King Weather, having in charge all
.....things around here and over the
United States and the balance of the
world, held off nicely with his bore an
blasts and gave a gentle zephyr or
so till the affair was finished, then
he sent down a norther, but that
norther missed fire by several hours,
so from a weather standpoint we had
the success, after all.
AH stores made good showiii^s of
their goods and they carried out the'
full programs of the entertainments
in every way.
The automobile display was all that
anybody except a cynic, who will ride
in nothing and look at nothing but
the Golden Chariots of on High, was
great. Starting in on the South Side
. of the square, and the square had n
line of electric lights all round,'we
found the Wiliys-K nights and Over-
lands came first. There was a Big
Six Willys-Knight touring car and
quite a number of Overlands there,
all ready for the eye of the critic.
These cars received quite a number
fine plaudits from the visitors. Q. C.
Carothers has the agency here for
Mt>ese cars.
Next came the Stars and Stude-
bakers, handled by J. W. Stevenson.
The Star car is a'machine that many
Studebaker cars are known the world
over and have their devotees who
will trade for no other car. Two or
.three of the last were there. N. L.
Davis, past Ford heralder, is now
with the Studebaker people, aa is
generally known. i>
Next came the Dodge cars,- C. T.
Dodson, agent, and there were sev-
eral models there of this make of
ear, touring, roadster' and sedan
models, all claiming and getting their
just praise from the thousands who
taw the auto display. They took the
price off not long since, yet the value
is there. Tip Pace and Carl West-
moreland were in evidence at the dis-
play. if
R. M. Klnard had out five or six
models of Bujqks,. sedans, coupes,
roadsters, etc., and they like the rest
were admired. There are people who
will have nothing but Buicks, just
like other people who want other
makes of cars. Were it not so, there
would be but one auto factory, of
course. J. J. McKinney and J. M.
Wilemon were on the ground, thow
ing the Buicks. «-
The Ford* came in for due con-
sideration, and the display was v*r
ied and carried the entire list. There

The Flying Club Announces
New Flyer on The Road For
- Stamford and Will Soon Arrive
T. W;. Smith was seen op the
streets Thursday morning and he an-
nounced the Flying Club as getting
right back in the saddler—no, cock-pit
—ag^in and will soon be doing busi-
ness at the same old stand. The two
injured planes are soon to be ! hi
ship-shape again; the elub is to have
a new man here by Sunday, anyway,
to take over the instruction part of
the work and to also look after the
trips aloft with passengers. This
man’s name is Murrel Dice, and it is
but fair to predict that he is an ace,
all high. Hope so, anyway. He
simply takes the place tof George
McConnell for the present, as George
is not quite over his hurt he receiv-
ed in the fall he had last Saturday,
but is out of the hospital we learn,
or was to come out Thursday after-
noon. The doctors say George is
doing well and will soon be all right
again.
Everything, Mr, Smith states is do-
ing nicely out at the flying grounds
and soon the ships will be in the air
again.
The new man will arrive in a new
ship and will be all set to go at any
time when he does arrive. Watch for
the ship in the air within a few days
Mr. Smith sqys tell the folks that
the new wing for the injured whip,
the one in the Saturday accident, will
be in within ten days, but the other
ship will be ready/ before that, while
Mr. Dice will bripg a jam up good
ship from Georgetown, Texas, as in-
dicated above. I

The, Stamford Senior ClaBs pres-
ented “Miss Somebody Else” at the
High School Auditorium Tuesday
night. The play from every stand
point was a credit to any High
School. Personally I can say im-
mensely and I know every one pres-
ent felt that the play was exception-
ally good and every character well
trained. We bespeak for Mrs. Ful-
ler and ker players a good attend-
ance at -their performance Friday
night.
Respectfully,
(Signed) W, T. BOLING, Principal.
Mr. Bolding bended the above let-
ter to the coach of the Senior play,
Mqs. H. R. Fuller aftOT he had
witnessed the first performance of
the Senior play at the Rule High
School Auditorium Tuesday night.
As this letter of appreciation came
from Mr. Bolding unsolicited it is
highly esteemed by the members of
the cast. •
This play will be presented at the
City Auditorium in Stamford Friday
night, April 9, at 8t00 p. m.
Stamford seems out of luck at
wrestling with Bomar Moore, the
Anson champion. That man Moore
is some flinger. He met Carl Oshel,
of this city, a husky youngster at the
Auditorium last Tuesday night and
Bomar won two falls, the first in
about twenty-five minutes and the
second in about twelve minutes. The
match was a fast one at that.
MRS. J. O. MOORE VERY ILL
WAS TAKEN SUDDENLY WORSE
For several years Stamford has
been planning this and that with a
view of entertaining the people July
4 and not going out of town to some-
thing or another that is always more
or lesB disappointing, at the same
time very expensive.
The Stamford Leader is always in
for the home entertainment and the
jjjiper has always believed that we
.pan furnish the same.
The idea of leaving towri every time
there is a little pleasure to be sought
strikes us as the wrong thing. Stay
at home, keep some1 of the money
at home and have a better time is ,our
slogan.

Hinson, Garage Men.
Nice talk, boys, and we appreciate
it. But, gee, where does business get
on for us? Hustle some of those
ads in here. Increase the size of tha
plant. Hire more men. Anything
to help US along while the good
things are going.

Feeding Horses

in this issue some very interesting
data about what to feed stock. Read
that ad, then reflect about the cost

manager of the oil mill here, has some
good data there for you.

something more on baseball for the
Friday paper. Here it is:
A few days ago Hamlin and Breck-
enridge High Schools (fed up in a
game over at Hamlin and Brecken-
ridge got the worst of it. That vic-
tory set the teeth of the Hamlin team
on edge, so to speak.
Stamford grounds are in excellent
shape, being dragged and smobthed
for the High School team to practice
on. Nothing to dd but get right in
there and go at it.
You never can tell what you are
liable to run on to when out after
news items. Sometimes you get the
very thing you are looking for," some,
times you get the very thing you are
not looking for. But over at Penick-
we got Into a jaw-fest with Mr,
Garner, manager of the retail hard-
ware and furniture department, and
he began telling us about baseball,
and how he used to play it. Here
are about his words:
“We bad a game matched with Mor-
gan, once, and the teams wet* to play ’
down on the Bosque river near Me-
ridian, where I lived then. I was en-
gaged by the Meridian team to pitch
and they sent off and got a fellow bv
the name of Fenner Leslie. They
got him from somewhere, to catch,
and what I am trying to tell you, mar,
is he was some catcher. In those
days I was counted a ‘tollibul’ good
