Many Land Turtles
Are Seen on Highway

morning on the new $10,000 build-

Those traveling on the highway
between here and Iowa Park the
first of the week witnessed an un-
usual sight. Thousands of land
turtles were crawling on the pave-
ment and many met with untimely
death from the passing cars.
The recent rainy season is thought
to be the reason for the land tur-
tles migrating to higher ground.

More Grip on the Roadf
Zfericfc <9bur wheel Brakes

When better automobiles are built, Buick wiU build them
Bwck four-wheel brakes give all 1924 Buick cars twice
the amount of grip on the road, thereby doubling their
broking ^btiepey. It is the friction or grip of the tire on
the road surface that brakes or slows down the car. •
Buick four-wheel brakes not only provide a greater power
to stop in case of emergency but, because of this four-
wheel road grip, reduce skidding dangers to a minimum.
In turning, Buick four-wheel brake construction auto-
matically releases whichever is the outside or guiding
front wheel so it is instantly responsive to the steering
mechanism.
Buick four-wheel brake construction distributes braking
friction over four drums and four wheels. This reduces
wear on brake linings and tires, thereby assuring their
longer life and greater efficiency with fewer adjustments.
Buick four-wheel brakes [on ah models) together with
countless other distinctive features of the 1924 cars
further establish Buick as the Standard of Comparison.

I. K. WILLIAMS APPOINTED AS
ONE OF 3 COMMISSIONERS
I. K. Williams has been appointed
as one of the three commissioners
who will select the next grand jury.
Serving wth Mr. Williams are J. L.
Belote of Iowa Park and H. L. Mc-
Gregor of Wichita Falls.
They were instructed by Judge
Martin briefly as follows: “I say to
you that in my judgment the man
who is known to be prejudiced or
the man whom you believe to be,
as I vulgarly expressed it, a lop
sided individual, is not the kind of
man that ought to serve on the
grand jury.” I would see to it
that the men I selected were men
who did not believe in any other
kind of law except the constitution
and the written laws of our State
and Nation.

September production has been
set at 4,400 cars. As a conse-
quence of this demand, Hupp has
been recently running at capacity
six days per week, in place of the
regular five and one-half day work-
ing week prevalent in* the manufac-
turing end of the automotive indus-
try. Instead of the usual nine and
one-fourth hour day five days a
week with a five hour half day on
Saturday, the Detroit plant, for in-
stance, has for six weeks been work-
ing ten and one-fourth hours five
days a week and 8 hours on Satur-
day. This makes a week of fifty-
nine and one fourth hours, eight
more than heretofore,
♦ Sales of Hupmobile for 1923 were
set at 40,000 last November. The
extent to which this volume will be
surpassed is governed only by the
ability of the factories to produce
cars, declares O. C. Hutchinson,
general manager.
Orders already placed by distribu-
tors for themselves and their deal-
ers have resulted in instructions
being issued to speed up production
in every possible channel as fast as
can be consistently done and still
conform to Hupp’s well known
standards of manufacturing pre-
cision. Due to recent additions and
increased efficiency methods at the
corporation’s body plant at Racine,
Wise., more bodies are now being
built than ever before. Capacity
output is to be continued indefintely
at all plants, is the order, in an
effort to fill current and back orders
and enable the selling organization
to display a full line of cars.

makes it certain that its high bus-

passed this year before the end of
October, with its entire manufactur-
ing facilities still engaged at capacity
in an effort to keep pace with sales.
The reception which has been
accorded the new Hupmobile models
has been so enthusiastic that the de-
mand exceeds the factory capacity
to manufacture, it was learned at its
executive offices in Detroit yester-
day. The new models were intro-
duced early in August.
