permission h*d been obtained from
the city to'YOpe off the streets two
blocks each way from the tabernacle
so that the service* would not be
interrupted by cars coming and leav-
ing.
O. O Brightman and George E.
Smith were appointed as a commit-
tee to confer with Sheriff Gilbreath
and ('jty-'Marshall. W. A. Pate to
get-rhem to work in connection with
--the meeting and appoint sufficient
deputies to help them to see that
cam were properly parked so that
even the great crowd that is i«xpeer-
ed could disperse quickly after the
.services Without any traffic jam.
The officers will also patrol the
parking space during the service to
see that no pilfering is done and
that the cars are not bothered.
In order that the finances of the
local churches might not suffer by
there being no services at the Bap-
tist and Methodist church for three
Sundays. It was decided that the
collection at the Sunday morning
services should go to the tWo
churches. The members are request-
ed by their pastors to bring their
offering in marked envelopes and it
was agreed that the loose change
should be divided equally between
the two churches. Th^ offering at
the other services wRTgo to help de-
fray the eocpejpoeS of the revival.
In 'order' “that the evangelistic
party-ifiay come into close con-
tact with the citizenship of Coman-
" che, the committee said that they
had arranged that the party should
take their noon meals in the differ-
ent homes of the town and a com-
mittee of ladies will be appointed to
work out a schedule for this.
A tabernacle committee consist-
ing of L. F. Elkins and Charles Ed-
mondson were appointed. They have
already begun work on the taber-
nacle and are putting in some large
ventilators in the top arid will also
install electric fans so that the en-
tire congregation may be as com-
fortable as possible during the ser-
Samuel J. Tildon .William*, camp-
aign director of the revival will be
in Comanche again next week and
will have everything in readiness
when the services opens on the
night of July 3 with a sermon by
the Evangelist Will Hogg.

at the Ice Plant.' *
Mr Gleason tells us that absolute
cleanliness is necessary in the hand-
ling of the milk before it is separ-
ated, during its separation, and of
the cream after it is separated if it
tj to- be kept sweet. The
and all containers must be washed
in hot or boiling water, and treated
with B-K to kill all bacteria. This
B-K, which is entirely harmless to
persons -but desth to all bacteria,
can be had locally, and is ineoepe-.-
sive, only a few cents worth being
used daily.
All cream must be cooled down to
50 degrees Farenhit or lower before
it is offered for sale, and under no
circumstances must warm cream be
mixed with cold creaih. Different
“batches" of cream may be mixed
only when they are about the same
temperature.
If we will all pull together we can
put over a creamery for Comanche,
and if Stephenville, Brown wood ana
HicO, neighboring towns, find cream-
eries to be profitable both to there
towns, and to the communities at
large mefrel sure a creamery suc-
cessfully operated will be a fine
thing for Comanche, and - that is
whv we are for it.
VISITS CREAMERY TO
STUDY METHODS
The cash register was badly dam-
aged by having its iron front pried
off. Here the burglar got a few dol-
lars. This would seem that the work
was that of an amateur, as a^prof-
essional would have likely known
that little cash would be left in a
register. The safe was unmolested.
In the show case from wnich tne
three gold watches were taken, were
diamond rings, wrist watches, and
other valuable jewelry, and for some-
unaccountable reason thesd valuables
were passed up. '.
Tracks at th> window and m slaw
the building indicate that the job
was the work of a man and that
there was but one in the party.
The night watchman makes reg-
ular rounds through the alley and
the burglar must have known exact-
ly at what hour it would l>e safe aro
do the work.
About two years ago the Reese
Drug Store was entered from the
same window and the same narcotic
cabinets were broken into and a
qvmptity of morphine taken.

The committee to inspect the
and lawns of Comanche in the
Home Beautiful contest, consisting
of Mesdames S. P. Smith, I. M.
Cochran, J. E. Chilton, made their
regular six weeks inspection tour
Monday. * ....
The committee reported that the
unusually cool weather for this time
of the year and the abundance of
rain had been very favorable for
pv- tty yards where the necessary
labor had been done.
Some of the yards, they stated,
had Improved at least fifty p* o nt
while a few had fallen below the
standard and had been droppnd from
the contest. As a whole, the ladies
stated that the lawns of Comanche
were never prettier and that the
whole town still presented a spring
like appearance.
They urge every one in Comancne
whether they are entering the con-
twit or, not, to co-operate to make
this one of the most beautiful places
in Texas.
Makes Good
* Money On Garden
C. Jd. Edmondson In his garden in
the east part of Comanche planted
12 rows of potato:* 80.feet long the
last’ week in Februarv. Mr. Edmond-
son states that hU family of eirht
ate potatoes from, this patchy at
lesst once a dry fo- a month. DmT
this time he also sold or* bushel, h i

* hundred bushel* per acre.
Mr. Edmondson not dnly mBde a
big potato crop, but was equally as
lucky with his onions. He set out
2000 plants on one tenth acre, of
sandy land nhd has sold $8.10 worth
from 1 the patch, tued them on the

150 pounds left.

men said that they found these peop-
le very emthusiastic about the bus-
iness ami that some of the farmers
in that section had ceased to make
dairy a side lino, but were devoting
more time to it and getting more
returns than from the rest of Win
farm.
A Mr. Pearce, who, cam to the
creamery while they were there, told
the party that he owned nine high
tested milkers and had $900. invest-
ed in cow’s, ice box, and separator.
From his dairy products during the
last three months, according to Ms
statement, he had cleared $100.
above all expenses per month. Mr.
Pearce further stated that his farm
and improvement* were valued av
$15,000.00 and that he had not aver-
ayed $100 per month during the last
year dear profit from his entire
farm outside of his dairy products.
Most of the patrons of the cream-
ery were selling either sweet cream
or whole milk and told the Comanche
County party that there was little
profit in sour cream. They stated
that it depended upon how profit-
ably the farmer Could dispose of his
'skimmed milk whither it was bet-
ter to sell sweet cream or whole
milk. Most of those who came froii.
near Hico vfere selling whole milk
while those w’ho came from a furth-
er distance, generally sold sweet
cream.
Whole milk, the Hico men told
the party, can be handled without
the use of ice and must be delivered
every two or three da Vs.
The Hico. firm was paving 50
cents per pound for butter fat In the
whole milk, which was testing from
4 to 5 per cent. The price paid *>r
sweet erenm butter fat was 45 cents
per pound. , . .
The Hico farmers stated that the
milk was netting them about twenty
cents per gallop. Just how profit-
able the business is depends to -
large extent, they said,- upon the
kind of cows used and upon the way
thev are fed.
The entire party who made th*
trip. County Agent Barton stated,
are enthusiastic about the ProJ^t
and were convirced that it is a prof-
itable project- The Sidney committee
he stated will most heartily recom-
mend to their 4-H Sounre Club that
