We thought -fudge Tullos was
going to pass Ibis little paper
up like the famous "pay car"
when bis announcement appear-
ed in last week's Enterprise and
not in the Plain Dealer, hut on
Monday morning friend Mason
Woodard called lo deliver the
Judge's check and message that
we print his announcement this
week—same as the Enterprise
printed Iasi week.
Dout suppose there are any of
our readers that have not al-
ready read it in the 'county
paper’ hut we are glad to com-
ply with his request.
Judge Tullos has had some
rather tough sailing in his otticial
dutfes during his two terms as
county judge and recently told
this writer that most everything
had happened to hurt him polit-
ically. He was gloomy that day.
lie stated that those who wanted
a C'WA job cussed him because
lie couldn’t make Administrator
Jones put them on and those
who saw til to criticise the nets
af the administrator, seemed to
think he iTiiUos) responsible
for the alleged errors.
We tried to cheer him up by
telling him he laid no corner on
the worry market but he seemed
to think we were minimizing his
troubles. He is always frank and
considerate, admits lie's not per
feet, and we commend his can-
didacy to the careful considera
tiou of our readers.
The Iasi letter received says:
“Many thanks to you for your
thoughtfulness in sending to me
The Corrigan Plain Dealer. I
especially enjoyed Ezra Hoskins
in his write up of his trip to
Austin chaperoning me to the
House of Heprcscntntives. 1
showed this edition lo the speak
cr of tlir House and he got as
much kick out of it as 1 did."
t’oiiim ax
We take pleasure in directing
the attention of our readers to
the announcement of Commis-
sioner I!. E. Thompson in this
issue.
Mr. Thompson handed in his
aunmiurement ami left Monday
for a business trip lo Austin.
Without his knowledge or eon
sent we are taking the liberty
lo correct it misunderstanding in
the ini nils of some voters here.
That is, Mr. Thompson has been
'cussed' for spending all the t'W
A time and money on the Hen-
ford road, which is the road To
his home. In this matter lie had
absolutely no voice and the com-
ment of some about him should
he ignored and discouraged. As
a matter of fact, the Commis-
sioners have praetirnlh nothing
to do with t'W A work, except as
another one of the court told us
a few days ago, 'take the ensuin'.
Mr. Thompson lias done his
best to make an otticial worthy
of the trust and it is with pleas
are we commend his candidacy
to the consideration of our read
ere.

The editor journeyed to
Indy, Texas Saturday.
Enroute, we stopped for
chat with the hoys along the line
and one amusing tiling happen-
ed. At Orovetoii, we were anx-
ious to see Roy Dudley who is
a former co-worker in this shop.
Investigation lead us to (hr
C'WA headquarters where he is
now employed as storekeeper.
He was oul and we were inform
ed that he had gone to Trinity
(where the county administrator
lives) after the pay checks. And,
the funny part to us was that a
man, whom we look lo he one of
the laborers, chimed in to say it
was strange they laid to send
after the checks—why couldn't
they be mailed. We agreed with
the brother but told him it could
Is* worse—some counties require
each laborer to report to head-
quarters for their checks. The
gentleman give us a look that is
si ill visible when we close our
tired eyes at night.
Three or four letters have been
received during the past week
from Hon. Carl Hergnian, repre-
sentative of the 28th district,
who is in Austin ill the special
session of the legislature.
One letter asks that we give
notice in the most prominent
part of the paper (that’s why it
is in the editorial column) tell-
ing those who want to he ap-
pointed Notary Public to get in
touch with him.
Another letter stales that he
will announce for re-election in
This Plain Dealer “alter 1 re-
turn from Austin.” Wo are glad
(o hear that good news.
Our good friend C. H. Duiiiiam
sends in his announcement this
week, seeking re-election to the
office of District Clerk
It took us longer to get nr
quninted with Mr. Dunnaui than
it usually does for a printer
get chummy with politicians—
hut, the more we know of him
the better we like him and quite
agree with one of his life long
friends who recently told us that
"Clarence is no politician. He
is just naturally courteous and
accomodating and wins the ad-
miration of his acquaintances
hv strict and prompt attention
to duty."
A news item of interest to our
colored readers, who are beeoin
ing more numerous all time,
that Rev. James H. Spikes of
Corrigan, filled the pulpit for
Rev. Mack Jones at the Antioch
Baptist Church out on East
Prairie last Sunday. His subject
was from the 4th verse of the
137th Psalm. He reports spirits
high at the meeting and stated
the music furnished by the quar-
tet was line.

In tin* dosign a ml development of the new 1914 Chevrolet,
particular attention h.ia been K'ven to driver and pataenger comfort,
all annoying *cmi.ifioiit of disagreeable sound and feeling having

Chevrolet’s "Knee-Action” wheels enjoy the advantage of being every line of this year’s Chevrolet.
The driver and passengers in the new 1934 Chevrolet
get a ride like the glide of an airplane. One of the main
factors in improving the riding qualities of the new car
to such a great extent is the “Knee-Action”—or inde-
pendently sprung front wheels, to use the technical
term.
So much has hcen written about independent spring-
ing that the public has doubtless concluded that it is
something too technical to understand. As a matter of
fact, there is nothing complicated about either the
principle involved or the construction of the system.
Chevrolet’s “Knee-Action” enjoys the advantage of
being enclosed in a welded weathertight housing in
which the entire spring mechanism and shock absorb-
ers ride lip and down in a bath of oil.
An automobile gives a perfect ride when both the
front and rear springs have the same “frequency,” or
tension. Actually this has been impossible to carry out
in the past because the front springs had to be over
twice us "stiff” ns the rear springs In order to hold the
front axle, wheels and brakes in place. In independent
springing, the wheels and spring mechanism arc rigidly
attached directly to the frame and there is no front; - S.
fiy relieving the front springs of the task of earn,.re
wheels and axle, therefore, it became possible to make
the front springs as “soft” as the rear springs. When
the new Chevrolet strikes an irregularity In the road,
both front and rear move up and down with the same
frequency—there is no inclination on the part of the
rear end of the car to leap into the air and throw the
passengers forward and upward.
Chevrolet’s “Knee-Action” has additional advantages
all contributing to a comfort in riding never before
thought possible in a motor car. There Is a decided
improvement in handling, steering, safety at high
speeds arul tire economy.
In design, the front spring is a neat, compact and
efficient unit, as Mr. Holler points out in the above
iij,re' , , entire spring mechanism is attached
rigidly to the frame. From this enclosed unit the wheels
spring vertically at the ends of strong, steel horizontal
arms.
