About the Big Snow.
Many questions have been asked as
to when Weatherford territory was
ever visited by such a snow as fell
here Sunday. There have been vari-
ous opinions as to the date, but J. B.
Price seems to have settled the ques-
tion by exhibiting a numbef of snow
scenes taken March 10, 1897, at which
time it is claimed that a 10-inch snow
fell in Weatherford and surrounding

Mary Pickford Coming.
Manager Courtney announces with
pleasure the booking for a near date
of the first presentation in this city
of Mary Pickford in her new photo
play, "Less Than the Dust.” No star
Of screen land is so admired and so
affectionately regarded as Mias Pick-
ford, whose past creations we all re-
member for their real art and charm.
Her screen appearances at the Lyric
Theater during this engagement will
'have an additional interest in that it
will mark her first presentation here
of a production made under her own
guidance and directed by her Own
company, the Mary Pickford Film
Corporation. It will be the most elab-
orate production in which sJhe has ever
been seen, one that has been given a
masterly direction by John Emerson.
11 Its scenes, are laid in India and Eng-
land, Miss Pickford playing the part
of a cast-away, a girl of English birth
who, having been adopted by a Hindu
sword maker, is reared among the na-
tives of the lower caste. Its story is
full of realism and dramatic strength
with an appealing love story in which
the girl and a young English officer
are the central figures. Miss Pickford
has surrounded herself with a cast of
distinction with a company of unusual
size appearing in the various elabo-
rate and picturesque scenes.

the party to return to Weatherford
on Monday, January 20.
1 T. O. Walton, of the Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture, who was in
charge of the team, had prepared some
interesting eomparisons of what 12-
cent cotton at $60 a bale would buy.
as against 20 cent cotton at $100 a
bale. For example, $60 a bale cetton
would buy—
89 bushels of potatoes at 70c.
750 pounds lard at 8c.
22 barrels of flour at $4.50.
375 pounds bacon at 16c.
100 bushels of com at 60c.
6 tonB of bgy.at $10.
30 pairs 'of shoes at $2.00.
others to reduce and let him raiee cot-
ton to be sold at a profit. The djjjy
: falls alike upon all.
j "2—Because cotton reached 20 last
year is no proof it won’t be 6c this
year. Cotton dropped from about 18c
in 1903 to 6c in 1904; cotton brought
$1.80 per pound in 1865, but dropped
to 8c by 1868. - #
| "3—There is no likelihood of a sur-
plus of Mod for some years to come,
’and all kinds of livestock are almost
'sure to command good prices,
J "4—Much of our soil is demanding
a rest from cotton and Bhould be ro-
tated to fibrous rooted crops.

that -diversified farming is the safest
