Those who worship at the Bap-
tist church realize the importance
of erecting a new building of suffi-
cient size to accommodate the ever-
increasing membership, and to re-
lieve the present congested coii-
ditions concerning the lack of ac-
commodations for the Sunday
school classes, and )Lhe various
church organizations, and they,
too, realize that if a new church is
built it must be one which will, in
architectural arrangement be in
keeping with the importance of the
town. Those who have been ap-
pointed on the soliciting committee
to raise funds have met with great-
er success than their most san-
guine anticipations seemed pos-
sible, and they are now quite opti-
mistic as to the final outcome, and
they believe it is not going to be a
herculean task to raise the requir-
ed estimate of $60,000.
John Cage is treasurer of the
fund, and he expresses himself not
only as being optimistic but unus-
ually well pleased at actual re-
sults, as about $25,000 have al-
ready been pledged. He states that
an unusually liberal attitude pre-
vails among all classes in favor of
giving liberally toward the fund
which promises a building which
will be the pride of the city.
There are large numbers of ex-
citizens of Stephenville living at
various places in yexas who have

He Said
'The Tractor will enable the farmer to *
work fewer hours in the day, giving him
more time to enjoy life. J believe the trac-
tor will make farming what it ought to be
—the most pleasant, the most healthful,
the most profitable busitiess on earthV*
This tractor has done much—very much—
in bringing true Mr. Ford’s prophecy; for in
it is a machine which has harnessed one of
the most dependable, efficient, adaptable,
economical sources of power in the world—
a machine that saves from thirty to fifty
per cent of the farmer’s time — a machine
which many farmers claim plows, harrows
or drills as much ground in the same time
as four, six or even eight horses. And more
—a machine that takes care of every power
job on the farm.
Call and let’s talk it over, or telephone or
drop us u card and we will bring the facts to you.
