Third Ward Parent-Teachers Club
Tuesday afternoon the Parent-Teach-
ers Club and the pupils of the Third
Ward had the opportunity of hearing
a very fin© talk by Dr. Garrett on the
evil of the use of tobacco. He has
studied the subject for years, and
there is no one in Weatherford better
able to present this subject to our
growing boys and girls. The habit of
clgaret smoking has become almost

PALO PINTO STREET STORE
ROBBED; NO ARRESTS MADE
Sheriff Gilbert was called out Mon-
day morning to investigate the rob-
bery of the W. D. Boyd store on Palo
Pinto street, which occurred sometime
during the interval between closing
time and re-opening Monday morning.
The extent of the robbery was not
definitely reported, but it Is said to
be probably in excess of $25.
A quantity of lard, tobacco and other
merchandise, was taken in the rob-
bery. Entrance to the store was made
by boring holes around the lock and
removing it. No arrests in connection
with the case had been made Monday
morning.

Indianapolis, Ind., April 9.—Miss
Elizabeth Rainey, Indiana’s only wo-
man member of the general assembly
which recently closed, says that after
attending a party caucus she told one
¥
of the caucus members that "Now I
have more respect for the Ladles’ Aid
Societies.”
"Of course, one cannot tell what oc
curred in the caucus. It was my first,
and It was one of the real thrills I got
out of the session,” Miss Rainey add-
ed.
In describing her experiences as a
legislator Miss Rainey said she took
her seat with the feeling that she was
the only representative who knew no-
thing about the workings of the legis-
lature, but it did not take her long to
discover that about 75 per cent of the
members were in the same fix. "Dur-
ing th6 first half of the session,” she
continued, “virtually all the activity
was carried on by six or seven mem-
bers, but by the end of the session it
sometimes seemed that every mem-
ber was demanding recognition at the
same moment.
Miss Rainey was unfavorably im-
pressed by the scant attention the rep-
resentatives were able to .give ther
various bills. Some of them were so
long, she declared, that the legislators
had to take the word of the author
as to what the bill proposed to do.
Women are equally competent with
men or legislative service, Miss Rai-
ney contended. She expressed amuse-
ment at what she termed the antics
of the men on the last day of the ses-
sion, when many* verbal combats took
place and physical encounters were
narrowly averted. “I hpve had some
amusement trying to figure out what
would be said of a group of women
which behaved as did the members of
the House on the last night,” said Miss
Rainey. “No excuse, I am sure, could
have been found for them.”
Miss Rainey declared it was her
opinion that there wer®_jiot eno.igh
lawyers in the legislature. She does
not care for a second term.

Houston, Texas,^ April 9—Good rains
in most sections ob Texas have serv-
ed to bring back wheat prospects to
a large extent following the set backs
from freezes of middle March, the
bureau of crop estimates of the U. S.
department of agriculture reports to-
day in statements from a,majority of
wheat growing counties. Practically
all counties where the crop had been
sown reported delays from the freez-
ing weather.
Considerable abandoned acreage is
reported in the Panhandle section al-
though much of htis is being sown to
durinm wheat, it is reported.

The tabernacle was filled and many
chairs used at the evening hour. Mr.
Powell put on a red hot song service,
using several new songs and well as
many of the old ones. His solo for
the evening was filled with the Gospel
and prepared the way for the message
of the evening. The Scripture lesson
was taken from the 17th chapter of 1
Samuel. It was the story of David
and Goliath, but all dressed up in a
new way. The eveangelist said that!
there was more to the lesson than just j
that of a boy killing a giant, and be-)
fore he had finished the sermon every-
body was willing to to agre wfth him.
He showed how the fight represented
in the story was but a part of the
war without end. A battle of right
against wrong, righteousness against
unrighteousness, God against sin and
Satan. David was of the lineage of
Sham who had the bl&ssings of God
resting upon him and Goliath came
from the lineage of Ham who was
cursed of God. The one gave to the
world the defenders of the Jehovah
religion while the other gave to the
world all of the avowed enemies of
that religion. The preacher said that
this same warfare was forever on in
the lives of men and quoted from the
fifth chapter of Galatians, “the flesh
lusteth against the Spirit and ' the
Spirit against the flesh and these are
among the collection.
Ribbons and certificates were given
in various classes. Dogs and cats
which could do tricks, and birds which
were trained, were favored by most of
the judge*.
A doll show is being planned now.
The purpose of the pet show was
to teach kindness to dumb animals,
create interest in the care of pets
am' provide wholesome amusement.
