LEGION SHOW'Plowboys Gain Another
)TieGame Last Week In
Joust With Daniel Baker
DOWN TO LAST
PLAN DETAIL
Plans for the American Legion
Jubilee Celebration, to be held in
Stephenville one week beginning
Monday, November 5th, are fast
coming down to the last plan of
detail. Committee reports handed
t« I1. M. Stigler, commander of
the local post, Tuesday night gave
every indication of a wonderful
nr-ay of entertainment and enjoy-
ment for old and young alike
during the week.
A contract was closed the past
week with the Western States
Shews to take care of midway at-
tractions. This ci'mnany, coming
here from Amarillo w.iere it play-
ed ten days for the /Onarillo State
Fair, has the reputation of being
one of the outstanding traveling
shows in the country. Along with
the 9 riding devices and 14 shows
the company has a free grand-
stand attraction that is said to be
exceptionally, entertaining.
A free prize proposition that
will be advertised for the first
day will make it possible for visit-
ors to have an opportunity to gain
as much as $25.00 in cash. It will
not be necessary for the winners
to make purchases of any kind in
order to participate in the cash
prize that is to be offered.
The mule pulling contest is tak-
ng form rapidly. Dr. Verne Scott,
who has charge bf the contest,
said Thursday that the mule team
at the Tarleton College farm
would gi”e a demonstration at the
contest but would not enter for
the cash awards. This team is
champions of Texas in pulling
contests, having been awarded
this honor at the Fort Worth Fat
Stock Show last Spring. Cecil Ing-
ley will dWve the team.
Fiddling and dancing contests,
band contests, drum and bugle
eorps demonstrations and perhaps
one of the outstanding orators of
the State are a few of the other
items of entertainment.
Stigler said Tuesday night that
he hoped to have the program
completed and ready to print with-
in the next few days. Advertising
literature will be broadcast all ov-
er this section of Texas.
Although completely outplayed
and outfought throughout most of
Friday night's game, the Daniel
Baker Hill Billies were fortunate
enough to get away with a 0-6 tie
in their battle with the Tarleton
Plowboys in a game played here
Friday night of last week before
a near capacity crowd. In fact the
visitors from Brownwood were
forced to stage a brilliant and de-
termined 65-yard drive in the
fourth quarter to overcome a six
point lead by Tarleton In the sec-
ond quarter. This final and desper-
ate march was climaxed with a
short pass, Howard to Snodgrass,
the latter taking the ball across
the goal line. Little was rushed
Into the game to try for the extra
point but failed.
The Plowboys scored in the sec-
ond quarter after Couser, Plowboy
quarterback, had taken a Hill
Billy punt at midfield and raced
to the visitors’ fourteen-yard line
before being downed. Three line
plays failed to gain for Tarleton,
but on "the fourth down Couser
shot a pass to Hoover, end, on the
Brownwood team’s yard stripe.
Three more desperate drives by
Tarleton backs failed to gain an
inch but on fourth down Hoover
scored on an end-around play.
The Billies came back strong in
the second half and ripped off
many yards but until they launch-
ed their final desperate march
down the ‘field they were never
able to get within striking dis-
fnncp of the Tarleton gonl. This
long march was featured by the
all around play of Reever Hick-
man and fast and hard blocking
on the part of the Hill Billy for-
wards.
Pete Roach, Frank Coker, Mont-
gomery and Morris were stars of
the Daniel Baker line while Hick-
man and Snodgrass were out-
standing performers in the back-
field.
Hoover, end and captain, was
Tarleton’s best performer, with
Couser turning in the best game
for the Plowboy ball carrying de-
partment. The Plowboys’ two hus-
ky tackles also proved troublesome
for the visitors.
The Brownwood team registered
twelve first downs to two for Tar-
leton.

I’LL TELL THE
WORLD
CITIZENS of Clairette are to be
congratulated on the enterprise
and aggressiveness shown in pro-
moting a community fair. The cele-
bration begins this morning and
will continue for a full two days.
Exhibits comprising farm products
and an almost endless variety of
canned foods will be shown. There
will also be chickens, turkeys and
fine livestock placed on exhibit.
These exhibits coupled with the
program of entertainment should
attract a large crowd of visitors.
Stephenville will send a good quota
and from reports it seems that all
other sections of the county will
be well represented
PLAY DECATUR
When the Tarleton Plowboys
come out on their home field for
the contest with Decatur Baptist
College here Friday night, they will
have a hard game to face, accor-
ding to Coach W. J. Wisdom.
Coach Wisdom, who saw the
Decatur men in action last week
at Denton, declare that they have
the best backfield he has seen this
year, with some good big line men,
and that they played good foot-
ball.
‘‘They’re going to be hard to
beat,” he said. Flannery is plenty
fast We ought to have the edge
on them in line play, because we
have more old men back in the
line, but they have an old back-
field, and we have a new one.”

WORKFAVORED
BY JUDGE ELY
A FEW years ago community
" fairs were nothing unusual, but
since the advent of the depression,
crop failures dry weather and gov-
ernment relief measures it seems
that the usual zest for such cele-
brations has become dormant.
Stephenville for a period of ten
or twelve years conducted the an-
nual Erath county fair and in or-
der to take care of the exhibits
and visitors local business men con-
tributed a sum of more than $10,000
to improve the city park. But
Stephenville has allowed the fall
fair to fall by the wayside; it is
no more. The significant feature
about the Clairette fair is that it
Is being put over magnificently in
the face of distressing conditions.
The dry weather of 1934 has made
H next to impossible to produce
anything like normal crops
YFHE soundest and most practical
* plan yet promoted by the Roose-
velt administration is the rebuild-
ing and repairing program. Next
Monday morning it gets under way
one hundred per cent in Stephen-
ville. Other parts of the country
are likewise becoming enthused
over the plan and as a result there
Is more building and repairing en-
thusiasm in these parts than there
has been in several years. As a
matter of fact It is the first time
In about three yesrs that there has
been anvth’ng like a consistent
home building program started
here. That does not mean, of course

Girl from Missouri
Is Most Amusing
Comedy Romance
Eadie Chapman was determined
to marry a millionaire. And Jean
Harlow, as Eadie. accomplished
her mission in the new Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer picture, "The Girl

one of her finest performances in
a role that is admirably suited to
her talents. The deft manner in
which she takes care of the char-

those earlier successes that brot
her stardom—“Red-Headed Wo-
man," ’’Hold Your Man” and "Red
Dust.”
This time, Miss Harlow is team-
ed with Lionel Barrymore, who
appears as the very wealthy T. R.
Paige, whose political apnlecart is
almost upset by Ead’e Chapman's
campaign to win his son, Tom.
Franchot Tone is seen as Tom,
and Lewis Stone gives his usuul
great performance as Cousins,
millionaire bachelor.

The Texas Highway Commission
Monday expressed itself as favor-
ing immediate construction of grad-
ing and drainage structures on
Highway 10 in Irion County and
improvement of the road as quickly
as possible through Erath and
Comanche counties.
Eleven miles of grading and
drainage on Highway 10 in Irion
county has been included in a fed-
eral aid program now pending be-
fore the Federal Bureau of Pub-
lic Roads for approval. Commis-
sioner W. R. Ely said he would re-
quest the commission to appropri-
ate state funds to complete the
project through the county.
“I know of no more important
road then Highway 10,” Commis-
sioner Ely said. Ely said he was
anxious to complete all sections of
the road and desired particu'arly
to undertake projects in Erath
and Comanche counties to furnish
San Angelo and the ranch country
with a good artery to Fort Worth.
Work Has Been Delayed
Work in Erath and Comanche
counties has been delayed because
of difficulty in obtaining right of
way in Erath county, Ely said.
A delegation of several counties
stressed the importance of develop-
ing the road as a scenic route to
attract travelers going to Mexico
to make available to tourists sev-
eral West Texas parks now being
developed and to provide an out-
let for business.
The commission reported sur-
facing of Highway 10 from the
Upton county line to the Pecos
county line has been included In
the federal aid program.
The commission told a Live Oak
county delegation that Highway
202 from George West to Beeville
has been recommended for con-
struction from the federal funds.
The state agreed to join in a re-
quest for a federal designation for
a highway from Houston to the
New Mexico line through Giddings.

Location survey was erdered in

The commision took no action
on a Jefferson county request for
coverage of a ditch at the entrance
to Port Arthur on Highways 8 and
27.
Jefferson countv’s reouest for or-
ders to go ahead with obtaining
the right cf way for the proposed
relocation of the Beach Rond from

Attends Convention
M. A. Msnross. manager of tho
Electric Shoe Shop, went to Dal-
las Sunday to attend the Shoe Re-
builders and Dyers Convention
held in that city Monday.
housing Program Plans
To Get Lnder Way here
o4s Drive Starts Monday
Monday morning Is the date
agreed on by the Stephenville
Housing committee to begin a cru-
sade to have each and every home
owner in the city repair or re-
build his house. The program will
also have fer its purpose the pro-
motion of any other tpye of build-
ing. Five women engaged by the
committee in charge will receive
definite instructions and have the
plans outlined to them ' prior to
the time they will begin their la-
bors, thus making sure that every
agency will be familiar with the
idea to be fostered.
Lumber and tradesmen held a
long committee meeting Wednes-
day afternoon snd worked out the
final details of the drive. L. W.
Phillips, of the Chamber of Com-
merce, was named to supervise
the work while the committee as
a whole selected five women to
canvas every house in the city.
The idea In going to the homes
is to ascertain what repairs are
needed and if the home owner
would be agreeable to a program
of rebuilding. In either event the
facts will be available for all
tradesmen and thus an opportuni-
ty made possible for closing a
deal. The ladies making the can-
vas will report each night during
the two weeks they will be em-
ployed.
Public speakers will appear be-
fore each of the three schools and
ask students to lend their aid in
bringing to the attention of home
owners the importance of repair-
ing or rebuilding homes for the
purpose of supplying labor to the
unemployed.
Preachers are likewise being
asked to announce to audiences at
the Sunday services the plan and
urge every consideration of the
move.
Those who are directly asso-
ciated with the work are enthu-
siastic over the prospect and be-
lieve the results will be satisfac-
tory.

ber of Commerce building, where
a moving talking picture was

HOPESFORNEW
CATTLE MONEY
ENCOURAGING
Erath county cattlemen are still
hoping that some plan will he de-
vised whereby the cattle' buying
program can be revived here.
There are approximately 10.000
head on the waiting list still ready
for government buyers. *
County Agent Mark Bucking-
ham, who has been ill for the past
ten days, is expecting new infor-
mation any day and he too be-
lieves that sorner or later it will
be possible to buy a few more dis-
tressed cattle.
Mr. Buckingham said, however,
that he was making no promises.
“You know as much about this
government cattle business as I do
and all I can say is that I hop#
something will be done. We need
relief bad in Erath countv and I
already have put forth every ef-
fort st mv command in retting a
new buying program instituted.”
This was the statement from
Buckingham the past week.
The task of selecting the mpst
distressed cattle in the county to
the extent of 500 head is ahout
completed. After that is cut of the
way a new buying program would
be doubly welcome by owners who
do not have feed and many of
them report, they have no water.
With fields that ordinarily pro-
vide fall and winter pasture not
sufficient to take care of anv re-
quiraments. grain crons a fnilure,
no corn and little-If any rh\v cVrt^T
feeds, cattlemen of this county are
facing a hard winter. Unless a
new buying program is started
and the distressed cattle purchas-
ed or destroyed many cattle will
die during the cold weather that
ermes during November and De-
cember.

JTAC FIELD IS
JACKET GAME
The high school Yellowjacket?
take on another foe here Saturday
night when the Granbury high
school team will supply the oppo-
sition. Granbury, it will be remem-
bered, last year had one of the
lightest but hardest fighting ele-
vens in this territory. They prom-
ise a real threat to the goal line
of the Jackets.
With a view of Ironing out one
or more eligibility hindrances
members of the Jacket squad have
been busy the past week ascertain-
ing where they stand. Young Ed
Brvant. the spark plug of the
backfield, was out of the game at
Strawn lost Friday and his ab-
sence was said to have a good
deal to do with the slow game
played against a much weaker
team, yet the score remained even
throughout.
The game with Hamilton, to be
played here soon, now promises lo
be one of the highlights of the
season. In other years Comanche,
De Leon and Dublin have supplied
most of the real opposition to the
Jackets but Hamilton has been
coming alcng fast this ye®r
the 6 to 6 tie they earned last
week with Comanche stamps them
as a real conference threat.
A few of the highlights on the
Hamilton-Comanche game brings
out much interesting information,
and since the Bulldogs play here
soon a report is given on the game
as nlaved in Hamilton last week.
The Hamilton Hieh School Bull-
dogs snd the Comanche Hio-n
School Indians played a 6 to 6 tie
•t Hamilton la«t Friday in the
first Class B District 15 football
game for each dub.*
Hamilton took the lead early In
the first quarter when an Indian
fumble gave the Buliodgs possess-
inn of the ball ofi the Comanche
24 yard line. On the first plav Ro-
berts scored on an end-around play.
Hale’s place kick fo,- extra point
was blocked.
Neither Hub showed much of-
fense for the remainder of the first
quarter, but early In the second
period the Indiana drove over for
a touchdown after a sustained
drive from mid-field, featuring a
•erica of ahort lln« plunges by
Johnnv Mohon and “Red” Durham.
