-Grandpa Huff Hurt
A few days ago Grandpa Huff was .
badly hurt out on- the Anson road,'
south of Stamford. He had been rid-
ing with a young man name Patter-
son, who Used to live in Stamford,
but now lives in Wichita Falls, we
believe. On getting out of the car,
Mr. Huff fell and was very seriously
Everything that could be done
/4or him was done, and he soon recov-
'Vared, though there were some1'ugly
bumps raised about his right temple.
He was taken in the home Of his son
whom he was to visit, where his kuris~~5ee thw ftinwt UimWWT
Were treated; He is about 75 yean vented—baseball,
sport of sports.
The Stamford Leader has always
been for Chautauquas. It has either
signed as a business, or the manager
has signed every Chautauqua con-
tract for cne last ten years. This
may be doubted by some, but that
makes little difference, for. the facts
and contracts are on record to prove
this.
But at this time we did not sign
did not sign the contract for ,,1926.
Not that we wanted to be contrary
for we have always wanted to be with
the old gang that believe, ... _____
qua* and not in street carnivals—
that is, believes Chautauquas are bet-
ter foiv tlie young people, the old peo-
ple, thV babies and the middle aged
folks. We think they are, and we
feel that we have plenty of corqpany
in this thought.
But th^re is no use to argue that.
Then* were olentv tn qicrn th*» win-
tract and we are with them in spirit if
not on the dotted lines. More than
fifty good tppn signed the contract
and they propose to put the Chautau-
qua here and put it here free in 192(1.
Some say it will not work. It will
work, believe, and if the men who are
behind it cannot work it, we witl be
fooled. |

18^1*14, and I am, therefore, com-
pleting my eleventh year as president
of the inetitution. Many changes
have taken place since that time. The
physical gilant has greatly increased,
the student body has multiplied and
the standards of instruction have
[been raised.
The State has established two
branch colleges that have become im-
portant asets to the educational sys-
tem of Texas. The Experiment Ser-
vree' hae he4 its beginning and a re-
markable development—during ‘ thiy
period.
I regard it as a high privilege to
' There was a shop picnic among the
employes and their families of the
Wichita Valley Railway shopmen
Wednesday night. Many were there
to partake of the fine suppS* that
consisted'of everything that is goodf
on up to and including ice cream.
Many enjoyed this affair very much.
■ The Association of the Mechanical
department, employees local lodge No.,
10, were in attendance.
T. W. Smith, division foreman^
opened the eventing entertainment with
a nice talk to the men. The follow-
ing were in attendance: Charlie Gook
and family, E. O. Prichard and family,
E. v E. Crow and family, visiting
guests were Mrs. Wade Clifton,
daughter, Miss Velma Murdi
B>g Spring, and Mrs. Tom
Stamford
ity, Mr. and Mrs. Betts «md children,
John Wenetschlager and family, W.
R. Pollack and family, Claud Lyons
and family, also Mr*’ Lyons’ father-
in-law, J. A. Major, J. W. Johnson
and family, John Dee and Alex Burns,
Ed Ray. The' following visitors were
also present: J. H. Smith, J. H.
Skite, several more whose names we
failed to get.
T. W.. Smith announced that he
could not eat much ice cream and he
did not, but he announced that we
would soon give a ehickeft 9ttf$«f and
he would be right there with the drum
stick.
There is now a new stationary en-
■fttr
gines as well as the jrgnch business.
Dick runs the 13 and the so-called bad
luck number of 13 has no terrors for
'him. Jeter runs the 11. These en-
gines ha ve had mention in The Leader
before. They oftce were on the Bur-
lington and had a regular run of more .
than 300 miles every day—Chicago to
Omaha, and they^dld work. fine,. Quite
recently bn the Denvir there was a
break-down of ail the Engine* around
Wichita Falls, so the No. 11 was
hooked onto .one of the fast passen-
ger trains running to Fort Worthy
Leaving Wichita Falls fifteen minutes
late she pulled that train into Fort
Worth!right on time. Hooking back
on train No. 5 she was sent back to
Wichita Falls, where she was hooked
onto the Valley train for Abileaa,
making the nearly 400 miles in tip-
top shape. The railway boys say there
is hardly any telling about just how
fast those engines—11 and 13—will ?
run, if given the track and not toor
heavy train, for they are not moguls
or U«r 500-class pacifies like the 550
class on. the Denver. The 550 class
will equal the speed of the Katy 400- ; .
das#, which is 120 miles an hour with
an eight car train. Get the figure*
right, two miles to the minute. It
is hinted that the ll and 13 will rak
that fast with four cars-, biit that**
going some. Either one of them will
eat 60 miles an. hour as easy as' *
Ford can break the .speed lidUt ia ~
Palo Pinto, Texas, on the pike, and
the speed limit down there if about
as low as the constable wants to make

Where It Is doing good work. The! Did you read what Hale Holden
system of electric lights at the round to say about the Valley and the Spur
house is a good one, and that was
of this institution
Ho*§ver, important changes have
brought in at 5:23 o’clock Tuesday af- not only come to this institution, but
ternoon, only 18 minutes after Walter
D.- Early; district attorney, had com-
pleted the state’s plea. It was read
before a crowd that packed the dis-
trict court room of the Brown Coun-
ty courthouse to suffocation, the
crowd having remained after conclu-
sion of the'argument with the certain
-feeling that the verdict would be re-
turned -quickly.
Mrs. Pauley, the girlish widow of
the slain sheriff, heard it. Her 18-
year-old son, Russell, attired in the
uniform of the United States Navy
with the loose collar revealing the
smooth boyish outlines of his neck,
hoard it. They listened with the same
composure that has marked their
bearing through the two days of the
trial. -
There was np semblance of a dem-
onstration among the spectators at
any stage of the trial.
As the damning words of the ver-
dict fell on the ears of the tall, light
brown defendant, he, too, heard it
composedly. . ~
If the negro Smith has had any
fear, or any sort of emotion, during
the time that his life has been at
to all educational institutions during
the period of my incumbency of the
presidency of the college. AU insti-
tutions of higher learning have ex-
perienced great increase in attendance.
We have been through the critical
experience of tfye’ World War which
resulted in the transformation of our
college campus into a training camp
and completely, disrupted our work.
Since the war we have experienced
a period of retrenchment in public
expenditures which has relatively de-
creased our available revenues in pro-
portion to the number of studen
who have enrolled in the college,
situation has presented problems If
great difficulty.
Throughout the tjeriod of my con-
nection with the college I have had
the loy§l and sympathetic co-operation
of th^members of the board of di-
rectors, the Former Students’ Asso-
ciation, the officers and faculty of the
college, and the student body. ' Per-
haps few men have had a greater de-
gree of co-operation than I have had.
have had a part in the varied growth mentioned months ago by The Leader.
J. R. Steelman, fireman on the Val-
ley, is preparing to leave for Roches-
ter, Minn., where he will take treat-
ment, we learn. His many friends
hope he will soon be all right.
Engineer Tom Courtney has been
laying off. He is the engineer be-
tween Stamford and Spur.
Tom Carden has recently been elect-
ed local chairman of the B. of L. E.
on the Valley. He is ohe of the good
engine men of the road.
Yep. Bqth Engineer Dick Stout
line the other day in The Star-Tele-
gram ? He spoke^ some fine things
in that speech, and one of, the best
things to us i* what he said about
what good feeders the Valley and
Spur lines were to The Worth and
Denver railway. That sounds good.-
Yes, there is talk among some of
the railways of contesting the exten-
sion of the Denver into the Plains
country. That may or may not be
done, as we believe the Denver will
go right on. That country is not es-
pecially owned by any railway. It
will welcome any good roaA like the
