With Which To Buy Same
From Many sources.

With w. A. Roberts presiding M
the Chamber of Commerce luncheon
Tuesday there were many matters Of
interest to come before the body
Matters that will give the member
ship an opportunity to do some
really effective work during the next
few weeks are the organization of a
Baby Beef club and perfecting ar
rangements for the entertainment of
the delegates to the Jubilee celebra-
ton of the Central Texas confer
ence, which meets here in November.
The club took an active part in ex-
tending the invitation to the Meths
odists to hold their conference jubi-
lee celebration here and of course
the members will do their full part
toward helping the local Methodists
care for the visitors. 1t is expected
that there will be some $50 to $50
delegates in attendance and il is
customary to provide homes for these
delegates for some five days. The
! occasion is celebration of the gol-
den or 50th anniversary of the or
/ ganization OF the conference, which
was founded in this city Just fifty
years ago.
Dave Smith of Midlothian was
present and proposed that Ellis
county ought to have a Baby Beef
club. He said he was so firmly con-
WINGED that it would go that he had
proposed to furnish money for the
boys to buy calves with if necessary.
but that he had been informed that
Waxahachie wanted part in the
work and would provide money for
any boys in her trade territory who
wanted to feed a calf.
When Mr.. Smith finished his pro-
posal Lynn d. Lasswell followed
with a statement that the Waxaha-
chic National bank had found the
pig club notes very satisfactory pa
per and further that it would be a
pleasure for his banking house to
handle all the Baby Beef club notes
in this trate territory. He was fol-
lowed by j. N. Langsford for the Citi-
zens National bank who proposed to
do the same thing. Secretary Schus-
ter also made similar proposition
for the Guaranty State bank in the
absence of Mr.. Waggoner.
Following these announcements
B. F. Hawkins of Midlothian said
/ he wanted to commend the associa-
ton for taking up this movement,
saying it was one of the best things
that could be started, but the only
! objection he found was the fact that
such movements are supported large
ly by Waxahachie and Midlothian
people. He wanted to widen the
scope and adopt some means of get
ting farmer boys or other sections
interested in the plan. He proposed
a banquet some evening when rep
resentative men of the various pre-
cincts could be invited and an effort
made to enlist their aid in the move
ment. He said it was sad fact
that Ellis county soil was deterio-
rating rapidly and that the only sure
way of remedying the evil was to
turn to raising and feeding cattle.
He believes the yearling's hide makes
the best grainery or anything and
thinks too many farmers could not
engage in a small way in feeding
baby beef.
Mr.. Hardin was in hearty sympa-

was member of the agricultural
