midst of the Civil War, sixty years
ago on Cabo Hill in the lowlands of
western Tennessee, a little convention
was called to order by Grandma Moss
and Granny Hodges was the presiding
officer and Granny Barton was floor

in the war between the states, under
the supervision of General Forest. The
subject for general discussion was,
“That it was better to raise girl babies

George Fant, secretary of the Mu-
tual Building and Loan Association,
was an honored guest of the Lions
Club Wednesday at noon, and gave a
very interesting account of the Asso-
ciation since its formation 38 years
ago. He said that the old association
was organized at that time and endur-
ed for six years, when the present
association took fform and has been
functioning ever since. He explained
the operation of the association in de-
tail as follows:
The Building and Loan is, as the
name implies, a mutual organization
and is operated primarily for the ben-
efit of Weatherford. No individual
profits from the association above a
small per cent of the money invested,
something like nine per cent. He as-
serted that he believes at least one-
fourth of the homes in Weatherford
have been built through the good of-
fices of the association, and that dur-
ing the 38 years of its existence there
lias never been a loss of a single dol-
lar. Not one cent has been charged
off, he said, and the association has
always been very lenient to those
who through some misfortune could
not meet their payments.
There are now 198 stockholders in
(he association, some owning stock as
an investment, and some as borrow-
ers. Loans are made in amounts
ranging from $100 to as high as $5,-
000, lie said, and for all purposes.
However, the association favors the
building of homes moreso than the ac-
quiring of business property, as it is
primarily a home-owning organization
and was organized for that purpose.
Loans matured in 76 months, and In
case a borrower is able to retire the
loan prior to its maturity, he can do
so. The average loan is in the neigh-
borhood of $1,500. Loans are made
for building new homes, the purchase
of homes already built, improvements
and repairs such as additional rooms,
sewerage, cement walks, etc. The
Building and Loan Association is now
in good condition, he said, and is pre-
pared to make loans for all such pur-
poses enumerated above.
The matter of entertainment for the
Christian Endeavor convention which
will be held here for four days, Oct.
17 to 20, was discussed. It was stat-
ed that the district is composed of 98
societies, between Fort Worth and El
Faso, and it is estimated that four
delegates from each society will at-
tend the convention. Between 200
and 300 delegates will be here at one
time, others coming and going at va-
rious times during the four days meet-
ing. A committee composed of H. E.
Altfather, Paul Camp and H. J. Greg-
ory was appointed by President Edgar
to devise ways and means for the en-
tertaining of the visitors with auto
rides over the city and a luncheon to
be held at the Lions Park.
The Club voted unanimously to pre-
sent a ?12.50 silver loving cup as a
prize to be given during the Poultry
Show in November.
The local club will co-operate with
the International Lions Clubs in the
observance of Fathers’ Day on the
third Sunday in October. The Cham-
ber of Commerce, other clubs and
churches will be asked to join in the
movement.
Prof. Cantrell, head of the mathe-
matics department of Weatherford
College was introduced as a guest by
Harold Gregory. He expressed satis-
faction at the manner in which the
Lions are co-operating and supporting
the College.

OY LOCAL ROTARIANS
CITY PUTS NEW GRADER
TO WORK ON STREETS
The new 8-foot grader which the
City Commission recently bought, has
been received and put to work on the
streets. This grader does very fine
work in grading and spreading gravel
and can be handled to much better
advantage than a heavier machine
with a long blade. The recent rain-
fall has put the streets in good shape
again for work and those streets al-
ready graveled are now packing nice-
ly. Weatherford now has a greater
mileage of good streets than it has!
had at any time for many years pa«t.
Members of the Rotary Club were
given a first hand glimpse into the ac-
tivities of the women inWeatherford
in connection with student life and
cooperation between parent and teach-
er, when Mrs. H. C. Shropshire, presi-
dent of the. Fourth Ward Mothers
Club; Mrs. W. T. Winston, president

enCTeachers Association of the Wea-
therford High School, and Mrs. H. F.
Leach, president of the College Club
of Wcatnerford College, addressed the
Club.
Mrs. Shropshire stated that the fun-
damental aims of the clube were to
make school life more attractive to
the pupil, to be effected in part by
beautifying the buildings and grounds
and providing more facilities for play
and recreation; to -bring about more
cooperation between parent and teach-
er, and to impress the student with
their interest in them by actual con-
tact with them in meetings arranged
by the Clubs. She stated that through
the efforts of her Club, cement walks,
curbs and gutters had been laid around
the school grounds, and that it was
the present intention cf the club to
purchase a piano and place it in an
available room in the school building,
the room to be made attractive and
comfortable and used as a meeting
place for her club.
Mrs. Winston stated that her club
bad been instrumental in building up
among the students an enthusiasm for
schools, and had raised and expended
more than $500.00 in improving school
grounds and buildings.
Mrs. Ernest Babb told about the
achievements 0f her club, stating that
contract had been let for building a
retaining wall around the grounds,
and that her club was functioning well
and hoped to see many results from
its endeavors in behalf of the chil-
dren.
Mrs. John Braselton, president of
the Mothers Club of the Third Ward,
was absent on account of sickness,
and Way man White gave an account
of that club’s work in connection with
improving the school grounds.
Mrs. Akard recounted the activities
and alms of the Parent-Teachers As-
sociation which devotes its services to
the High School students, telling of
the achievements of the' club and the
spirit of cooperation existing between
parents and teachers.
Mrs. Leach stated that her club re-
sulted from a suggestion made by
Fred Rand, past president of Weather-
ford College, and the chief aim was
to provide ways for the mothers to
“Live with the Students,” and that it
was now fostering the cooperative
home for girls who attend the College.
The committee on selection of stu-
dent for scholarship in Weatherford
College awarded by the Club announc-
ed that Tom Johnson, a young man
who graduated from the Weatherford
High School last year, had been select-
ed. Tom is 17 years of age and won
second honors among the class of
boys graduating last year, although
he worked mornings and afternoons
during his four years of High School.
Rev. Sam Logan, chairman of the
Boys’ Back to School Committee, stat-
ed that names of boys who should be
in school had been furnished the com-
mittee and that every effort would
be made to induce the boys to enter
school. The Mothers Clubs promised
to cooperate with the Rotary Club in
this work.
Rotary is going to make a continu-
ous effort to be of real service -to the
boys of Weatherfor and it is along the
line of education, both mental and phy-
sical, that its chief work will be done.
Dr. P. R. Simmons was a guest of
the club and spoke in the interest of
Parker 'County Poultry Association.
Hamp Scott, who catches the fish
that Lawrence Waldrom boasts about
to his friends, gave the secret away.
Lawrence will cease telling fish stor
ifes.

TT THY separate youth and old age
VV with a deep and ever-widen-
ing abyss?
The bloom of youth and the hardy,
ruddy glow of Old Age—sixteen and
sixty—should be separated only by
the span of years and not by varying
differences of physical wholesome-
ness.
Vigorous old age is within the grasp
of all. S. S. S. brings that hale and
hearty feeling back with a rush. Rich
red blood is the greatest enemy of
weakening, health undermining Old
Age. S. S. S. builds Red Blood Cells.
Rich, red blood coursing through
your veins sweeps away impurities
that retard the proper functioning
of your system. Old Age—once a
dreaded agony becomes a vigorous,
enjoyable, care free time of life.
S. S. S. is made of carefully se-
lected herbs and barks—scientifically
prepared and proportioned. Welcome
Old Age when It comes. Be ready
to withstand the attacks of diseases
that follow In its wake. Meet Old
Age with a hearty handshake. A
handshake that speaks of well being
—of a vigorous, clear thinking, red
blooded constitution. S. S. S. is your
best friend when Old Age is seen
rounding the corner. Get a bottle
and drl-3 care and worry away. All
leading drug stores carry it-
The large size is the morq

THE HEALING POWER
OF OSTEOPATHY
—The Osteopath has the same medical education as any
other doctor, gives antidotes for poisons, handles emergency
cases, confinement cases and does necessary surgery. When
you call in an osteopath you are diagnosed from both points
of view, medical and osteopathic, whereby if it was from a
straight medical view it would not be complete. ..The patient
is treated osteopathically and other necessary adjunct of
treatment used as any other physician would use... There-
fore, the virtue of both can be used by the same doctor to
the advantage of the patient.
—OSTEOPATHY treats the cause of disease through
the spinal nerves, which control the health and function of
every organ and gland. Through spinal treatments I can
increase BLOOD VITALITY, ABORT THE PROCESS OF
INFECTIOUS FEVERS as INFLUENZA, PNEUMONIA,
SCARLET FEVER, DIPHTHERIA, TONSILITIS and other
acute diseases.
—I do not mean that I can relieve, but I can cure you
of stomach, bowel trouble and constipation by osteopathy
and diet combination. Your rheumatism, neuralgia and head-
aches quickly and permanently cured. Bronchitis, asthma,
"kidney and bladder troubles successfully treated. Female
troubles given osteopathic and scientific local treatment.
Lady attendant-assistant. Specii treatment for reducing
tonsils and preventing tonsilitis. Bring your puny CHILD
and see how quick he responds to the treatments.
