Gram Harvest1 Isa
Now Under W^y
Three hundred truck’ 1 loads 'of
•wheat had been handled at the Kem-
ple -apd Myers elevator up until
Thursday morning. Possibly, twenty-
five loads had been sold to,, iridi-
. -k“viduals or independent buyers, it ----- „
•was said, to that date. | Christ ; at' Wichita > Falls,. Sunday
The‘'harvest'has-been in full swing morning. The Reddell family return-.
since the latter part of’Llast/week ed to their home that afternoon,
and combines were kept working
over Sunday .in efforts to save the
grain from deterioration- in case "of
rain or hailstorm.' The, yield is the
- betet made here in years. “ H. B.
Scales,- .who resides in the/Barwise
community, has completed his- wheat
harvest and the average yield per
acre was 31 bushels of No. 1 grain.
Others whose yield is that good or
possibly better have riot made’’ a
complete check'-as yet. Barley and
oat threshing has barely begun but
the yield in both is ^ood except
where the army worms got in their
work some days ago.
Combines were run each * night
during the week, lights having been
rigged up for use on both the trac-
tors arid jmachines. Light showers
which fell Wednesday night, slowed
down the workout unless'mere .rain
falls tlie- machines will/be running
again by^ Thursday night. -
Whqat 'sold Sunday-and until noon
Monday; at 40 cents per bushel, No.
1 basis,? but’ a 'drop to 38 cents; took
place at noon and within a few
hours a' second slash in price cut it
to 36 cents, which price was paid
all day...Wednesday,. but opened on
■Thursday morning at 35. Allen
Kemple of the Kemple. &' Myers
firm,, said Thursday morning that
theyL had' bought some barley at 18
cents^ per .bushel but had bought only
a negligible quantity of oats which
are quoted at 13 to 17 cents per
busheL ’
H; C. Obenhaus and, s&numbfetf of
others of the v farmers^ who have
large acreage in wheat are storing
it on their farms, and it Js thought
that one-third of the crop produced
here will be held on the/farms, Tor a
time.
The opening of the Texas-Okla-
homa Co-operative Wheat Growers
elevator, Thursday, was announced
and Mr. Lasley, manager ?said that
the association would” either pur-
chase outright or stereogram for
both members and non-jmembers.

Interest in Supertwist
Demonstrations .Still
Keen, Says Skinner
t ___________
Interest in demonstrations qf ?Sup-
ertwist Cord fabric, the kind that is
used in the makeup of the Goodyear
tires he sells, never seems to wane,
according to W. R. Skinner, man-
ager of the Peoples Ice & Utilities
Co. service station.
HI guesss that-1 the reason why
so many people are interested in
this cord that outstretches and out
re-covers every other cord on the
market is that it shows action and
’ quality. Every customer or prospect
who buys from us sees this Super-
twist machine demonstrated and
then he knows one of the many rea-
sons /why we are handling Goodyear
tires.’
“Supertwist is, as you know, a
J patented type of cord .tire construc-
tion , used exclusively in Goodyear
All Weather and Pathfinder tires.
It was developed by Goodyear atone
of its cotton mills to provide for
the extra flexing action of sidewalls
in balloon tires and has successfully
met. this need.” ---
, The Peoples Ice A Utilities com-
pany has a complete line of truck
and Jbus tires as well as passenger
’fcrir sizes and* all the facilities neces-
. sary for servicing and repairing
them. Moreover, what is equally as
important* the tire men know what
tire’ type and size should be used
by certain drivers, depending upon
their handling of the., car, the a-
mount they drive and the like. This
analysis is given out to anyone who
drives in to the service station and
asks for it.. It places the customer
under no obligation whatsoever.
htisses Mary and Peggy McGann
returned Sunday night from an ex-
tended vacation trip which included
visits with friends in Dallas 1 and
Corpus Christi and a tour to Mpnt-
erey, Mexico. They report having

greatly enjoyed the trip through
Mexico. Miss Mary resumed her
work: at the First State bank and
Miss Peggy her positron as society
