kill our meat as turkey and deer
were plentiful; but our first day

and got without meat, so we had
to subsist on bread and coffee. It
was very unusual for Dr. Gordon
to come back without game. We

the stars gave some light. I asked
him how he expected to find it
in the darkness and it two or
three miles away, in the wild woods
and no roads. He said “That's all
right, you get your horse.” So we
saddled up and started. He said,
"Do you see that star?” pointing
to one, "my deer is right under
that star.” So we kept in the direc-
tion of the star until he pointed to
a white object (he had fastened his
handkerchief to a bush to keep the
wolves away from his deer), and
found the game. We got it on one
of the horses and started for camp.

Saturday night, the house belong-
ing to Emery Byrd, on the south
side of town, outside the city limits,
was completely destroyed by fire.
The family was preparing to
move and had all of their furniture
packed and crated, which was a
complete loss. No insurance was
carried. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
Friday of last week, fire caused
considerable damage to the Unique
Cafe, the rooming house above It,
and adjoining buildings being dam-
aged by water. The fire started in
a closet under the steps in the
cafe and was extinguished by the
chemical truck before it reached
much headway. The loss was cov-
ered by insurance.

The Armour Creameries of this
city are to have a new poultry
building as soon as it can be com-
pleted. Actual pouring of the con-
crete has already started.
A 25x55 foot building with con-
crete floor and concrete founda-
tion and the rest to be of sheet-
iron, is being built just back of the
present wood$n structure Of the
Armour Creameries. J. W. Johnson
of Charley, Texas, owner of these
lots, is personally supervising and
having this work done.
This structure, when completed,
will be a first-class poultry build-
ing and will accommodate the
large business that this company
has built up here. Mack Thrasher,
local manager, states that he will
have ample room this year to han-
dle the coming turkey business
without being hampered for room
as in the past.
Plans at present are to move in
these new quarters and then to
tear down the old structure which
is now occupied and to build an-
other new building there, both
buildings eventually to be occupied
by Armour Creameries. . ,
Holds Poultry Grading
School.
Wichita Falls, Texas, March 25.—
Approximately 25 workers and
guest dealers of the Armour
Creameries, a subsidiary of the Fort
Worth Poultry and Egg Company,
attended an all-day school at the
local plant, 504 Tenth, Thursday
and were instructed concerning
quality grading and diseases of
poultry.
Employes at the Armour plant
here and poultry dealers in this
trade territory were among those
who attended the school. The Wi-
chita Falls plant ships the greater
part of its produce to the New
England states and draws from a
100-mile radius of the city.
The school, among the many held
throughout the state, was cwnduct-
ed in an effort to bring the pro-
ducers in closer contact with the
company and to instruct them in
doing a more complete job of grad- .
ing. Instructions concerning dis-
eased fowls were also a featured
part of the school.
“Our plant in Wichita Falls is
here to stay," Mr. Collier declared.
"We will do active business every
day in the year and ask the coop-
eration of the breeders of the ter-
ritory in helping us maintain the
highest type of service.
"Our plant at Fort Worth is at
present installing one of the first
egg powdering plants in the South-
west. and on completion it will be
used to aid in supplying the area
here with properly frozen eggs.
Consequently, no longer will the
poultrymen be forced to use pow-
dered eggs brought from China.”

I the Gospel of Christ, preached in
its simplicity and purity, is God’s
power, and power enough, to draw
men unto God.
In these services you will not be
embarrassed by having someone in
person come to you soliciting you
for church membership. The Gos-
pel will be preached to you so you
can understand it. then a public in-
vitation will be extended for all who
will accept it.
In these services there will be no
public appeal for money. No col-
lection will be taken at any of these
services except at the regular Sun- i
day services. Another attractive
feature of the meeting will be the1
congregational singing. No instru-
ment will be used at any time, only
vocal singing of Gospel songs, in
which all may take part.
Services will begin promptly at

Several musical numbers and a
quartet were rendered. The com-

The new Ford V-8 engine is re-
markably free from vibration. Fre-
quent and overlapping impulses de-
I'.ver the power in a smooth flow.
The engine is of the 90-degree
V-type. developing 65 brake horse-
power at 3400 r.p.m. The 65-pound
crankshaft is of the 90-degree type,
with its four cranks at right angles
to each other.
The cranksl'’ft is statically and
dynamically balanced and
throws counter-balanced
crankshaft, connecting rods
pistons also are in balance so that
the engine operates with remarka-
ble smoothness at a” engine speeds.
Pistons are of aluminum alloy and
have three rings, the lower acting
as an oil-control ring
Cylinder blocks and
are cast in one unit,
ceedingly rigid engine contraction.
New type, one-piece valves, which
rliminate tappets, operate directly
from the crankshaft without push-
rods.
Connecting rods from r pposite
pistons are placed side bv slie on
each 90-degree crankshaft th’-ow.
These are mounted on nt-w floa’ing
steel bushings, babbitted > side and
cut which serve to give the benefit
of the full crankpin bearing area
to each connecting rod thus afford-
ing longer wear.
A cast aluminum cover embrac-
ing the intake anifold forms the
top of the engine, giving it an unu-
sually finished appearance. The
down-draft carburetor and the fuel
pump are mounted on this cover.
The gas is preheated in the in-
take manifold by a hot spot creat-
ed by hot. exhaust gases surging
back and forth through a small
passage in the manifold cover
plate. Exhaust ports are on the
outside of the engine blocks, the
left exhaust pipe being carried
around the front of the engine.
The distributor operates directly
from the front end of the cam-
shaft eliminating the use of inter-
posed gears. Spark control is au-
tomatic. Crankshaft and crank pin
bearings are lubricated by pressure
as are the main bearings of the
camshaft. Pistons and valves are
oiled by spray and splash.
A fan of airplane propeller type
and two centrifugal water pumps
together with the large surface of
the radiator insure ample cooling
under all driving conditions.
The rugged new double-drop
frame is formed to the shape of
the body and, with the new low
rear spring, provides a low center
of gravity, with consequent in-
crease in roadability.
The riding comfort of the cars is
due to many factors, but particu-
larly to the new flexible transverse
cantilever springs, larger tires, rub-
ber Insulation and the newly-de-
signed shock absorbers.
Two new features have been in-
corporated in the Houdaille hy-
draulic double-acting shock absorb-
ers. One. a thermostat control
which conpensates for Varying tem-
peratore conditions, and the other,
a special valve which automatic-
ally lessens the effect of sudden
