Dr. JL C. Whiddon, secretary of the

having the premium money mailed out
to all who won cash prizes at the re-
cent show held here. The letter which
accompanies the checks, is as follows:
“We enclose herewith premium
, money won by you as an exhibitor
at our livestock show.
“We also enclose ribbons on cattle
and horses for those to whom rib-'
bons have not already been given.
Ribbons on hogs and poultry were
distributed on the day of the show.
“The board of managers of the
Cooke Cdunty Livestock Association
take this opportunity of thanking
you for your support of the live-
stock show. Considering the time
afforded for getting livestock and
poultry in shape, the show was quite
creditable and should be a tremen-
dous factor towards developing in-
terest in the future for better live-
stock in this community.
“All financial obligations were
met by the Cooke county Livestock
Association, and the show could not
not have been held except for its
support.
“Please keep this point in mind
and speak a good word, for our or-
pinization and support it whenever
it is possible for you to do so.”
A drive for membership for the Asso-
ciation is planned in the near future

interested in the cattle or hog industry
will become connected as a member in

New York. Nov. 16.—Stan Coveles-
kie, .Cleveland’s star Pole pitcher, had
just battled his way through a
crowd of jubilant fans into the
house.
He had just won his third game of
the world’s series and pitched the In-
dians into their first world’s champion-
ship.
The fans were acclaiming him the
“greatest of the great.”
A fan rose from a seat back of the
press box, stretched and said rather
wisely:
“Well, Cov, they oughta give you a
big hand. It’s your last game.”
It’s true. Coveleskie is through. He’ll
never pitch another game like that.
Neither will Burleigh Grimes, king of
the National League hurlers and an-
other star of the series.
They, are through unless the major
leagues reverse their ruling abolishing
the spitball this year.
When freak deliveries were put under
the ban last w inter, the moguls gave the
spitball pitchers a season to develop
other deliveries.
Coveleskie tried early in the season to
get along without the “spitter,” but he
was unsuccessful. He wasn’t effective
with a curve ball and was forced to go
back to this forte.
Urban Shocker of the Browns and
Jack Quinn, of the Yankees are in the
same boat.
Bill Doak, of the Cards. Fillingim, of
the Braves and Phil Dodglas of the
Giants will have to go along with
Grimes in the National League, if the
rule is not revoked.
Rather than lose such valuable pitch-
ers, it seems probable that the club
ow ners will seek to have the rule amend-
ed. ' A
President Heydler, or the National
League, has maintained that there isn’t
a chance to save the “spit-bailers.”
During the last season a campaign was
conducted among the players to have
the rule changed.
It was suggested to bar newcomers
with the “spitter,” but to permit those
pitchers now’ using the moist delivery’
to tontine it until their career ends.
Une club owner in each league is said
to be ready to come to the aid of the
“spitters” at the winter meeting of the
major leagues.

The program and plan for this special
service was arranged by Dr. R. E.
Joiner, the pastor, who was an active
war worker and gave much of his time
for carrying on the work at home dur-
ing the duration of the war. His ad-
dress Sunday was most timely and he
put his best effort into the sermon, urg-
ing the ex service men to become lead-
ers of their community and church as
they had become leaders, thinkers and
doers during the war. and were instru-
mental in bringing peace to the world.
A short synopsis of his address is as
follows:
“In the 124th Psalin we have these
words: 'If it had not been the Lord who
was on our side.’ In that most critical
stage of the war and in the thoughts
and joys of the mighty victory, the
words of this Psalm was the sentiment
of tUe commanders, soldiers and citizens
of the American and allied nations. And
on this second anniversary of the sign-
ing of the Armistice, this sentiment is
most appropriate for our mediation.
“Out of a full heart, we desire to pay
a tribute of admiration and affection
to our soldiers, and we sincerely de-
sire also to honor the memory of those
who gave their lives l>oth in the train-
ing camps and on the battlefields dur-
ing this awful struggle. From the day
the solemn pronouncement was made by
President Wilson: ‘The supreme test
of the nation has come. We must all
speak, act and serve together,’ there
was a definite consecration made upon
the part of the young manhood of this
country to the end that the war should
be won. You turned away from high
and promising business and professional
relations and lucrative- positions and
served your country with an efficiency
and fidelity that baffle all human de-

Austin. Nov. 16.—“Bonds of Good
Health” will be sold in Texas during the
Christmas seal sale, with “interest pay-
able in improved community health.”
This is a statement made today by the
Texas Public Health Association, which
is directing the sale of 20.000.000 Christ-j
inas Seals in the Lone Star State.
The bonds are printed like those is-
sued by corporations or governmental
divisions, with coupons attached. They
are issued in amounts of five, twenty-
five, fifty, one hundred, and one thous-
and dollars in place of a similar amount
of Christmas Seals.
During the 1919 Christmas seal sale
several banks and individuals bought
$1,000 worth of seals, and this year tu-
berculosis workers expect to sell a large
number of the $1,000 bonds and those
of smaller denominations. They will
be given in lieu of the little stamps of
iealth. to those who give large sums to
the anti-tuberculosis cause and who
cannot use a great number of the Chnst-
. mas seals.
A coupon for each month of the year
is attached to the “health bond,” telling
twelve activities of the state and local
anti-tuberculosis associations in “the
(Yusade of the Double Barred Cross,” as
this better health campaign is called.
The intensive sale of Christmas seals
will begin December 1st all over the
United States, and the Texas Public
Health Association and its local anti-
tuberculosis societies expect to sell
$200,000.00 worth of the little seals and
the health bonds. Ninety-five per cent
of this money will remain in Texas for
health work along Texas people.

You have shown yourselves able

to appreciate as possibly never before in
the annals of time that true valuato are

interests. And in the light of this
mighty victory, purchaaed at the pi ice
of supreme unselfishness and sacrifice,
we are challenged by the supreme test
to repudiate all pettiness and slackery
and to dedicate ourselves to the tasks
now here with a courage and fidelity
that will adequately meet every de-
mand.
“A British officer paid the high tri-
bute to the American soldier by saying,
’They saved Paris, they saved France,
they’ saved England, and they saved
Christianity to the world.’ We are told
that there seemed to be a feeling among
our allies that the place the Christian
religion had in the very history and life
of this nation income wonderful way
entered into the quality and power of
our soldiers. Then shall we fail to
recognize always that, ‘If it had not
been the Lord who was on our side.’

Armistice Sufiday was suitably ob-
served here with a special service at
the First Presbyterian church and the
building was crowded with people who
were anxious to give some expression
of appreciation of the men who offered
their lives for their country and also
remember those who made the supreme
sacrifice and answered the last roll call.
' The ehurch building was beautifully
decorated with hanging vines, flowers
and pot plants, and a program suitable
for ’the occasion was delightfully ren-
dered to the inspiration of rhe large
audience. The Chamber of Commerce
Band rendered a most pleasing program
of sacred music, and the choir and au-
dience joined in singing the old hymns
heard for generations back and which
followed the soldiers to the battle field.
One of the pleasing features of the
