Co-Operation and Business Sense Will
Make Weatherford Grow.
ISditor Herald:
It is even more essential that you
take care of your present business
than that you secure new business if
you would make Weatherford grow.
The easiest way to kill a community
spirit is to get together and go after
• new enterprise until you get it and
then neglect those already secured to
such an extent that they die. Hold
•II your old business and go afler the
new and you will have a wide awake
growing town.
I rejoice that we are to have an
oil refinery and an up to date hotel,
but these are not the factors that will
especially attract people to the town|
The two instiutions that have adver-
tised Weatherford as a desirable resi-
dence town are the churches and the
schools.
Some years ago Weatherford Col-
lege was founded here because the
people who made up Weatherford then
were known to be those who were in-
terested in schools of this character
end Weatherford College has had mor*
to do with the advertising of Weather-
ford as a desirable place to live than
•by other single institution that is
here today. Other towns and com-
munities have their public schools, but
only the favored few have schools of
this character.
The Chamber of Commerce could
not do a better thing for Weatherford
than to get behind the college and
help to give it the patronage she
needs and the support she deserves.
There are many reasons why this
is true, permit me to mention one or
two.
The Methodist church is going to
put on a church wide campaign next
year to raise $23,000,000 to equip and
maintain the schools and colleges un-
der the control of the church and each
school is to share in the benefits of
that campaign according to their sev-
eral merits. The fact that the gen-
eral board of education of the church
has been making an annual appropria-
tion for this school is proof that she
will share in the results of the cam-
paign of next year.
The truth is that while this school
is the property of the Methodist church
a majority of the board of trustees are
local men, selected not from the Meth-
odist cliurch, but men who are mem-
bers of the various churches of the
town, and the school is maintained for
the good of the community and this
surrounding country.
The College at present maintains a
grade of work which prepares gradu-
ates to enter the Freshman class of
the State University, Baylor Universi-
ty, Texas Chistian University, South-
ern Methodist University, or any of
the other colleges of like grade with
out examination.
With the cooperation that I am now
pleading for, the course of study can
be enlarged so as to permit the College
to do the full work of a junior college
and then the boys and girls of all this
section of Texas will have the oppor-
tunity of taking their first two years
of college work at home, giving to them
the privilege of remaining at home
two years longer and saving the ex-
pense of two years at a boarding
school.'
Think of what a saving it would be
to this community, in money, if the
boys and girls who graduate in our
public schools of this county would
remain at home and take their first
two years of college work here and
graduating, their cetificates would be
accepted in any first class college and
permit them to enter the junior class.
This college is worthy of the pat-
ronage of the community because of
the character of the work that is
done, as already stated the work of
this college is accepted by any first
grade college in the State.
Two members of the faculty of last
year, who will be in the faculty again
| this year, are now in the State Uni-
versity taking special work through
the summer that they may be better
prepared to take cae of the boys and
girls who come to them another year.
There are those who are able to
send their boys and girls away to
school, but there are many others who
are not able in this day of high prices
and by all working together all the
boys and girls can be kept at home and
be receiving as good training as can
be gotten anywhere and thus build up
an institution which will continue to
mean more to the upbuilding of Wea-
therford than any other enterprise you
have gotten behind in the past years.
We have the college—we have the
faculty—we have the boys and the
girls. Lets get them together and
watch Weatherford grow.
The danger is that in this busy age,
this age of business, this get rich quick
age—that we will neglect those insti-
tutions which are the real builders of
a stable community.
I am interested in Weatherford, in
the College, and in the boys and the
girls of this community.

‘ Fruits and vegetables continue to
come to the Weatherford market in
seemingly unlimited quantities and
considering the supply the market is
holding up fairly good. A few of the
more common vegetables sell slow on
account of no foreign market. The
following prices were paid the pro-
ducer Thursday:
Elberta peaches, bushel, 50c and 75c
Other kinds, slow sale.
