He is a person whu guing
to carry on what you have
started.
He is to sit right where you
are sitting and attend to those
things you think are impor-
tant when you are gone.
You may adopt all the
policies you please, but how
they will be carried out de-
pends upon hint-
Even .if you make leagues
and treaties, he will have to
manage them.
H« is going to sit at your
dtsk in the Senate, and occupy
your place on the Supreme
Bench-
He will assume control of
your cities, states* and nation;
your ptisons, churches,
schools', universities and cor.
poi at ions.
All your work is going to
be judged and praised or con-
demned by ham.
Your reputation and your
future are in his hands-
All your work isr for him,
and the fate of the natipn an

So it might be as well to
pay him some attention.—

Headline writers i n the

Hogs—Steers—Sheep Say:
"The Purina Pound Is Cheapest"
IT'S not what we say about Purina Chows that
counts—it's what the animals say. Through 2,413
feeding records from all leading hog raising centers,
e47 hogs shout, "Purina makes pork at 86.50 per
dred," while 19.890 steers add, "and makes beef
at $10.08." At the same time 33,399 sheep say,
^$9.98 per cwt. gain." No wonder Purina feeders
are making money—more money than by any other
plan of feeding. No wonder we became enthusiastic
■bout Purina and decided to become the local author-
ized distributor of the Checkerboard line.
You'll be an enthusiastic booster, too, once
you've fed Purina to your poultry and live stock.

STARGA
"THE COMPRESSED NATURAL G A $|
m
STARGAS Brings City
Comforts and Conveniences to Rural
and Suburban Home Owners
Lone Star Gas Company, one of America's l argest
natural gat companies with J 5 00 miles of main pipe
linet serving a million and a quarter people, has
recently developed Stascaj, "The Compressed
Natural Gas," to serve thousands not reachcd eco-
nomically through pipe lines.
The public response was instantaneous. The in-
stallations of Stargas equipment ui suburban and
rural homes have far exceeded our original expecta-
tions. One point that has counted heavily with all
who have started using Stargas is that continuous,
dependable service is guaranteed to
each Stargas customer by a company
having millions of dollars invested in
the natural gas industry and mors
than 20 years of experience ui natural
gas service.
With Stargas, all may enjoy the
comforts and conveniences of natural
gas. Stargas may be piped to every
room of the house—for many differ-
ent purposes—from a single Stargas
House Installation. You can use the
same time-tried gas appliances that
arc used with pipe line natural gas,
i
with minor adjustments-. There's nothing available
to suburban and rural home owners to comparc with
Stargas. Present S i micas users are enthusiastic and
would not be without this modern fuel.
Stargas is safe, as reflected .by the approval of
Underwriters Laboratories. Stargas is relial-!., being
guaranteed by Lone Star Gas Company. Stat.cas is
economical for cooking, lighting, hot water, refrig-
eration and ironing (it is not recommenced for
heating). One cylinder of Stargas lasts the average
family about two monilis for cooking. Stargas
Equipment may be purchased on convenient
terms.
Stargas is Lone Star Gas Company's answer
to the demand for natural gas in sections that
cannot be reached economically by pipe lir.es.
Every reader of this newspaper who is not served
by pipe lines should investigate Stargas.
The local gas company in the town in
which this newspaper is published will
gladly give you full information on Star-
gas. If you cannot call in person immedi-
ately, write or telephone for information,
fie ourc to investigate Stargas.
