Mitln.
Visitors is the city last Monday,
the first Trades Day for Hereford,
aingled in the proper and compata-
ble proportion* business and pleasure.
The free matinee at McGhee's Star
Theater drew a packed house. This
event came immediately after Mollie
Bailey's Texas show had given an
afternoon "puhformance." The
brass band quickened the step of
pedestrians. The cool day called
out a few last winter's overcoats, but
the day was enjoyed by all. The
merchants had a good run in the
various lines as advertised, besides
selling a good spinkle of other goods.
The purchasers, as far as is known,
were all well pleased with the mer-
chandise, the price and the service
rendered. One woman was heard to
remark that she bought a pair of
shoes cheaper than the same quality
could be bought in Kansas City.
The head of the family was showing
what a good quality suit be had
bought and was delighted with the
low price. His neighbor was telling
how well his wife was pleased with a
ready-made dress and some shirt
waists shf bad pnrcfe|#td at Second
Monday prlcfci:" Another good
woman, who does all of her own sew-
ing and also that for her family of
three girls, was telling what a nice
line of piece goods she had bought
to make summer dresses for herself
and girls. A good housekeeper
bought a ten dollar art square for
about half the price and was more
than delighted. In addition to the dry
goods, shoes and clothing carried
away, it was perfectly evident from
the packages in the buggies and
automobiles of the ranchmen that a
few delicacies from the grocery stores
were bought. We believe everybody
to be satisfied, the first Trades Day
was a success and this Second Mon-
day starts a wave of social and busi-
ness co-operation betwixt town and
country that should benefit everyone
who wants to be benefited. The next
trades day will be duly observed—
Second Monday in July. Big time
already being planned. Get ready
to come.
The Bay View Club.
Mrs. Arnold was hostess to the
Bay View Club on Thursday after-
noon, having as guests, Mrs. Everts
of Houston, Mrs. West, Mrs. O. E.
Thomas and Mrs. P. W. Price.
Biographical sketches of Eugene
Field, Lew Wallace, James Whit-
come Riley and Jack London, some
readings, and informal discussions,
made the club hour both profitable
and interesting. Indeed, the entire
club year has been one of exception-
al pleasure. The program was fol-
lowed by a social hour in which con-
vocation and games were enjoyed by
all- An apetizing salad course was
served.
Education Mass Meeting.
On account of the threatening
weather, the public meeting at the
court house Tuesday night was not
largely attended, thougb a number
braved the elements to hear Miss
Kutebo of the West Texai State
Normal Collegfe and the local speak-
ers. Mite Ram bo discussed—-"The
Value of Industrial Training," and
all who heard her remarks were
pleased with what she said and the
manner in which she considered the
subject. She considers that indus-
trial training has as mueh education-
al value as any of the academic sub-
jects, and that in pursuing a subject
of domestic science, the pupil is
trained hot only in the hand, but in
the head as well; so the industrial
training subjects have a double value
in school. The other speakers who
followed endorsed very heartily what
bad been said. Messrs. Ray and
Garrison spoke on related sudjects
The object of the meeting was, in
fact, to determine what course the
Hereford school should pursue in
the matter of co-operating with the
state in establishing a domestic
science department. Another meet-
ing will likely be called at which a
full attendance of all patrons is de-
sired.

The City Commission is to be con-
gratulated upon the purchase of the
new auto fire truck to take the place
of the horses and w^goa. This auto,
truck was made Texas. The
Wichita Falls concern is the first to
put out a medium priced fire truck
for the use of the smaller towns and
Hereford is the first one to take ad-
vantage of the new equipment. The
truck arrived last Monday and on
Tuesday the fire bdys cranked it up
and "run" it arouud town to see how
it worked. The truck is a thing of
beauty and it will make Hereford
look like a city to our visitors. The
outfit is well built and it is an attrac-
tive piece of fire fighting apparatus.
We set the price on everything in
the lumber line. R. H. Kemp. 18-2t
J. P. Simms, who lives some 35
miles from Hereford in the northwest
part of the county, was in this week
on business. Mr. Simms has been in
this county for some 15 years and is
engaged in stock farming, in which
line be has made a success.

Files Brands in County Clerk's
Office.
This week, a copy of every issue
of the Brand tince its beginning was
filed in the county clerk's office.
These files include Volumes 1 to XII
inclusive, each volume being bound
aBfhnlsly. The .first issue, of tfttk
Brand appeared February 23, 1901,
under the name of the Hereford Re-
porter, but the owners after one year
changed the name to the Hereford
Brand, the first issue after the change
being made in March, 1902. The
first issues of the paper were small,
consisting of four columns, and
usually just four pages. The files of
the paper were placed in custody of
the county, because of the historical
and legal value of the paper, it often
occurring that a copy of the paper is
needed in court. The danger of fire
in the business section of town and
the security of the court house vaults
made the step necessary. In some
states, the law requires that a com-
plete file of all papers be kept with
the clerk, but the absence of such a
law in Texas, does not lessen the
necessity of preserving valuable
records.

After a good shower last Friday
late in the afternoon amounting to
one-fourth inch, the sky did not clear
during the next several days,
day heavy clouds Boating over and
st times a misty rein falling. But
Wednesday, the battle of clouds be-
gan with a light rattle of the infan-
try, continuing all day, just enough
to keep everybody undercover and
out of view of the firing line. During
the early part of the night, however,
the heavy field guns were moved into
position, the lightning search lights
wire turned on, and the heavy can-
nonading opened. All night long
this "battle of the clouds" was kept
up. At times a lull would occur as
if the commanding general had or-
dered "slow firing" in order to take
a survey of the destruction of the
enemy's ranks and fortifications.
Then again, the heaviest pieces would
be brought into rapid action and such
a down pour of "shot and shell" no
soldier ever witnessed. When the
day brought the return of the light
and the eye could view the situation,
the whole surface of the earth was
covered, not in dead and wounded,
but with water—water, nothing but
water. The roads were literally full
and running over. The lakes were
receiving the flood of water and every-
thing that was not under good shelter
was wet through and through. The
total amount of precipitation during
the twenty four hours was full two
inrhes. Some from the country re-
port as much as four inches, others
less. In any way you take it, the
rains during the last ten days have
been fine for the country. Some of
the irrigation wells have been put
out of "commission" on account of
the extra irrigation from the clouds,
but we won't mind that.
Rebekabs Off to Claude.
The team of Oddfellows and Re-
bekabs left in full force yesterday
morning for Claude to attend the
annual meeting of the Panhandle
Association. They went down to
take off a few of the honors and
prizes. Those who were in the
crowd, as far as could be learned,
were : Mesdames Clarence Smith, C.
L. Sullivan, H. H. Hawkins, L.
Johnson, J. O. Lindsay, G. A. Stam-
baugh, R. W. Lovelace, A. H. Ellis-
ton, W. C. Jones. Theodore Cochell,
