Good Letter to the Club Girls Under
State Supervision.
pi < -
Dallas, Texas, Oct. \% 1916.
Dearest Club Girls:
I have a lot of news to tell you In
this letter ami I mn sure you will tb
most pleased. This is such a busy
time wltb us we haven't much time
for gossip or news, but I know you
always like to hear about the other
clubs even though you are the distance
of this great state apart.
t ,Lost week I had the great pleasure
of seeing many of the Grayson county
qtab girls at the Red Rtver Valley
Fair held In Sherman. A good many
flub girls sent fruit exhibits and sev-
eral sent lovely textile exhibits but
owing to no place In which lo display
them they were not exhibited. Them
were four departments exhibiting in a
space not much larger than we lmd
last year at either Dallas, Galveston
or Waeo for our own department anil
you can imagine how crowded It was.
In my department the entries were
open only to Grayson county eluh girls
and that debarred several nice exhib-
its I had received from Cotliu county
and other points.
Annie Mae Hudgins, Grace and Lo-
Yene Stark from Denison; Nova Rak-
er. Gunter; Edna Ford, Ruth Simp-
son of Dorchester; and little Hope
Ridings from Rock Port school were
' among the exhibitors who won prizes.
Annie Mae Hudgins woo the sweep-
stakes prize for the best: general ex-
hibits of canned fruits and jelly. There
were several others who enine close
. second, among them Grace Stark.
Louise Mnphis of Gunter won the
. prize ou the essay “My Trip to Aus-
tin."
I had Hip pleasure of visiting Howe.
October 0th. and organized a junior
club of 35f members. This lovely lit-
tle club will he suticrvlsed by Miss
Leta Davis, one of the beloved and
lovable girls of the Dorchester club.
* Leta Is attending school at. Howe,
; which Is a first class high school. The
we girts are going to work for play-
IBOOtld equipment and from the splen-
' did senior and junior elul*s there I
tarn sure they will have them all be-
fore the year is over.
» I was' Interested in the excellence
of the school fire drill I witnessed,
under the direct loo of Supt. W. C.
(Johnson. At the cry "Fire” the chil-
dren all over the building gathered
their books and hastily but quietly fell
into line and marched out It took
only 30 seconds to completely empty
the building. Aside from the great
saving of lives there Is a wonderful
saving of school books when children
are taught these fire drills. I won-
der how many schools in the state ob-
served fire prevention day, Monday,
October 9th.
From Howe I went to Denison to
visit the lovely club composed of high
school domestic science and nrt girls.
A reception was held In the domestic
science rooms and delleious punch anil
take served to about lion club girls.
I never saw a more enthusiastic,
charming lot of girl. They are going
lo put into practice the knowledge
(hey have been gaining by furnishing
to my dear little clubs everywhere
some of their favorite precipes from
the science girls and the art girls are
going to furnish us our stitch models.
Don't you think that ts lovely fqr
tliese busy girls to do for us? They
have some ■ wonderful club plans for
work whleh they will tell you about
pretty soon. We are planning to hold
a district convention there just as
smm as we can arrange our dates, and
the club girls are to lie the hostesses
to the visiting eluh girls. I hope we
will !>e able to have n good attend-
ance. I will lie sure lo let you kuow
the dates In thnp.
The Dallas fair is open. Should
any of you girls visit the city he sure
to come to see me. The tooth is al-
ways open and you are always wel-
come. Cordially,

Suggestion by Tax Collector.
County Tax Collector Jim Akers
suggested today that parties who know
themselves to lie delinquent In the
matter of fax payments could save
money by calling at once at the office
of the county tax collector and paying
the same. The officers have no oilier
alternative but to tiring the suits
against all who are delinquent. This
isii new law mid carries heavy isuial-
ties against the officers for Its non-
enforcement and in bringing the suits
County Attorney Ben 1C Gafford Is
doing nothing more than Is required
of him and all whodestre tosave (“osts
should act at once, ns suits will be
brought against all alike and Will’tie
filed as rapidly as the pajiers. can lie
filled out and filed in the office of a lie
district clerk.
Taken to Penitentiary . ..
The following prisoners were taken
to the state penitentiary by Agent
Russell, who came by Sherman Inst
Sunday from Bonham, baviug one
Fannin county prisoner with him.
Hotiert Joridan, a young white man
who plead guilty to liolwe theft and
burglary, two years tn each case,
Fred Walt, white man, two years
each In three cases of forgery, to which
ho had plead guilty.
Herbert Cornish, negro, seven years
on a plea of guilty to sodomy.
Bill Hill, six years for violation of
the local option law, three cases.
(Continued on page six.)
More Tax Suits Filed.
County Attorney Ben F. Gafford
today filed 127 additional tax suits
against properly owners of Grayson
county who are delinquent, according
to the tax rolls of the county. This
makes a total of 194 suits filed by Mr.
Gafford, and quite a lot more will be
filed as rapidly as the papers can lie
drawn up. These suits arc fiied in the
Fifty-ninth district court, and they
will he set for trial at the December

NOT HINDERED BY SOLITUDE
Donald Smith, Who Became Famoua,
Was Too Busy in Labrador to
Become Lonely.
Back In 1847 a young fellow named
Donald Smith was sent to take charge
of an isolated fur-trading post in the
Interior of desolate Labrador. It was
a terrible place; blizzard swept in
winter, tormented by midges and mos-
quitoes through the short hot summer
—the sort of place where a modern
novelist’s hero turns to brandy and
ends with suicide. Smith was there
20 years. He read books, learned the
country, built np an experiment farm,
that excited the admiration of the
Smithsonian institution, saved money,
and started the career that ended In
Westminster abbey. Donald Smith
became I-ord Htrathcona and Mount
Royal, and his place In history is se-
cure as one of the'great builders of
our modern North America. It all be-
gan In tlie unlikeliest place imaginable,
that lost fur store in the wilds of Lab-
rador, and Smith tells us the secret In
his own words, says Collier's.
"People speak of the solitude of Lab-
rador1. It wasn’t a solitude for me. I
knew everybody there, from the oldest
white traders and fishermen to the
youngest Indian hnnters and Eskimos,
and even their dogs. I knew every turn
In the coast line and bend in the river,
and every natural object had an Inter-
est for me. , As for ennui I can honest-
ly say I did not know the meaning of
the term. Time never hong heavily
on my hands. I was always busy, uud
when I had no actual and definite task
I was planning.”
Men of that sort are the makers of
the world. — , t

Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle “In
the Whirl of Life,” at the
Lyric Today.
Sherman theatre goers were given a
real treat last evening, at the Lyric
Theatre, when they were allowed to
Peek into the reat life history of
America’s most famous couple, and
world's greatest dancers, Mr. and Mrs.
Vernon Castle. The targe feature pro-
duction, entitled “The Whirl of Lite,'
featuring the Castles, and written by
Mr. Vernon Castle himself, Is one of
the real big pictures of the season, and
S henna IV society people were loud in
their praise of tills attraction, which
Miss Fairchild has secured for two
days, with a last showing today. This
feature has lieen the sensation of the
year, and should be well patronized to-
day.
The film Is a mixture of comedy
and burlesque melodrama based on the
lives of these famous dancers uud In-
troducing as a natural consequence the
Castles in their famous terpsichorean
measures. 13mt it will hit (lie popu-
lar fancy there is no doubt “The
Whirl of Life” was produced by Jno.
Cort, and is an accurate, though some-
what romantic, narrative of the danc-
ing of the Castles.
The story of the play concerns Irene
Foote (Mrs. Castle) the ..young and
charming daughter of Mr. anil Mrs.
Foote, of Yonkers, N. Y., who is be-
sieged with ilie attentions of a wealthy
Wall Street broker. Her parents favor
I lie match hut she falls in love with
Vernon Castle, an actor, and when the
father refused to permit her to marry
the man “whose brains are in Ids feet”
they elope and go to Paris. Here the
production in which the Castles ap-
pear, fails and MVs. Castle pawns -bar
jewels.
Visiting a cafe the same night tti
ihelr wedding finery, the two are in
dmed to dance, ami make a hit A six
weeks’ engagement follows and they
became the rage. Then ihey re!urn to
America, on “Castle by-the-8ea” and
society flocks to their opening. Ef-
forts of the former suitor to prevent the
Opening by kidnapping Mrs. Castle
gives the whole a melod ramie flavor
in which humorous lines aud business
are Intermingled. II Is decidedly a
novel film feature anil gives full play
to the work of the Castles not alone
as actors hut as dancers, swimmers
and riders,. It

Tuesday, November 7th.
<* .
Bantam and Bailey's circus comes
to Sherman, Tuesday, Nov. 7,

experts are spreading with tack and
hammer and paste and brush the
flaming lithographic tidings of the a|s
preach of the big traveling amusement
Institution. They are under the direc-
tion of Arthur K. Diggs. a well
known circus advertising si>ooiullst.
Tills is tlie Innovation of novelty
year, th'e greatest of an seasons. Will
L, Dllken, the advance press agent,
tells tlie Democrat that more railroad
cars are required to transport. the
show, -bigger tents arc rained, more
area feLneeded to accommodate the
show than ever before. In fact, the
circus has reaelicd a point where II is
the ilesjmlr of many of (lie smaller
railroads and taxes their facilities to
tlie limit, for eighty-nine ears are
needed to coopey the Idg show from
Imvn to town.
There's material enough In this
year’s cireus to make a dozen circuses
of the old days. A “big loti” 660 feet
long, nearly 1,500 employes. three
rings, four elevated platforms, acres
of aerial apparatus, n 108-engc menag-
erie, 750 horses, forty elephants, a
street parade three miles long!
The stereotyped "grand entree,”
with which tlie circuses were content
tn iqs'n their program for many years,
lias been permanently eliminated from
the llaruum & Bnfley tournament.
This season the areuic entertainment
is inaugurated by the spectacular
)iageant, “Persia, or The Pageants of
The Thousand and One Nights.”
The subsequent three-hour arenit:
performance, below uud aloft, scorns
all comiOirtHOB* and breaks all records
of the past Every one of the five
hundred particIptMtta Is a champion in
equestrianie, aerialistlc, equilibristie,
acrobat or gymnastic effort.

ety. A feature is tlie only baby glraffo
