pickles, relishes and tomatoes which
she raised herself. They were entered
in the contest of girls home demon-
stration clubs in the entire county on
rally day, Friday, July 13 at LeTulle

legeport girls club and has helped
her mother with the family canning
well as putting up a 100 containers

Adams in the canning contest is Ber-

Chevrolet Sales
Break Records
DETROIT, July 17.—Chevrolet's rec-
ord-breaking sales continued their ad-
vance in June, shattering all month-
ly records since May, 1931, and ach-
ieving the highest June total since
1929, officials of the Chevrolet Motor
Company announced today. Retail
sales for the month, as compiled from
dealers' reports, were the basis of the
announcement.
The showing is considered especial-
ly notable in light of experts' predic-
tions that automotive volume in gen-
eral would fall off some 12 per cent
during June. instead of receding,
Chevrolet sales showed a gain of
more than 12 per cent. Dealers credit
Chevrolett’s new low prices, which
took effect June 2, with upsetting the
prediction so far as Chevrolet is con-
cerned, and paving the way for this
substantial increase.
From an English football report:
"One of the players raced up the field
with the goal at his mercy, but lost
his head and kicked it across the
field.”
