From the standpoint of better and more profit-
able farming, every comparison you can make
points emphatically to-Cletrac as the most
capable, dependable and useful tractor you can
buy. No other tractor offers so complete a
combination of advantages — or so great a
value for the money.

undertakers and casket Sellers have orded
shown a great deal more enthusiasm 1
in complying with the death regis-
tration law than physicians and pa-
rents have' in the ’ matter of birth
registraiton, and as a result some
surprising figures were shown in
the vital statistic i------- -- -----
Approximately 2100 infants died in
1928, according to death certificates1
filed, whereas only about
births were registered, making a
record for infant mortality which1

widows and orphans who have to
depend upon having birth certifi-

Chambers of Commerce, P.-T. A.
and other civic organizations have
been asked to give this project
every assistance possible. Keep on
urging that undertakers and casket
dealers continue their work of re-
porting all deaths but overcome the
figures shown by seeing that every
child is provided with a birth
tificate and that physicians,
wives and parents report all
dren born in this state and
registered.

Elgctrja seenis to have lost force or
.'fallen' flat. The fact that aviation
* is, gaining so rapidly as a com-
mercial proposition is readily seen.
.-Electra must realize that to hold
their status as a live city, awake
to-every opportunity for progress,
, 'something must be done, and that
5 quickly. Our neighbor city, Ver-
non, has built and equipped a splen-
' .did airport. Graham, no larger
. 'than Electra, has already proved it-
self abreast of the times by build-
' ing and equipping an adequate air-
* (port. The spectacular in the way
of air feats still hold sway in the
, ^public mind as is shown by the
* amount of space given by the press
to “endurance stunts’ tests and
publicity flights, but the actual com-
mercial success of air express, air
mail and air travel is already as-
sured.
The headlines in the great state
' and national dailies tell the story
of progress of air travel. One
morning’s mail yielded the follow-
ing headlines: “Traffic Getting
Thicker Daily at Airport”; “Sky-
Diner to Visit Wichita Falls and
Graham”; “Third Effort To Get
Under Way a Success”; “Took Off
Monday From Old Orchard to
Rome”; “Ad Club Members Fly To
Waco Meeting;” “30 Hours Across
U. S. By Air s Next Plan;” “Dan-
ish Aviators Reach Greenland;”
