r | ’'HE impression- that all cars sold at
-*• approximately the same price give
approximately the same results, never
was less true than today.
There are now two ways of building motor
cars. One is to forget quality and build
cars for trading purposes. The cost of
production is cut to the bone, so that
dealers may offer you more than the
market value for your used car.
The Buick way is to build for quality**
sake—to give owners a better new car
full of value—with every modern feature.
Compare Buick design to that of other
cars of the same or higher list price, and
fix Buick superiority firmly in your
mind, before you spend your money.

Tn the Southwest, where the short-
age of feed crops last year was so
marked, farmers are said to be plan-
ning to devote more than the usual
amount of attention to the cultivation
of such crops, and it seems rather
probable that this tendency will in
some degree at least, cut into the
acreage given over to cotton.
The crop is distinctly later than
normal throughout the entire belt.

As to Welding—
miiuiiiimi
Cotton Crop Now
Two Weeks Late
We are prepared to do any kind of
welding job needed on an automobile.
There is often much work of this na-
ture about a car and it must be very
carefully done. Often it means a
serious break-down, loss of time, and
worse ,if the welded parts of your car
fail at a critical moment. Let us do
the welding and you’re safe.

NEW YORK, May 5.—The full re-
turns of the cotton correspondents of
the Journal of Commerce have now
been tabulated. The returns indicate:
That acreage will not vary more
than very slightly from that of last
year.
That
fertilizer sales
larger than last season.
That the ' crop is on the average
nearly two weeks late at the present
time.
The season is so backward this
year, and in consequence the progress
of farm operations has been so re-
tarded that it does not seem advisable
at this time to attempt to present a
definite percentage of acreage change
for the belt as a whole.
The changes at the moment seem to
indicate that a minor reduction will
take place, but the outlook is by far
from clear as yet, since further bad
weather might easily upset the pro-
gram that the farmers have laid out
for themselves. Probably as good a
guess as any on the basis of all the
returns received by this newspaper,
would be that the area devoted to
cotton this year will be 97.5 per cent
to 100 per cent of that of last year.
It is significant that in the more
southerly districts, where preparations
and actual planting are the furthest
along, most estimates indicate virtu-
ally no change in acreage from last
year, or else show a slight increase.
Further north, however, there is a
more noteworthy disposition to esti-
mate acreage at a figure below last
year.

“We have been on this farm for the last
six years and we milk six cows on an
average and we honestly believe if we
had purchased a Primrose when we first
came to the farm we would be $1000.00
ahead of what we are now.”

back the invading team of the Free-
port Sulphur Company, to the tune of
8 to 4.
The game opened with the visitors
getting away to a three-run lead, but
this was soon overcome when the Gulf
team got on to the offerings of Rogers
and knocked him from the box. Tack-
er, who replaced him, fared little
better.
Sensational fielding by Hawkins,
Selleh and Creditor robbed the visi-
tors of several hits which would have
been possible runs.
Tacker relieved Rogers for Free-
port, as did Glenn for Aper for Gulf,
in the fourth inning. Glenn allowed
one scratch hit in the remaining five
innings.

With yesterday’s issue we began
publication of a series of pictorial and
educational pages on community sub-
jects of importance and commend
same to the careful attention of our
readers.
The campaign embraced by these
pages has been made possible by the
good-will and practical support of
those whose names appear at the bot-
tom of the page, and the roster of
names gives abundant evidence of the
desire on the part of our banks, in-
dustrial concerns, merchants, profes-
sional men and individuals to pro-
mote the welfare of Bay City and
Matagorda County.
It will be a happy thing for all of
us if we will read and digest the arti-
cles as they appear and seek to profit
by them for the benefit of the city and
county at large and ourselves as indi-
viduals.
Life is but short for the oldest
among us and apart from the bite to
eat three times daily, a place to sleep
in, clothing and shelter,—which we
all need and manage to get,—it would
not be worth living without the fel-
lowship which is created and devel-
oped through living together in the
place in which our lot is cast.
In this connection we can all recall
with profit the words of that world
citizen, Robert Burns:
“Oh! would some power the giftie gie us,
To see ourselves as others see us—
It would frae many a blunder free us—
And foolish notion.”
Now it is easy for any one of us to
quote this to the other fellow, but to
really get the good of it we should
take an inventory of ourselves as in-
dividuals with a view to seeing what
in our walk and ways may be modi-
fied or improved to make us each one
more agreeable friends and citizens.
We are sensible indeed of being far
from perfect, but feel it not inoppor-
tune to say that our slogan, “There
Is Nothing Too Good For Our
Friends,” is really what we feel to-
wards them, much as we may fail in
practical demonstrations.
We embrace the opportunity to
thank our friends for the courtesy
and co-operation shown by them to
the representatives of the Syndicate
which is furnishing the campaign.
The absence of some from the list of
business men called upon was because
they were out when visited.
We believe the articles and the co-
operation in producing them will be
helpful to us all and lead to fuller
realization of how we are bound to-
gether in the same “Bundle of Life”
here in our city and county.
If there are others who would like
to join in this remarkable campaign
we can add their names to the next
advertisement on the same basis
charged those who have already join-
ed. And, permit us to say here that
for the modest amount charged for
the service we can not see how any
business concern can afford to stay
out. We will be pleased to tell you
about it.
Bleeding gums stopped in 12 hours;
soreness disappears in 24 hours; pus
clears up in two to three days; teeth
begin to tighten in ten days, and if
your trouble has not been completely
eliminated in three or four weeks, get
your money back.

Athletes from every school in Tex-
as, out of Texas, and out of one’s
imagination participated in the great
indoor track meet held at the Ham-
ilton Hall Friday night. Without a
doubt the black boys from Prairie
View and the boys of Huntsville were
in better shape and trim than any of
the oth^r contestants, always winning
by one or two points and never fall-
ing off.
Below is the list of races, but due
to such a hot contest and so close,
the winners have not been definitely
decided:
1. Two Hundred-Yard Dash—A ball
of adding machine tape (paper) is
necessary for this event, or cloth
strips of sufficient length may also
do, or telegrapher’s tape. Anything
of the sort about seven or eight yards
in length and two or three inches
wide will do. Four pairs of scissors.
At a given signal the contestants be-
gin to cut from one end of the tape
through the other end, which is being
held by members of the respective
teams, four pieces of tape of the same
length of course, being provided. This
is more exciting than it sounds.
2. Handicap Race—Girl and boy
contestant from each team. Four
chairs in a row, on each of which are
a needle and a piece of thread. Right
arm of girl tied to left arm of boy;
placed in front of chairs. At signal
each girl picks up the needle with her
left hand, and each boy the thread
with his right, and then the boy tries
to thread the needle.
3. Standing Broad Smile—Measure
smile of each contestant with tape
measure. The broadest smile wins.
Boy and girl too might represent a
college, the combined width of their
smiles being counted. Make the con-
testants stand in line, facing crowd.
4. Inside 1
water, with teaspoon, contestants sit-
ting, facing crowd. Girl feed boy
with spoon.
5. Running High Jump—Contestants
strike low note, then high note, the
pitch being given by some person at
the piano. The one who goes from

the lowest to the highest wins the
event. Quality of voices does not
count, just so the contestant makes

pitch.
6. Relay Races—Three or four girls <
(could be boys) from each team. Sit
in line on platform by teams, each
provided with one or two crackers.
At a given signal the first contestant
on each team begins eating a cracker.
When finished, she must whistle. Not
until she has done so can her next
team-mate begin. The team
last contestant eats a cracker
whistles first wins the event.
i 7. Standing High Jump—Three
Idoughnuts suspended in doorway
about four inches above the mouth of
jumpers. Contestants with hands
tied attempt to get a bite. One bite
wins.
8. Twenty-Foot Dash—The contest-
ants must hop a given distance on one
foot and carry, without spilling,
glass of water in the right hand.
9. Running Broad Jump—Two rep-
resentatives from each group. Con-
testants whistle, while everybody else
laughs and tries to make them laugh.
The one whistling the longest with-
out laughing, wins.
10. Discuss Throw-—Contestant must
throw paper plates, discus-fashion,
that is, holding the plat like a waiter
holds a tray and balancing on one foot,
taking two short hops and a forward
step to the line as they let the
plate go.
11. Shot Put—Give each one five or
ten peanuts and place a quart jar or
tumbler at a certain distance from
the line. Contestants see which can
throw the most into the receptacle.
This may be contest by the groups,
each player getting a chance. In this
case a receptacle would be placed op-
posite each team’s line-up, and the
side putting the most peanuts into its
jar wjns. Three peanuts may be giv-
en to each player.
Teams are allowed to root and give
their yells as they would do at a reg-
ular meet.
Declamations, ridiculous poems,
contestants dressed as children can
be used, and many other events. A
loving cup (tin) may be presented to
the winning team.
The returns of the meet go to the
athletics of Bay City High School.
