Farm Exhibits Judged.
The exhibit of farm products was
very creditable in every way. Most
all the products that are extensively
raised is on display in quantities
sufficient to satisfy the people that
It can be successfully grown and
grown at a profit. The display is
arranged in the center of the build-
ing In a very attractive manner. Hay
grown and baled in Parker county
was used in making the foundation
of the display and the corn, maize,
cotton, and peanuts, all the small
grains, as well as vegetables of
most all kinds were arranged In a
way to make a display that success-
fully showed the wonderful resourc-
es of Parker county.

number of the business men of the
city with booths displaying their
merchandise at the fair. The Hop-
kins Motor Company has a Ford Se-
dan and a Fordson Tractor on ex-
hibit. The Ford is Mr. Hopkins’
long suit and he has enjoyed a fine
business. He has a disc harrow
hooked to his tractor and several
times he has demonstrated the trac-
tor to interested spectator*.
Oscar Jones, the local Dodge deal-
er, has a Dodge Sedan on exhibi-
tion. It was not known that space
cooW be secured for an exhibit at
the ehow and Mr. Jones did not have
time to arrange for an extensive dis-
play. This Sedan has been attract-
ing attention and he says he wilt
likelymake several sales on the
strength of this showing.
The gas Rtove people have had. an
opportunity of showing their mer-
chandise in actual service. The
building was piped and the Weather-
ford Gas Appliance Company has a
complete line of stoves on exhibition
and several of them in use in heat-
ing the building.
The Frantz Hardware Company
also has a stove exhibit that is
worthy. Several of the stoves of
this film are scattered over the
building and in use.
Another exhibit that is attracting
attention is a complete model of a
oil well in action. This model was
constructed by R. L. Newberry who
lives in Weatherford but the model
was made while he was at Millsap.
Everything is complete, including
the power, which is furnished by a
very small electric motor.
The Harvest Show continues to
attract large crowds, and the inter-
est is growing with each day. By
far the largest crowd that has at-
tend this year is there today and
carefully going through the exhibits.
Practically all the judging has been
completed and the judges are now

been up against Borne close decisions
and It has taken time and careful
examinations to place the ribbons.
The awards of the premium com-
mittees are coming just a little slow
at this time but the Herald will
get them all printed in the next
few days. Just be patient. We will
also give other features of the show
from day to day, «
The show will continue through
and Including Saturday night. A
program of entertainment is being
arranged for tonight and for tomor-
row night which will be held in the
show building. The home people
who cannot attend the show in the
day time can see everything at night.
The Fourth Ward Improvement
Club, the Daughter^ of the Confed-
eracy and (he Daughters of the
American Revolution each have
booths apd^sejjvigg lunches, pies
and other good' things to eat and
have been 4°!n,$ ® good business,
especially Friday.
Tift exhibits of the club' members
practically demonstrate that the
county can produce all the Hitwf
necessary for the sustenance of life,
when the section devoted to can-
ning and preserving was visited.
There we find canned fruits and
vegetables of all kinds. Preserves,
pickles and relishes, in fact, every-
thing necessary for the best meals
that can be served. The way It was
canned insures the purest products.
The exhibits of the girls further
shows their ability to make all the
necessary articles needed about the
home, from the simple cup towel to
the very nicest bed room sets from
the plain cook apron to the more
expensive dresses. This one depart-
ment alone is of incalculable value
for it shows our girls—the future
women of the county—are striving to
be worthy home makers. Miss
Myrtle Murray, a capable, efficient,
instructor, has done a work in this
county during the past year that
will bear fruit long after this splen-
did show has been forgotten.
The club boys have also made
some splendid records this year. The
greater interest in their work has
been with live stock. Hogs, and
dairy cattle have received more at-
tention during the past year than the
acre crop. The boys are not only
learning how to raise a good hog
and cow, but they are learning how
to judge the animats. The contest
in judging was instructive and It
was a surprise to farmer* of the
county to see the way in which
the boys pointed out the defects in
the animals as they were brought
op.
While the raising of livestock is
essential—in fact the farmer without
stock Is oeglecttng a very important
item—the growing of feed crops ie
necessary. The two must go to-
gether. The animal must be fed and
it is unprofitable to buy feed.'There
were several good exhibits of acre
crops made by the boys’ clubs, but
we must say—not in the nature of
a criticism however—that in this
one department the boys work seem-
ed to be short. County Agent, Robt
C. Withers has given the boys good
training and his work is commend
able. He has exerted considerable
effort with the boys and the farmers
in general and his work, especially
in the live stock interest is reflected
In the marked Improvement in the
live stock being raised in the coun-
ty.
The poultry department made a
showing that surpassed the most
sanguine expectation of the most en-
thusiastic chicken fanciers of the
county. The birds exhibited were
of a class that cannot be excelled—
A few were barred from competition
by the judges, the number being
even smaller than at some of the
large and pretentipus show. Another
noticeable fact was that the mem-
bers of the poultry clubs of the coun-
ty exhibited some of the best birds
in the show and as the work pro.
gresses we may even see greater
improvement in this great Industry.
A considerable number of good rab-
bits were shown as well as other
pet stock.
Tire several departments opened
to ‘the women of the county and
city were creditable. Taken as a
whoje the Harvest Show was a suc-
cess. A show of which all Tarker
county should be and doubtless is
proud.

The Weatherford Hi football teem
won the game Friday afternoon from
the Stephenville Hi on a score et
41 to 17. The game was pretty well
matched and during the first halt
the score was somewhat in doubt,
but as the game progressed, the

the game after a hot contest. The
full back and quarter back of the
Stephenville team were star* while
Hill, Ward and Cato starred for the
locals.
This is the eighth game the local
team has played, winning five of
them. The boys are preparing for
