NEAR LAKE WORTI
Scout Master T, W. Hook, accom
panted by Eagle Scouts Dan Knox,
Thomas Parsons, Sam CamP and
Bdb Hartness, went to Fort Worth,
Tuesday afternoon, and spent Tues-
day night and Wednesday as the
guests of Robroy Price and Jim Boyer

sttuated on North Lake * Worth,
where they enjoyed a fine program
and supper by lantern and camp fire
light, ^n fact, an initiation cere-
mony, with a half dozen of the Fort
Worth Eagles were present and
participated in the ceremonies.
On Washington’s Birthday, the par-
ty secured boats and explored Goat
Island, the leading^point of interest
around the lake, had dinner on the
island and enjoyed a tnost wonderful
day. In the afternoon the boys were
taken to the gymnasium of the Bap-
tist church where they enjoyed fine
baths and rub downs, and witnessed
some athletic exhibitions such as
fancy tumbling, etc. They then at-
tended a good show at the Majestic
theatre and returned hojhe, the hap-
piest scouts ever known.
The four boys going from Weather-

EagleB, and have passed tests and
qualified in numerous events such
as life saving, swimming, cooking,
gardening, music, etc. Some of the
scouts have as many as nine merit
badges. In fact there are ten merit
badge scouts in the loeal troupe, but
for various reasons only these four
could attend.

TWO DOZEN ANCONA"'
HENS PRODUE $45
SINCE OCTOBER
Last spring, or just about one
year ago, Jno. T. Davidson of the
Balch' community secured 96 eggs of
the Ancona variety, batched them
out with the result that he had 24
Ancona' pullets, to start laying the
first of last October. Since that time
these 24 hens have been continuous-
ly laying, and Mr. Davidson said
Wednesday that he has sold eggs
to the amount of $45, or nearly $2
worth from each hen. Mr. Davidson
seems to be fully justified in the
Ancona enthusiasm with which he
is afflicted. In fact he is so much
enthused that he Is Just now com-
pleting a home built incubator of a
350 egg capacity, on which he is
installing a temperature guaging de-
vice, of his own invention. This
guage works on the principle of
float valuve, and he believes will
regulate the heat so that the temp-
perature will not vary more than
one degree. The- conrivance will he
governed by the discs inside of the
incubator, in which the expansions
will force a lever to lower the flame-
in the lamp.
Mr. Davidson has constructed the
Incubator from first class materia],
and it is in every respect as- good
as any manufactured. The cost’ is
far less.
In speaking of the Ancona breed
of chickens, he stated that the hens
have the reputation# of never setting
or even desiring to brood and so far
his 24 pullets have not shown the
least inclination’to let up on the egg
production.

We wish to thank all of our dear
friende and neighbors for their kind
and faithful assistance to us during
the illness and death of our dear
beloved husband, father, son and

May God’s richest blessings rest

BULL DOGS HESITATE IN
. ATTACKING BRER WOLF
A -
More than one hundred “fans”,
gathered at the Arena In the rear
of Waiter Swofford’s Produce House
on Fort Worth street one evening
this week to witness a fight be-
tween a wolf and various bull dogs.
is siad that five or six of the
best known fighters in town were
placed In the cage with brer wolf
before one was found that would
engage in combat. Some of the
dogs would show some fight at the
start but none of them would engage
in a death struggle until the Oxford
bull dog was called upon. The wolf
was then killed.

Porter Brown, who now lives in
Carlsbad, N. M„ came in Wednesday
and will spend a few days with

v Baptist Workers Meeting.
Let everybody remember that there
will be a worker*’ meeting at Beulah
church, seven miles west of Weather-
ford, next Monday night and Tuesday.
The same program that was gotten up
for a -month ago at the same place
Dr. M. Campbell informs the
Herald that we are under obligations
to furnish him with a secretary to,
anwer correpondence in regard to his
boll weevil machine, because of the
wide publicity given the invention
by the publishing of the exclusive
descriptive artcle in last week’s
Heral^. Dr Campbell stated that he
has received phone calls, letters and
personal requests for demonstrations
all as a result of the story in the
Herald.
That the Herald is the best adver-
tising medium in the county, the
inventor is willing to admit, and the
great volume of inquires pouring into
his office is sufficient testimony to
convince the most skeptical.
While the majority of the inquir-
ies are from the Weatherford trade
territory, which is. fully covered hy
the Weekly Herald, yet he has re-
ceived letters from the big state
papers, dsiring photographs and de-
ceptive literature. The management
of the Fat Stock Show in Fort Worth
after reading' the. article in the Her
aid, wrote Do Campbell asking that
the machine be Placed on exhibition
during the shory! assuring him that
the machine would' he given a prom-
inent location in the exhibit hall.
This matter is being given considera-
tion and in all probability the ma-
chine will be exhibited there, where
It will be viewed by thousands from
ail over Texas and Oklhaoma.
