main to be bought.
None of the Texas wools thus far
disposed of in Boston for the co-
operatives have sold for less than 10
per cent above the advances given
in the state and the percentage as an
average has run well above that fig-
ure. Mr. Lea was quoted as having
stated.
In many cases in the southwest
the coop has offered within one eent
of the market price as an advance and
in some cases the advance has been
greater than the market quotation, the
wool man claims. He estimates there
are unsold in Texas about 7.000,000
pounds of 12 months wool and 0,000,-
000 pounds of eight months clip, he
coop has sold none of the mohair ac-

Heavy rains the last part of last
week and the first part of this week,
while well received by the people of
this setion. yet much hinderance has
been experienced by those traveling
through the Hill Country, as well as
delayed mails to our city.
We are glad to report at this time
that all roads leading out of the city
have been worked over, graded and
btaded. with the result that very little
evidence is had of heavy rains of the
past few days.
Edwards county conditions are all
that could be desired, and our ranch-
men are alt wearing broad smiles
these days, while neighboring counties
that were badly burned, report fairly
good rain falls, and conditions in these
counties are improved materially.
Our sister county of Kimble, that
has been dry for a long period, re-
ceived drenching rains Sunday, and
ranchmen atending the two-day jubi-
lee this week state that the rains will
put range conditions in much better
shape there.
MORE FRUIT IN DIET, AIM OF
FANNIN COUNTY WOMEN
We now have two men running for
governor on a ticket we are support-
ing, and it is indeed hard for one fav-
oring what they stand for to pick a
choice. We have reference to Lynch
Davidson and Jim Young. Either of
these gentlemen will give you a sound
business administration.

Albany—Skim milk in the poultry
ration has reduced the cost of produc-
ing eggs nearly 5 cents per dozen for
five Shackelfoi|i coultry demonstra-
tors. The milk permitted a cheaper
grain ration and resulted in a feed
cost of 7.7 cents per dozen for eggs
from these flocks as compared to an
average cost of 12 cents per dozen in
five other demonstration flocks where
no milk was used.
It is pointed out by A. C. Magee,
county agent, that 100 hens will con-
sume with profit about three gallons
of skim milk daily, and that when this
amount is avilable the expehsive pro-
tein feeds in the mash may largely
be omitted. If cows are good, 100 hens
to each dairy cow is a good balance
to maintain between the dairy and
poultry branches of (he far mbusiness,

After the F
Twenty-five Thousand
M ites
THE VALUE of Bound design, good materials and careful
craftsmanship is especially apparent in the new Ford after
the first twenty-five thousand miles. Long, continuous
service emphasizes its mechanical reliability and economy of
operation and up-keep.
As you drive the Ford through many'months and years yon
will develop an increasing pride in its appearance and a
growing respect for the substantial worth that has been builf
into it. From every standpoint—in everything that goes to
make a good automobile—-you will know that you have made
a far-seeing, satisfactory purchase.
Wherever you go, you hear enthusiastic praise of the ear
and this significant, oft-repeated phrase—“I’m glad I
bought a Ford.”

A FORD owner in New York tells of a
13,000-mile trip across the United States
and back in sixty days and says “the car
was extremely economical to operate, com-
fortable and speedy.** A grateful father
tells how the Triplex shatter-proof glass
windshield saved his wife and children
from serious injury.
To test tires, a large company drove a
new Ford day and night, for an average of
500 miles every twenty-four hours. It was
still giving satisfactory service after
105,000 miles.
A Ford car that had fallen Into Fernan
Lake was submerged for twelve days be-
fore being raised. After a new battery and
carburetor bowl were installed, it was driven
back to Spokane under its own power.
Many police departments have written
of the special advantages of the Ford In
crowded traffic because of its alert speed,
acceleration, and ease of control. An in-
creasing number of fleet owners are also
purchasing the Ford because their cost
figures have given conclusive proof of its
economy of operation aqd upkeep.
In addition to important triumphs in
Germany, France and Italy, the Ford won
six ont of seven leading places in a contest
in Finland, first and secodd in the Rafaela
races in Argentina, first and second in the
run from Copeuhsgeu-to-Paris-to-Copen* (
hagen, tlufeegold medals in F.ngland,. first
ranking in the durability test pVer the1
tortuous Amancaes road in Pern, and first ‘
place in the 1930reliability run conducted
by the Royal Automobile Club of Sweden.
This contest was an exceptionally se-
vere test of endurance and Sturdy con-
struction because it was held in the dead of
winter and covered 600 miles of steady
running over snow-covered country road* f.
and mountainous hills.
