It is said by wholesale handlers
of butter fat that the season
is fully thirty days ahead of time
storage this season, and also the
output showa a big increase over
former years. Wholesalers are
not very optimistic about the fu-
ture, as all the big trading cen-
ters are fully supplied with but-
ter, and the market is demoraliz-
ed. They advise farmers to mar-
ket frequently, and also to im-
prove the quality of their pro-
ducts. Butter fat testing less
than 30 per cent is likely to be
undesirable. If over four days
old it will not pass.
The city council discussed at
its Tuesday meeting some of the
problems connected with the
water works, there being a loss
each month of something like
$260, owing to the cost of labor,
and fuel, and something must be
done to lessen this cost. This
will eventually be solved in a sat-
isfactory way. But there is really
little chance for abandoning the
present plant, and seeking a lo-
cation on higher ground, as this
would cause an entire loss of the
present plant together with the
four wells now in use. The plant
will be electrified and this will
decrease the cost of operation.
With money from the sale of
bonds the plant can be electrified,
and in addition a lot of new mains
will be laid, and sections reached
which are now without city water.
Aa«w plant would not permit an
extension of the system because
there will not be money enough.
Mr. Joiner Cole and Miss Viv-
ian Braswell were married in
Rico Tuesday evening at the home
of the bride’s parents, Rev. and
Mrs. Braswell. The Rev. Mr.
Braswell is pastotr of the Metho-
dist church at Hico and is well
known thru this section. Mrs.
Cole also has many friends in
Stephenville and adjoining terri-
tory.
Mr. Cole is one of the most
prominent young business men in
Hico and is at the present con-
nected with the Hico oRller Mills.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire through the Tribune
to express our gratitude to
friends and neighbors who were
like ministering angels during the
late illness of our husband and
father, Geo. McDermott, and we
invoke the blessings of God for
them throughout life. We are
glad we live in a community
blessed with such neighbors.—
Mrs. L .H. McDermott and chil-
dren.
DEAN DAVIS RETURNS
FROM TRIP TO AUSTIN
For the past four weeks Dean
Davis has been in Austin attend-
ing to business, and appeared for
the first time since his return, in
chapel Tuesday morning. In a
short talk he told us something of
the work being done by our
graduates in the University. These
students, according to the regis-
trar at the University, are con-
sidered exceptionally good pupils
several of which have secured
student assistantships in their
second year. These boys and
girls are not only making a name
for themselves, but are putting
Tarleton on the map at the same
time. Tarleton College is the
highest ranking Junior College in
Texas at the present time.
Dean Davis dined Sunday with
the Tarleton Alumni at Austin,
among which were C. Chamber-
lin, D. Jackson, S. White, and
other old friends.
WATER WORKS PLUMPER
The City Water Works is now
in position to do your plumbing.
Mr. McMahan, who has been con-
nected with them the past two
years as lineman has contracted
to do all plumbing for the city
and will be able to handle any
outside work also.—Call for Mr. |
McMahan at City Water Works.
Phone 261. - 19-2* i
CARD OF THANKS
In this way we wish to thank
our friends and neighbors for the
kindness shown during the ill-
ness and death of our beloved
wife and mother.—Gould Wood-
ward and Children.
City officers are now collecting
the annual dog tax. If you own
a valuable dog you had better ar-
range to protect his life by pay-
ing over to the city the usual
meagre annual stipend. The dog
now needs your assistance, and
.the city needs the tax money.
RAT-KILLING CONTEST
The rat-killing contest in Erath
county closed on the last day of
April, but up to the hour the
Tribune went to press only four
official contests had been reported
to Luther Burleson, secretary of
the chamber of commerce. It is
well known that rat-killing or-
ganizations had been perfected all
over the county, as the three big
prizes offered by the chamber of
commerce was very tempting, and
why full reports were not prompt-
ly submitted is a mystery, as the
public wants to know how many
rats were killed. So far Huckaby
is far ahead of any district which
has reported, and is good for the
$50 prize as the contest now
stands. If she wins citizens there
are going to add another $50 and
present the $100 to their ball
team boys, who will use it for
the purchase of equipment, and
those Huckabay ball twirlers will
be a very happy lot. Here is the
reports on the number of rats
killed:
Huckabay club_________6,800
Oakdale club___________3,398
Stephenville district____ 946
Scarborough club_______ 942
These are official reports, and
are properly signed and authenti-
cated.
WILD-CAT STILL FOUND
MAY FETE
On Thursday evening, May 5,

College drill grounds. Queen of
May will be crowned in a fairy
play of spring flowers and spirits

Dainty hand painted programs
will be sold.
School people will of course
come out and a cordial invitation
is extended the citizens of the
town.
CLAIRETTE
The Lingleville constable, while
searching for some stolen auto
casings, is reported to have stum-
bled on to a well esuipped still
for the manufacture of wild-cat
whiskey. A report circulated
Thursday was to the effect that
when he left the house where the j
still was found to phone to the j
Stephenville officers that parties j
entered the place smashed the
apparatus, poured out the mash,
and removed some of the barrels.
Sheriff Wright and County Attor-
ney Russell left Stephenville on
May 5 to investigate. The finding
of the still was on the night of
