Nuinlier 52
| By Ezra Hoskins
Well, 1 tole von nil Ins week
wlmt-n mess I wus in here at
home. Now rears of experence
>11011" this line 1ms learnt me
that the hest thing a feller can
«1o when evertliing gangs up on
him around home is to take a
trip.
So evertliing jest worked to
my hand -thanks to Mo. Fergu-
t son. You see. Mil called a spesli-
iaf seshion of the Legislature
tliis week an Carl Bergman, bein
a new ineinber, come out to my
place Saterday an wanted me to
go over to Austin with him an
sortil git him started off rite.
An 1 felt sorta under obligusliion
to Carl, cause you see, I'm the
feller that got him elected, an
bein intrested in him gel tin a
good start—-an ALSO, bein pow-
erful anxus to git out of Liza's
sight fer a few days, 1 decided to
carry Carl over to Austin an
git him unpointed with all the
“Big Hats" around the capital,
an he peered powerful tickled to
have me go along cause he know
ed them fellers couldn’t “city
slick" me.
We left Corrigan Saturday
inornin an got to Austin around
dinner time Monday. Now you
may want to know why it taken
ed us two days to git to Austin
an the answer is, that' our busi-
ness.
News got out that I wus there
an Jla Ferguson she come out
whur I wus an got me an insist
ed I go up to her office. Jim wus
there an give me a big black
sugar an we discussed the states
prohlums an so on. then they
wanted me to eat dinner with
them hut L excused myself cause
I wont hungry—me an Carl
stopped in the edge of town an
ett .'{ hamburgers apiece an
drunk ft bottle of that N R A
(New Roosevelt Ale) they called
it .‘1.2, hut it tasted to me Ink it
had bin deflated insted of inflat-
ed.
1 lost sight of Carl hut 1 drop-
ed into the Attorney Genrals
office an found him in a poker
game, an I’m tellin you all Carl
shore lifts got all the mnkina of
a good statesman—you kin tell
by the way lie stacks the cards.
They come along one of them
‘lobbyest’ who wus agin the Dean
dry law an he loud to me an
Carl that he’d give a hunilerd
dollars to see the dry law repeled
so Carl looked at me an loud,
“What do you think of that
Ezra?” an I sez to him, “don't
rush him lie’ll raise liis hid” an
Carl bein a green hand he didn’t
catch on, but he mite learn.
Bout that time Coke Steverson
spied me'an nothin would do
him eeptin I go up an set by him
an help git the legislature start
ed oil'. They all wanted me to
make a speech hut I'd done a lot
of singin the nite before an wits
powerful hoarse an had one of
them dark brown headakes Ink
you have the mornin utter—but
that’s (mother story. So 1 tole
them I wont prepard to make a
speech hut 1 wus goin to inter-
duee to tin* house of Representa-
tives one of the Premio states-
men of Texas-—a man that will
make histry in this very hall—
a man that is goin to put Texas
on the map—Hon, CARL BERO-
•MAN, of C0RR10AN. Now folks
did they cheer him? Did lie
STREETS TO EE PAVED
B.NTC. CELEBRATE
The Business Men’s Club cele-
brated Monday night. The oceti
sion being their regular monthly
I hani|m*t AND, to rejoice with
one another over the accomplish
meat of the long needed street
work.
President Pool, Vice President
Enloe and Representative Carl
Bergman have been working
night and day for some three or
four weeks on tie* paving and
the feature speech of Monday's
meeting was Mr. Pool's modest
announcement that they had
succeeded in securing some ten
thousand dollars from C.Vv.A.
funds with which to place a III
inch, oil foot crushed rock base
on tin- streets. This will reipiire
about do men two days a week
and the streets to lie topped are
North Street from highway do
to the telephone office; Pine St.,
from Highway ltlti to North St.,
Front St., from Highway do to
the wafer works, and First Si
from Highway do to the School.
The banquet was spread in the
court house and there were some
thirty men present. Mason Wood
art! and his string hand were on
hand with good music. The col-
ored quartet rendered several
good numbers. They were espec-
ially good considering that one
of their number. Ruben Fisher
had only been married a few
minutes. He was married to
Brunei Tarver at 7:15 and was
on hand at 8 o'clock to sing.
A telegram was sent to Hon.
Carl Bergman expressing regret
that he had a plate paid for and
was unable to la* on hand to eat.
To add insult to injury, the
wire was sent collect and signed
by all present.
Work on the street paving will
probably lie under way by the
end of the week.
The next meeting of the dub
will he Monday. February 12.

A model Chevrolet is now
on display at the Beamons Chev-
rolet Company show room in tin
city.
The general public is cordially
invited to inspect this ear and
learn of its many new improve-
ments.
A new automobile merchan-
dising policy, whereby the pur-
chaser will be apprised of the
lull cost of his automobile de
Iiveil'd in front of Ids door, rath-
er flam having to rely on ainbig
nous "f.o.li." prices, bus been an-
nounced by Ibis organization.
“We are going to take the
blinders oil' the order binnk."
said an official of the Chevrolet
company. “We are going to let
everybody know exactly how
nuudi their ears will cost them
delivered in front of their doors.
We are going (o show exactly
"lull imikes up the difference be-
tween tlie list, or f.o.h, price and
the final delivered cost.’’
As an instnnee of wind the
new procedure means to car bliv-
et's, it is pointed out, that while
list prices on the company's new
BUI models average sill higher
than in ITU. the actual increase
in cost to the purchaser in New
York is only Bid. While the list,
or 'f.o.li.' price, throughout the
1 idled States averages I I per
cent above 111.'!.'!, the delivered
costs actually a vertigo, only
per cent higher.
"I am ninlideiil," the official
said, ' that tin’s plan will entilih
us 1o deliver ntitomohiles all over
<he country al a lower price to
• he purchasin' I linn any other
make of volume car.”
“After all lie said, “the man
wlm buys «.n automobile wants
to know how much his ear will
cost him standing in front of his
home. Hereafter our salesmen
nre going In quote him I lint fig
........Illy. He will he spared the
mipleasanlness of discovering
* La I the ultimate ensl was eon
s idem lily almve Ill's llrsl expeetll-
lion."
“Needless to say. this new
merchandising policy was mudp
possible through (lie wltolelienri
ed co-operulion of our 10,000
dealers. They have boon quick to
concur with our opinion that the
new policy j x fundamentally
right and that we will have the
support of the public as soon ns
they recognize our ninis.”
"The line response of the pub-
lic in terms of orders will insure
the day and night operation of
our plaids for many months to
come." lie said.

/. n Iforrry in “My Lips

At last Lilian Harvey makes
an appearance, heralded in ad-
vance for many months. She
comes to the t'orrigmi Theatre
tomorrow in "Aly Lips Betray”,
the new Fox romance that is
v: le-luleil for an engagement of
two days.
It is an audacious
comedy of a gild \\ bo
tlie king's ear anil is
of being bis favorite
scandal that soot
enough. It is
love ... with a eontinentiil llavor
... spicily set to music.
Here is Lilian Harvey in an
ideal picture. She lias been hon-
ored by Europe itid iicelilirned
in America for her portrayal in
"Congress Dance!-’. And now
Ibis inlei'ii.'itioiiiiI beuuly lias a
role that endows her myriad
elmrms with every resource at
the command of Hollywood.
John Boles is her lending man
Air. Bergman rushed in early
this week to ask that we It'll all

this time lli.'ii they will like. He
will | reselli the Educational film
outiiled 'King Zilch,’ for the en-
lei'liiiiimeni of the kiddies.
An inexpensive way of adding
beauty and color to tlie home is
through the use of hooked rugs
and units, according to Aliss
Ruth Causey, County Home
Demonstration Agent, in a talk
given to the members of the Poll,
County Home Demonstration
•'lull who attended a rug school
held Friday, January li*. al tin
Court House. "Worn out gar-
ments of wool, cot ton, and linen
may he used for the rugs while
discarded woven and knit silk
and ruvon garments may lie used
to make lovely table and chair
mats and cushion tops," stated
Aliss Causey. Only materials of
the same fibre should he used in
a rug; that is, al! wool, all cot-
ton, or all burlap.
Each woman attending the
school had a piece of closclv
woven burlap a little larger than
they wanted their rug or mat to
he. This material was fastened
firmly to a table with thumb
tacks. A large piece of heavy
pencil carbon and the design
they wanted to use were thumb
tacked over t li is. Care was taken
to keep the straight edge of the
pattern in line with the weave
of tlie foundation material. The
blunt edge of a crochet needle nr
some other such instrument was
used instead of a pencil which
cuts through the pattern, de
straying it and the carbon paper..
At least three inches was left as
a margin beyond lhe rag pal lent
so that the worker might fasten
the burlap in tlie frame and leave
some for the finished Item. The
burlap was then lacked securely
onto the frame and each woman
practiced hooking. Several auto-
matic hooks were used hut most
of the women used either a cro-
chet hook or a hook similar to a
crochet hook, made by tiling a
nail so that it had a hook on the
point. A wooden handle was
then pul on this. The materinl
for hooking was cut into strips
from one-fourth inch or less in
width. Wiry materials such as
mohair and serge were cut on the
true bins; knitted materials, silk
and wool, were cut lengthwise.
When these rugs and mats are
completed they will he removed
from the frame and a one and
one-half inch hem put in. All
corners should be mitered.
