SIX CYMNBIR CHIVROiETS
on the road m less them eiqkt months /
Less than eight srnmths have elapsed since
the first Chevrolet Six was delivered into
the hands of an owner—-and already
there are more than a million six-cylin-
der Chevroleis on the road! And the
reasons for this overwhelming success
are easy to understand.
Into a price field that had hitherto been
occupied exclusively by four-
cylinder cars—Chevrolet has
introduced a six-cylinder car
of amazing quality and value.
Not only does it offer the
smooth, quiet, velvety per-
formance of a great sk-cySin-
der valve-iii-head motor-
hut, from every standpoint, it
is a finer automobile than
was ever before thought pos-
sible at such low prices! Its

beautiful new bodies—which are avail-
able in a variety of colors—represent
one of Fisher’s greatest style triumphs.
And its safety and handling ease are so
outstanding that it’s a sheer delight to
sit at the wheel and drive. In fact, the
new Chevrolet Sk has completely chang-
ed every previous idea as to what the
buyer of a low-priced car
now has a right to expect for
his money.
You owe it to yourself, as a
careful buyer, to see and
drive this car. For it gives
you every advantage of a
fine six-cylinder automobile
—in the price range of the
four and with economy of
better than 20 miles to the
gallon! Come in today!

SIX IN THE PRICE RANGE OF THE FOUR
STATEMENTS OF CURATIVE
VALUE OF DRUGS MUST BE
PROVEN, COURT RULES
Washington, August 13.—A deci-
sion of far-reaching importance to
the manufacturers of all products
that directly' or indirectly claim a
curative value whether taken extern-
ally or internally has been rendered
in the federal courts and officials of
the department of agriculture state
that it will affect the character of
labels whereby such products here-
after are sold to the public.
Even though the proprietor or ship-
per does not make any direct state-
ment in the label, wrapper or attend-
ing circulars as to the curative or
therapeutic value of the preparation,
declares the Circuit Court of Appeals
for the Ninth Circuit, the use of doc-
tors’ testimonials when the prepara-
tion is not capable of producing the
effect claimed, amounts to a violation
of the food and drug act.
“If the drugs are worthless,” the
court says, “the proprietors can not
escape responsibility by hiding be-
hind the phrase ‘the doctors say.’ ”
\ Nowhere in the label or wrap-
I pers or circular did the proprietor in
the case make any direct statement
himself as to curative value, merely
declaring, “We have received many
letters from physicians reporting.”
Then there were given statements
from physicians who testified as to
the accuracy of those reports and it
was contended that this was a com-
plete defense, whatever might be the
character of the drugs.
The big point decided by the court
is that any statement as to curative
value, whether direct or indirect must
be proved. Now the case will be re-
manded in all probability in the low-
er courts for trial again on its mer-
its to determine whether the ingredi-
ents in the compound are capable of
producing the cure claimed for it.
This means that hereafter it will
be possible for officials of the gov-
ernment to declare that a product is
misbranded and to institute prosecu-
tion if they are advised by their own
medical experts that there are sub-
stantial grounds for the belief that
the articles will not cure as claimed.
ALLRED TO SEEK
HIGH STATE POST
Granbury, August 13.—Jimmie All-
red, Wichita Falls attorney, who
lacked only 4,000 votes of being nomi-
nated attorney general in 1926, will
be a candidate for the office again in
1930, he stated here tonight. Allred,
who was the speaker of the evening
on the first night of the Old Soldiers’
and Settlers’ reunion, made no form-
al announcement of his candiidacy,
but spoke as follows:
“Many of my friends here in Hood
county and over the state generally
have asked me whether I am going
to be a candidate for attorney gener-
al next year. It seems to me that
an announcement for office at this
time is premature; but in apprecia-
tion of the interest of the more than
356,000 of my friends who supported
me three years ago, and in justice to
the people of Texas, I desire to say
that I will be a candidate for attor-
ney general of Texas in 1930, and
will make a formal announcement at
the proper time. I so stated when
I congratulated General Claude Pol-
lard upon his victory over me at the
San Antonio convention in 1926; and
I renewed that statement last year,
when, in deference to the time-hon-
ored democratic custom of a second
term for public officers, I withdrew
as his opponent after my friends in
Young county had done me the hon-
or to place my name upon the bal-
lot.”
Allred made no further reference
to his candidacy in his address, and
spoke entirely along non-political
lines.
STATE SWIMMING POOL
CONFERENCE IS CALLED
Austin, August 13.—A statewide
conference of operators and managers
of swimming pools has been called
for Saturday in Austin by A. J. Eilers,
general chairman. It is to be a “con-
ference for promoting hygiene, pub-
lic baths and recreation.”
An elaborate program has been ar-
ranged, in which all phases of this
work will be discussed. Authorities in
this line will deliver addresses.
Austin will supply a great number
of the speakers for the program, but
those coming from other towns in-
clude A. B. Rogers, San Marcos; Dr.
H. K. Read and Miss Corinne Fonde
of Houston; R. D. Evans, Dr. A. H.
Flickwir and L. L. Munchester of Ft.
Worth; Miss Mildred Goff of Taylor,
and David Morey, Jr., of Dallas,
* Ever Stop To Think? *

(Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla.)
That it takes more than good wish-
es to bring new industries to a city.
That a city can’t live in the past
and build for the future.
That it requires much to bring the
things that mean prosperity to a city.
That it means that all the people
must enthusiastically get behind
every enterprise.
That they must put forth success-
ful efforts to get everything required.
That they must take a personal in-
terest, sometimes a financial interest,
and always an unquenchable boosting
interest.
That no one is foolish enough to
contend that new industries do not
make a city more prosperous.
That wishing, hoping, praying and
dreaming do not bring better business
to a city, nor do they bring new in-
dustries; it is the doing of things that
counts.
If a city wants increased popula-
tion, if they want more industrial in-
stitutions, if they want the business
increase and activity that go with a
larger city, if they want the natural
rise in real estate growth that attends
the growth of a city, it is squarely
up to all the people to get busy and
stay busy until they get them—then
go after more of them.
TREES PRODUCE
SUGAR AND LARD
Chicago, August 12.—Trees which
produce sugar and lard, plants which
yield potions for treating disease
and poison which kills all the fish in
a body of water without spoiling their
edibility are among the discoveries
reported to the Field Museum today
by Llewellyn Williams, leader of a
botannical expedition to the Amazon.
“The palo de asugar, or ‘sugar
tree,’ ” Mr. Williams said in his re-
port, mailed after a trip 325 miles
into the dense wilderness of the
Nanay region, “contains in its bark a
sweet edible resin with the con sist-
ency of real sugar. The Palo de
aceite, or ‘lard tree,” excretes an oily
substance which, in appearance, taste,
consistency and other properties is
a close affinity to the lard rendered
from animal fats.”
Telling of the remarkable num-
ber of medical plants growing in the
Brazilian forests, Mr. Williams wrote
that the Indian natives had a
wealth of knowledge of their uses.
They have developed specific remedies
from the plants for treating rheuma-
tism, nervous disorders, tumors, de-
bility, anemia and other maladies, he
found.
“They also have developed fish
poisons which, thrown on the surface
of the water, kill all the fish in the
vicinity and make the obtaining of
a fish dinner easy,” according to the
scientist. “The poisoned fish do not
harm the human consumer, but often
animals die from drinking the con-
taminated water.”
Severe hardships were suffered by
the exploring “party, Mr. Williams
revealed. A swarm of vicious ants
attacked them one time when they
were sawing the trunk of a rare tree,
stinging the men from head to foot.
On another occasion, vampire bats
attacked them while they slept and,
without causing any pain to wake
them, sucked considerable blood, leav-
ing the victims greatly weakened. In
many places the tangled tropical
vegetation was so thick that paths
had to be cut with knives.
ALLIES TO LEAVE
GERMAN TERRITORY
The Hague, August 13.—Complete
evacuation of the Rhineland before
Christmas was today practically de-
cided upon at a meeting of the prin-
cipal delegates of Germany, Great
Britain, France and Belgium to the
Hague reparations conference.
Foreign Minister Gustav Strese-
mann of Germany announced on leav-
ing the meeting “we are much near-
er a final settlement.”
The British delegation stated the
date for complete evacuation would
be given out after Premier Briand of
France had had an opportunity to con-
sult his military advisers.
Since only the date for completion
of the evacuation is in question, it
is assumed the date for beginning
evacuation has already been decided
The evacuation is expected to be-
gin not later than September 1.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Brown Ross and
little daughter, Ella Katherine, left
Wednesday evening for their home at
Sonora. Mrs. Ross and baby have
been visiting for the past several
weeks in the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Briggs and Mr.
Ross came for them Wednesday.
Mrs. W. G. Gamel and son, James,
and daughter, Mrs. Carl Savage and
little son, Carl, Jr., of Houston, left
Wednesday for a visit with relatives
and friends in Cooledge.

DRUGGIST SHOT BY TRAP
GUN SET FOR THIEVES
Troup, August 13.—When burglars
had raided John Robinson’s store
at Golden, Van Zandt County, sev-
eral times, Robison devised a trap on
his store cash register, so “trig-
gered” that if the register was open-
ed a 22-caliber rifle, aimed in front
of the register, would be discharged.
Next morning Robison, forgetting
about the trap, opened his cash reg-
ister. The trap worked—the bullet
struck him in the hip. He will recover
his physician said.
GERMAN, 91, WITH
MONEY TO MARRY ON,
WILL CLxlIM BRIDE
Los Angeles, August 13.—Seventy-
four years ago, as the first winds of
winter whined through the little Ger-
man town of Kanshen on the Rhine,
Jacob Schwartz kissed the upturned
lips of a girl and promised to return
and marry her when he had made a
“nest egg” in America.
Through a span of more than an
ordinary man’s life Schwarts work-
ed to win the small fortune promised
him in his dreams of a land of gold-
en opportunity. The passing years
wrought changes. The world be-
came different—a new world. Only
one thing remained constant and un-
changeable—Schwartz’s love for Fre-
da Schmidt.
Today he is at sea on the liner Los
Angeles, returning to keep his prom-
ise to Freda Schrnidt .
Autumn will be tinting the leaves
in Kanshein on the Rhine when the
lovers meet again—just as the winter
of life has whitened and withered
young and handsome Jacob Sch. 'artz
and laughing, pretty Freda Schmidt
since the good-bye kiss 74 years ago.
Schwartz now is 91 years of : ge.
His bride-to-be is 90.
“Feel old? I’m as spry as a young-
ster and just as anxious to gee mar-
ried,” Schwartz declared just before
the liner steamed from Los Angeles.
“My Freda has waited all these years
for me, and now that I have ac-
cumulated the little ‘nest egg,’ we are
going to settle down together for the
remainder of life.'”
Mr. and Mrs. James Shipley and
baby of Wichita Falls arrived Wed-
nesday for a visit here in the home
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will
Spittler.
