Returned From Extended Trip.
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Dent of Brock,
have returned from an extended trip,
lasting eight weeks, through the north-
western counties in Texas. They
went through some fifteen counties,
stopping close to the Kansas line.
They were joined at Abilene by their
shn, J. R. Dent, and family, and stop-
ped at Hale Center, Plainview and
other places. The outing was very
beneficial to Mr. and Mrs. Dent who
came home very much improved in
general health. Upon their return
trip they were joined at Abilene by
H. W. Dent and wife from Bly, Cali-
fornia, who will visit relatives here
a few weeks.
WEATHERFORD CITIZENS
CLEAN TWO COTTON CROPS
Wednesday morning promptly at 7
o’clock, eleven business men and citi-
zens of Weatherford, in automobiles,
went to the farm of Mrs. K. G. Tenni-
son in the Greenwood community and
chopped ten acres of cotton, leaving
the crop in good condition and free
from weeds. John Tennison, who had
charge of the men, complimented
them on their work, saying that it
was as good as any regular farm
hands coluld have done. He was great-
ly pleased with i the work, and al-
though some of the men did not want
to take pay for their labor, he insist-
ed on them doing so and all were
paid.
Finishing the ten acre patch about
11 o’clock, the men went over in an
adjoining field and finished the crop
of Claud Waters, a tenant on Mrs,
Tennison’s farm. As this was only
an hour’s work, the men would not
accept any pay for it
In speaking of the work done, John
Tennison said that he was very much
surprised that city folks could do as
good work as was done In chopping
out cotton to a stand.

Some Luscious Peaches.
The Herald acknowledges receipt
of some luscious peaches from Farm
er Drake, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, which were presented
Thrusday morning. This fruit was
from a tree in Mr. Drake’s front yard
which had never been known to ripen
before the latter part of June or the
first of July. Mr. Drake attributes the
early maturity to the fact that he
practiced intensive fertilization, and
in the right manner. Evidently there
is an art in using fertilizer about
peach tree and In thus forcing the ma-
turity of the peach Mr. Drake has
proven the experiment to be success-
ful. He dug a trench under the tree
just beneath the extended boughs,
placed the wet fertilizer therein, tap-
ing**the roots that feed the fruit
through the body of the trpe.
Why take the risk of fire and theft
on your auto when you can insure the
same against both?

A glimpse of the western front and
all the grim terrors of modern war-
fare was duplicated Thursday by the
exhibition barrage fire staged at the
Camp Joffre range by the machine
gun units of the Panther division.
The barrage was an exact reproduc-
tion of artillery tactics now common
in the Buropean war zone and dis-
-fplayed in the smallest detail the dead-
ly workings of scientific warfare
where men fight according to the rules
of trigonometry and not in the open
field, as In days of old.
The scene of the barrage was the
open space of country about two
miles southwest of Camp Joffre pro-
per. Three hundred selected machine
gunners from the machine gun corps
were engaged in the maneuver, which
began shortly after 10 o’clock in the
morning and continued well into tie
afternoon. The machine gunners were
divided into three batteries with ten
guns to the battery, and were lined
in battle formation at the extreme
western end of the range. A long line
of dummy “Fritzies” were placed in
trenches approximately two miles
away and the guns of the Sammies
were aimed with deadly accuracy
upon the camouflage Bocbes. A bar-
rage was put down in front of the
enemy trenches to prevent a counter
attack.
The barrage was witnessed by Maj.
Gen. E. St. John Greble, commanding
the 36th division at Camp Bowie, to-
gether with hi6 personal and general
staff. The commanding general, to
gether with his staff, occupied an ob-
servation stand near where the bar-
rage was placed. Other Officers pres
ent were Brigadier Generals Blakely,
Hutchens and Hulen, commanders of
the three brigades comprising the
36th division, and Majors Dunbar,
Zachary, Hasean, Andrews, Gilstrop,
Wright; Colonels Bloor, Sholars, and
Lieutenant Colonels Baker, Lapow-
ski and Stevenson - ..
Among the other officers from Camp
Bowie that witnessed the barrage fire
and the working out of problems by
the machine gun battalion, were:
Major Test, Major Hutchings, Colonel
Bloor, Captain Nelson, Lieut. Perrine,
Lieut. Burns; ■ Captains Barton, Can-
terbury, Harry and White; Lieuts.
Morrison, Hanger, Wilkerson, Mason,
Weinert, Strong and Krause; Lieut,
Col. Jayne r Majors Giletrap, Rutan,
Green and Upham, Lieut. Rossignol,
Chaplain Godolphin, Colonel Johnson;
Captains Cates and Whittaker; Maj-
ors Matthews and Robertson; Lieuts.
Parker, Koehl«(r, Maddison, Bullock
and Lusk.
An airplane from Hicks soared over
the range during the maneuver, ad-
ding a militaristic view to the scene.
The birdman was used for reconnoit-
ering purposes and from bis dazzling
altitude the aviator signaled to the
gunners below the results of their
firing.
The bararge was under the direction
of Major Dashwood of the British
army, one of the foremost experts in
niachine gun work in the allied ar-
mies. He has seen service since the
beginning of the present war, first
on the westerfi front and later at Sa-
loniki.
, The barrage was witnessed by large
crowds from Weatherford and nearby
towns. Large numbers came in auto-
mobiles, which were parked in long
rows near the edge of the range.

Camp Joffre, Texas, June 5.—Editor
Jerald: As the stay of the 36th divis-
ion U. S. A. machine gun corps is
drawing to q close, we being due to
leave Camp Joffre early Friday morn-
ing, I take this method of expressing
my sincere thanks for the many kind-
nesses extended by the people of
Weatherford, also the following citi-
zens for stationery sent to the camp:
Joe Babb, Ben Dyer, B. M. Estes,
Chas. Helfrin, Miss Dora Damm, Eliz-
abeth Holtz, Vesta Thorp, Geraldine
Cartledge. I wish to especially thank
the pastors of Weatherford for their
valuable assistance in holding vesper
services in the battalion company
streets. These meetings opened Mon-
day evening, May 27, with thirty pres-
ent; Monday night over fifty
present. The meetings are very great-
ly appreciated. I wish to thank espe-
cially the city fire department for
their bathing accommodations, which
was greatly appreciated by both offi-
cers and men. I wish to thank the
ladies of the soldiers’ recreational
home for their stationery, magazines
and the many social evenings given
our soldier boys during their short
stay in your city. I wish to thank
Postmaster J. M. Richards, his office
force and the civilians for their free
motor rides in and out of camp; for
the help given me in handling the
camp mail which averaged 800 letters
mailed per day.
The battalion soldiers' quartette is

Sunday School Convention.
I write this to urge that each Bap-

go to work at once and prepare theif
programs for the coming Sunday
school convention, which meets at
Whitt at 9:30 a. m. on Tuesday after

will soon have oat a program showing
at what hour each school will have

Those who are expecting to can
fruits and vegetables at home this,
year are advised to place their orders
for cans as soon as possible with Miss
Trulie Richmond, home demonstra-
tion agent, at the Chamber of Com
merce office. There are a few thou-
sand cans left over from last year and
these will have to be disposed of be-
fore more can be obtained this year,
as the available tin is very short and
the United States government is pro-
rating the tin very Blowly in order to
prevent over-production in commer-
cial lines. It is impossible to get fig-
ures from the big can manufacturing
companies until they know how much
tin they will be allowed to make into
cans, nor will they place an order
without a permit from the govern-
ment. Miss Richmond must know
just how many cans to get before
placing an order, and to have this in-
formation in hand she must have the
orders placed in her hands from the
home folks in advance, with the, mon-
ey deposited.
So, if those who have stuff to can
and want to save their surplus, they
must see Miss Richmond at ones an*
place their orders with a cash deposit
sufficient to cover the expense. Last
year the Chamber of Coomoreo
