ferred, according to Roy M. Lee,
Chancellor Commander.
A contract was let Monday after-
noon by j. 0. Tucker for the con.
structlon of a new brick building to
supplement the building now ocu.
pled by the Gladlsh Motor Company
on the southwest corner of the
squares, Messrs Orms and Ashworth
have the contract, and the building
Is supposed to be completed within
thirty-five or forty days, weather per-
mitting.
The building will be Just east of.
and connected with the present Tuck-
er building, housing the Gladlsh Mo.
tor Company. The latter company
will occupy both buildings whan
completed. Two large connecting
doorways will be built, one at the
front and one in the rear, to permit
cars to be transferred from one room
to the other. The new biulding will
be 26x100 feet. The frame building
now occupied by the T. P. Everett
Insurance Company will be torn
down. Mr. Everett contemplates
moving his office to the T. L. Bloom
building on the corner of the square.
Some three feet will have to be taken
off of the frame building now occu.
pled by Tom Dawson’s Shoe Shop,
to make room for the outer wall of
the building.
The building will be erected ex-
pressly for the use of the Gladlsh
Motor Company, whose automobile
sales business has grown to such
proportions that the present build-
ing le inadequate for office, storage
room and a repair shop. The new
building will be used principally as
show room for the Studebaker and
Chevrolet automobiles, and probably
the repair shop will be In the rear
end. The new room will extend
back ten feet farther than the pres-
ent building, affording ample space
for a driveway behind the old build.
Ing and into the new.
In speaking of the improvements,
Mr. Tucker said, "Boy, Howdy. Look
what a good rain and a snow will
do.”

oline, from Burkbumett and other

Chief among the cases set for
hearing today but postponed was
the application for a general reive,
ion and readjustment of freight rates
on lumber shipped from Southeast
Texas. This case has been pending
before the commission for three
months but has been postponed two
times. Other cases postponed from
today were:
Application to apply Beaumont
rates from Caison and South Beau-
mont. '
To cancel stop rule for partial un-
loading on ribbon eaae syrup.

ment rules to cotton and cotton lln.

Schools of Parker county will re-
ceive only about one-half the amount
of state aid which they were accord-
ed last year, according to a detailed
statement of the- apportionment for
this year, given to the Herald by C.
M. Winstead, county superintendent.
Following it an explanation of the
state aid situation, by Mr .^instead,
and below Is given the amount each
school is to roceive: •
"I am giving here, the state aid ap-
portioned to the schools of the county.
Last year the schools of Parker coun-
ty received 984,888.05. This year we
were notified' In November that our
part onto be* 113,990, or about 53 1-2
per cent of-that amount. Two reasons
may be given for this reduction. The
state had laBt year one and one-half
million dollars for Its rural schools.
This year we have only one million
dollars. Again, because of the present
financial condition more schools ap-
plied for aid this year than applied
last year.
"There wt9 another thing that was
a material factor in the distribution
of this fund this year. The short term
schools, under the law, had to be cared
for first. This made It necessary to
give more to some schools than to
others, because some schools were In
much worse condition, financially, than
others.
“In handling this matter, 1 felt that
1 should bring to bear every force that
would help the Inspector to make a
Just distribution of this fund. In this
connection, I wish to acknowledge the
service rendered by our former super-
intendent, V. P. Craven, who very gen-
the smalt number of erously spent Saturday afternoon with
us in going over and rechecking the
whole apportionment.

With the alow, steady rain pelting
the housetops, today Is a moat Meal
time for a discussion of the coming
baseball season, by the “Old Wood
Stove League,’- and .while toe dia-
mond at Fair Park U securely anch-
ored under some shf inches of water,
yet we must begin now to prepare
for the installation as It were, of
one of the fastest baseball teams
thht ever Won laurels for the city
of Weatherford, t
Indications are today, that there
is just one thing lacking to place
Manager Henry Williams and Cap
Renshaw ln the seventh havaen of
delight and we firmly believe that
their worries and anxious doubts, are
groundless. We refer,to the proper
financial and moral support, princi-
pally financial. Although a financial
suport without the aforementioned
moral support is well nigh worthless,
yet with a good, sound monetary
backing, a team will be placed in
the field that will win moral sup.
port and a large attendance right
from the word go.
Lets review the past history of
the club and the material that is
now. or will soon be, available for
the 1923 team. The Antelope* were
acknowledged to be a little weak in
the pitching squad last season, 6spe.
dally when a number of games
came along In the came week. Never-
theless, the team won seventy-five
per cent of the games played, some-
times through scientific pitching, but
more often won by the unsurpassed
fielding of both the infield and the
outfield. The pitching staff last year
was good, but rather spasmodical,
and owing to
Gingers, it was often necessary to
work a man before he had secured
the necessary rest. The pitching, in
oases like this, was of course more
or less problematical, and not safe
to depend upon. A majority of tbe
hurling staff last year, needed sev-
eral days rest between games, some,
times as much as a week or ten
days. With proper backing, Manager
Williams believes that he can se.
cure a pitching staff this spring
that will equal almost any bunch of
hurlers in the Bush Leagues. For
instance, he is figuring on Stewart,
jo© Chandler,' Pres Walden, Laity
Morton, and if possible. Jimmy Jones
of Springtown. Dell Morgan will
probably be in the outer garden
with Logan and Harry Curtis. Rig-
gins has a vendors lain on toe short
stop position, and can’t be excelled
In that locality. There is now a
wealth of good material from which
can be selected a first baseman,
second baseman, and the final corner
can be filled with a man who "stays
ln there" every minute of play. Of
ooure, Cap Renshaw owns that little
square behind the plate, and like the
"Squatters" of old, who settled on
the frontiers, can be depended upon
to "squat” behind the old plate and
give high and lofty signals to as-
sociates in the distance.
As we i«aid , before, the financial
support and proper backing of the
people of Weatherford is all that
remains to construct positively the
best baseball team that ever played
on a local lot. Not only should the
team be given, a good sendoff, but
every person in Weatherford who
can possibly do so, should attend
every game played during the sea-
son.
The team was more or less hah.
dleaped laet year, and could not get
some of the i best teams here. For
instance, such teams as Thurber,
Eastland, Decatur and other fast se.
mi-professional teams/ would not
come to Weatherford last, year be-
cause the local .team could not guar-
antee them enough returns, to meet
their expenses. This was a great
handicap. Weatherford fans. would
have witnessed some real games had
these higher class ’ tea** been se-
cured- This should not be this year.
The 1928 team sohuid be backed to
tbe limit. The games should' be at.
tended by every toper of baseball in
the city whenever possible.

The program for the day was on
“Our Public Library." Mrs. Neal

shire gave talks on different phases
of the subject. Two little Misses
from Springtown, Misses Mary Boyd
and Gladys Shirley, added delightful
variety to the program with two well
executed humorous readings. Fol-
lowing are a few excerpts from the
taiks. Mrs. Butler: “A library is
an educational institution; a librar-
ian, profession. A good library
makes it possible for us to live,
move and have our being with the
master minds. The highest aim of
a library—the right book to the right
person at the right time!" The
main theme of Judge Shropshire's
talk was a county free library for-
Parker County. One can be had
any time a petition asking for same
is signed by a majority of the county ,
voters and presented to the com-
missioners court. For maintenance
of said library a tax not to exceed
five cents on the $100.00 valuation
of taxable property may be levied.
Judge Shropshire suggested that the
excavation of the basement of the
court house be extended and a coun.
ty free library with ladies rest room
be made there.
At the next meeting of the club,
the annual election of officers will
be held, also the flower exchange..
Each member is asked to bring
flower seeds or cuttings to exchange.
