Spring Creek for several months. It
will be' remembered that the Herald
gave a detailed statement of the beach,
bath house and area of the lake In an
account published a few weeks ago.
J. M. Richardson, the plaintiff in the
injunction suit, is an older brother of
Lee Richardson, defendant, and has
spent a great many years in railroad
service as bridge foreman and car-
penter. He stated that he grew tired
of the railroad work and came to Par-
ker county several months ago, and
engaged with his brother in the con-
struction of the bathing beach. He
is a bachelor, and since coming to the
county, has made his home with his
brother and with friends on Spring
Creek.
The petition praying for jthe injunc-
tion sets forth the foVowip* allega-
tions as reasons why the injunction
should be granted, restraining R. 1..
Richardson from interfering with the
completion of the project:
“A verbal agreement was entered
into between J. M. and R. L. Rich-
ardson last summer, in which it is al-
leged that J. M. Richardson would fur-
nish the money and the brothers would
construct the beach and bath hoUbe
upon the land owned by Lee Richard-
son. It was also agreed that after the
completion of the project, J. M. Rich
ardsoni was to have control of the
operation of the beach and receive all
moneys until he had been fully reim-
bursed for his expenditures, when the
proceeds thereafter would be evenly
divided between the owners. The pe-
tition also states that on the 11th day
of January, a written argreement as
above outlined, was signed and filed
for record.
The petition further alleges that a
few days ago, when plaintiff, J. M.
with interest and attention to the ef-
forts of the girls to win the right to
represent Millsap at the coming meet.
Judges of the declamation contest
were T. W. Stanley, superintendent of
the Weatherford schools, and district
director of declamation in the eighth
interscholastic district, Miss Eula
Pickard, teacher in the High School
here, and George McCall, local attor-
ney. Several other Weatherfordites,
Including County Superintendent <3. M.
Winstead, attended the meeting.
Five senior girls and three Junior
girls entered the contest. One boy
also appeared and was conceded first
place in the absence of competition.
The Judges were almost stumped to
decide the winners, according to the
report of George McCall, spokesman
for the judicial committee. Bernice
Peters was awarded first 'place and
Ruth Hawkins second place in the
girls’ contest. First honors in the
Junior grlls’ tryout went to Mary
Pope. Vydell White was chosen for
second place.
Following the oratorical efforts,
Professor M. L. Granstaff, superin-
tendent of the Millsap High School,
introduced, or rather, presented Su-
perintendent Stanley of this city. In
a short talk, Mr. Stanley compliment-
ed the orators and commended the
school for its progressiveness under
the leadership of Professor Granstaff.
Mr. Stanley also told of the interscho-
lastic meet which is to begin here to-
morrow night and extended a hearty
invitation to the people of Millsap to
attend.
Miss Eula Pickard, of the Weather-
ford High School faculty, appeared
with a reading that Immediately prov-
ed so popular with the audience that
she was called to the floor a second
Richardson, tried to enter the grounds - tkne.
with his workers, teams, etc., to com-
plete the buildings and to strengthen
the dam with more dirt, etc., he found
the gates locked add defendant R. L.
Richard don forbid and prevented his
entrance to the works. For some rea-
son unknown to plaintiff, defendant
also ordered him not to enter the
grounds and all gates were locked
with pad locks and entrance denied.
He sets forth -that unless the dam
County Superintendent C. M. Win-
stead, in a few remarks, told of the
annual census taking, which is now
in progress throughout the county. He
called the attention of the Millsap
pepple to the fact that every school
child who is not drily entered on the
Mlllsap, Texas, March 21. — High
winds and much sand seems to be our
portion these days. A regular Mon-
tana blizzard swept down upon us
Saturday night and brought more ice
and cold than any spell of the winter
and the worst we can ever remember
for March. Garden vegetables, spring
oats, corn, and fruit crops is the toll.
We are hoping that some of the fruit
has escaped.

'bungalow on l}is new lot purchased
from Will Roy. Workmen are busy
finishing the interior. This will be
one of the prettiest and moat conven-
ient homes of the town.
Milt Armstrong has finished repair-
ing his home where it was damaged
recently by fire.
Ole Kidwell was coming down the
Highway from Weatherford and no-
ticed smoke puffing from cracks of
the house. He hastily drove into town
and secured help and drove back to
put out the fire which had gained Con-
siderable headway inside. The men
formed a bucket brigade and saved
the home and moat of the contents,

Save More Baby Chicks This Year
The very surest way you can save more baby
chicks this year is to use the right starting feed. Ordi-
nary grain feeds and home mixed rations kill countless
chicks every year. How often you hear the expression
“I had bad luck with my chicks. So. many of them
died.” In most cases the trouble is in the starting
feed. Make up your mind to save more baby rhirlra.
Purina Chicken Chowder and Purina
•Baby Chick Chow
fill every requirement of a perfect feed
for baby chicks. With Purina Poultry
Chows you can give your chicks a
double start. ,
Double development or money
back is the guarantee if, when fed
as directed, these two Chows do
not produce double growth over
ordinary grain feeds the first six
weeks.
Order these Chows now before
your chicks become stunted for
lack of proper nourishment.

and other baskets of flowers. Miss
