Austin, Sept. 21.—The legislature
late Monday enacted a cotton
acreage reduction bill, designed
to effect a 50 per cent curtail-
ment in the cotton plantings in
1932 and 1933.
Each farmer would be prohibit-
ed from planting to cotton next
year more than 30 per cent of the
land he cultivate in all crops
this year. The same percentage
basis would apply in 1933 with the
additional provision that no 1932
cotton land could be planted to
cotton in 1933. After 1933 there
would be no percentage limit but
no land could be planted to cot-
ton in successive years.

“Why
there is being spread the rumf turoughout the
North Texas section that Attorney General James
V. Allred, now serving his first term, may be a
candidate for governor next year. Coupled with the
rumor is the announcement that the present gov-
ernor, now serving his first term, will likely not
offer for a second term. As a certain man by the
name of Al Smith opce said, "much water will
run over the dam" before final decisions are reach-
ed. Which reminds us that a poll tax will come in
handy next year, locally, state and nation.

A Dallas man is suing for a divorce on the

The Texas Highway Commission consumed the
first three days of this week in letting approxi-
mately $5,000,000 of road work in Texas, two of the
projects being in Van Zandt county. That amount
of work is going to provide jobs for a lot of folks,
at pretty fair wages, who will be able to pull
through Christmas as usual. .

“My Ford was purchased May 8, 1928, and has been run 121,767
miles. It has never stopped on the road for repairs of any kind what-
soever except punctures.
The brakes were relined at 101,000 miles. My gas mileage aver-
aged 21 miles to the gallon, and on tires, 19,000 miles per tire. I travel
over all kinds of road conditions—mountainous and flat.
“I consider this a wonderful record and I assure you my next car
will also be a Ford.”
This is just one of many tributes to the reliability and
long life of the Ford. A Ford owner in Iowa tells of driving
his Ford 73,000 miles in a single year. Another writes of
120,000 miles of good service.
Think ahead when you are considering the purchase of
an automobile and consider what it will be like after thou-
sands of miles of driving. Will you still be satisfied? Will
you still say “it’s a great car”?
If it’s a Ford, you know everything will be O. K. It will
be taking you there and back in good style, just as it has
always done. And you will have saved many important*
worth-while dollars in cost of operation and up-keep and
low yearly depreciation.

My wife wouldn’t so much mind having 'my rel-
atives visit us if she thought of what UTI ate
mere’ as so much food, but she thinks of It in
terms of clothing for herself. When my sister Mary
was here my wife was constantly talking about a
fall coat that was disappearing. "She is eating the
coat I planned to get this year," my wife said,
"and if she stays much longer I won’t be able to
get a hat." Well Mary finally left and then my
sister Anna came. “Mary ate my coat and hat,”
my wife said, “and now Anna has come’ to eat up
the rest of my fall clothes.” Then, by the way of
being cheerful, she added, “I guess it doesn’t make
any difference because after waiting on your rel-
atives all summer I’ll be so worn out that I won’t
feel like going out anywhere, anyway."

When you buy a Ford there arc two things you never have
to worry about. One is reliability. The other is long life.

New York has three less gangsters since one
day last week. It was a "spot" killing, performed
by rivals benefitting themselves no doubt by the
riddance and at the same time rendering the coun-

Two Grand Champion ribbons
were awarded to Miss Odessa
Winn of the Morince home demon-
stration club by the East Texas
Fair at Tyler last week. These
awards were given to her for ex-
hibiting the best Rhode Island
Red cockerel and the best Rhode
Island pullet in a class of sixty
birds.
Miss Winn has been breeding
Rhode Nsland Reds for four;
years. Each season she carefully
selected standard type and color I
to be used in the breeding pens. I
She has kept no birds on the form
but the highest producers and
those possessing the standard
qualifications of pure bred Rhode
Island Reds.
Miss Winn is lo be congratu-
lated for having the ability to
develop one of the finest farm
flocks in Van Zandt county. She
is a fourth year 4-H club girl.
Names of parties traveling by
automobile who happened to _n
accident a few nights ago on the
Dixie Highway just west of Can-
ton were not learned. It was
some time after midnight that
the driver of the car passed
through an open gateway, in the
western city limits of Canton, ac-
cording to information received,
and a short distance further on
leading directly toward Myrtle
Springs the car leaped into a
ditch where there was formerly
a bridge. Three wheels of the car
were broken and some of the oc-
cupants slightly injured. The road
was closed to through traffic some
time ago, owing to the work under
way between Wills Point and Can-
ton, a gate being placed across
the road to bar vehicles. It is
now understood that the gate is
closed and securely so by nall-
