County Poultry Braadara Expact Ex-
tra Good Showing Mori in
Winter Exhibition
The Waohlta county branch of the
Oklahoma Poultry Federation la en-
thuaiaatically working on detalla tor
the ahow to be held here thia winter
The date will be January 10 11 and 12
According to thoae who are work-
ing on the detalla for the ahow it ia
expected to be one o t the beat held
by any county in thia aectkm of the
state And the premluma are going to
be well worth ahowlng for although
the amount of priaea ia not the main
conaideration of the poultry breeder
who expectB the advertising and edu-
cational value of the ahow to mean
the moat to hla work
Moat of the matter for the catalog
baa been given to the printer and it
will be iaaued shortly
It will be ne'ceaaary for each breed-
er to provide hie own ahow coopa but
thia small Job ia not expected to keep
any county fanciers from entering
Those who plan to ahow their poul-
try should start right away preparing
them so they will ahow to beat ad-
vantage Many county breeders have
very fet’d dhow type of poultry and
some stuff of ahow class but do not
realise their duality To thoae es-
pecially an appeal la being made by
the local organisation officers that
they will have a part In the show
One of the most interesting features
planned for the ahow here ia the edu-
cational program tobe conducted by
Prof Morrell Seeds of the Vocational
Agriculture Department at the Cloud
Chief schools He will show culling
feeding and care examples This fea-
ture will be more than worth while
for those who have even a bait dosen
chickens in their flock
It is not necessary to have pure
bred chickens to get value from a
poultry show — if you have any chick-
ens it will profit you well to attend

'TWA$ A SURPRI8E PARTY'
Mr and Mrs Chris Copeland new
lyweds delightfully entertained
large number of friends on VVednes
day morning in a most unique man-
ner the occasion being a surprise
party — to Mr and Mrs Copeland In
fact they did not expect to entertain
at all or at least had not issued any
invitations
The game which afforded much
merriment to the guests which in-
cluded everybody who wanted to look
whs called “show the bride to the
pedple" probably originating from
some ancient social custom
The bride was seated on a small
box in the Beacon’s mail delivery cart
which the groom pushed around the
public square his speed being some-
what determined by the Ford car-load
of friends who accompanied him fol-
lowing closely — very closely — after
Special decorations for the carriage
had been arranged for by friends and
Included several popular new posters
such as “1’ve always dreaded this”
“the longer you wait the harder you
fall" and others At the conclusion of
the parade numerous friends offered
congratulations

The following paragraph is what
the Southwestern of Weatherford has
to say about the The Harmony Four
that are to appear in Cordell Decem-
ber 6th at 7:30 p m In tho city hall
under the auspices of the high school:
‘The Caddo tribe have beaten their
tom tom drums into saxophones and
Monday morning’s performance Indi-
cated that they are adepts at making
this much maligned instrument pro-
duce pleasing harmonies The Har-
mony Four made its debut to a South-
western student assembly and was ac-
corded an ovation These premier ar-
tists presented a varied program in-
cluding la their repertoire classical
seml-classical and popular numbers
Tbg concert rendered by this quartet
has not been surpassed by any pro-

peared here The quartet was Caddo

mon verdict that the Caddoians have
rare judgment in the matter of musi-
cal values”
