THE CANTON
We Will be Satisfied
The new Canton Disc Plow is our well
known Disc Plow with late improvements
and with new features added which makes
it more popular than ever before. The
«
wheels are protected by dust proof bearings
and have large oil carrying capacity. The
width of furrow is regulated by moving the
1179
DISC PLOW
axle either way on the beam. The only
hitch that permits four horses to walk
abreast with three on land and one in the
furrow, with absolutely no side draft. The
controlling fod regulates the rear wheel,
and a turn buckle on the rod leads the wheel
either to or from the bank.
The Levers are Always in Reach
And counterbalanced with strong steel spring, adjustable seat. Auto-
matic trip lever, when once set requires no further attentiod; carf be
easily tripped in stumpy ground. The wheels have cast V shaped
rims. Bali bearing disc with dust proof boxes. The standing cutter
can be automatically raised if not needed, and the blades can be re-
versed when worn.
Call in while here and see the New Canton
The Scraper is Adjustable
and is shaped to fit the cavity of the disc, it will cut through solid
patches of Johnson and Bermuda grasses without jumping from the
ground or running sideways. It is ma\ almost entirely of steel and
malleable iron, and strong enough to eldure the greatest strain that
can be put upon it in the hardest and liiost difficult soils.

THE NORSE PICNIC
Good Speeches, Good Music and
Plenty to Eat Form an
Enjoyable Occasion
Wednesday went into history
as one of the most enjoyable oc-
casions ever witnessed by a large
crowd of people gathered at the
beautiful Anderson Grove, near
Norse to celebrate another of
their annual picnics, which al
ways proves to be an interesting
feature of each year to those who
are lovers of this form of enter-
tainment. This picnic was given
j by the Norse band boys who left
ing at the Holiness church, on| nothing undone, and had every-
the mountain four miles west of Hiing systematically arranged
for the pleasure of their many
guests.
Mr. Oscar J. Rea was the tirst
speaker to mount the platform
and in a short but impressive ad-
dress made those present feel
that it was good to be present on
this occasion as it had been on
simular occasions for many years
past.
Mr. J. W. Butler followed in
his usual humorous and happy
manner of speech for quite a
while, expressing the sentiments
of those present in telling how
good it seemed to be fhe guest
of the Norse people on an occasion
this kind. Then he took up
important subject of good
showing the great value
were to the people of the

farmers, who have the heavy
loads to haul the greatest dist-
ance, and ui-ging that all qualified
voters go to the polls on July 81,
and by their votes hely to make
Bosque county one of the best
for good roads in Texas
Then came one of the best an-
nouncements of all; dinner was
announced, and as characteristic
with the Norse people, good
things to eat were there in abund-
ance, and no one was overlooked.
After dinner, when all were
feeling good, except those who
ate too much, Esquire Y. Grim-
land, in response to an invitation,
delivered an interesting story of
his youngster days when he fish
ed and hunted a great deal, caus-
ing considerable (doubt) and
laughter; after which Mr. Butler
responded with a few fish, bear
and “mother-in-law” jokes which
created considerable laughter,
and ended the speaking for the
day.
At 4 o’clock the ball game was
called between Norse and Clif-
ton teams. The game was not as
interesting as might have been
on account of the Norse boys
being so much the better players.
The game closed with a score 13
to four in favor of the Norse boys.
A big platform dance on the
ground cloned this eventful oc-
casion in a happy manner.

ege, the boys home.
Sheriff H. W.Raidal came down
from Meridian onjbhe noon train
to take the boys ijj charge until
the arrival of a»i officer from
Coolege. After jihoning to their
homes Mr. Randal was advised
not to hold the older one on ac-
count of his age, but took Dick
Roan back to Meridian on the
afternoon train to hold for some
one to come fof hlm. The boys
acknowledged that they had run
away from hoineapd were head
ed for Ability where the older
boy. had lived Itysr years of his
life and had acquaintence. They
were riding twosori-ell ponies.
The one ridden by Clarence Tay-
lor was his ovrit but the one

Normal Notes
Morgan, Tex., July 14—We
have 74 to report from the Bos
quecounty summer normal. This
enrollment i s unusual. T h e
character of work done this week
is of the same degree of excel
lence done in the weeks that have
passed.
Acting on the principle “That
all work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy” the normal boys have
been giving some attention to
afternoon ball games. Monday
afternoon the normal boys played
Meridian. Ten to nothing in fa
vor of the normal boys is the way
the returns read. The boys have
some good ball players and they
go after a hall with the same en-
ergy they go after a problem in
mathematics.
Morgan is making the stu-
dents feel “at home,” conse-
quently, this is one of the best
contented set of normal work
ers in the State.

Card of Thanks
To friends who through months
past have so kindly given their
help and consolation, and to the
many who in my late bereave-
ment showed love and deep sym-
pathy, I wish to express my
heart felt thanks and apprecia-
tion, though realizing that words
of utmost eloquence would fail to
express all that I feel.
May God’s blessing rest upon
