The wide utility of this popular body type makes it a splendid
winter car for the average family.
In the Tudor Sedan you have a closed car you will not hesitate
to take out in any weather. Light in weight, yet sturdy and
always dependable of performance, it is safe, convenient and
extremely easy for anyone to handle.
In its roomy interior you will ride snugly and comfortably. View-
ing its attractive appearance, you will never regret your decision
to purchase this inexpensive, yet so highly satisfactory a car.

W. M. U. Quarterly Meeting.
The first quarterly meeting of
the W. M. U. of Van Zandt coun-
ty will be held with the Canton
auxiliary January 29, 1925. Each
auxiliary in the county is urged to
have representatives at this meet-
ing. We are hoping to make this
the best year of our history in the
woman's work in this county. And
with every woman in the county
co-operating as only women can
this object will be attained. Fol-
lowing is the suggested program
for the day:
10 a. m. Devotional, Mrs. W. E.
Riley.
10:30 a. m. “The Mission of the
W. M. U. and How May We Keep
Our Women Interested,” Mrs. M.
K Thomas.
11 a. m. “How and Why Should
We Keep a Complete Record of
Our Work?” Mrs. O. W. Pitts.
11:30 a. m. “The Benefits Deriv-
ed from Observing the Week of
Prayer in Our Auxiliaries,” Mrs.
J. M. Brandon.
12 m. Lunch.
1:30 p. m. Devotional, Mrs. W.
H. Dunn.
2 p. m. “Are We Giving Person-
al Service Its Proper Place in Our
Work?” Mrs. B. B. Turner.
2:30 p. m. “The Importance of
Mission Study,” Mrs. Luce of
Grand Saline.
3 p. m. Reports from the various
auxiliaries.
Adjournment at will.
Again we are urging our women
over the county whether they are
members of some auxiliary or not
to be present at this meeting. A
happy welcome awaits you and all
of us will be blessed with this day’s
association in our Lord’s work.

some other disinfectant; place
about two inches of clean loose
sand in the bottom. On top of this
place enough straw excelsior for
a nest slightly rounded out in the
center. The hen will put the final
touch to it. The hen should be
dusted with ten to twelve pinches
of Sodium Floride to prevent lice,
then give a day or so to get settled
before .placing eggs under her. The
ien should be provided with plen-
ty clean fresh water, a plce for
exercise and a dust bath to wallow
in and fed whole grain.
The brood coop can be made
either A shape or square. In either
case the base should be two feet
square. The square coop should
be eighteen inches high in the
luck or two feet high in the front
with roof sloping to the north.
Other than the first year members
may use larger coops. The door
should be in front. It may be made
of slates and attached to the coop
with hinges and fastened securely
at the bottom; it should be cover-
ed with screen wire to keep rats
and other enemies from getting in,
also to keep baby chicks from get-
ing out early in the morning in the
wet grass. Have a floor for coop
to rest on.
The extension runs should be
two feet by five feet and two and
one half feet high, it should be
fastened to front of extension coop
so that the door of the coop opens
into the run; the frame should be
made by two by one and half lum-
ber; the sides, end and top’.should
be covered with one inch mesh
wire. An opening may be made in
top next to the brood coop.
The floor of the brood coop
should be covered with clean coarse
sand and finely digestable material;
cut alfalfa is good. Keep drinking
vessels clean; the hen should not
be let out of extension runs until
chicks are two weeks old.
Every girl and boy, as well as
men and women, should have some-
thing of his own. What greater
possessions could one have than a
setting of well selected standard
bred eggs. Any girl or woman is

the spring or summer. A chick de-
velops more rapidly the first four
weeks of its life than any other
period. Choose eggs for hatching
fiom birds which have been kept in
sanitary premises; has a supply of
green feed, such as sprouteel oats
or lettuce or cabbage, in addition
to the necessary amount of grain
and dry mash, the month before
the eggs are needed. There are
two methods of incubation: “Na-
tural or hen method,” “Artificial
or incubator method” The hen
method is the best for the first
year club members.
If it is decided to set one lien
and purchase one day old chicks
the chicks purchased should be car-
el for by the mother hen. Artifi-
cial incubation is used where one
wants to hatch chickens in large
numbers. General purpose breeds
are usually the best mothers.
The nests should be about four-
teen inches square and fourteen
inches high and located in a nice
quiet place and protected from

A charming young lady, aged
twenty, is suing the International-

500 damages, a scar on her leg
which prevents her wearing thin
hosiery being the basis of the suit.
She was formerly a student at
Sam Houston College, Huntsville,
and the scar is listed among in-
juries received when she stepped
from a train. She is denied the
pleasure of wearing thin stockings
because the scar is visible, which
causes her great embarrassment,
discomfoit, anxiety, pain and an
guish, she alleges. Cases like this
are always tried before a jury

Of course you will want to be up
curly on the morning of the 24th
inst. to observe the sun’s eclipse.
, It’s true, it won't be much of a
show in Van Zandt county, but it
wili be worth rising a little early.
Iliat is, if the weather is not
cioudy. Here the eclipse will be
about sixty per cent, while in
far northeastern port’on of the
United States it will be total, and
that’s where many of the sun,
moon and star gazers are going to
assemble for the purpose of taking
observations. They may be able
this time to determine definitely
al,out Mars, as well as sose of
our other neighboring planets.
Some seem to think the folks on
Mars have been signaling people
on this earth for a number of
years, trying to get us to talk back
to them, while others think it is all
a myth. At any rate, give it the
once over on the 24th; it may not
fcol you, but it is calculated to
demoralize the chickens.
The paragrapher who wrote the
fellowing definition of a "promo-

This is an annual affair, and the
News editor acknowledges an in-
24,000 pounds on four wheels and
a total of 36,000 pounds on six
wheels over any highway, according
to a bill Introduced at the morning
session of the senate by Senator
Thomas G. Bollard of Tyler. Vio-
letions would be made a misde-
meanor, punishable by a fine of
$200, with violation each day a
separate offense. Owners and oper-
tors of trucks and wagons are
made jointly responsible. The bill
also makes provision for horse-
drawn vehicles. For trucks the
weight is limited to 650 pounds on
any inch of channel base and on
wagons 500 pounds upon any inch
of metal tire. Cities and towns may
permit vehicles to carry beyond
the maximum fixed in the bill.
A bill also introduced by Sena-
tor Bollard by request, he said,
would require railroad companies
to place wires, bridges and viaducts
twenty-two feet from the tops of
their rails and place all loading
platforms six feet from the outside
rail.
A bill by Senator Davis would
fix the compensation of bailiffs of
petit, grand amt. other jurors at
$5 a day.

county having many flocks of good
