a leading chemist, in The American
Magazine, declares that every scien-
tific discovery of consequence is fil-
lowed by schemes and inventions of
no merit, for all of which money is
sought. It seems to be a curious trait
in human nature, this scientist de-
clares, that schemes proposed by ig-
norant men or those without special
knowledge are believed more readily
than the hard facts of a scientist who
has studied the problem for years.
This, it is supposed, is because the
uninformed salesmen of ideas leap
over all obstacles and arrive at a re-
sult pleasing to everyone.

The musical concert given last
Thursday night at the Junior High
School auditorium for the benefit of
the Jewish Temple, which will be
erected in Mercedes was well attend-
ed by local people and the Valley in
general.
Musical artists who appeared on
the evening’s program, which includ-
ed violin, vocal and piano numbers,
were Irving L. Weisfeld of Chicago,
tenor; Terry Ferrell, violinist; Miss
Huldah Walden and Miss Verna
Klapperick, pianist.
The entire program was excellent-
ly given and was a treat to Mercedes
music lovers.
DON’T NEGLECT
T H IS IMPORT-
ANT FEATURE.
Golf enthusiasts were given a real
treat last Sunday afternoon at the
Llano Grande golf club when they
witnessed the Mercedes representa-
tives defeat the Weslaco team. This
tournament is a feature of the local
golf course each year to decide the
championship of the two cities, Mer-
cedes and Weslaco. The two rival
teams are now even, for the Weslaco
team won the championship last year.
Both teams played consistent golf.
The match was decided on the point
system, the winners of each nine be-
ing given one point, with one point
awarded for the winners of each 18
holes.
The Mercedes team was composed
of Lydell, Haynes, Snyder and
Rouse. The Weslaco team was made
upof Waters, Stuart, Solether and
Sherrill.
Lydell and Haynes of Mercedes
were paired with Waters and Stuart
in the morning round with Rouse and
Snyder playing Solether and Sherrill.
In the afternoon the pairings were
reversed.
THE modern automobile is
a finely built piece of ma-
chinery and it will stand a
lot of abuse. Considering
the work it does, it gives sur-
prisingly little trouble. But
there isn’t a car made that
will not run better and
longer if given proper care.
The first few hundred
miles are especially impor-
tant because that is when
the mechanism of your car
is being broken in.
Proper attention during
this period will lengthen its
life and prevent unnecessary
trouble later on.
We are particularly inter-
ested in this matter because
we believe it is our duty not
only to make a good auto-
mobile, but to help the
owner get the greatest pos-
sible use over the longest
period of time at a mini-
mum of trouble and
expense.
With this in view, the
entire Ford dealer organ-
ization has been specially
trained and equipped to ser-
vice the new Model A car.
Furthermore, we have in-
structed every Ford
ways to prepare the fowl for the
most exacting guests at writer in
Farm and Fireside suggests that ba-
con, stretched across the breast of
the turkey, protects it from burning
and gives a most delicious taste.
“Strips of bacon placed across the
breast, held in place by tooth-picks,
protects this tender part from the
heat, basting it with bacon grease,”
says the writer. “Pieces of bacon
also can be tied over the ends of the

Mrs. Joe Brooks informally enter-
tained with a surprise birthday party
for her husband on Hallowe’en even-
ing. Jack-o-lanterns were used, cut-
outs of cats and witches added to the
decorations. The accessories for the
bridge tables were in the same attrac-
tive clors of orange and black. Hal-
lowe’en favors were presented to
each guest.
Mrs- Fred Brooks scored for high
among the ladies. William Coe was
high among the men and Mrs. Wil-
liam Coe scored for low. Mr. Brooks
was he recipient of a number of birth-
day greetings and gifts.
The hostess served tempting re-
freshments, there was even a choco-
late birthday cake with tiny yellow
candies. This, Mr.Brooks cut and
served to the guests, who included
Mr. and Mrs. William Coe, Mr. and
Mrs. Will Copeland, Mr. and Mrs.
Bob Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Fred

As a new dressing for the turkey
this year the writer suggests a loaf
of raisin bread as a base, adding
stock, celery, onions, oysters and
nuts, and then steaming all together
in a tight steamer for twenty min-
utes before stuffing the turkey. It
is said to be advisable to allow twen-
ty minutes per pound of turkey, in
the matter of cooking, at a tempera-
ture of 350 degrees. ,

The contour map of Texas avenue
from the railroad to Tenth streeet
and of the Highway from bridge to
bridge has been completed by F. G.
Tappan, city engineer and George
Commons, American Company engi-
neers, and has been forwarded to
Major Edward A. Wood, city plan
engineer of Dallas. Using this map
Major Wood will work out beautifi-
cation plans and other features for
these two streets. These plans will
be completed within two weeks and
the work of carrying them out will
be begun immediately by the Busi-
ness and Professional Woman’s Club
in co-operation with city officials.
The Texas avenue and Highway
project will be the principal feature
of the club’s city beautification plan
for the year, and in connection with
their contest plan, particularly atten-
tion will be paid to these two streets.
The plans will probably call for
uniform curbing, parking space,
building line restrictions, and plant-
ing of flowers and shrubbery.
A suggestion made by J. C. Deyo
of the Archer-Deyo Nash Co., to or-
ganize Highway property owners will
be carried out by the members of the
Business and Professional Women’s
Club. Plans are made to call a meet-
ing this week to work out this organ-
ization to co-operate in the beautifi-
cation plans for the Highway.
The plans drawn for the A. N.
Brown bungalow, in connection with
the Landscape and Gardening
School held here two weeks ago by
the Business Womens’ Club, have all
been completed and were turned in
to the Civic committee of the Club
Saturday. They were numbered and
turned over yesterday to Mr. Brown
who will choose one for use in land-
caping the lawn of his home. The
winner will be announced next Sat-
urday and awarded the $20 prize
offered by Mr. Brown at the begin-
ning of the Landscape school.
