ference had been changed, and in-
stead of holding it in the afternoon

held Sunday night. The Presiding
Elder, Dr. S. W. Williams will be

preach at the evening service, and
the conference will be held immed-

For my club demonstration, I

large chicken. Mrs. Vest, my Home

sccun. pure bred chicks. I payed
fifteen dollars for one hundred of
them. } g„t my chicks on March
12. so they would be ready for the
early market and sy the pullets will
bt' ready to lay by Christmas.
A week before I got my Chicks, I
ckaned and scrubbed the coop thor-
oughly, 1 put a layer of sand at the^.
bottom of it so their feet would bd
good and waim. 1 also let the brood-
er burn one night and day so
it would be good and warm when th*
chicks came. I did not open the
box until I had it in the warm brood-
er house. Their first meal was dry
oatmeal and boiled eggs. I had a
pan of mash before them always. I
gave them milk three times a (lay
and all the green lettuce that they
could possibly eat. For the first
three weeks I fed them five timLs
a day, When they were six weeks
old I began feeding them grit and
corn chops with the mash.
At the age of two weeks a cold
rainy spell came and one morning
when I cntcn.-d the coop the brooder
fire was out. To my great terror
and disappointment a large number
of my chickens became sick, as the
i' suit of tiie -evere spell of coldness.
I treated them for colds but they
didn't seem to get much better. One
morning 1 found four dead, but still
I didn't give up. I took the t* ad
ones and burned them, for I feared
that they might contaminate the re-
mainder of the flock. I r moved all
{• J" the sick ones from the flock. «Then
J had our County Agent, at, that
time to come and look at them, he
also set out six shrubs and two
climbing honeysuckles. The fence is
covered with morning glories. On
j each side of the yard I have one bed
the year round.
I also help my dad in the field,
such as hoeing corn and cotton, mak-
ing fodder and picking cotton.

Bastrop Texas. October 7, 1930
Lditor, Bastrop Advertiser,
Bastrop, Texas.
Dear Sir: May I presume upon your valuable time long
enough to put before you and the Bastrop merchants a few
ideas of my own. Not in a spirit of criticism but as a sug
gestion that might be of benefit to you and to them
In nearly every issue of your good little paper, one of the
best in this section of the State, you earnestly tell the read
ers to "read the advertisements and trade at home.
I looked over last weeks paper and found only seven
business firms represented in the advertising columns. There
are, making a rough guesa, fifty or more firms in Bastrop who
should advertise if they expect the people to patronize them
Here is the reason why. Judging others by myself. 1 take
the Lockhart paper and the Smithville paper also the Bastrop
paper. All three towns are located so that I can convenient-
ly trade in either. Reading my papers this week I found 32
big advertisements in the Lockhart paper quoting prices and
inviting people to come to their stores, offering other induce-
ments. I'We Smithville paper had 28 advertisements of the
same character. The Bastrop paper had only 7
Now if you were in my place and in the place of pos-
sibly two or three hundred other families, where would you
140 to trade? I low do we know we can do as well in Bas
trop or get what we want, like m other places if the merchant^
don't say so or invite us to < onie to their stores
1 live a little nearer Bastrop than to the other towns and
like Bastrop and vour people and that is why 1 am writing
this letter, as I said before not to criticise but to put some-
thing before the Bastrop business men whic h perhaps thev
never thought about
Bastrop must go after business like thev other towns if
they expect to get the business or even to keep what
they already got.
Yours for a Better Bastrop.

Bastrop Bears Beat
Giddings Friday 7-0
a# 3
The Bastrop Bears advanced a
•lotch higher in the race for District
lh honors when they beat tH- strong
Giddings Crew in their backyard
Friday. The score was 7-0. The
oears, overconfident and cnesiy,
walked on tlV field and decided
favorites in the tilt, but from the
first play until the last whistle they
had to employ all the old tricks,
hardesti
cmerg
coupled with 'ome of the
lifting s.oti this season ti
the victor. |
The offense of tile Bears looked
better than it has thiT season (which
i n't any too good) when they march-
ed 7C> yards down the field to be stop-
ped 011 the Ti yard Iit .•. The passing
combinations didn't get clicking. One
pas ■ to Edwards, one to Pfeiffer and
■ >ne to Reynold constituted the pair-
ing gains *"<>r tl. day.
The game was featured by Rey-
nold'. •!■"' yard run for a touchdown
when Giddings <omplctcd a pass to
him. Reynolds scampered directly1
down the goal I;* for the ore and
then booted the extra point for a
large afternoon. The (lidding: pun-
ter was tin1 best seen on tW high
school grid this season, while their
passer wa also good
Led Watson and Sehanhals stopped
everything that starLd their way
including the referee. Cole gallop-
ed ''to yards for a touch down only
to have the play called back. Dan
Reynolds was not tak^-n out of the
play during ny part of the game
but was only backing the runner out
to the side line. He made several
nice tackl.s in this manner.
Gray Price and Doc Bryson pro-
tected their center of the line and
let few gains come over thim. Clyde
Reynolds booted the pigskin consist-
ently during the game and pulled off
the best • xhibitioii of blocking seen
in these piuU. Pfuiffcr played hw
usual blocking and defensive game,
he's always good. Jack Wallace car-
ried the ball two thirds of the time
down the field and made good gains.
Billy Edwards is 'raking a name for
himself as a defensive back of merit.
Hi> tackles could be seen and hiaftt
all over the field. He also toted tho
ball for numerous gains.
This Friday the Bears journey to
Schulenburg for another conference
tilt. Th Schulenburg lads are re-
ported to b< weak this season, but
then the opposition may improve by
the time the Bears hit their camp.
At any rate. tl>. Bears aren't going
dnwn there over-confident.
Friday, October 17th, the Bears
meet their rivals in the form of tho
LaGrangi 1 pards. who, it eems
this year are uncommonly --trSmg.
The LaGrange team beat Giddings
20-0, beat Red Rose's team, Colum-
bus 115-0 and Summerville 15-0. The*
victories place them as favorites over
the Bruin*. This game will be play-
ed on ysn barren hill and should
prow- to be quite a *ame.
