DEPENDANT TAKES STAMFORD COURT AS
 ENJOYABLE JOKE
Special to The Farmer.)

z
 Stratford, July 6.--""Well, Judge. it is a shame to make me pay this fine; I will have to go without 13O glasses of beer" declared John Troesser, reputed to be very wealthy farmer of Honey spot road, today when Judge Howard M Curtis assessed him $1 and costs for creating disturbance at his home and threatened to send his wife to an insane asylum. Judge Curtis also im- posed a jail sentence of 10 days but later suspended the execution of it.
 During the court session Troesser laughed at the testimony of his wife and had to be told repeatedly by Dep uty SAeriff E. Mills Tomlinson and Judge Curtis to keep quiet. The judge
 asked if he thought the court was a joke. Troesser said that he was never arrested before. He was warned at his next appearance before that tribunal would mean long Jail sentence. Max Miller and John Tretow of Bridgeport recently went into partner ship They leased the Gottlieb farm in Stratford, Both men work in Bridgeport during the day and reside at the farm during the night. It has
 been their custom of late to arise aDOut. TOUT O'CLOCK every morning ana labor on the farm for few hours.
 Yesterday morning both men awoke at the appointed time Tretow wanted to wash his face before going to toll.
 Miller refused to allow him, telling
 him to wait until he finished his work. Tretow insisted on washing and Miller became angry according to the testi- mony. and struck Tyetow. infiicting deep gash over the left eye. Miller al- legged that Tretow had not been doing much work around the farm for the last month. Judge Curtis fined Miller s and costs.
 A pretty wedding was solemnized Wednesday, July 5. at St. James R. c. church when Miss Rose M Smith, daughter of MT. and Mrs w. s. Smith of Stratford became the bride of James Devine of Bridgeport. Rev. Michael J. OConnor, pastor, sol emnized the marriage Both persons are widely acquainted both in Strat- ford and Bridgeport. MT. Devine is machinist.

Frederick Tests Fire . Hose In Bank Building

Tenants in the First Bridgeport Ma tional Bank building at Main and State streets were somewhat agitated today when streams of water began to pour out of fire hose from the second story rear windows. The resence of Captain Thomas J. Frederick on an extension roof did not quiet them un- til it was explained that tho annual test of emergency fire hose throughout the building was being made.
 About 300 feet of hose will have to be tested on the different floors under a pressure of 30 pounds. The pumps supplying the big fire tank on the roof are also placed in operation.

Mont Wyman, advertising mana
ger and special representative of the
Farm and Ranch, the great Texas
farm journal, who is here this week
working up some special articles for
his publication, lived in Durant eight
years ago, and his version of the
growth of Durant and her possibili-
ties as given the Advertiser is inter-
esting to note.
Ute mighty hard to keep up with
what your own town is doing Peo-
pie who have lived in Durant for the
past ten years don't know how the
town has grown. / meet your peo-
pie away from home, and 1 ask about
Durant, an dthey say:
%, it's the same old town
ITS not the same old town In
the eight years I have been gone.
the people have built up wonder
fully neat residence district, espec-
tally to the west and north. There
is absolutely no comparison between
the residence districts of the two per-
iods. There is the paving-not
enough, perhaps. to satisfy the de-
mands of the evening tourist-but at
least enough for a commercial nu-
cleus, and to which additions should
be made every year.
"Then there are your schools. The
Normal has been built since I was
here, also the Oklahoma Presbyter-
ian College. l hear of these Durant
schools very often-they are per.
manent and perpetual talking point
for this town.
81 don't know if the older citizens
of this city are taking note of the
general cleanliness of Durant. The
visitor notices it,-and with your
! new station, the first impression of
the city (and generally the first i'm
preston is the strongest) is mighty
fine indeed.
| ut is to be hoped that Durant will
not get the factory bug that spoils
so many of these smaller cities. SO
many cities get it. They want any
| thing. Lord. just so it's a factory!
"Durant's Creamery has unlimited
possibilities, and no one man is in
better position to aid in the estab-
lishment of dairy herds throughout
\ Bryan county than thoroughly
kwide-awake creamery man. 1t has
been done in other sections. l know
one town in Texas where a creamery
has been operating for twelve years
The first five years of this time the
average daily cream delivery was 80
gallons. Today ii is 1900 gallons.
Over four hundred cream separators
have been sold in that one county
since January l, 1915.
Another thing that would pay
Durant is a sweet potato processing
plant. This is good sweet potato
country, and a processing and stor-
age plant would make money for the
farmer, and incidentally for Durant
II note that the white bean and
the California pink bean can be
grown here, but that the weevils get
them Immediately they are threshed
How about a processing plant. There
are five in Texas. and every one OF
them makes money. Beans are a
profitable crop.
"Durant has many things before
it. The better the surrounding ter
ritory, the better Durant will be-
come. Build Bryan county-Bryan
county will take care of Durant."

HNHB chief complaint or many against
the modern dances Is that they
require too much muscle in the
dancer. They are so vigorous.
Miss Helen @. Moller, an ingenious
and graceful young woman from the
West, has evolved system that really
builds muscle while one is dancing, and,
she believes, II discreetly adapted to the
modern fox trots, one steps and so on,
will enable any one to develop strength
enough TO go through a whole season
without fatigue-indeed, emerge from II
in better shape than when entering. Miss
Moller believes in injecting more vigor
into the dance.
The remarkable photographs on this
page. posed for by Miss Moller, will give
an idea of the amount OF vigor she thinks
necessary. She has made converts Of
many representative society women of
New York. Newport, Boston and the New
England Summer colonies.
Recently she gave demonstration
New York, for the benefit OF the Polish
Relief Fund.
Free and graceful movements are
equally impossible when there is great
emaciation or excessive fat In persons
having sound organs and who lead
normal existence either OF these condi-
tions will disappear under the influence
of dancing as II ought to be. Repetitions
OF certain prescribed movements OF the
body and limbs without any other motive
are far from successful in producing this
result. They may produce muscular de-
yelopment OF certain parts of the body,
but they will not develop all your mus
cles In their natural proportions-which
is necessary In order to make OF Il q
perfect instrument with which to obey
the commands of the mind and TO give
true physical expression to the emotions.
PRESCRIBED and fixed, artificial, forms
OF dancing also fall short OF these ideals.
Before one proceeds to dance there
should be an impulse that cannot be
obeyed In any other way. The move.
ments of the dancing body will then be
natural and graceful and will express
with spirit and truth the impulse which
called them forth. II you hold yourself
responsive 10 the beauties and charms
OF Nature, OF music, or of any other In
spring form OF art. you will find your
self more and more subject to definite

pleasurable emotions, and to desire to
express them physically. Then, II you
have enjoyed the great advantage OF be-
longing to the Back to Nature" move
ment, with its reputation OF cumber-
some garments and its enjoyment OF
outdoor life, you will find yourself dano-
ing-or wanting to dance-as the Ar
cadians danced.
THE impulse. the emotion. must come
first. You may get 1t from Summer
breezes whispering through the trees,
from the perfume OF wild flowers. from
the twittering OF birds, from the con-
volutions Of fieecy cloud sailing across
the blue of the sky. When these charms
MI you with happiness, and your feet are
bare and your limbs free from the re-
straint of unnecessary garments--why,
then you are going to dance as dancing
ought to be And the oftener you yield
TO that impulse the more perfect your
body will become.

things constantly in mind Perhaps an
enthusiastic little girl will say; oh.
