Miss Bess Mason reports a very
Interesting meeting at Moffat with
her canning club girls this week.
She said they had more things to
can and conserve than any other
place In the county recently. They
canned blackeyed peas, corn, beets
and tomatoes. She brought a tomato
to The Telegram office weighing
three-quarters of a pound and said
that Pearl Brown, aged 14, had raised
It and that she had a great many
more In her garden just like it.
The club at Moffat is a girls'
club and has a membership of twen-
ty-three, all present at the demon-
stration. The girls are fixing an ex-
hibit for the Bell county fair and
expect to carry off the prize. They
hold the blue ribbon now for largest
number of active members in any
one club in the county, If The Tele-
gram reporter is not mistaken.
Today Miss Mason goes to Sparks,
where the ladies and girls have
bought a steam pressure canner. She
will demonstrate in the home of
Mrs. Coker and will be accompanied
by Miss Von BlUcher. Thursday she
will meet with the girls of Armstrong
and Friday with the girls of Troy.

Good Grist of Koutlne Business Turned
Out and Water Bates Ques-
tion Discussed.
The city council met In regular
session last night wSth all members
present. Most of the session was
devoted to routine business, though
a good deal of time was devoted to
a discussion of water rates and the
status of the waterworks depart-
ment, the discussion beinf? brought
about by the question of cheaper
water rates for the small consumers
which was raised by Editor Bob
MeKinley of the Wage Earner, who
addressed the council on that sub-
ject.
The report of the city marshal
whs fitted, showing collections amoun-
ting to $169.30. City Attorney Lem-
ly reported the collection of J56.25
for a sidewalk which the city had
had constructed.
A. J. Jarrell addressed the council
in regard to a reduction in tax
rendition, saying that he and the
board of equalization were $8,000
apart in their estimates. The mat-
ter was referred to the tax commit-
tee with- power to act.
Bids were opened for six mules
which the city had decided to sell.
The bids were referred to the may-
or and finance committee with pow-
er to act.
Secretary Martin was instructed to
advertise for bids for a motor truck.
The council will meet in adjourned
session next Monday morning to
open these bids.

and approved and the secretary In-
structed to advertise for bids for a

council Robert MeKinley' had ad-
dressed the council with reference to
the city maintaining a free employ-
ment bureau, this being in line with
the suggestion of the State Labor
department. The committee report-
ed favorably on this suggestion last
night, and the bureau will be op-
erated under the direction of the
city secretary. All persons seeking
employment or those needing help or
labor of any kind are invited to leave
their applications with Mr. Martin
at the city hall, or to see him to
learn if such applications are on file
as may suit them.
The Water Hate Question.
The question of lower water rates
for the small consumers or of a
greater amount of water for the pres-
ent minimum quarterly charge—was
discussed by Mr. MeKinley, tvho
told the council that he was seek-
ing information, and desired to know
If the situation was sucli that a re-
duction of the water rates might be
possible.
Mayor Campbell and Alderman
Hartmann and Alderman McFadden
reviewed the status and financial
condition of the waterworks depart-
ment at some length, going Into de-
tails of financial condition of the
city when the present administration
was inaugurated. Mayor Campbell
said that an examination of the wa-
ter rates of the towns and cities of
Texas would reveal that Temple has
a rate as cheap as any other towns
similarly situate^}. He was glad the
discussion of the evening had been
brought up, and would be glad If
any one could show a way by which
It would be possible to reduce the
water rates here.
Eire Chief Tom. S. Wright, called
attention of the council to the prac-
tice of people blocking the way or
crowding about in autos when a fire
alarm was sounded. It was not only
a dangerous practice, he said, but
often delayed the fire department in
making a run to a fire. He hoped
an effort would bo made to remedy
the condition.
On motion the city secretary was
Instructed to notify the cemetery
association that the council will not
pay for lots In the cemetery for the
burial of paupers except where a
requisition has been received for the
lot.

IS SOME SHOOT
lOrSCQUTSIFIADTLETT
OFF FOR 10 DAIS OOTIIC
MANAGER CRAIG OF PEACHTRKE W- E Co* ot Bartlett National Bank
DAIRY FARM RECEIVED 950-
POCND PORKER MONDAY.
Santa Fe train No. 5 yesterday aft-
ernoon brought Manager Craig of the
Harvey House and Peachtree Farm, a
package from the company's farm at
Newton, Kan.—and It was some pack-
age, as testified by the baggage room
boys who handled it at the depot.
Outwardly It was a wooden crate
of somewhat pretentious dimensions,
and in the crate was what Manager
Craig calls a "pig"—a swine specie
of the Duroc Jersey strain, weighing
Just 950 pounds, or fifty pounds un-
der half a ton.
Answering a question from the re-
porter, Manager Craig said he did not
know the exact value of the hog.
However, the reporter was in search
of actual Information, so while wait-
ing for his ounce ana a half order of
ham (price 50 cents) at the Harvey-
lunch counter a few moments later,
he figured it out on the back of the
bill of fare: 950 pounds of pork, at
J7 1-2 cents per ounce (Harvey prices)
is $5,700.
The big hog is for breeding pur-
poses out at the l'eachtree dairy farm,
where they are doing a great deal for
this section of the state by demon-
strating the value of pure bred hogs
and dairy cattle. To those who will
avail themselves of the free Informa-
tion to be picked up around this
model farm it is of more value in
some ways than a government dem-
onstration farm. Their system of as-
certaining whether or not a dairy cow
is paying for her board and incident-
als, as well as showing a profit for
the company, is unique and complete;
and their method of producing pure
milk and of handling it in such a w ay
as to keep it pure should be studied
and adopted by commercial dairy men
in the Interest of the health of the
community.
Croup, VVhooplng-Cough Relieved.
Children's diseases demand pre-
paredness. When the child wakes
you at night, gasping and strangling
for breath, how thankful you are to
have Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey at
hand. This effective remedy loosens
the mucous and permits free and nat-
ural breathing. Its soothing balsams
heal the irritated membrane and ar-
rests further inflammation. Pleasant
to take. Keep Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-
Honey in the house for all colds and
bronchial troubles. At your druggist,
25c. _
At the present rate of increase in
the consumption of native timber in
New Zealand it is estimated that the
supply of standing timber will last
not more than thirty years.

Cox, assistant cashier of the Bartlett
National bank, left this afternoon

gates are formed Into a cook table and
the bed of the wagon is turned upside j
down and furnishes a first class din- i

The Clayton Company.
"My Uncle From New York" was
presented fcy the Clayton Comedy
company last evening to an appre-
ciative audience. This is a very
comical and laughable bill and the
entire time of the show one laugh
after another was heard. The come-
dians do their parts well, the song
numbers were well received, being
new and catchy, and the chorus is
one of beauty and grace. In all the
bill is well staged and handled by
capable performers.
Mr. Clayton is growing in favor
each day and is answering questions
that seem to be unanswerable. This
demonstration in psychology is by far
the best ever seen In Temple.
This company is the best seen here
In several years and is well worth
your while to go and see.
Tonight an entire change of pro-
gram, new songs, new wardrobe and
new wit and humor.

"Busy? Great guns, man, this Is
the busiest place this side of the
French firing line. We are working
every man we have, and all we can
get," replied a prominent automobile
man yesterday to the query of a Tele-
gram representative if the new regis-
tration law was making temporary
business for the automobile houses of
Temple. "We have just sent to the
highway commission a check for near-
ly a thousand dollars and that Is for
only one day."
This is tho report all over Temple.
All other business has been laid in the
shade. And it is reasonable to sup-
pose that 3,000 automobile owners
all clamoring for registration would
give somebody a job. Of course Tem-
ple won't be called upon to fill out
registration blanks for all these cars,
but she has a large part of it.

new law.

Up to the Women
Temporarily the home guard of men retire
from the field of war activities, to give the
women a chance.
The women are called to the colors, in insti-
tuting economics in the homes—a campaign to
eliminate waste and to hold down the lid on
extravagance. It is for the helping of the sol-
diers in the field and for the succor of desti-
tute women and children in the war areas.
The men have enlisted, have taken Liberty
bonds and have subscribed to the Red Cross, as
their present activity—they have led the work
in these lines, assigned by the women.
Now, the women take the lead, and the men
must help them.
Don't forget, that in any financial matter re-
quiring our help, our doors swing inward.
