Because of the fact that ten mem-
| bors of the Weatherford Band reside
in North Weatherford, and to show
the-r appreciation of the excellent
showing made by the Band in Dallas
and for the concerts rendered, the la-
dies and men folks of Couts Memorial
Church, invited the ,band boys and a
few other guests over Monday night
to a banquet and a feast of good fel-
lowship and pleasant social entertain-
ment.
Mrs. Paul Camp, assisted by the
young ladies of her Sundky School
clast, prepared the plate lunch, the
Iced drinks, cream and cake and a few
moments 'before nine o’clock phoned
the poys to come running. And they
came. The luncheon was served In
the basement, which is well prepared
for such occasions.
E. A. Camp acted as toastmaster and
consumer of plate lunches de luxe.
Following the supper, Rev. C. N. Mor-
ton, pastor of the church, welcomed
the visitors and spoke of the honor the
band has brought to Weatherford. W.
R. Wlterspoon presented a few statis-
tics relative to the population of North
Weatherford and her musical and iite-
rary progress. He said that out of the
1200 population of the North Side,
that approximately belonged to the
two churches in that part of the city
and that more than four hundred at-
tended the two Sunday Schools each
Sunday. He said that In the North
Side Baptist and Couts Memorial
Churches, there are more than sixty
musicians who play in bands, or arch
estras, including the Weatherford Mu-
nicipal Band and the musical organi-
placing zatjong 0f tj,e two churchps. One third
of the Municipal Band lives and be-
longs in North Weatherford, he said.
Also one-sixth of the total number
of public school teachers reside in
North Weatherford, although there is
only one school in that district. He
emnasized the fact that North Weath-
erford is one of the most highly cul-
tured sections of the city, in music,
literary pursuits and religiously. He
pledged the support of the North Side
to the Baud, so long as the organiza-
tion is kept on such a high mofal and
social plane.
W. A. White, president of the Cham-
ber of Commerce, called the Baiul, the
‘‘Chamber of Commerce Band,” and
assured the members that the Cham-
ber of Commerce would give financial
aid when needed.
Mayor Queen then followed by claim-
ing ownership of the band by term-
ing it the “Municipal Band.” It seem-
ed as if everybody wants to claim the
sponsorship for the organization,
which is very pleasing to the members.

is he a rich man, nor does the receipt
represent the clipping of bond cou-
pons, interest on railroad stocks or

of the season’s clip of wool and mo-
hair. We refer to Lieutenant Landon
Wythe who is sheep farming on the
Ben Woodhouse ranch in the Brazos
River territory. »
Last week be motored over to Fort
Worth, taking along 1520 pounds of
wool which he sold for 44 cents per
pound. Alongside of the wool was
750 pounds of Mohair which he sold
for 50 cents per pound, receiving in re-
turn therefor approximately one thou-
sand and forty dollars in cash.
'Mr. Wythe stated that he is jnst
entering the sheep and goat business
and the present clip does not repre-
sent the average yield which hd expects
to make in the future. He started late
last year and did not get a full year’s
clip from many of the herds. The
1520 pounds of wool was sheared from
231 sheep and the 750 pounds of Mo-
hair form only 155 goats. He expects
next spring and the goats from 6 to 7
the Rheep to produce 8 pounds of wool
pounds of fine mohair One seasons
clip represents just about the what
the sheep of goats would bring ontho
market, when they are fat. Therefore
one might sav that tbe'WSoly amimais

FT. WORTH LAWYERS
OPPOSE ABOLISHING
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Queen heaped a few boquets upon tll<
worthy head of Bill Hand in retalia-
tion for remarks and bread crumbs
passed while the Mayor was surround-
ing the big supper.
Leo Hartnett, as manager, treasurer
and general watchman for the band,
said that his duty is to “Follow the
Band’’ and he is doing so. Conway E.
King, director, expressed appreciation
for the honor of the occasion and at
his suggestion every member of the
band arose as a silent tribute to the
culinary expertness of Mrs. Camp and
her aides.
The ladles of Couts Memorial never
do anything by halves, and when an
invitation is extended to such men as
Nolan Queen, Wayman White, Leo
Ha-rtett and King! they grab their hats
and lose no time in "Being present.”
These gentlemen broke-the speed law
when Earnest Camp presented the in-
vitation at the Chamber of Commerce
meeting Monday night. Of course a
reporter tagged along.
Mandolin Club
To Play at Lipan
Tim Mandolin Orchestra of the
North Side will be the main musical
attraction at the big box supper at
Lipan Saturday night, ft was Teamed
Tuesday. The organization will take
along practically its entire member-
ship. Saturday afternoon, the Mando-
lin Club will give a concert for the old
people of Lipan.
The box supper is undef- the auspic-
es of the Lipan W. O. W. Lodge, which
is raising money for the construction
of a new lodge hall. 1X1,6 old one was
destroyed by the disastrous fire which
wiped out a large portion of the town
some months ago.
v The affair is to be held at the com-
munity tabernacle. Several Weather-
ford citizens have already expressed
their intentions of attending the box
supper.
, Port Worth attorneys generally in-
dorse the stand taken by Walter Scott
of the firm of McLean, Scott & Sayers
to the effect that capital punishment
should not. be abolished.
In a published statement, Scott said
“I believe that capital punishment is
necessary in some cases and I do not
believe it would help matters any if
it were abolished.”
According to Texas statutes, there
are five offenses punishable by death.
These are: Murder, rohbery by fire-
artns, criminal assault upon a female,
treason and perjury in a capital of-
fense case. There is no record of any-
one ever having been tried on the last
named charge.
Perjury in capital offense cases, as
defined by Texas law, involves any
person who is found to have testified
falsely against another in a capital
case in such manner as to cause the
conviction and death of an innocent
man.
W. P. McLean, Jr., an authority on
criminal law, said Monday that he be-
lieved that any person found guilty of
a capital crime should be punished to
the full extent of the law.
Sam Sayers, In an opinion given, to
The Record, spoke particularly of the
crime of incest. Persons guilty of this
heinous offense^ he said, should be
made to pay the death penalty, al-
though the Texas’ law does not define
this offense as a capital crime.
