Farmers Institute to Meet Monday.
The commissioner of agriculture
has called a meeting of the Parker
County Farmers’ Institute to be held
ir. the county court r8om in Weath-
erford next Monday for the purpose
of electing a delegate to the state
meeting which will be held in \^aco,

urged to attend.
J. P. OWENS, Local Pres. V
Peanut Crop Failing Fast.
With the continuation of the pro-
tracted drought, the peanut crop of
Through Mr. Gunim, manager ol
the Chamber of Commerce, the Wea-
therford. gentlemen secured Valuable
information as to how to proceed in
the matter, and after spending a few
hours in Fort Worth they felt assured
that a reserve officers’ training corps
would be established in connection
with Weatherford College. At the
same time the young men attending
the College and the Weatherford
High school would be given military
training by a commissioned officer.
When <be Weatherford citizens fil-
ed into Mr. Gumni’s office, one of the
first question asked them was: “What
is Weatherford and Parker county do-
ing or going to do about building a
good road through that county?’’ And
i before any of the gentlemen could
answer his query, he continued to fire
good road necessities at them. “Fort
Worth,” he said, “was becoming an
oil center headquarters and bad roads
to the oil fields to the west retarded
development, therefore It was of par-
amount importance that more than a
passable road be established.”
In the course of the conversation,
it developed that there would likely
be trained at Camp Bowie an artil-
lery regiment, and as Fort Worth
could not furnish a suitable range
for target practice, that Weatherford
might again have an opportunity to
have several hundred of Uncle Sam’s
boys with us the coming winter. It
is saif that about 8,000 horses and
mules have been unloaded in Fort
Worth the past few days and are now-
in the stockade, which will be used
in the artillery service. It was fur-
ther learned that should the range
be again located near Weatherford
that it will 'be something of a perma-
nent nature, as quarters will have to
be maintained through the winter.
In case Weatherford secures this
camp there will be abo ut fifteen
hundred men here, it was stated, and
that water facilities would have to be
secured at the camp. Should this
number of men be camped here for
six months it would be a valuable
asset to Weatherford, for most of the
money paid the men woudl be spent
among the business men of this city.
This is a matter that should be care-
fully watched and every effort made
to secure the camp.
But there is one thing that is going
to militate against us, and that is the
lack of a good road to Fort Worth.|
Now Weatherford has an opportunity,
such as she has never had before—
an opportunity not only to increase
her population as she is doing by
good citizens moving here from Ran-
ger and other points west, but an op-
portunity of increasing her commer-
cial importance by building her part
of the highway from Fort Worth to
Ranger.
Fort Worth is in a position to help
Weatherford at this time in’the mat-
ter of securing the artillery range.
The question is, will she use her in-

MANY QUESTIONNAIRES
WITH APPEALS
BOARD
The return or fifty-odd question-
naires of Parker county registrants
now with the district appeals board
in Fort Worth is expected to add sev-
eral men to the ’county's fighting
class. Most of the appeals are from
newly married men recently plrfced
in the fighting class under the newly-
wed provision announced by the pro-
vost marshal general, and practically
all who appealed their cases are ask-
ing for deferred classification on the
so-called “child born or unborn”
clause. While It is believed that most
of the claims will be allowed, yet
a number are expected to remain in
the first class. Several newly mar-
ried men placed in class 1 by the
new ruling asked for no appeal und
have already accompanied drafts to
training camps.
The “work or fight” ruling will be
more rigidly enforced in the future,
members of the board announce.
Several industrial concerns of the
county are now regularly keeping the
hoard posted on the number of hours
per week that men subject to the
draft, whom they employ, are work-
ing. The local board interprets the
“work or fight” measure as meaning
that all able-bodied men must work
six days out of the week and will
class all -part time” workers as
slackers.

local draft board with tbe names of
all Parker county registrants in de-
ferred classes, who are granted di-
vorces. The war department has rul-
ed that all registrants automatically
revert into the fighting class when
the cause of deferred classification is
removed. Tbe fact that a divorced
husband pays alimony will bo no
cause for continued deferred claasifl-
tion.

Under the supervision of R. B.

head of cattle, horses and mules were
dipped Friday at the Walter Shirley
vat. This place is a part of the terri-
tory voluntarily freeing itself of the
cattle tick this year. Mr. Dennis in-
formed the Herald Saturday they
would continue dipping every two
weeks throughout the established ter-
ritory covering the whole eastern and
southeastern portions of the county
until all the territory was free. In
order to get a clear record this work
must be dope before December 1st.
Mr. Dennis also stated that other
property owners in that section who
were not among the original petition-
ers are joining in the work, thereby
extending the territory. Tbe work is
progressing nibely and satisfactorily.
In addition to the cattle dipped at
Shirley's, 160 head were dipped at E.

Mustering Date Set for Aug. 20.
The muster-in day of the new re-
cruits of the Third Texas infantry
will be held Tuesday, August 20, in-
stead of Saturday, August 24, as for-
merly announced. It is expected that
the colonel who will command the
regiment will witness the mustering
in, together with a number of other
high officers of the new Texas Nat-
ional Guard. Lieutenant Green of
Granbury, who is directing the re-
cruiting campaign in Parker and ad-
joining counties, announces that a
number of recruits are still wanted
for service in the organisation. The
fact that the First and Fifth cavalry
regiments have been recognized by
the federal war department, together
with the closing of all other avenues
of volunteer enlistments, is expected
to greatly stimulate enlistments in
the new guard. ,

Texas & Pacific Sued for $7,000.
Alleging that the Sunshine special
passenger train failed to give them
sufficient time to get aboard the
coach, thus causing them several
hours delay in waiting for the next
train, Mrs. R. E. Welland and two
daughters have filed suit in the. 43rd
district court against J. L Lancaster
and Pearl Wight, receivers, for the
Texas & Pacific Ry. Co., for sums ag-
gregating $7,000. Mrs. Welland and
daughters reside in Dallas. They al-
lege that they were preparing to
board the east bound Sunshine spe-
cial but the train started and left
them behind, necessitating a wait of
several hours. It is also claimed that
Mrs. Welland was sick and that the
delay in reaching homp greatly en-
dangered her health.
Surgeons agree that in cases of cuts,
burns, bruises and wounds, the first
treatment is most important. When
an efficient antiseptic is applied1
promptly, there is no danger of infec-
tion and the wound begins to heal at
once. For use-on man or beast, Boro-
cone is the ideal antiseptic and healing
agent. Buy it now and be ready for
an emergency. Price 25c, 60c, $1.00'
