Contract Let For
Brazos Bridge
Contract for a bridge over the
Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos
River west of Rule was awarded by
the State Highway Department Tues-
day to Gaines, Yakum and Mackey of
Oklahoma City, according to advice
received here from Austin. The con-
tract price was given as $13,727. This
bridge is on Highway No. 120, anil
was washed out by the heavy rains
early last fall. Farmers in thut sec-
tion will be greatly benefitted by the
new bridge, as they have been forced
to ford the river in coming to Rule
and Haskell, and this has been im-
practical a part of the time due to
frequent rises on the river
Date for beginning work on the
bridge was not announced, tut it is
expected to be in the very near future

Barbecue A Success
Last Thursday was a day of great
success, at least for Aspermont and
Aspermont's trade territory, for there
was indeed plenty to eat and Mr. Deb-
nam, our County Agent, thinks that
the talks made by the several speak-
ers carried much information
will benefit the farmers and
raisers especially.
The morning program was:
Economical Swine Production by Mr
E. R. Eudaly, State Swine Husband-
man, and Soil Conservation by Mr.
Dickson, Superintendent Spur Exper-
iiment Station.
Afternoon Program:
Conservation in the Home by Miss
Myrtle Murray, College Station, Tex- ]
as; The Dairy Cow in the Farm !
Scheme by Mr. M. B. Oats, Wichita
Falls. Etomology by Mr. li. I!. Rep
pert, State Etomologist. Poultry Mar-
keting by Mr. Trice of Haskell.
Let us hope that Stonewall County
will be greatly benefitted by the les-
sons each of the speakers gave us.

Highway Road Meeting Sunday School Picnic
There will be a meeting ol' the
Commissioners' Court and Chambers
of Commerce and possibly some of the
high-ups of the Highway Commission
at Aspermont on next Tuesday the
28th of June.
This meeting is in interest of the
Great Plains Highway that runs from
Canada on through Texas and is to
designate the route to be taken thru
King, Stonewall and Jones Counties
