ARCHER CITY, TEXAS THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1947 *
Man Who Dug
Old 10-Cent Tank
Is Visitor Here
Jim Wolf and son, whose name we
are unable to learn, of Davidson,
Okla, were business visitors here
Monday. The elder Wolf is a former
resident of Archer county from where
he moved in 1902. Wolf, we-are told,
is the father of an Archer county
landmark which is probably known
to comparatively few residents of Ar-
cher City, and probably long since
forgotten by most of them.
The landmark we have reference to
is the old 10-cent tank situated at
the side of the old Archer City-Wichi-
ta Falls dirt highway approximately
midway between the two cities.
Mr. Wolf claims to have dug the
10-cent tank which gets its cognomen,
according to stories almost legendary,
from the owner i.aving sold water
from it during a terrific drouth for
10-cente a barrel. According to the
stories we heard as a small boy, tnis
tank held all the water there was
in that entire section and people trav-
eling on horseback and in wagons and
buggies were more than glad to pay
the dime for their horses to drink
and for a barrel of water to haul
back home for household consump-
tion.

Old Time Resident
Here Last Friday
George Englehart, of Portland, Or-

F. A. Englehart, cf Oklahoma City,
were visitors here Friday morning.
George Englehart will be well re*
membered by our old-time residents

for a period of 3V4 years, moving
from here in 1911. Englehart was em-
ployed as sales manager by John W.
Harris when the old Club Ranch was
subdivided.

San Antonio to visit George Engle-
hart’s daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Wag-
ner. Another daughter, Mrs. Marjorie
Brodie, is a resident of New York,
and a son. Jimmie, is at hotfle in
Pasadena, Calif.
Mr. Englehart is now engaged in
the real estate business in the city
of Portland.
Legume Growing
Some cf the early pioneers who
stepped cut cn their own and proved
to their neighbors that some legumes
would grow in Archer county need
some recognition as leaders in that
field of work.
The first Austrian winter peas were
planted by L. T. (Luther) Key in
1942 which proved a success beyond
expectation, however as usual not
enough seed were produced to pay
for harvesting. The next year L. J.
Marik, near Megargel in Baylor coun-
ty, had a crop of winter peas which
proved cut alfo to be a success.
In 1943, J. N. (Nick) Schenk, Frank
Luig, C. W. Williams, Ermine Wil-
liams and C. W. Wilhoit attended a
field day at Denton Experiment Sta-
tion to try to determine which legume
might be grown in Archer county to
build up the fast depleting soil.
The conclusion was reached, after
observing the habits of the many le-
gumes planted at the station, that
hairy vetch and biennial sweet clover
would grow in this county. (It al-
ready being known that Austrian
winter peas would). But to see furth-
er about the growing of vetch some
of these same farmers, accompanied
by Agent Wilhoit, visited the Brazos
Valley Ranch, south of Mineral Wells,
to observe the growing and harvest
cf vetch there.
Immediately after the return of the
second trip, 650 pounds of hairy
vetch and biennial sweet clover seed
were ordered by the groups through
the county agent from the Empire
Seed Company. Temple, Texas.
The biennial sweet* clover proved
to be a good producer where properly
sowed, but grasshoppers had such a
yearning for it that it was not prac-
tical to t,ry further.
The hairy vetch, in spite of all the
warning we had from various agri-
cultural informal .’vs, did grow in
Archer county rod two fields have
the third crop this year with the one
planting.
Recognition i3 due to fellows like
L. T. Key, ■/. F. Luig, Joe Hoffman,
J. N. and John Schenk who knowing
their lands was becoming less fertile
each year and would some day be too
low in production to maintain a living,

for crops that wBl not only build up
the soil but can be utilized as a feed
crop.
1.73 Inch Deluge
Fell Here Thursday
Archer City and immediate sur-
rounding territory was paid a visit
by the rain god late last Thursday
who delivered a downpour of near
torrential proportions measuring 1.73
inches, most of which fell within an
hour. Since then, however. Old Man
Summer has returned with a vehem-
ence that today leaves no evidence
that that much rain has ever fallen
here. Neither is it noticeable now that
a couple or three weeks ago this sec-
tion was in the grip of a cool spell
■that removed the discomforts of a
coat.
Week end guests in the Sam K.
Horany home were Mr. Horany’s sis-
ter-in-law, Mrs. Annie Horany, and
two daughters, Mrs. Mae Whitehead
and Miss Bertha Horany, Mrs. White-
head’s daughter, Mrs. Pete Wills and
daughter, Gaylene, all of Oklahoma
City. This was the elder Horany’s
first visit with one another since
1929.
Other week-end guests in the Hor-
any home were Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Horany and sons, Albert and Richard,
of Longview, Texas, and Mrs. N.
Mahfood, of Detroit, Mich., who was
accompanying them home for a visit.

ployees of Kamay were hosts to the
Deep Oil employees of Chalk Hill at
a big fish fry Monday night at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Bridges
in Kamay. And the word “big” ap-
plies literally, according to informa-
tion given us by Mrs. Dick Burney,
one of the 125 folk present. Fish from
Diversion Lake were fried in a wash
pot full of grease—and French fries
and other trimmin’s went with it

East Side Home
Damaged By Fire
The Clarence Hannah home was
damaged by fire last Saturday night
at about 9:30 o’clock. The fire re-
sulted from Mrs. Hannah’s having
left an electric iron attached and
turned cn when, at about 6 p. m.,
some of the family was rushing her
to get off to Wichita Falls. When
they returned home at about 9:30, the
house was full cf smoke. The iron
had ignited the ironing board which
in turn had burned a hole in the
floor and completely ruined a radio-
phonograph near it. Considerable
smoke damage w-a, done. As the
nearest telephone was a few blocks
away, the Hannahs had the flame al-
most extinguished by the time the
fire truck arrived, according to Fire
Chief John Robinson. Robinson stat-
ed that if the wall nearest the flamt
had not been hheetrock, the entire
house would likely have burned.

Mr. and Mre. Johnny Linscott and
children, Billy, Donnie and Johnny,
and Miss Betty Sprott returned home
Thursday night from a two weeks
vacation trip to Colorado Springs,
Salt Lake City, Yellowstone Nation-
al Park and intermediate points of
interest. The Linscotts then went to
Atoka, Okla., Friday to visit until
Sunday with John’s mother and broth-
er. They were accompanied home by
his niece, Gordie Jean Linscott, for
a week’s visit here. The Luther Wake-
field family, whom the Linscotts ac-
companied as far as Yellowstone,
went from there to Spokane, Wash.,
to visit Luke’s brother, Joe, and fam-
ily.
More Contributions I Who Killed
Needed For Upkeep j Cock Robbin ... ?
Of City Cemetery
Mayer Roy E. Heard announced this
morning that slightly more than $100
is needed to insure upkeep of the city
cemetery for the remainder of this
year.
The rains of last Thursday gave
new life to the weeds and grass and
they are now in need of cutting and
mowing, and it is probable the job
will require doing again in September.
If you have- not contributed to this
worthy cause, please do so at once.
Hand or mail your contributions to
Mayor Heard.
Bangs Infected Cows
Must Be Branded
House Bill 525 which was made law
in the State Legislature, provides that
a letter "B” must be placed on the
!®ft jaw of animals teBted for Bangs
Disease and found to be infected.
A penalty is placed on the owner
who refuses to let the brand be plac-
ed on the animal, er on those who sell
or dispose of cattle for milking pur-
poses.
This law should need no enforce-
ment. Every milch cow owner should
have the good health interest of his
fellowman 'at heart and think of chil-
dren who have to have wholesome
milk and dispose of any infected
animal that might bring ill health
to anyone. A personal responsibility
should be felt by those concerned.
Orval Slack, cousin of Jerry Slack,
of Holliday, and himself a resident of
Archer county some—well, some few.
or many years ago—was visiting old
friends here Monday. Slack now makes
his home at Lubbock.
About the only line we have been
able to get on the aggregate number
of years which have gone, by since
he left Archer county is that he at-
tended ecnool at Baxter with Verda
Durham—now Mrs. Dan Powell—
which would place the date of his de-
parture from Archer county some-
time—well, perhaps during The News
editor's 3-cornered pants era.
VOLUNTEER FIREMEN

Discarded Maytag
Reported Stolen
Theft of an outmoded Maytag wasn-
ing machine was reported to Sheriff

erators of the city laundry.
According to Gosler, the machine,
gasoline powered, had been set out

that it was probably stolen by an
itinerant junk man. No trace of it

owner of a big truck load of cedar
posts unloaded last February near
Scotland. The man on whose premises
the pests were unloaded reported the
incident to Sheriff Gosler a few days
ago, saying they were unloaded by
two young men who said they would
return for them in a few days, but
never returned.
Dutch stated that he expects a
large number of claimants for the
posts.
We a^ked if they were equipped
with post holes and he answered “No,r

that George Abercrombie will be in-
cluded among those not laying claim
to them.
Ted Coleman and Carter McGregor,

Fire Chief John
Takes New Course
At Fireman’s School
Fire Chief John Robinson returned
Saturday from College Station where
he tcok a five-day short course at
the fireman’s school held last week
at Texas A. & M. college. Chief John,
who had in a number of previous
years taken the basic fireman’s
ccurse, this year took the building in-
structor’s course, a new instruction
added this year.
The fire chief’s attending the school
cost the city less than $50.00 and
at the same time entitled Archer City
to a 3% fire insurance rate reduction,
which means hundreds of dollars.
In the fire insurance manual issued
by the State Fire Insurance Com-
mission. Archer City is shown with
an exceptionally good fire record.
With a 1940 population of 1675 people
and a key rate of 45 cents, the city
attained a credit rate of 25 cents. In
the fire department of one paid em-
ployee (the chief) and 20 volunteers,
plus 3 vehicles in 1946 the net pae-
mium paid was $5972 with net losses
totaling only $372. Over the 5 year
period from 1942 through 1946, net
premiums amounted to $23,134 and
losses $981.
The key rate of fire insurance is
established at the State Commiasiou
and based on the total amount of loss-
es in the city per year. In other
words, the less damage done by fires,
the lower the rate for each and every
fire insurance policy holder. If your
neighbor suffers s great loss by fire,
you help make it up to the commis-
sion by a compulsory higher rate.
Chief Robinson stated that there
was the largest crowd, including the
54 instructors, that had ever attend-
ed one of the fireman's schools. Texas
City had the largest representation
of any city with 10 firemen present.
