Contrary to past policies, announce-
ment is made by T. K. Hubby, state
game, fish and oyster commissioner,
that he will release fish raised in
state hatcheries in public waters. In
the past fish were only released by
private ponds, tanks and club lakes,
it was stated. The position is taken
by Commissioner Hubby that these
fish are raised with public money and
the public should benefit. “These
fish are owned by the people of Tex-
as,” said Commissioner Hubby, “and
it is proper that they be placed where
all the people have an equal chance to
enjoy them.

Buick is More Expensively Built
But it Costs Less
to Buy one
Buick is built more expensively
than any other cars in or near tb
Buick price class.
“Expensively built” means that
the different parts and units of the
Buick motor car are the best that
engineers can design. But, thanks
to the large volume which public
demand has given to Buick, and
thanks also to production methods
that are models of efficiency in an
efficient industry, the Buick motor
car can be sold to you at a very
moderate price.
Many Buick features are duplicated
only in America’s highest priced
motor cars.
Buick, for instance, uses theTorque
Tube Drive to transmit the drive
of the rear wheels to the chassis,
instead of burdening the rear
springs with this added duty. The
* highest priced car in America use*
the torque tube. And so dors Buick!
The American public wants finer
transportation and Buick provides
it at lower cost. Consequently
Buick is a very popular car *. Come
in and examine the Better Buicks.
