A Still Greater'Value
Never before has a Ford Sedan been
sold at such a low price.
Never before has there been such a
well-built Ford Sedan—improved with
finer" upholstery, window regulators,
and with many refinements in chassis
construction.
This is the family car which fully
meets every requirement of economy,
comfort and sturdy service.
So great is the demand that deliveries
will soon be almost impossible. List
your order now, make a small down
payment, the balance on easy terms.
Ford prices have never been so low
Ford quality has never been so high

FALSE STATEMENT BILL IS
PASSED AFTER CHANGE
Austin, Texas, March 5.—The
Thrasher bill, making it an offense to
make false statements in writing for
the purpose of obtaining credit, was
finally passed after an amendment to
require that the false statements be
actually made by the person and not
by some other person respecting his
credit. The statute is so drawn that
the penalty ranges from $1 to a prison
sentence. Proponents of the bill de-
clare it is needed to reach fraudulent
merchandisers who secure stocks of
goods upon false business statements,
dispose of stocks at cut prices and
leave the state.

ATTENTION ,FARMERS
Austin, Tex., Feb. 27, 1923.
Publication of the following is re-
spectfully requested:
The State Department of Labor has
submitted to the Farm Bloc a plan
to assist in bringing about a better
distribution of laborers, especially
during cotton chopping and picking
time, and grain harvest periods. This
Department proposes to act 'as a
clearing house for such, distribution,
and it desires to get in immediate
touch with some active person in ev-
ery farming district. This person to
take charge of the matter of regis-
tering with the State Department of
Labor the approximate number of la-
borers that community will need to
chop or pick cotton, or harvest the
grain crop.
I am requesting that especially the
farm organizations of my district
communicate with Joseph S. Myers,
Commissioner of Labor, Austin, Tex.,
and learn from him further details of
the proposed plan, and give his De-
partment full co-operation to the end
that when the farmers of my district
need laborers same will be furnished
them. This official would like to have
selected a reliable and active person
in as many farming communities as
possible with whom he can carry into
effect the plans he has in mind.
The Farm Bloc of the 38th Legis-
lature has carefully investigated this
matter, and heartily endorses the
plan.
Respectfully,
JAMES FINLAY,
Representative 93 District.
County Attorney C. P. Shepperd

A PETITION
Dr. J. V. Brown, who was in Lam-
pasas Wednesday in the interest of
the summer school, Camp Marlamont,
a branch of the San Marcos Baptist
Academy, left Thursday morning for
Austin. A petition was formulated
setting forth the advantages of this
summer school and asking the State
Superintendent of Education to grant
the school such credits or recognition
it merits, and proposing to supple-
ment Dr. Brown’s equipment from
the high school equipment so as to
furnish required laboratory work and
make it adequate and efficient. This
petition will be sent to Mr. Marrs,
and it is requested that all who are
interested in having Camp j Marla-
mont Summer School in Lampasas
again this summer sign this petition,
which will be found at Key Bros, store.
Both men and women are requested to
sign the petition.
The Camp Marlamont summer
school has been one of the most worth
while activities that has been in An-
derson Park for the past two sum-
mers and it will be a distinctive loss
to the town if we should fail to come
up to the requirements in furnishing
laboratory and other equipment, suf-
ficient to meet the requirements of
schools that have affiliation. It is
probable that the State Superintend-
ent will grant the request, but the
people of Lampasas do not want to
leave any stone unturned to be assur-
ed of the matter.
Jack White left Tuesday night for
Fort Worth, where he goes to attend
the big Fat Stock Show.

FRIEND WIFE COUNTERS
He was fond of playing silly jokes
on his wife, and this time he thought
he had a winner. “My dear,” he
said as they sat at dinner, “I heard
such a sad story of a young girl to-
day. They thought she was going
blind and so a surgeon operated on
her and found—”
“Yes,” gasped the wife, breathless-
ly-
“That she had a young man in her
eye,” ended the husband with a
chuekle.
For a moment there was silence.
Then the woman remarked, slowly:
“Well, it would depend on what sort
of a man he was. Some of them she
could see through easily enough.”
A large number of high school stu-
dents left Friday morning for Belton,
whei’e they will familiarize themselves
with college life at Baylor until Sun-
day evening. A students’ conference
is being held at the college and the
young ladies are entertained free dur-
ing the conference. Those leaving on
the train were: Misses Ray Taylor,
Louella Glover, Neda Witcher, Alene
Northington, Jessie Fuller, Flora
Smith, Annie Lois Alexander, Dimple
Fox, Theresa Clements.
many accidents have resulted, some
fatal, because the help or advice of an
electrician was not asked.
Following is a list of “don’ts” ad-
vocated by power companies as pre-
ventives :
Never pick up a wire lying on the
ground or dangling from a pole. It
might be “alive.” Report fallen wires
immediately to the police or power
company. Never string wireless aeri-
als over or under any other wires.
Never attach radio aerials or anything
else to poles carrying wires of any
sort. ' Always- attach aerials to sub-
stantial supports, so located that if
either the support or aerial breaks it
cannot come in contact with other
wires. It is quite practical to operate
a radio set with an indoor aerial. Do
not use kite aerials. Do not attach
antennae to chimneys. Somone might
be down below when the bricks start
falling.

jOur every pro-
fessional act is

manner. Our ex-
perienced meth-
ods and the just-
ness of our busi-
ness conduct are
above criticism.
WIRELESS OUTFITS SHOULD
BE PLACED WITH CARE
Dallas, Texas, March 6.—Safety en-
gineers who have made a comprehen-
sive study of radio hazards agree that
iwfkiEe' and child may be able to oper-
ate a radio outfit, it takes an experi-
enced electrician to install one free
from fire and other hazards. Many
accidents have been prevented by the
prompt action of electric power com-
panies who made surveys of their
properties, eliminating aerials in close
proximity to live lines, and gave
warnings and information to the pub-
Ue-
. Radio is still being developed and
as. .in nearly every field of activity,
mistakes and accidents occur during
pioneer work. A wave of radio in-
stallation has swept the country and
