the Honorable J. H. Arnold,

District of Texas:
We, your finance committee ap-
pointed by the Oetober term, 1917,
of the District Court of Comanche
County, Texas, respectfully sub-
mit this, our report, for your con-

Out examination covers the pe-
riod of tiihe from February 1st,
1917, to February lat, 1918.
We have carefully examined the

By Saturday Might
Ossie W. Greene of Comanche,
but who has recently been at Gates
ville, has been appointed by Gen,
McDUl to raise a troop of Cavalry
in Comanehe and Hamilton coun-
ties in the Federal Guard that is
being raiaed in the State. •
The troop will consist of 105
men with a minimum of 64 and it
and it is very gratifying to us to'j„ Mr. Greene's expectations to
say that they are befog kept in a raise in the county the maximum
very creditable and business like «t leaat by Saturday night, v^hich
manner. We have found nothing is the time limit set for the earn

fees paid "the County $9.25 toojger remain within the jurisdiction

mend that they reimburse him for
this amount.
" Ail the Justices of the Peace
presented their books and receipts
for examination except the Jus-
tice of I*recinct No, 4. lie presen-
ted this report with the exception
of his receipts which we suppose
was au oversight on hiefoart, aud
suggest that his attention be called
to this.

perintendent and the Couiity De-
These troops are to be trained
at Camp Mabry at Austin and will
receive all the same pay promo-
tions, etc., as are allowed to the
regular soldiers.
Quite a good number of young
men are contemplating joining
this troop as it offers them the
opportunity to go with home boys
under home men as officers. A
great many of the young men who
have become 21 and who will soon
become subject to the service are
pository were examined and com-!joining these companies, and it is
pared from September 1st, 1916 [this class of men who are compris
to^ September 1st, 1917, the same ing this army mostly,
being the fiscal school year and we ** ~
find them to be correct, and to
have been kept in a business like
and creditable manner.

Troop Commander Green is a
popular young man and a gradu-
ate of A. & M. College, and wo
feel sure will make an ideal troop
commander under whom to serve.
We trust that he will not meet
with disappointment in the rais-
ing of his troop before Saturday

We suggest that the District

mation of future finance commit-
tees.

operation in assisting us in oar

this year ia setting records in sev-
eral ways for ordinary carq *nd
not being in show classes. His
flock as a whole averaged for four
months, 57 eggs to a hen, while
the best State record for the same
period was 60 eggs per hen. For
the same time the average pen
hen in those contesting waa 53*4
eggs per hep. These are records of
show hens, while his are not show
chickens, but merely a home flock.
His hens capie within three eggs
of equalling; the best in the state
and beat the average three eggs.
We feel that this is a record
worth while.

The Oldest Cultivator In Use
The Drag or Section Harrow
While the Section Harrow is the oldest style Cultivator in use to-
day, yet it is one of the most effective for early cultivation.
Right now, after recent rains, while weeds are small and
tender you can do more effective work in shorter time and with
less effort than with any other implement “down on the form’* and
not expensive. ~ ~-*t-:
The Case that we sell has every adjustment necessary and
is extremely strong and durable.
We.are also selling the Case adjustable steel Siiigle Row Har-
rows and that most wonderful cultivator known as The Go
Devil, v «
If not convenient to pay cash you may pay this fall at no
advance in price.

The SiA Plow Case
With much pride and extreme satisfaction we are daily delivering
many of these splendid 6 plow Case Cultivators.
The^word “Case” Stands for A1 in the implement world but
if their’s any extra best made by Case the Eclipse Cultivator holds
that honor.
Not a dissenting voice have we ever heard from the hundreds
of users throughout this section; not a complaint—any where—by
anybody. Then why not a Case? \

Had You Thought Of It?
Why continus buying poor and expensive feed for your hogs when they
could now do as well or batter on your greening pasture? . ^
The price of two sicks of inferior feed you are now using will buy 300 feet
of our strong galvanised Adrien fence. Don't be penny wise and pound fooHfth.
