True Story of Parker County Boys.
Editor Herald:
On October 5, 1914, a certain boy,
living west of Weatherford some eight
miles, left his home and all that was
dear to him and started west to make
his fortune. He regretted leaving
very much, but as times were hard at
home he thought it best to go where
’’money grows on trees.” Before he J Iligh‘t last in a blaze,'’and

London, Dec. 21.—Plans of King
George for a great celebration of the
seventieth birthday of his mother,
Queen Alexandra, were entirely set
aside this year, on account of the war
and she spent the day quietly.
Among the guests who had been In-
vited to attend the festivities planned
were Emperor William and the Em-
press. In connection with the queen's
birthday it was recalled by many
that the marriage of Queen Alexan-
dra was the first ceremonial function
\ wliicli the Emperor ever was allowed
| to attend. He then was a small and
fidgety boy of four years. During the
ceremony, his uncles, the Dukes of
Connaught and Edinburgh, posted

Red Cross Segls Sell Readily.
According to previous announce-
ment, the ladies in charge of the sale
of the Red Cross Seals, installed a
desk in the postoffice corridor Mon-
day morning for the convenience of
the public in mailing their Christmas
packages this week
Postmaster Richards, with his ac-
customed politeness, provided the
volunteer workers in this good cause
with every convenience, so -far as his
facilities extended, even going to the
length of nailing up a door near their
desk, through which the north wind
poured with chilly blast.
Mrs. Sam Shadle had the honor of
being the first customer who ap-
proached the desk, seeking the tiny
squares bearing the emblem of the
Red Cross society, the campaign for
which is being waged this week
throughout every town, city and ham-
let in the great state of Texas.
Mrs. W. C. Seaberry of Poolville
was another customer whose atten-
tion was attracted by the flaming
posters bearing the Christmas wreath
and the Red Cross symbol, she being
in charge of the sales of seals at Pool-
vile.
Miss Margaret Moseley rendered ef-
ficient aid throughout the day to the
temporary chairman, although there
was a time when in making the nec-
essary small change of dimes, nickles
and pennies, such a tangle of odd
change resulted that the combined ef-
forts of Prof. Stanley, Bookkeeper
Buchanan and the chairman were nec-
essary to “keep the record straight."
