Is there any limit to what a woman
will go through for love of a man?
"No," says Irene Dunne—and the
1 whole history of humanity seems to
bear her out in her contention. Records
1 of the past—and present—are filled
with countless instances of the unrea-
soning recklessness of the woman
whose heart is filled with love.
"I really feel," says Miss Dunne,
| "that my latest screen role, in Fan-
nie Hurst's domestic drama, 'Back
Street,' represents an actual condition
which is constantly before our eyes.
In the story I give up position, wealth,
respectability and friends, simply be-
cause Walter Saxel, played by John
Boles, is a married man and must
constantly maintain me in apartments
in 'back streets.' "
"And I think that this Universal
picture portrays as no other which
has gone before the tragedy, as well
as the happiness, of such an associa-
tion."
I John M. Stahl, famous as a pro-
ducer of domestic drama, directed
"Back Street," and the cast support-
ing Miss Dunne and Boles includes
June Clyde, George Meeker, Zasu
Pitts, Shirley Gray, William Bake-
well, Doris Lloyd and Arietta Duncan.
It is coming to the Franklin Theatre,
Bay City, on Sunday and Monday.

SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY NEV
Mr. and Mrs_ J. V. Brocker were
visiting friends in Palacios Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Henderson were
in our community Sunday afternoon.
A small crowd gathered at the
school house Sunday night for sing-
j ing.
Miss Cox, the County De monstrator,
met wiih the 4-H Club girls Friday af-
ternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Gerhard and
family, and Mrs. Schutte, visited the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Roda
at Boling Sunday.
Misses Pearce and Howell, and
Morgan spent the week end at their
respective homes. Thay were also
Edna visitors Saturday.
We were pleasantly surprised Wed-
nesday afternoon by a visit from Mrs.
Verna K. Harper, Mrs. Brickel, Mrs
Ward and Miss Katharine Young, of
Edna. Of course we are always glad
to have Mrs. Harper with us, but it
was an "extra" surprise to have the
other ladies. Miss Young told us
about the plans for the Centennial Cel-
ebration, and we are very glad to give
her our support in putting over the
plan. Mrs, Brickel, who is chairman
I of the Bi-centennial Tree-Planting
Committee, discussed plans for beauti-
fying our campus. She brought us
seeds and vines and told us how to
transplant many local shrubs. Last,
but not least, we had a nice talk by
| Mrs. Ward. Many, many years ago,
Mrs. Ward taught a little school near
the present East Caraneahua cross-
ing. She told us about it and even
showed us the old blue-back speller
she used, where Mrs. Ward's old home
stood, in what is now Francitas Park.
There are some shrubs she planted
there. We plan to transplant some on
the school ground in honor of Mrs.
Ward. We hope these ladies will vis-
it us again some time.

The recent rains in central west
Texas have damaged the feed crops
and cotton but the fall gardens are
growing "like Jack's bean stalk".
Many of the early gardeners are en-
joying mustard greens, early radishes,
new butter beans from the old plants,
fresh okra, green peppers, and fall
roasting ears. Many with subirriga-
tion systems in their gardens now
have new fall tomatoes. With the fine
supply of moisture many west Texas
gardens are still being planted. Car-
rots, beets, Swiss chard, spinach, cab-
bage, onions, turnips, radishes, Eng-
lish peas, and lettuce are the principal
vegetables being planted. You garden-
ers who have not already planted the
above named list of vegetables, had
better get busy.
Some Outstanding Garden Examples
This garden paid 108% of invest-
ment. Miss Elsie Phillips, home agent
of Hardeman County, reports that
Mrs. K. M. Foster, garden demonstra-
tor, made a net profit of $141.95 from
the garden. The cost of producing this
garden was $13.10.
Money is being made from gardens
like this one. Miss Lula Muriel Dil-
worth, home agent of Upshur County,
reports that Mrs. C. L. Hurt, garden
demonstrator of the Rosewood com-
munity has a net profit of $85 from
her garden up to August 1st, Also
three hundred and thirteen containers
of canned vegetables and a supply of
fresh vegetables have been furnished
for the tahle throughout the entire
spring and summer from a plot of
ground three-fourth of an acre in size.
Mrs. Hurt is saving seed from car-
rots, lettuce, okra, beans, and peas.
These gardens gave valuable pro-
ducts. Miss Janir Hightower, Orange
PERFORM^
Nobody ever got tny more out of a product than some one
put into it, th«t you'll agree. And that's just as true of
tire* ai of anything else.
For 34 years Fisk has been building tires that give back, in
actual performance, the most for your money — in safely, comfort
and mileage.
And now, in the new and improved Fisk — the tire with the
7 plus features of added value — you'll find unhoped for riding
comfort and insurance. For each of these features — refinements
of construction, newly developed niceties of balance and design,
adds immeasurably to riding comfort and tire life. All without
price premium.
Cmk in and let w tkavt tou ltul wrd in tin tmtue,
County home demonstrator agent, re-
ports that demonstration gardens in
Orange County during the month of
August showed that eight gardens had
produced vegetables valued at $2,-
151,30. This shows an average value
of $261.78 per garden. Mrs, Alva Wil-
ley of the Mauriceville Community has
spent only $3 per month for groceries.
Her garden vegetables produced prior
to August 1st were valued at $297.
Questions and Answers
Farm Wife:—Would you plant all
of the garden in fall vegetables?
Home Agent:—If one-half of the
garden is planted in full vegetables
vou should have an abundance of fresh
vegetables for the table throughout,
the winter. In the early spring the
spring vegetables can be planted and
later as the winter vegetables are re-
moved, hot weather vegetables, such
as okra, New Zealand spinach, peas,
etc. should go in. Vegetables such as
carrots, onions, late cabbage, and
Swiss Chard when planted in the fall
garden will also be available for use
throughout the following spring and
early summer. You should have this
in mind in planting the fall garden
and locate these vegetables where they
will not be trampled or damaged when
the spring garden is planted.
Farm Wife:—What variety of cab-
bage should I plant in my fall garden?
Home Agent:—You should plant at
least one or possibly three varieties.
It is as easy to plant three different
kinds as it is to plant one. The Early
Jersey Wakefield is the earliest va-
riety for you to use. Copenhagen
Market is a medium early variety,
while Flat Dutch is a later variety
that will produce excellent heads of
"hard headed" cabbage in the late
spring.
Farm Wife:—Should I dig my fall
Irish potatoes before frost?
Home Agent:—Fall Irish potatoes
will usually continue to make until
frost kills the vines, If the crop is
dug earlier the yield is cut short and
the potatoes, because of being im-
mature, will not keep well. It is best
to wait for frost to kill the vines
before digging.
Farm Wife:—How can I keep my
Irish potatoes on the farm without los-
ing some of them from decay?
Home Agent:—The Irish cobbler
variety is best for farm storage. If
beat results are expected by storing
potatoes on the farm, only the sound
ones should be stored. Damaged pota-
toes will not improve any in storage
and if they ore placed in storage with
sound potatoes, the entire lot will like-
ly be lost. Potatoes should be left in
the open a few hours after digging to
allow them to dry. They should then
be moved carefully into storage.
The place where the potatoes are
to be stored should be clean and
thoroughly ventilated so as to allow an
air current through the potatoes at
all times. If the storage chamber is
an outhouse, cut several holes in each
end of the house both top and bottom
to allow for circulation. About 70 sq.
in. of ventilation space should be pro-
vided for each 1,000 cu. ft. of storage
A Few Chosen Errors
A certain percentage of the gray
hairs that sprout each day on the edi-
torial cranium are, no doubt, caused
by the errors that slink past the edi-
tor and pop up in all their ugliness
in the week's edition.
Here are a few:
"lie is described as having brown
hair, turning gray, and all his sup-
per teeth are missing."
"Doctor Jones, formerly of Mem-
phis, has completed a revival at the
First Church here, during which tight
members were received."
"A young woman wants washing
and cleaning daily."
"Green colored girl wants work un-
til after Christmas."
"While trimming a cottonwood tree
Monday, Bill Smith suffered a severe
blow on the head, when a large branch
turned and struck him."
"Harry Taylor, school principal here,
has a stone apple-jar that has been in
the family 109 years. Next year it
will be one hundred and ten years old."
"Young Lady—Eighteen years old
as beginner in respectable office or
otherwise."—Michigan Bulletin.
First place in the fifth annual acci-
dent prevention contest, conducted by
the National Safety Council among
electric companies with more than 500
employes was won by Central Power
and Light Company, according to ad-
vices from Washington, D. C., where
the National Safety Congress is now
iri session.
This is the first time an electric
company in this part of the United
States has won first place in the na-
tional contest, and acquiring the hon-
or is expected to bring considerable
publicity to South and Southwest Tex-
as through newspapers and trade jour-
nals.
" : rot, C. P. and L. safety di-
rt the trophy commom-
. -.rd on behalf of his
ntation was made by
tt of Chicago, president
of Safety, on October 5,
efore a luncheon in the Wardman
ark Ti. t 1 in Washignton. The na-
tionwide contest, designed to reduce
the number of accidents to hours work-
ed, covered the year ending June 30.
"Full credit for winning the contest
belong to Cesntral Power and Light
Company's employes in the field, who
responded enthusiastically to the com-
pany's program of education along the
lines of accident prevention," Picnot
said. During the last 156 days of
the contest, there was not a single
accident to a C. P. and L. employe in
the entire South and Southwest Texas
territory, he pointed out. Some dis-
tricts in this area reported no acci-
dents during the whole year.
Picnot praised the interest of E. B.
Neiswanger, president of Central
Power and Light Company, in safety
work and said that he believed Neis-
wanger's enthusiasm for tha accident
prevention program has inspored field
employes to greater efforts. Work-
men are provided with every modern

space. False floors made of small poles
or slats held six inches or more from
the bottom of the structure will insure
better circulation of air. It is prefer-
able to spread the potatoes out on the
floor, but this is impractical and the
potatoes must be piled together, an
allowance for air circulating through
the pile must be made. Funnels one to
two feet in diameter made of woven
vire extending the depth of the pile
should be placed every four or five
feet throughout the mass of tubers to
allow vertical ventilation as well as
horizontal ventilation. It is best to
keep the storage house dark to pre-
vent the potatoes from turning green.
Farm Wife:—How can I control
Harlequin cabbage bug in my garden?
It is destroying my collai'ds and cab-
bage plants.
Home Agent:—The most effective
spray for Harlequin cabbage bug is
soap solution. White soaps forming a
good suds have proven better than fish
oil soaps or yellow laundry soaps. The
solution is prepared by shaving one
pound of scap into a gallon or two of
boiling water, adding more water if
necessary to completely dissolve it and
diluting it to make six gallons. The
powdered or flaked soaps are easily
dissolved but most soaps have the
troublesome property of forming into
a jelly-like substance when the solu-
tion is cold and must be applied while
still warm. Crystal cocoa hardwater
soap does not have this fault and a
stock solution which will remain liquid
at ordinary summer temperature can
be made by dissolving one pound in
one-half gallon of water.
The good old days! What are they?
They were the days before the elec-
tric lights came, when the only illum-
ination was the flickering, smoking,
dripping candle.
They were the days of log houses,
"Winning the award is simply the
cumulative effect of long-continued
work on the part of the company's
entire personnel to carry out fully the
accident prevention program of the
Bureau of Safety," Picnot stated. "We

The nation today owes much to
those "good old days."
We have the idea that the vote at
the coming election will not only be
the largest in history, but that it
will also be the most intelligently east
of any election we have ever had.
The depression has impelled our voters
to want to think, and the radio has
given them a chance to make up their
own minds about the candidates and
measures. The disgrace of this Gov-
ernment is that in the past only about
50 per cent of our voters have ex-
ercised their right to make a choice
at the polls. If they don't do better
than that this year they are not en-
titled to a better government.
