A gentleman who ltree about three
miles south of town brought to this
office Saturday ten ears of corn, plant-
ed after July 1, which he entered In
the Herald’s corn contest. Hf says
be will make about 40 bushels to the
acre, upon ground upon which he had
already raised a crop of Irish potatoes
this year, the potatoes producing about
60 bushels to the acre. The potatoes
brought him 146 and the corn is worth
about $35 per acre, the land thus pro-
ducing $80 worth of stuff this year, or
630 more than its value, in one year's
time. Thff gentleman in question be-
lieves in fertilizing and used about 50
wagon loads of manure on this land,
which he hauled at odd times. This
same gentlemen, whose name we with-
hold because he is a contestant in our
corn contest, raised nearly $1,000
worth of truck on eighteen acres this
season, or the value of the land in one
year. It pays to farm in Parker coun-
ty if you wlil get out of the .old ruts
and try to improve your own condi-
tion. Come to Parker county.

his bride of three weeks. After the

is rather a unique honeymoon. They

He set about this trying task and when
discharged from the hospital had the
fleas, which he had secured while
there, trained to do several tricks. He
continued training the insects and it
was but a matter of a short time until
he bad trained them to obey his every
bidding. This man was Anton Ruhl.
Today his two sons are following the
old Greek practice of training the flea,
not to battle, but to perform various
tricks, which one sees when he visits
a regular circus.
John Ruhl, the eldest son of the man
who revived this old custom, is in
Weatherford with the Nat Reiss Car-
nival company, which is to show here
during the fair. Mr. Ruhl's exhlbi
t’on is considered to be one of the fea-
ture attractions with ^he company.
As this is not Mr. Ruhl’s first visit
here, the residents of Weatherford
know that his performance is a genu-
ine one, and one which is sure to
please.

and the Mineral Wells High school drinking fountain for the North Side
team, resulted in a score of 6 to 0 in
favor of the boys from the Health Re-
sort.
The game is said to have been one
of the best ever witnessed In this city,
and the home boys, while good losers,
reflected much credit upon themselves
in the knowledge of the game they dis-
played.
Of course, the result was as was ex-
pected. as the Herald had already
pointed out in times past that it was
impossible to beat the denizens of the
neighboring resort Hn any kind of a
“kicking" contest. Due to the size of
their pedal extremeties and the fact
they are well versed in the \ art of
"kicking,” practicing from the time
they enter the world until the time
they cross the river Styx, they are past
masters in the art.
Our boys had no idea of winning in
such a contest. They merely wanted
a little practice.
school. They are succeeding well be-
yong expectation and have consider-
ably more than half the necessary
amount. Public drinking fountains are
generally recognized among well In
formed people as a necessity, especi-
ally where so many congregate, and It
is thought it will only be a short time
until all the schools in the city are
thus equipped.

Saturday was one of the best we hate
had this season, and from the reports
of the local merchants, It was a good
trading crowd, some reporting the
week’s business as being something
like $400 better than the same week
of last year. Considerable cotton was
disposed of, although the price was
not as good as It had been in the ear-
lier psrt of the week.
The fair at Poolvllle opened Friday
morning, and notwlthatandlgn the
threatening weather, the attendance
wae very good, especially In the after-
noon.
The farm and orchard exhibits were
not as numerous and varied as on oth-
er occasions, but very creditable, con-
sidering the season.
In the stock department some splen-
did young horses and mules were
shown, which is a good indication that
out farmers realize that It pays well
to give more attention to stock rais
ing. One span of two and three year
old mules were shown, on which the
owner, Mr. John Phillips, refused an
offer of $600. This span took first pre-
mium, but Mr. C. L. Reynolds was
close second.
In the afternoon there were tourna-
ment and foot races, also lady horse-
back riding.
Bird Season Open Nov. 1.
The bird season will be open next
Wednesday and already hunters are
making preparation for their annual
raids on the feathered population,
which is said to be better and more
promising than last year, When com-
paratively few birds were about.
Since last February the bird law
has included doves in its prohibition,
and this year opens the dove season
again. The first snow is being eagerly
watched for, when the rabbits will be
out in all their usual abundance and
easily tracked, but ready to give the
hunters a good chase.

In the district court the case of
Henry Smith, charged by indictment
with assault to murder, was called
Monday morning but owing to some

sent, it was cont’nued until the next
term of court.
Roy Britt, a negro charged with
burglary, was arraigned before the
court immediately after the Henry
Smith case was continued, and lmme

Jack Robbins of Plainview, came in
Friday morning and left almost im-
mediately for Springtown, where he
will spend a short while and then take
in the fair at Dallas. Jack up to
about the time he left Weatherford,
was connected with the Crowder bar-
ber shop, and left here rather under
protest of his friends, but says he has
a good thing at Plainview, and that
country is coming to the front very
rapidly, that crops are splendid and
the people in that country are making
arrangements to irrigate to a consid-
erable extent next year. Of course,
while Jack was raised on the farm, he
undoubtedly took but little interest In
the agricultural pursuits, and our
opinion is that Jack don’t know so
awfully much about farming. Several,
however, whom we have seen from
that place, corroborate Jack, and we
are reasonably sure Jack Is right.

College. Friday morning he, with sev-

the entire student body of that Insti-

there, this being a day set apart as

most prominent educators of the state
will be present and more than likely
there will be a larger attendance of
teachers and students in the city to-

very bard to get a special train tor

conditions all along the line, and his
request being received so late, he was
unable to get what he wanted. He In-
tended to have streamers extending
from one end of the coaches to the

this had to be dispensed with, because
of the lateness of the order. The Col-
