FORD CUTS PRICE OF FORDSONS LOCAL PASTOR LAID TO REST AT
NOON TODAY
Following is a radio message Mr.
Ford sent from his office to a meeting
of Ford dealers at Cleveland, Ohio:
‘It is certainly wonderful to sit
here in my office and say a few words
of greeting to you Ford dealers of the
Cleveland territory. The radio is an
outstanding tribute to man s inventive
genius. They say there is nothing
new under the sun, but we are con-
stantly inventing new things,, every
day bringing some big improvement
over the previous day’s methods.*
“Manufacturing operations have un-
• dergone some wonderful revolution-
ary changes during the past few years
—we are all familiar with the big im-
provements in transportation methods,

most backward in the acceptance or
adoption of the new and up-to-date
methods of doing things, and that is
the farming industry. Being a farmer,

With last week's issue the San Pa-
tricio County News finished it’s thir-
teenth year. In all this time nc£ one
issue has been missed.
The present management has had pj-ovements, and with this in mind, I
charge of the paper for nearly ten
years of that time. We -wish to thank
the people of Sinton and surrounding
territory for standing by us. We ap-
preciate your support. Times are
changing constantly. Some years
have been good years and some have
been bad—that is from a financial
standpoint. From the standpoint of
friendship, all have been good years,
and that is what counts most. Our
friends have been loyal, and we have
tried to be loyal to our friends. Some
years we have made a little money.
Some years we have lost a little
money. Through it all we have en-
deavored to give Sinton the best
newspaper we possibly could. When
we have made money, we have turned
it right back Into the business, in the
form of a new building, equipment
have spent years of time and millions
in money , in the development of the
Fordson Tractor, which I rteally think
is one of the biggest possible helps
to profitable farming.
“As a general thing, the farmers
have bettered their financial con-
dition during the past eighteen
months, but the production costs of
farm products are still too tdose to
selling prices to allow fair margins of
profit. What the farmer must-do to
put his business on a paying basis, is
to lower the cost of planting, and har-
vesting of his crops. This alone will
increase his profits, and with this
thought in mind it has been our con-
stant aim to lower the price* of the
Fordson so that every farmal in the
land could afford to own one. It is a
pleasure, therefore, to announce
aind the like. We are going to strive through you Ford Dealers that we

Surrounded by. friends and loved'
one$, many of whom had come from
long distance, the remains of Rev. A.
L. Scarborough, Presiding Elder of
the Cuerp District of the Soythivest
Texas- Conference of the. Methodist
'Church; were laid to rest in the Hill-
side Cemetery, today shortly after
12 o’clock. •
Two. beautiful services were held
in liis memory, a short one at the
home attended only by members of
his family and very close friends
followed by a service at the Metho-
dist church, held at 11 o’clock.
Many beautiful flowers sent, as a
tribute to his memory and a token of
sympathy to the bereaved family

service. .
( The • choir, assisted by friends of
Air. Scarborough, rendered a special
song , service. .
Rev. Hawk, Presiding Elder of the
Austin District, conducted the service
at the church, which was opened by
scripture readings by Rev. Gaston
Hartsfield, of San Marcos, and Rev.
Barr of Yoakum.
Before turning the service over to
Rev. Sterling Fischer of Austin, who
made the major address, Mr. Hawk,
took the opportunity to express his
love and appreciation of Mr. Scar-
borough.
“The life of a man of Brother Scar-
borough’s calibre is its own* eulogy.
It was never necessary for him to an-
nounce that he was a follower of
God, it was written on his face. To
such a man death is a victory and not
a defeat, and though we have lost a
friend and brother here, he has been
called to serve another 1 beacon light
to guide us on our climb to the
heights,” are a few points in Mr.
Hawk’s talk.
Rev, Fischer, one of Rev. Scar-
Airs. J. W. Vermillion; wife of Dr.
J. W. Vermillion of Sinton, Texas,
died late Wednesday night at the
home of ,her daughter, Mrs. G. L:
Hutchinson., 467 Washington street,
this city. Airs, Vermillion was aged
fifty years and was one of the pioneer
residents Of thi^ city. She was here
on a visit when she was taken* ill.
She was the daughter of the late S.

J. L. HAMILTON > Sinton, Texas
to give the chief address.
“Though I could speak with the
tongue of angels it would be difficult
to express my love and appreciation
for the dear ohe who has just been
taken fronf us. The thousand beau-
tiful thoughts, the thousand tender
memories that fill my heart and mind
could not carry you a message of
his real worth.
“Since his first entrance into the
Methodist Conference. 30 years ago
we have been associated closely to-
gether. He has. been in my home in
my tipaes of joy, and > helped me
through my greatest sorrows.
“He was a friend in whose presence
you could think out loud. Tender and
solicitous of the happiness of others,
he was a man who above all others
I reverence, and admire and love.
And though, perhaps it was my honor
to know him better and be associated
with him more closely than many
others besides his wife and children,
the love and reverence, and admira-
tion that I feel for him was universal
wherever he was known.
“It was after he had told me the
story of his early life that I came to
more fully appreciate his real worth.
“Left an orphan at an early age,
in a neighboring state, he found him-
self in a community in which he
could find neither love .. nor understand-
ing nor sympathy. At last things grew
unbearable, and with only enough
money to reach Texas, he came to
this state in search of a man that
had formerly lived in that communi-
ty, and whose name he had hedrd
mentioned but who he did not know.”
The story of his struggle after he
reached this state, and how he was
converted to Christianity and became
an ardent church- worker in the com-
munity in which he lived, his change
of churches, and final resolve to be-
come a minister, and his further ef-
forts to secure an education, were
beautifully and touchingly told, by.
Rev. Fischer.
“The first ray of real happiness and
joy was brought into his life by his
wife, when he first tasted the Joy of
youth through his children, having
never known the simple pleasures of
childhood himself, he has often, re-
marked,” declared Rev. Fischer.
"His outstanding virtue and charac-
teristic was sincerity. He wtis earnest
and faithful in all that he undertook.
His going has left us grief stricken
and bewildered, but we must try and
remember that for. him ail troubles
are over, and that he has gone on to
the goal for which we are all striving.”
As. a beautiful conclusion to his
talk Rev. Fischer read Tennyson's
poem, “Crossing the Bar.”
Just before the' address made by
Rev. Fischer; ten minutes were spent
in short talks of appreciation by pas-
tors who-had; served under Rev. Scar-
borough, and o$ier persons who had
known and loved him. The tributes
paid by these speakers were touching
evidences of tihe love and esteem with
which he wasr regarded by ali.
A beautiful prayer was said by Rev.
see how little they value our presence.
This city is growing at a rapid rate,
and why should it not, when the
name “California” will not banish it-
self from the middle west or eastern
man or woman until they have found
themselves dodging the cars of the
Motorists’ Paradise.
- Somehow since our departure from
your little berg, the town and its peo-
ple are holding an unusual prestige
over us. We know the reason, but
too stubborn to admit it.

Queer Things
The sun shines right straignt down.
’Tis dark as it can be.
The wind blows ’round and ’round,
And stones float on the sea.
The trees grow up-side-down,'
The cats and dogs can talk,
;Oysters chirp like little birds
And fishes learn to walk.
Now, all of this seems very queer,
But stranger still to me.
Is, what is ailing James?
Whatever can it be? -
It may be Lorene or Ruth,
Or, perhaps it’s Olga May.

comprehensive and comprehensible,

The inspired ones are fewer.
Whence their emanation, where and
how they got their power, by what
rule they lived, moved, and had their

from shadow and they .went in mist.
We see them, feel them, but we know
them not. They came, God’s word up-
on their lips; they did their office,
God’s mantle about them; and they
vanished, God’s memory, half mortal
and half myth. From first to last they
were the creations of some special
Providence, baffling the wit of man to
fathom; defeating the machinations of
the world, the flesh and the devil, un-
til their work was doneT then passing
from the scene as mysteriously as they
had come upon it.
Tried by this standard, where shall
we’ find an example so impressive as
Abraham Lincoln? Born as iowly as
the Son of God, in a hovel; reared in
penury, squalor," with no gleam of
light or fair surrounding; without
graces, actual or acquired; without
name or fame or official training; it
was reserved for this strange being,
late in life, to be snatched from ob-
scurity, raised to supreme command
at a supreme moment, and intrusted
with the destiny of a nation.
The great leaders of his party, the
most experienced and accomplished
public man of the day, were made to
stand aside, were sent to the rear*
whilst this fantastic figure was led by
unseen hands to the front and given
the reins of power. It is immaterial
whether we are for him or against
him; wholly immaterial. That during
four years, carrying with them such a
weight of responsibility as the world
never witnessed before, he filled the
vast space allotted him in the eyes
and actions of mankind, is to say that
he was inspired of, God, for nowhere
else could he have acquired the wis-
dom and the virtue, *
