CREAMERY AT
UMBARGER
Made to Inet
Butter Pactory it Lit-
tle City of tho Plains.
t Mants, who was here last Sat-
urday, announces that the business
men and fanners of Umbarger will
erect a modern butter factory. Mr.
Mants is taking a leading psrt in
matter and has already secured the
promise of nearly 300 cows. Thst
these people will succeed is assured
as many of the farmers are from the
.Elgin community and understand
how to run a farm dairy and to
handle cream. They are enthusias-
tic over their project and many of
the German farmers of that com-
munity were here last Saturday to
hear Mr. McHenry, the Roswell
creamery man.
Rev. Story Promoted.
A much deserved honor in the
way of a promotion for Pastor J. W.
Story was the pleasant news from
the Annual Conference at Clarendon.
He was made presiding elder of the
Clarendon District. The many
friends of Mr. Story outside of his
own flock are glad to know of his
appointment and while they regret
to see him leave Hereford, they
wish every success in his new field
of work.
His successor in Hereford, Rev.
J as. M. Sherman of Merkel will
preach his first sermon Sunday week.
He comes to the Hereford Station
with the full endorsement of the
Conference and his reputation as a
good preacher has preceded him to
to this city.
Turkeys Arrested.
One of the last acts of the big
sheriff of Deaf Smith was the ar-
rest of a number of Thanksgiving
Turkeys—yes, real live fat turkeys,
and a number are now in jail in var-
ious parts of the city. In his usual
spirit of generosity, Sheriff E. F.
Connell ordered a number of the
emblems of Thanksgiving to be sent
to his friends and the first thing
anyone knew about it was the noise
of the grocery boy trying to break
into the chicken coop in tha back
yard with a big turkey, when it
leaked out how it all happened. No
doubt Mr. Connell's friends will eat
a good turkey for Thanksgiving with
a real satisfaction and a kindly
feeling for their big sheriff and
friend. The editor of this country
weekly expects to eat several gen-
erous slices with cranberry sauce on
account of the generous generosity
of the big sheriff.
Rev. J. W. Story will Preach.
On account of the inability of the
new pastor to arrive in the city in
time, Rev. J. W. Story will fill the
pulpit at the Methodist Church next
Sunday at 11 o'clock and at night.

shire pigs. See R. H. Norton. 41-2

A wire to E. F. Connell yester-
day announcing that the Drilling
Co. near &enno, a new town on the
Rock Island, had struck oil in a new
well, created some little excitement
in Hereford. Mr. Connell left at
once for the scene of action. It has
been known for some years that the
oil indications were strong in that
section but not until recently has
anything been done. Another com-
pany known as the State Line Oil

application for a portion of the en-
dowment. No action will be taken
until the next meeting of the board
when Mr. Butterick will make bis
report.
Secretary Butterick was driven
through the university grounds in an ,
automobile accompanied by Pres-
ident Lockhart and trustees. He
expressed his approval of the op-
portunity to dispose of a portion of>
the endowment fund in a gift to
Texas Christian University, but said (
that the proposition would have to
be laid fully before his board before j
any answer could be made.
It is possible that other members j
of the boaid will inspect the com-1
pleted buildings of the university be-
fore a decision is reached. The j
proposition made to Dr. Lockhart is 1
similar to that made to Baylor Univ-
ersity which will get a donation of!
wellsT *$200,000 from the fund, to be in-
creased by $400,000 which Baylor
authorities must raise.
Secretary Wallace Butterick is
spending today in Waco, arranging
for the gift to Baylor University.

FARMERS MAY
BUILD CREAMEAY
Mooting Hold aad Queotioo Dis-
cussed. McHenry of Rso-
well Addresses Pernors.
Last Saturday a number of farm-
ers and their wives met at the Pox
building and there discussed the
various topics pertaining to the dairy
business. Mr. McHenry of the Roe-
well Creamery was present and dur-
ing his address answered many ques-
tions about the cream and butter bus-
iness. He advised that the dairy
farmers begin with a lew good cows
and ship the cream to some nearby
creamery until a sufficient number
of cows were in the coamnertty to
justify building a home or local
creamery \ He explained that from
300 to 500 cows would be a beginn-
ing. Further, he said that a small
creamery with a capacity of 500
pounds of butter per day should not
cost over $1,500 complete and warn-
ed the farmers not to be skinned
by promoters.
He explained how the cream was
tested by the creamery and that the
Roswell concern would pay within 3
cents of the Elgin butter market for
all cream that may be shipped from
Hereford.
One hour was spent in (he meeting
when an adjournment was made to
Jarrott & Wilkinson's store where a
test was made of some cream brought
in by Mrs. Fulkerson. This was
quite an interesting process as many
had never seen how it was done.
