the balcony
and Romeo who twanged his gui-
tar from below sang their advice
to unfortuhate lovers.
The crowd was divided in lv6
equal groups for the track meet
which came next on the program
and each siile vied, with the other
for the lovjng cup that was the
winner’s prize. This was a very
enjoyable part -of the evening's fun
for everyone present could have a
part in some of the dozen contests.
This was a regular track meet be-
cause there were broad jumps, dis-
cus throws, relay races, high jumps,
etc. There wrere also heron, bum-
blebee and grasshopper contests, lob
ster races and elepbant-pull-aways.
And lastly Ice cream cones were
peeved to the seventy five or more
persons present.
