A feature of the. Light's Golden
Jubilee session of the Texas State Fair
—so designated in honor of Thomas A.
Edison—is the largest electric lamp
in the world.
Named Big Tom in honor of Mr,
Edison, the lamp has a current capac-
ity of 50 kilowatts, a volume equal to
the consumption of a good-sized city.
Big Tom, which hangs above the
gorgeous Grove of Jewels, is of nearly
twice the capacity of the 30 kw. lamps
used in the moving picture industry
to illuminate large areas for photo
graphic purposes at night, and at
hourly intervals makes the entire Fair
Park area as bright as daylight.
Nearly 50,000 electric lights in gold,
pearl, ruby, emerald and sapphire are
used in the Fair display, which is the
contribution of the eltctrical interests
of Dallas and Texas, and the illumin-
ation will make night sessions of the
Fair of unusual attractiveness.

Malone, N. Y. Oct. 15.—Arthur
Plante, a Canadian, who has resided in
the United States for nearly 30 years,
is preparing to spend the winter in his
wodshed, because that part of the resi-
dence,'just north of Malone, which he
purchased recently, is in Canada.
The dwelling, attached to the wood-
shed, is in United States territory, and
Plante is prevented by United States
immigration authorities from again
entering this country.
Plante is now busy making the
woodshed weatherproof for the winter.

CHEVROLET SIX
—the Car of Universal Appeal!
SINCE January 1st, over a million one hundred and
thirty-five thousand six-cylinder Chevrolets have
been produced. Naturally, this is an outstanding
Industrial achievement. But it is more than that. It
is a great public endorsement of Chevrolet's policy of
progress: to build a quality automobile whose design
incorporates every possible feature of progressive
engineering ... whose beauty is distinctive, smart and
satisfying . . . whose reliability is assured by fine
materials and precision manufacture . . . and whose
price is so low as to be within reach of the great
majority of the people. We want you to know what
this policy has meant in the development of the Chev-
rolet Six—the modern car of universal appeal. We
want you to know that Chevrolet has brought within
the reach of everybody, everywhere, all the advantages
of smooth, six-cylinder performance. Come in today!
While rail-air combinations have re-
duced the time required by trans-con-
tiinental journeys to 48 hours, devel-

When the Hudson rural school dis-
trict was recently organized through
consolidating five smaller districts in
Angelina County, it needed a passen-
ger truck to carry the children to and
from school. It gave a Lufkin wagon
company contract for building the
body and the Lufkin News pronounces
it the last word in convenience in the
way ot transportation. It carries 50
children comfortably and safely. Or-
ders from other school districts have
come to the Lufkin factory as a re-
sult of the excellence of its first effort
along that line.
Detroit, Oct. 15.—The Chevrolet Mo-
tor Company announnced here today
that more than 1,200,000 of the new
six cylinder Chevrolet cars have been
placed on the road since the first of
the year.
This achievement accomplished in
little over nine months, is three times
the beBt showing of any other manu-
facturer of six cylinder cars in a calen-
dar year and tops Chevrolet's record
total for the entire year of 1928.
It is now certain that six cylinder
production will set a world record this
year, surpassing for the first time in
the history of the industry the outupt
of four cylinder cars. This leadership
of the sixes will come about chiefly
because of Chevrolet's record showing
this year.
Chevrolet factory officials declare
that the dominating reason back of the
leadership of the six is the public pref-
erence for the advantages which this
type of construction affords. They
point out too that the influence of
great volume production, which has
enabled the industry to get six cylin-
der prices down to the lowest on record
and has made it possible for Chevrolet
through maximum volume to offer six
cylinder performance at a price that
formerly bought only a four.
With a new yearly record already
assured, Chevrolet factories are con-
tinuing on the biggest Fall production
program ever undertaken by the com-
pany. Nine assembly plants and seven
large manufacturing plant3 are facing
the busiest final quarter that Chevro-
let has ever known.
The heavy Fall factory program wa»
made necessary, it was explained, to
bring production up to the level of the
demand and make possible quicker de-
liveries to owners.
TEXAS CONSUMES ONLY
TWENTY-SIXTH OF DAILY

With about 1,400 active wells, gas
consumption in Texas averages about
500 million cubic feet a day, accord-
ing to the Gas Utilities Department of
the Texas Railroad Commission. The
daily average open flow was estimated
in May at 13 billion cubic feet, show-
ing limitless possibilities for future
expansion of gas uses and users.

The perishability of Texas grown
figs under shipping conditions has
been a serious obstacle in the devel-
opment of that industry. The Texas
City cannery, which has been success-
fully shipping frozen strawberries'and
other fruits, is now shipping frozen
figs, and expects to ship its first car-
load to New York in the present sea-
son. By the process the figs are wash-
ed and skinned and then subjected to
sub-zero temperatures, rendering them
hard and impervious to bruising. It is
claimed in that state they keep their
flavor for an indefinite time.
One of the largest fertilizer plants
west of the Mississippi River is to be
established at Texarkana by the In-
ternational Agricultural Association,
the twenty-seventh unit in that com-
pany's chain. The plant will cost $750,-
000 when completed. The company
owns-large phosphate rock mines in
Florida and Tennessee and also owns
and operates tankage plants, cotton
seed oil mills, a fleet of tank cars and
its own railroad and is interested in
German potash mines, according to
an Associated Press dispatch.
Gasoline taxes in 1928 were $305,-
234,000, 18 per cent more than in 1927
and about 700 per cent more than in
1923. In 1929, with many states (in-
cluding Texas) raising the rate, the
total is cxpected to roach or pass $400,-
000,000. Twenty-one states levy 4c
a gallon or more and one state levies
6 cents a gallon.
Work began in September on the
$150,000 creamery and poultry plant
which Swift & Co. are building at Par-
is. The plant is to be in operation by
Jan. 1 next. The creamery will have a
capacity of 50,000 pounds of butter
weekly ar.d the poultryplant, where
poultry will be fed, killed, dressed,
graded and packed for shipment, can
take re re of 15,000 head of poultry.
The new army airport at San An-
tonio, designed to be the aviation
West Point, will represent an initial
investment of about $14,000,000 and
a probable ultimate outlay of around
$50,000,000. It includes 800 buildings
for housing the 2,2000 officers and men
and their families. When completed
250 planes can land or take off simul-
taneously and more than 300 planes
will be used for training the cadets of
the flying school to be established
there.
The Dairy Products Co. at Kings-
ville, which began busniess in 1913
when there weren't sufficient cows to
warrant and which, as a result, had
"hard sledding" for several years, is
building a $40,000 plant at Alice, ad-
ditional facilities being necessary to
take care of a constantly growing
b',i iness. An unusual feature is that
the company, after taking out 8 per
cent on invested capital, distributes the
profits monthly to the dairymen sup-
plying it with cream.
