IN SELLING USED CARS
This Is A Question We Hear
“I Don’t Know Anything About Cars. How Can
I Be Sure 1 Am Getting A Good Buv?”
The answer is simple. Buy the car from a dealer you can
trust. Buy from the dealer who has a long standing
reputation for fair dealing and hopesty. Buy from the
dealer who offers a guarantee without “strings.” Buy
from the dealer who does business without the benefit of
exaggerated claims and wild schemes. Buy from the
dealer who isn’t afraid to tell you where he got the car
you are interested in.
Frank Crawford Motor Company meets all these tests of
reliability. We invite you to come in and see our cars
and talk to us about them. We invite you to ask your
friends about our reputation and high standing we have
so long enjoyed in this community.

sugar is excellent. Don’t give
alcohol; it is a depressant.
Apply pressure bandages or
tourniquets for bleeding
wounds. Don’t keep them in
place too long, for damage to
the tissues may result. Stop ex-
vessive bleeding by holding a
boric-acid pack against the
wound as tightly as possible
until it can be properly band-
aged. Deep cuts should be
stitched.
Broken bones should also be
treated professionally. Straight-
en broken legs, taking care not
to cut a blood vessel with the
sharp bone edges. Apply a
splint, a stick or straight piece
of wood, by laying it along the
leg and tieing it above and be-
low the break.-.Never move a
dog with broken ribs, pelvis oi
shoulder blade. Send for a vet.
A dog may bite when in pain.

about 20 pushes a minute.
Feedin? Tips: Although some
' fat is essential in al dog’s diet,
don’t add too much. Most com-
mercial dog foods, such as
Friskies, already contain
enough. Too much fat may re-
duce the food eaten by grow-
ing pups so they don’t get suf-
ficient essential nutrients for
normal growth. In older dogs, it
may cause qverfatness.

The Lane Home Demonstra-
tion Club met in the home of
Mrs. Ernest Sprinkle for an all
day meeting with 9 members
and 4 visitors present. The dem-
onstration was on meal planning
by the agent, Mrs. Thompson.
Since Mrs. Thompson couldn’t
be with us, Mrs. Lawrence Hunt-
er of the Midway Club gave a
demonstration on table settings.
She also told us how to prepare
the vegetables.
Mrs. Ernest Berry, president,
presided over the' business meet-
ing. She also gave the council
report.
Mrs. Ernest Sprinkle gave the
devotional.
We are sorry that Mrs. Paul
Manning is not the club reporter
any more.
Mrs. Ernest Sprinkle led the
group in singing “When Irish
Eyes Are Smiling.”
The four visitors were Mrs.
Lawrence Hunter, Mrs. P. 'M.
Shields and little Garry Mac

increasing the feeding of concen-
trates to offset the deficiency of
the grass.
The U.S.D.A. has been keeping
records since 1931 on the rations
fed milk cows. During the first five
years 15% of all concentrates fed
were manufactured feeds. During
the last 5 years the average jumped
to 26%. The increase in improved
feeding closely parallels the in-
crease in average milk production
per cow. Last year this reached an
all-time high of over 5200 pounds!
Dairymen at Ohio State Univer-
sity say that if all cows were as
well fed as those in D.H.I.A., con-
sumption of roughages would be
increased 50%, nutrient intake
would be doubled and the use of
concentrates would be increased
up to 20%. Such feeding practices
would provide better dairy cow
nutrition and lower the cost oi
milk production.

DOGS AND ACCIDENTS
by Dr. E. M. Gildow
Director, Friskies Research Kennels
Since most dogs are playful
and venturesome, you may be
called upon occasionally to pro-
vide first aid following minor
mishaps. Major accidents will
require a veterinarian’s care.
A dog hurt in an accident
nearly always suffers shock,
which should be treated before
cuts and breaks. Cover him
A large audience was present
■ at the First Baptist Church Sun-
day to greet the pastor, Rev.
Jimmy Heflin, who had been ab-
sent for the past two weeks while
in a revival at Witharral.
Music for Sunday’s service was

lard with Mrs. Bob MqCarrol,
organist, and Miss Joyce Mc-
Broom, pianist, assisting.
Among the large number
visitors were Mr. and Mrs.
Heflin and sons, Boo and Johnny,
of Little Rock, Ark. Mr. Heflin
is a brother of Rev. Jimmie Hef-
lin. This was the first oppor-
tunity the members have had to
express their appreciation to the
J. Heflin family for the wool
carpet on the stage of the new
church.
An intermediate boy was re-
Iceived as a new member of the
’ i church at the morning service.

While milk production per cow is moving gradually upward, the
potential is far from being achieved, according to the Union Bag &
Paper Corporation which provides multiwall bags for animal feed.
Cows produce according to their
inherited ability, their stage of lac-
tation and the amount and kind of
feed they eat. All being equal, the
more a cow eats, the more profit
-she returns over feed costs.
Many cows are underfed during
Summer months because farmers
ijput too much faith in pasture feed-
ing. Milk production drops off in
July and August simply because
cows on pasture are hungry.
Early in the Summer when grass
is abundant, a cow eats enough to
take the place of a full feed of hay
and silage. But by mid-summer,
sufficient nutrition is difficult to
Milk can be produced most eco-
nomically from a ration based on
good roughage supplemented with
<enough grain and protein to meet
minimum nutritive requirements.
Through proper supplementation
in feeding, the Summer slump in
milk production can be avoided by
