Sunday night message was largely
about the war work, the opportunities
afforded the secretaries to reach the
men in the ranks, not only in a relig-

GASH AND CARRY!
Beginning April 1st my books will be
closed to all customers and from that
date I will sell strictly for Cash,
My advanced age and the fact that under the prevail-
ing conditions, it is much more difficult and expensive to
do a retail grocery business, forces me to change my meth-
od of doing business.
First, I want to thank my many customers for a liberal
business in the past, and now that I am going to sell all
goods for CASH, I believe I can make it to their interest
to continue to do their trading with me.
The ’’Cash and Carry” plan is being adopted in, many
cities, and in every instance has proven beneficial to both
the merchants and customers.
I expect to continue to carry a complete line of Gro.
eerie*, fresh from the manufacturers, and will at all times
serve my patrons with the best goods obtainable and at a
price that will make it worth while to trade with me.

B. W. Brock, living about seven
miles west of Weatherford, had the
I misfortune to lose his home and con-
tents by fire Sunday night, while the
family was at church at Beulah, in
the Fox community, only a mile away.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
the only theory advanced being that
the lamp attached to an incubator ex-
ploded and set fire to the building.
The loss falls heavy on Mr. Brock, as
all his household goods were lost, also
his smokehouse near the residence.
The Herald is informed that Mr.
Brock had a number of teams in Wea-
therford Monday and had purchased
lumber preparatory to rebuilding his
home at once.
Organized Slover Red Cross Auxiliary.
C. C. Barthold, in company with a
number of Red Cross workers, went
to Slover Sunday afternoon and or-
ganized an auxiliary to the parent
chapter in Weatherford. There were
a large number present from the com-
munity who manifested deep interest
in the work. The principal address
was made by Rev. J. N. McCain, after
which an organization was perfected
with Mrs. Pearl Reynolds, chairman;
Miss Pearl Scarlett, secretary, and
Mrs. Cummings, inspector.
Among the Weatherford Red Cross
workers were Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Bar-
thold, Mr. and Mrs. G. S. White, Mes-
dames W. D. Taylor, J. M. Hart gnd
J. D. Doughty, Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Er-

duty in whatever avocation of life
they enter, for the well rounded phys-
ical man is the one on whom the
state and nation will lay its hand
when matters of great moment are to
be considered.
Excellent records were made in the
meet.
Prof. R. D. Evans of the Pythian
Home was director of the contests,
the results of which are given below:
High jump, Fowler, Pythian Home,
first, 5 feet 5 inches.
Discus hurl, Kuykendall, W. H. S.,
first, 95 feet 6 inches.
100 yards dash, Williams, Pythian
Home, first, 10 3-5 seconds.
50 yards dash, Boyd, Pythian Home,
first, 5-45 seconds; Hendershott, Py-
thian Home, first, 5-45 seconds. (A
state record for junior boys in 50 yard
dash.)
Mile run, Cherry, Pythian Home,
first, time 5 minutes 24 seconds.
Pole vault, Caulifleld, Pythian Home,
first, 9 feet.
In class A, high school points were
equally divided between Weatherford
High and Pythian Home. Due to Fow-
ler and Cherry’s excellent work, the
Pythian Home was able to nose out
671 to Weatherford’s 61 points. It is
to be regretted that the class B high
schools did not help Davis’ men hold
the Pythian Home fleet footed - and
romping jumpers in check. Crosslin
of the Fox school did his, part, win-
ning enough points to make himself
eligible to enter the district meet.
This lad made a splendid showing for
his school.
In the senior girls’ division the Wea-
therford High school was able to win
by a margin of 34 to 28 over the Py-
thian Home seniors, while in the jun-
ior girls’ the Home team came back
and redeemed their older sisters’ de-
feat.
In the junior boys’ division Daven-
port’s Hill Billies mixed things for a
while, but with such lads as Cherry,
Hendershott, Yowell and Cooper all
winning over 15 points each, they
were unable to take first place.
The silver loving cup and the beau-
tiful silk championship banner both
go to the Pythian Home school. This
team entered nearly every event and
fought for the honors of blue and gold
as well as silver. Gold medals were
given to the individual winners and
souvenirs were given to the second
place winners in each division.

ter Fowler, Pythian Home, 25 points;
