January has been found to
be undesirable for the popula-

and heavy storms in the
northern, northwestern and
Becky mountain states delay-
ed the returns of enumerators
considerably during the 1920

decided that this disadvan-

200 Shelby County Boy* and
Girl* Feast Ail Comer* at
Hermann Park on Final
Day of Visit Here.
Houston, Tex., Aug. 1.—
More than 20.000 Houstonian*
were served from the 1000
watermelons distributed at
Hermann Park Friday night
by members of the Shelby
County Agricultural Club,
who camped there Wednes-
day. Thursday and Friday, C.
P. Scurtock, county agricul-
ture! agent, and Miss Zola
Mae Hill, demonstration
agent, lenders of the camp, es-
timated Friday.
At 7:45 p. m. Friday the
elub ‘boys and girk commenc-
ed serving occupants, of the
dozens of autos already lined
up waiting for their turn.
A truck load of melons was
given away over the city.
The watermelons, weighing
■from 35 to 05 pounds, and
“Made in Shelby County,”
were cut in 16 to 20 slices.
Thousands of autoists passed
the camp, lingering long
enough to get a generous slice
of melon, then moving onward
to make room for the next. A
number lingered for a second
serving, but Mr. Scnrlack’s
tiesrty, “Have to drive on
brother. Afraid wo aren’t go-
ing to have enough to go
around as it is,” sent them sat-
isfied on tfic'r way.
By 9:45 the club boys and
girls were gathering up the
last rinds of the last melon.
From then on the camp lead-
ers were stationed in the road
■to inform approximately
40,000 Houstonians that they
were too late for the feast.
The famous “Shelby County
Caravan,” 200 strong, arrived
in Houston Wednesday and
was escorted to Hermann
Park by E. G. Eagleston, Burt
Rule, D. S. Parker and Miss
Vivian Weaver, officials of
the chamber of commerce.
While in Houston, the elub
toys and girk were guests of
the chamber of commerce. Mr.
Eigieston was in charge of the
arrangements for the tourists.
The campers left Saturday
morning «t 5 a. m. for the re-
turn trip. They arrived at
Center shortly after 7 p. m.,
and were met by the Center
band and the business men
tod citizens of the city, ac-
cording to messages received
here. Refreshments and cold
drinks wore se-.;cd the re-
turning heroes.
Leaders of the camp seem-
ed modest abcut asserting
themselves concerning the
splendid organization of the
camp. The entire trip of the

Besides Mr. Scuiloek and
Mies Kill, other members in
charge of ihe camp were: T.
G. Carroli, Mrs. Hugh James
and Mrs. J. W. Pa.nl and Kiss
Elizabeth Powell.
Packed into 31 autos and
trucks, the boys and girts
iq^de the entire trip without
accident. With the aid of a
portable kitchen, acid supplies
of canned fruits and vege-
tables, canned by members
thtniseives, they were able to
furnish all their own food.
While in Houston a trip was
